The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 60
Dane
It was rare, but now and again, snap little comments would come through taking us both by surprise.
“I’m not being weird. There is just a lot going on at the moment.”
‘You are being an idiot again!’ Aero mumbles
‘What am I supposed to say? ‘Hey, by the way, you were actually bound more than twice because they were scared of you.’ Or maybe, ‘You don’t need to worry about shifting, you’ve already done it!’ Do you think she wants to hear that, Aero? She is petrified of shifting!’
‘Fine,’ He sulks, ‘Do it your way.’
“You…you still haven’t said anything.” Neah mutters. “Is Aero….is he saying something to you, is he talking about me?”
“Aero cares for you as much as I do, we just have different opinions when it comes to certain situations.”
Her brow dips a little. “He wants you to…tell…..me something?” Her frown grows
“Not here!” I mumble, looking around at my people moving around. Grabbing her hand, I tug her back toward the house, shutting us in my office.
Plonking herself down in a chair, she immediately pulls her legs up to her chest. It took me a while to realise it was her way of defending herself, trying to prevent Trey and his crew hitting her ribs and stomach. Though now it was becoming a habit when she felt unprepared.
“It’s bad, isn’t it?” she whispers “Veronica is back and now you and Aero have decided…..”
“It’s nothing to do with Veronica.”
“I don’t….. I don’t understand.”
“The last few days, we have spent a lot of time in the bedroom. During this time, there was a visitor.”
“Trey?” she asks alarmed
“No, a Witch.”
“Oh,”
“The same Witch that bound your abilities.” It was like tearing off a band aid slowly. “When you were a newborn pup.”
Her forehead wrinkles as her eyes widen. “No….when I was six.”
I don’t give her the other information just yet and explain that this is the same Witch that I met with to discuss unbinding her. The same Witch that had bailed when I mentioned the name of Neah's pack and now I knew why.
“She helped Trey?”
“No, Neah." I sigh, "She helped your father.”
Her eyes drop from my gaze. Her hands grab the arm rests of her chair and her knuckles are momentarily whiter than white as she squeezes the wood. I feel her sudden rise in anger.
“My...my father?”
“Yes.”
“My….my father. He…he wanted me bound?” she spits out the words.
Her anger quickly fades and her eyes become filled with tears.
“I know this isn’t what you want to hear, Neah, but from what she told me. I don’t think it was just Trey and Cassandra that were responsible. I believe it goes back further than that.”
“Are you okay?”
“I think I’ve heard that name.”
“Madame Curie?” I ask curiously
Her jaw clenches as she nods her head.
“From someone here?”
“No, it’s just….it’s something up here.” She taps her head. "Familiar."
“Like I said, they feared you Neah. That’s why the Witch was involved. They fear a female Alpha.”
“I’m not.”
“You are a rare female Alpha of a dying breed.”
She gets to her feet and moves around the desk to my window. “I’m not powerful, Alpha Dane. I’m just me….I’m just the girl that was made a slave. I’m not…. I’m not anything powerful. And I wish…. Please stop saying it.”
I feel her sadness. She just wouldn’t believe that it was a possibility.
“If they are dying, let them die out.” She mutters, as she continues to look out the window.
“Let them die out?” Her comment takes me by surprise, that I have to confirm what I just heard.
She slowly turns to me and a tear is edging its way down over her cheek but she is so angry. “They did horrible things to me. They don’t deserve to live.”

Execcelent! Loved it!...
What about 80? I can only go up to 79...
I am clearly coming late to this book …me definitely one of the more well written ones. I feel like Im reading a series though … like I just finished reading two books and now we are off onto another storyline. Getting used to “splutter” instead of “sputter” as a word, and still trying to work out the “Lycan” logic as Blairs explanation doesn’t really make sense given the initial explanation of how Lycans came to be … I do wish these were in physical form. I do love to flip back and forth on pages to reread previous chapters. So much arder on these apps....
I love this book. I wish there were more chapters. I read this all in a week. I know life outside of writing is more important. I will just sit and wait for more to be released. I will support you always Taylor. Thank you for sharing your talents....
Ooh and thanks to the website techs ☺️...
Whether it's pirated or not doesn't really concern me,, when are we getting the final chapters 🥹...
EclecticCelt sounds like your got massive issues because you can't understand something straightforward...
The last this book was updated was December 2024 not 3 years like someone else claimed. It can't be 3 years when the author started the story in Jan 2024. Now the story can be found on Inkitt...
I have a question. I understand this book is pirated with left out parts or adjusted. Is this version here ever going to be finished. I just want to know what happens....
I recently learned that this story is pirated. To read it legally, go to inkitt.com or the Inkitt app and search for Taylor West. FYI, the Facebook group is highly cliquish, so be warned....
