“What kind of book are you looking for?” I ask, thinking that if he gave me a description of the cover, I would be able to help him find it.
There’s no answer.
Turning around, I don’t see him and my heart skips a beat.
“Klaus?”
Still nothing.
Racing between the shelves, I call out to him. There is still no answer, in fact there doesn’t seem to be anyone else here,
“KLAUS?” I was desperate. My heart starts to race, my breathing quickened as I weakly call out his name again.
Turning up the final aisle, I freeze. Cassandra stood perfectly still. A smug smile on her face. Her arms folded just under her chest as she grins at me.
“So the rat has found her voice.”
Just behind her, I see a foot poking out. A large boot that looked like the ones Klaus wears. A thick iron scent was slowly filling the air around me.
“Did….did you kill him?”
She turns and kicks him in the side and he doesn’t make a sound.
“The Alpha let you out then.” Her eyes settle on the mark on my neck.
“I’m not…I’m not alone.” I splutter
“Oh I know, but they aren’t here with you now, are they?! It's just us.” She combs her fingers through her long blonde hair. “And where is the good old Alpha Dane? If you are his contract bride, I’m surprised he let you out with these idiots.”
“Where’s…..where’s Trey?”
“That is Alpha Trey to you!” She spits, “And it is none of your business.”
“This is neutral territory…..You….they won’t like you here.” I glance at Klaus’s foot which is moving a little. “They have their own rules.”
“Do you think I care about that? You are the reason my brother is dead!”
“And you are the reason my parents are dead!” My abrupt response takes me by surprise.
“Tried. Something tells me that is all she can do is try. She has most likely never killed anyone in her life. She sets others up to do her dirty work.” He smiles. “Dane is going to have a field day when I take you to our dungeons. I wonder what he will remove first. A finger, perhaps a toe. Maybe your tongue.”
“As much as you want to kill her, Klaus.” Beta Eric continues. “Dane would much rather see to it, after all she is targeting his mate.”
“Bride.” Cassandra spits.
She had seen my mark, did she not think it was genuine?
“Mate.” Beta Eric mutters. “You have crossed over into a different territory. Cassandra. Not only have you played with fire, you have given yourself the death penalty.”
“Trey will come for you!” Cassandra screeches and I cover my ears
“I don’t doubt it. And I am very much looking forward to it.” He looks up at Klaus. “My van is out the back, take her out to it and lock her in.”
“Fuck you, you stupid Wolves!”
Klaus scowls.
“Go on then, shift.” Beta Eric muses. “I dare you.”

The readers' comments on the novel: The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West)
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....
