The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 70
Neah
Focussing on my hand, I run my thumb over the palm. There wasn’t even a tiny mark. It had been so long since I had healed this quickly.
Over the years, Trey and the pack had great fun in trying to make the bruises last longer than a few seconds. Hitting me harder and harder, sometimes, breaking my bones, only to hit me again once they had healed.
After I was bound the final time, the beatings continued, just not to the same extent. They got their satisfaction by seeing me permanently wounded.
“It’s the Alpha in you.” Alpha Dane mutters. “The only reason it took so long before is because of the binding.”
Curling my hand into a ball, I dig my own nails into my skin, watching tiny beads of blood appear. The moment I release, the small wounds are gone and I’m just left with a few droplets of red, staining my hand.
“This is what Trey wanted, Neah. To beat you down, to take away your power, to make you little more than nothing. And you,” he tips my chin up with a single finger. “You are not nothing. I need you to see that.”
His hands move to my hips as he continues to stare at me. “And we are telling the pack today.”
“No.” I shake my head at him. I just wasn’t ready. I didn’t even want to see what I looked like as a monster.
“Neah, it’s time. I’ve held off for as long as possible. They need to know.”
“I...I don’t have a choice, do I?” I whisper, lowering my eyes.
“Not this time, no.”
Maybe it was better that they knew. If they decide they don’t want me here, it would be better to find out now.
“They will want you here.”
I look back at Alpha Dane to see his crimson eyes watching me. He didn’t seem in the least bit worried.
Closing my eyes, I nod my head, Still not quite believing that I was agreeing to it.
I involuntarily snort. “Technically so is Trey.”
“You have a point. Speak to Eric, he has been having a lot more conversations with him than I have.”
“What do you mean?”
“It’s a long story.” He mutters. He picks up the ear plugs off the table and hands them to me. “You are probably going to need these.”
Quietly pushing them back in my ears, I scan the room looking for a dustpan and brush to sweep up the broken glass.
“There will be someone along to clean it up.” Alpha Dane tells me as he tries to guide me from the room. “It’s time to go.”
Walking over the snowy ground, we pass the training hall, travelling further south than I had ever been. We duck into the trees, following a well trodden trail, moving deeper into the forest. Alpha Dane keeps his fingers locked around mine at all times as my nerves build. The growing knot in my stomach wasn’t helping and we had to stop multiple times so that I could vomit.
We were surrounded by some that had shifted while others were still in human form. There were so many of them, more than I had ever seen. It made it even scarier, if they attaked, I didn't stand a chance.

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 ☺️...
