The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 96
Neah.
The following three days saw more Lycans appear. One would turn up, or sometimes two. They never turned up in the same place, but they all had the same goal, trying to break through the boundaries. None of them made it far. A metre, maybe two before being torn apart. Some tried in their human form, others had already shifted. I didn’t recognise any of the unshifted ones. And when their bodies were searched, bite marks were found, confirming that they were not pure Lycans.
Alpha Dane was growing more and more pissed too. He paced more, talked to himself more or rather he spoke to Aero, trying to decide on the next steps. And if he wasn’t talking to Aero, he was snapping at everyone else.
Though it worried me that these Wolves were going to hit burnout. Jenson had them working around the clock, with barely a few hours rest in between and if they started to fall, we would be screwed.
Still, I had to remain at Alpha Danes side. He never spoke of it, but I knew he would blame himself if someone got their hands on me.
‘He’s doing it again.’ Nyx mutters
I look up from the kids book that I’m supposed to be trying to read. Alpha Dane is looping the desk, striding around it with a deep scowl on his face. His feet practically burning a hole in the plush grey carpet.
“It doesn’t make any sense.”
I didn’t know if he was talking to me or Aero.
I revert my gaze back to the book, silently sounding out the letters in my head. There wasn’t a lot I could say even if I wanted to. This was not my area of expertise.
From the corner of my eye, I see how he picks up the weird little paper weight thing that sits on the corner of his desk. He lobs it at the wall. The act makes me flinch and cower. Memories of the past creeping in.
Today was not the first time he had thrown something. And the guilt inside me continues to grow. The Lycans were only here for me.
“Sorry.” He mutters. “I didn’t mean to scare you.”
“Has there been another?” I ask quietly, already knowing the answer by the look he gives me.
He bobs his head, his crimson eyes not quite meeting mine.
“Jenson thinks they are trying to find a weak spot. An area that is not as well protected. But my pack is growing tired. We have a large amount of land to cover.”
"You mean, they never thought they would lose me."
He nods his head, if it were the other way around, I would do exactly the same."
‘He’s right.’ Nyx murmurs. ‘It’s actually quite a smart move.”
‘Smart for Trey.’ I mutter back. It was probably one of the few things Devon had told the truth about. None of it was Trey, it was all Cassandra and I couldn’t wait to kill her.
Alpha Dane and I hadn’t spoken about it. Not once since we had sex in the forest. It almost felt like it was a forbidden conversation, speaking of the joy I had felt at seeing the dead Lycan.
That dead Lycan wasn’t the first. Each one, Alpha Dane would take me to them, asking me to try and identify them. And each and every time, I found myself staring at the dead body with it’s torn out throat, a smile etched on my lips. He was right. I had a dark side. Or maybe it’s just years of trauma finally bubbling to the surface.
I look up to see Alpha Dane peeling the lodged paper weight out of the wall. His shoulders are tense, his crimson eyes are a little darker. He puts the paper weight back on the table. I knew it was only going to be a matter of time before it was lodged in the wall again.

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....
