Dane
Jenson starts climbing the wooden fence.
I grab his shoulder “You have to wait. We don’t know what we are walking into.”
“Does it matter? I need to help her, she is running. I can track her.”
“Dane is right.” Mallory mutters. “You don’t know what else is in there.”
‘What is she talking about?’ Aero asks
“Rogue Lycans?” Jenson chuckles. “I’ve killed enough Lycans already, a couple more won’t hurt.”
Mallory looks at me. “I didn’t tell you everything. When you asked me if there were more. I said a few.”
“Is this something to do with the Damien guy you keep mentioning?”
“No.” Her eyes scan the corn.
“They hide here, is that what you are trying to say?”
“It's more than that! Look around you Dane, there are not many hiding places out here. But you should know that there are some who stay in Lycan form, almost like they have lost their human side.” She looks around her. “How many humans have you seen since you arrived in this town? And no police.”
“They killed the humans?”
“They feast on them.”
‘Fucking gross!’ Aero gags
“That’s why Damien tried to get rid of us?”
She nods, her dirty blonde hair falling around her face. “Damien keeps the Rogues from moving elsewhere. He brings them bad people. You know, criminals, people that hurt children. Those kind."
“How many are there?” Jenson asks as he continues to stare into the cornfield
“A dozen.”
“Damien’s the only one like you?” I ask. “One that still shifts between both forms?”
She nods.
“Screw it!” Jenson charges into the corn
“Don’t!” Mallory grabs my arm again. “You have a mate to go back to. I can’t be the reason she gets hurt again.”
“Jenson is my brother!” I mutter, pulling my wrist free of her grip. “And Jess is her family.”
Quickly hurrying into the corn, I realise I am practically blind. The tall stems block my view of everything. Whichever way Jenson had headed, the corn stems had jumped right back up in position. I would be relying entirely on my nose. And that was the problem. Lycans didn’t have a scent when they shifted.
Mallory appears next to me. “I will try to help.”
We creep forward, inch by inch, following Jenson’s scent.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West)
Ugh! Just when i went to go press next chapter, the 10 daily chapters were finished🥲 lol totally loving this book. Different from the other shifter books that i've read in a good way....
I'm so happy I found this here! I was reading it on GoodNovel but I deleted the app after learning they take away "watch the ads to unlock chapters" once you make a purchase. It rubbed me wrong they pretty much "punish" you once you give them your money and take away for you to read the chapters for free, so I deleted app. I'm happy I found it here and excited to read it on here!!...
Could it be Eric?...
I am curious though, is Neah's instinct about Mallory correvt though? Is Mallory trustworthy? I am also having my doubts about her...
I love this story...
I wish we could just get all the chapters. I'm dying to know more....
Why is this so good???...
As of chapter 60. I agree with Neah. She is not required to care. Leave the a-holes to their fate....
This is really a good novel.. I liked the slow character developments of protogonists.. specially Neah's courage n Dame's patience!!...
Listen is not enough... what about 15 a day??? Or 20??? Or the rest of them????...
