“Damien is a good guy. He has a dark side like all of us Lycans. It’s funny, it's like we could only become a Lycan if we had a bad past.” She half smiles. “Fucked up, right?”
“You really believe that?”
“I saw the girl’s arms. Whats her name, Jess? Kids don’t cut themselves like that unless there is some seriously bad shit going on.”
“And you?”
“I watched my father stab my mother over and over in a frenzied attack. After I attacked your friend, all I could see was my father in me. I had become exactly like him. And that is exactly what Cassandra wanted, what she hoped for.”
She ruffles up her blonde hair. “Cassandra never chose normal, happy people. She always chose someone with issues. People who would perform the cruellest acts.”
I feel my stomach drop. What was Damien’s past? Why had she chosen him?
“And Damien?” I was almost afraid to ask
“It’s something he never talks about.”
“Never?”
“Never. I’m sorry, that’s not the answer you were looking for.”
I stand up to leave and glance back over my shoulder at her. “You should tell Dane and Neah what you told me.”
She snorts. “You think that will make Neah think differently of me?”
“She has a dark past too. The only difference is, she is a pure blood. The last living one. She has a hard time trusting people after her history was built on lies.”
‘Well that was not what I was expecting!’ Midnight tells me as we make our way to the pack house.
Neah and Dane were no longer outside arguing and were most likely making up when she should be resting, but Jenson is sat out front. Maybe he could give me some advice.
“What were you doing at Mallory’s?” He asks as I drop down in a seat next to him.
“I’m mated to a Lycan too.”
I didn’t have to look at him to know he was staring at me.

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????...
