It was like I was being scolded. I couldn’t help the way my brain automatically tried figuring things out. It wasn’t my fault that I naturally looked for answers.
“You liked it when I found my confidence to kill.” I mumble. We had sex in the forest that day.
“I know, but if I lose you over it….” He shakes his head. “I just can’t lose you or the twins, okay.”
I nod and try to clear my head as he stretches back up to full height, turning his attention to the training.
Lying myself back on the fake grass, I stare up at the blue sky. Dane was making the most of training this morning as a storm was supposed to be coming in tonight.
I hated storms, the sharp cracks of lightning always reminded me of being hit, particularly whipped. I probably won’t sleep later.
Mallory comes bounding up to us after training. Her skin shiny from the sweat. She wipes her forehead, flinging the beads of sweat onto the grass, “So, how did I do?”
“As well as what I expected.”
She smiles at him. “So I got the job, right?”
Dane cocks an eyebrow at her in confusion.
“To protect Neah, right?”
“I don’t need your protection!” I snap and Danes hand wraps around my wrist as he gives me a warning glare to calm down.
“What Neah means to say is that she doesn’t need protection right now. She has me.” He smiles at her
“I thought this was why you wanted me to train?” She scoffs, “To test my skills so you knew I could watch her.”
“I think you misunderstood me, Mallory. I said to test you while I watch Neah.” Dane tells her. “I am grateful that you want to offer your services, but right now, Neah isn’t leaving my side.”
There is annoyance in her brown eyes, but I’m not sure if Dane saw it. If he did, he kept his face unreadable.

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????...
