“Oh you know how I love to wind your sister up. Nothing ever changes with her. I bet it drives Salem nuts.”
She didn’t know, she wasn’t around to learn that Raven and Salem were no longer a thing
“She’s happy.” I lie
Veronica doesn’t respond. She’s staring up at the house. As I look over my shoulder, I see Neah standing on the doorstep. Raven and Eric stand either side of her.
“Is that her?” Veronica whispers
“Yes.”
She grips my upper arm. “She isn’t much to look at is she!”
“Let go.”
“You think she can take me out?” She muses.
That wasn’t what I was worried about. I could sense Neah’s jealousy from here. If she shifts, I won’t be able to stop it. Raven and Eric won’t be able to stop it. And none of us knew what Neah is really capable of.
Grabbing Veronica’s hand, I bend it back towards herself. She whimpers at the pain of her arm being in the wrong position.
“Get out of my sight!” I snarl at her.
“I’m going. I’m going.” She frowns in Neah’s direction before stomping off while cradling her arm.
My eyes lock with Neah’s as I approach the house.
“Is she leaving?” Raven asks
“No. I mutter without looking at her. “She’s decided to settle.”
Neah doesn’t react. She stands completely still, her eyes remain locked on mine. She wasn’t angry, she seemed to be confused about the jealousy she is feeling.
“You are letting her stay?” Raven questions me. “After all that she has done. She’s a lunatic.”
“Yes, I agree she has made some poor choices. But none of us are exactly innocent. Well, almost none of us. If she tries anything, then she will be gone. I have warned her.”
And still, Neah doesn’t speak.
Raven brushes past me, “I hope you know what you are doing, Dane. Don’t let her ruin this.”
“Go inside.” I tell Neah, “I just need to speak to Eric.”

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????...
