“Ah, I leaned over you. You don’t like that. Sorry. I won’t do that again. Personal space isn’t one of my strongest areas.”
He takes a seat on one of the worn sofas under the window. His deep green eyes move to the glass in my hand. “Are you planning on using that as a weapon?”
“No…..I….” Maybe it wasn’t such a bad idea
“It’s not poison. I am not stupid. I don’t need Dane ripping my guts out. Just water, straight out the water machine.” He points through to what I’m assuming is a kitchen.
I still don't drink it.
“When were you unbound?” Klaus asks randomly
“Huh?”
He points to his ears. “Kind of a giveaway.”
“Not long ago.” I mumble
“It’s a nightmare, right. More the hearing than anything. It makes you feel like your head is going to explode. Do they help?”
“A little. It’s…it’s still loud.”
“It took me at least a year to get used to it.”
“You were bound?” I couldn't keep the surprise out of my voice.
His head bobs up and down.
“Alpha Dane?” I knew how he felt about my binding, I couldn’t imagine him doing it to anyone.
“Hell no. No, I was born into a different pack. I wasn’t what they wanted. ‘Too smart for my own good.’ That's what they would tell me. When I started school, Dane and Eric were the only ones who didn’t bully me. Dane and Eric stuck up for me and brought me back to this pack. Dane has let me live here ever since.”
Alpha Dane had saved him. He had given him a better life.
“You were bound because you were smart?”
“Stupid right, why were you bound?”
“I…” I wasn’t even sure if Alpha Dane wanted me to tell people. “I was set up for killing my parents.” I tell him, at least I could stay away from the whole first born and monster stuff.

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????...
