“There are, but we are not close yet.”
“If this were always her planned escape route, she would have killed herself and whoever she took,” Neah murmurs.
I didn’t answer her because that thought had already crossed my mind.
It’s not long before singing fills our ears—bad singing, like a cat being swung around in a sack. Neah drops my hand to cover her ears, wincing at the sound as we head toward the noise.
“Will you be quiet!” Eric yells at Tallen, but it just makes Tallen burst into a chorus of another song.
“Tallen!” Eric roars at her. The forest is quiet for a moment before Tallen starts singing the nursery rhyme ‘The Wheels on the Bus.’ What was wrong with her? She hated nursery rhymes.
“Tallen, what the fuck!” Eric yells. “Stop it. Stop, you are hurting yourself!”
I drop Neah’s hand and run to Eric. A chain is looped around Tallen’s waist, tying her to the trunk of a tree, but her hands are free, and she is digging her nails into her face, splitting the flesh apart and laughing like a maniac at the blood.
“Tallen, stop!” I ordered, but she continued as though the order didn’t affect her.
“I failed. I failed. I failed.” She grins at me as she shreds her cheeks. “I failed. I failed. I failed. Now I die. Now I die. Now I die.”
“Why were you going to take my pup?” I demand.
Tallen smiles and leans forward on the chain, giggling as she foams at the mouth, “A secret surprise.”
She suddenly pops her head up, and all the laughter and songs are long gone. Instead of bright, caring eyes, I see lilac ones full of hatred, just like Klaus described when he told me about Thalia.
“Thalia?” I growl through gritted teeth, praying that Neah would stay back.
Her lilac eyes lock with mine. “This is very much Tallen’s body, but it was so easy to get into her mind, Alpha Dane.”
“Tallen is a Wolf!” I growl. “Not a fucking Witch!”
“Yes, she is a Wolf, isn’t she? But she is a weak one. Though it would seem our bloodlines are connected.” She smiles at me, “Poor little thing. I bet the last thing she expected was me to slip into her mind and become my little puppet.”
“I will kill you.”
“You would be killing Tallen, Alpha Dane, not me, for I am far away, where you cannot reach me. Tell me, how is Silas? I do miss him.”
“He knows the truth.”
“And yet he is uncertain." She smiles smugly as white foam appears at the corners of her mouth.

I recently learned that this story is pirated. To read it legally, go to inkitt.com or the Inkitt app and search for Taylor West. FYI, the Facebook group is highly cliquish, so be warned....
This is stolen and as such, a lot of my story is being left out/adjusted. The true version is on Inkitt...
OMG! This is stolen and the person who has uploaded it doesn't have the authors permission! It's disgusting tou can steal someone's hard earned work! Please come find the true author on FB Taylor west pack and this one will never be finished....
I love this book! It was a sample read for an advertised app that you must pay to keep reading. I wasn't willing to pay for each chapter, so I searched and found this site. Something I'd like to see more of is time passing. We had a little during Neah’s pregnancy, and there was a recent mention that Neah had been in the pack for two years; I didn't know that much time had passed. Until I heard it had been two years, I thought all the events were happening back to back. That's why it would be nice to have a sense of the passage of time—just a thought....
Is there an update when the next chapter will be available?...
