Dane is scowling and I have a headache brewing.
“It makes you nervous?” Dane mutters
“Of course it does.”
I raise an eyebrow at Klaus. He was tall and wide like most of the men here. Though he wasn’t like the others. Preferring to be shut away reading and researching. I don’t think I’ve even seen him training with the others.
There was a moment where I questioned Dane about Klaus really being a Wolf. He reassured me that Klaus went on every pack run and had done so since he had been in Black Shadow.
“You were bullied.” I mumble remembering what I had been told. “You never knew when something was coming and that's why this is making you nervous.”
His deep green eyes lock with mine. I knew my words rang true.
“I like you, Neah. I don’t want to see anything bad happen to you.”
‘Tell him it won’t.’ Nyx murmurs
I repeat her words and Klaus sighs, like he doesn’t believe it. His green eyes slowly move up to Dane. “What do you want me to do?”
****
The news of me accepting my position travels thick and fast. Dane was inundated with questions and spent most of the afternoon and late evening in talks with his pack.
He had pulled them back from the forest, insisting everyone gets a decent amount of rest and to fuel up while they can.
We didn’t know when they would attack, we just knew they would. So Dane was telling them to sleep while they could. Though he was expecting a long night.
It was almost midnight when I’m pulled from my sleep. Panic tears through me, this was it, this was happening.
“Jensons awake.” Dane mutters to me. He flicks on the light, almost blinding my tired eyes. “He wants to speak with you.”
“I thought we were being attacked." My hand is pressed to my chest
“Come!” Dane grabs my hands, pulling me up into a seated position. He is already moving to the closet to pull out clothes for me.
“You are not fully healed yet!” Raven snaps at him as we enter the hospital. “Besides, you wanted to see Neah and she is here.”
As soon as I step into his room, Jenson’s dark eyes lock with mine. He doesn’t speak. Had they told him? Did he know that I had accepted my position?
‘He knows.’ Nyx mutters
Seconds pass where no one speaks and yet it feels like hours. His dark eyes remain on me as if he was trying to figure something out.
“What are you thinking?” Dane asks him.
“It depends. How close are you willing to let them get?”
The idea of me being bait was changing. I knew it was me he was talking about. It's what they were after.
Dane searches my face before returning his gaze to his brother. “If they get close enough to touch her, you better be prepared for the aftermath.”
There was that warning tone again. Low but spiked full of danger. A personal warning to Jenson that if his plan fails, Dane will kill him. It almost scared me about how far he was willing to go to protect me. Almost.

Execcelent! Loved it!...
What about 80? I can only go up to 79...
I am clearly coming late to this book …me definitely one of the more well written ones. I feel like Im reading a series though … like I just finished reading two books and now we are off onto another storyline. Getting used to “splutter” instead of “sputter” as a word, and still trying to work out the “Lycan” logic as Blairs explanation doesn’t really make sense given the initial explanation of how Lycans came to be … I do wish these were in physical form. I do love to flip back and forth on pages to reread previous chapters. So much arder on these apps....
I love this book. I wish there were more chapters. I read this all in a week. I know life outside of writing is more important. I will just sit and wait for more to be released. I will support you always Taylor. Thank you for sharing your talents....
Ooh and thanks to the website techs ☺️...
Whether it's pirated or not doesn't really concern me,, when are we getting the final chapters 🥹...
EclecticCelt sounds like your got massive issues because you can't understand something straightforward...
The last this book was updated was December 2024 not 3 years like someone else claimed. It can't be 3 years when the author started the story in Jan 2024. Now the story can be found on Inkitt...
I have a question. I understand this book is pirated with left out parts or adjusted. Is this version here ever going to be finished. I just want to know what happens....
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....
