Dane
I walk into silence. Neah looks as though she is on the verge of tears. Though she clutches her stomach as if she is about to vomit again.
“What…what do you mean?” She mumbles to Madame Curie
“Exactly what I said.” Madame Curie’s eyes flicker up to me. “I cannot give you the answers you are looking for. “
“How much?” I offer, knowing exactly how she works.
She shakes her head at me and pauses. “If I took money from you for this, the answers I would be giving you, will be unsatisfactory and unworthy.” She looks back at Neah. “I am sorry that I played a role in your upbringing.”
“Twice!” I snap
“And I wish that I could give you the information you seek.” She sighs
“You said you wanted to take one last look at me, the Lycan Alpha. What does that mean? Am I dying?” Neah demands
“Everyone is.” She smiles sadly
I shake my head in disbelief, I had known Madame Curie for a long time. “Neah, she is talking about herself.”
“You were always the smartest Alpha, Alpha Dane.” Madame Curie winks at me and turns her attention to my mate. “Yes, he is right, Alpha Neah. I have been around for a long long time and my time is coming to an end.”
"Oh."
“What I can tell you is that your boys will thrive. You just have a journey to get there.”
“That’s all you can tell us?” I ask, watching my mate
“That is all the information I have.” She rises to her feet. “Now if you don’t mind, I would like to enjoy the few days that I have left.”
She turns to leave, “Oh, but there is something else. Your mother was just as sick as you are, for Lycans, that is just how it is. Most likely because of the human essence in them. Try some ginger biscuits. Your appetite will soon return.”
Neah didn’t share anything with me, telling me that it was not for her to say. That Jess had asked her to not talk about it and I respected her choice.
“All you can do is be there for her. Be that person that you needed when you were growing up.” I tell her
There’s a knock on the door and Roan doesn’t even wait for an answer. “What the hell did you say to my witch?”
“One: It’s none of your business. Two: You don’t own her. And Three: you are in my house, watch your fucking tone!” I growl
“I called her here to help with whatever this is.” He waves his hand at my mate. “You wanted answers and now, she has walked away without even looking back. What did you say to her? Or did she tell you that we are all fucked?”
“She is dying.” Neah mutters. “She can’t help you anymore.”
“What the fuck are you talking about?”
“If you keep insisting on talking to my mate like that, I will break your fucking neck!” I growl. “Madame Curie is dying. She has days left. She doesn’t give a crap about you ‘owning’ her.”

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....
