Neah
“Stop it!” I snap, staring at my belly. The twins were growing fast and had also taken to kicking each other or my bladder and it was driving me nuts.
Dane raises an eyebrow at me with a small smile as Mallory comes running towards us. I sigh, I had forgotten she was taking part in training.
She comes to a stop in front of us. Her eyes narrowed at my belly. “Is it wise for you to be training?”
“I’m not. This is the only way I can get out of the house!” I snap at her and she lowers her gaze.
Years I had spent trapped inside a house because of Cassandra and Trey. Going no further than the back garden to having almost complete freedom. And now, now I would do anything to feel the grass on my bare feet, to lie in the sun without being monitored every second of the day. But until Damien sends news, I wasn’t allowed out of Dane's sight. The fake grass of the training ground will have to do.
I knew it was to protect me and the twins. I knew he was doing it to keep us safe, but all I wanted to do was break away, to not feel so…. trapped.
Dane knew, and he would talk to me in a reassuring tone, reminding me it was only temporary and for the best. Promising me that I could still do most things, as long as he could see me. But to me, doing the best thing meant losing a part of my sanity. If I even had any at this point.
But it wasn’t just about keeping me safe. It was to keep an eye on me, to make sure I don’t become the monster I feared.
“Where do you want me?” Mallory beams at Dane. I really wanted to wipe that smile off of her face. It felt fake and forced. And I bet behind closed doors she has an excellent resting bitch face. Though I was yet to see it, deep down, I could feel it was there.
Was that a Rogue thing? Going for the heart? Surely that was just the obvious choice? But then again they play with their food. The heart wouldn’t be the first thing they went for.
It was just me in the moment. I never thought about my aim. My hand or rather my claws just went straight for it. Except for Roan, I tortured him.
I feel a smile creeping up my face and have to force it away when Dane clears his throat. He is staring at me with his crimson eyes.
“You’ve been listening?” I whisper
“It’s pretty hard not too.” His tone is low and he squats down in front of me. “Mallory told you that you have to stop the dark thoughts seeping in.”

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....
