“And he stopped you because he is trying to protect you. I still don’t understand the purpose of her visit.” Raven scrunches up her face. “She came alone. She told you she hasn’t seen my brother in months.”
“Dane doesn’t believe that?”
She cocks her brow. “He doesn’t?”
Shaking my head, I sigh, I wasn’t supposed to tell her that. “He is certain he could smell him on her.” Again, I had been too caught up in the ever seeping darkness to take notice of anything but my apparent half sister.
The world could have been imploding around me and I would have been oblivious.
She pauses to let my words sink in and then carries on as though I never mentioned him. “Just turning up to tell you your father allegedly had an affair, I call bullshit. Damien saw her like six months ago. She was in the city. It wouldn’t have been hard to find our location, even if my dipshit brother is helping her. So why has she waited all this time?”
“Your guess is as good as mine.”
*****
Dorothy is playing peek-a-boo with the boys. Their giggles turn into hysterical laughter as she pops up from under their high chairs. She had this amazing way with them and loved to make them laugh. Damien said she had a need to feel wanted. Something I understood too well.
She never talked about what happened to her to anyone other than Damien. If someone walked in when she was mid chatting, she would stop immediately. I was happy that she had a safe person.
There were times where I wondered if I would have turned out like her if I had been saved after my parents death rather than being forced into hell until I met Dane.
“Dottie.” Damien mutters. “Please eat your breakfast.”
“I’m just playing Daddy.”
“You can play as much as you want when you have eaten.”
She continues to pull faces at the twins as she settles on a chair at the table.
“How are you?” Damien asks while putting pancakes on Dorothy’s plate.
I nod, because if I let out how I really feel, I was scared that there would be no coming back.
When breakfast is done, Raven takes the kids to go get cleaned up and dressed for the day.

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?...
