But his scent was strong. He was nearby. Jenson had said something about the Rogue using trees.
I look up but can’t see anything.
“Why don’t you come out to play?” I call out into the silence of the woods. “Or is the little beasty afraid?”
I keep my hands free. Wielding a knife right now would only make him less likely to appear. I had to get my timings perfect.
“I know what you are. And you know what I am.” I call out again. “So why waste my time with these games.”
I feel his presence hovering above me, but I don’t look up. He clearly wants to give me the element of surprise, so I will play him at his own game.
Stepping forwards, l keep my eyes in front of me. He is trying to understand me, they always did. After all, I had climbed the fence and traipsed through the fields in my beautiful Louboutins. A price I had to pay to wear beautiful shoes and to kill my targets.
The rustling above me is a purposeful move. He had worked at concealing himself for a long time. He wanted me to look up, just as he jumped down on me. Instead I move further into the woods which is followed by a grunt of annoyance.
He may be able to lure others to their death, but two could play at that game.
“Talk.” I snap. “I know you can.”
“Why are you following me?” He growls from up the tree as I check my nails.
“You are causing me problems that I don’t need.”
“You are causing me problems by following me.” He growls
I roll my eyes. “Are you going to come down here so that I can kill you?”
He laughs, a throaty garbled sound that sounds more like he is choking on something. “You look like her, but you don’t smell like her.” He drops directly in front of me. His beast towers over me, bloody drool hanging from its sharp teeth. “You smell weak and you smell delicious.”
He slowly drags a tongue over his sharp teeth.

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?...
