“What an absolute bitch!” I snap to myself in annoyance. How could they come from the same father but be so different.
Damien swings the front door open. He had made sure Neah had returned to Dane before joining me.
“What the fuck was that shit you were playing at?” He demands. “I had to tell Neah that it was my idea for you to be hiding in the fucking trees.”
“Why did you do that?”
“Because everything you do, she finds suspicious. You are just lucky she believe it. Are you trying to get yourself killed now?”
“No, I just… I thought I could help by keeping watch. No one will let me join in on guard duty so I figured I would do it myself and we all know Rogues and Lycans like trees.”
“Why didn’t you just tell me what you were doing?”
“Because you probably would have said no. You seem to have forgotten that I used to watch over the Rogues before you. That I would keep an eye out for anyone driving through the town. And it was a good job I was in the trees. Neither of you saw the gun that was stuck down the back of her stupid leather leggings!”
“A gun?” He meets me with the same surprise as when I saw it.
“Yes! Not the first thing that comes to mind for a weapon used by a Lycan, right, but I know what I saw!”
I hold the pot of coffee up to him and gesture if he wants one. He nods, slowly sitting at the table as he absorbs my words.
“You think she was going to kill Neah?”
“I don’t know. All I know is that the moment she asked to speak to Neah alone, I had to do something. Neah may still hate me, but if I can prevent her death, I will.” I shrug my shoulders. I was tired of trying to prove myself but I will continue to do it as long as I am here and alive.
“I appreciate what you did.”
“But she doesn’t, does she?” I sigh. “I don’t know what else I can do, Damien. If I just sit around, I feel like I’m just waiting for the day that Neah decides enough is enough and she is going to have me killed. If I do something, it’s wrong. If I don’t do anything, it’s wrong. I’ve said it to you many times, but maybe now, now is the time I leave, for good.”
“No.” His answer is blunt. No reasoning to why he said no. Just the one singular word.

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?...
