“How do you feel about that?” She wouldn’t be the first to be marked against her will.
Mallory shrugs her shoulders. “We are working on it. Anyway, I know I have no place to say this. Can you just hold off from killing Jenson for a little while, just let me puzzle things together first. If I can’t come up with anything, then you can do what you want.”
“You are right, you don’t.” Truthfully, I didn’t want to kill him either. “Forty Eight Hours Mallory.”
Forty eight hours.” She repeats and turns to the door.
“Say hello to Eric for me.”
She spins around wide eyed, staring at me. “I didn’t say anything.”
“You don’t need to, Mallory. He was supposed to be in the party to rescue you. Turns out he had already left the pack. I’m just grateful he wasn’t out buying more alcohol.”
“I said I wouldn’t say anything.” She splutters
“And you haven’t. Just answer me this, is he still drinking?”
She shakes her head at me.
“Good. Forty eight hours.” I mutter and she hurries from the office.
I sigh, spinning my chair until I’m facing the window. How had it come to this with Jenson? My father would be livid if he was here. I felt this overwhelming sense of failure when it came to my brother. Like I had failed him and my parents.
Jenson and Raven had been raised in exactly the same way. When they were children, they had rules to follow, just like everyone else. Where Raven stuck to the rules, he never did. Time and time again he would cause problems. This time, this time he had really fucked up and he might have just cost me my family.
Neah slips into my office. Her scent quickly replaced the others. She’s quiet too. Waiting for me or maybe it was because she could feel my anger.
“You were listening?”
“I was sat on the stairs. Damien and Raven are arguing. Mallory has just run out the door, I don’t think she even realised I was there.” She pauses and even her heartbeat is quiet. “Forty eight hours isn’t that long, Dane. You gave me longer.”

Just loving how you keep trying to block me swnovels...
Hi Taylor, I found your book by accident. I really enjoy your writing, but I must admit that there’s a little more sex than I am use to, most likely because of my age 😁. I was wondering if you have released them in ebook ? I have read some of your notes to your readers and I know that you have written other books but I can’t find them in ebook format. I live in Sweden and have enjoyed reading this story as the dark nights get longer and longer. I am looking forward to re-joining Dane and Neah’s story. Thank you for sharing your marvelous talent.

Why are you ignoring the DMCA the author sent?...
I'm so glad it's being posted here, I don't have the income to pay 250 in order to unlock all the chapters. However, whenever the physical book comes out, I'll be the first to buy them. I love the story, love the way it is written (typos and all) I just cannot pay all of that money, the app is ridiculously predatory....
book 2: Bonds that bind us...
I don’t see the name of the new book. Could you please resend it?...
