Mallory
“There you are” I beam at Damien as I enter the packhouse. He was making his way down the stairs, but he had an air of confusion surrounding him. “You good?”
“She did it.”
“Huh?”
“She has control. She shifted.”
“Seriously?” I feel myself grinning from ear to ear. “That’s awesome, we have been waiting for this for so long. How did she do it?” I stare at him expectantly, waiting for the amazing news.
“Neah’s different.” He mutters. “She’s bonded with her Lycan.” His eyes settle on mine, “Which is good, right?”
“Of course it is. What’s wrong with you? Why wouldn't it be good?”
Damien smiles at me, “Nothing. I guess, on some levels, I never thought it would happen. She’s been battling her darkness for a long time. So long that I thought it would eventually win. The darkness has always won before.”
“You’re wrong. You and I are living proof that it doesn't always win.”
He nods, “You’re right. I’m just overthinking it.” He looks over his shoulder up the stairs. “And she seems happy. They both do.” His eyes return to me. “You were looking for me?”
“I need your help.”
He follows me to my house and I point to the table. He sighs and steps up to it. His eyes scan over the items.
“Are these…”
“Yes!”
“And they…”
“Yes!” I snap
“And I’m the first person you are telling.”
“Where is she?”
“Sleeping, finally.”
“Maybe a good amount of sleep will help her see more clearly.”
“Here’s hoping.” He mutters and his dark eyes move up to the clock. “I have to go and check on the Lycans.” He points to the tests. “You need to tell him Mallory, because you know who will work it out and blab his big mouth to everyone. And I'm sure Eric would rather hear it from you.”
I watch him leave and let out my own heavy sigh. He was right. Abraxas was the last one that I needed telling everyone.
I thought I would get used to Abraxas after all this time, but knowing that he is mated to Maddie and not doing anything about it, made me so angry that I wanted to smack him in the face. Repeatedly
It made it a hundred times worse that only Neah and I knew the truth. Maddie didn’t want us to say anything, she thought the other Lycans would turn against her if they knew the turht. Neah had suggested leaving the pack, but Maddie insisted that it was the first place she had felt safe.
I grab a cup of tea and take it out to the porch. Before I even have a chance to sit down, Abraxas is making his way towards me. He stops a few metres away from me. “Have you seen Klaus?”
“Not since earlier.” He nods and turns away from me. “He isn’t like you.”

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....
