“I’m not letting you go anywhere.”
She stares at me with her wide chestnut eyes, trying to understand me. I spot the matches nearby with a small aerosol can.
“You started the fire, didn’t you?” I ask as the flames move from one charcoaled tree to the next.
“No.” She mutters, but her answer comes out full of desperation and sadness. As if she was a child being scolded over spilt milk
“Your soul tells me differently. The evidence tells me differently”
She turns from me and starts crawling back towards the fire, dragging herself across the forest floor and ignoring every bit of pain she is feeling.
Pinning her to the ground, I straddle her hips as she lets out a sob.
“Why?” I demand. “Why would you do this to the person that took you in?”
“What do you mean?” Tears trickle over her soot smudged face.
“You’ve burned Mallory’s house down.”
“I didn’t….”
“I’ve seen it. You’ve taken away the home of a pregnant woman.”
“No.” She whimpers. “That wasn’t supposed to happen. It was supposed to be me.”
Her heart races and she squeezes her eyes tight. Her sorrow and her pain weighed heavily on her.
“It wasn’t supposed to get so big.” She pushes against me, but she’s weak and exhausted. The flesh on her arms is already healing. “You should have killed me when you shot Enzo. Please, just do it.” She struggles against me. “Or let me go. It will be easier for you.”
“So you can walk into the fire, never to be seen again? I don’t think so Madison. Not while I feel the fire licking at my skin like it is me that is walking through the flames.”

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?...
