“What are you talking about?” Dane frowns.
I don’t look at him but press a finger against my head. Hoping he understood that I wanted him inside my head to listen to my thought process. If I was right…. I didn’t want to be right.
Raven smiles at me. “I don’t know what you are talking about.”
“Yes you do.”
Dane is staring at me now, like I have lost the plot. But stranger things had happened. And it was common knowledge that Raven and Jenson shared more than just a birthday. Abraxas had said they shared a piece of each other’s souls.
Abraxas also talked about how the darkness seeps in. It finds a spot and grows. What if that is possible between twins who share twin wolves? They did have a piece of each other in them.
“You moved them all in when I wasn’t paying attention.” Raven mutters. She stops struggling against Dane and Abraxas. “You moved more Lycans in when I wasn’t able to do anything to stop them.”
“What’s happening?” Damien asks. “Someone tell me what is happening!”
I watch Dane hold a hand up to him as I carry on questioning the person in front of me.
“Where’s Raven?” I demand and Damien stares at me in utter confusion.
“I knew you were smart Neah, the very first day that I laid eyes on you. You were peering out from around the corner at Moonshine. Barely”
“Raven wasn’t at Moonshine.” Dane mutters.
“No, but Jenson was.” I stare at Raven’s face. She had made me feel at home here before Dane had. Her advice at the time was brutal, but I loved the honesty from her. Now, I didn’t even recognise the person standing in front of me.
How could someone’s soul be taken over by anothers?
My eyes burn as I try to hold back the tears. Was Raven even in there? She must be. Damien is still connected to her.
“How long?” I demand
Her lips curve up but she doesn’t answer. I grab her face. Claws inching out the tip of my fingers. She lets out a growl as they begin to pierce her cheek. “How fucking long?”
“Neah!”
My stomach ties itself up in knots, disgusted by Jenson. I knew he had gone to her because she looked like me. I knew he was trying to get something that wasn’t his, just like he had done with others.
‘I’m going to kill him!’ Nyx growls.
‘No. Not yet.’
I keep my claws locked in place, more blood leaks out as I bring my face in really close. That was the thing about Raven and Jenson, they looked so similar that when you are close enough, you can forget everything but the face right in front of you. I wanted to see him as I say my next line.
“But you will never have the real thing.”
Letting go, I watch the blood spurt from the wounds. They healed quickly as my claws retreated
“Bitch!”
A gun goes off, almost deafening me. As Raven’s body hits the floor, I turn expecting to see Abraxas pointing it at her, but it’s Damien.

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....
