Damien
Her body falls back against the wall. Blood spurts from my mate's collarbone. I had purposely shot her there rather than her heart. Her body could heal from that. Her body couldn’t heal if I killed her.
I wanted to know if Raven was really gone.
Abraxas stares at me as he checks for the gun that he carries in his belt. He frowns when he realises the gun I am holding is not his and that his is firmly stored away in its resting place. He frowns at me but keeps his mouth shut.
I wasn’t stupid. I knew how to use a gun correctly. I used them when I was human and with a Hunter in the pack, I figured it would be better to carry one again. Though sometimes, I'm a little impressed with myself that I hadn't pulled it on him yet.
“You shot me!” Roars Raven or maybe it was Jenson. I didn’t know anymore.
I could see my mate, but at the same time the words coming from her mouth sounded nothing like her.
It didn’t seem possible that Neah could be right. That a soul could take the place of someone else, but then again, there was a time in my life when I didn’t believe Wolves existed and definitely not Lycans.
And now I was prepared to kill the person who looked like my mate.
I honestly thought I would never use a gun again.
I keep the gun steady as Raven clutches her collarbone and slips down the wall, leaving a smear of blood. I wasn’t sure if I could go through with killing my mate, even if it wasn’t her anymore, but I could slow her down.
“Damien.” Dane glares at me. “What the fuck do you think you are doing?” His hand rests on the gun, but I refuse to let go.
I stare back at him. “She’s become a threat whether you like it or not.”
A laugh erupts from Raven. A laugh that didn’t sound like her as her body straightened up. “You will have to do better than that, Lycan!”
“Give me the gun, Damien.”
“No.” My finger moves on the trigger and Dane let's go and steps in front of his sibling. “You can’t kill her Damien. She is your mate.”
“I can put her in the dungeon.” Dane tells him
“You will still be too late.”
I stare at my mate as Dane continues to come up with possible ideas. Why had Raven let this happen? Why had she given up? Why hadn’t she fought for her place in this life?
‘Please come back to me Raven.’ I try linking her, hoping to hear her voice. Her face stares at me and a slow smile creeps across her lips.
“She can’t hear you anymore. She’s resting now!” I wanted to slam my hand into his face. But I wouldn’t be hitting him, I would be hitting her body.
I look over at Abraxas as it feels like my heart stops. “She isn’t in there anymore, is she?”
He turns to face Raven’s body and looks her up and down. “No.”

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....
