Damien
“Daddy?” Dottie had dropped her spoon in her cereal bowl and was staring at me with wide bright green eyes and a stuck out bottom lip.
“You should finish your breakfast. You have a big day today.”
She screws up her nose. “I can’t eat.”
“And why is that?”
“You’re sad.” She mutters with a tiny frown “And if I go to school, I can’t keep an eye on you.”
“Is that right?”
“Uh huh!”
“Well, I have a lot to do today so you don’t need to worry about me. I’m taking the oath later to officially be part of Black Shadow. And it’s important that you start school.”
“Why?”
“Because you are a clever little girl. Besides, school is here in Black Shadow so I won’t be far and you get to hang out with kids your own age.”
“If I’m clever, I don’t need to go to school. Neah didn’t and she is an Alpha!” She pouts at me and hugs herself
I sigh, Dottie had an answer for everything these days.
“But I wish I had got to go to school.” Neah mutters as she makes her way into the kitchen with her boys toddling along next to her. It’s not as fun learning to read and write when you are an adult.”
Dottie hikes her shoulders up around her ears. “Fine, I will go!”
We had been making plans for this for about a week. A lot of the Lycans had brought young kids, pulling them from schools to be here. They were worried that their children would fall behind so Dane had agreed to set up a small school. And I think now, Dottie’s nerves were settling in.
She turns to Neah, “Will you look after Daddy? He’s sad.”
Neah’s blue eyes flash in my direction as she settles Logan into a high chair. “Sure.”
I wish Dottie would stop telling everyone I was sad. Raven was dead, that was the end of it.
“Do you think my other Daddy will come with us and walk me to school?”
“I can ask, but you need to finish your breakfast. I know you Dottie. You will be hungry again in ten minutes.”
She gives me a guilty smile and starts shovelling cereal into her mouth.
Dottie holds my hand with a tight grip as we walk across the grounds to the small building that had been turned into a school. She was more jittery than usual. Her eyes darted all over the place. Probably because Brax hadn’t turned up like he said he was going too.

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?...
I think it very cool that you have trigger warnings!...
Stolen the latest chapter even though it refers to you. What a surprise!!!...
