Damien
My eyes move to Eric. Dane couldn’t be serious. Especially not now, not with all that is happening.
“Well?” Dane mutters as he puts Evrin down on the floor. I watch him crawl over to his brother, completely oblivious to what’s happening. It must be wonderful to only care about food, sleep, a clean nappy and feeling happy.
“Why?”
“I thought I had already made myself clear.” Dane muses. “I honestly don’t care that you are different.” He points to his boys. “They are different from me, yet they are still mine.”
“Neah?”
“Neah knows.”
"Is she okay with it?"
"She thinks it's a great idea."
“Damien Black.” I mutter to myself
“Suits you perfectly.” Eric smiles
Mallory had always been my family. No one else, just me and her until…. And then it was just me and her again, surrounded by those I had become good friends with.
“You don’t have to decide right..…”
“I will do it. I want to do it.”
Dane holds his hand out to me and shakes mine. “Welcome to the family.”
He sends Eric to go and get Neah and Mallory, so they can be here to witness both the oath and my acceptance into the family.
Mallory loops her arms around me and apologises for snapping at me earlier while Neah makes a joke about putting me on uncle duties.
“First, I need you to formally accept the name.” Dane tells me. “Give me your hand.”
“You know what you are doing?”
“Yes. I had to do it when my stepmother accepted me as her own.” He tells me.
I hold my hand back out and he takes it in his like he was going to shake it again. Eric steps forward with a rope, tying it around both of our wrists but leaves the back of our hands uncovered. He takes out a knife and positions the tip against the back of Dane’s hand. He pushes the tip into Dane’s flesh and starts dragging it towards my hand, splitting his skin open.
“Do you, Damien, relinquish all past ties and accept the Black family name as your own?”
“I do.”
“Do you, Damien Black, accept me, Alpha Dane Black as your brother?”

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?...
