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?”

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?...
