Abraxas
My eyes trail over the wound on Madisons face. Klaus had done a good job stitching her up, Making it as neat as possible but it was like he said, she would have a scar, a permanent reminder of what happened.
She couldn’t heal anymore, everything could hurt her.
Her breaths are slow and steady. Ugly purple bruises litter her pale skin and her soul develops cracks as I watch.
I couldn’t feel a connection to her anymore. I couldn’t scent her as my mate and yet I find myself unable to leave her.
Though I should go and shoot those bastards at the gate. Neither of them had seen her. Had she called out for help? Had they seen her and just ignored her? Did they watch her drop to the ground and turn a blind eye?
Stepping out of the room, I find Damien waiting. “How is she?”
“What do you think?”
He studies me. “Is she awake?”
“No. Where’s Dane?”
“Gone to do some investigating.”
“Then I should go too.” I glance back at the room and start moving forward. Damien’s hand hits me square in the chest.
“No, you should stay here with her. I expect she will want to see you when she wakes up.”
“I never claimed her.” I tell him. “I can’t scent her anymore.”
“So you are going to walk away?” He challenges me, "Just like that?"
Madison and I should never have been paired. I’m a Hunter, she’s a Lycan. Was a Lycan. It should never have worked and yet I could not get her out of my head. I had met up with her every single day since she started the fire. At first, it was just to keep an eye on her and to make sure she didn’t do anything else. Then the more I got to know her, the harder it was to stay away and I couldn’t keep my hands off of her.
It was wrong, yet I couldn’t stop.
“Well?” Damien asks
“This is new for me.” I mutter. Making decisions had always been easy for me until it came to her. I had wanted to protect her even though our bond was wrong. I still want to protect her, but I could also just as easily walk away.

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?...
