“She didn't say and I'm not waking her until she is ready. Samara escaped. Neah thinks Blair was purposely released. It’s possible Cooper wanted her to come back here so she could show us what he is capable of.” I look over my shoulder at him. “I will make him suffer. I will rip him to shreds.”
“I don’t doubt it.”
Silence settles between us.
“You don’t have to blame me." I mutter after several minutes, "I already blame myself. She is my mate and I didn’t protect her. I failed because I couldn’t decide whether I wanted to mark her. I couldn’t decide if I should just accept her. She is the first person to truly make me question my thoughts. Do you know what that’s like?”
“Not the questioning, but I failed Raven.” He takes the seat by the door. “I couldn’t keep her safe from her own mind or her twin. I didn’t see what was right in front of me.”
“You haven’t spoken about her since the incident.”
“Because I haven’t been able to.” He sighs and leans back while shaking his head. “Every single person in that packhouse loved her. Her brother was there, her friend, her nephews, Dottie.”
“Exactly! People who loved her. People that are waiting for you to talk about her.”
“None of them understand losing a mate. None of them understand how close I came to killing my own mate, not really.”
I nod and look at Madison. I had considered putting a bullet in her brain when she first arrived, but I never could bring myself to do it. Just like Damien only managed to shoot her in the collarbone rather than her head.
“That’s why Neah shot her right, so you wouldn’t have to kill your own mate.”
“Yes.”
“And it wasn’t Raven in the end.”
“It still looked like her.” He frowns, “I’ve killed a lot of people. When I was Human and when I turned. But watching her die has been the hardest thing I have dealt with.”
“Losing a mate isn’t the same as losing others to death. And you know, Damien. You know deep down that it wasn’t her.”
“Why didn’t I see that she had given up?” He asks me

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?...
