“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

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?...
