Dane
“Stay here.” I tell Neah, pulling on a shirt
“Who is it?” She asks, already climbing out of bed and heading to the closet.
“It doesn’t matter. You need to stay here.”
She carries on pulling on underwear as though I hadn’t said anything. “I was right.” She murmurs. “My gut feeling was right.” She shimmy’s herself into a pair of jeans. “Is it Cooper?”
“No.”
“Who? Maddie. Did something happen? Has she said something?”
“It’s not Maddie. Please will you just stay here until I know more.”
“Our children are not even in the house.”
“Athena and Sebastian won’t let anything happen to them.” I reassure her.
“Do they need to be kept safe? What’s happened? You are not answering my question Dane!” She plants her hands on her hips and stares at me. She was trying to read my mind.
I shake my head because I knew what her reaction would be when she found out who was at the gate.
“It’s Blair.”
She stops what she’s doing to stare at me.
‘Three, two….’ Aero starts counting down, preparing for Neah to snap. Instead, she sinks into the large chair, her soft blue eyes hovering on me.
“Why is she here?”
“I don’t know, but will you please stay here? Just until I know what she wants. Besides, you are supposed to be staying in the house.”
She doesn’t answer me.
“Neah?”
She puffs out her cheeks, “I will stay.”
I grab my jacket and kiss Neah before leaving. Whether she would actually stay put was another thing.
Down at the gate, Damien is staring at Blair while Ryken is asking her questions. The blonde with her was sitting on the ground, leaning against Blair’s legs, half asleep, clutching an old backpack.
“I was expecting Neah.” Blair mutters.
“Well you have me.” I snap. “Why are you here?”
Her brown eyes dance between us as she tries to come up with a response. She tugs her sweatshirt tighter as though it was going to protect her.
“Well?”
“I don’t know.” She looked genuinely unsure. “I could have left. I wanted to leave. I was ready to go. All I had to do was turn right.”
I see Ryken roll his eyes. I’m guessing he has heard a similar story before.
“Then I decided to come here or maybe it wasn’t my choice.”
“Why?”

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?...
