Blair
I lay on the small single bed that was now mine. It was a welcome relief to my spine after spending what seems like forever sleeping on a solid stone floor. Someone had even piled some blankets up at the end with a change of clothes. I’m assuming mum as it was already here when Ryken brought me here.
I could hear my brothers running around upstairs. Their footsteps pounding the floor . Mum yells at them to quieten down before they wake Braelyn.
It was odd, I never thought I would find comfort in the sounds of my family. I had always preferred silence until Cooper forced me into it. Now every silence was uncomfortable. Every silence means a punishment is on its way.
Closing my eyes, a smile appears on my face. I was still alive. Still breathing. Maybe I could find a way to keep it that way. Maybe I just do everything that they ask me too and they will forget about punishing me.
I hear the handle on my door turn and my eyes shoot open. One of my brothers is standing on the stairs, staring at me. I’m not even sure which one. They both had blonde ringlets framing their eyes.
“You look like a boy.” He spits out in disgust. I assume he is the slightly older one, Kade. The one Ryken had mentioned when he came to the office. The one he was having a meeting about some time this morning. I was starting to understand why there were problems with him.
My hands automatically go to my hair. His brown eyes are wide as he stares at me. His lips turn up at the corners. Proud of himself because he thought he had upset me.
“It’s what happens when you are naughty.” I tell him.
“Then you shouldn’t have gotten caught.” He runs back up the steps and slams the door. His feet move quickly across the floor which is then followed by mutterings with mum. Though I couldn’t make out what any of it was.
Minutes later, my door opens again. I stay sitting on the bed, watching my mother slowly descend the stairs. Her hair had been scraped back in a bun, a few white hairs were making their presence known amongst the jet black. A deep green dress clung to her frame. For someone who has had four children, you wouldn’t think so to look at her. Her body was in better condition than mine. Just the soft wrinkles forming on her face gave her age away.
“What did you say to Kade?” She asks softly

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?...
