“I know, it’s just….”
“Dark memories?”
She nods her head. “If Dane had never come to that house, I could be in a whole different situation right now. Or maybe even dead. I would never have gained my Lycan. I probably would have died never knowing who I really was. And it’s not just Trey, Cassandra or even Kyle or the others. It’s where I watched my parents die. Something I was framed for.”
Her blue eyes lock on to mine. “How is it that one word can take you right back there?”
“It’s the way our brains are wired. But you survived, Neah. You became something that they never got a chance to see. You have several hundred Lycans here that will follow you into battle if needed and you wouldn’t even need to order them. They would do it freely.”
“Thanks Damien.” She gives me a small smile.
“You don’t have to fear the past, Neah. Everyone from that time is dead. You won. This trip is purely about getting answers.”
She nods her head. “Then I better go and pack a few things and make sure the boys are ready for Mallory.”
“Not Athena and Sebastian?”
“No. They haven’t had to deal with Evrin shifting yet. And I'm not sure they are ready for that."
*****
Dane drives while Klaus sits in the passenger seat telling Dane about how and why Brax thinks he is a Witch Hunter. I roll my eyes because Brax seems to be getting more and more things wrong lately and I wouldn’t trust a single word that comes out of his mouth.
“That doesn’t make sense.” Dane mutters
I glance over at Neah while listening to the conversation. She’s asleep with her arm tucked up behind her head to create a makeshift pillow.
“She’s nervous.” Dane mutters. “Sleeping will give her a break.”
“She told me it was the memories.” I reply
“You knew what Cassandra was like. If I had it my way, I would have seen her head on a spike for the life she forced my mate to live.”

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?...
