Neah
‘It’s just like Damien said. They are all dead. We killed them. They can’t hurt you anymore.’ Nyx whispers as we follow Dane through the house.
We stop outside the office door. My heart hammers in my chest and Dane squeezes my hand as he leads me inside. “Not all memories are bad. I met you here.”
My eyes flicker around the room, settling on the bloodstain on the carpet. It was where Kyle had fallen. In typical Cassandra style, it was never cleaned up. That would have been my job.
“Why did you lie?” I whisper
“Lie?”
“You told them that I put you in the office. You lied.”
“I had a suspicion that they were hurting you. Trey proved my point when he went to hit you and then again when they tried putting you in the basement.”
“It seems so long ago and yet…..” I had spent ages in this office, scrubbing it from top to bottom with a toothbrush while Cassandra stood over me, barking orders or yelling at how I had missed a spot. There were so many times that I wished I had the courage to shove the toothbrush through her eye.
‘Well, you went a step further than that.’ Nyx muses
I smile to myself and Dane presses his lips to my cheek.
“You have come a long way since then.” He drops my hand and begins rummaging in the desk. I move to the bookcase. Several dozen large books lined the shelves. Books that I had always longed to read but never could.
Pulling out the one closest to me. I run my fingers over the gold lettering. Just one simple word ‘KITSON’
I shift my eyes to Dane, but he was now busy rummaging through a cabinet, pulling out large amounts of paperwork.
As I sit on one of the chairs, a cloud of dust is thrown up around me. Spluttering, Dane asks me if I’m okay. Nodding, I open the book.
Pages and pages of fancy handwriting in a language that I didn’t understand. ‘What is this?’ I ask Nyx.
‘Looks like Latin.’ She mutters back
‘Latin?’
‘I can’t be certain, can I? I’ve only been with you for a few years!’
Continuing to turn the pages, I stumble on to a family tree. Just like the one Klaus had done for me, only this one had more names and spread over several pages. Next to my mother’s name is the name ‘Amelia Kitson’, with a birth and a death date. Stemming from her is another line that just reads ‘Female, unknown.’ Was that Samara? Because that would make her my cousin.

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?...
