I drop onto the sofa. All three kids were having their naps at the same time. It was some kind of miracle. And I am exhausted. Maybe I could have a nap too.
I close my eyes and a weird sound comes from upstairs. It wasn’t a cry but more like a gurgled groan/ growl. Apart from the boys, I was the only one in the house. Eric had gone to deal with a problem.
Creeping upstairs, I check my bedroom and then Luca’s bedroom where the twins were also set up. Luca and Logan are fast asleep, but sat in the corner of Evrin’s travel cot was a small Lycan, staring back at me with bright blue eyes.
Neah had warned me. But even with the warning it was a still a surprise. I had never seen a Lycan so small.
“Your mummy did warn me.” I mutter as I lean over to grab his ripped vest and nappy from the cot. “What are we going to do with you?”
He stares up at me and very slowly, his eyes close as he shuffles down onto the mattress. He may be able to shift but he was going through what every new Lycan did, extreme fatigue from shifting.
I slip out and leave the door open a little and head downstairs. On autopilot, I make myself a cup of tea and take it out to the front of the house to sit on the small porch. It was so much better than the stones that made up the porch of my last house.
Taking a sip, I see Blair and Ryken marching across the grounds and it looks as if they are heading directly for me. No, they are definitely moving towards me.
“Is the Beta about?” Ryken asks
“Eric or Damien?”
“Either.”
I glance at Blair, her eyes are low and her hands are in the pockets of her hoodie. “Damien is doing some work with Dane. Eric is dealing with a situation at the packhouse. Can I help?”
Ryken glances at Blair. “Can you watch her for me?”
“I don’t think that’s a good idea.” Mostly because I wanted her dead, but also because I had three kids in the house. Two of which are not mine.
“It shouldn’t take more than ten minutes.” Ryken mutters. “I just need to speak to someone with a title.”
“Is this about her?” I gesture to Blair.
“Yes, but it’s not what you think. She’s done the right thing this time.” Her brown eyes briefly flicker up. Almost surprised by Ryken’s acknowledgement.

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?...
