I call for the bill and the waiter that had tried to convince Neah to get some wine hurries over. His cheeks are already the colour of beetroot. He could barely look us in the eye. Neah presses her lips into a thin line but I see her shoulders jigging up and down as she tries not to laugh.
As we walk to the car, Neah links her arm with mine, almost pestering me like a small child, asking me where we are going.
“You will see.”
I drive for another hour or so down to the coast. It had been a long time since I had been here. I used to take Jenson and Raven all the time when they were little, but as they grew up, the trip became just for me. A place where I could clear my head. A place of peace as I listened to the sea crash along the sand before it dragged itself out again.
It had been almost four years since I had been here.
Neah is silent as the car comes to a stop. She slowly unclips her seatbelt and leans forward on the dash, smiling at the waves.
“The beach.” She whispers
“I haven’t been here for a while, but I thought you might appreciate it as much as I do.”
“I’ve never been.” She starts pulling off the trainers. Excitement flooding through her and a strange pang of happiness hits my heart.
She gets out of the car before I have a chance to say anything and runs down onto the sand.
For a moment, she just stands there. Wiggling her toes in the soft sand as she stares up at the crescent and stars that light up the night sky.
Looking back at me, she smiles and stretches out her hand in my direction. “Coming?”

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?...
