Neah
He tips my head back and leaves a lingering kiss on my lips. “How is it that you can be so hopeful after everything that has happened in your life?”
“Because it’s not me I’m thinking about.” My hands sit on my small bump, “I know if there is a problem, we can handle it. Because that is what we do. That doesn’t mean I want that for any of our pups.”
“Which is why you are not keen on exploring the White Cliffs topic.” He softly combs his fingers through my curls. “It’s not about you, it’s about the ones who call you mum. You want to protect them.”
He presses his lips against mine once more. The waves that had barely been licking our feet, suddenly crash into me. Dane does everything in his power to hold on to me as we are both knocked over into the water.
He loses his grip on me and the waves drag me out from the beach and away from him. My heart races as panic sets in. I had no idea how to swim.
Just as my face clears the surface to take a breath. Another wave hits me and sucks me down. As I’m pulled beneath the surface, hands find my shoulders. They half drag me, half carry me from the sea and up the beach as I try to spit and cough out all the sea water I had swallowed.
“Are you good?” I look up at Dane. He’s leaning over me, his black hair is wet and stuck down to his forehead. Crimson eyes are etched with concern, but it wasn’t him. That odd accent rings in my ears as he repeats the words. Turning my head, I see Dane a few metres from us, hunched over and spitting up water
It takes a second for my senses to fall back into place as Nyx mutters ‘That’s Silas.’
“Silas?” I splutter at the man standing over me.
“I was waiting patiently by the car.” He points up the beach as if I didn’t know where the car was. “Neither of you were paying attention to the waves. Just because you are capable of healing, it does not mean that the ocean won’t take that power for itself. Many Wolves have been lost to treacherous waters.”
“Were you listening to us?” I frown as I get up.
“No.” He stares at me with as much curiosity as I had about him. “I saw the wave hit you and drag you out. Why didn’t you try to swim?”
“I can’t.” I cough up more water as he raises an eyebrow at me.
“Interesting.”
“Leave her alone.” Dane mutters as he crawls towards me.
“I am keeping my hands to myself.” Silas tells him, holding them up. “Would you rather that I didn’t help? I could have left her to drown, though that would have been unnecessary and would have cost me my life.”
“I want you to explain why you followed us.” Dane snaps
“You think I followed you?” Silas sneers. “I would say it was the other way round. There is a small house just up there, around the curve of the beach. It’s where I have been staying.”

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?...
Love the story how can I get the rest of it...
