Neah
He looks at me in the same way that Dane does. One that says he can see deeper than what’s on the surface. A look full of curiosity and intent. It’s unsettling, I didn't want anyone but Dane to look at me that way.
“Thank you for the invitation. But I won’t be coming with you. I may share a surname and blood with Serkan, but that is all. He isn’t my family. He could have had a chance and he didn’t bother. You can tell him that.”
“He likely won’t take it very well.” Silas tells me
“I’m not taking it well.” I snap. “You told us that the people of White Cliffs need someone to follow. Not that they want to, that they need it or all hell breaks out. Serkan is only interested now that I’ve developed my abilities and because he is old. Where was his interest five years, ten years, twenty years ago? Oh right, he wasn’t ready.”
Maybe I was being a little irrational. Maybe my hormones were making me extra snappy. But I was not letting this grandfather that I have never met try to dictate what or where I should be in life. I had figured it out so far and he was not the one who helped me.”
“He has his reasons.” Silas tells me
“And I have mine. You said it was an invitation. I am rejecting it.”
I grab my damp clothes and head towards the door. I could tell by Danes' footsteps that he was right behind me.
Silas doesn’t follow us as we make our way back to the car. Launching my damp clothes into the back seat, I pull the fluffy robe around me tightly and sink into the front passenger seat.
Dane rests an arm on my open door. “I’m not changing my mind.” I frown
“Okay.”
“I will tell the boys what I know and when only they are old enough. Then, if they want to, they can explore it. Right now, I refuse to be forced into something because of someone else's expectations and desires.”
“That’s fair.”
“You're not going to tell me I should take him up on his offer?” I knew he wanted me to find out more for the boys. Particularly Evrin.
“You know I have wanted you to consider it. You have, I won't push it anymore and at least then you won't be anywhere near Silas.” His eyes burn into mine. “I saw the way he looked at you. He is lucky he still has a set of eyes.”
“I will never belong to anyone else.” I mutter

Just loving how you keep trying to block me swnovels...
Hi Taylor, I found your book by accident. I really enjoy your writing, but I must admit that there’s a little more sex than I am use to, most likely because of my age 😁. I was wondering if you have released them in ebook ? I have read some of your notes to your readers and I know that you have written other books but I can’t find them in ebook format. I live in Sweden and have enjoyed reading this story as the dark nights get longer and longer. I am looking forward to re-joining Dane and Neah’s story. Thank you for sharing your marvelous talent.

Why are you ignoring the DMCA the author sent?...
I'm so glad it's being posted here, I don't have the income to pay 250 in order to unlock all the chapters. However, whenever the physical book comes out, I'll be the first to buy them. I love the story, love the way it is written (typos and all) I just cannot pay all of that money, the app is ridiculously predatory....
book 2: Bonds that bind us...
