Neah
Groaning as I roll over, I reach for Dane. My eyes flash open as a surge of panic fires up through me when I realise he isn’t here. Sitting up quickly makes my head spin. Grabbing the clock from the bedside table, I knock something on the floor.
Retrieving it, I see that it’s a note from Dane.
I knew where he had gone before I had finished reading it. He wouldn’t have waited for the meeting with Silas. He probably didn’t even come to bed.
The clock tells me it’s almost five in the afternoon. I had slept most of the day away. And judging by the way my muscles ached, I had stayed in the same position.
I scowl at the bed. I don’t even remember coming to bed. I remember getting in the bath, but even that is a little hazy.
‘He probably moved us.’ Nyx yawns. ‘You know he likes to do that.’
Scanning the note again, it tells me to order room service and that he would be back soon. My eyes flash to the pizza box still on the table. I couldn't even remember if I had eaten. Exhaustion does funny things to the brain.
Shuffling out of bed. I make my way into the bathroom to freshen up and dress. I’ve barely finished pulling on the sweatshirt when I hear the door to our room open. It’s accompanied with Danes strong scent. A part of me feels relieved that I didn’t have to wait long for answers.
“Have you eaten?” He calls out
“I’ve only just woken up.” I mutter, walking out the bathroom.
He studies me as though he didn’t quite believe me. “Did you sleep well? Because you were certainly tired.” He smiles.
“It was a long day.”
“I knew you were exhausted the moment you forgot about Logan when you mentioned my eyes.” The corners of his lips curve up
“I did not!” I protest. “I would never. The boys are with Athena and Sebastian. I just…." Why was it so hard to remember? "I was talking about adults." I splutter as it starts coming back to me. "It’s not like Logan is going to wander into a hotel and book a room, is it?” I had been tired on a whole other level. I'm sure I wasn't this bad last time.
He grins at me. "I know." He seemed to enjoy teasing me, especially when I was pregnant because I would always fall for it. Pregnancy hormones are something else.
“How did it go with Silas?” I mutter
“He is in a more complicated situation than I first thought.”
I sink into the nearby chair, pulling my legs up under me as I wait for him to catch me up.

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?...
