“And you are lucky.” She folds her arms up and sits on a rock. “Thalia comes and goes as she pleases, just like Serkan. They can cross it no problem, but anyone else. " She shakes her head. "We will meet death unless we have permission. You are the first that has tried to get across and the only one that has been successful. I don't know how, but you are lucky and even luckier that I came out when I did. That river, it speeds up at night. The water becomes your enemy. Going faster and faste until it's a blur. Look if you don't believe me.”
I nod my head glancing at the water, “I see that.”
“Can you help us?” She asks. “Can you help us get away from this place?”
“If you tell me what this place is and how I can get in. I might consider it.”
“Why would you want to get in?” She frowns in confusion. “I mean Thalia is why you are here, right? But you can just leave. Just walk away.” She lowers her hood. “People don’t get to leave here. Silas….this was a chance for him, though he didn’t know it and I am so happy he is alive.”
“I came to get Silas’s son.”
Orion straightens his spine as Indy looks at him, her eyebrows knitting together. “It didn’t break.”
“Are you talking about her spell?” I ask
She nods her head at me. “There is no easy way to say this. Silas doesn’t have a son. He never has.”
I drop the shorts before I finish pulling them on. “What are you talking about?”
She closes her eyes as I roll mine and yank the shorts up.
“What do you mean Silas doesn’t have a son? He has twins, one died.”
“No. It’s a spell. I’ve been trying to break it for a few years. To bring him back. She has made him see things that just aren’t there.”
“Scars?”
She bobs her head.
“A house fire, the death of a child?”
“Yes. All of it.” She looks heartbroken and her soul flickers like mad as she talks about him.
“Shit. She’s not his mate. You are.”
A single tear trickles down her face as she nods and Orion pulls her in for a hug.
“If they were sleeping together, it would have killed you.”
Indy shakes her head, “Serkan didn’t like that Silas and I were fated and wanted it stopped. Everything about his life with her is in his head, none of it is real. She doesn't let him touch her. She just needs him for something. I don’t know what. I do know that he didn’t return after the latest run. I heard rumours that he was going after someone special, but I didn’t know who. The delay in him returning has sent Thalia into overdrive. She is angry. More people are getting hurt each day. I thought if he was away, it would break the spell. He would remember his life with me.”

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...
I don’t see the name of the new book. Could you please resend it?...
