Internally I scream, unlike with the boys, it felt as though these girls were trying to claw their way out of me.
Something inside me splits and a scream leaves my throat as my eyes fly open. Damien stares at me in shock, but he grabs my hand telling me Dane is coming.
“You are in labour.” He tells me.
I didn’t want to believe him but my bump was huge, it had easily doubled in size since I had blacked out.
Tears burn my face as I squeeze Damien’s hand. I hear cracks, but Damien doesn’t make a sound and when I glance at his hand, I see how crushed it is between my fingers, and also how my claws had pierced his hand.
“I’m sorry.” I cry, I didn’t mean for it to happen.
“Keep going!” He tells me as blood drips from his hand to the floor. "I can heal."
The girls come quickly, one after the other with no problems. Dane crashes in through the door, just as both girls are placed in my arms. His crimson eyes move between the girls and me, “You’re awake? I missed it!”
“It seems like labour will bring anyone out of a deep sleep.” Damien mutters, flexing his hand as his fingers realign and the wounds heal. “And now you are here, I will leave you to it.”
He heads towards the door. “Damien, do it now.” I tell him
He looks over his shoulder, then slowly turns to face me. “You heard what I said?”
“Everything.” I offer him a smile. “You won’t be interrupted. I promise”
He nods. “I will come back later to check on my nieces. Stay awake.”
As Damien leaves, Dane leans over me and kisses me on the top of my head. “I’m sorry I wasn’t here.”
“I had the next best thing.”
Looking down at the girls, they are just like Logan and Evrin. One has crimson eyes, the other has blue eyes. They had come along so quickly that we hadn’t even discussed names.
“There’s time for that.” Dane tells me. “Are you okay? It’s so good to be able to listen to your mind again.”
“A little confused, but I’m okay.” I stare at the girls, they were tiny, but I was certain they had been trying to dig their way out of me.
“Mallory said she thinks…”
“I know, I heard. And I think she is right. I’m done Dane. No more. I want to be here for the pups we have. Not die because my insides can't cope.”
“I will link Eric.” He winks at me.
Ten minutes later, amid the discussion of names. Eric and Mallory appear with Luca, Evrin and Logan.
“Up up up!” Evrin demands while holding his arms up. Dane lifts him on the bed followed by Logan.
They sit quietly, staring at the girls, unsure of what to make of them. I was curious to know if there was a sibling bond in place between them already.
Eventually the boys crawl up next to me, trying to get on my lap with the girls.
“Boys, these are your sisters.” Dane tells them. “You must always look after them.”
“Congratulations.” Mallory smiles at us as she turns Luca around to see the twins. “Do you have names?”
“Aderyn has blue eyes.” I smile, “And Willa has crimson eyes.”

Execcelent! Loved it!...
What about 80? I can only go up to 79...
I am clearly coming late to this book …me definitely one of the more well written ones. I feel like Im reading a series though … like I just finished reading two books and now we are off onto another storyline. Getting used to “splutter” instead of “sputter” as a word, and still trying to work out the “Lycan” logic as Blairs explanation doesn’t really make sense given the initial explanation of how Lycans came to be … I do wish these were in physical form. I do love to flip back and forth on pages to reread previous chapters. So much arder on these apps....
I love this book. I wish there were more chapters. I read this all in a week. I know life outside of writing is more important. I will just sit and wait for more to be released. I will support you always Taylor. Thank you for sharing your talents....
Ooh and thanks to the website techs ☺️...
Whether it's pirated or not doesn't really concern me,, when are we getting the final chapters 🥹...
EclecticCelt sounds like your got massive issues because you can't understand something straightforward...
The last this book was updated was December 2024 not 3 years like someone else claimed. It can't be 3 years when the author started the story in Jan 2024. Now the story can be found on Inkitt...
I have a question. I understand this book is pirated with left out parts or adjusted. Is this version here ever going to be finished. I just want to know what happens....
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....
