‘Mentioned it like a warning?’
I nod
‘Most likely has a spell on it. We won’t know until we are up there.’ He heads in the direction of the path that will take us up to the top.
There was nothing to hide us from sight. Everything was open but Xavi continued anyway. The sounds of the water grow and it’s not long before I see the water coming from another larger cliff, opening up and blocking the castle and its walls from us.
Familiar clothes are abandoned on this side, but there is no sign of Brax anywhere.
Xavi doesn’t mention the clothes and moves closer to the river. He places a foot into the fast flowing river and quickly removes it.
‘It’s been a long time since I have seen anything like this.’
“Like what?” I ask as I study the walls. No one seemed to be watching us.
‘It’s a deterrent. No one can cross it. Actually, that is not entirely true.’ He moves along the river, putting his feet in at random intervals. ‘We just need to know the exact point that she crossed it.’
Xavi takes a step forward, and appears to be standing on top of the water.
‘I’m not sure what kind of spell this is,’ he moves forward carefully, ‘but I bet she wasn’t expecting Witch Hunters.’
“How are you doing that?” I demand
‘I’m not, it’s the same way as we can see that dark magic has been used. It leaves a trace. Faint, but still a trace, the others are unable to see it. Follow me foot for foot.’
As my foot hits the water a flash of light circles my boot and it’s only now that I can see the same around Xavi’s feet.
Our feet hit dry land and as I turn back to the river, I watch it flow over the edge, the water hitting the rocks below.
“How the hell did you do that?!”
I turn to see a woman with a hood pulled up over her head, golden eyes peeking out from underneath.

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?...
