Silas
After my talk with Damien, I found myself in my own little bubble, talking to Lyall, trying to understand the possibility that Damien might be right. Each and every time, I feel a pull in my heart that told me he was wrong.
I longed for the woman I loved, the child I loved. I just wanted us to be together again. And if Dane didn’t want her here, that was fine, we could go it alone.
Sitting at the kitchen table, watching. Damien, Samara and his little girl act like one happy family. Damien spins the kid around the room, making her laugh until she cries.
I wanted my happy family. I wanted everything to make sense.
I scratch my head as Dorothy stops to chug some water. She drops into the chair across from me. Bright green eyes stare at me. She carefully slides a muffin across the table. “These always make me feel better.”
“I’m good.”
She shakes her head, “You are sad.”
“I miss my family.” I reply. I didn’t know much about her, but for a young kid she was on the ball.
“Your real family?” She asks curiously
“My only family. Dane is my brother by blood, but we are not a family, not really, we barely know each other. He has chosen his family.”
Her brow wrinkles up and she chews on her bottom lip. “I miss my other Daddy. I’m sad.” She shrugs her shoulders, “I know he is doing a job and that is important.”
When she realises I’m not eating the muffin, she looks over her shoulder as she pulls it back towards her. Carefully pulling off the wrapper she takes a bite. “Maybe you just have to find a way to help. That’s what Daddy has always told me.”
“I don’t know how I can help other than what I have told them.”
“Maybe when the foggy brain is better.” She gazes at me. “Maybe then you won’t be sad. Maybe then you can help.” She grins and little dimples appear in her cheeks
‘Foggy brain?’ Lyall mutters, ‘There is nothing wrong with our brain.’
Music blares out and Dorothy jumps to her feet, abandoning the half eaten muffin. “My favourite song.” She disappears through to the lounge and dances with Samara as Damien takes her place.
“You kid is weird.” I mutter
“No. Dottie is different. And that is all you need to concern yourself with.”
“Brax will bring…”
“My son.”
“You don’t have a son.”
I lean around Damien. Dorothy is standing on her tiptoes, chewing on her bottom lip. Her bright green eyes hovering on me as her fingers wrap themselves up in each other.

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....
