Madison is hundreds of miles from me, but it was not an option to stop and think about her. Not when she was being kept safe.
Indy is a confident Wolf, but even confident Wolves can get backed into a corner where they see no way out. They eventually give in to defeat. But this was not defeat, not yet. Not until that Witch is dead.
Turning around, I find Klaus still looking out the window. The white Wolf stands on his hind legs, his front feet propped up on the windowsill right next to Klaus.
“Anything?” I press. The wolf gives me a condescending side glance.
Klaus shakes his head at me. “There are less and less people passing by. Indy is right. Now is the time. ”
“You really want to do this?” In the past he had never been one to jump head over heels into an attack.
He briefly frowns and turns to Indy “Tell me everything you know.”
“There isn’t much else. I told you, it was made to look like she didn’t exist. I think we are the only ones who remember her. If she is anywhere, it will be the dungeons, I’m sure of it.”
“Did she try to overthrow Serkan?” I ask, remembering what Silas had told us,
“I don’t know. If she did, I don’t know anything about that. I do know that Amelia hasn’t always been crazy.” Indy tuts. “Maybe, a little longer than when everyone else started acting weird. When I was little, she would always walk Silas around and play games with the other children.” She looks at Orion and shrugs her shoulders. “He thinks maybe it started just before everyone else was affected, but he can’t be sure.”
“There is only one way to find out. Where is that potion?”
Orion passes me the small vial of blue liquid. Carefully untwisting the lid. I drop a tiny spot on my tongue and pass it to Klaus. He repeats the process and then gives Xavi an extra drop. Orion and Indy do the same.
Pulling the door open, music fills the courtyard. No one of any kind could be seen though I did wonder how the others were not being influenced by the sounds. A question for another time.
The sun had already set and stars dotted the sky. Somewhere, the laughter of many could be heard. The smell of food wafted around us and still the dead didn’t smell.
I step forward as Indy starts making ‘pss pss’ noises behind me. She hands me a jacket. “It’s obvious if you are walking around in just shorts.” She tuts
The others follow her out of the house and she heads in a different direction to the smell of food. She takes us along the wall that separates us from the outside world. Indy is quick. Her feet move without making any noise. Impressive when we are sneaking across gravel.
She pauses in her tracks, looking in all directions and races across the grounds and into a dark shadow.
“You’re up.” Klaus mutters to 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?...
