“Amelia?”
She doesn’t acknowledge us.
“Amelia Kitson?”
The rocking stops and she temporarily looks up at us.
“Amelia, we are here to help you.” I tell her.
She shakes her head and pushes herself further back against the wall. Like she is trying to make herself disappear.
‘Didn’t you tell me that everyone got their abilities back after Cooper was killed?’ Xavi asks
‘Yes.’ I stare in through the metal bars at the frail woman
‘So if Cooper did this, the moment he died, she should have had her Lycan back?’
‘Not necessarily. We don’t know what else has been done to her.’ I frown. They could have done anything to her.
Her skin was thin and looked as though it had been pulled tight over her thin frame. The raggy clothes she is wearing are barely staying together. Her hair is matted and her eyes look excessively big for her face, yet at the same time, they are sunken.
Amelia covers her ears. “No, no, no.” She taps her chest, “Amy.”
‘Maybe Amelia is a trigger to her.’ Xavi suggests
I look in through the door and study her. Crazy. That had been the word Indy had used to describe her. She had gone crazy. I hadn’t believed her, though not entirely. Being locked up for years in this tiny hole would probably do that to a person. Even Dane would have killed them rather than letting them suffer for this long.
On the floor of her cell are rat carcasses, a pan with a dribble of water. A bucket lingers in the corner.
“Amy. We know what Thalia is.” I whisper. I point to Xavi, “She cursed him to never be able to shift.” I gesture to Orion, “She cut out his tongue. I know she is helping your father. Your father wants to kill your niece. We want to help you!”
“No father.” She mutters as her hair falls over her face. She rocks side to side. “No father.”
‘What does she mean?’ Xavi asks
“Serkan. Your father…..”
“NO FATHER!”
‘I don’t understand,” Xavi mutters, ‘You said he is.’
‘Neah is her niece. Serkan is Neah’s grandfather. I know. I did her family tree.’ I study her. Why was she saying he is not her father?

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?...
