“A brave challenge for you Hunter, if only you hadn’t had any help. It would have made my day to see your body on the rocks at the bottom of the cliff. I guess this way, it is…final.”
The wall moves a little more, pressing into my back. Indy’s grip on me tightens.
“I will ask you again, little girl. Where is that other brat?”
I remove my hand from her mouth and she shouts “I don’t know.”
“Do you think I’m stupid? My magic doesn’t affect you. The music doesn’t affect you. That means you are still able to link him. Where the hell is he?”
Indy always said it was potions. The tunnel beneath her house was concealed with one, the blue liquid to take our scents away. As I stare at her in the darkness, I realise that it is her Witch half that is protecting her from Thalia’s spells, not potions. She could be our chance at getting out of here.
Is that why Xavi had a problem with her? Did he see her potential?
I couldn’t speak to Indy without Thalia hearing.
I had two options, mark her, but then Madison and I could never be together again and it would be the same for Silas and Indy. The other option is a blood tie, but even that can bring on a whole load of shit, we wouldn’t be able to do anything with our mates not until it was broken but at least it could be broken.
I stare at Indy. It was shit that we could deal with later if it meant we got to live.
Tugging Indy to her feet, I pull her in against me, pressing my lips close to her ear and dropping my voice to barely a whisper. “I need you to trust me.”
“We are about to die!” She whispers back
“We have to try. I have a daughter. I have already missed years of her life. I am not missing the rest for this bitch. I have a mate that I need to get back to. And you need to get to Silas.”
“Isn’t this romantic!” Thalia chuckles. "A Hunter and a useless half-breed. Silas is so much better off without you. I’m sure when I tell him what happened, he won’t even be bothered. He hasn’t been interested in you for the last few years. He just sees you as a weak little girl."
I feel Indy tense up. “Your mate, she will die.”
“I haven’t marked her yet,” I whisper. I like Madison but I still hadn’t marked her. I know what she is, and I think that is the one thing that is still holding me back. Generational issues that I was struggling to break from. “A blood tie can be severed.”

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?...
