‘Dig deep.’ I tell Indy through our connection. ‘You have to find a fucking way.’
‘I’m not a good Witch. I was never good at it.’
I hear howls in the distance. Possibly below us somewhere.
‘We are going to die.’
‘Is that what you want? You want our insides smeared across the walls? Do you really want to give the bitch the satisfaction?’
‘No. I….’ The walls close in. It wouldn’t be long now and we would be sandwiched on all sides.
Howls grow louder and the walls appear to stop.
“Thalia,” I call out, knowing she couldn’t resist knowing we were close to death.
She doesn’t answer.
“Thalia!”
“Orion said they are trying to buy us time.” Indy whispers.
“Indy, she thinks you are weak. She believes she can just walk all over you and you are letting it happen.”
“I am weak.”
“I don’t believe that. I see a lot of confused souls and yours isn’t one of them. She has made you believe that you can't do this. She took away the one thing that gave you strength. I know I’m not your mate, and we are just Blood Tied, but you can use that. You have to. I’ve watched people get stronger by being connected to someone.”
“While we can still breathe, you need to do something. Concentrate. Search your memory for anything different. Something that happened a long time ago that you have buried deep down inside you.”
I squeeze her hand. “I’m not going anywhere.”
“You are like an annoying brother!” She tuts at me in the darkness.
I hear a muffled screech from below. I had no idea what they were up to. But I’m sure Thalia would make it so she returned to us as soon as possible.
Indy’s breathing slows. “There’s something from when I was younger. It’s not clear. I hated school. Like, really hated it. Witches were singled out. They were expected to be great. Powerful. I wasn’t. One day, the teacher was being a dick and all I kept wishing was for the school to crumble.”
“It did, didn’t it?”
“Bits of the ceiling at first. Then the cracks appeared in the wall from floor to roof. Everyone screamed and ran for cover.” There is a tiny hint of amusement in her tone. “I’ve never told anyone that.”
“They didn’t suspect it was you?”

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?...
