Xavi watches Indy. Absolute hatred in his amber eyes. He seems to be forgetting that she just saved his life. It may be the Blood Tie that is making me feel this way, but I am ready to rip his throat out if he so much as touches a hair on her head.
“She has the upper hand here. We need to get out.” I tell them
I glance at the woman on Orion’s shoulder. Her eyes are closed and a trickle of blood runs across her temple.
“He knocked her out turning a corner,” Klaus tells me. “She is fine or at least she will be.”
We continue to move through the stone corridors and up multiple levels of steps. There is never a window or another door, just more stone walls.
Indy suddenly stops, pressing her hands against a crack. She glances back at me. ‘I can try.’
I nod.
Xavi watches her. A hint of his sharp teeth on show. I block his path, glaring at him. He could try, but he will never succeed.
“Pack it in, the both of you. We just need to get out of this place!” Klaus snaps
The crack in the wall grows until the early morning light breaks through.
Pieces of the stone fall away, crashing down to the ground below, leaving a massive hole for all of us to look out.
We were at least four floors up, maybe even five. Below, the people of the pack stare up at us. Still and silent. Thalia moves between them, her dress dragging along the ground behind her, probably whispering some spell to them.
“How did she get outside so quickly?” Indy whispers
“She knows this place like the back of her hand,” Klaus mutters. “Secret doors, probably secret rooms. She wants to keep us here. Trap us forever.”
I lean out, it is a sheer drop and the chances of survival jumping from this height are unlikely.
“I don’t know Orion!” Indy snaps at him. “It’s new to me too!”
“This is not helping. We need to find a way out.” Klaus sighs
“And without all the fucking zombified assholes coming after us. I’m happy to kill, but even I can see we are well and truly outnumbered.”

OMG! This is stolen and the person who has uploaded it doesn't have the authors permission! It's disgusting tou can steal someone's hard earned work! Please come find the true author on FB Taylor west pack and this one will never be finished....
I love this book! It was a sample read for an advertised app that you must pay to keep reading. I wasn't willing to pay for each chapter, so I searched and found this site. Something I'd like to see more of is time passing. We had a little during Neah’s pregnancy, and there was a recent mention that Neah had been in the pack for two years; I didn't know that much time had passed. Until I heard it had been two years, I thought all the events were happening back to back. That's why it would be nice to have a sense of the passage of time—just a thought....
Is there an update when the next chapter will be available?...
