I drag Xavi from the water, thanking whoever was listening for our survival. I just hoped the rest would make it out alive.
Xavi's white fur clings to his lean body as he climbs up into the dry cove that doesn’t seem to be affected by the waves. He shakes the water from his fur, spraying me with the salty droplets of the ocean before collapsing as he tries to catch his breath.
I watch the waves behind him. They were changing. Somehow slowing down and no longer acting as if they had a mind of their own.
“Magic?” I murmur, looking for the clouds that were usually left behind, but there was nothing.
The waves almost come to a standstill as a blood-curdling scream fills my ears.
“What the hell?”
I step back into the calm water, looking up at Indy as her body twists and turns in the air.
‘What is she doing?’ Xavi asks.
“Panicking.”
I glance at the rocks slowly disappearing beneath the water rising around us. It was still and calm, almost like it was preparing to break Indy’s fall.
“Is she doing this?” I ask Xavi as he swims towards me.
Xavi just stares as we tread water. ‘I’ve never… I’ve only seen dark magic.’
Her back hits the water, sending up a huge spray. While the water bobs, I swim out to her and drag her into the shallows, pulling her floppy body from the water.
‘Is she alive?’ he asks as I check her airways.
“Yes.” I confirm, “Shock, I think. I have seen something like this before. The body shuts down when it can’t process what happened.”
Two more splashes and Brax and Orion swim towards us.
“Amy?” I ask while Brax checks Indy.
“She fucking pushed her!” There is so much hatred in his tone.
“Thalia?” I ask in confusion. She hadn’t been in the room.
“Amelia!” Brax spits. “Indy somehow calmed the waves, and Amelia lost her shit. Pushed Indy over and called her a Witch.”
Brax lifts Indy and retreats into the cove, followed by Orion. It was fine for now, but we couldn’t stay here forever. We will be trapped when the sea returns to its usual chaos.
“She can control earth and water?” I mutter
“I don’t fucking know!” Brax snaps.
“What do we do? Amy is trapped. We can’t leave her to die.”
“I think she was always supposed to take us to the bedroom,” Brax growls as he brushes Indy’s sodden hair back from her face.
I was about to say something when he shook his head. “Her soul is…” He frowns and sighs. “It is the worst that I’ve ever seen.”
“Worse than Neahs?” I remember our conversation about Neah. He was fascinated with her soul but had never understood how she wasn't completely broken.

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?...
