Neah
Dane guides me into the new office. Instead of just a desk for him, there is now one for me. He pushes the pram through the door and checks on the girls before stepping behind me and looping his arms around my waist.
“Every Alpha needs a desk,” he muses and presses his warm lips against my neck. “But you don’t have to use it like that if you don’t want to. I can think of other uses.”
I cast a glance over the new room. The white walls are lined with black and white photographs of our children. The furniture is painted black wood, a stark contrast to the white walls. Large windows let in the light, making the room bright and welcoming. I couldn’t wait to see the rest if this was just one room.
I catch Damien and Samara’s scents. Shortly after, Damien calls out, “Neah? Dane?”
“Office,” Dane replies, pressing his lips to the mark on my neck.
Damien steps in first, giving the office a nod of approval as Samara quietly slips in behind him, not knowing where to look.
“You wanted to see me,” she mutters quietly.
I keep my mouth closed as Damien makes himself comfortable in one of the chairs. He shoots a wink in my direction. He knew exactly why I had asked her to come. However, he clearly kept it a secret from Samara.
“How are you finding things?” Dane asks Samara. I knew he was trying to help me find the words I wanted to say by making small talk with her.
She nods, “I am so grateful.” The words rush out of her as she throws a glance at Damien, who shrugs. “I will do anything that you want me to. I want to be here. I want to be with Damien. Whatever it is, I can fix it,” she adds when Damien gives her nothing.
"You haven't done anything wrong," Dane tells her.
The girls coo from the pram, and Samara sits up a little straighter. “Your pups are here?”
“Do you want to meet them?” I mutter. Why was I finding it so hard to tell her I wanted her to be my Beta?
‘Because almost everyone has fucked us over in some way!’ Nyx reminds me. 'It's natural to be cautious.'
Samara quietly steps over to the pram and peers inside. I see how Damien is watching her with curiosity. He loved Dorothy, but he wanted pups of his own.
“They are beautiful, Neah,” she smiles as she watches them. “You are very lucky.”
“We are,” Dane confirms.
Samara pivots around to face me. “Is that why you wanted me to come here so that I could meet the girls?”
“I want you to be my Beta.” I am surprised at my announcement but don't look away. However, it came out sounding much more aggressive than I wanted or intended.
Her lips part a little until her jaw is fully dropped. Her grey eyes lock on mine as she starts shaking her head in disbelief. Everyone is quiet except the girls.
“But…” Samara closes her eyes, and her brow wrinkles up in confusion. “You made it clear… I… We didn’t meet on the best of terms. And you have Damien.” She gestures to him, “And Eric, or what about Mallory? She is your friend.”
“Damien and Eric are Danes Betas, not mine.” I smile at Damien, “I know he will protect me with his life, but he was never chosen to be my Beta. You were.”

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?...
