Damien
I sigh as I leave the house and make my way across the grounds, preparing myself for the worst. I hadn’t been called in since the incident with Kade.
As I approached, the children were already leaving the small school, but the session wasn’t over yet.
The teacher greets me at the door, her face etched in concern. She gestures for me to follow her. Before she points her out, I see Dottie’s trainers sticking out from under a desk.
“I can’t get through to her,” the teacher tells me in a whisper. “She is inconsolable.”
I hear Dottie’s little whimpers and snuffles telling me she has a snotty nose. “How long has she been like this?”
“The tears have been on and off since her arrival. I will be outside if you need me.”
“Dottie, come out.”
Her toes twitch, but she doesn’t move.
“Dottie, I can move the desk, but I want you to come out and talk to me.” The snuffles continue, yet she doesn’t speak.
Squatting down to the floor, I see she is hugging her teddy bear tightly. Her bright green eyes are laced with tears, and red, puffy cheeks shine from where she had been rubbing them.
“Dottie?”
“Daddy’s in trouble!” she croaks as the tears break free.
“Brax?”
Her eyes drift to her feet, “A fire and scary water.”
“Come here,” I pull her out and wrap my arms around her. I couldn’t tell her that Brax would be fine, not when I didn’t know what was happening.
“I think… I think Daddy is going to die.” she chokes as she hugs me.
“How do you know?”
She shrugs and scrunches her face, “He said he loved me and to be good.”
“You heard him?” I was confused; she was so young, but then again, he was her birth father, and Hunters had abilities that others didn't.
“Uh-huh.”
I couldn’t link Brax. He refused to be part of the pack, making him unreachable by anything other than a phone, and that had been dead for some days. “Have you tried talking to him?”

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?...
