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?”

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?...
