“Madison, stop!”
Blair shoots a glare in my direction. Placing her hands on Madison’s shoulders, she stops her from looking back and pushes Madison forward.
“Madison!”
“Fuck off, you traitor,” Blair snaps as I jog to catch up with them.
“You are a fine one to talk, and this," I wiggle a finger between me and Madison, "doesn’t concern you,"
“She is my friend. How could you be so cruel?”
“You’re asking me why I’m cruel? You must be fucking joking, Lone Wolf?” I spit out the stupid name she once used.
Her eyes lock onto mine, “Don’t call me that.”
“Isn’t that what they always called you?” I sneer.
“Let’s go,” Blair mutters to Madison.
Madison tries her best to avoid meeting my eyes until I block her path. Her chestnut orbs briefly focus on me and then shift to something behind me. Her face was already blotchy as she tried to hold it together. I was expecting this. No one wants to know their mate has tied themselves to another.
“Blair, piss off and leave us to talk.”
“No chance. Right now, she needs a friend,” Blair snaps.
I’m pretty sure she wouldn’t be spouting off to me if I had a gun pressed up against her temple. It appears that she had become a little too comfortable since I had been gone.
Bare hands could do just as good a job as a gun.
“Do I need to remind you that you might be playing happy families here, but it doesn’t change what you did to my family.”
“Neah…”
“Neah isn’t here.” I stare her down. “And don’t even try to use the sibling card. I already know which side she will be on.”
Her face hardens. “You wouldn’t dare.”
“Are you sure you want to pull at that thread?” I muse.
“Stop. Please stop,” Madison whispers. “Blair, it’s fine, you can go. I will catch up with you later.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes, she is!” I snap.
Madison nods at her, “I will be okay.”
“I will be watching. The front door to Ryken’s is right over there,” she mutters as if it should scare me.
Madison takes a deep breath as Blair stomps away, swinging her arms. It was odd to see her care for someone other than herself.
“You don’t have to be so mean to her. She is trying.”
“Trying with everyone else.” I shake my head, “You have to realise I won’t ever be able to forgive her for what she did to my family or the situation she put my kid in. I tolerate her purely because it is what I have been asked to do. But if she crosses that line, there will be no stopping me.”
She folds her arms across her chest and stares at me for a moment before dropping her gaze. Her red waves fall around her face as she squats to tie up her shoelace. “Why did you bind yourself to that woman?”
“We were in a life and death situation.”

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?...
