“I don’t know what that means,” Indy mutters. “Is it some kind of threat? Because I’m not going to cause any trouble. I promise.” She stares at me with wide eyes, likely regretting the offer of coming here.
“Hopefully, you won’t have to find out,” I tell her.
Indy nods, her golden eyes settling on Neah, “Honestly, I’m just happy to help. In any way that you need me to. I hate Thalia. I hate everything she has done. All the family and friends I lost… Silas,” she shakes her head and frowns. “She makes me sick to my stomach.”
“Silas just needs time,” I remind her.
Indy leans forward, planting her hands on the desk as she studies Neah, “Thalia is out of control. How can someone be that power-obsessed? So obsessed that they don’t care who they hurt or who loses as long as they get exactly what they want. It’s ridiculous… Why can’t everyone just be happy?”
“White Cliffs was and is shut off from the rest of the world,” I scowl. “Battles happen all the time between packs.”
“But to become so focused on the power?” she asks quietly. "What causes that?"
“It happens,” I tell her. “Though some have better ways of handling the power they were given.” I glance at my mate, who seems to have lost the ability to converse. Instead, Neah stares back at Indy with curiosity.
“Everything changed so quickly,” Indy sighs. “One minute, White Cliffs was the best place to be. Next, it was shrouded in darkness, but the others couldn’t see it happening, not like me and Orion. And even he took some convincing to see the truth.”
“You never questioned it before?” I challenge. I didn’t believe that it could suddenly just change overnight. There had to have been something brewing long before.
She runs her hands through her white hair and slumps back, “If there was, I missed it. Silas and I were…”
“Figuring things out?” I offer.
“I guess you could say that.”
“Did you ever try to help him see the truth?”
Indy nods, “For a while, but it got harder and harder to get closer to him. And then Thalia made him see me differently. I was no longer the woman he fell in love with.”
‘I feel bad for her.’ Aero mutters. ‘It was hard enough when you wouldn’t do anything with Neah, and I had to sit by and watch. But to see her mate, knowing he was in the same pack and unable to do anything for so long, must be hard.’

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?...
