“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.’

I recently learned that this story is pirated. To read it legally, go to inkitt.com or the Inkitt app and search for Taylor West. FYI, the Facebook group is highly cliquish, so be warned....
This is stolen and as such, a lot of my story is being left out/adjusted. The true version is on Inkitt...
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?...
