Neah
Focussing on my hand, I run my thumb over the palm. There wasn’t even a tiny mark. It had been so long since I had healed this quickly.
Over the years, Trey and the pack had great fun in trying to make the bruises last longer than a few seconds. Hitting me harder and harder, sometimes, breaking my bones, only to hit me again once they had healed.
After I was bound the final time, the beatings continued, just not to the same extent. They got their satisfaction by seeing me permanently wounded.
“It’s the Alpha in you.” Alpha Dane mutters. “The only reason it took so long before is because of the binding.”
Curling my hand into a ball, I dig my own nails into my skin, watching tiny beads of blood appear. The moment I release, the small wounds are gone and I’m just left with a few droplets of red, staining my hand.
“This is what Trey wanted, Neah. To beat you down, to take away your power, to make you little more than nothing. And you,” he tips my chin up with a single finger. “You are not nothing. I need you to see that.”
His hands move to my hips as he continues to stare at me. “And we are telling the pack today.”
“No.” I shake my head at him. I just wasn’t ready. I didn’t even want to see what I looked like as a monster.
“Neah, it’s time. I’ve held off for as long as possible. They need to know.”
“I...I don’t have a choice, do I?” I whisper, lowering my eyes.
“Not this time, no.”
Maybe it was better that they knew. If they decide they don’t want me here, it would be better to find out now.
“They will want you here.”
I look back at Alpha Dane to see his crimson eyes watching me. He didn’t seem in the least bit worried.
Closing my eyes, I nod my head, Still not quite believing that I was agreeing to it.

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?...
