Neah
His eyes were on my hand. Weird hollow rasps come out of him as blood trickles down the front of his top.
Very slowly he looks down. Like time had stopped to allow him to process what had happened. His hands shake as he touches his chest, he croaks and his body sways. Without a single thought, I shove him off the roof. Standing still until I hear his body hit the ground with a deafening crack.
Sitting down, I pull my knees to my chest, letting the cold night air rustle through my hair. I had just killed someone.
I turn my hand over to look at it, it had partially shifted. Dried spots of blood still lingered. Running my thumb over the tips of my fingers, I feel nothing, no pain, no sharp edges under my skin. The claws had disappeared as quickly as they came.
‘I’m sorry about that, but that prick needed dealing with.’ The voice rumbles through my head, unbothered by what had happened.
There was no one on the roof but me. And it certainly wasn’t Alpha Dane who was speaking to me.
‘You are right, I am far from a man.’ I hear the amusement in her voice
‘Who…who are you?”
‘I’m Nyx, your Lycan. And it looks like we found each other at the right time.’
‘We don’t…. You are not supposed to be in my head.’
‘It’s funny what a little Alpha blood and a few bindings can do.’
I was annoyed, if I had a Lycan, why hadn't she shown herself. ‘Where have you been?’
‘I’ve been right here, but those fuckers had me shut down.’
It was an odd sensation, feeling her roam my mind. ‘The period?’ I whisper
‘Bingo!’
Stunned into silence, I keep my arms wrapped around my legs. Is this what Alpha Dane and the others feel like when their Wolf is talking?
“You blocked him?” I shout out in annoyance
She doesn’t answer me and she doesn’t say anything else.
Alpha Dane and the others come out of the forest. They halt when they see the dead bodies that surround the packhouse. Very slowly, Alpha Dane’s eyes search the rooftop, looking for me. The moment he sees me, he just stares back at me. He thought I had killed them.
‘I’m coming up.’ He mutters
He expertly scales the side of the house like he had done it a million times before. His feet and his fingers quickly finding ledges to hold on too. As he climbs over the top, he just watches me.
“It…it wasn’t me! Well, just Devon.” I whisper.
“Did you shift?”
“No, a little….. She talks so much. What about the kids and the others?”

Execcelent! Loved it!...
What about 80? I can only go up to 79...
I am clearly coming late to this book …me definitely one of the more well written ones. I feel like Im reading a series though … like I just finished reading two books and now we are off onto another storyline. Getting used to “splutter” instead of “sputter” as a word, and still trying to work out the “Lycan” logic as Blairs explanation doesn’t really make sense given the initial explanation of how Lycans came to be … I do wish these were in physical form. I do love to flip back and forth on pages to reread previous chapters. So much arder on these apps....
I love this book. I wish there were more chapters. I read this all in a week. I know life outside of writing is more important. I will just sit and wait for more to be released. I will support you always Taylor. Thank you for sharing your talents....
Ooh and thanks to the website techs ☺️...
Whether it's pirated or not doesn't really concern me,, when are we getting the final chapters 🥹...
EclecticCelt sounds like your got massive issues because you can't understand something straightforward...
The last this book was updated was December 2024 not 3 years like someone else claimed. It can't be 3 years when the author started the story in Jan 2024. Now the story can be found on Inkitt...
I have a question. I understand this book is pirated with left out parts or adjusted. Is this version here ever going to be finished. I just want to know what happens....
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....
