I catch Neah suppressing a laugh.
“I am not a Vampire.” I mutter, irritated. “I am a Wolf and you are a Lycan.”
Her jaw hangs open and her head starts to shake. “No…no, you are wrong.” Her soft blue eyes flash to Neah, “Please help me.”
Her voice is all high and squeaky.
“I’m a Lycan too.” Neah whispers, her eyes locked with Jess.
“Your name is Neah, isn’t it?” Jess asks, sitting back down. “You are the one I was sent too.”
“Yes.”
“You did this to me?” The girl wasn’t shy about asking questions.
“No. But I can try to help you.” Neah looks over to me, sadness taking over. “The people that did this too you were cruel to me too. The only difference is I was born this way. They forced this life on you. That’s why you can’t go back to your family, Jess. You might hurt them in ways that you don’t think is imaginable. And trust me when I say this, you can’t control it. It will happen when you least expect it.”
She was talking about Devon and how she killed him.
“But….”
Neah reaches across the table, taking Jess’s hands in hers. “This is something I do know, Jess. We can keep you safe here. We can figure it out together and I will personally make them pay for what they have done to you.”
Jess pulls her hands back and runs them through her red hair. “I will never see my family again?”
Neah looks over to me. Her brow creased. She sighs before returning her gaze to Jess. “No.”
The tears fall thicker and faster. Sobs leave her lips as her shoulders judder. I felt sorry for her. Fifteen and thrown into a world she knows nothing about. Cassandra and Trey are sick and far more twisted than I am and that says a lot.
Jess stays with Eric. It’s the first house she had been taken to and we believed it made her feel a level of safety. Plus the boys would be home soon and that might make her feel even better knowing Eric was a father.
“Is this what’s going to happen?” Neah asks as we walk across the grounds. “Young, innocent kids.”
“Possibly.”
“I hate them.” She mutters
“There is only one way for us to find out. You have to accept who you are and then we can see if you can link them all.”
Her eyes are wide as she nibbles on her bottom lip. “I don’t want to be an Alpha.” It was the only thing she was consistently sure of. And she had made herself clear
“What if it’s temporary?”
“I don’t follow.”
“When they are all dead, you won’t need to be an Alpha. You can exist as you are right now, as my mate, and one day as the mother of my pups. You can leave that world behind. Let the breed end with you. If that’s what you want.”
“And Jess, you won’t kill her?.” She whispers, rolling with my idea.
“You and Jess.” I confirm, "And any other children."
She puffs out her cheeks. “What…what do I need to do?”

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....
