Hi everyone. hope you are all enjoying the new chapters and are starting to understand the continuation a bit better, theres still lots of stuff to decipher, and I appreciate everyone that is sticking with it, I really do.
I just want to let you all know that there probably will not be an update until the end of the week for this book due to family illness. The dreaded lurgy has hit the household and slowly making its way around everyone.
Please bare with me and I will start uploading again as soon as I can, until then, I would love to hear any feedback.
Take care

I glance at him, trying to remember if he knew of Reaper or not as she stretches out inside of me, yawning sleepily. The timeline was all over the place, things had already changed to what I had experienced, Lucian even looked different, but he had already explained to me why. Yet if the first time he met me was in hospital then surely he wouldn’t know of Reaper and that was why he was asking me. “Have I shifted before?” I ask him, keeping my eyes on the door where Christian had disappeared. He shrugs his shoulders at me but there was a twinkle in his amber eyes. “What are you not telling me?” I ask, I didn’t understand why he wasn’t answering me. He glances to the closed door and holds a single finger up to me. Lucian takes the few steps to the door, grinning at me. He rams his hands hard against the door and we hear Christian swear as the door hits him. Lucian pulls the door open still grinning. “Now, now, it’s not polite to be eavesdropping Christian.” If looks could kill, Luc
I turn to see Daryl standing about five metres away, his eyes almost a solid black as he glared at Jax.“Alpha, did you see her hit me?” Jax wipes the blood from his chin and spits out some on to the ground at my feet, his gaze still firmly focussed on me.“I do not care Jax, but if you lay a single hand on her, you are as good as dead!” Daryl moves forward, letting out a low rumble as a warning and Jax storms off.“You came back?” I question quietly, he was supposed to be gone for a few days.“Lucian contacted me, said you seemed ‘off’ and I agree. It’s why I turned around and came home.”He stares at me awkwardly, not quite looking at me and yet he was.“Why did you punch him?”“I…” I trail off because I didn’t want to tell him,“Ashley, just tell me!”I shake my head, clamping my lips shut because what if I was wrong, what if after everything Jax wasn’t involved.“Where were you going?” I try to change the subject and he knew exactly what I was doing and thankfully he goes along wi
“Come on Ash, just tell me!”“Jax was working with Hayden!”“No, no” he steps back from me, shaking his head in denial when he suddenly grabs my shoulders, his eyes burning into my own, “Please tell me that you are lying?!”“It might not be true.” I whisper, dropping my eyes, uncomfortable by the way he looked at me.“It’s why you are so odd around him, it’s why you seem to have more anxiety. Is that why you punched him? Sorry, why Reaper hit him?”I bite my lip, slowly nodding. Feeling sick that Jax was probably in the packhouse somewhere, after all, he did live here.“Not everyone is out to get you Ashley!”I snort because that was just it, everyone had wanted me dead in some way. Even my own best friend had hated me in the end.“Then why is Lucian the only one being honest with me right now?”“What do you mean? I haven’t lied to you!”“Yes you have, you didn’t even tell me you were going to your parents until after!” I try to keep Reaper under control, and I guess as we started sho
I stare at the scene from my hiding spot in the shadows, how was it that she looked exactly how I imagined and yet Lucian didn’t. Anyway, there was no time to think about that as Reaper whispers, asking what the human was doing.“It’s Tasha” I mutter back, watching as she approached the vampires, her gun aiming at them the entire time but the man she called father, he had fallen silent, and I just knew he was already gone, humans could not survive that much blood lost.The vampires laugh, they were not ones that I had seen before, their laughs grow into full belly rumbles, and one moves, faster than the human eye could see, grabbing the gun and holding it against Tasha’s throat, trying to strangle her.I hear her splutter as the air is knocked out of her. I should help her but yet I find myself hesitating, watching as she brings her leg up behind her, smacking the vampire in the groin. His grip on the gun loosens enough for Tasha to get out under it.“You vampires think you are invinc
I think carefully over my answer, Reaper tells me that I’m stupid if I tell the truth and I guess on some level she is right because no one else believed me at first, so why would Tasha?Some time must have passed because she frowns at me.“Well? Are you going to answer me?”“It’s complicated!” I sigh, hoping it would be enough to stop her from asking.“Complicated? Yeah right. If I point my gun at your face, would it still be complicated then?”“You said I kept coming to you in a dream? Well, what if you are not completely wrong? What if I tell you we have lived a life, what if I tell you we are…were best friends?”She looks at me like I have the lost the plot, she looks up at the ceiling, shaking her head.“Do you know something Ashley? My dad always said to expect the unexpected when it comes to wolves and the rest of you. So tell me, because I am all ears!”“Don’t” Reaper mutters at me, “You will only get us in more trouble than what we are already in. Daryl’s going to be pissed w
Hey people, thank you for continuing to read up until now and I know you are all expecting an update. Unfortunately there has been an unexpected death in the family that has shocked everyone but most of all myself and as a result I just need to to take a break, to clear my head. I hope that you all understand and I will get back to it as soon as I can, updates will be on my F* author page. Or please feel free to check out my other books while you wait. Thank you. Take care Taylor West
Chapter NineteenThere was no Daryl, no Tasha as I look around. Instead, a tall man with whiter than white hair was stood a few metres in front of me. His red eyes gazing at me as my royal name rolls from his tongue.“Rudina, what did you do?” he asks again.The metallic smell of blood fills my nose and I find myself looking at my blood coated hands. Blood drips from my fingers and as I look down, I’m shocked. A woman with hair like fire lays dismembered on the ground of the forest. A pool of blood growing around her limbs.“Rudina. Look at me. What did you do?” he sounds agitated. His cold hands begin shaking my shoulders.The more he shakes, the more I feel like I am falling. My body dropping through the air even though I could see my feet were on the ground.“Rudina snap out of it. We need to get you out of here!”His voice was fading until I could hear nothing. Instead, I was surrounded by darkness, unable to move.“Ashley, come on Ashley. Can you hear me?!”“What’s the matter wit
“You have no fucking right Daryl” Christian bellows as he continues to try and break through whatever is holding him in the house.“It could be worse, I could have you thrown in the dungeons, let you rot.”Christian was outraged, his nostrils flaring as he shakes his head. His foot taps on the floor as he lets out a growl, focussing on Daryl.“You better start talking Daryl. Tell me why you have done this?”“It’s not me that needs to talk. I have already told you to go home and yet you are still here. Why?”Christians gaze shifts to me.“Are you going to tell him or shall I?”“I don’t know what you are talking about” I shrug my shoulders. I had just been trying to stay away from him as much as I could.“Don’t try and act all innocent Rudina!”“Stop calling me that!” I didn’t want to be known by that name anymore.His eyes roll as he shoves his hands in his pockets.“Do you want me to skip the part that we are mated as well?”Daryl stiffens. Fear floods through me. This just couldn’t b
