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
A few months has passed since all the craziness with Lucian. Things had settled down massively, well, apart from being thrown into motherhood and raising triplets. I was just glad I wasn’t doing it on my own.Daryl was still getting used to having a smaller pack. Although he had already been out trying to recruit other packs that were smaller than ours. Some had accepted whereas others had told him where to go. The pack was still much smaller than the average wolf pack with less than a hundred people now after many had lost their lives in the fight against my brother, but he was certain he would make it great again. After all, he really wanted to pass on an almighty pack to Daryl Junior, the eldest of the triplets.In just a few months the three of them had grown quite quickly, instead of being like three-month-olds, they looked more like eighteen month olds and certainly liked to keep me busy and on my toes, especially since they were already walking and running. I assumed they were
More bullets come as I keep low, the stench of Lucian’s blood filling the air as he hovers above me. With each bullet, I am splattered in his blood, but it continues to do little more than slow him down.“You have not learnt a thing!” he roars at me as his claws wrap around my neck, lifting me from the ground.I should have been afraid, scared for my own life as I faced death when he suddenly stills. My feet dangling in the air at least ten inches from the ground. His deep amber eyes staring into mine, but he was quiet, no sound was coming from Lucian and yet everyone around us was yelling.His claws pierced the skin of my neck, my own blood trickling down over my cool skin as I watched Lucian’s nostrils flare. He was enjoying my scent, like it was something he had been longing for. This was not in my plan.His teeth sink into my shoulder as I let out a scream, and I see people charging towards Lucian. Daryl was shouting out something about protecting the Luna.Lucian’s jaw refuses to
“I will stop this.” I try to reassure the tiny beast in my arms, but I still didn’t know if I could even kill him, if it was even possible.“She will never be yours!” Lucian’s voice howls around us making Natasha’s little beast cling to me harder. Her tiny claws piercing my skin as they dug into me, her body trembling as his voice echoes around us.“Drop the spell.” I whisper to the small beast. Lucian was using her to put the spell around the dungeons, to stop others from getting any closer, but she was still a baby, could she even understand what I was saying? Could my reassurance be enough?Her small furry body continues to tremble against mine until it suddenly stops, momentarily scaring the crap out of me. When I hear soft snuffles coming from her and gently turn her head. She had fallen asleep on me. She had gone from a terrified little beast to one in a deep sleep, she had needed me so much more than I had ever known, and I feel a shift inside of me. The need to protect her, no
“It’s not that simple is it. I may have some magical abilities, but he still has years over me. Years of training, years of knowledge, years of planning what he calls his redemption.”“But there is something he possibly didn’t account for. A mother’s love, a mate’s love. The fact that a whole pack will be right behind you.”It just didn’t seem true. Maybe I had been looking at this all wrong and it wasn’t just my fight anymore.“Then how am I supposed to make myself stronger?”“You already know Ash, look at the things you have been capable of. Personally, I don’t think you give yourself enough credit.”I was completely soaked from the heavy rain as I stared up into his amber eyes, the blue flecks shining brightly through the storm. It wasn’t just me that had changed but it seemed like he had too. His once sulky and moody self had mellowed out.“What ever happens Ash, you have three babies that need you.”I slowly bob my head, he was right, but I had still left them to check on my best
No one stops me, no one even comes after me as I race through the forest towards her house. She had to be here, it was where it had all started.As I break out of the forest, I see it, her small house sitting on the opposite side of the road. A trail of blood leading up the few steps as the door sat open. Anyone could walk in here, anything could have found her.Creeping towards the house, I knew the trail of blood belonged to her. It was dry though and had been sat here for a while, but it didn't remove her scent.“Tasha?” I call out her name as I step in through the front door, hoping for some kind of response but I was met with silence and what was worse is the trail of blood ended in the middle of the room. There was nothing, no body, no pool of dried red, but more importantly there was no sound.The floorboards didn’t creak like I was used to, no weird smell from all the herbal teas she had scattered around.“Can you hear her?” I mutter to Reaper. I didn’t even know why I was ask
The omega keeps her head low, not speaking as she remained in the room. She was our biggest risk right now; she was the only one to know that I had had a third baby and I couldn’t have her revealing that information, not to anyone.“You can’t say anything!” I plead with her, hoping that she would understand.“They need to be checked over.” She mumbles back at me and Daryl shakes his head“Kiera, you cannot tell anyone, you cannot share the news of Ash having a third child. Do you understand?” He was using his Alpha tone, a tone that I was only to familiar with.The omega gulps, her eyes wide as she slowly nods her head.“I need you to say it Kiera!”“I won’t tell anyone, but how are you going to hide her, what if she is a poorly pup?”Daryl looks between me and the omega as I gently rock our little girl.“Kiera, you will become Ashley’s personal maid. You will do nothing else in the house except for helping Ash and tending to the children and monitoring any changes in them!”“But the
“For you!” Lucian punches the stone wall of his cell, splitting the skin on his knuckles which heals instantly.“I don’t understand”“Of course you don’t sister.” He laughs manically as he tries to pull the bars apart. I was glad Daryl had reinforced them.“You weren’t to know I was going to have children.”He looks at me from the corner of his eye. I was so stupid, I had told him of the vision, the one where I was left alone with twins, the one where Daryl was not in the picture. How could I have been so stupid?“You told me that not all visions were correct that some were just created in my own mind!”“Yes, but I saw that vision too, sister. Getting into your head was much easier than you trying to get into mine. Any time your wolf was dormant, it left an opening. A chance for me to see everything!”“Just kill him Ash” Daryl links me"Whicjh is why you wanted Amber to trap me?"He starts clapping."About time you figured that out."“You would never have found me without Daryl!” I ye
The omega hands her to me, she was much smaller than the boys with tufts of dark hair that matched Daryl’s, bright amber eyes peeping out under her eyelids.I still didn’t understand, the doctor had shown me the monitor, pointed out the two boys, how could he have missed a third baby or even a third heartbeat.Silent tears run down my face as I look at the three of them, how could I protect them? How could I protect my daughter from my brother? He was so set on taking her.“You did well.” The omega smiles at me as she drapes something over my legs, but I glance at the door. I had a bad feeling growing in the pit of my stomach.“He’s coming.” I mutter.There is fear on the omegas face as her eyes widen and her body stills.“You’re scared of him?”“Every omega is.” She sits next to me.“You know I’m not talking about Daryl, don’t you?”She nods her head and mutters Lucian’s name back to me.“What did he do to you?”He didn’t have anything to do with the omegas.“You don’t know?” she que
It was strange after experiencing Amber's world!Being able to run through Lucian’s mind with his beast chasing me was something I had never considered happening, nor did I think it was even possible and yet here I am. To be in someone’s mind was almost disgusting, you never know what they might be hiding and it was apparent that Lucian had been hiding alot.I had never bothered to ask the name of his beast, but something tells me it’s up there like mine. Reaper, another name for death and she certainly did have a dark side.“Tell me where she is!” I scream as I continue to run.“Give us your daughter!”“I have already told Lucian, they are boys, no females.”“You lie! I can smell it. You are carrying a girl!”Here I had no bump, if anything my stomach was flatter than flat. Was this how Lucian really saw me?He chases me through the greyness of Lucians mind. There was no colour, like he only saw things a certain way. Anytime I get a chance to grab something to throw, I do. Lucian con
