Fateful Collision Chapter 24
After giving a little nod to herself, Kusuma Ila exited the room. She left for a little while and then returned with a wooden bowl, a feather from an eagle, a book of matches, and a small bag in her hand. She then opened the bag, emptied its contents into the bowl she had placed on the coffee table, and replaced the bag. She lit a match, and then she set fire to the food that was inside the bowl. There was a noticeable rise in the level of blue smoke in the atmosphere, and with it came the aroma of sage and sweetgrass.Kusuma Ila waved the feather of an eagle over the bowl while softly muttering something that Phil believed to be Apache. This caused the smoke to be drawn toward Gwen. The singing of the elderly woman gradually became more forceful and audible. This continued for a good number of minutes.Phil maintained his position close to Gwen's head. As the power of the elderly witch spread across the room, he clinched his palms into fists. He was able to sense it pressing against

Gwen was aware that she gave off the appearance of being a tourist, but she couldn't help but stare as Phil led the way toward one of the casinos. She was aware of Las Vegas and had seen images of it on the internet, on television, and in movies; yet, she was blown away by the city itself. The roads were clogged with motor vehicles, cabs, campers, and recreational vehicles; the sidewalks were packed with people, many of whom were inebriated, and everyone seemed to be enjoying the time of their life. She saw everyone from men and women dressed in flip-flops and shorts to guys in ties and suits, women in dresses and heels, and everything in between. She also saw everything in between.The lobby of the hotel featured opulent decor throughout. Her steps were muffled by the imported carpeting. There was a fierce competition for space between the low tables, potted palm trees, and exotic statues, which were wrapped in soft velvet. The atmosphere was one of lavish indulgence throughout the e

"Until you answer my questions, there will be no food for you, there will be no water for you, and there will be no rest for you!"She shook her head and repeated the response that had gotten him so worked up, all the while her cheeks were scorching from the power of his punches. "I cannot help you."Even if he beat her until she was too weak to stand and threatened her until his face turned blue, she would never reveal the information he sought from her. She required the werewolf girl to do what she set out to do. It doesn't matter what happens to the son of the Grizzly Pack's Alpha—he deserves to burn in hell. And when she finally got out from this place, which she knew for a fact she would, she planned on taking him with her.After staring at her for a few minutes as his anger filled the room, he eventually turned on his heel, slammed the door, and stormed out of the room.The news allowed Raquel to let out a sigh of relief. The day before, he had spent many hours quizzing and ques

I suppose you've forgotten that marriages that take place outside of the pack aren't recognized legally. The moon will be at its fullest in nine days' time. You are going to get married to Noah at that moment."After mustering up her strength, she addressed her father with the following plea: "Father, I'm begging you, please don't make me do this."He set his shoulders squarely, clutching his hands at his sides while maintaining an unmoved expression. He was no longer her father but rather her Alpha at this point. "If you openly defy me once more, Gwene Marie, I will be forced to sentence you to death because I have no other choice." Do you understand?"She was unable to talk due to the large lump that was in her throat, but she managed to nod."I have declined the invitation extended by the vampire. After this, he will be unable to access the compound or any of the homes that are located within the fence's perimeter. Also, no one else will be allowed to extend an invitation to him. I
Fateful Collision Chapter 28
The fact that she had skipped both breakfast and lunch was brought to her attention by her stomach's loud grumbling; nonetheless, it was unreasonable to anticipate that she would have a healthy appetite on the worst day of her life.Her mother peered through the crack in the door after hearing a knock at the entrance. "Gwene, you haven't even started getting dressed yet!" Katie walked into the room with a frown etched into the skin of her brow. "You have to move quickly. The event will begin in exactly half an hour.""Mom, are you sure you can't get me out of this?""I'm afraid not." Katie took Gwen's gown down from the hook where it was hanging. It was long and white, with a basic cut and pattern, and it had a veil that reached the floor. "The longer you keep your father waiting, the more difficult things will become.""How could they possibly be any worse?" Gwen murmured. She climbed into the gown by pulling it over her head, then turned around so that her mother could button the le

"That was my assumption." His eyes traveled all over her, pausing to take in the fullness of her breasts, the smoothness of her stomach, and the length and definition of her legs. She was voluptuous in all the appropriate areas while still maintaining a thin figure.And wedded to someone else's husband. He was unsure of his reaction to that at the moment. But before to that, she had been his wife.“Phil?”As he reached out for her, he shook his head and smiled. You'll have to fill me in on where we stand because I'm not entirely sure."You are still my husband in my thoughts and feelings, and you always will be," I told him.He remarked to her, "That's good enough for me," and then proceeded to kiss her.Gwen encircled him with her arms and pulled him close to her chest. She didn't care what the repercussions would be as long as she could spend a little bit of time with Phil, so she broke the rule. As long as Phil continued to love her, it did not matter how long she lived or if she w
Fateful Collision Chapter 30
Phil was currently incarcerated, and he was lying on his back while staring blankly at the ceiling. His thoughts were as black as the cell he was currently occupying. He had lived for nearly 600 years, untethered to anyone else, and unrestricted in his movement wherever he wished. And then he was introduced to Raquel. After that, you were confined to a cage for the next three years like a wild animal. Three miserable years passed by. And then he met Gwen, who not only changed his life but also illuminated for him the meaning of genuine contentment. Unfortunately, despite how much he despised Raquel and how much he cared for Gwen, his association with the two of them had resulted in his being held captive on multiple occasions, and he was very sick of being in that situation.He did this despite being aware that it was pointless; he pulled on the hefty silver shackle that was shackled to his right ankle and was attached to a strong bolt in the floor. He was left with a searing agony in

As she hurried back up to the apartment, she grabbed a fresh set of clothes as well as a pair of shoes. She was on her way back home!Upon entering the living room again, she cast a quick glance in Noah's direction. He stood there close to the fireplace with his arms crossed over his chest and a sad expression on his face. When she followed her father out to the car, he stayed silent the entire time.After making sure that she was comfortable, her father started the car and drove away from the property. He would not answer her questions about why he was taking her away from the Grayson home in the middle of the night, so she was forced to speculate about the worst-case scenario. Her first reaction was that something terrible had happened to Phil, but because it was the middle of the night, she didn't have to worry about her father coming after her because of that. The only other thing that sprang to mind for her was that her mother was either sick or dead or on her way out of this wor

Phil was approached by a young man who had light brown hair, was of average height and weight, and was of average height and weight. "I am José Grayson, the last of my line," he said. "I am the only one left in my family." "I am the only member of my family still alive." "As the one who will eventually take my place as Alpha, I beg of you to take my life if you must, but to spare my pack. Please don't take my life, but if you must, leave my pack alone. This wasn't the fight that happened between the two of them. Because of my uncle's misguided desire, I do not want them to suffer the consequences of his actions.Phil's response was, "That decision isn't mine to make," but he couldn't help but appreciate the boy's perseverance. "That decision isn't mine to make," he said. He responded by saying that "that decision is not mine to make." In spite of the fact that José couldn't have been more than twenty years old at the time, he carried himself with the natural pride of an Alpha and a re

Because the males were so focused on attempting to rape the woman, they were unaware that they were in imminent danger until it was too late to do anything about it.The first man's neck was broken by Phil, and then he tore out the heart of the second man.The woman passed out suddenly.He barely managed to get there in time to grab her before she fell to the ground. He held her in his arms for a brief period of time before lowering his head to her neck while she was still unconscious and taking a drink from her. Because he had just succeeded in saving her life, he didn't think she would be upset about it.Gwen fixed her gaze on Phil. You put an end to their lives? What steps did you take to dispose of the bodies?"There's no reason for you to know that. No one does.""I have no doubt that Rudolfo will show up here with inquiries. And even if he doesn't, we can be sure that he'll point the finger of blame at us for their disappearance."Just tell him the truth if he comes here, that's

"I know." Gwen lightly rapped her fingertips on the surface of the table. "I really should be out there."If they have a need for you, I have no doubt that they will find a way to contact you."No, that's not what I meant. I am now the leader of the pack. If my father were to be hiding out in the house, I would know about it."You're not 'hiding out,'" Greta told me. "You're keeping an eye on the house in case those shady characters decide to try to sneak in here," I told you.“Right.”"A movie is being watched by the other adults and children who have gathered in the clubhouse. Would you like to go to that location?""No, I don't feel like keeping a lot of company." She let out an audible sigh. "I really wish I knew what was going on out there."Phil went stealthily throughout the night, making no noise with his feet as he followed the fence line and kept an eye out for any wolves that may be hiding in the darkness.After making four circuits around the perimeter, he finally picked u

Gwen fixed her gaze on Phil. She questioned again, "Why not?" before shaking her head. "I can't say for sure. Brett? Greta?”The reply came from Brett. "That's not how we do things. Whenever there was a full moon, we would engage in combat with one another, either pack against pack or Alpha against Alpha. Or stealthily, like Grayson's henchmen did when they murdered Bobby and Stewart. In the form of a declaration of war"After giving it some thought for a while, Gwen shoved it to the back of her mind so that she might consider it again at a later time.She questioned him by saying, "So, Brett, have you tried shifting yet?"“No.”"Give it a go right now."After getting to his feet, Brett walked straight towards the middle of the room. He undressed to his underwear, took a long breath, and furrowed his brow in thoughtful concentration before proceeding. At first, nothing happened; then, little by little, there was a shift in the air, a subtle ripple of preternatural force that progressi

Gwen nodded. She had never before experienced the full weight of the responsibilities that came with being Alpha of the Shadow Pack, but now she could feel them. She hadn't given any thought to what being the Alpha would actually entail for her until it was too late. When she challenged Noah, the only thing on her mind was how to keep her aunt from dying."So," Phil replied as he placed his arm around her shoulders and continued their conversation. "I guess the question is, what is it that you want to do?""I want to be with you," the speaker said."I'm here."The question is, "For how long?" The inquiry that she had been too terrified to ask is now out in the open for everyone to see."Ah, Gwene, my love, for as long as you want me to be here, I'll be right here," she said.It turned out to be the correct response. The most appropriate response. And he made it abundantly obvious to her that he had already lived more than three hundred years, and that it was possible that he would liv

gathering place by following the sound of voices. She peeked over the door frame while being stealthy so as not to be seen. Someone had placed Diego's body on a long table that had a white sheet draped over it from top to bottom. They treated him as if he were a member of their own pack by washing his face, combing through his hair, and covering him with a blanket. Gwen has her questions answered, so she heads back to the patio as quickly as she can. After a few minutes had passed, Brett came back. "Well, it looks like they're gone." Gwen nodded. "You showed a lot of quick thinking by bringing the body in from the barn," said the witness. "Greta came up with the plan. She had the idea that if we honored their ancestors and handled their deceased with dignity, it could help defuse some of the tension. I believe that it was successful." Brett moved over to one of the chairs and sat down. "Of course, there is no way to know for certain. They still have the opportunity to issue a challeng
Fateful Collision Chapter 40
While Gwen went inside and kneeled at the grave of her mother, Phil rested against one of the cottonwood trees that stood outside the gate. In the meantime, Phil knelt down himself.Gwen prayed silently as she bent her head to the ground, tears trickling down her cheeks.As Phil watched her, he couldn't help but feel that she deserved a good cry. It was too late for her parents. She had come perilously close to losing her aunt. She had been responsible for the death of the man who was her husband. She was now in charge of the pack as Alpha, with all of the responsibilities that role entails.When he looked at her, a mixture of pride and compassion rose up within of him. His wife was one beautiful lady in every way.His ears perked up as soon as they picked up the scent of a wolf.The pack's top dog.In the space of a second breath, he was able to recognize the intruder as Noah's father. Gwen was knocked down before the wolf even had a chance to ponder the possibility that there was a

When they reached the meeting site in the woods just outside the fence line, Gwen's nerves felt like they had been stretched to the breaking point. She was adamant about not turning to look at Noah, who was standing to her left with his hand on her shoulder. A caution in the dark, without a doubt.After confirming that everyone was there, Greta made her way into the midst of the circle. You are all aware of the reason for our gathering tonight. Because our Alpha has been taken out of the game, we now need to select a new leader. Since I am the only other Alpha of the Shadow Pack and I am Nagin Luta's sister, it is up to me to fill the role that he previously had. Speak up now if there are people in this room who do not intend to support me in my role as Alpha.Noah nudged Gwen. She cast a quick glance up at him, into his icy, black eyes, and immediately realized that her aunt's life would be in jeopardy if she did not suggest Noah's name.Gwen went into the middle of the circle, her c
Fateful Collision Chapter 38
The screaming finally stopped when the last of Zebedee's bodies were consumed by the flames and the fire was extinguished.As Phil and the other people made their way back to the compound, Gwen and the others saw him gradually transform into a mist.It turned out to be just as difficult to go over the barrier as it would have been to climb a brick wall. He had expected that the passing of the Alpha would pave the way for him to advance, but it appears that this will not be the case. He had predicted that this would be the case.Before resuming his normal form, he waited for all of the other members of the pack to get back to their own homes. Only then did he transform back into his natural self. Gwen needed to be informed of what he had seen and heard, and she needed to be warned that her father's death had not been the product of an accident. He also needed to inform her that he had seen and heard what had happened to her mother. It was imperative that he make contact with Gwen.Foll
