"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
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
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
After emerging from his den, he set out in pursuit of his victim. He needed to eat regularly, and he needed to eat well. Given what we know about Raquel, it could be quite some time before the next meal.When he arrived at Raquel's house in New Mexico, it was one hour after midnight and he had transferred himself there. He paused for a while on the front porch, took a few deep breaths, and then rang the doorbell.After a few moments, the witch came to answer the door. Her wonderful reaction when she realized who he was was her startled expression.Her expression alternated between one of terror and one of astonishment. Fear was victorious. She yelled at him, "You are not allowed to come in!" She retreated one step, then yelled out for her companion or familiar. The cat came racing up to her and jumped into her arms while she was holding them.Phil uttered those words, "I've come to surrender," at some point. "But before we go any further, I need you to swear to me that you won't bothe
As he entered the restroom, he removed his jeans before going in. Being a vampire allowed him to heal swiftly from injuries, even those caused by silver, which was one of the advantages of his status. He got into the steamy shower and wished the entire time that Gwen was there with him. While he closed his eyes, he saw the image of her hands going down his back and shoulders, getting lower and lower...He stepped out of the shower, patted himself dry, and then sprawled out on the bed, shaking off the sexual thoughts that had been going through his head. While he was laying there with his arms folded behind his head, he mentally compiled a list of things he needed to get done before he got up the next morning. First, he would get on the phone and place an order for five dozen roses to be sent to Kusuma Ila. Second, he would package Raquel's wand and make arrangements to have it sent to her as full and final payment for the services that he had provided. And then, the third thing he wou
