Fateful Collision Chapter 31
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
Fateful Collision Chapter 32
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

She double-checked the door after she had left it in order to ensure that it was safe, and then she proceeded to take the elevator down to the first floor. The sound of music caused her to take a pause. She was making her way down a tight hallway when she came to a giant window made of glass. She took a sneak peek inside and observed a number of young women of varying ages dressed in leotards and tights. She couldn't help but crack a grin as she watched the young girl with the long red pigtails perform a flawless pirouette. Gwen wanted to show her support for the young child, who couldn't have been older than three or four at the most.Gwen lingered for a few minutes, daydreaming about the day she would have a daughter of her own and see her perform her first demi-plié at the barre. Did Phil desire children? How likely was it that the two of them would be able to successfully conceive a child together?She sat there, watching the dancers, until her stomach began to rumble in such a lo
Fateful Collision Chapter 35
She took a deep breath in order to stifle the irate words that were rising to the surface of her throat. "I was trapped in here and needed to get out." She massaged her arms by moving her hands up and down her limbs. "I called up my good friend."Phil nodded. You really needed to have a conversation with somebody who, for lack of a better description, is normal. I understand.""You do? Have you ever had those feelings before?"Of course, every so often." When he saw her shocked reaction, he simply shrugged. "Over the course of the past few hundred years, I've had what I suppose you could call woman companions from time to time. Not for use with prey. Not for sexual use. Simply for the purpose of companionship. Just to have the opportunity to experience being human for a week or two."He took a few steps back, at which point she strolled over to the sofa and sat down on it. "Did you ever love any of them?" is the question.While his brow furrowed in concentration, he slid his hands int
Fateful Collision Chapter 36
Gwen felt a strange queasy feeling in the pit of her stomach, and she had the bewildering impression that she was travelling through time and space at a quick pace.They arrived at Bondurant just a few moments later.Gwen observed as she looked about the now-familiar room that she was staying in, "This place is starting to feel like home."“Yeah.” After placing Gwen's suitcase inside the closet, Phil drew her into his arms and kissed her forehead. He was horrified at the prospect of her returning there, but there was no use in harping on it any further. She was able to empathize with him."When the pack runs, it'll probably be too late."Phil remarked, "I'll look for you somewhere in the hills near the river," and he intended to do so. If her father were to succeed in getting her back into the compound, it was impossible to say when or if she would ever be able to leave it again. At least he didn't have to be concerned with Raquel trying to track them down this time.Gwen squeezed him
Fateful Collision Chapter 37
Noah raised his eyes to stare at her while tears ran down his face. "I don't know," he responded when asked about it. "Everything took place in such a flash. This assailant emerged from the bushes and fatally shot your father. I... I eliminated him before he could reload his weapon."Is that man... my father?"Noah nodded. "I'm afraid he's gone."Gwen gave a slight nod in response. “No. He can't possibly be." She resisted Noah's attempt to hold her hand while her own eyes searched fruitlessly for any indication of life.She sank back on her heels. She had only recently finished burying her mother, and now this was happening. Had she, on some fundamental level, been aware that anything of the order of this was about to take place? Was that the reason why she felt the need to return home? Because it was necessary for her to be here?She closed her eyes as she continued to massage her temples. Why did she feel so numb inside, like she was missing something? Her father had just been kille
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

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
Fateful Collision Chapter 45
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

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
