Fateful Collision Chapter 34
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

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

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

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

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

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 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

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
