Henry glared at her, and she held his gaze. “I can't do that, Dad. Maybe death isn't the right punishment for what he did. It wasn't that bad, and maybe making him eat shit will be better and... He can apologize to Maxwell afterwards and leave it at that. The boy opened his eyes and nodded, relief in his eyes. Anna's father took the gun from her and shot the man in the head without hesitation, leaving Anna startled. She hadn't noticed that the gun had a silencer when he put it in his hand, and she never thought that her father would do something like that. He was rash and cruel. She felt the tears in her eyes and looked at the other faces, and not even Jenna's countenance expressed surprise. They were all indifferent. “Why did you do it, Dad? Didn't I tell you to spare him?” She asked hurt. “He couldn't live after we put him here and beat him up, you stupid girl! Do you think he'd leave here and live quietly, pretending he was never here? The men raped him, he would see
An angel. A woman with black hair, floating in the wind, with a white outfit and long wings, was staring at them with her sparkling blue eyes, cold and furious. They turned to Maxwell, after looking at each other. “Don't worry about knowing what she is. You won't remember anything once the heads have been buried, so I suggest you talk about it while you bury them.” Maxwell said and walked past them to the second floor window and, after exchanging a tender glance with the woman, went back to his room. He changed quickly, as he could hear Anna's birds approaching, and lay down. He felt pleasure when he felt her silky hands wrap around his body and, resisting the urge to have sex with her, he fell asleep. ... The next day, Anna woke up and heard the shower turn on. She looked over and Maxwell wasn't there. She couldn't think straight, nor could she reason. It took her a while to realize that Maxwell must have been in the shower, and the events of the previous day took shape in
Maxwell shook his head in agreement. “Maxwell... I don't want to live in that mansion and allow my children to live in that mafia world. I don't want to, because I know it's easy to like it. It's like an addictive drug...” “So you're not going to let me decide anymore?” “Would you choose the mansion, knowing that men will be killed there while your children sleep? That you would live with merciless men, and that you might be attracted to the evil that comes out of their pores?” “I'd clean the house first.” “And how would you do that? My father seems determined to live wherever I am... And he wouldn't abandon Ian either. He enjoys seeing him every day and the boy has become attached to him too.” “That's a problem, but there's a solution, too.” “And what would that be?” “Let's talk to his father and tell him that we don't want him to influence Ian. I don't like that very much. But I want my son to live with his grandfather and to love and respect him. And his father w
They repeated the process from the previous night and spent around three hours on top of her before they were satisfied. So they both left the room too, eager for a shower and hungry. Kate got up feeling refreshed, despite the burning all over her body, and went to the bathroom. She wasn't exhausted. She could take a lot more than those two were capable of. But she was in a good mood. It had been a good wedding night. She filled the bathtub and poured in the salts and the restorative oil that was in a compartment next to it. She could feel the restorative effect of the oil. As usual, she spent an hour relaxing there. She got out of the bath, put on a dress and no underwear, knowing that from that day on, she would own the house and that Adam would probably want her at all times and in the most unusual places. She wanted to be prepared for this, and went into the living room She wasn't embarrassed to see Alexander, Ryan and Caricature sitting at the table, along with a couple o
Adam entered the office, closely followed by Ryan. “Where's your wife, Ryan? I have some of her husband's adventures to tell her about...” Adam said as he picked out the bottle of whisky he was going to open. “Open the one from 1962. Uncle Allister really liked that year's vintage and I agree with him that it's the best whisky I've ever had.” Ruan said, sitting down. “As for my wife, well... I'll find it amusing to see you trying to talk about my adventures with her.” Adam accepted Ryan's suggestion, and picked up the whisky and poured them both a drink. “Why should you have all the fun? Is she like Kate?” “God! No! I would never get involved for more than one night with a woman like Kate.” “So...” “She's dead.” Adam sat down. “Do you have any part in that death?” “That's why I'm here.” “Her father wants revenge.” Adam concluded. “And you, as the Alpha, can free me from that. You can make him forget he ever had a daughter.” Adam became pensive. “Wer
The woman turned over some cards from an ordinary deck, which she took from one of the piles, and looked at them for a few minutes. Then she spoke without looking at him. “I've already been in front of another creature like you.” “Yes. Caricature is just like me.” “No. He's your kind, but he's not like you. No one as powerful as you has yet sat before me.” Adam stared at her coldly. “Caricature didn't tell you what we are.” Adam knew that he would never betray the werewolves' secret. It was forbidden. She turned her eyes to Adam, and they were surprised. “You don't have to tell me what you are. I always know.” “Do you get a lot of monsters here?” “No. You're not a monster and I never take on those who really are monsters.” “Do you have anything else to tell me? Anything I don't know?” She turned her eyes back to the deck. “The woman you love, now... Forget about her. She'll never be yours again.” She said and gathered up the cards, shuffled them again, then
Adam stared at her sharply. “Do you know a way to end this addiction?” “Yes. The woman who ran away from you. She was always the answer... I'm sorry you didn't realize that before.” “How much do you want to tell me another way to get rid of the witch? The woman who... ran away. I intend to bring her back, but she doesn't know her origins and doesn't know she's a mist.” “And when she does, she might turn against you. It was her father who ordered the werewolves to wipe out all her mother's blood.” “You know too much to be safe.” “I can take care of myself.” Adam looked at her with pity. “I can see death looming over you. It won't protect you. It just uses you.” She smiled. “Yes. I know that.” “Are you going to tell me how the mist will develop her talent?” “When the witch is killed, the right way.” “Will I kill her?” “No. It won't be you. It will be the woman you love now.” She said and stood up, expecting him to do the same. But Adam stared at the wo
Adam stared at him, trying to show anger, but he was taken aback, and it amused him. “What did you say to her?” “I said that first you threatened to kill our children and then you used your authority as Alpha and made me do things to your wife that she would never accept me doing to her, and since I'm a werewolf, she knows I can't suppress my instincts...” “Shall we drop this subject?” Kate asked annoyed, but they ignored her. “And that story, did she believe it? Doesn't she know I don't kill children?” “She does. But she hates you for forcing me into something I didn't want, taking advantage of both my subservience and your superior position.” “Did you convince her that the Alpha forced you to stick your penis in a woman, using leader manipulation?” Caricature asked and the men started laughing, and even Jenna and Ryan joined in. Adam was amused, too, but he restrained himself and just watched. “I must warn you, my Alpha, that you must never turn your back on her
