Fateful Collision Chapter 21
Gwen brushed her hair, carefully applied her makeup, put on the blue silk dress, and slipped into the matching heels. She then forced herself to block out everything else and concentrate on getting ready.Twenty minutes later, when her father knocked on the door, she was prepared to answer his questions."Smile, daughter," he instructed me to say. "A joyous occasion has come about."She did not give a response. And when she followed him down the stairs, she didn't crack a smile at all.The huge family room that was being used as the pack's gathering location was filled with a variety of folks who were milling around. As she entered the room on the arm of her father, everyone inside, men, women, and children alike, smiled and nodded. Her mother stood in the middle of Noah's parents and hers. The expression of happiness on her mother's face belied the sadness in her eyes.“Welcome!” Zebedee said jovially. "As you are all aware, the reason we have gathered here tonight is to celebrate th

Gwen gave her surroundings a quick check and let out a sigh of exasperation as she knew where she was. Noah was the one who had brought her to the lair of his pack.She demanded to know, "How long do you intend for you to keep me here?""Until we're married and you give me an heir," she replied. After that, it makes no difference to me what you do or where you go.Gwen looked at him with wide eyes. Noah's attention had always been focused on the politics of the pack. He was the Alpha's oldest son, making him the natural successor to the position of pack leader in the Green Mountain Pack. If he were to take Gwen as his wife, the connection between the Shadow Pack and the Green Mountain Pack would become much stronger. If Noah were to have a child who was the grandchild of any of the pack's Alphas, his position within the pack would be assured.As he carried her toward the home, she screamed at him, "Are you going to keep me tied up until then?" Her voice was filled with malice as she s

On the other side of the fence, he sat on his heels, his forehead furrowed as he peered at the main house, and he appeared to be quite concerned. He was pretty sure he knew everything that was going on inside of there. He was only able to think of one thing that would convince Zebedee to come to the Green Mountain facility.planned nuptials between Gwen and the Grayson heir apparent.Now all that was required of him was to devise a plan to rescue her from their predicament before she was wed to Noah.Raquel took a close look at the three homes that were huddled together behind the tall, electric fence. She had finally tracked down the werewolf girl to this location, which was tucked away in the hills of Mbulachieve. This had taken a lot of trial and error on her part. Now, as she stood in the shifting shadows close to the front entrance, she pondered the most effective means by which she could enter the building and leave without being seen. Compulsion did not work on vampires; she ha

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
