to well up in her eyes, which she quickly blinked away. She had no idea that she would develop such a strong attraction to Phil. Her only idea was to disobey her father at that moment. Even if she couldn't pick her own husband, she could at least choose who would be her first lover on her own. She only realized, after it was too late, that she had been caught in her own trap. What had begun as a casual hookup had suddenly developed into something far more serious, at least on her end of the relationship. She quietly climbed out of bed and made her way towards the bathroom. The door was painted the same light blue as the walls, and there was no handle on it, so it was almost impossible to see it was there. She had no idea it was there until Phil interrupted their sexual activity last night and pointed it out to her. If he hadn't done so, she never would have realized it was there. The door was opened by a touch. After stepping beyond the threshold, she immediately locked the door behin

She peered at the liquid with mixed anticipation and loathing. After taking a deep breath, she lifted the cup to her lips. Warm or cold, the taste was very terrible, but the outcomes made the horrible taste worthwhile.Shuddering, she drained the glass in a single gulp, then hurled it into the flames.Only one bottle of the vampire’s blood remained. She would have to use it soon, or it would lose its effectiveness.Time was of the essence.Leaving Gwen to get ready and pack, Phil made a fast trip to a car rental office where he hired a late-model black Lexus. His next destination was a shopping center where he bought two huge luggage for Gwen and a smaller one for himself. He also picked up a case of bottled water, a family-sized bag of chips, and three dozen varied granola bars.Gwen was still folding their clothing when he returned.“Where are we going?” she inquired as she began placing her things in one of the luggage. It wasn’t easy, fitting everything Phil had purchased her into

When they approached their room, Phil proceeded to open the door using the keycard that he had previously inserted into the slot. He cast a cursory glance in every direction, expressing appreciation for the drapes that helped to darken the room."Nice place." Gwen repressed a yawn while she waited for Phil to lock the door, and then she entered the bedroom after he did.Phil remarked, "I don't want you to leave the room," as he set the suitcases down on the flat wooden bench that was located at the foot of the bed. "I'm sorry." "Not in any way, shape, or form. Understand?”Gwen acknowledged this with a nod before hurriedly donning her nightgown and climbing under the covers. After another five minutes, she had fallen asleep.Phil quickly disrobed before climbing into bed next to her and lying down. He kept his eyes on her until the dawn broke, and then he ran blindly into the abyss of forgetfulness.Gwen sat up, yawning. A quick peek to her right revealed that Phil had, as far as the

She supported herself on one elbow as she examined his face, her fingertips delicately following the line of his mouth, his brow, and his nose as she did so. She began by stroking his neck before moving on to his shoulder and then down his arm. She positioned her hand so that her palm was resting on his chest, and then she moved her fingers from his flat belly all the way down to his waist.When his palm wrapped over hers, she let out a startled cry, and her throat appeared to be tightening.He mumbled something under his breath while staring at her with his eyes squinted and saying, "Some of us are trying to sleep here.""I thought you only woke up when there was an immediate threat to your life?""I was awakened by your thoughts." His eyes began to burn with rage. "The siren song of your desire is one that no man, living or dead, could possibly ignore."Gwen felt herself blushing at his words, which were almost lyrical. However, it was the contact of his hand gliding up and down her

"Phil," she mumbled to herself. "Perhaps it would be best if we..." The peacefulness of the night was rudely interrupted by a mournful howl, which caused her head to snap up."You don't have any fear of wild animals, do you?" Phil questioned with a sly smirk on his face.Gwen stated, "It's not just any old wolf," in response to the question. "That's my dad," the man said.Phil shot an eye upward. The night sky was illuminated by a thin crescent moon. "I thought the only time your people changed was when the moon was full?""At any given time, Alpha could shift."He grumbled, "You neglected to mention that little fact," as he pointed out his oversight.“Did I? A couple of the other wolves can likewise change their appearance whenever they want.Phil said, "I'm not worried about them," while dismissing his concerns with a wave of his hand. "Do you think your father knows that we're here?""I really don't know." Her eyes traveled over the mountain range. "I don't think that's the case. A

She gave that some thought for a second before settling on a grin and said, "Phil Marty, come in, and welcome."Following her into the house with a sardonic look, he walked across a tiled entryway, into a living room furnished in earth tones, and down a broad corridor lined on both sides with family photographs. All of these locations were within the house. They went through a number of rooms with the doors closed before entering a lounge that was paneled in a deep, dark mahogany.Phil positioned her bag so that it was next to the entrance of the room, and then he stood there with his arms crossed over his chest while he surveyed the space.There was an old rolltop desk against one wall, and a bookcase that went all the way to the ceiling against the opposite wall. In one of the nooks there was a collection of what appeared to be four comfortable chairs as well as a pair of love seats, all of which were upholstered in a deep red cloth.Gwen's father sat down on one of the love chairs,

"Good morning," her mother greeted her with a bright smile. "I was going to make another stack of pancakes for your father when you called. Would you like some?""You're welcome, Mom. Is there anything I can do to assist you?"No, there's no need," they replied. "everything's ready.""Where can I find Greta?" They frequently shared meals with her aunt and uncle. "She has traveled into the town. "Brett accompanied her on the trip."Gwen made a small nod before sitting down across from her father and reaching for the coffee kettle. It was business as usual for him, with his head buried in the paper, which was exactly what she wanted. When she was anxious about Phil's location, she was not in the mood for meaningless small talk at all. She was focused on finding him.She took a drink of her coffee, which was exactly what she required to get her day going and get her thoughts organized; it was steaming hot, full-bodied, and pitch black.The page was turned by her father. He made the rema

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
