Mara remained in that room the whole day and the next.It was unexpected, the sudden feeling of imprisonment. She had fallen asleep on the floor close to the door, waiting for someone to come around.She sat down there for a long time amidst her hurting feet. It was sometime in her haziness and exhaustion that the doors opened.Mara fell aside as it was open inwards, and her back was to the door while she slept.She grunted painfully as she heard a foot hasten up to her."I'm sorry. I had no idea." The person was saying.She had come to believe it was just Sonya and Sebastian living alone in this castle, so hearing another voice startled her. She looked up to find a man in armor assisting her. He helped her to her feet and supported her until they got to the bed where she sat.She was confused."Um… who are you?" Mara asked him, looking pretty much confused at what was going on."I believe we have not yet been introduced properly. I'm Holmes, and we were on patrol when you were broug

"You had no right being out there and bringing him to my castle, woman," he said as he turned suddenly to face her.Mara followed him instantly when she heard him say he would send someone to get rid of the wounded man on the bed.She could not understand why a man like him would be cruel to someone else, but then he had to turn to her and tell her that she had no right."You said you would get rid of him." she pressed onto the subject so he would not change it.Sebastian frowned, "I would not have you bring in strays and unfamiliar beings to my castle. Not even if you are my...my... forget it." he said and made to turn away.He could not believe he had almost said those words out loud.How could he refer to her as his mate when he knew well enough he could and would not accept that responsibility ever? He needed to get away from her before he said any more wrong things, but she would not allow him. The woman was so stubborn and determined to get whatever she wanted.Perhaps even he

There was tension in the air. Probably not hers at the moment but in his own space.Sebastian was forcing himself not to react or seem overly protective of the frail Woman when he wanted nothing to do with her.But now, Silas was overstepping his bounds, and Sebastian was not sure how to classify his actions. Perhaps he was intentionally trying to provoke him when after she introduced herself to him, he took her hand in his and kissed the back of it.His wolf shifted angrily within him, and he felt so much displeasure. To make it worse, his brother had looked at him in a cocky manner after doing that without leaving her hand.Sebastian flashed him a warning before she could notice by bringing up his wolf's eyes briefly. Then he cleared his throat. She looked at him now, and although he wanted not to be angry, he could not help being mad at her.He cleared his throat to make her realize what was happening while glaring at the hand holding hers.He noticed how she held his brother's han

Waking up that morning, Mara had quite a lot on her mind. The previous night had been hard on her as all she thought about was circling Sebastian and his life story. There were so many questions on her mind and so many regrets.When she had gone inside the previous night, Old Sonya had been waiting still for her. Poor old woman,she was watching over the werewolf she had dragged home and had worn herself out. When Mara entered the room, she was seated on a chair and sleeping.Mara had woken her up and escorted her to her room after insisting she would watch over the man who she doubted his status after her eavesdropping revelation.The young man on her bed looked pretty much young and seemed like he was much younger thanSebastian and Silas. He was dashing with blonde hair, although hers was way lighter. He needed to wake up soon enough to avoid irritating Sebastian further.Mara had drawn the chair up close and sat down to watch him. The night had not been easy as she was busy mappi

Mara had never been more frightened than she was at that moment when the young man suddenlygrabbed her unexpectedly.She felt her heart do a little huddle and back again as she froze for a moment on the spot.Slowly, she turned around to see what had caused the sudden grip of the young man.Ever since she had rescued him, she had been waiting to see what beautiful eyes lay behind those closed lids of the handsome young face because that was the only way she could tell if he was indeed a werewolf or not, which she hoped would not be because it will justify her defense of him against Sebastian on how wrong he was judging the young man as a werewolf.However, if she had made a bet with her life on that, she would have lost it woefully because the moment she turned, her eyes stared back at eyes that were not deemed humanlike, and I knew instantly that I had been wrong all along. This one had a strange color like the others that had attacked her in theforest but nothing similar to Sebast
