The same dream had happened about three times now, and all she would see was a vision of the moon only that it seemed she was looking at it from a particular spot in the castle. The place was dark, and the window from which she saw was tiny. The next thing she heard was the rattling movement of chains. Not just any kind of chains, but these were heavy. She would then look down and see the chain attached to her leg firmly. The light of the moon would reflect on her different hair. It was black instead of blonde. The entire flashes were followed by her seeming to inhale something musky and then a lot of screaming in pain. It was always at the point of hearing the sound of a bone breaking that Mara found herself waking up. She had decided against telling Sebastian about the dream, knowing well enough that there was absolutely nothing he could do about it. He had expressed his fears against people that see things, especially as they always turn out to be sorceress and evil. She did no

Hearing his words, it dawned on her that what had happened earlier with the beast in the forest was him.It was undoubtedly Sebastian, and to think he had scared her and acted the way he did, Mara opted to tell a lie instead."I wasn't outside. You saw me inside," she said to him but without confidence."Do not lie to me," he said and flashed those eyes she had caught glimpses of in the forest.A part of Mara had suspected that it had been Sebastian as she had seen those eyes before, but when he ran off the first time, she became scared on second thoughts that what if that had been Grimshaw.She could have become toast by this time.Well, since he desired to know her reason for being outside, and she had no idea why she was there, she decided to tell him the first thing that came to her mind."I have no idea. I must have stepped out at some point and needed air," she said to him."Air in the forest? Nothing makes sense, woman," he yelled at herSeeing how he was acting towards her, "L

Not sure about what was going on, Maria's words registered with her, and she realized that instead of being in the cell with her, they were in a place that looked like a vast space with no sign of life.She looked around and wondered how they got there and how Maria was no longer bound by the chains holding her secured in the cell. She also realized that earlier, when she moved toward Maria, she had floated instead of walking.Confused, she wondered what was happening and how everything around them had suddenly changed. However, it suddenly dawned on her what was happening and where she was.She... or rather, they were still there in the cell but mentally elsewhere.They seem to be in another dimension...No, that doesn't sound right... she thought.Not another dimension...rather...Then it clicked...She was in the girl's head.But how she got there evaded her.And thinking more clearly about it, it was almost the same way she could not explain how she ended up in the woods that nig

Gemma wanted to tongue-lash Mara for trying to order them around. Still, the look in Sebastian's eyes reminded her suddenly that the pathetic human was his said mate. She was mated to Silas and knew very well how that felt, and she could feel Sebastian's pain at rejecting the one the gods had given him. The gods were cruel, however, to have played him so with such an excuse for a mate. She had a growing suspicion now more than ever for the girl. Before, it was mere dislike at the fact that she was human and Grimshaw wanted her leading to the deaths of werewolves and humans alike, but now it increased to suspicion of sorcery. She never knew Esmeralda, but from the stories she had heard about her, and what had happened between them, she feared for Sebastian that he might fall into the wrong hands again. That was everyone's fear, but despite her ordinary nature, Gemma found Mara too good to be true. Sebastian could not believe that woman at all. They were werewolves, after all, a

"Just now...in anger. Liar!!!" she yelled at him.He did not like being referred to as a liar or what he was feeling at this point. He rose from the edge of the table and stood facing her."You think I don't burn too? Do you think I'm heartless? All I do is for your good and safety. I avoid saying your name because I don't want to hurt you ever." he said"I don't care if you do," she whispered under her breath"But I do. I care, Mara. I keep seeing you every time. I keep fighting not to grab you knowing that if I do, I cannot stop." he said"Then grab me," she said and stepped forward, reaching for his hand. He made to pull away, but she caught his right hand. Mara had no experience with men, but certainly, she did not mind learning with a man she was destined for. She took his palm, placed it on her chest reassuringly, and then looked him straight in the eyes. She could see that even as he tried fighting it, he was on the verge of crying himself. That was enough for her. They had to
