But once they reached out, I had no problem using my skills to help out, but I just never got as involved as some, like Memnon. My interest never changed from then to now, and quite frankly, I kept my hand in because I get a high from bringing down men like Ricci. Men and women who shit all over the world with their bullshit while pretending to be angels. I want them all exposed and made to pay for their misdeeds.

Despite the lump in his throat, Dominick's voice was strong as he spoke while the flames grew. "Today, we pay tribute to the fallen. They sacrificed their life to ensure our existence and future. Their sacrifice will not be in vain, and we will never forget them. With a gentle power in her voice, Lisa took a step forward. They battled for this pack with bravery, devotion, and love. Rebuilding, moving on, and creating a society where their sacrifices were not in vain are all things we owe to them.

“Ladies, sorry, the Chance ride has been closed. There are several other men that are still available.” Trigg laughed as Karan stood up. “And Karan, yes, I see that you are willing to volunteer as tribute. This is their crazy wedding; you get Elvis tomorrow.” Trigg muttered something under his breath. “Do you have rings?” Trigg asked and Celt handed over the rings that had been in his cut pocket. “Awesome. Young lady, are you sure you want to marry this idiot?” “I’m an S.O.B. not an idiot.” Chance corrected.

"Sir, I don't have any cash on me. But if you let us go up or guide us there, I'll transfer you 5,000 dollars. How's that sound?" The man hesitated, then glanced behind him. "Ten thousand, and I'll consider taking you." When Aria frowned and looked ready to leave, the man quickly changed his tone. "8,000 dollars. That's the lowest I can go. The village chief said no outsiders were allowed in the event, and I could get in trouble if I actually brought you in." At that, Aria turned and asked, "Event? What kind of event?" "It's a ritual—a tribute to the gods. Very lively. Every household gets meat to eat. Outsiders like you never get to see this kind of thing. Especially northerners—I can tell

I say quickly. His expression doesn’t change. "Didn’t say you were." "Then why offer me a job?" "Because I don’t like seeing things I own treated like garbage." Things I own, not people, not person, things. Before I can form an appropriately scathing response, he takes my hand. His palm is huge and warm and rough against mine as he turns my wrist over carefully. Looks at the bruises darkening already, turns and walks away. “I’ll be waiting for your call.”

Mable glanced at the shattered pieces on the floor and gave an exaggerated account. When Trisha turned toward me, she looked me over for a few seconds, then snapped, "What's wrong with you? Is this how you treat guests? Don't forget who you are." After I married Caspian, I barely appeared in public, so most employees in his companies didn't recognize me. I gave a short laugh and unhurriedly said, "If you don't know who I am, ask your chairman." Trisha froze, then she scowled. "You slut! What makes you think you're worthy of meeting our chairman?

Raimere’s breath hitched and her body trembled more from anguish, than from the fear and pain that she felt at encountering a life and death ordeal. “Don’t worry, the Rogue Kingdom’s yearly tribute is just a week’s away, and it’s the perfect time for our clan to give tributes while helping you apologize for your offense to the Valerius clan.” Her father gave a satisfied smile that seemed to portray that everything worked out well. “We will give that half-breed as an extra tribute to the Valerius clan, and they will surely accept it willingly, cause even if she is a half-breed, that bastard child of mine was still born with a lunar gift.”

"She used me? I was just a sacrifice?" "You were a pawn," I said, watching her carefully. "And pawns are meant to be traded. Do you really want to be that for the rest of your life?"
