Daryn looked into her eyes. "I am serious, baby. In fact I will add another ten million dollars to the offer that your client has made. They are taking it for fifteen million. I will take it for twenty five million." He picked up a glass of wine and sipped the sparkly liquid. "Daryn, I don't want your charity!" she sounded annoyed. "Why do you think it's charity Dawn?" he asked with all seriousness. "It is purely a business decision. I like your company, got it evaluated by my people and they feel…-

The fact that there wasn't a single other customer in the restaurant made Dawn uneasy. When she asked the waiter who had come to take her order, he said, "Ms. Silver, this entire place is booked under our client's name." "You mean that all tables are reserved by her?" she asked. Mrs. Wilson was one wealthy woman and what was the point of reserving all the tables. It was pretty strange. "Yes, all the tables of the entire hotel are reserved by him," said the waiter with a polite smile. "And he has…

"Yes, speaking," said Dawn as she looked at her computer screen, which was booting. "Good morning, Miss Silver. I am calling from Juniper Hospital and we have your Grandmother, Mrs. Lily Wyatt in the emergency room." Dawn's face twisted into an indescribable expression. "I am sorry but you have called the wrong person. You should call Cecilia McDow, her Granddaughter." The last person she would have felt any sympathy was Lily Wyatt. "But Ms. Silver, she is in bad condition and—" Dawn cut her…

"That's quite a good amount," said Dawn with interest in her eyes. "How did you come to know about him and why hasn't the buyer contacted me directly?" Those questions reeled in her mind at the moment. "He contacted me through some government official I know, and I was even surprised when I received the call. They wouldn't have had your number to call or it is possible that they kind of sent their feelers in the market first just to test if you were even willing," said Hans Müller. "Buyers won't come…

Lily Wyatt's anger was apparent on her face. Her secretary, a young man in his early thirties, was standing near her as she looked at the screen. Those numbers were simply… not adding. "Why is this report so badly made?" she asked. "It has been perfectly—" "Shut up!" she cut off her secretary. "Call the head of finance. Why do I see so many discrepancies?" "But Madam, there are no—" "Silence!" she barked at him with jerky head movement. "Who are you to advise me on this? Call the Finance…

Daryn cringed a little when she said call the clan people for the party. "I think it is too soon. Already I know that there are resentments amongst them according to my report, so if I were you, I would wait." Dawn cocked her head to the left and said, "Daryn, don't you think that I am aware of this situation? But somehow I feel that I need to strike their chords sooner because the more we wait, the more time we are giving them to ponder over the incident the more they will find faults with us. If I…

Daryn was surprised, but he was so happy for him. He darted to his bedroom and narrated to Dawn what Caleb wanted to do. Pleased that Caleb wanted to move on, she said, "When he will reach there, the caretaker will be standing with the keys. If you want I can ask Arawn to collect him from the airport too." She became so excited to talk about Yorkshire. Now that she thought about them, that place was lovely and so quaint that she actually missed it. "If you like I can fill Caleb with all the details about…

While Dawn and Daryn knew this was coming, Gayle narrowed his eyes. "Caleb, Pia is going to get banished from the clan. Unmarking her would mean that she would be completely disowned by all. Even her family members won't be able to accept. Besides for unmarking, we need rings of both the groom and his bride, which will be given to the Shaman and he will burn them in the fires of Goddess Skadi's temple. That's the only way that werewolf couples who aren't the mates, can be unmarked." "I know…" Caleb…

The Lunar Council members came right on time. Flanked by white robed members the Shaman looked ominous in his black robes. When Dawn walked to where they were sitting, the Shaman stared at her from under his thick white eyebrows until she greeted him and sat down. Daryn sat right beside her whereas Gayle sat on a lone sofa opposite the Shaman. Moments later Caleb joined them, looking extremely tired and pensive. He hadn't shaved and his black stubble over his pale face stood starkly. There were dark…

Alone on the floor of the parking area, Pia looked at the car that sped off and disappeared in the blackness of the night. Her cheek was burning with the tight slap that Caleb had given her a while back. Tears were flowing out. She scrambled to her haunches and got up. She was shaking and was not able to maintain her balance. She walked with a quivering body and mind to lean on the car that was standing nearby. The princess of her clan, which was the second most powerful clan amongst Lykae, was now…
