yourself forever. Come, we must see what we can salvage.”

this family a grave dishonor. I cannot dismiss you from your
contract, we still need you to hunt down the werewolves, but you
are no longer welcome to stay within the walls of this castle. I
will have your things moved to the inn at once.”

his response would be as she walked toward the bed, knowing that he
would have no choice but to obey her. She grabbed Saribella by the
arm, and Saribella tried to protest as her mother forcibly dragged
her off the bed, sheets and all, toward the door. Looking back over
her shoulder, Saribella smiled at Grey, mouthing the words, Thank you.
    He grinned, leaning back naked against the
headboard of his bed, winking at her as he mouthed back, No,
thank you.
