  &quot;What do you think?&quot;
  &quot;About what?&quot; Willow asked her gaze, staring straight at the building.
  &quot;Do you think Elite Parker is the one behind this?&quot; Lothaire asked beside her as they looked at his hideout that they learned about last night.
  &quot;No. Call it a gut feeling... but it seems too easy, too simple. Anyone can find his location for some bucks. This doesn't add up.&quot;
  &quot;Do you think he crossed us?&quot;
  &quot;No. He is not the kind. I still can't believe you treated me like a dog before that vampire.&quot;
  &quot;Well, he didn't suspect a thing. That's what matters. And look at the bright side, you are groaning which is a better improvement over your growling&quot;
  Willow noticed his pale complexion. He is paler, much paler than normal for a vampire which means he is Low on blood.
  &quot;You are looking pale, Bones. Are you sure yo

  &quot;Now what!&quot; Willow thought, unknowingly saying it out loud.
  &quot;We will find out a way,&quot; Lothaire who sat beside her on the front seat of the truck replied calmly as he leaned back and relaxed.

  &quot;Relax, Tinkerbell. No need to stress. You will wrinkle that pretty face&quot;
  &quot;You-&quot;
  &quot;Could you please watch where you drive, woman?&quot; Lothaire said loudly, getting her attention.
  Willow steered the vehicle in the nick of time just before it was about to collide with a tree.
  &quot;Sorry,&quot; Willow muttered.
  &quot;It's becoming a habit for you, doesn't it? You do it and then say sorry&quot;
  &quot;Don't grumble vampire, I said sorry&quot;
  They both kept quiet as Willow drove along. Tension rose in the ensuing silence, each lost in their own thoughts.
  &quot;Do you think the guy we met yes

  The room the mage lay in is dark, damp, filled with the rustic smell of her blood. Its gloominess is bringing her down. Every part of her body ached. The chains biting into her wrists, cutting her skin, changing them raw.
  She is drained from the numerous bites HE took from her. She needs a plan soon. A plan that will make him release her.
  Henrietta, the mage, thought she had everything under control. Within seconds she would be the most powerful in all five kingdoms. But one woman, only one woman made her well-laid plans go awry.
  Now she is stuck here in this psychos room, bound to the bedpost while he did sickening things to her that she never thought possible.
  She is past tears. With each passing day, she fears she cannot take much more of this torture. She needs to do something before HE finds another mage to help her and completely get rid of her.
  She thought she was up f
