Beauty-and-the-werewolf Quote by Mercedes Lackey
““But--" she tried not to wail, but her voice crept upward, anyway "--I want to go HOME--" "And I want a palace and a handsome, young prince who has an unnatural lust for old women, and neither of us are going to get what we crave, so let's concentrate on what we can do something about!" Granny said sharply.””
