Gaze Quote by Quinn Loftis
““Understood," Vasile answered. "I would ask that you and your wolves lay low, and treat this as if it were my permanent territory. In other words, don't give me a reason to regret having let you remain here. My Beta, Decebel, will be waiting with her as he is the most neutral party when it comes to Jacque and I think you will need some neutrality while you are, as you said, 'dealing' with Lilly. You will have to let me know how it goes," Vasile said in sarcastic amusement. What is your ETA?" "My Beta says we will arrive in ten minutes." "Ten minutes, how courteous of you to give ample notice of your arrival." Vasile had hung up before Dillon could respond to the jab.””
