Chapter 40

• Vaughn stared down at his son, knowing that he wouldn't be able to escape this time. Giving up his seat just at his command had been a wake-up call of what power Dearil truly possessed and that if he was allowed to live, there would be no one that anyone would be able to stand In his way.
• The mafia girl had been the cause of everything. Who could have thought that a mere human, not even one that powerful could have such an effect on Dearil? She even succeeded in breaking his curse, which was something that Vaughn had been looking forward to fulfilling of it.
• If he had just killed her that night in the woods when he'd come across her, everything that was happening would have been avoided. He should have known better! Vaughn blamed himself for not realizing that a girl that had such an influence over Dearil on their first night of meeting was someone not to take seriously. Her eyes had been fierce, she had looked ready for battle and yet he'd merely ignored every sign that she wasn't just a normal human.
