Ha yeah. Well there are s...I know how that goes :)<br /><br />Ha yeah. Well there are some places that state Jazz got it's start in the 1600s around the time of the Atlantic Slave trades. And still others who claim that the movement started in the mid-late 1800s but really taking off in the States around the mid 1900s. So I used what resources I had and placed the location in a foreign country because no one can 100% say "there was no jazz here". The fact that also Ulrick is black, placing this all somewhere other than the States helps sell the point :)<br /><br />Haha yes, I love watching him tickle the ivories and so does Izzy whether she admits it or not. Aww yeah, he wanted to prove to her how he felt and she knew that. They mated but never bonded and she could feel how much he cared for her. There are other reasons (as we'll learn later) as to why she didn't bond with him and why she pushed him away. But the excuse she used about not feeling like the complete wolf wasn't too far off the mark and was a reason she didn't want to harm her lover anymore than she already has.<br /><br />It was completely selfish of her but she's done worse, way worse. It will all be explained, absolutely. And when Ulrick finds it out, he's not going to be pleased.<br /><br />Thank you for reading :)DaijahVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03685128767947355934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873546655984283437.post-67094836147721754222013-05-12T14:59:24.105-04:002013-05-12T14:59:24.105-04:00Read this late last night and didn't have the ...Read this late last night and didn't have the functioning brain cells to comment, so I'm doing it now.<br /><br />Jazz in the 1700s? :-) I get it tho, different world. Damn, Ulrick is one sexy sonofabitch sitting at the piano. No pun intended. That love scene was wonderfully bittersweet since we knew to an extent what was coming. It just breaks my heart and moderately pisses me off that she has such a negative self-image. They can sense their mate's emotions, so she should Know how Ulrick really feels. Iguess she just can't get past the scar on her face.<br />Jerk-ass witches.

His constant attention and trips are to ensure she knows without a doubt how much he truly wants to be with her and how much he cares. She's definitely making it hard for him to have the loving relationship he's wanted for so long but he won't ever give up on her. <br /><br />LOL Luther's just misunderstood! Really :D ok I couldn't say that without laughing. He's forever meddling and trying to find a way to grind Lobo's nerves, this is just one more foothold!<br /><br />Thank you for reading :)DaijahVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03685128767947355934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873546655984283437.post-73225954467283200362012-04-26T08:41:57.263-04:002012-04-26T08:41:57.263-04:00Rick really loves her!

To go from being so in love to that has to be hurting them both but I love that Rick won't give up.<br /><br />Luther...his middle name should be Bad Business because thats all I think when I see him!Qui.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00025642400085205427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873546655984283437.post-77057811791982712512012-04-07T07:59:27.333-04:002012-04-07T07:59:27.333-04:00Aww sorry to hear about your computer! I've be...Aww sorry to hear about your computer! I've been wondering about chapter 2 of Merciless (missed the announcement). I hope things get sorted out for you soon!<br /><br />Ulrick was very much into sleeping around until he met his mate, that gives hope to Connor as well! Now he is 100% about his mate and doing what he can to keep her alive and well. He told her he would never go anywhere and he meant it. She's stuck with him whether she wants it or not. <br /><br />LOL Luther sees the perfect angle to get at Greymane through Ulrick or at least to weaken them by continuing to push his agenda and delay their blood bond. He will make good on his promise to help her get herself back but that's as far as it goes. Will he kill her? Keep Ulrick and by association Greymane weakened denying the bond? Or steal her for his own pack? There's something definitely brewing in him...he is never 100% as he seems.<br /><br />Sonja is working to ensure her life isn't threatened. She was told by Luther that if she fails him again she would die and he meant that. He will not put up with her failures or anyone else's for that matter. When he gives them an order he expects it will be followed through!<br /><br />Isabella is very scared about weakening Ulrick. She's depressed, scarred, diminished in her power and once they are bonded that all becomes shared. She doesn't want that for Ulrick. She needs to get back to who she was and then she will be more than happy to complete their bond. <br /><br />Harley doesn't care if all the wolves feed on humans or not. He just knows that any wolf has the potential to do that and so in his book that makes them all dangerous. But they are absolutely the monsters in this case. The way they can easily read a "human" half with the beast of a werewolf shows just how vile the hunters are as well!<br /><br />Thank you for reading!DaijahVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03685128767947355934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873546655984283437.post-8377327688745982792012-04-07T07:47:29.671-04:002012-04-07T07:47:29.671-04:00Ulrick truly loves Isabella but she's too depr...Ulrick truly loves Isabella but she's too depressed and stuck in her own head to hear him. She knows what their bonding would do and the idea alone kills her. Ulrick definitely needs some loving and a hug. He has a mate he cannot be with because she refuses him yet he will never leave her. <br /><br />HAHA I couldn't call that a threat Eden! It sounds like some sort of kinky sex game :P Well now the one to Izzy is definitely a threat. She's ready to get back to herself and Luther has offered her the opportunity to do so, something Ulrick never has. She feels that if she agrees and Luther comes through on his offer then she and Rick can complete their bond and she won't have to worry about hurting him any longer.<br /><br />The hunters are the exact same only without the cool year round winter coat! They kill, maim, torture and all without concern over the person that's beneath the wolf. They see one thing and one thing only: a monster that must be destroyed.<br /><br />Thank you for reading :)DaijahVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03685128767947355934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873546655984283437.post-5634195578801821742012-04-07T07:43:01.087-04:002012-04-07T07:43:01.087-04:00Both actually.

She was scarred during the First Wolf War by a hunter and since she disobeyed/ignored the seers they prevented her from healing by placing a curse on her. <br /><br />The hunters definitely straddle the fence over morally correct and baseless monster themselves but they feel every wolf has the capability to cause real damage and therefore all of them must go!<br /><br />Luther has his eyes on the prize. With Greymane being the strongest pack in the territory he knows in order to get what he wants most he must destroy them, weaken them or kill them all! He'll stop at nothing to get what he wants!<br /><br />Thank you for reading :)DaijahVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03685128767947355934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873546655984283437.post-7774885541419231922012-04-07T07:39:24.328-04:002012-04-07T07:39:24.328-04:00Thank you!

The nightclub and beach were great scenes and I enjoyed shooting them I am happy to hear they look just as great! <br /><br />Isabella was unflinching when she told Ulrick he was her mate and he believed her and came to realize she was right. And now that she is pushing away it hurts him. Ulrick has done everything he could to show Isabella how much he cares. He visits her twice a week and still she has denied him. She is vain but she also feels as though she's lost a major part of herself and until she can get it back or at least feel better she can't be what Ulrick wants or needs. It's somewhat selfish on her part but she is mostly thinking about him. She doesn't want him to have his strength and power diminished once they are bonded because she's weakened. <br /><br />The hunters are the ones that belong behind those cages. The way they mistreat those poor animals is both inhumane and scary. They feel though that these beasts are merciless foul monsters out to pillage and destroy and it is their duty to stop them!<br /><br />Thank you for reading :)DaijahVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03685128767947355934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873546655984283437.post-53347399333271098382012-04-07T07:34:40.672-04:002012-04-07T07:34:40.672-04:00Thank you! :)

I can't even finish that sentence :P I am trying to make him delicious...sexy and evil :)<br /><br />Thank you for reading!DaijahVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03685128767947355934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873546655984283437.post-36593445137996458042012-04-07T07:27:17.632-04:002012-04-07T07:27:17.632-04:00Thank you! I thought the flashback was bittersweet...Thank you! I thought the flashback was bittersweet but Ulrick made it very clear that he loves Isabella very much and will stop at nothing to complete their blood bond.<br /><br />Isabella doesn't feel beautiful and when you feel as strongly about something like that it's hard to hear someone tell you the opposite and believe them. She knew what she was once and knows that it is now lost. For Izzy it wasn't about being mated. For Kaya the same COULD happen to her if she were to disobey. The witches are all about keeping a balance and if they are not listened to that balance would be lost...they take their trade some other way.<br /><br />You're right but the hunters haven't met a wolf they could like :)<br /><br />Thank you for reading!DaijahVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03685128767947355934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873546655984283437.post-44560768832986160512012-04-07T07:23:28.291-04:002012-04-07T07:23:28.291-04:00Hmm? What? :)
She has known Luther for much longe...Hmm? What? :)<br /><br />She has known Luther for much longer than she's known Ulrick (no excuse I know). But he has offered her something she's desired most, something Ulrick never word: vengeance. She wants to get back her old self not ignore what happened to her and move forward. As we see, she's still stuck there.<br /><br />Rick knows but he cannot go against the seers. Naturally wolves are social creatures, they would have both been banned had they defied the seers marked and branded from joining another pack. Neither of them wanted that but Izzy was more than willing to ignore their previous warnings which is why they left her scarred.<br /><br />She knows he loves her and she loves him just as much which is why she won't let him get stuck with a lame mate as she calls herself. She isn't the once powerful wolf she was and once united they would not reach their full power potential because of it. She hates the thought of weakening him.<br /><br />The hunters believe they are morally strong characters. There is no gray area with them it's all cut and dry: beast musts die!<br /><br />Thank you for reading :)DaijahVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03685128767947355934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873546655984283437.post-34899376664144491232012-04-07T03:37:28.286-04:002012-04-07T03:37:28.286-04:00Okay wow. Reading and commenting on this is well o...Okay wow. Reading and commenting on this is well over due, but my computer is broken (of course).<br /><br />Wow.. I didn't know Ulrick was that.... Intense. For some reason I always thought he was a little more like a Cecil then a Connor, if you catch my drift. He seems really enveloped in Isabella.<br /><br />That's right Luther, hit below the belt ;). Okay so here comes Luther and his bitch Sonja trying to persuade yet another powerful wolf to join them. Surprise surprise. That's my Luther all right ;). Always one to be power hungry.<br /><br />Although Sonja wasn't mentioned very much in this episode, the bitch seemed real plucked. S's following Luther like he holds her life line(WHICH HE DOES! >:D), and she was probably scared for her life.<br /><br />Okay Isabella, calm down. You have a man that loves you and you're worried about a skin imperfection. Puh-lease. So dramatic!<br /><br />Okay the hunters need to get their facts straight. I've never much liked them, and they're always trying to kill out a race of wolfs. Harley is trying to show humans that wolves are deadly creatures, but bodies rarely ever end up mangled and the meat stores get a lot of funds in.<br /><br />This was such a good chapter. ;)Amentihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11656253202459448617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873546655984283437.post-35113846707655013632012-04-07T00:05:14.096-04:002012-04-07T00:05:14.096-04:00Ulrick is like the sweetest thing ever!

Isabella is lucky to have him, and i do believe she loves him, i think she's "rolling in self pity" still. What happened to her was awful, but she wasn't left alone. Ulrick stood by her and still does, she can't seem to get past her own insecurities and bitterness well enough to see what she has, not what she was.<br /><br />Oh Luther, I just want to spank your evil little behind... really, i do=b. And if Isabella joins Luther i will beat her ass..wake up girl! My fear is she will lose it all because she just can not see what she has, and when she does it may be too late.<br /><br />The Hunters. They see the wolves as horrible beasts and killers, but are they any better? They do what they hate the wolves for doing, yay for hypocrisy!...edenzAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873546655984283437.post-55529992941084186512012-04-06T14:13:37.406-04:002012-04-06T14:13:37.406-04:00It was really nice getting to learn some of Ulrick...It was really nice getting to learn some of Ulrick's story. He really loves Izzy, still even with her scar and all. I was wondering did the hunters scar her or the witches curse her to keep the scar? <br />The hunters walk a very fine line. They think they are saving people by killing wolves. They are still murderers in my book! Not every wolf feeds off of humans but they don't take that into consideration.<br />Okay Luther. You really need to quit. He will do anything to get to Greymane. Now he's targeting Ulrick. I wonder what the outcome will be if Izzy actually does join him? I know Ulrick will be heartbroken.Luv4gajhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17326130574805162429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873546655984283437.post-29314934353346235622012-04-05T04:53:34.097-04:002012-04-05T04:53:34.097-04:00Beautiful pictures, always.

He obviously absolutely adores her and she is speaking with the enemy who is appealing to her vanity. For a promise of revenge she would betray a soulmate? Bad Isabella, I don't like you. Makes me think her confidence Luther remembers was all a farce, hiding a weakness behind beauty and name. <br /><br />The hunters are absolutely crazed and dangerous.

I wonder if the seers had told her not to become mated with Ulrick and she disobeyed. Maybe that is the reason for her being cursed. If so, I hope that the same won't happen to Kaya!<br /><br />I agree with Jaz, I hate the hunters too!

Rick has been there for her for 3 fucking centuries, knows Luther is a rival pack yet she is there and thinking over his offer. NOT COOL MS. LEE!!!! And what is this about her being cursed? What did she go against the seers on and why did they feel the need to curse her. It sounds like the scar could have been taken care of if not for that curse? Does Rick know this?<br /><br />Ok seeing their love story is sad. She is so caught up in her looks that she has ignored his love for 3 centuries. That is a crazy level of vain and self pity.<br /><br />The hunters. I can't stand them. Not all of the wolves are monsters yet they are trying to wipe them out.
