Prince of Wolves

I second that motion, Sally said.
I third it, Jen put in.
You cant third something you dork, you just say 'aye' to show you are in agreement, Sally informed her.
Jen just stuck her tongue out at Sally and ignored her comment.
You arent going to be bonding with anyone but me! he growled.
Yeah, yeah, beat your chest if you need to while youre at it, Tarzan, Jacquelyn said sarcastically.
Ive requested my Alpha be present at the fight. It will take two days for him to arrive. I was going to try and have Sorin smuggle you and your mom out of the country, but Lucas suspected as much and is putting your house under watch by his wolves. However, he is not aware that Sorin is staying here, so that is to our benefit. Should I lose
You will NOT lose! Jacquelyn said firmly.
Fane continued as if she had not spoken. Sorin will get you and your mom to safety. You must promise me, Luna, that you will go with him and let my Pack keep you safe.
I will make no such promise because nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing, is going to happen to you. If you get as much as a scratch on your handsome face Im going to kick your werewolf a- before Jacquelyn could finish Fane had his mouth on hers, kissing her firmly.
Finally, I get some action! Jen exclaimed.
When Fane finally pulled back from Jacquelyn, she looked a little dazed. She quickly recovered, however. You just kissed me, she said, her words full of confusion.
I did, love, Fane responded with a sly grin.
In front of my mom! Jacquelyn said, clearly embarrassed.
And Sorin and your friends as well, Fane pointed out, sounding smug.
Dont be a smart ass, Jacquelyn told him.
Fane stood up and, looking at his watch, realized he only had ten minutes left with his mate. It infuriated him that he had to obey the rules of the challenge, but if he didn't he could wind up having to forfeit and lose her. The thought made his heart hurt. He pulled her up off the loveseat to him, and again not caring of their audience, kissed her like it might be their last. He held her face tenderly in his hands and tried to memorize her features, how soft her skin was. He pulled back abruptly and turned away, overwhelmed with such strong emotions he didnt know what to do. He wanted to crush something; he wanted blood, the blood of the one who dared to take his mate. He was breathing hard and his eyes were glowing when Jacquelyn spoke.
You kissed me again! she said, stomping her foot like a child. Is PDA a big thing with your pack, cause that could be a problem, she continued, but stopped as soon as Fane turned to face her.
Chapter 21
Jacques breath caught when Fane turned towards her and she saw his eyes glowing, like when you see an animal at night and light hits their eyes. They looked just like that. Freaky, she thought.
Jacque realized, once she got over the shock of his eyes, that Fane was on the verge of losing control. She wasn't sure what might happen if he didnt regain control, and she could tell he was fighting for it as hard as he could. She didnt know what to do or how could she help him.
Jacque was too busy staring at Fane to realize that Jen had walked beside her. He needs you to tame the beast that is roaring inside him. Go to him, Jen whispered and pushed Jacque towards Fane.
Jacque looked at Jen and then at Sally. She couldnt believe something so profound had come out of Jens mouth.
Sally shrugged. Who knew? she said, answering Jacques unspoken question.
Jacque turned her attention back to Fane as she walked to him. She was close enough that she could feel his breath on her face. She reached up and laid her hand on his cheek. His eyes closed and he leaned into her hand like a dog begging to be petted. Jacque found herself smiling, but then felt his anger, fear, and jealousy flow through her. Fanes eyes snapped open and he stared unblinkingly into her eyes.
I have not meant to scare you. I would say that my wolf is the one out of control, but that would be a lie. The man is just as out of control as the wolf right now and that makes me very dangerous, Fane shared his thoughts with her.
You would never hurt me, Jacque told him in complete confidence.
No, it is impossible for a Grey to harm his mate. Others, however, innocent or not, cannot have that promise. I have to go, Jacquelyn. Lucas wolves will be here any minute, and in the state I am in I cannot guarantee I will be civilized with them, Fane told her.
Jacque was shaking her head before he even finished speaking. I dont want you to go, she whispered.
Fane pulled her to the side and turned so that his back was facing the others and she was shielded from their sight. He moved her hair away from her neck and kissed her in the same spot he had before, the spot where he would leave his mark. It better be his mark, Jacque thought.
I love you, Luna.
What does Luna mean? she asked him.
I will tell you soon, but now is not the time. I must go before the other wolves get here. He held her a moment more, then stepped away.
Jacque snatched his hand before he could get much further and pulled him to her. She looked him in the eyes, still seeing the wolf glowing there.
I love you, but if you let this Alpha take me as his mate, I will die just so I can come kick your royal Romanian butt. Got it?
I third it, Jen put in.
You cant third something you dork, you just say 'aye' to show you are in agreement, Sally informed her.
Jen just stuck her tongue out at Sally and ignored her comment.
