Fanes wolf pushed to come out and he let him just a little. Power poured over him and the Grey felt it instantly, nearly bowing involuntarily as his wolf realized he was not more dominate than the pup he had so hastily named.
I dont have to dignify you with an answer, but just so you know what you have provoked, I will oblige you. I am the Prince of the Romanian Canis lupus. I am next in line to be Alpha and I submit to no one but my Alpha. Putting as much push in his words as he dared without unleashing the full power of his line, he asked, Who is your Alpha and how long has there been a pack of Greys in Coldspring?
The Grey whined just a little but answered, I have heard of your father. It is said he makes all Alphas bow just by his presence.
Answer my question, Steve. Now. Fane glared.
My Alpha is Lucas Steele. I have been a member of this pack for three years. I dont know how long it has been active. Why are you here? Youre a teenager from another country. What could you possibly be doing in Coldspring, Texas? Steve asked, bewildered.
My business is not yours. Setting aside this interesting turn of events for a moment, please, I would like to purchase that black Honda Shadow. How much? Fane asked.
Dont you want to test drive it? Steve asked.
No. How much? Fane asked again.
$2,500. There is no warranty left on it. It has five thousand miles, the tires are new, never been in an accident, Steve rattled off like a recording.
Fane pulled out his credit card and handed it to him. As Steve walked off with his parents credit card Fane realized he had just made a big mistake. Steve now had his fathers full name. He imagined this might be a moment when his fiery little Luna would say something along the lines of, Go directly to jail, do not pass go and do not collect $200. Yes, she would definitely say something like that.
Brian wandered back over to Fane but Fane didnt realize it until Brian said something. So you find something to buy?
Yeah, actually. Im going to purchase that black Honda Shadow. It looks to be in pretty good shape. Do you think you could take me to wherever it is that I get the license and whatever else I need in order to finalize the sale? Fane asked.
Thats not a problem. Let me know when you are ready, Brian responded.
Ok. Mulumesc, Brian. I really appreciate your help, Fane told him.
Youre welcome, Brian said with a smile.
Fane turned to see Steve coming across the lot toward him. He had some paperwork in one hand and Fanes credit card in the other. He handed Fane the credit card first once he reached them.
Could you step inside for a moment to sign these papers? Steve asked Fane.
Fane simply noddedand started to follow Steve in the direction of the building. They stepped inside and just a few steps to the right was a table. Steve sat down, Fane did not. He simply leaned down and signed the places Steve had marked. Once everything was signed, Steve stood back up and handed Fane the keys. Before Fane turned to leave, Steve said, I have a message from my Alpha.
Fane turned back and looked Steve in the eyes. The less dominate Grey instantly dropped his gaze but continued. He says dont unpack. With that Steve turned and walked away.
Fane pushed the door open and walked back out to where Brian stood.
Okay, Brian, Im ready if you are. Fane was trying very hard to contain his anger. His wolf was not happy. There were other wolves in a territory he had claimed based on the information that there were no other Greys here. On top of that, his mate was in the same area, un-bonded. He would say things couldnt get worse, but that would be a huge mistake when it came to talking about Canis lupus.
As Fane pulled into the driveway to the Henrys' house, he was pleased at how well the motorcycle ran. Brian had insisted they go straight to a motorcycle shop and buy a helmet since they didnt have one at the dealership. He opted for a full face helmet with a dark visor and bought a clear visor to change out for when he was riding at night. It feels so good to be on a bike again, Fane thought to himself. He parked behind Brians car and locked his helmet and the helmet he had impulsively bought Jacquelyn on the side of his bike.
As he was walking to the front door, he saw Lilly pulling into her driveway across the street. He hadnt realized she left.
As she was getting out of her Volkswagen convertible, she turned and saw Fane and waved.
Fane! Hey, I wanted to invite you over for dinner tonight, she hollered across the lawn. The girls are having pizza. You are welcome to come if you dont mind hanging out with a group of teenage girls, she said with a wink.
Fane was a little surprised at the invitation but he was not about to miss an opportunity to spend time with Jacquelyn.
I would be honored. Mulumesc, Fane responded.
Great. We'll order the pizza around five. Oh, and tell Brian and Sara they are invited as well. Well make a night of it and play some games, Lilly said enthusiastically.
Fane couldnt really put his finger on it, but Lilly seemed a bit edgy. Maybe he was imagining it, but something was definitely off with her. She waved and turned to go into her house as he did the same.
Sara was sitting on the couch reading a book when he entered and he told her they were invited to Lillys for pizza and games.
Oh, that sounds great, Sara said excitedly. I'll make some brownies to take. Do you like brownies?
