Prince of Wolves

Intr-adevar ea este (Truly she is), Alina answered.
Would you care to share what exactly yall are talking about? Jacquelyn asked Fane through her thoughts
I told them you were stunning and they agreed, Fane answered.
Alina stepped forward and pushed Fane away from Jacquelyn, taking her into an embrace. Jacquelyn, it is so wonderful to meet you. I am so thankful Fane has found you.
Thank you, Jacquelyn said simply.
Then it was Vasiles turn. He embraced her as well, but when he spoke to her it was in Romanian, Ai mei sint fiii cealalta jumatate, el putina lumina, de o moarte sau viata te vor fi protejate de haita (You are my son's other half, his little light, by his death or life you will be protected by the Pack).
After he said this, every wolf in the room responded, Asa cum veti se, Alfa, ea va fi adoptata (As you will it, Alpha, it will be done).
What exactly just happened? Cause we all know there was some sort of pack voodoo going on, Jen said, looking at Fane.
It was Fanes father who spoke instead.
That is something Fane can discuss with you later. Right now we have more pressing matters. Jacquelyn, I hate to ask this of you, but I need you to get your mother.
No need, Im here. Believe it or not its kind of hard to sleep with a pack of wolves in your living room. Im Lilly Pierce, Jacques mother, Lilly said as she strolled into the living room.
Alina walked right up to her and hugged her just as she had Jacquelyn.
Im Alina, Fanes mother, and this is my mate, Vasile, she told Lilly.
Its very nice to meet you both. Please make yourselves at home while you're here. Although, Im not sure how we are going to accommodate all of you, Lilly told them.
Oh, I talked with the Henrys and they were more than happy to have whoever stay at their home, Fane explained.
So, whats this pressing business that needs to be discussed? Lilly asked Vasile.
Jacquelyn turned to sit on the couch and started to pull Fane with her, but he did not move, nor did he let her hand go. She looked back at him in question and saw that he was staring at the other wolves in the room.
Are you just going to stand there through this whole conversation? If so, then youre on your own cause Im tired, Im cranky, and I want to sit downnow, Fane, Jacquelyn told him, glaring daggers at him.
Fane was not going to sit down until the other wolves submitted first. They were being stubborn because there were females in the room and they wanted to look all big and bad. He knew his father was not going to intervene because he wanted to see if Fane could submit other dominates. Only one wayto find out. Ive had enough of this, Fane thought. He turned so that his body was facing each of them directly, and he looked at each wolf. First Borian, then Dorian, and last Skender, until they each dropped their eyes. Then he spoke in the voice that they could not disobey.
Stai (sit). All three sat immediately, eyes still lowered.
Fane turned and bared his neck to his father, then pulled Jacquelyn over to sit on the couch.
You are going to explain that later, right? Jacquelyn whispered.
Do I have a choice, Luna? Fane asked.
Point to you, she told him.
Alina and Lilly both sat on the loveseat while Jen and Sally sat on the floor in front of the couch. Sorin was in his usual spot, the ugly chair, and the three wolves were all sitting on the floor around Sorins feet. They did not look happy. Vasile stood at the front of the room, looking out at everyone.
Jen looked over at Jacquelyn and whispered, You know this really calls for some hot chocolate, right?
Jacquelyn nodded in agreement as Sally stood up, saying, Im on it.
The challenge is to be tomorrow, Vasile announced. I will be calling Lucas Steele in a few hours to discuss the details. One thing that I would like to have set is the location of the challenge. I do not want it in his territory. It needs to be a remote location where there will be no chance bystanders will happen upon it. Do any of you know such a place?
Jen and Jacquelyn spoke at the same time. Field of dreams.
Jen reached up and fist bumped with Jacquelyn. Good call, Sherlock, she said.
All in a day's work, Watson, Jacquelyn responded.
Whats the 'field of dreams'? Fane asked.
Its just an empty field out in the boondocks. Jacquelyn answered.
Ok, so why is it called the field of dreams? he asked again.
Jacques just embarrassed to say, Jen told him. Its called the field of dreams because its where all the couples go on Friday nights and, ya know, hope their dreams come true, so to speak.
Fane looked at his mate, and found her face nearly as red as her hair.
Do you have personal experience with this field? he whispered in her ear.
Jacquelyn slapped him on the leg, hard. No, you possessive cave man, and you already knew that, she growled, forgetting briefly that she had an audience.
Shes a feisty little thing, isnt she? Fanes father commented.
Avei nici o ide (you have no idea), Fane answered.
Will there not be kids out at this field? Vasile asked.
