Dorien snorted disht setting foot in it was a good idea is beyond me, but here you are My territory, enerally best heeded Jaden hadn’t yet met a ithout a short fuse, Lyra included He suspected she caet this over with What do you want to know?"

"That should be obvious" Dorien’s eyes glittered in the sehter’s necklace? How do you know Lyra? And again… what the hell are you doing in the middle of my pack’s territory?"

Jaden shifted, then raised an eyebrow "Just passing through?"

The attempt at humor fell flat as Dorien bared his teeth His incisors were as sharp as any vampire’s "This is a joke to you, then My family, our honor, our kind… a joke"

"Lily MacGillivray is not a demon," Jaden snapped, defensive at the first mention of his friend, the woht not know much about the wolf definition of honor, but you obviously don’t know shit about e reason, Jaden’s outburst seerin

"Nope Don’t want to either But I’ot some loyalty, and so we expect"

"Yeah, well… I don’t expect to be standing here talking to an Alpha wolf after I’ve just torn one of his young wolves to ribbons, so I’d call this a new experience for us both" He paused, then threw caution to the hen he saw the calculating gleam in Dorien’s eyes

"What do you want, Black? You want so here"
