"No probleirl and we all love her I don’t think I have to tell you to treat her good, you seem to have impeccable manners Do you have a helmet for her or did you want to borrow our car?" Sara offered

"That is ht my bike"

Once the Henrys left and Fane took a shower, he sat down to call his father again and see if they could co one time and his father’s voice was on the other end

"Da"

"It’s me," Fane told him "I need to knohat you wantwith this Alpha and find out what his interest inabout it a lot and have decided to send Sorin back to you I think his experience as a ill be of some help, not to mention it will show them you are not on your own," his father told hi me to do?" Fane asked him

"I want you to protect yourunless provoked If it gets out of hand, I don’t care how you get your mate and her mother on a plane, but you do it fast," his father said fir to stay?" Fane asked hiht find this interesting, but he is staying with Lilly Pierce"

"That’s my mate’s uess it’s time for me to tell you, but you must wait to talk to Jacquelyn until after her mother tells her She musn’t feel betrayed," Fane’s father explained "I did a little searching and found out that your mate is indeed part wolf In fact, she is half Grey Jacquelyn’s father was a Grey He and Lilly were together for quite awhile, although they never married At some point in their relationship he decided to tell her about his origins because she had a special gift and knew there was so different about his were good, but one day Jacquelyn’s father cas and left Lilly a note All it said was ‘I have to go, I have no choice I’nant with his child when he left I have since located him and found that he is with his mate, which is why he had to leave Lilly You see, Lilly was not his true s for her, they weren’t a pindrop compared to what he feels for his mate"

"So Lilly has known this Jacquelyn’s whole life and never told her?" Fane asked him

"She didn’t think she would ever have to For all she knew, the rules did not apply to Jacquelyn because she is not full-blood She knoho you are, Fane, and what you are I called and spoke with her about what is going on and she took it really well She agreed to let Sorin stay with them as he would be added protection," his father explained

"I know I can trust Sorin, but you kno hard it is for a male wolf to allow another to be so close to his mate, especially when the bond ritual has not been perfor to be hard on you but you are going to have to set your wolf nature aside and recognize ill keep her safe Still, I don’t know if Sorin will be enough of a deterrent to keep the other pack frorowled at the idea of his

"How can they possibly want her when she is not a true mate to any of them?" Fane asked

"I know it is hard for you to understand because you are so young, and you’ve found your o decades if not centuries before they find theirtih to settle for less and hope that over time their wolves will bond What they don’t know, because they don’t reht, is there is only one oing to needto rent a car for the duration of his stay," his father answered "I will keep you updated as I learn things You lay low, Fane I don’t want my only son and the future Alpha of this Pack killed" His father used his Alpha voice It demanded obedience and could not be defied

"Yes, Alpha," Fane replied, recognizing that in thatas son to father, but Pack to Alpha

Fane hung up the phone and lay back on his bed, staring up at the ceiling He decided to wait a couple more days before he confronted Lilly and Jacquelyn, but he was going to have to convince Lilly to tell her daughter He would obey his father and not tell Jacquelyn before then
