"It hurts, Fane" Jacquelyn’s voice was soft in histo make you better Can you open your eyes for an to flutter and then open He sheltered her with his large body, not wanting anyone else to see she ake, needing a few moments of her all to hiently and whispered, "Don’t ht now, just let me look at you"

"Someone would have to pry me from your arms, Fane," she whispered back with a srimace as her body throbbed

Fane’s heart clenched as he watched pain fill her eyes, hating that he could do nothing for her

"Just rest, my love"

Jacquelyn closed her eyes and Fane pulled her close to his body, sharing his heat with her

Just as they had arrived at the woods in silence, their trip back to the hotel was just as quiet

Alina laid a blanket over Cynthia Steele’s wolf for on one of the hotel beds Vasile, Fane, and Lilly stood over her as they watched her begin to phase back to her human skin Jen and Sally sat on the other bed next to Jacque’s supine forainst the back wall, his ar even more ominous if that were possible

"She has already had blood" Fane’s voice was deadly "Logan forced his blood on her, she is not better"

"Not just anyone’s blood, Fane She needs your blood, the blood of her an to inch its way into his heart

"You’re sure?" he asked

"Scientifically, no, I’m not But Fane, we are olves, science cannot explain us In ut I know it is your blood she needs I don’t think one bite will do it since she has gone so long and her body has slowly been attacking itself She will probably have to bite you several times over the period of a few days"

Fane turned to his ht Cynthia some sweatpants and a shirt and all the males stepped out of the rooh her broken bones had mended when she phased, her body was still very stiff and sore Nobody spoke as Cynthia dressed Alina opened the doors and let the wolves back in Fane walked over to Jacquelyn’s side and stared down at her in silence Everybody in the roo to see what he would do Fane made a decision
