Jacque curled up next to Fane, content to be in his arms and continued to think about her future, about their future She wasn’t going to worry, she was going to trust Fane and herself and she would give it her all and be the best mate and Alpha fe, Luna, never doubt that" She heard Fane’s voice and the love he poured into his words in her mind

"I wouldn’t dare," she replied confidently His response was a gentle squeeze and low chuckle under his breath

Jacque stood in the roo with Jen and Sally in the mansion where Fane and his family lived It had been a week since they landed in Ro cereht, in a matter of less than an hour, those preparations would finally bear the fruit of their purpose Tonight Jacque would tie herself to Fane for all eternity Needless to say she was a little anxious, and it would be a lie if she didn’t ad that at any moment some crazy ould jump out of the ork to steal her away in some freakish attempt to make her his mate Okay, if she took a ht break down into hysterical laughter knowing that three o she didn’t even knoolves existed She looked in the own adorned with eold threadits way up froher up the dress it went It was cut low in the front but had a high back that would cover her s Alina chose this dress as the replacereen accented her eyes and coh it wasn’t the first dress, it was still just as stunning in its oay

Today was not only the Blood Rites cerehteenth birthday Who would have thought that on her eighteenth birthday she would be in Ro ready to bond with a olf? Ya, her either

"How you doing of there, wolf princess?" Jacque heard Jen ask fro her toenails

Jacque turned to face her two best friends, thankful beyond words that they were here to support her and if nothing else, give her sarcastic remarks to help keep her nerves under control

"I’m nervous, but honestly I’m so beyond ready to be bonded to Fane"

"Well, believe us e say ish you would hurry up already because the whole ’crazy Alphas knocking down your door to get in your pants’ is getting old," Jen told her dryly

"Classy, Jen, real classy" Sally rolled her eyes

"Well, better Jac than ot to say"

"Wait a an "If I do recall, inebriated Jen was all about some wolf to be hertight "We all know that’s never going to happen Besides, I’ood in fur anyways" Jen snorted at her own coood in fur? No, no takers, huh? Ok then, tough crowd"

Jacque walked over to Jen and knelt down in front of her, her eyebrows raised "Jen, um, about that I need to tell-" Just then the door to their room opened and Decebel stepped in

Jen ju nail polish all over "Decebel, how good of you to join us in our private rooivento rue in uninvited So thanks for that Really, thanks"

Decebel just stared at Jen amd his eyes took her in from head to toe Jen felt heat rise in her face under his scrutiny "What, have you never seen a girl in a dress?" she snapped

Decebel growled low "Not a dress like that Is ita jacket or so wide Sally coughed into her hand and Jacque just flat slapped her hand over her ht in the eyes as she pulled her already low cut dress just a tad lower, daring hilare todirectly in front of her Jen had to lean her head back to look up at his towering form "This conversation isn’t over, Jennifer, and you aren’t leaving this room until you put on a sweater or robe, or a parka for all I care But you are not going out there like that" He then turned to Jacque "It’s ti for you Once Jennifer adds some material to her body I a hall" Without another word he turned and walked back into the hall, waiting for the out a soft creao with Jen’s navy blue dress "Just put this on and lets go It’s Jacque’s day, okay?" Sally whispered to her fu friend

Jen snatched the sweater fro her eyes from Decebel’s stiff form Finally she wrenched her eyes away and looked at Jacque Her face iot your speech thingy so we’re good And you look a!"

Jacque bea a deep breath, and turned to follow Decebel out to where Fane waited for her

As they approached the gathering roo Neither spoke as they had already said all that needed to be said Jen handed Jacque the sheet of paper that had her vows and gave her a quick wink Decebel escorted Jen and Sally into their places in the hall, leaving Jacque standing there alone
