She had to let go of Fane’s hands as she unfolded the piece of paper she held in her hand When she looked up and saw Fane watching her she grinned Fane winked at her which made her heartbeat pick up "Easy, love It’s justto calm her so that she could unfold the paper and read it to him

"Fane, there is so much I don’t know about you, so s that I do know I know that your face is the first thing I want to see in the ht I know that your smile is the one I want to see when life fills you with joy I know that I want to be the one to hold you when you are hurt or discouraged, and when life knocks you doant to be the one to help you get back up I know that if we are so blessed, I want you to be the father of my children, and I hope they have your beautiful blue eyes I knoithout a doubt, out of the millions of people on this earth, you were created for s I know What you need to know is that I am yours and yours alone You hold my heart You have the power to fill it with love and you have the power to destroy it You need to know that not a day will go by that I don’t thank God that you are ive you hell when you need it, but I will also love you unconditionally and without reservation I will give you everything I a less from you" Fane looked at his mate, speechless at her precious words He didn’t even realize his father was asking him a question until Jacquelyn turned to look at Vasile

"Fane, what offering do you bring your mate to show her you will provide for her and care for her needs both physical and eht Jacquelyn with him He reached into his other pocket and pulled out a little black box and heard Jacquelyn’s breath catch

Fane opened the black box and knelt back down on one knee He took Jacquelyn’s left hand into his and felt her shaking He brought her hand to his lips and kissed it and held it to his lips until the shaking stopped "I have brought a ring There is no other like it in all the world just as there is no other like raved all the way around the band in Romanian are the words: finalizarea (complete), for without you my soul is incomplete; absolut (absolute), that is howon this earth that will separate(whole), you have filled the void inthe man and the hole In the center is a very rare red diamond I chose red for two reasons One, you are my micul incendiu (little fire) And two, it is a reminder of this day e both shed blood to bind our souls to each other" Fane looked at Jacquelyn, pleading with his eyes for her to understand how much he needed her "Jacquelyn, I love you You are my mate and from this day forth every ill know that you are mine But because I am selfish and a barbarian just as my mother called me, I don’t want just the wolves to know you are mine I want every man to know you are taken I realize you are not ready toyou to tell me that you will beas a symbol that your heart is spoken for Jacquelyn, will you marry me?"

Jacquelyn’s eyes were closed and when she opened thelisten with unshed tears Fane stood up and pulled her close to him He pressed his lips to her ear and whispered, "Please tell me those are tears of joy"

Jacquelyn nodded her head but that wasn’t good enough for Fane He needed to hear it fro to make you say it out loud, ht and then waited for her response

She pulled back away from him so she could look into his eyes, "I will marry you, Fane"

Fane could see a little sparkle ofup her sleeve "When Luna? When will you marry me?" he whispered

"I would marry you now, here, in this place," she told hiasp that rippled through out the roo far into the darkness where the faceless stood Fane’s breath caught, he couldn’t believe what he was hearing He turned to look at his father "Alpha, ency in his tone He turned back to look at her "I don’t want you to have the chance to change your mind" His voice was playful but Jacque could see in his eyes that he was serious, he wasn’t ever letting her go

Vasile’s voice brought them both fro "Before the , Fane Where is your second?"

"I have another offering but I wish to give it to my mate in private e complete the blood rites"

Vasile turned to Jacquelyn"You accept this request?"

"Yes," Jacquelyn answered, her eyebrows raised as she looked at Fane

"Alright, I suppose noill do the rinned at Jacque

"Hey, it seeood a time as any," she told him as her cheeks flamed with heat "Oh, and you can do the quick version I’m pretty sure e’ve already said covers all the rest" The crowd laughed at her words and then quieted when Vasile looked out into the darkness Bringing his attention back to Fane and Jacque, he spoke the ain as Fane and Jacque bound themselves in the human way as well

"I now pronounce you husband and wife" Vasile finished the wedding vows and then added, "Fane, it is time for you and your mate to perform the blood rites Once done your bond will be complete"

Fane turned to her and took her face in his hands and kissed her soundly on the mouth The kiss seemed to last forever and Jacquelyn was sure that even Jen would be blushing When he finally pulled away he placed one more soft kiss on her lips and said, "Mate, coh" Jacquelyn’s eyes popped open as she looked into the face of her mate, the face of her wolf

Jacque couldn’t say that she wasn’t nervous as Fane led her to his suite in the mansion When Fane had ended that kiss and spoke to her, she realized that Fane had been out of commission and the as in control As they reached the door, Fane turned and looked at her "Don’t be afraid, I am here I am in control but the wolf has pushed forward because the blood rites is a bonding between the wolf and his mate, you We will not hurt you, Jacquelyn"
