Chapter 14
My Thoughts:
Previously we found out that Fane’s markings stung when the car drove by as he was
entering Jacque’s house. Here we are told that there were two Canis Lupis in
the car. Steve, the salesman, and another that we have not yet met.
Although we know that someone has
claimed Jacque, at least at the beginning of this chapter, Fane doesn’t
understand what they want with her. It may be that at this point he thinks that
because she had no mating signs that someone just claimed the right to get to know
her. At this point Fane doesn’t appear to suspect that he is going to be
challenged for bonding rites. If he had of suspected it, I imagine that he
would have already had Lilly and Jacque on a plane back to Romania.
Fane calls his father to seek
advice. He knows that the Coldspring Alpha wants him out, and Fane wants to
know what his father/Alpha thinks is the best course of action. Vasile has
decided to send Sorin back to Texas in order to show the Coldspring pack that
Fane is not alone. He has told Fane to protect Lilly and Jacque but to not do
anything without a reason. Then Vasile
kind of drops a few bombs on Fane. Sorin will be staying with Lilly, which
makes Fane slightly uncomfortable because Sorin is an unmated male, but he
trusts Sorin and the protection is needed. Fane learns that Lilly knows what is
going on but has not shared with Jacque. He is starting to truly understand
that someone really means to bond with his true mate.
Vasile explains that what was once
taught about true mates is no longer remembered by some, and that is why they
think that bonding with any female will work. Now I’m not sure if this is an
indication that the werewolf education just really where the subject of
mates/bonding is concerned or if the darkness that takes over causes them to
forget, or just be that stupid. It seems to me that fighting to the death for
someone who cannot possibly live up to your expectations is a bit much, so
there has to be something that clouds their judgment. So is it that they forget
because of the darkness, or because they are not taught?
The conversation with his father
over, Fane reaches out to Jacque. After discovering she’s not a morning person,
he tells her when he will pick her up and that they will be playing putt-putt.
Favorite Lines:
“…What they don’t know, because they
don’t remember what our ancestors have taught, is there is only one mate for
each. Only one,” his father emphasized.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Oh, my bad. It’s moved up to
still-too-freaking early,” Jacquelyn responded.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“I was thinking that golf game
Americans play that has all the different obstacles,” Fane answered.
