Chapter 21
My Thoughts:
This is such a hard chapter to read.
Not because it isn’t good, but because it is so emotionally charged. Things
“get real” for Jacque et al. Fane starts to lose control, Jacque learns (with a
push from Jen) that her touch can sooth the savage beast in Fane, and we see a fierceness
come out of Jacque that we’ve not seen before.
Jacque has no qualms about getting
into the Coldspring wolves’ faces and she stands up to them with such strength
and fire that you just know it was a sight to behold.
Preparing for her meeting with
Lucas, Jacque keeps her style and sense of humor by wearing a Team Edward
t-shirt. (I actually have one of these!), and you have to give her props for
being bold enough to wear something like that on first meeting this crazed
Alpha.
The t-shirt ends up being key to the
events that are set in motion. Because Jacque really wants to rub the whole vampire
thing in the wolf’s face, she forgets that she has markings to protect. Lifting
her hair so Lucas can read the back of her shirt just starts the trouble. The
thing is though, without that chain of events we would have missed out on some
very key moments for Jacque and Fane – so the outcome was worth the scare.
Fane catching just a glimpse of
Lucas losing it, through Jacque’s bond with him, causes his wolf to lose it, at
this point all bets are off.
Jacque has no problem letting Lucas
know that she has no intentions of ever being his mate, and Lucas, who
temporarily lost it, scratches Jacque. Now granted, it wasn’t a bad wound or
anything – but it was enough to really put a damper in his plans, as well as
really piss off a few people, i.e. Lilly.
I also love how Jen and Sally show
up and have Jacque’s back. These girls let nothing, and I mean nothing come
between them and their friends without one hell of a fight.
Favorite Lines:
Jacque looked at Jen and then at
Sally. She couldn’t believe something so profound had come out of Jen’s mouth.
Sally shrugged. “Who knew?” she
said, answering Jacque’s unspoken question.

“You think I’m scared of you?" She asked
sarcastically. “I’m your worst nightmare. Just remember, we all gotta sleep
sometime. Hope you can sleep with one eye open,” she winked at him and turned
to walk back to the house.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“If either of you touches her I will
kill you and use your pelt as a rug.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Do you think it wise to bare your
throat to the one who would see it torn
out?” Jacque asked…

Fane growled again. I have a feeling he’s going to be doing a
lot of that being mated to me, she thought to herself.
Things We Learned:
- Jacque’s touch soothes Fane’s wolf
- Jennifer has depth
- Jacque tells Fane she loves him
- Jacque is not someone you want to piss off
- Lucas Steele is about 6 feet tall, has brown hair, 1 blue eye and 1 green eye
