on the insults until I have a chance to talk to someone. I would hate to have to clean up after you all leave. Blood leaves stains , ” Brin said.
Dante snorted. “Won ’ t be my blood , ” h e said arrogantly and leaned against Brin’s desk and crossed his ankles in a completely calm manner.
“Quin, we have a problem,” Brin said into the phone when his friend finally answered. “Did you know Jax was a White Wolf?”
“No, there is not another pure white wolf around but Jo. I bet she has a mark somewhere, ” Quin said smoothly.
Brin squinted his eyes and bent down to see if he could see any other markings on her coat. He turned several different ways but couldn’t see her underbelly. “I can’t tell.”
“What,” Dante said in a commanding tone.
“Quin says there are no other White Wolves, she has to have markings somewhere , ” Brin relayed.
Dante sighed and stood up and pushed the human to the side. He was making himself dizzy. “Hey, pup, come over here and roll over.”
“NO!!” Quin screamed into the phone, and Brin had enough time to drop the phone and grab the wolf around the neck as it lunged for the Vampire.

“What the hell?” Dante said and actually backed u p. He had never stepped back f r o m a fight before , but this was a chick, and one he was supposed to be protecting. “You crazy bitch, what the fuck? Shift!” he bellowed, and the wolf continued barking and pulling the human behind her on her back as she tried to get to him.
Dante figure d it was best to back off. So he stepped around the desk to put something in between them. At least, the she- bitch was too large to move in such a small space; she seemed to take up the room.
Brin had been right though, he had never seen any wolf with such a gorgeous coat before. He held up his hands and said, “Sorry, call Fido off, and I will sit back here and keep qui e t .”
Brin was muttering in the damn wolf 's ear trying to calm her down, but every time he opened his mouth; he seemed to piss her off. Please, if she were this sensitive, she would never make it as an Alpha. He heard worse from a lot of his friends. They called the shifters a variety of names.
Finally , after wha t seemed like a freaking hour , the wolf calmed down and began to pace away from him but never t ook her eyes off him. Brin sighed and glared at him. Dante yawned and put his hands behind his head and put his feet up on the desk. They needed to sort this shit out, and fast .
“Quin, yeah, sorry. I have it under control. It ' s okay,” Brin said and nodded. “I kinda got that, never ask an Alpha to show you her underbelly. Got it. Shit, okay, at least I have an answer for you though. While I was holding on for dear life , I got a good look. No, she has no markings; she's all white.”
Dante looked at the wolf with curiosity. He could feel the air around them sizzle. Her Alpha magic and his Vampire were flowing, connecting, and seeming to join. What the hell ? Even the human seemed to notice it. The wolf went to Brin and rubbed against his leg as if it were reassuring him of something.
“She won’t shift,” Brin said tightly into the phone and put his hand on her head and stroked. Dante was suddenly a little jealous of the contact he was witnessing. He wanted to be stroking the smooth head.
“Really? I can’t ask; she's in wolf form!” Brin ground out. “Fine.”
“Jax, can you shift or are you choosing not to?” t he human asked, and the wolf shook its head.
“She can ' t, ” Brin relayed and Dante rolled his eyes; the wolf growled at him again. Then the human turned fast and glared at him.
He held up his hands; everyone was way to o fucking touchy . This would be funny if it were in any other situation. This was taking too long . H e stood up and the wolf's hair bristled, and he held up his hands.
“ Brin , give me the phone , ” Dante ordered and
