Finally Home Taming of a White Wolf by Jana Leigh, Rose Colton Page B

pulled him into a hug, and nodded at Fredi respectfully.
    Brin, Dante, and Jax walked in and Jax stared at them with intent before walking forward. “I had a dream.”
    “Oh shit, here we go,” Cat sighed and sat down with a cup of coffee.
    Jax kept eye contact with her and said with a dispassionate voice, “The females need to be found. Diavolo and Roarke know about them and they are already ahead of us. One of them they had and she escaped. Quin and the New Council Pack moved her somewhere, but she needs to be brought here for protection and to find her mates. The women need to understand if they do not take their triad, they will be the downfall of the Senate first, and then the New Council.”
    Fredi nodded but didn’t say anything. Marshall stood behind her, put a hand on her shoulder, and said, “We know we made a mistake.”
    Bane felt a burst of hope and then he looked at Marshall, who still looked pissed about sharing their mate. This was not going to work if they were fighting all the damn time, maybe Cat was right. They needed to have a plan.
    “Sooo, I am assuming that you are accepting the mating with Bane. Because if denied, he will have to be sent away, losing a mate for a vampire will cause them to go mad. I have no problem getting him out of the way. Hey, maybe we can find a new man for you to mate with,” Cat chatted animatedly.
    Jax snorted, “Yeah, there are plenty of them crawling out of the woodwork and coming here. I am sure we could find a more suitable mate for you. Bane is a little rough around the corners.”
    Bane looked at his friends with a surprised expression. Cat met his eyes and glared at him, and shook her head. He finally turned and looked at Fredi, who looked pissed.
    “You will not send my mate away. How dare you think I would deny him in anyway,” Fredi fumed.
    “But you did, now didn’t you?” Cat said softly and looked at Marshall, who was looking uncomfortable.
    “Oh hell to the no, you don’t get to talk about my mating. Marshall and Bane are going to take some time, get to know each other. Marshall said he felt the pull to Bane as if he was his missing brother or something. You don’t get to tell us what we are feeling. I know he is my mate, and I didn’t deny him, I was in shock, I made a mistake by letting him leave. It will not happen again. But I suggest you keep your nose out of our business,” Fredi stormed and Cat raised a hand when Orfeo went to step forward and protect her. Jax laughed quietly, and stood next to Cat and clapped.
    “Well said, however, you hurt my friend again, and I will kick your ass,” Jax said.
    Cat stood up and pushed a hand down her outfit as to straighten it. “Ditto, however, I won’t be so nice. Hurt MY brother again, and I will kill you.”
    “What a good way to start out the day: threats and coffee,” Bane said and then stepped forward and kissed Cat on the cheek and then Jax. Fredi growled behind him and he turned to her surprised. “I say we start over again. This is all just a weird misunderstand.”
    Marshall nodded and looked at the people around them. “Hello, I am Marshall, and this is one of my mates, Fredi, we are happy to be here.”
    "Dude, you are such a dork," Tripp said as he faced Marshall.
    "Shut up, dumbass, or I will call mom and tell her how bad you miss her, little brother," Marshall said back with a smirk. He knew just what to say to get Tripp to close his mouth.
    Bane grinned at the accepting words, felt the tension leave him, and nodded. “Orfeo, Cat, Tripp, Jax, Brin, and Dante, these are my mates and new Senate members.”
    “You are now part of the Senate, too, Bane,” Orfeo said softly and firmly. Shit, he hadn’t thought about it . Bane looked at his Sire in panic.
    “Don’t worry, we will be easy on you. Now on to the real business,” Cat laughed again, and said, "It is nice to have another woman around here all the time. Jax and I are overwhelmed most days with all the beings moving in
