“Vane passed the mashed potatoes across Bride to Fury, who stared at them with a fierce frown "What are these?" he asked."Potatoes," Vane told him."What did they do to them?”

“Fury wagged his tail and smiled wickedly, then tried to look up Bride’s dress. Vane caught him quickly by the neck. “Stop!” he snarled mentally to Fury. “Or I’ll rip your head off.”Bride frowned at them. “Don’t you like my wolf?”“Yeah,” Van said, patting him roughly on the head. “He’s my new best friend.”“I’m your only friend, dickhead.”Vane balled his fist in the wolf’s fur as a warning to him. “You know you have to be firm with wolves. Let them know who the alpha is.”“Your father?”Vane smacked Fury’s head.“Ow!””

“Fury snorted. "You're the leader, Vane. Lead.”

“Is there something I should know?” Valerius asked them.The instant Vane opened his mouth to speak, Tabitha kicked his shin. Hard.Vane yelped, then frowned at her.“What was that?” Valerius asked. “Why did you kick him?”“No reason,” Tabitha said, reaching over the bar to pluck an oyster from the pile. She looked angelic, which meant something truly evil was going on.”

“You look like shit. (Vane)Yeah, well, I wouldn’t date you either, asshole. (Fury)”

“So who was she? (Vane)Why do you assume it was a female? (Fang)Didn’t know you were fond of men. I’ll file that under my special Fang folder. (Vane)”

“Does Fang have an off switch? Talon asked Vane.”
