alright, here is the new chapter! i know i've really taken my time and haven't uploaded since forever, but anyways, i think all you werewolves will enjoy this chapter!
disclaimer: i don't own victorious...
"All things you hear about werewolves in myths and books and stuff are false. Canis lupus can phase - we don't call it changing - whenever we want to. We can phase our whole body into wolf form, or just the eyes, teeth or whatever. It has nothing to do with the moon, though the moon does speed up the transformation and goes absolutely painless." fane explained.
Sophia shuffled closer to him, needing to be near her mate and give him comfort. Fane readjusted his position so Sophia sat more comfortably in his lap. He closed his arms around her and continued speaking. "We are all Canis lupus, but we come from different packs. I come from the Romanian pack, the biggest pack in the world. In a pack, you have your dominants and your submissives. Every pack has an alpha. An alpha is like a king, who keeps the order in the pack and prevents the other dominants from tearing each other apart and so that everyone is protected. My father is the alpha of the Romanian pack. Coincidentally, that makes me prince, next in line to be alpha." jade grinned at his choice of words.
She saw how Alex, Daniel, Amy, and Eva weren't looking at him; instead, they had their necks bared. "Are you even paying attention?" she cried indignantly. They met her gaze for a second, and then looked away without saying a word. Jade looked at the others, confusion etched onto her face. Sophia spoke up, "the reason they won't look at either fane or me is because fane is a dominant,
and when you look a dominant in the eye they will see it as a challenge, just like our animal cousins see that."
jade nodded," why won't they look at you?" she asked. Sophia grinned, "they won't look at me because I am the alpha's mate" she explained. "Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Rex cried, "That's a little permanent." Robbie shot Rex a glare, and then looked back at fane, who said," here, let me get into that. Every male Canis lupus has one mate, only one. The male to female ratio is about 1 female to 30 males, so females are in high demand. I have come to Hollywood arts to look for mine. Sometimes we wolves are drawn to a particular area. I think it's just nature's way of helping us wolves, because sometimes it takes years, even centuries to find our mates." he let the last sentence sink in, before continuing.
"Our mates are the other half of our soul. Mates fill the hole in us with light and we in turn are prepared to give our lives in protection." Robbie shot up, "is that why Daniel went all feral on jade because she hurt Amy?" he asked innocently. "Exactly! Mates are so precious to us because there is only one for us. We males cannot bear the idea of losing the other half of our soul. That is why Daniel became protective of Amy, because he didn't want to lose her."
Amy stifled a gasp. Daniel's head whipped round to look at her. "Wait a minute!" Tori cried. Fane looked at her, and cocked his head to the side. "Something tells me you have found what you are looking for" she said with a knowing smile. Fane looked down at Sophia, who leant up and kissed fane's cheek.
"Yes, I have" he said quietly. "OH MY GOSH! That is sooo freaking romantic!" Tori squealed in delight. "I still don't get it!" cat spoke up. Everyone looked at her. She had remained surprisingly quiet for the duration of fane's explanation. "Me either" jade piped in. "is it really that big of a deal that these werewolves are willing to gamble with their lives just to get a person whom they barely know?"
Sophia looked at fane, her eyes silently pleading to let her do this. With the smallest of growls fane broke eye contact and inclined his head towards the group, who were eager to hear her story. "To a human it seems unrealistic." jade got up, somewhat threateningly, but beck held her down. Fane tensed behind Sophia and held her tighter. Sophia smiled at jade, and continued. "The idea of soul mate is what we call a true mate. There are so many facets to the magic behind our kind. I don't understand it at all; I just know what I've seen to be true. There is darkness inside the soul of a male wolf. He is designed to be fierce, unrelenting, protective to the extreme and unforgiving. If a male does not find his mate this darkness begins to take over and gradually he begins to go mad, unable to control the darkness that once kept his family, his pack safe.
Often wolves will describe it as being at war with their wolf." she let the I formation sink in, before continuing. "His mate is the light that keeps the darkness at bay. She fills the hole that has been growing ever larger in his soul. When the bond is completed between mates, their very souls merge, and the male will be able to leash the darker part of his nature and at last be at peace with his wolf."
nobody spoke for a minute, before cat spoke up. "What does the girl get out of it? I mean, it's great for the guy and everything, but what about the hole in her soul?" her voice was nearly
a whisper. Sophia smiled at cat, and looked at everyone scattered around the room, including fane, and said, with her voice full of meaning,
"she gets a man who will love her completely and faithfully. She gets a man who will not only save her life, but lay down his own to keep her safe. He will provide for her no matter the cost, he will shelter her from all storms to come their way; he will bring a smile to her face when no one else can. She gets a friend, a lover, a mate, the only man who can in world who can complete her and give her the other half of her soul." Sophia looked around the room again.
Amy, Eva, Daniel and Alex weren't looking at them, but by way Daniel and Amy sat together told her they'd been touched by her story. Beck and jade sat secluded in a corner, having a private conversation, with love in their eyes and radiating from their faces. Tori sat with Andre, leaning slightly on him as she brushed tears out of her eyes. Cat and Robbie sat together looking at her, with cat sitting next to Robbie, who had an arm draped around her shoulders.
Sophia looked at fane. Do you mean that my Luna? he asked her using their bond. Every word, she replied. Fane leaned down and pressed a sweet kiss to her lips. She smiled. Then Eva broke the comfortable silence. "Where's Alex?" she cried.
