Chapter 2

"They should be here within the hour. We have to take the couple quickly before they enter the house. Two weeks isn't much time to get them acclimated however, that is all we have to work with at the moment. We may be able to stretch it out longer, but that is not a certainty." Evie told the mixed group of ten men and women gathered around her. They were all well trained individuals that worked for Wolfe Security and Investigation. The entire group were also all members of the same pack.

Marcus, their boss and alpha, nodded in agreement. "We cannot let Jane sense us coming. We don't want to hurt or traumatize either woman any more than necessary. Use the tranqs and get them both into the house as soon as possible. Everything will be explained to the pair when they awaken. Everyone knows where they're supposed to be and what they are supposed to do. Now move out and wait for my signal."

The men and women hurried off to stand guard at their posts until the time came for them to act.

"You know Jane's not going to be easy to convince. From all we have found out about her, she is very stubborn and doesn't like change or surprises much. Maura is also stubborn and will turn to science to explain all of this. She will most likely have a hard time accepting the magical and spiritual aspects of this whole situation. From the way she dresses it's a good thing she is to become the most glamorous of wolves, the snowy white. I would hate to see her dressing in designer dog outfits to try and shine among all the other gray wolves. Her white coat alone should do it for her, I hope. She and Jane will look magnificent together. They make a beautiful pairing in human form, which will carry over to their wolves nicely." Evie leaned closer to her mate as they settled down to wait.

Marcus wrapped his arm around his wife's shoulder. "Our scouts mentioned that they had seen the two women holding hands and exchanging a few gentle and seemingly loving kisses. This trip might be about more than the two of them simply getting away for some R and R. They may have finally decided to take their relationship to the next level."

"I hope so. It will only make it easier for them in the long run. When their wolves scent each other they will be driven to claim one another and their inner most feelings they have for one another will be revealed when they bond. I'm glad they will have their mate by their side while going through this transition. It will help ease the strain and they will learn to work together, though from all our research they already do that well. I believe our biggest hurdle will be them accepting the fact they are werewolves and the future leaders of all Lycan kind and prominent figures within the entire supernatural realm."

"I agree. I have a feeling they both are going to be naturals when it comes to their duties and neither will need much training as most would. I am only glad that the internal power of the alpha will not wake in them for at least a week I hope, gives us time to get the pair used to who they will be somewhat, before they have the power to make our wolves bow to them." Marcus kissed Evie.

"On that I concur. I wonder how long it will be before they are able to do that to us as well, my mate."

Marcus sighed wondering the same.

Jane paused as the "cabin" came into view across the large private lake. The freakin' place was gorgeous and huge. There were several large windows across the back of the house that over looked the lake. A large deck that extended out beyond the covered porch ran across the rear of the large log home. A stone walk way led from the house to a dock with a boathouse nearby. This was Maura's little cabin in the woods? This was a freakin' resort in the woods. "Your grandfather must have really loved you."

Maura laughed. "Yes, we were pretty close. He seemed to see me beyond the independent, genius little girl who had a hard time relating to people. He took time with me, drew me out of my books, and would have me explore the lake and property with him. He was a very smart man and I learned a lot from him. I miss him greatly. My grandfather passed away when I was ten years old. I always feel close to him when I come here. He would have really like you. He hated snooty rich people too." The doc smiled and squeezed Jane's hand.

"Sounds like my kinda guy." The taller woman lifted Maura's hand to her lips kissing her love's knuckles. "I am glad you had someone like him in your life even if it was only for a short time. Your grandfather sounds like a really special man."

Maura could only smile. Her emotions were too close to the surface for her to speak at that moment. Jane touched her in ways that no one ever had and deeper than she ever thought possible. Her grandfather would have definitely approved of her Jane.

They drove on around the lake to the front of the house. The covered porch was deep and wrapped around the house. There was a bench swing and rocking chairs arranged on the porch. It was all very cozy and inviting. "This place is beautiful, baby."

Maura loved it when endearments slipped from Jane like that; she doubted Jane even realized she was doing it. "Thank you. I had the caretakers open it up and freshen everything and fully stock the place. They have instructions to only come by if we call them, so we shouldn't be disturbed unannounced."

Jane and Maura both happily climbed out of the SUV each feeling the sting of an insect bite on their backs shortly before everything started to go black and Jo Friday began barking in his pet carrier in the backseat of the vehicle. The couple had decided leave Bass to be looked after by Angela.

Neither woman hit the ground. Both were immediately scooped up, their unconscious bodies carried with great care into the log home and up to the master suite.

Thanks for all the response so far, please keep it up.
