puzzle.
"What is it?" Worry churned his stomach. He was glad he hadn't eaten breakfast
yet.
Parker turned him around. "Anthony, what did you do?"
"I thought I claimed him for the pack."
Silver shook his head. "I think you claimed him as one of your family."
"What does that mean?" Parker asked, tilting Elliott's head to one side. "You've got
a small lightning bolt burned into your neck."
"You're marked by the gods. My father mentioned it when I was younger." Anthony
turned pale. "It's what the gods do when they are amassing an army. I essentially just
claimed you."
"But he's my mate," Parker growled.
Anthony took a step back. "I didn't mean claiming as my mate. I meant he was one
of my soldiers. As a demi-god I have the ability to choose those who will answer my call
if I run into trouble, a sort of backup guard. My grandfather must have found you worthy
or I wouldn't have been able to mark you."
Elliott felt a rush of pride even as Parker growled behind him.
"Why aren't I marked?" Silver asked his mate.
Anthony laughed. "You're my mate. You don't need to be marked in order to know
when I need help."
"Try me." Dare pushed his way in front of the crowd, his mate Steven close behind.
"Try you?" Silver's tone was little more than a growl as the weretiger approached.
"See if I can be a guard. I want to guard." He sounded like a little kid who wanted to
join in the game at the playground.
Anthony laughed. "I'm not really sure how it works. I'm only supposed to be able to
do this when there's trouble coming."
"We are being stalked by mutants. I think that counts as trouble," Silver said.
Elliott didn't feel any different other than the pain in his neck. "Do I get any powers?"
Anthony shook his head. "You're a werewolf, not a superhero. I can't give you
anything you weren't born with."
"Huh." It was a little disappointing when you couldn't even get any abilities from a
demi-god.
Dare was pronounced a soldier when a small lightning bolt appeared on his neck
but Steven failed the test. Dillon and Thomas received a lightning bolt but Ben didn't.
"You try it," Elliott said, pushing his mate towards Anthony.
Parker failed.
"How is that possible?" Parker asked. "I'm more trained to be a protector than
Elliott."
"I have a theory," Elliott offered, stepping forward.
"I think only one half of a mating can bond with Anthony. In Ben's case he has two
mates so he's the one who didn't bond. I had already bonded and so had Dare, which
is why Steven and Parker didn't qualify."
"I think you're right," Anthony said, looking around. "Because if you were in danger
Parker would know so there's no reason to bond with him too. I think my power is
seeking the easiest way to mark the greatest number of people."
Silver shook his head. "It doesn't make any sense because I can call my people
anyway."
"But what if you weren't there? If something happened and you weren't there for me
I can still call the entire pack."
The alpha appeared to mull the idea over in his head. "I like that. It also helps
cement your position as the alpha mate."
Elliott doubted Anthony needed any help in that area but he refrained from
speaking. Parker wasn't as wise.
"Anthony doesn't need help with that. We all respect him," Parker spoke up.
"I meant more for outside the pack," Silver said. "When he goes to larger meetings.
If the other alphas see him as strong on his own, without me for support, they'll be less
likely to try to intimidate him."
Parker laughed, along with most of the other shifters in the room.
"Somehow, I think it would take more than a few alpha wolves to intimidate our
Anthony," Parker said. There were mutterings of agreement in the pack.
Looking around, Elliott felt a part of something bigger. Despite just meeting most of
the people surrounding him, he felt a warm glow of belonging. This was what he always
thought a pack should like. Family.
Elliott leaned back against his mate when Parker wrapped his big arms around him
encircling Elliott in his loving embrace.
He could get used to this; all they had to do now was get rid of the growing army of
mutants. Looking around at the people surrounding him, Elliott felt a strong sense that
they could do it.

Literary Nymphs Reviews gives Jaynell's Wolf 5 Nymphs!
Jaynell Marley arrives at Mayell Wizard Academy to complete his training. Jay had
already had years of advanced private tutoring, therefore his school enrollment is
more to honor his father's wishes. Joining his new dorm roommates for pizza, Jay
literally bumps into werekin Thomas Sparks. A sniff at Jay's neck has Thomas
proclaiming that Jay is his mate.
Jaynell's Wolf is the first book in the Wizard's Touch series. The plot is well
written plus vastly entertaining. The main characters are impressive, along with
amusing secondary characters. Jaynell is a powerful wizard who wonders why his
father insisted that Jay attend a school when it is clear Jay surpasses everyone in
magical skills. However, Jay has an unpretentious personality. Thomas is a [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
