Revenge of the Wolf

Chapter 2 - Total eclipse of the heart.

Jade's POV

Time: About 3 weeks ago.

As I said, this started with a party.

It was a warm breezy Saturday night in Los Angeles, but far from an ordinary one. This particular night was the annual celebration to commemorate the formation of the wizard council some 1100 years ago. Since that time, the council, made up of 7 members watched over and ruled the wizards that secretly existed in this world. They set policy, enforced rules and guarded their members and their secret existence.

The 1100th anniversary, which normally is rather low key, was a bit more of a spectacular affair. The council would be present and wizard's from round the world would be attending. However, for the first time in centuries, two non-wizards had been invited.

Those two special guests were of course were Tori and I. They had invited me of course as a gesture of goodwill and friendship to the werewolf community, which I was the head of. Tori had been invited as she was my mate, but in addition she was asked if she would like to sing at the party. She had released an album last year, which got good reviews and produced a minor hit. Naturally, Tori accepted and we planned a rare evening out. With three children and lot's going on, we don't get out as a couple all that much. A night out was needed, as we'd been beginning to snap at each other in recent weeks.

It was just before 6:30 and I was in our bedroom, slipping into a simple but stunning, black sleeveless dress. My hair was done in broad curl's, make up, including ruby red lips, done to perfection and as always I wore my wolf's head necklace. It identified me as a member of the royal house and allowed me to transform to and from wolf form without changing back. Naturally, Tori was wearing hers as well.

"Vega, zip up the back of my dress."

Tori who was in the adjoining bathroom, didn't respond.

"Did you hear me Vega?" I grunted with annoyance.

"Yes I did." Came the response in a rather innocent tone of voice.

"Then why didn't you. The back of my dress won't zip itself."

"You didn't say please. You know that word polite people use when they want something. It's one of those things called manners."

Irritated by her implication that I was without manners, I searched my mind for a good comeback but was interrupted by a child's voice from the doorway. "I'll do it for you mama! Can I?"

Smiling, I looked to see my 3-and-a-half-year-old daughter Fiona standing in the doorway.

"Yes of course you can. Why don't you hop on the bed and zip me up."

With boundless energy, the little girl ran up onto the bed and then when I turned her back, zipped up the zipper.

"You look very pretty mommy Jade. Can I come to the party?"

"No, this is a grownup party. But someday when you're queen. You'll get to go to all kinds of parties. Besides, your mama Tori and I need a night out. Don't worry, your nanny Cassie, and Olga will be here. Plus, grandma and grandpa Vega will be coming over soon."

"They just got here. Cassie told me to tell you."

"They're here?" Said Tori, who looked breathtaking, in a red sparkly dress.
