Interview with
Decebel, Alpha of the Serbian Pack and Mate to Jennifer
*How does it feel to
be an Alpha again?
Like putting on a well worn glove that has been off for far
too long. I’m an Alpha, it’s who I am and refusing to take that roll was
tearing me apart though I did not realize it. But I couldn’t be a good Alpha
without my mate at my side, so maybe that’s why it has taken so long. I was
waiting for the brat to grow up.
*Do you miss being a
Beta at all? If so, what is it?
I miss having the closeness that I had with Vasile. There is
something special between and Alpha and his Beta.
*Does Jen really
annoy you that much? Would you change anything about her?
Frustrate me, drive me insane, worry me, keep me alert and
on my toes—yes, annoy me—no. I could not and would not change a thing about her
because then she would not be my Jennifer.
*What did you truly
think when you finally figured out that Jen was your mate?
The Fates knew what they were doing when they destined her
for me. I could not be with someone with less spine than her, I would crush
their spirit. I could not be with someone who didn’t know her worth and have
her own confidence in herself because I’m so dominate that it’s her confidence
that will help my wolf not try to put her in a bubble to keep her safe from
every little thing.
*In Just One Drop and
Out Of The Dark Fane and you seem to grow a bit closer as “friends”, do you
still have that relationship?
For so long Fane has been Vasile’s son, and I didn’t realize
that he had grown into a strong, dominant male. When we were going through all
of those difficult situations and I was seeing him protect his mate I realized
for the first time that Fane was no longer the boy I knew, but nearly close to
my equal and one day will be.
*What is your
favorite song that Jen has “danced” too?
(hehe!)
A song that was played in the privacy of our bedroom where
for once I was her only audience and unlike my mate I do not share what goes on
behind closed doors.
*Since we only know a
little bit about your past, what is your favorite childhood memory?
When I was young it was a nightly ritual for us to gather
around the fire just before bed and my father would tell us a story. He was the
best story teller. I don’t talk about my past much, but that is a time that I
like to remember.
*What do you really do in your downtime?
*chuckles* You ask like it must be something utterly
interesting. I spend time sparring with Jennifer, teaching her how to defend
herself in her human and wolf form. I enjoy reading, though I prefer to read
the classics. And I love to just sit with my mate and listen to her talk—she
rarely stops but that’s alright because I love the way she makes me laugh. I’ve
met no other who makes me laugh and feel at ease even in these dark times the
way she can.
*How are you handling
the ultimatum the Fates have thrown at you?
*Deep sigh* How does any man handle the idea of losing his
child, and knowing his mate will suffer such a devastating loss? I’ve made a
choice. It is not one that I am totally at ease with, but it is necessary and
sometimes what is necessary sucks. Jennifer will always come first, and I know
she won’t handle my choice well, but she will live, and our daughter will live
and that is what matters to me.
