<strong>"No idea about Russia - never been there either"</strong>, the hunky macho man, turning the head momentarily to Lugoj, who seemed to come from Mother Russia.<strong>"You are very ...sophisticated, dear Alexa"</strong>, Puternic picked up the words carefully to praise the new member of his pack without looking submissive, even though she was not yet quite aware of her fate. Alexa's description of her background enticed his curiosity even more - he would explore that later. As a patriot, dozens of questions came to his mind when she mentioned Wallachia, the heart of the great Romania country in the south.<br/><br/>After sipping a bit the wine - Puternic was not very fond of that wine, whose aromas and flavors were not well-defined and clearly projected -, the werewolf grimaced a bit. Alexa's face did not show any reaction to the taste. However, her taste buds had certainly appointed how cheap that wine was. Once more, his protective, feeding Alpha kicked in.<br/><br/><strong>"Let me make this wine better for you"</strong>, Puternic said, grabbing with his right arm a knife for cutting pain on the table and cutting his left arm, right in the middle of his forearm. Using his dominant gaze to keep Alexa's primal instincts at bay, he let some of his own blood trickle on her glass.<strong>"I am sure it will taste better now"</strong>, he concluded exuding the confidence only Puternic knew how to show.<br/><br/><strong>"I am from Bucharest, Alexa. And my pack is....."</strong>, the werewolf halted...That is when the pixie entered the room. Puternic just could not contain himself.<strong>"there waiting for me"</strong>, he ended his words in a much lower tone.<br/><br/><strong>"Yes, come in"</strong>, Puternic added with a rather dominant gaze. Looking around, he did not see any place for the stranger to seat.<strong>"Why don't you seat here?"</strong>, the werewolf smiled and winked, showing his lap for the little pixie. Wearing nothing but a jeans bermuda, his large, hunky body was far larger than the deliciously petite female. That creature could  need protection in the Vampire Inn and Puternic would be there, if necessary.
