Ok, I found some interesting stuff I had posted prior during my reread. All was discussed and many things were address already by Faith, but here's some stuff...Sorry for any typos/mistakes.
:Star: MB
Ok so very interesting stuff from Selena in book 2 about the prophesy and things I never noticed before. Too much to list but interesting choices of words....like the creature who will help us. Then she says only the person who will save us will know all of the secret prophesy. Also that we all suffer for the sins the Sons committed. And the cross of sin or something. Interesting stuff.
Not sure if this is important or not but when little Evan and Angie were in the witch circle, little Evan had a pinkish spell over him by the witches. The only other person that made pinkish spells I know of is Evelina. Also there was a grey spell over Angie and Angie wielded black spells. And the stone which started out pinkish, when blood was added turned red (like the thorns) and emitted red light. And the cross glowed white.
Ok, more to make you heads hurt. Here goes... When Jane is with Rick at the end of book 2 and into MB, when they have sex, is it unprotected? I mean Beast always says things in the series about sex without mating and how sad and pointless and always notices when women are not fertile, so... Is she having sex with the intent for "kits"? Wouldn't Rick, since he's so loose, use protection or question her for not asking about birth control? Does that mean that Leo can sire children even though he's a vamp (because Beast wants to mate with him also)? I assume there is no birth control on Jane's side if Beast would not be so content, nor do I think Rick would be so worried about the were thing... And then does that mean that Rick was having unprotected sex with the panther were? Is he maybe snipped? Doesn't he worry about disease or does Leo's blood sips cure him on Std's?
Another thing...Rick is a cop and it seems not overly rich. When they 1st went out before they dated, they went Dutch. Then he finally asks her out but for beers and burgers hides treat which never happened bc the kids were kidnapped. then they dated for a little over a month. He seems to keep trying to make time for her while undercover. But like I said, not a rich man, but he buys her a pound of her favorite tea for $120 and a new BBQ grill... Guilty conscious???
And if I have the timing right, he was already sleeping with the were cat when they went to her apt to pack her up and he also know of the wolves bc he made 2 b grade movie comments. They got back and he left real quick after lots of calls and testing in the car ride back with Jane's stuff. He made plans for breakfast the next day. He didn't seem in too deep at this point, so I'm thinking he meets up with the wolves right away and gets in trouble and tries to tell her by showing up with the crazy wolf at their diner a few hours earlier. Funny thing is that she almost could have overlapped him with the wolves at that time... Lol... They probably just missed each other. How can Rick keep it up with all the sex????
I assume love bite means breaking the skin, right? I am thinking this (the bite) hasn't happened just yet or Jane would have noticed some broken skin on Rick during their trip to her place. And regular kissing wouldn't pass it I assume. As for Rick and Jane, so Beast permits use of a condom in love making and is content? Wow, shocking.
And here is discussion stuff...
Ok, but one thing I did think of while reading last night...I bet it wasn't just his undercover way this time...the more I think of it, even if Rick wasn't gonna sleep his way into the investigation, I think Leo told him to on this one. I think Leo may have told him to sleep with Jane originally and I think he wanted to himself, and may have had Jane wanted him to, but when Jane asked in book 2, did Leo ask you to sleep with me, he got all mad and said no one tells me who to sleep with. I think that even though Rick was Leo's he had Katie to somewhat protect him because of their family relation. Now Katie is unavailable, so if or when Leo asked Rick to sleep with the were leopard chick, I think he had to (on this reread I am realizing that Leo is not all that nice when it comes to dictation who sleeps with who or who gives blood to who). As for the wolves, I don't think Leo knew they were around yet, so that was all Rick's own fault, though I think he may have just gotten in too deep and maybe never planned to sleep with the crazy wolf chick. I haven't gotten that far into the reread. I may change my mind or discover something.
It was bugging me on the reread. I kept thinking about Beast and her comments about sex without mating and how pointless and sad...then I wondered how would Beast let Jane use some sort of birth control when she wanted Jane to mate for kits. Then I was wondering when and how Rick may have contracted the were virus...like was it before Jane and his trip or after and if before, why didn't Jane pick up on it Especially if it were by bite, but then I wondered if Rick was having unprotected sex and then no bite would be necessary in that case...but wouldn't he smell different if he were infected or even have some left over sent of her somewhere (on clothes, etc) even after a shower, etc.). Sorry, I'm probably over-thinking. I am thinking that he was having sex, but protected before their trip, but didn't catch it until she bit him after they got back and he left saying they'd meet for breakfast next day and that was why the green guy came and killed the were panther.
I am thinking yes, only because when the were was on TV and said that sex is forbidden with human because of the spread of the were contagion, his tightened up...then he didn't talk any more and ran out the minute they got back. No more making out or touching. I think he just pecked her a kiss goodbye on the cheek. It could be a few things...He could be nervous of spreading the contagion to Jane (if he hadn't already), he could be feeling guilty because one of the phone calls or texts could have ordered him to have sex or woo the were panther chick (but could he really order him if it is forbidden fro the weres to do it and if it makes Rick s were- I think not- I think Leo ordered before it was known it was forbidden and therefore he probably already had sex with her)....I am thinking this because in order for the were panther to like him so much to try and change him you'd think they have been having relations for a little while. Now, the last option...he didn't have sex would mean that he woo'ed the were panther chick so much in a day that the were wolf chick was told and the wolf took him from the panther the same day that Rick and the panther 1st had sex (I have to reread but I think it all happened the same day)?
But if he hadn't already had sex with either were, why would he knowing he could catch it even if ordered? Isn't that too much of a risk even for the investigation? I assumed the were cat was by choice but the wolf was not. I also wonder if he was upset that Jane didn't say anything after the TV telecast, because I do think he wonders if she is a were or at least that cat who saved him and if so, then maybe him getting upset was because he thought he could catch it from Jane? or could Leo have discussed what he heard in the red thorn circle with him? Gosh I hope we find out in the next one!
Or maybe he thought he may have been infected by the sabertooth lion guy...or maybe he was???? Do we know if Jane can spread skinwalker? I'd think not because wasn't her mom a normal human? But if she could, could you imagine if she had infected an old boyfriend and finds out somewhere down the road? eeek
*edited for injected to infected...LOL
Interesting, as Jane enters the house after the cued with Gee and the wolves, and after checking in with Leo and Bruiser hinting at knowing what Rick was up to, the wards from Molly and now Evelina tingled and kinda hurt but were BLUE. Was that when she picked up the spell? Or was it something from Gee left on her? Could it be that Gee did the spell and not EVIL-Ine like we thought and why Angie warned Jane of Gee? So confused.
Ok so I know she was hurt when she went for her breakfast date but as hurt as she was, she even said to herself that Rick isn't stupid, he was giving her a message. Rick has always been a stand-up guy and therefore would break up with her in person if that was what he was doing, not leave her stood up in a public place with others that knew them to tell her. No not like him. I think he would think after the whole TV thing and were stuff that he'd think she knew he was undercover, so even if he was out with another woman and one who didn't fit any of his sister or acquaintances, it didn't necessarily mean anything. I do understand rejection and how it clouds everything, but why the heck didn't she ask what table he was at and sniff to see if it were were. If she had shed smell the same one from the night before... And maybe even smell if sex was involved?
And if Evangelina is working with glamor to look younger, was it ever proven that it was the cat at the diner with a wig? Could it have been Evangelina in some glamor... And she does gave red hair. Rick wouldn't have been able to tell.
Ok 2 things from the party
1. How did (if she did) Jane claw Kenni?
2. Never noticed this before but Sabina comes to her and tells her she only scented such creatures once before and that was when they went to the Eldest Son of darkness and he was slain by a lion or a leopard... That tells me 2 things... One it wasn't a skin walker since she smelled the impostor of Leo's son(unless his smell was too morphed). And that therefore it wasn't a skinwalker but a were at who killed him. And she says you have allowed such a beast into this "domain". I was thinking she was talking of Kennobi, but could it be Gee or the green man?
think he was definitely undercover and met the were cat before their trip. As to whether he has sex- I'm not sure the tensing after hearing the TV about the sex and bites as transmission of the contagion and the way he left with the quick kiss on the cheek could be because
a. he had been bitten or had sex with the were cat
b. he thought Jane was a were and may have infected him and still hadn't told him
c. He knew he might have to sleep with the were cat under Leo's orders
And speaking of Leo- why would he say to Kenni that Jane was good for his bed if were aren't allowed to sleep with humans for fear of spreading the virus? Was he publicly announcing that Jane wasn't human? Was he just testing to see what the were panther would do? Would he really have forced Jane to sleep with him? (He does have that right of kings way- which BTW is why I think Jane has such issues with Bruiser because Bruiser grew up with his mother prostituting herself to provide for him and his sister. He understands sacrifice and will have no issue sleeping with someone if Leo dictates it like there is nothing wrong with it because Leo has taken him under his wing and been good to him and so he will be loyal).
I think I have the order off...
So between the time Rick left, Jane went to the wolves and was saved and spelled by Gee, then went to vamp headquarters, met with Leo and then Bruiser. She went home and through buzzing wards on the house to a drunken Evagelina who I think spelled her at this point and eats dinner and had a good time at the witch conference because George likes her and Molly thinks so, too. At some point she noticed Gee watching her from where Rick used to. She went out again and came home and turned to into Beast. She found out the wolves were hunting in her territory and that the female were cat was following. Then she calls a cab and has him take her home where she changes clothes and has the cab take her to her breakfast date with Rick. He was there earlier with the other redheaded chick. She is all mad and goes to meet with the security guys at vamp central. She then goes to the karate master and then slept. She gets ready for the party ad wears the dress Bruiser told her to and Bruiser picks her up and actually stares at Evagelina like he 1st noticed her. They go in the limo to the vamp party. The green guy is secured until teh wolves arrived and all went FUBAR. The were female cat disappeared the moment the wolves came. She was killed and then Katie came upon her and then attacked Leo. Sooo if Rick was with the were cat, it had to have been between the time when she tracked the wolf kill and if she was with Rick before, would she have smelled Rick? (which was probably just hours before the breakfast date) to the time of the party.
I thought of that after I said it that Evie is tall, but she does seem to have glamor. I just don;t see the wolf chick as sane enough to sit through a diner meal. I think it was the were cat. I think the wolf only 1st ahold of Rick and by force at the party once the cat was dead (but I may change my mind as I keep reading). I think though that he knew something was wrong at the diner or he wouldn't have gone there and needed her help (or maybe he was saying he was undercover not just ditching her).
