Julio's Wolf

“I made all of this to go with the rings you and Alpha Daurensbourg bought the other day.”


“They’re beautiful, Mr. Blanc. Can you engrave the inside of the card case, For My Wolf, Love, Julio? Put it underneath where the cards go to keep it away from prying eyes. I know it’s a rush but can you get that done in thirty minutes? They’re expecting us home soon.” After looking around to see where Sean and Ian went, Julio lowered his voice, “I also need six groomsmen gifts. Tie tacks showing a wolf with ruby eyes done in yellow gold, and I see you have some Caswell-Massey. I should get Donal something extra because he is the best man. Could you give me the complete line with the sandalwood scent?”


“Of course, Alpha Mate.” Mr. Blanc brought out a sheet of paper. “You need to pick out a letter style for the business card case.”
