Jenna frowned. She really wished her father would come around sometimes- not everyone was out to hurt her. She took a drink of her soda, becoming silent.

Dante glanced down at her then with a grin. "So when was it that you guessed I was the lead singer of the band?"

"When Leela started talking to you, she's very picky on men she talks to," she answered and crinkled her nose. "Although your comment about feeling for myself was odd, since I'd just asked what Dante looked like...." She tilted her head toward him, smiling. "Mostly it was Leela though..." She shrugged.

Dante cocked his head to the side. "Yeah, I guess that was a dead give away, huh?" He took a swig of beer before pausing.
"So...why didn't you tell me that you were the daughter of the Alpha when we met?"

"It's not a great intro," she answered. "Hi! I'm Jenna! My dad's the alpha and not matter where I go his influence is around and there is someone watching! How are you?" Her voice was cheery but sarcastic. "Also, why would I flat out tell someone that, when that tends to push people away?" she asked. "Why didn't you tell me you were Dante when we met? You kept me guessing until I had to go."

Dante took a minute to think about that himself and surprised himself with what he found. "Actually, I think it was much the same reason. I'm not sure if your aware or not, but I have a bit of a reputation for being a playboy." He shrugged. "I guess I wanted you to know me and decide that for yourself." He drew off with a laugh then. "Which I'm not going to lie, the rumors are all true so why I didn't want you to know I'm not sure."
He took another long swig of his beer, clearly unsettled with his own feelings.

"I know, you told me before..." she mumbled, looking a bit disheartened, but not angry. "It's not a bad thing at least, like I said earlier." Jenna smiled towards him. In her book, womanizer beat druggie any day.

Dante gazed down at her. "But I know most women don't think it's too good either." He drew off, turning and looking at all of the women dancing in the crowd. "Though when I look at them now I wonder why it was that I was ever attracted to them. They're all fake. From they're hair to they're..." he glanced at her with a grin. "Well, you can pretty much guess." He shrugged, turning to her and looking her over from head to toe. "But not you. You are real, and for some reason I find that comforting."

Jenna turned a rosy color. She looked down, feeling very flattered. "I wish I could say the same, that...the guys I've dated were physically fake. Turns out I just find jerks and abusive assholes," she muttered, the blush vanishing. "You aren't a jerk though...At least, you haven't been to me," she commented with a slight smile a moment later, her head still down in thought about something. She finally lifted her head a bit, tilting it towards him. "You told my dad you weren't going to let anyone hurt me..." She frowned deeper. "Why?"

Dante looked away from her, clearly uncomfortable even though she couldn't see him. He was silent a long moment before shrugging. "I'm not sure. It's not that I find you weak, because I know you're not. It's just...for some reason it feels...natural, for me to protect you." He cleared his throat, figiting on his stool. "If anyone were to hear me say that I'd never live it down."

Jenna flushed red and smiled a bit. "Ah, I see...Well I'm glad it feels natural. It feels natural on my end to not be around you if that makes you feel better..." She shifted a bit, smiling shyly again. "and I am weak. My dad put me through karate, but honestly, what am I going to hit without being close?"

Dante shook his head. "Your stronger than you think; I can see it in you. It's what makes the animal in me see you as an equal."

Jenna hummed. "I can't shift very easily...And my dad's never encouraged me to shift, so I haven't done it since puberty." She frowned sadly, wishing she could be like her pack members. "I miss the feeling though. Do you shift a lot?"

Dante laughed then. "I shifted the first night you were here, actually." He drew off. "But not as much as I used to. I'm not full blooded. And my changed form is a bit different than normal."

Jenna blinked. "How so? You smell like a full breed to me," she commented. "I'm a half-breed, and I smell human..."
