SILVER MOON PACKHOUSE
Destruction. Devastation. Fear. Rage.
The packhouse was torn apart. Everyone was hiding in rooms, corners, closets.
Alpha Blake was out of control. It had been 6 months since she fled. 6 long months! There was no sight of her anywhere. "How does a pathetic she-wolf just disappear off the face of the friggin' earth!" Blake bellowed. Everyone shivered and quaked, bowing their heads and not daring to move. "Where IS SHE!?"
Simeon, his Beta, entered the pack house exhausted. He glanced around. seeing the destruction it didn't take him long to realize what had been going on.
"TELL ME, DAMN IT, THAT YOU HAVE SOME GOOD NEWS..."Blake was panting, seething in fury. Simeon paused, bowed. "Get up and tell me where the hell she is! and how you plan on getting her back! She is MINE!" Simeon looked at who used to be his best friend, now a crazed lunatic posing as the Alpha.
He cleared his throat, "Alpha, I did kinda find where she is." He swallowed and took a deep breathe. "FINALLY! FINALLY SOMEONE IN THIS DAMN PACK IS WORTH THEIR ROOM AND BOARD!So..." he put his arm around his Beta. "So...where is she?" Blake took what felt like the first breath he had taken in months and retracted his claws. "Ummm. Well,she is ...she got...well..."
Blake was losing his patience again,"Spit it out NOW!" (using his Alpha command voice). "Blood moon pack." Simeon shut his eyes and braced himself. And just as he expected he flew across the pack dining room,hit the wall and collapsed unconscious. "WHAT THE HELL?"
Blake shifted and flew out the back door of the house, tearing it off the hinges.He ran into the forest and ran til he came to his own border. Then he plopped down.Breathing heavily, not so much from the run but from the anger that he was feeling. Anger at himself. Anger at the hunter (worthless piece of humanity). Anger at Simeon. Anger at his pack. Anger at her. Anger...no, not anger...RAGE! He was slowly losing it.He was going insane. Of all the damn packs in all the damn world it would be the damn BLOOD MOON PACK! How she got that far impressed and annoyed him. How she managed to convince that pack to take her in baffled him.. "Maybe she is a pack slave there as well.That would make sense." That thought calmed him considerably. "If she is a slave there is a chance I can buy her or barter for her. Yes...that is what she is. Yea, that is what I will do! Wait...she is a WHITE FRICKIN' WOLF! There is no way under the Moon she is a slave as a white wolf,not in that pack." Blake now found himself and his wolf getting worked up again. That pack was one of two packs who kept all the legends alive... not to mention that the Blood Moon Pack was ferocious.
"Oh terrific! It just keeps getting better and better!"
Blake threw his head back and howled at the Moon.
BLOOD MOON PACK
Conrad and Cynthia sat down. Derek knocked. 'Alpha, Luna?"
"Come in." Conrad answered and pulled Cynthia onto his lap.
Derek entered, behind him was a very strikingly handsome, 6'2" wwll built, lean man. His skin was pale and his eyes were bright blue. His dirty blond hair hung shoulder length. He was, by most human standards, handsome. The man bowed, "Your Majesties." Derek shot him a strange look.
"You may leave , Derek." Conrad said.
"Alpha, sir, are you..." Derek started to protest leaving them alone. Cynthia shot Derek a look that said,"Really right now?"
Conrad grit his teeth,locked his jaw and stared at Derek.
"Yes, Alpha." Derek backed out of the office with his head bowed.
"What do we owe the pleasure of meeting you, Your Highness?" Cynthia calmly asked, with gentle smile on her face.
"Your Majesty, the pleasure is all mine. We heard you have come into your powers and are gathering supernaturals to align us once again. It has been a long time." He bowed his head.
Conrad spoke, "And who might you be?"
The man stood proud and tall, squared his shoulders but before he could speak Cynthia did, "My dearest, this would be the highest ranking Vampire in the Vampire Kingdom, am I right, King Vladimir?'
"My Lady, at your service." Vladimir bowed to one knee.
Cynthia slid off Conrad's lap, "It is we should be bowing to you, your Majesty." and she did! Conrad looked shocked. He grabbed Cynthia's arm to lift her up but she remained bowed and in fact, pulled Conrad down to his knee. He looked at her with confusion and annoyance...after all no Alpha bowed...wait...KING VLADIMIR!?? THE KING VLADIMIR ?
Conrad bowed deeply as did Tom,Steve, Simon and Timothy,all of whom were still in the office. Vladimir cleared his throat, "Well now this is awkward."
Cynthia chuckled and rose, the others followed her lead. She walked towards the Vampire, "Not at all. We respect your position and person. Is it not right to show that?"
"Perhaps, but it is I who am honored to be in your presence, King Conrad and Queen Cynthia."
Tom rolled his eyes, "Ok...ok...can we move on from the 'love fest" and discuss what we need to discuss already?!"
"Spoken like a true, impatient wolf!" Vladimir scoffed. "Listen Vamp! ..."
Tom began when Cynthia turned and cooked her eyebrow at him. He shut his mouth and closed his eyes. "UGH!" he groaned. Conrad's turn to chuckle now.
"Come. We should sit down and talk together." Conrad pointed to a chair near the desk. Cynthia stood beside the desk. Conrad sat behind the desk and pulled Cynthia onto his lap.
"So, how did you come to know?"
