Fantasy Bone Song

Zumitri
Custos Driveway
​

Either the pup's parents had died when he was born or he was too young to remember what parents were, for he began speaking of them being a fantasy like dragons and fairies. "Many would say that werewolves and vampires are also fantasies and yet here you are," said Zumitri. He could just imagine what Ordan's wolf would think if he saw a real live dragon...the stupid beast would probably get Ordan killed trying to hunt it. The pup also soon objected to becoming human. "I take it you don't have clothes," said Zumitri. "I assure you kid, parents are very real and while some are jerks...not all of them are. Parents should have their children's best interests at heart."

Ordan would have an aneurysm if he let some stranger in his house. He wasn't entirely sure if his friend even had child clothing but wouldn't put it past him on the off chance a pup did come seeking help. Getting to his feet, Zumitri walked back to the car and popped the trunk, shifting stuff around before pulling out an old shirt and shutting his trunk, carrying it towards the kid and dropping it on the ground. "You can use that until we manage to get you some clothes but that means a detour." Basically if the kid didn't have clothes, Zumitri would need to get the kid clothes somewhere else. He didn't have any at home given he did not have children. That meant a trip to either the mall in Rapid City or the thrift store in Ithawell. The thrift store might be a better option though it was all second hand stuff and he was somewhat reluctant to go there honestly. Mall it is, he thought to himself. "You can't stay here kid," said Zumitri. "As for why you were cold in human form, humans don't regulate temperature well like supernatural creatures. You probably weren't dressed in layers which is why you were cold but that can be taken care of come winter and isn't something you need to worry about anymore if you come with me and let me take care of you, as I believe Xen has agreed to," he said, glancing at the teen. "If I take you both in, it'll be my responsibility, my job, to take care of you both. I may not always be around with my work as a surgeon but I will do my best to take care of you both and ensure your protection from the packs and the humans who are clueless and not understanding." He really didn't want to take the kid of his own volition, that would create problems and dealing with an adolescent and a child who were werewolves was a big task already.

Being stuck in Xen's arms Nicholas was unable to move on about to equip the shirt as he looks up at Zum " I can't because dumnut is holding me " he growls lightly . " I dunno I've never seen a parent before and I can stay ... I just need to make another hiding hole..." he is a bit defiant and rough but he can't provide any real harm anyways. Slowly and painfully he grunts and yells as he converts back to human.

Zumitri sighed and looked at Xen. “Let the kid go Xen,” he said. Listening to the child yelping and grunting in pain as he turned into a human, Zumitri released another sigh. He couldn’t do anything to help that. “Nothing is going to get you at my house,” he said.

When Xen let go, he gestured towards the shirt again. “Do you have a name kid?” he questioned as he led them to his car.

Jaehwa
Location: Ordan’s suite | Interacting: Ordan ( scorpiodragon ), Eden ( Eliruz ) | Mentions: Xiulan​

It took a while for Ordan to find his thoughts; Jaehwa didn’t mind the wait. It was endearing how the other male stuttered. He was so used to being the one stammering that this change of pace was fun. Different. Unique. Patiently, he allowed his shoulders to relax as the alpha finally got out what he wanted to say: that now, with Xiulan, his attention needed to be redirected, although he still had to make time for himself. And Ordan, his mind added cheerfully, which caused a momentary hesitation. “I understand,” he agreed with a nod of his head.

Eden then excused herself, effectively leaving him alone with the Ordan, which alit something in him that he wasn’t quite sure how to handle. He waved her a curt goodbye, his entire focus now on the man beside him, his wolf way too excited at that prospect. Nuzzle him, came a stray thought, one that he shoved away immediately. Instead of following that desire, he listened plainly to the alpha as he talked of the future funding for the pack. This brought up a lot of internal interjections on Jaehwa’s side. He tried to work up the confidence to make those interjections vocal, but was failing in that department, much to his dismay.

“I will,” he said regarding taking up a job where he could get one. “I don’t think more education is for me, but there has to be something out there I can do that will provide for me and her.” A fond smile parted Jaehwa’s lips. “Thank you,” he spoke gratefully, his eyes brighter than they had been when he’d first burst into the room. “It means a lot to me, you know,” he began with the intention to say more, but chose to leave it simply at that.

Ordan squeezing his shoulder sent ecstasy down his spine. “I understand. It’ll all work out. But...” A pause as he stood up looking at everything but the alpha, a debate flashing behind his eyes. “What if I want to spend my new life with you?” It came out so softly, uncertainty tinted upon each syllable. “I didn’t trust my parents enough to want to go back home when I first turned; I still don’t want to go back. And I’ve grown attached, way too attached to you and everyone in the pack. I don’t think I’d want to keep going without you guys. Sure, I now have Xiulan to help me push through, but... Would you let me? I’m annoying and overprotective, I know, but would you let me stay by your side, even after we find the cure? That’s all I want: that stability, that promise. Can you give it to me?” His relationship with Ordan was so, so important to him. He couldn’t bare to lose it, even if the alpha feared otherwise.

​

“Maybe you can see about a career aptitude test,” suggested Ordan. The alpha was oblivious to the omega’s feelings for him. Thanking him for...Ordan could only guess the money...and funding for the pack in their future, the alpha nodded absently, silence falling between them until Jaehwa spoke again. Jaehwa’s next question surprised him, Ordan staring at Jaehwa, completely speechless. Achilles rumbled appreciatively at Jaehwa’s words, despite the softness in which they were uttered.

The alpha shook his heads as Jaehwa spoke, unable to find any words to each phrase uttered from his omega’s mouth. Was this confess to alpha wolf night? Were Silvia and Adesina going to come in as well and talk of undying loyalty and whatever else? Jaehwa continued talking to him and speaking of how he had grown attached to Ordan and the pack, how he couldn’t imagine a life without the alpha. He spoke of having Xiulan to push him forward but apparently a child did not satisfy Jaehwa.

“I don’t see you as annoying. Amusing yes...annoying no,” said Ordan. “Overprotective yes in some cases.” Ordan closed his good eye, turning his head away as Jaehwa spoke of wanting to stay with him, even after a cure was found. Telling the omega he was not sure he would take the cure himself nor that he might not have his memories of a cure was found. It was the only way Ordan saw them being at peace. If he said that the, Jaehwa would protest and make a fuss. It was likely better to lie.

What do I do? “Jaehwa, I am...Custos was made to give people like me a chance at a normal life with being cursed. To protect Ithawell...humanity...from Boreal and Lichen...from the four supernatural races. Also to protect humanity from...from the Blood Order. I have not thought what I would do after...if a cure is found. I do not really get why you are willing to stay here with me when you have a chance at freedom away from this life or why you would stay here. You would give to a safe life to stay with me and keep Xiulan here as well.

“I suppose...I suppose there is no harm in giving you and Xiulan at least stability” said Ordan at last. “I don’t really have much awaiting me if I become human again as it is.” Ordan sighed and moved on the bed. settling down as he lay the pillows down. Then laying down himself he closed his eye. “I’ll let you stay with me if it makes you happy. Now you can either stay here or go unpack but I am going to bed. If you could open the windows and the door to the balcony for fresh air, I would appreciate it.”

Jaehwa
Location: From Ordan's suite to Jaehwa's room | Interacting: Ordan & Xiulan ( scorpiodragon ), OPEN | Mentions: Adesina & Eden ( Eliruz ), Silvia ( Shaded )​

Worry struck Jaehwa's futures at Ordan's seeming reluctance to provide a reply to everything he'd just said. He briefly debated making a run for it, possibly jumping off the balcony if he had to, but, for some reason, his feet were rooted in place. The speechlessness of the alpha concerned him, yet it didn't take much more time for him to start speaking again, the break in the silence appreciated by the omega. Ordan started by saying he wasn't annoying, which caused a relieved sigh to escape Jaehwa's lips. Even still, there was hesitance in his alpha's eyes, and he tensed right back up.

"You don't have to answer me," he said gently, not wanting to cause Ordan any more distress. It was immediately after that, however, that the alpha continued, saying that all his goals were for the near future and not for after the cure was found. He went on to say that he didn't understand why Jaehwa would want to give away a safe life with Xiulan in favor of staying with him, which the omega understood. He'd yet to fully confess his newly discovered feelings, probably casting some amount of confusion upon their relationship. Even then, Jaehwa didn't feel up to declaring his love for the alpha yet, at least not romantically. That confidence would come with time, he hoped, perhaps even during this vacation.

Listening to the conclusion of Ordan's train of thought, Jaehwa smiled, utterly giddy. He'd just managed to accomplish getting a promise for something he feared the alpha wolf would refuse. "Thank you so much." There weren't enough words in the dictionary to express just how thankful he was. Now nuzzle him, came another stray thought, which was shoved away once again. As Ordan lay down, Jaehwa moved to open the windows and the balcony door, letting in the fresh air. A grin on his lips, he turned one last time to Ordan before he left the room. "I hereby dub thee the godfather of Xiulan," he said playfully, but there was a seriousness there that was hard to miss. "Goodnight." With that, he left.

The first order of business was to select a room. Jaehwa chose the first bedroom he came across, not too picky. The soothing beige walls and the fact that it had a desk both made it the best option for him. There was also plenty of space for a pack n play to be placed at the foot of the bed. Heading back downstairs, he headed to where he'd left Xiulan. Whether she was asleep or not didn't matter to him, even though he'd be sad if he woke her up. Bending over to hold the child, he cradled her in his arm, using the hand that was free to fold down the pack n play. It was a pretty difficult endeavor, and he ended up having to lay Xiulan down on the floor to undo everything, which made him feel like a horrible parent.

Cradling Xiulan again, Jaehwa carried both her and the folded pack n play to the room he'd picked out. Setting Xiulan on the center of the bed where she couldn't roll off even if she tried, he popped open the pack n play, attaching the bassinet before installing the tubes and mattress. Finished, he wiped the sweat off his forehead and moved Xiulan back into the make-shift crib. "There you go," he said, caressing her cheek fondly. "All done. I'm sorry you had to sit there on the bed for so long; I had no idea how to put this thing back together at first." Talking to a possibly asleep newborn who had no idea what he was saying was oddly relaxing for the omega. He didn't have to worry about slipping up or sounding foolish. She wouldn't judge him. "I'm going to go unpack now," he told her. "I'll be right back."

It took around an hour, but he'd finally brought up all the luggage to each pack members' room. Adesina and Ordan both had suites, leaving the last one for Eden who had snagged it before the others could. He found that amusing. Leaving the luggage for each of them either in or, in Ordan's case, outside their respective rooms, Jaehwa went to work unpacking his own stuff, occasionally getting distracted and winding up going to worriedly check on Xiulan. Once everything was handled and the entrance was cleared of both luggage and the stuff Jaehwa had bought, he was feeling tired. "Maybe I'll go to bed early," he mumbled to himself, unsure of what to do next.

Complying, Xen let go of the pup-turned-human. He stood back up and straightened his back, following Zumitri back to the car. "Or do you not have one?" he added, curious. "I knew a few fellow rogues who had to make up names because they didn't remember their birth ones."

Ordan’s Suite
​

“You’re welcome,” said Ordan as he was thanked for allowing Jaehwa to remain with him after a cure was found. He had to find a cure for his pack...it was the only way he could possibly live with himself. As Jaehwa got up and then opened the windows and the door to the balcony, the fresh air began flowing in and Ordan sighed, though was startled from his beginning dozing when Jaehwa said another thing that was unexpected. As the door closed, he went over the day’s events and sighed. Jaehwa was acting strangely. Eden was in love with him and he had gained a new pack member, and a child that Jaehwa was now father of. A child he was apparently a godfather of now. He didn’t even bother getting up, the exhaustion serving to render him on a train to Morpheus.

Xiulan

​

Xiulan slumbered the entire time her new father, well what she would realize was her father for it was doubtful she would realize how she had come to be within the pack of Custos, in the pack n play. Her hunger sated, she slept peacefully, safe and warm, not even stirring as her father came downstairs and moved infant and makeshift crib to a room. She did wake for a moment as she was set on the bed, gurgling aa Jaehwa spoke to her. By the time Jaehwa had come back and put her in the pack n play, Xiulan had gone back to sleep herself.

Zumitri
Custos Driveway to Rapport Mall
​

Zumitri got in the car, motioning Xen to get in. Waiting for the pup to get in the car, he would lean over and fasten the kid’s seatbelt in the back before getting in and doing his own, starting the car up. “We’re going to Rapport Mall to get you two clothes and maybe toys and bedding,” said Zumitri. “You cannot wander and cannot leave without me. Do not turn into werewolves either,” he said. If they were both buckled he would then go around the circle of the driveway and then heading down it to the road that would take him back to the main road.

Nicholas, feeling uneasy and nervous got the shirt on him and nipped Xen with his jaw before quickly getting in the car only to have his seatbelt fastened . His shirt luckily was covering him all the way to his feet which were bare. " can we get to eat the humans ?" He asks curiously

​

Zumitri jerked the wheel as he heard the pup’s comment, sending them off the the road before he got them back on. “No you do not eat humans or I will leave you with the human eating pack instead,” said Zumitri. Granted the doctor only knew it was to the north in the black hills. The drive was a good distance but when they got there, Zumitri again reiterated the ground rules before getting out of the car and beginning the shopping. He made good money as a surgeon but he didn’t do the things Ordan did to ensure the utilities were on and there was food and medical care for his pack.

The rest of the evening followed with shopping which was a difficult experience and taking the kids to the courthouse to push through the adoption, fudging the information he gave to the judge. Afterwards, he drive home and made his way towards home, the bags in the trunk. Zumitri shook his head as he picked up McDonald’s for the three and once dinner had been eaten in the restaurant which he regretted, Zumitri took the kids to his home and showed them their bedrooms, taking the shopping bags in and putting them in drawers in their respective dressers and wardrobes before bidding the children goodnight. Opening a cabinet, he pulled out a bottle of wine and poured himself a glass, sitting down at the table.

Ordan
Ordan’s Suite
​

The sun rose like every other day, the ocean breeze flowing through the Suite, serving to wake the alpha from his sleep. Ordan’s eye slowly opened as the light hit his face, serving to rouse him from slumber. Ordan groaned as he woke up and stumbled to the on-suite bath where he turned the shower on and removed his clothes before shutting the shower door. The alpha wrapped a towel around himself upon coming out of the shower and heading across his room to the bedroom door and opened it before seeing his luggage there. Grabbing his things, he pulled them into his room and spent the half hour putting things away, changing into jeans and a Hawaiian shirt, pulling sunglasses on over his eyes as he walked out of the room and down towards the first floor of the villa, heading towards the kitchen.

Figuring that no one was there or was too big of a coward he continued down the hall, finding his way to the prison bay by blowing the doors down with the help of his foot. The man was concentrated heavily into his objective as he busted open the prison cell to find Dominic to only say a few words " Basilia sends her reguards.." before he unloaded a full clip accurately in his body. One in the heart, two in each lung. One in stomach and rest in the intestines. With a single hack from his machete he decapitated the dead man , before it fell to the ground he holstered his pistol and grabbed the head, leaving the house with blood all over the floor as he makes his way to the blood order HQ.

Upon arrival he walks in the meeting room to have in his hands a bag. " it is done..." he tosses to he table the bag as it unravels itself and the head rolls for a good five seconds until it stops before her the dead target.

Rhea & Oliver
Lichen Villa
​

The half-siblings had gone with Blake and Paulina to the villa, settling into a room with two full beds and began unpacking, the siblings putting their clothing away and their bags in the closet. While Oliver went hunting and fed, Rhea had chilled in their room, opening a sketch pad and beginning to try sketching something for the first time in years. Oliver had brought back dinner for the group before going to his room and heading to sleep.

Morning found Oliver sitting at the pool, watching the sun rise until he was forced to go inside, lest he end up burning himself. Rhea was using the kitchen, preparing some breakfast from what little food was in the cupboards and fridge, mulling over the fact that she was now the only werewolf among vampires, Alana having died on a hunt before their vacation. It was a loss that none seemed to really care about or notice in the end, the aroma of food filling the lower floor, a window open to let in the morning breeze.

Basilia
Lounge, Blood Order HQ
​

Basilia took care of Malachi, feeding him as she waited to see if this defiler rank two would come back alive, Malachi staring at the woman as he nursed from the bottle the woman held. By the time M2 had come back, the infant had fallen asleep, Basilia holding the child in her arms. The woman looked up as said defiler entered the room with a bag before tossing it on the table, the head spilling coming out and rolling to a stop before her. “I was unaware you could speak. But well done...I am assuming there were no issues in the task assigned...in which case, very well done. Since you were so efficient, I am appointing you my personal Acolyte. You are free to find a room here or find a home in Ithawell...or out if you prefer.”

​

As morning rose, Eden stirred, finding herself lying on something cool, something that began shifting underneath her. She quickly cracked her eyes open to find bright light and the sound of crashing waves around her; what happened last night? She confessed her feelings to Ordan, Jae came in and nearly had a freak out, and then Eden left after talking with the two. Her ears lowered slowly as she stared out at the beautiful scene in front of her, trying to recollect what happened after seeing Adesina and SIlvia. With narrowing eyes, it finally came back to her; she'd followed Adesina and Silvia outside, hung out and guessed she passed out in wolf form when racing with Silvia? Shaking herself, she pushed her wolf form up and stretched out, her body arcing downwards.

A huff left her jowls and her paws quickly turned towards the house, a whine emitting from her chops; she was hungry but didn't want to be around at this point. She thought it'd just make her emotional again and she really just wanted to avoid everyone at this point; she felt..overwhelmed. Maybe she could just go inside and grab a snack, then just come back out here? Bobbing her head, she shook out the sand in her fur and began trotting towards the back door, that she'd left open. Pushing her wolf form through the crack, she sniffed around, smelling out some fruit but also smelled something else; it was Ordan. Her ears flattened as she froze and her eyes snapped towards the kitchen, her jade eyes stuck on his figure. A small breath left her nostrils, her fur twitching as she studied him; he looked good in casual clothing and sunglasses. Shaking away the thoughts, she quickly propped her large body onto a chair and snagged an apple before trotting back towards the door.

Stirring slightly in her bed, Evangeline let out a low groan and lifted a hand to rub her eyes; it was too early for her, but it seemed impossible to go back to sleep at this point. The sun was too bright as it filtered through her closed curtains and penetrated her sight. A sigh left her lips as she pushed herself out of bed, her petite frame stretching upwards and stretched the soreness of her muscles. "I wonder if anyone's up yet.." She mumbled and pushed herself off the foreign bed, grabbing clothes for a shower. Grumbling quietly to the bathroom, Eva finally stripped off her old clothes, got the shower ready and got in, her body relaxing underneath the warmth of the shower.

​

The small pup had fallen asleep against Harper the night before and was currently snuggled up into the female's side, her small form pressing closer to the vampire. Surprisingly, being around Vampires calmed her more than being around her own kind. Outside Harper's window, a bird began chirping, which caused Davina to whine and roll over, her face pressed into her care taker's shoulder, her body curling up tighter. "Five more minutes.." Whimpered the little pup as she raised her hands to her face and covered it up with her tiny fists. Last night had completely worn the little child up, her wounds tended to by Harper and Damion. The male was sitting in Harper's room, in a chair across the room, is legs crossed as he watched over the two; he wasn't the biggest fan of pups but this one seemed independent enough yet..there was something about her that sparked a maternal instinct in Harper, which he found somewhat odd.

Bitten or not, their species were enemies down to the cells in their bodies, which brought hate on out of nowhere, usually but he didn't hate Davina, just skeptical. His gaze trained on the whining pup, his eyes soon dropping on Harper's resting form, his expression softening for a single moment.

Hanah waked in her cell, when she heard sound of bowl hitting to floor near door of cell. As she looked up she saw door already closed, but bowl of suspicious stew front of it.

Harper C. Miller
Location: Harper’s Room
Interaction: Davina, Damion Eliruz

Having leaned her back against the backboard to her bed, the vampire was rather void of movement, her chest didn’t rise nor did her body twitch as she kept skillfully still. The brown haired and once Hispanic woman had fallen into a form of sleep. She hadn’t been able to knock that, after being turned she slept in some kind of way, she ended up laying still and just thinking of sorts. She hadn’t slipped into the state until after she had checked if Davina fell fast asleep. She enjoyed her company, Alex had once said wolves were nothing but mutts, and Davina was far from being a mutt. She was like her little sister, so maybe that’s why she didn’t mind sleeping with her, keeping her close, or giving her comfort when a werewolf stepped into the room—which left her where she was currently. Resting in bed, having returned yesterday—she was in the sun for too long, a reason why she had the curtains drawn and lights off.

Stirring slightly, Harper twitched a finger before she faintly heard Davina mumble about giving her more time. “Ugh, when will I loose this habit? Oh look, you’re still here,” she murmured softly flashing groggy and tired gray eyes towards the male. Damion was quite the brute, shaggy hair, beard, and brooding face. “Thank you for helping, Shaggy,” she murmured again, placing her hand on Davina’s brown haired crown, smoothing down her waves of hair before looking towards the brooding vampire. “I didn’t think you were serious, I thought you were joking about staying until morning,” she mused using her free hand to wipe at her face. She couldn’t deny the motherly feeling she had with Davina, of course she wouldn’t admit feeling sad for not having children or a real family again.

Silvia A. Brandt
Location: Beach
Interaction: @open

Silvery white paws were covered with sand, spiky fur poking out and her black toned maw was left ajar and her tongue lazily hanging out. Her legs—ones which hadn’t been drenched in sand were having water splash against her rear end. Her tail was soaked, fur clumped together and slim side heavy with thick fur. The weight was so unusual, her legs sore and head barely able to move as she peaked open a dark brown optics to see the sand around her was ruined with prints of paws and shoes—tracks and disheveled sand stood out from the smooth brown grains left untouched everywhere else. Silvia’s wolf form wasn’t as big as the last one she saw, her shoulders slumped and form slender aside from the tufts of fur that fluffed out with the breeze sweeping around her. Her coat was weighed down with mud and sand caked in it, her mind scrambled and a jumbled mess she could hardly decipher.

A whine left her maw, salt water splashing into her face enough to startle her, jumping up everything came rushing back. She shifted? Yes, someone had made a comment—Silvia was left blushing like crazy and that annoying voice in her head kept telling her to do something. Silvia couldn’t recall who said it, and what that voice was saying to her—Silvia was unsure of herself. She had remembered the sudden shift and ended up trying to play possibly, and in the end she raced around with Eden. All she could really recall was that Eden and her ran around, and now the soreness she felt was an after effect, but something else happened. Her fur burned of sorts, the heat, and even the mention of the night before left her unsure and frazzled.​

Geisha
Airport to Reclusive Beach
​

Despite trying to sniff out anyone who might be a mutt or a blood sucker, Geisha found only humans by scent. What scent she could pick up anyway, much to the woman’s disappointment. She sighed as she remained there for several hours, growing bored and hungry, before deciding to leave and making her way outside and continuing down the road to the parking lot before finding somewhere to shift and then heading back towards the reclusive beach where her family should still be. Along the way, she hitched a ride with a stranger who she seduced into taking her to the reclusive beach and delivering breakfast to her cousin, stopping at a diner to get a few meals. A meal, the beach and toying with the human male populace was a fun matter for the female cousins, despite being opposing races.

Khenan & Larimar
Reclusive Beach
​

While Geisha was at the airport, Khenan went fishing, finding a fish for his daughter’s dinner as he wasn’t entirely sure that his sister would end up coming back with food, given they didn’t have any valuables and hardly any money between them. While Abha ate the fish, his cousin emerged with the setting sun, the woman shaking her head as she emerged onto the beach and walked towards her kindred. “You actually think this is going to amount to anything Khenan? What if this doesn't pan out to anything? We have little money to get by on.”

“We’ll figure something out Larimar,” spoke Khenan, the wolf shifting as he turned into a man with dark skin and dreadlocks. The man raised a hand to his head and ran his fingers over his hair, a sigh escaping him. “If needed, we’ll stay in Hawaii and perhaps try out hands at another pack,” said Khenan. “Let’s cross that bridge when we come to it.”

Icarus

​

After fleeing from the home of Ordan, Icarus had eaten the meat he had stolen over a small campfire, then found a homeless vagrant and a couple of drunken teens to feed off of and add to his meal for the days to come, hiding within the old fort on the outskirts of Ithawell. The hybrid was currently hunkered down with one of the drunken teens and feeding from it currently as the sun rose, the vaewolf treasuring the sun’s warmth dawn pallet across the lightening sky.

Ordan
Kitchen Custos Villa
​

He seemed to be the only one awake, the alpha adjusting his sunglasses as he searched the cabinets and fridge. “Mmmm...looks like a potential grocery trip to get more than necessities,” he murmured to himself. Finding some fruit, eggs and bacon, he pulled them out when he heard paw steps coming towards the kitchen. The alpha shook his head as he turned and saw Eden standing there with fruit in her mouth, the female then turning and heading towards the door. He shrugged and searched for a couple skillets as he made himself a fresh glass of grape juice and poured it into a glass from the blender, not adding anything as the grapes were sweet enough. Cracking open four eggs, he whisked them together with a fork and then put in an entire package of bacon into another skillet as he set about breakfast for himself. “Sleep well? Considering you smell of seawater and sand.”

The female stopped immediately, hearing his voice, knowing it was directed to her. She mentally kicked herself and shifted, her body covered with a two piece swimming suit and a pair of swimming shorts. Her dark hair was tangled a bit and her tan body was speckled with white specks of sand. Jade gaze meeting his moving form, she allowed a small smile to light her lips. "Ah, yeah. Went out for a night swim with..the girls and must've drank or something; can't remember much." Eden admitted, taking a bite into the apple. Her eyes flickered out towards the beach and a sigh left her lips; she could see Silvia out on the sand, her silver pelt shining brightly in the light. "Maybe you want to swim later? I heard Jae wanted to learn how to surf, so I think a day of swimming would be good for everyone; we could have a bonfire later on too! It'd be so fun!"

Staying within the shading of the trees, Adesina watched Silvia, her silver eyes slowly moving across her small wolf form; her pelt color was absolutely beautiful in contrast to the sand. Usually, the vampire didn't take a liking to most people in that way but there was just something different about Sil, especially after what she heard last night. The Alpha's cheeks began to darken a bit with an ashen red as last night replayed in her head; the two wolves had drank and some thoughts, feelings, and dares were given. This caused Silvia to shift and flee from Sina, which was a bit confusing for the female vampire, but she let the two wolves play while relaxing by the water.

With a sigh, Adesina put her large beach hat on and made her way over to Sil, kneeling beside her and running a hand through her fur. "How're you feeling, love? Last night was..well, quite the night." She murmured, her silver orbs holding concern and warmth.

Davina settled back down as soon as she felt Harper's soothing touch along her crown and fingers in her hair; the talking didn't bother her, seeming as she pretty much passed out again. Damion only smiled in amusement and got up silently, making his way around to Harper's side and sitting next to her. His gaze fell on the young pup, his own yearning for a family stirring deep within his chest. Carefully placing a hand on Harper's cheek, he snorted quietly and shook his head.

"I always keep my promises, Harp. I wasn't going to leave, knowing you would possibly need help with..with the child." He paused for a moment, his eyes flickering up towards the female, his expression softening just slightly; they both looked like a family, which somehow excited him and filled him with a foreign sensation. It was warm and fuzzy and..messed with his dark side, the inner darkness trying to thrash at such feelings and sensations but it didn't seem to thwart it away.

Silvia A. Brandt
Location: Beach
Interaction: Adesina Eliruz

Nose twitching, the beast lifted a paw hesitantly over her maw, she hadn’t really recollected what actually went down—just a few things here and there. Snorting and blowing out sand from her nostrils, Silvia coughed slightly with her chest expanding and then falling short again when she got a rather enhanced scent lingering towards her. She hadn’t been able to describe it—no describing it was difficult but recognizing it was fairly easy. Adesina. The smell has her soggy tail flapping with excitement—not entirely just her’s either. Another part of her was fairly eager for the approach, the steps in the sand had her crane her neck upwards and build up the sand clumping around her neck fur. When she saw her, Silvia’s brown optics darkened as a wolffish grin slipped onto her jowls. She had no idea what she was doing, part of her thought she was happy Adesina was coming over because she would help her get back to normal however another part said ‘Ha! Nope! Try again!’ also tauntingly as the other managed to run her hands through her fur.

As her maw opened to speak, incoherent mutterings and yips came out in reply to Adesina’s questions, her statement being a much bigger reason she was drawn to lean herself towards the touch. Relaxing into the touch of a hand running through her fur, Silvia had remained quite calm having been through all of the surprises. She was going to try something new though, she hadn’t ever spoken in her head like everyone else did—Jaehwa did it once. Asking her for help so as she settled her brown hues onto Adesina she attempted to form words and see if they would breach before giving up and just rolling her head towards the vampire. Using her head, Silvia flopped her muzzle and head onto her lap, having not exactly been sitting down Silvia wasn’t sure if she’d sit after that but it was comforting nonetheless.

Interaction: Damion / Davina Eliruz

Harper has found herself gazing down at Davina, Damion’s sudden closeness not dawning on her until he spoke after touching her cheek. The motion was startling and had her stiffen before briefly leaning into it. It felt good—and for once wasn’t it nice to ‘feel good’ without eating? It felt like it had when she was alive—don’t mistake that for not wanting to be what she was, she accepted it and embraced her monstrous side, though she did miss those feelings and yearnings as a human before becoming a different species entirely. “You are quite stubborn,” she remarked agreeably, flashing her eyes towards the blonde haired male for a moment, she did agree that he kept his promises. “Think I couldn’t handle the child? My, what a worry wort,” she chided teasingly, finally turning to look towards the male vampire. Damion had the startling blue eyes, the ones that always told her he knew.

He knew she missed it, even as they worked together all the jokes and flirty remarks she stated teasingly never got him to brush her off as anything different. And in the morning was the time she ended up a rather dampened, not as sharp nor able to hide her yearnings for family. As she brought her hand up from her lap hesitantly she let it fall back down before she turned her eyes away, she didn’t turn her face, not enough to hide the rosy textures swarming the ashen tones. “How long have we been out of it?” she mused, she recovered still trying to bury down the morning grogginess she got when she felt like unloading her emotions. Nah, this was Harper! She didn’t have those—right? Right! Wait, right?

Ezra H. Hastings
Location: N/A (around Custos area)
Interaction: @ Open

Large paws pressed into the ground, bulky exterior—a brown coated wolf lingering about openly showing his curiosity while his scarred pelt had somehow puffed out at the scent he picked up. Tans, blacks, browns, a multitude of colors adorned his thick coat, the heat making his tongue loll out to the side of his jaws. Snapping his jaws closed, his nose twitched, it wasn’t man but beast controlling such actions, and behind inside that thick skull was an argument raging war inside it as narrow ears flipped back flat while his dark optics flared at the horizon of the sun filtering upwards. Ezra—no the beast that declared himself Elias, strode forwardly boldly. He was curious, impulsive, and bold, a few traits were aggressively stronger within Elias. Ezra was bold but he was not impulsive—no calculated and stubborn was his way, not unless something were to occur that could cause a drastic change in himself.

Wandering around like a fool, Ezra roared and thundered at a flippant Elias. “Why are we here? You said you wanted to go on a walk not hunt something down! I refuse to eat a person—I won’t be able to live with myself if you start getting into my head again, Elias, cut it out and let me come back! You peed on a fire hydrant on the way—good boy, really bravo, now let me out!” Ezra roared inside his head, the brown and broad shouldered wolf hugged in exasperation at the dramatics Ezra was pulling out.

“Oh for the love of—you had amnesia! Relax, if I don’t find anything then we will be fine. I thought I was the aggressive one around here, looks like the tables have turned, how wonderful!” Elias grumbled, their chest rumbling and fluffing out as Elias chuckled to himself. Well, Elias and Ezra. He had been stuck with the mutt ever since he found out...it’d be a couple years maybe? “Besides, you don’t know you were human before me! Hell, you could have been born with me and I didn’t want to deal with your whiny—“

“I remember some stuff!” Ezra defended, before earning a chortle from Elias, “Ok—I remember my mother...I remember her face and then—“ getting a quick growl in response, Ezra quieted as Elias perked his ears. A smell drifted from up ahead, the very smell they had picked up when booking their ticket out of Hawaii, Ezra made a split second decision and it was to leave before being rudely interrupted by Elias requesting a bit of freedom—big mistake. Something smelt familiar, not just the thing Elias was picking up on, something else, something far more familiar that struck a chord in the adult male before he let Elias push them forward, giving up control briefly to get them closer.​

The remainder of the session she was speaking to him he was silent. Giving a light nod he turns his back to basilia and strides off. There was nothing flawed on his suit. No scratches, dents, not even dirt except the bottom of his boot as he walks to the empty room located nearby and occupied it for just sleeping, nothing else. The M2 was flawless in his abilities and skill on that mission as he had no real problems stoping him. He simply had a task and he achieved it. He fell asleep sitting on a chair as a visor went over his eyes and tinted black as he fell asleep. His senses otherwise active unconsciously

​

The female continued to run her fingers through Silvia's pelt, her brow furrowing as the wolf began muttering and yipping a response back, explaining how she was doing; luckily, Adesina caught on quickly and was able to understand some of the gibberish that came out of Sil's jowls. Adesina just laughed and relaxed, allowing her head to rest in her lap. "Well, that's good; after last night, I thought you might've been too drunk and may of had a hangover when you awoke." The Alpha mused softly, soothingly humming before hearing loud thuds coming from the forest, her hearing picking up wolf noises. Her eyes flashed and she eased Silvia up and snarled softly. "There's a rogue on our territory. Stay here, Sil." Adesina got herself to her feet and sped off into the forest, her eyes darting around for the noise.

Her ears captured the nearing sounds and she quickly blurred to a stop in front of a large wolf and let out a growl. "What are you doing on our territory, rogue? You take another step, it will be your last." The Alpha snapped, her silver eyes filled with caution and protectiveness.

Damion snorted softly; he wasn't one to admit concern, but in this case, he simply teased her. "Yes, who knew what would happen if a pup was left in such hands." He chuckled and allowed his thumb to gently caress her cheek, a sigh leaving his lips. Studying her form, her reddening ashen cheeks, her beautiful features, and gentle touch towards the pup, he felt his heart nearly skip a beat. Even though they were just simply friends and partners who shared the Beta title, he didn't know exactly what all of these feelings that welled up inside him; he didn't know what to even consider them.

"You were out for about 11 hours; she must've been exhausted from running away so much.."

Ordan turned to the wolf as she began shifting into a human, the alpha staring at her form that was covered in sand and then turned back to the stove as he turned his bacon over and scrambled the eggs together in their own skillet. Feeling the female’s eyes on him as he cooked his breakfast, the alpha shook his head as he listened to her speak of going out with the other girls. “You seem to have enjoyed yourself,” Ordan said. “But it’s good you get time for yourself and can do whatever it is females do when not planning weddings and shoving their grooms to be out of the bridal boutique,” he said, his voice showing amusement. Behind his shades, the light in his left eye dimmed as he spoke.

Ordan sighed as Eden went on to speak of overhearing Jaehwa speaking of the pack taking up surfing together. She then mentioned potentially swimming and then a bonfire later. “Are you offering a swim with me Eden?” Ordan questioned in amusement. He ignored Achilles perking up at that idea and the happy rumbling of the nuisance monster in his head. “Hydrotherapy is something I haven’t needed in years but is good help for soldiers coming out of war that need it,” said Ordan. “Silvia suggested floating might help with my eye. I suppose the pool might be useful at first before trying the ocean and there might be a lot of driftwood in the sea.”

Silvia A. Brandt / Ezra H. Hastings
Location: Custos Beach
Interaction: Adesina Eliruz

Silvia shot up, her chest lurching at the tone that echoed into her audits, each swiveling around as a low growl left her chops as Adesina wishes to depart from her because of an interruption. She had been enjoying the touch and warmth the vampire brought, and having it end because of some other wolf had her irritated. Well, most of the displeasure was coming from something else far more aggressive than Silvia, a feeling when she had been spurred on to punch a wall her first day within Custos—a voice nit picking and whining, growls coming unbeknownst to Silvia as she darted after Adesina. She wasn’t as fast, actually she was a bit clumsy but quiet enough she was sure Adesina would be distracted with the loner or other wolf crossing their land. She has been screamed at to follow, and she did with slabs flying up behind her.

Ezra, on the other paw, looked up—maybe it was Elias, yes it was the wolfish side of him that stood rigidly. Dark tendrils of fur were out in tufts as he stood before the vampire alpha in a rather stoic manner. Lifting his cranium up, he defiantly growled, fangs baring while Elias snapped at Ezra who argued they should listen to the woman. She didn’t smell right. Changing his stance, the brute lowered his head and neck, hind legs spreading apart while his tail hung tail swaying with the breeze. Ezra was large in bulk because of fur and his past human exercising had him quite the bulky beast. Nowadays it was all fluff that made him dramatically bigger. Flattening his ears, Ezra hadn’t been accustomed to packs or how they worked, though he wasn’t a fan of being bossed around or threatened.

“Don’t be reckless, last time—“

“Last time we won!” barked Elias before the male could finish, though as he snapped his jaws threateningly, something came by surprisingly in a quick blur. It was sudden, impact harsh and nearly catastrophic as Ezra slammed into the earth. It had allowed Ezra to rip control from Elias but it seemed the same was said for the attacker. Silvia. Something else was there, dark brown eyes staring at each other in a fierce glare as Elias put himself forward again. Movements jagged and rushed, the pair exchanged a few bites before Ezra bucked the smaller wolf off of himself. Silvia wasn’t there, another wolf was. And as they circled each other, Ezra fought with Elias to stop, and the same could be said for the quite frustrated Silvia and her being Isabella. Then they clashed, rolling over the other until Ezra pinned the smaller wolf down, fangs and jaws chomping down on her neck fur, silvery white tufts being pulled from her neck. There was no communication on her end of things, just one thing—action.

In the end, Ezra was bleeding, scratches along with a few bite marks slashed over his shoulder due from Silvia’s more than aggressive notions. Silvia was left with her back on the ground, muzzle decorated in splashes from his shoulder before his paws dug into her chest. It didn’t end like that however, Ezra has kicked Elias out of the lime light, and stepped off of Silvia’s rather weary form as she recollected herself. Leaving one paw pressed firmly on the wolf on the ground huffing in air with her nostrils flared. “Shouldn’t have pulled back, maybe let me handle it completely,” a voice chided Silvia before she snapped her jaws at Ezra’s paw.

Harper glanced sideways over at Damion has he deemed it would be such a horrible thing to be left in her care, that had her roll her eyes playfully in a way before staring back at the vampire with an arched brow. “Thanks, I appreciate your honesty,” she joked, though her temporary breath hitched in her chest when he moved his thumb. Truthfully she had nearly forgot it was there, and when he moved she had to clear her throat as she lifted her own hang up to his on her cheek. Brushing her fingers over his hand she pulled away to check the child over—an even better way of hiding the reddened cheeks that were becoming visible on her ashen complexion.

“It is tiring, we should, we uh, let her sleep,” she murmured, making a move to lean forward before giving up, “She hasn’t woken up yet, you’d think someone like her would be bursting with energy if they slept for 11 hours straight,” she concluded, leaning back against her headboard. Closing her gray eyes briefly, she let out a sigh. No feelings, none, not for him! She could feel things, sure, but she couldn’t get blushed or nervous around her partner! He was the other beta for christ’s sake, she worked with him and had to actually take their job seriously. Liking people or getting feelings for people you work with is always a big no no. Especially for Harper, it was too rocky of a road, no matter how much she enjoyed it. “So you really did sit there all night?” she mused, darn she gave in, well who couldn’t with his blue eyes? He was rather compelling to talk to, even when he was brooding over work or when his eyes softened. Darn it.​

Interactions: Ordan ( scorpiodragon ), Silvia ( Shaded )​

At the mention of weddings, Eden's stomach churned horribly and she quickly looked out the back door, her breath coming out uneven. Ever since she mentioned Ezra, her ex husband to Ordan, the thought of him kept coming to mind. She quickly shook herself out of her thoughts and plastered on a smile, the light leaving her jade eyes slowly. "Ah, I may be. Swimming would be fun, and it's good exercise for you." Continuing to avoid eye contact, she pressed her hip against the door way of the back door, her face somewhat hidden behind her ebony locks as she went silent. She just listened to what he had to say, her head nodding slowly but she just stared outside, her eyes on the waves.

"Besides, to get to know eachother, we have to hang out more, right?" She murmured, her tone quiet and hesitant; she felt oddly nervous at this point and for what reason she was uncertain. She froze, her eyes wide; Silvia was rushing off into the forest, she looked pissed. "I ugh-..gotta go!" Eden sputtered before shifting quickly and darting after Silvia, into the woods, her muscles moving swiftly. As soon as she heard what was going on, a snarl ripped from her jowls and she ran full force at the male wolf who slowly backed away from Silvia, who Adesina moved to in a blur.

Tackling the large male, Eden rolled with him until finally she had the large male pinned, a vicious snarl ripping from her maw as she held him down with a sharp-clawed paw against his neck hard enough to keep him in place. Her jade eyes glimmered with rage; how dare he injure her packmate! She should rip his throat out here and now, but Adesina saw the control in him shift; she wasn't happy either, but she needed to get down to the bottom of this. Soothingly coming her hand through SIlvia's fur, she glared at the male who was pinned beneath the lean huntress.

"Shift, rogue, before I have my hunter rip your damn throat out and leave you for the birds!"

The vampire snarled, her silver eyes ablaze. Eden growled and quickly shifted, her swimming suit remaining in tact. Keeping the wolf held down, she glared at him. "Shift like the Alpha said!"

Ezra H. Hastings

Interaction: Adesina / Eden Eliruz

Puffing our his chest as he moved off of the werewolf, Ezra had to contain Elias who wanted to clamp the wolf’s jaws shut after snapping at his foot. However Ezra didn’t need to keep Elias in check as another force slammed into him, he seemed to be the perfect target to ram into as of late. Having the sudden weight that was a bit heavier than the silver wolf, he growled out before getting his head slammed back down with a set of claws digging into his throat. With Elias throwing a tantrum at being pinned, Ezra felt the stinging in his joints, it stung to pull his jowls back to bare his fangs or even open his jaws. Ezra was a little frustrated he hadn’t been able to handle it properly, though with two wolves that meant there was usually more. Huffing and chuffing, he lay there for a moment trying to convince Elias to get out and help when he needed him—that wasn’t happening any time soon.

Taking an intake of air, his ears flung forward and eyes trailed over the wolf that pinned him, it was the scent. The scent Elias picked up and kept raving about that drove Ezra mad, and even so he just stared, not really hearing what the vampire stated until the wolf shifted. Having the ability to examine the wolf—woman, Ezra flicked his brown optics over the black tendrils of hair. He had seen her before, no clue where, but somewhere. Truthfully, the moment they caught her scent Elias was rather compliant. Ezra getting up to his large paws, the brown toned male stared down at the woman dressed in a bikini, Elias grumbling about staring until they began their own transition.

Brown eyes to green, it was quick the sound of his bones snapping. Before long he stood up tall, green eyes flicking over the woman casually as he ignored the vampire for a moment. “You,” he spoke gruffly, voice raspy after having a wolf stepping on it. “Do I know you?” he inquired, his locks of hair dirty blonde hair spiking up with his amount of stubble laying exposed along his jaw. “He won’t stop, he says you are familiar—but I don’t remember,” he grumbled under his breath. Ezra agreed, the woman was quite familiar and stunning for that matter, however it was the fact that Elias spoke of her like he knew her—it was impossible. “Nothing is impossible, you have amnesia—we know her. We have to.”

Silvia A. Brandt
Location: Custos Beach
Interaction: Same as above

Having been saved had Silvia huff, embarrassment flooding her senses so much so the voice from before was gone. She couldn’t even hold her own against the male—some use she would have been had Adesina actually needed her help. She had a beast yet she couldn’t use it—“I’m not an it! Get it together, we are what we are,” the eye roll could be heard in the way the voice echoed tiredly before dissipating. Silvia was still out of it, and when Adesina approached she had laid down on the ground because she knew the pair would handle the wolf on their own without her. Silvia was the healer—one who couldn’t even keep an immortal alive, for that matter.

Feeling her touch was calming, Silvia was quick to relax her joints and brought her maw up to nudge Adesina’s hand apologetically. She brushed her head that way a few times before pulling away, she should probably handle the wolf with Eden, and so she rose up to her paws. Her sand caked fur was now a mess as she calmed down, her body transitioned but she didn’t feel anything, not like when she turned into a wolf. And then, she was back in her newly bought swimsuit, arms quickly wrapping around her exposed toros shyly as she stepped behind Adesina. Silvia’s hair was a disaster, sand embodies itself in it and strands were a mess everywhere. “I’m sorry,” she murmured softly.​

​

Eden allowed the male to get up and shift, her eyes narrowing as the large wolf soon transformed into a tall man with familiar green eyes, those beautiful..green..eyes. The female stood there, her eyes wide and her mouth dropping; he..it couldn't be! No, he was supposed to be with that blonde bimbo! Stepping forward with a fury that had been suppressed for so long, she began to raise her voice. "You honestly want me to believe you don't remember 3 years of marriage? Then you expect me to forget how you left me for that blonde bimbo?!" Tears began filling her eyes as she recognized utter confusion in his features, her feelings beginning to spiral out of control. Maybe he really didn't remember? No, that couldn't be! But why would he be here, in front of her? As her cheeks began to dampen with trickling tears, she sniffled quietly. "I can't believe this.." Reaching down, she began fiddling with her rings, her body beginning to tremble; this was going to complicate so many things. "I was your wife? Ya'know, we met in high school? We dated for years and got married? You don't remember anything do you?.."

She quickly turned away, looking at Silvia and Adesina. "I-I can't do this right now.." Eden whispered before moving down the path, nearing the door, sobs soon racking her small frame. Why did it have to be him? Why couldn't it of been an old Co-worker or boss or friend? No, it had to be him! Quickly making her way back inside where she'd left Ordan so suddenly, she stumbled inside, tears streaming down her cheeks and sobs leaving her lips. The female quickly moved past Ordan and grabbed some napkins, her breathing out of control. She began wiping her tears but they didn't seem to stop, as she grasped the counter heavily.

"H-H-He..E-Ez-r-ra..h-h-he..I-I c-can't.." She choked out, her legs beginning to give out; this was completely too much for her.
