Interaction: Eden Eliruz

He noticed her sudden quick movements as they equally rushed out the door, but even as they stepped outside he took a moment to relax and hopefully persuade Elias to ease up on his demands. Sometimes it felt as if Elias was the one in charge, Ezra however often forgot that he was the original being inside and Elias was the foreign invader—that was what he gathered from the memories of Eden they shared. He wasn’t always with Elias, in fact he didn’t think Elias was even anywhere present currently aside from the chattering going on in his head currently.

Bringing his gaze to follow Eden’s leap, his hesitancy might have shown if he hadn’t been observing her shimmering pelt. The dark and light hues of her fur catching the light of the sun just enough to distract him from keeping hold of Elias—a finger had been metaphorically lifted as Elias edged their transformation forward, making better body movements as he transitioned smoothly into his husky self. Brown strands of fur elongated and fangs poked through until his thick pelt bristled. Dark browns, tans, and blacks made up his shaggy pelt—covering his muscled form yet leaving gaps around his torso from older wounds in his human body rather than his wolffish one. Ezra hasn’t to grapple though with Elias, ending up pawing at his snout and eyes until his shimmering brown gaze transitioned in a green gaze caught between brown and lush emerald. Either way he regained a playful spirit and ended up bounding over towards Eden as she landed in the sand. Ezra ended up stopping beside her, his snout pressing into her side until he brushed past her. He was a little feral compared to the Custos pack, he shifted quite a bit though he disliked the lack of privacy and control with Elias.​

Hanah smiled and shook her head. "No need Mistress, i can eat leftovers from yesterday." There was pizza in fridge, as Hanah's stomach hasn't growth enough to eat whole thing one go, or even half.​

Basilia observed how this teen did not speak but remained silent. “No, not really,” said Basilia. “Most people that are mute that I have come across are those I rendered as such. Though I would guess it is some form of trauma.” The woman became silent, reading each text message as it was shown to her. “So now we are getting interesting,” she said as she read this girl’s family was killed by werewolves. “Once you join m, there is no turning back. Betraying or using our resources for your own personal gain will result in death as well working with supernaturals, harboring them or falling in love with them. They are monsters and our cause is to protect man from these beasts who shouldn’t exist. You should realize these beasts...well they have no souls and no humanity or feelings like we do...especially these packs of Lichen and Boreal who hunt our kind for blood and meat without warning or kindness. Men, women, children, the old and helpless...even pets.”

Clover struggled to breathe as she stared into Ordan’s eye...both eyes which were now opened and staring silver daggers at the woman as her hands went to Ordan’s hand around her throat. The alpha lifted his ex from the floor before Jaehwa's voice pierced his ears. His children starred in silence and disbelief as their father began choking their mother. Both turned their gaze towards Adesina who spoke of the people there being friends of their father and then the man who their father had said was his boyfriend trying to apologize to Saul. “She never showed much interest in me when I found her through a lot of hard work,” said Saul.

“Is father a danger to us?” This question came from Sienna who looked between Jaehwa and Adesina. “Mother’s the one who cares about the child support, I just wanted a father. All I knew about him was he was in the military and valedictorian.”

Eden whipped around to find Ezra gazing at her before making his own transformation, many shades of brown, tan, and darker colors all over his pelt. Ellie yipped internally and their tail began to wag. A whine released from her maw once his nose pressed into fur, her muscles relaxing slightly before she slipped off into the forest, barking in a challenge.

"Race ya'!" A mix of Eden and Ellie sounded through the mind-link before she disappeared off into the expanse of canopied network of trees above them. Her muscles moved tautly underneath her heavy pelt, her lean body zooming through the dense forest.

The female stepped forward and quickly looked at Jae, her eyes sharpening with seriousness. "You spoke your mind, it is not a crime." Turning her gaze towards the angry, silver-eyed Alpha, she pried his hands away from Clover's throat, pushing him back gently away from the woman who was now coughing on the floor. Her silver eyes flickered down to the girl and a friendly yet stern smile lit her lips. "Your father is just upset; he would've loved to be there for you, but your mother never told him. She just got around to it, so you're father is a bit upset." Grabbing Clover by the arm, she pulled her up and stood her up. "She merely wants money from your father, and then she'd probably try to get him in jail. Your mother is nothing more than a manipulating woman who thirsts for money." Once the woman was able to walk on her own, Adesina simply pushed her away and knelt down to Sienna. "I think you two should spend some time here, with your father; it would do you some good.

Evangeline furrowed her brow slightly and smiled, insisting she eat. "Ah, but you're very scrawny and I doubt you've been eating enough to maintain a consistent strength. Please, atleast something small before you continue cleaning, seeing how you've been working most of the morning." The vampire tried to convince the human, not reverting to her powers, seeing how she found it better that humans made their own decisions.

Esme finished speaking and tilted her head slightly, biting into her sandwich; she'd forgotten to even bring hers, so she was very grateful for this new acquaintance and his offer. Swallowing what remained in her mouth, she licked her lips and leaned back. "So, you're like a shadow? No name?" The female teased before extending a hand to introduce herself. "I'm Esme, it's nice to meet you; and you know, if you need help with making money, I can help. Selling drugs isn't the best business," the she-wolf offered, a warm smile on her lips.

He looked up at her from his sandwich. When she offered her hand to him, he took it, but he worried his hands might seem clammy. "Gail." He lied instinctively. He panicked for a moment as he thought he might sound like an idiot if he pulled back now. Then he wondered if it was safe to give her his true name. He tried not to think about it too much and he mentally told himself he'd deal with the situation another time if it ever came up again. He realized he had been staring at her as she made her offer.

"O-oh! Thanks, but that's not really necessary." He pulled his hand away. "There's actually a huge benefit to doing what I do. I'm constantly informed of what's happening around the streets." He scratched the back of his head. "I have a pretty good idea of what's happening in the major packs."

​

It was perhaps a lucky thing for Clover that Adesina stepped in and pried his hand from her throat, the wolf's eyes still silver as he stared down at Clover, the alpha's body shaking with rage as she threatened him with prison time. Adesina grabbed his hand and pried it from her throat and then pushed him back away from her before helping Clover to her feet, the woman coughing in an attempt to get air into lungs. The alpha glared at Clover and then at Adesina as she moved him from his ex-fiancee. Meanwhile, his children glanced at each other again, something Ordan didn't notice as Adesina turned to his daughter and spoke to her, the young woman meeting Adesina's gentle gaze as she spoke about their father being upset and confirming that Ordan would have been happy to have his children with him before speaking badly of their mother but the way Clover was acting and the way she was ignoring Saul, had the late-20s woman thinking. Both were surprised though when Adesina suggested they stay at the villa for a while and get to know their father. The children were unsure of this offer, looking between their father and mother who was now on her feet and was then pushed away.

It was Sienna who finally spoke up, Saul not at all comfortable as he kept looking between his parents but his eyes mostly lingered on his father who had not taken his eyes off his mother before the man headed out the front door, Saul turning to watch his father with uncertainty written on his face. Hearing that her mother only wanted their father for money and how she might try to put their father in jail afterwards for not paying child support, caused the girl to frown. "Mother was always saying how it was difficult raising me and the baby's father never really treated me well," said Sienna. "She said she kept me because I looked nothing like my father but that didn't help the baby's father from ever liking me or treating me as his own child. And she didn't really speak of my brother either until I was a teenager and was proud of giving him up."

Ezra H. Hastings
Location: Custos Villa
Interaction: Eden Eliruz

It was as if everything had been renewed and refreshed in his mind, Ezra wasn’t caught up in the whole ordeal and drama from previous endeavors. The brown and tan toned wolf had a rather hulking form so when Eden quickly ran off he only had large steps in his favor as he took off after her. Ezra and Elias agreed on one thing, it felt relatively good to give into their child like behavior in that situation. Ezra ran, sand and dirt mixed together as they flung up behind him—well more so Elias considering he was the wolffish half of Ezra. While chasing after Eden, the male picked up on her voice echoing in his head. It wasn’t unusual as it had been explained that telepathy was the best form of communication for the pack—more so the wolves so that they could shift freely, though Custos seemed different, as if they had a distaste for shifting and what they were...Ezra could understand that. But he would be overly upset if he couldn’t get rid of Elias.

“Gotcha!” he rumbled, his chest quaking with the rumble bursting through his wolf like vocal cords. Ezra had indeed caught up a bit and ended up lunging after the leaner female, though only after he had caught up to her had he realized—well Elias realized, they weren’t exactly playing tag. “Sorry,” he commented gruffly, ears flinging back shyly at the fact they were supposed to race towards this place not tackle each other. The tannish brown and black wolf cocked his head to the side, curious gaze flickering over the other canine as he silently inquired where to next. He wasn’t sure if the tackle was taken lightly or not or if he had actually managed to barrel into her, but he didn’t enjoy being close with Eden.​

Eden continued to run, her body moving skillfully; her slender frame allowed her to move quickly compared to the large brute. Paw steps pounded against the soft terrain, sand soon turning into a grassy one, the she-wolf's claws flinging clumps of grass and soil back towards Ezra. She felt so..free and ecstatic to finally be with her lover that had so horribly left her, but knew he was a changed man yet there was still that off chance that he did the same thing. In a moment of weak thoughts and distractions, the tawny female found herself being tackled and hearing the deep voice of the male. A loud yelp left her lips as she crashed into the ground, her limbs knocked into a four-legged mess and her fur ruffled. Her ears flattened and her lids closed slowly, her eyes practically rolling around in her head. Dizzily getting to her peds, she shook herself and huffed softly.

"Know your strength, darling. You're very strong," Eden replied back and nuzzled underneath his powerful jaw before trotting onward, her tail swishing happily.

Adesina listened, her eyes narrowing towards Clover as the younger teen spoke. Her lips pressed together into a thin line and she heard footsteps behind her. Carefully turning, she found Ordan heading towards the front door. Putting a strained smile on her lips, she held her hand up and turned to the group. "Well, your mother was in the wrong. Of course it's difficult to raise a child; no one said it was easy, but Clover was lying." Turning to Clover, her eyes flashed with a warning though her expression held kindness. "She should've kept your brother, been truthful no matter what the cost, and not try to use you two as a way to get money. Besides, she had apparently lied to you as well, darling. Your father, from what it looks like, just found out about you both."

While they rolled and tumbled for only a moment or so, Eden had regained her regal beauty and seemed to pull a move stopped as she nuzzled his jaw, said jaw nearly falling open with his tongue lolling out of the side of it. The dark and light contrasting canine wagged his tail as her words echoed around in his skull, he wasn’t sure if it was Elias finally wearing him down or if the pair were just equally excited to be running around with Eden for a change. The wolf seemed to indeed bulk up compared to the lean form Eden took up, powerful but probably not able to handle a tackle from anything from behind when relaxed—sometimes Ezra wasn’t even prepared for a tackle when he sees it head on.

Wagging his tail he quickly went after Eden, a few tips coming from his chest to make it rumble as the grass got dug up around the pair where their paws thudded into the ground. The werewolf male wasn’t very light footed—in fact he was hardly anything but a bunch of led just jumping around. His form matched that of his human one, take a few hits before delivering them and the wolf form mirrored that presentation similar only in wolf or dog terms he was the one to help end the hunt not initiate it. Truthfully he had no knowledge aside from what Elias told him, which made him ramble every now and again. “Want to tell me where we are going? I’m sure we could get there quicker—“ he attempted to joke, hues twinkling and glimmering as he ran after the much faster Eden.​

Both wolf and man were angry that they had been lied to, though Achilles was more angry for Ordan as it affected his human side more than the wolf. The alpha headed away from the front door of the villa, heading towards the gardens. The alpha rumbled to himself as he walked, paying no mind to his ex, his pack or his children he had discovered out of the blue. Damn that Clover!

"Can we eat her?"

"No," Ordan growled in return. Ordan settled into pacing the gardens, mulling over the fact that Clover was still after him for whatever messed up reason and that his son apparently was a werewolf. Meanwhile, Sienna and Saul remained in the kitchen, watching what was going on between their parents, Saul finally turning his head back to Adesina as she spoke to them about how their mother should have kept Saul and told them the truth.

"She should have. I always felt weird about my stepfather but mother didn't listen...and she didn't encourage a relationship with my brother when I found out about him...when she finally told me. It was a shock to me and probably a shock to Saul. He had to pay his own way here...mother wouldn't cover it but we don't want to intrude."

Location: Ithawell Community Center | Interacting: Basilia & Akachi ( scorpiodragon )​

Listening with her head lowered, Liu nodded along, her lips pursed. This person was stating the obvious, but that was for the best. This was, after all, what Liu needed to hear. She needed to know that these people were going to help her, whether they realized it or not. Because, despite this warning, she was going to use their resources for herself. She had to help her brother break free from the curse forced upon him, no matter what the consequences, no matter what became of herself. It would all be worth it once she saw him again. Once she showed him the progress she'd made. Once he took the cure and could finally live his life the way he should've been able to all this time.

Liu didn't hesitate--she didn't let that be shown on her face, either--but once she typed out her response, it took her a moment to actually hold it up for the others to see. "I understand," her message read, and that was all she wrote.

Jaehwa
Location: Custos Villa | Interacting: Ordan ( scorpiodragon ) | Mentions: Xiulan & Adesina ( Eliruz )
​

It took Jaehwa a moment to process that Ordan had left. He suddenly felt worse, no only for his overreaction, but for not really being able to understand what Ordan was going through. This was something he couldn't relate to, and it was saddening that his empathy was doing him no good. He could understand the other male's frustration, of course, and anger, but there was something so primal about Ordan's behavior that put him on edge. Made him feel... off. It was as if he'd given in to his inner wolf for a moment there, which Jeahwa, too, was struggling with.

Clutching Xiulan close to his chest, Jaehwa looked one last time to Adesina and the others before taking in a deep breath. "I'll go check on him," he said softly, turning to trail outside and into the gardens. He hoped that Adesina could handle things better than he could. She seemed to know how to defuse a bomb under all this pressure. Jaehwa would just crack, and easily at that.

When he found Ordan, he approached him slowly, eyes scanning the other male's face, concern plain on his features. "Are you alright?" Realizing that no, Ordan wasn't alright, and thus that was a stupid question, he shook his head. "Nevermind. Just... Will you be okay, out here by yourself?"

Ordan
​

Two Months Ago: "No, I'm not alright," said Ordan. "I can't believe the nerve of Clover, trying to pass another child off on me and threatening child support on this child and jail time. Achilles says the boy smells like wolf so I have something else to worry about as well...what to do about him. To accept him into my pack or maybe he likes what he is and wants to join Boreal." Ordan rubbed at his injured eye as he walked off further into the gardens, not knowing his sight wouldn't be getting any better and would be gone completely.

Present: Two months had passed and the packs would be arriving within their home territories. During that time, elections had been held within Ithawell and the Blood Order supporter put in place as mayor. The alpha's injured eye was completely dead and milky-white in coloration now. Planes and private jets, in the case of Lichen, would be arriving soon. Xiulan had grown some under Jaehwa's care, the alpha's children with their father on the flight back, as they wanted to get to know him. The alpha was currently sleeping within the plane but as it touched down, the alpha opened his good eye to see the city before them. Adelina and Eden had disappeared sometime during their vacation, Ordan wasn't entirely sure where they had gone or if they would be returning. For all he knew, Adelina had taken Eden to investigate something important. She hadn't said anything to him anyway.

Over the two months since Ordan had learned from Jaehwa that the omega liked him, the alpha had kept his promise of Jaehwa being allowed to stay within his room if he felt unsafe for some reason or other, occasionally helping with his goddaughter as well if Jaehwa needed a break from parenting. In between the alpha spoke to his children, taking some time to warm up to them and they to him. It was understandable, the alpha had been unaware of his children until two months ago. Slowly, the alpha sat up as the plane landed on the ground below, opening his other eye which stared unseeingly at the world. "Are we home?" he questioned nobody in particular.

Basilia
​

Ken had disappeared again from her side and the leader of the Blood Order was becoming annoyed with the matter. Yet things were not all bad, she had eliminated much that was part of her old life with those who were not loyal to the cause and had heard rumors of a threat...that...acolyte who had been turned into a creature and gone rogue. Well, as long as he didn't bother her or the child she was raising, she would do well. As it was, Akachi was stepping in a lot as Deputy for her, though he still held his rank of Shadow. The elections had gone off without a hitch but she had her people standing by and watching for the packs to come back. Meanwhile, they had laid a few traps within each of the territories, along game trails mainly for when they hunted. For once, the citizens of Ithawell felt safe despite the monsters that roamed the darkness. Basilia had gotten the pizza place up and running again, fixing those strange animatronic creatures and installing a snack vending machine, redoing the ball pit and installed a little arcade with one of those stuffed animal grabber contraptions within. She had put Akachi in charge of it since she couldn't trust anyone else, it seemed, to do so for her.

Icarus
​

Icarus had been alone for some time. After succeeding in escaping from the dungeons and unknowingly that human he had bred with having unintentionally died as a result of the Blood Order, the vaewolf had tried to keep out of sight of the humans. With the absence of the three packs, it allowed Icarus to hunt as he pleased from the plentiful prey in each region, more than enough for one lone monster among human, vampire and wolf. Currently, Icarus was in McDonalds and standing in line to order a huge meal after stealing some money off of some hikers who had been hiking through the Boreal territory. He was doing better at feeding himself, yet even Icarus knew his time within the territories wouldn't last forever and he would need to be careful concerning the Blood Order as well. On top of that, he had scented strangers setting up base somewhere and was wary to go look into the matter.

Silas R. Landon
Location: Jet
Interaction: open

The Lichen hunter was gruff and glaring at the back of a seat on the jet in which the Lichen pack was using to return. The male vampire had a sharp gaze, brown and chocolate toned hues briefly sparing a glance back at the not so good looking shirt stained with a brownish substance. He had spent his time with the Mikaelsons’ to end up quite deterred. He had grown attached to Evan, the vampress entangled him for sure, and now he was with his pack again. He was not in the brightest mood but would not let the stone mask on his face get varnished with his agitation. Besides, he took out lots of it before they left.

The brown haired hunter was sprawled our lazily, lean form draped over his section of his seat with a new clean shirt adorning his torso. He had a roguish look in his eye, as if he hadn’t stopped looking for something to do—to snuff the life out of. He hasn’t looked like that before, when he was in Hawaii he was only slightly approachable. Now he was completely back tracked to a serious brute. He used to be quite playful, but sometimes while sucking the life out of others the energy was in turn snuffed out as well.

Drawing his fingers over the buttons of the shirt, he quickly clasped the last one before returning to a sprawled out figure. Surprisingly no one cast a sparing glance his way, after all would you want to question a serial killer still cloaked in blood? Or it was just that the jet was private and hardly anyone with an opinion was around? More than likely that was the answer. He had cleaned up by the time the pack took off and now he was just handling the leftovers of it all. There were people aboard their ride, Silas didn’t know nor care if he had been seen by anyone not privy to their existence, rather his nonchalant and apathetic nature towards it could be considered problematic but he cleaned up his messes. Usually. Even now, he harbored a blood slave, taking care of her in the absence of her owners. Truthfully, he had no need for anything to constantly feed on, he drained rather than let live. He’d more than likely have to avoid any of the slaves because of that attribute.

Silvia A. N. Brandt
Location: Plane
Interaction: Ordan (briefly) scorpiodragon

The slim and rather quiet healer was leaning her head against the window of the plane—quite happy to be given the window seat on their flight back home. The vacation was quite dramatic, exes coming out of the blue for two very important members of the Custos pack. Not to mention Adesina and Eden just, well, falling off the face of the Earth. Silvia was very stressed out. Her mind was in turmoil trying to figure out how much nerve damage was really taking place with the few falls Ordan had, then how Adesina and Eden would get back—when she would get to see them again, the different vaccines that would help prevent the new baby from becoming ill, if she could even get sick. We’re werewolves able to be sick? Silvia wasn’t sure, but going along the route of giving the small girl the normal medicine would be the best route, truthfully she needed more background knowledge behind their species—don’t forget studying the vampires for when Adesina returned back home. She had to return back home, her and Eden both.

She wouldn’t be distracted on the plane, which was why she was practically moping that she would get to see the beach anymore and run in the sand, so aside from that it was just the lack of a few key components of their pack. However she did perk up at the voice of Ordan asking about whether they were home or not, she could only subtly nod her head up and down before remembering he probably couldn’t see her since he sat ahead of her in the furthermost row.

“I think so,” her voice was groggy and rather stiff as she responded to her alpha. The pale haired werewolf was about to be a bag of bones ready to pop and crack when she stood up though. Stretching out her stiff joints would be for the better, she felt cramped and corralled in her seat, so when she felt the plane adjust to the ground she couldn’t help the little twinkle in her observant hues.

Larkin A. Andley
Location: Jet
Interaction: open

The lean and nimble looking brute shifted his hazy gaze towards the pack, his head lolled back to rest against the headrest before his eyelids fluttered shut. Planes, he wasn’t as comfortable on planes as he was on land. The vampire had a serious dislike for risky traveling, even something as simple as flying was not so graceful for the refined brute. He was quite passive, taking a gentle approach or at least an approach that didn’t end with him coated in blood. Not anymore, not like his old friend Silas was. He sat a seat or two away, eyes flicking over the stained shirt the other male had discarded and couldn’t help but roll his eyes at the laziness he had in the simplest action.

The blonde and regal looking vampire was situated calmly yet there was a telltale of his inner stress as the plane had flown. Larkin gripped the arm of his seat with a white knuckled clasp, his unease was washed away by the time the flight was coming to an end, Larkin quickly released his grasp and cast a steely blank gaze around the plane before he clasped his hands together in his lap. He had that feline look to him, what you would expect one of his species would look like, oddly enough he fit many stereotypes it was slightly amusing. Or so he was told, Larkin lost count of what he looked like or what he was identified with, he never had the time to keep track—yet time was all he had.​

Oliver & Rhea
​

The siblings of Lichen were pretty quiet when they had boarded the private jet back from their vacation in Hawaii. Of course there was Silas who was coated in blood but nobody seemed to notice or dare approach the blood-drenched figure, a figure who was even now changing into a clean shirt and at the moment resembling a feline with only the grace of a vampire...or a dhamphir. Vaewolves didn’t have that type of grace. The Keeper was awake while his hunter sister was passed out in his lap, much to Oliver’s annoyance. At least he had managed to get away from her for a bit on vacation. That would likely change when they hit home. Larkin seemed uneasy about the flight. “Relax. We’ll be home soon enough,” said Oliver.

Shaded (Larkin, mentioned Silas)

Ordan/Xiulan
​

Ordan heard a response from his healer and then he heard Sylvia get to her feet as the plane touched down and made its way to the gate. His children were scattered within the plane though they stirred as the plane landed. Nestled in his arms was his goddaughter who was sleeping, the alpha dropping his head to the abandoned infant. As the plane came to a stop, the alpha turned to stare out the window, gnashing his teeth as he saw it it was cloudy.

Nisha/Abraxas
​

Nisha did not seem to like flying back to the town of Ithawell either, being generally fussy. It wasn’t too bad though the infant seemed to suffer from colic which was a nuisance at times. Though many had disappeared from Boreal, one remained the same and that was one of the betas but whether the woman who had pretty much cost Nisha’s mother’s life and the stealing of her two would return was unknown. There had been others, others the vampire infant had to get used to, new adults and an older child who was a werewolf, by the smell of dog that permeated the plane. Abha was the pup’s name and her family had ended up accepted by the pack’s new alpha.

Abraxas was not certain what to make of this pack, a pack whose alpha was missing along with a beta and several members. It was due to these missing members that he had allowed a family by the last name Wright to join. Though it did not fill up the sheer number missing from the original members, Abraxas had quickly established himself as alpha due to being the oldest within the pack and having the most experience of any of them. He had fought the male of the Wright family though for the position and beaten the younger wolf who now had a scar to remind him of his place in the world that narrowly missed his eye. As he had performed such a feat in front of the pack, they all knew who was in charge.

Khenan
​

Khenan hailed from Jamaica, as did his family. He had been given the rank of Soldier, his twin Subordinate, their cousin a healer. Though the family were all bitten, but for his daughter who was a born werewolf, Khenan and his family were having to adjust to him not being in charge anymore, something he learned even he got his ass handed to him when fighting this new man that had shown up at the same time as the Wright family and declaring himself as their new alpha. He had his rank due to being a good fighter and lasting a long time against the older wolf. He was just glad he had not been thrown out or put in some low rank like he had heard happened to wolves in the family’s travels. Abha slept on his lap, his sister and cousin somewhere else on the plane they were flying in.

Jaehwa
Location: Plane | Interacting: Ordan ( scorpiodragon ), Silvia ( Shaded )​

The past two months had gone by in a blur. Jaehwa was still uncomfortable around Ordan's children and the man himself, but both for different reasons. The fact of the matter remained that he was embarrassed, embarrassed by his own faults, his insecurities, and expectations that he himself had created. He was worried that he'd never be able to overcome this wall that he'd formed by himself. Inadvertently, he'd ended up making a monster that he didn't know he could beat. On top of his own mental sparing, with two of their packmates off on some wild adventure, it was left to Jaehwa and the others to try and pick up the pieces. And he wasn't handling it well.

Bags resided underneath Jaehwa's eyes. He yawned, nuzzling against the neck pillow he'd bought at the airport to help him get a few extra hours of sleep in. He loved Xiulan with every ounce of his being, but it was taking a toll on him to try and stay up and watch her every night. Thankfully--and he was really, really grateful for this--Ordan had stepped in and was helping take care of her. Seeing the other male cradle the child he considered his own made Jaehwa... happy. He felt like he'd accomplished something, something great at that, and really he had. Tarquin was especially proud of their little achievement. Having confessed his feelings had brought him closer to Ordan, and he quite liked it.

Honestly, he cared so deeply for the alpha it was really no wonder he'd ended up falling for him.

Jaehwa shut his eyes, trying to drown out the sounds of the plane's engine as he attempted to sleep, but Ordan's voice pulled him right back to consciousness. After Silvia responded, he let his eyes flutter back open, taking in a deep breath. "Are we home yet?" he murmured, not really to anyone in particular, for the answer to his question was announced as he felt the plane begin to land. It wasn't much longer before the plane came to a complete stop. Rubbing at his eyes, he forced himself to sit straight, his gaze immediately settling on Ordan and Xiulan with blatant fondness.

"Did she sleep the whole time?" Jaehwa asked, curious. He began to stand and got down some of their carry-ons, handing them out to their respective owners. Then, sliding on his backpack, he waited for the people in the aisle to move before he followed them off the plane.

Blake & Eveleen
Location: Jet | Interacting: OPEN​

The jet experienced turbulence every once in a while, but, ultimately, Blake was able to sleep through the worst of it. He had his arms folded and his eyes locked shut, his posture straight and perfect. Every time the plane shook, he shook with it, occasionally opening his eyes every once in a while to check on his companions. Seeing how there was nothing unusual about the scene before him, he didn't pay much attention to the others, trying his best to doze off. He'd been quite grumpy lately, and irritable, leaving every little thing bugging him. Honestly, he was concerned that they were returning to Ithawell too soon. He could use more vacation time.

...He could always use more vacation time.

The jet was around thirty minutes late, which was disappointing, but not something Blake dwelled on. He rolled his shoulders, taking in a deep breath and trying to relax. In, out. In, out. Focus on the positives. They had new blood slaves. Blood slaves bought without his consent using money he'd specifically hidden away, but blood slaves nonetheless. Speaking off...

Blake peeked over to one of them, the girl who went by Eveleen. Her blood was sublime--he'd treated himself to some before the jet had taken off--and he liked how submissive she was. She was resting with her head against the wall of the compartment, her long hair covering her eyes. Her mood had been rather passive throughout the vacation. Other than spending time with her fellow blood slave, she hadn't really looked forward to anything else. It was always moving from one day to the other, focusing solely on the now. Overall, there was nothing important to note between them, and they continued to doze sleepily.

Hanah looked bit shaked around her in plane. Her owners had vanished 2 months ago and Mistress's boyfriend had came to look out them month before they were going to leave and taked her with him as her owners were missing. She didn't know what to do and was scared for what would he do to her. Especially now when he was covered to what looked like blood. How people around plane didn't care how bloody he was, made her even more scare of her safety.​

Silas R. Landon/Larkin A. Andley
Location:
Interaction: Oliver scorpiodragon , Hanah Veltsu VI

The nimble looking brute recoiled, the faintest recollection of water trying not to overload that of a wine glass coming to mind, had Larkin trying to contain this hands from gripping the armrests again. His eyes shifted, just as his focus did, from relenting to scoping out the pair of oddities—Oliver and Rhea. He liked them, Larkin adjusted to others easily, never holding many grudges against another for anything except crossing him. He found the pair fascinating, being completely different yet quite the same.

When Oliver made a comment towards how he had been handling himself thus far within their trip, he graced his one stone like face with a graceful yet bashful grin. He didn’t like flying as much, no. Put him in a car going as fast as humanly possible, everything is fine, yet he always got caught up in planes. He used to blame it on the wars he served in, having been accustomed to planes only being used to wipe military out, he was quite nervous that they were used for civilians so commonly. But only the observant could tell he wasn’t at ease, so he’d have to commend the keeper for being so aware. “Planes make me queasy is all,” his southern drawl rumbled from his chest, he could feel every jolt and little jostle from the plane—he tried to blame it on his bones being so sensitive but he knew planes were like that sometimes, he couldn’t help but recall a few things. “So, was the vacation to your liking? Something must have interested you while at the villa,” Larkin inquires curiously, he was naturally easy going, but he still could easily shred away that feature and go rigid should the need arise.

All the while Larkin was distracting himself, Silas was staring out the window with a heated look. The brute let his hands flop into his lap, lacking the grace he had retained before hand while dressing himself again. It felt stiff and confining being apart of a group, but he needed to survive and he was putting in equal work to make a good life right there. Silas could easily be considered nomadic, his nature demanded it, yet he understood the risks. That was why he wouldn’t leave behind the Mikaelson slave, that girl—he had never been told her name—would be in a very risky position. She wouldn’t be allowed free because of the insight but she might not survive long with their species in mind. Silas was reckless, and so bringing her along with him was an option he seemingly took. Casting a sideways glance towards the girl, he huffed.

“You have questions,” he stated blandly, tongue clicking the roof of his mouth before he turned away from her. “Speak,” he advised, he wouldn’t be too light handed with her around the pack but he didn’t like the idea of slaves. The humans even gathered that was a poor tradition yet they needed a constant supply when they couldn’t get the meals—as a hunter relying on a blood slave is lazy. Silas was too high strung with his pride to give into feeding on what you teach young children how to feast on. His speech was relaxed, more modern compared to the tight lipped Larkin who spoke with the bigger vocabulary.

Harper C. Miller
Location: Plane
Interaction: Nisha/Abraxas scorpiodragon

The vampire female was bobbing her head up and down to some music spewing out of one of the earbuds currently placed in her ear. It was quite loud music—needed to drown out some not so kind thoughts that plagued her mind. Her hand rested—hopefully—in a comforting manner atop the young Nisha. Harper couldn’t leave the babe’s side, not since they all vanished. Davina, who was growing to be Harper’s second chance with her adoptive sister, went missing along with Damion. Harper went hunting for them, doing what she could to track them along with a few other members down. Boreal was facing change, a very dramatic one. The beta wasn’t easily pushed around, yet when her mind had a crack that began to form a new alpha stepped up. Abraxas took up Isabella’s role as alpha, even defended his throne by fighting off a new wolf.

Harper wasn’t confident, if anything she should have stepped up. She was of course the beta, but she couldn’t. Would the others sense her as weak because her lack of taking up the role? Harper sagged down momentarily, eyes glancing over at the vampire child in the care of Boreal. Maybe they did, but she would have to work twice as hard with the absence of the other beta as well as many other members. “Abraxas?” she called out, heading turning to the row adjacent to her own, her eyes sought out her alpha patiently hiding the impatience at bay. “Should we expect any missions upon our return? I’m sure sending out scouts would be helpful,” she advised from her seat, she always had this informal air about her. She was down to earth and quite welcoming in appearance—a fairly good reason why she was good with catching their prey. She was good to lure and coax things out of people, but her lazy atmosphere wasn’t always overlooked. “Maybe try and see what the other packs have done?”

Silvia A. N. Brandt
Location: Plane
Interaction: Ordan scorpiodragon , Jaehwa Kipsy

The slender werewolf was a bit sluggish, her neck aching slightly from being jostled around at their landing. Silvia was eager to exit, a wonderful vacation—it really was, but she couldn’t wait to return to her work. She could do so much more back at the healer’s room, her room. Silvia had come to terms with many things since becoming apart of the Custos family, and she appreciated that they accepted her willingly into their home. After loosing her family, she found another one amongst the wolves and vampires who didn’t want to be what they were. Only when they were cured would her life be complete.

Shaking her head free of any thoughts, Silvia quickly bunched her hair into a messy ponytail, a few strands sticking out here and there before brushing past the seats and to snag some of the luggage. She didn’t have much and she was quite grateful for that. Adorning her shoulders was a bag and a small suitcase. She only managed to pull the straps of her bag over her shoulder before helping pass out some other bags above her seat—the compartment was quickly emptied and then the passengers were filing out. “I want everyone to stop by when we get home, I want to make sure that no one is ill, and that your eye will be alright,” she motioned towards Ordan with a tilt of her chin. She wasn’t as scared of him when he was holding small Xiulan, in fact she was considered much more comfortable with Xiulan always being in his arms because he was quite docile...less frightening.​

Oliver

"It was nice getting the chance to get away from my sister," said Oliver, gesturing with a hand at the sleeping wolf in his lap. "I haven't had a chance to get away from her since our father and mothers were alive. We were never able to travel much...to many children to take care of and not enough expenses for frivolous things." He pushed his sister to the floor of the plane, it wasn't like Rhea was wearing her seatbelt, and the girl hit the floor with a groan as she woke. Ignoring his sister's dazed expression, Oliver shifted in his seat as he listened to Larkin speak of not being comfortable in planes. "Hmmm...trains and ships are my fear," said Oliver. "One goes too fast and turns into a crumpled twisting heap of metal...the other is too easy to get trapped and drown. All you can do is pretend you're somewhere else." Shaded (Larkin)

Abraxas/Nisha
Location: Airplane
​

Nisha appeared to calm some as Harper laid her hand on the infant, Harper being the only real source of familiarity now within the child's life. Meanwhile, Abraxas who had discovered the location of this pack he had taken for himself, had given his cousin the coordinates to search the pack territory for herself if she wished. The alpha was interrupted from his thoughts, and the newspaper he was reading, as Harper spoke up and asked him what they should when they arrived back home. "I suppose a tour would be nice and a chance to see what kind of food options are available as well as a tour of town to see what the humans think or believe of the supernatural beasts among them. "You can put the newcomers to work...I'm sure the child can have some work given to her as well to earn her keep such as chores," said Abraxas. He ignored the look from the werewolf he had fought to take over the pack whose eyes were on him from where Khenan sat within the plane with his daughter Abha. Shaded (Harper)

Ordan
Location: Airport
​

As Ordan got up, Jaehwa spoke to him concerning Xiulan. "Most of the trip," said Ordan. As Jaehwa got up to get their luggage and then waited for other people to continue getting out before he did, the alpha shifted Xiulan to the seat beside him and unbuckled his seatbelt, before standing and taking the infant up into his arms, Xiulan blinking up at Ordan and then reached out for him, wrapping a hand around one of his fingers. The alpha then squeezed past Jaehwa but stopped in the aisle as Silvia got up and spoke of everyone coming to the infirmary for a checkup when they got home as well as mouthing to the alpha that she wanted to check his eye. Ordan didn't see much of a point but he would be sure his children went since there was nothing that could done for his eye. It was gone and there wasn't anything that could be done for it. The alpha shifted Xiulan in his arms and then headed off the plane and into the tunnel leading to the airport itself. Sienna moved forward to help

"Saul and I can help you if you want," she said approaching Jaehwa, Saul somewhat behind his sister by a few people and visibly uneasy. She wasn't sure how the omega would take to a human helping them, but their father had spoken about the omega in a favorable fashion and seemed to enjoy the omega's company. Though father had said if they would return with him, they needed to pull their weight as long as they lived within the pack but might give them a sense of normalcy and how he would forbid his vampire alpha, wherever she had gone, to feed on Sienna as well as any future vampires that might join their family.

Larkin A. Andley / Silas R. Landon
Location: Jet
Interaction: Oliver scorpiodragon , Hanah Veltsu VI

The lean brute cocked a brow up, tendrils of blonde hair wavering in his face as he restrained himself from chuckling. The prom and proper aspect of him having gone disheveled as he observed Oliver casually toss the dead weight off of his lap. The blonde would have usually not spared a glance for such a motion but as he had no other focus other than Oliver and the conversation he seemingly became quite the observant brute. However he didn’t hide his amused grin like he might have previously done at the siblings antics. “I understand, it can be hard finding the right funds—especially when there are requirements to be met on our behalf,” he advised with an empathetic nod. He struggled quite often with travel himself—after he left the estate. He was quite the spoiled brat before that, so that was why he struggled after it all. “There is no need to rush to travel the world, I’m sure you’ll visit all kinds of places in the years to come.”

“Trains and boats, huh?” he inquired curiously, knowing that he was already not the only one having trouble was helping to relinquish some brief stress. He didn’t want to be the only one to have a dislike for a mode of transportation. Knowing that Oliver disliked boats did make Larkin shift, he wasn’t much of a water guy, he was never interested in anything involving water, swimming might be nice every now and then but sailing was not appealing. “Now you’ve got me afraid of trains at least,” Larkin teased, back relaxing into his seat as his head tilted backwards. He didn’t feel as standoffish as he had previously, before the vacation he was all work and napping, constantly hanging around until he was needed with a sharp gaze but now he felt less on edge.

Still rather closed off, Silas had closed his eyes when the girl tried to speak, his mind only paying attention barely before she paused. It looked like he had ignored her, but his eyes said otherwise as they quickly snapped open to observe the girl carefully. Brown swirling masses of his eyes regarded her carefully, like he was inspecting some kind of aspect of her but not quite giving it away just yet. “Silas,” he informed, some kind of thick accent picking up as he turned away from the blood slave once again. He wasn’t one to withhold names so it was a bit of a statement throwing him off that he hadn’t picked up on it. “I want nothing from you, just taking care of you for Evan,” he murmured her name quietly, his entire sentence barely audible as he huffed to himself. “You’ll he treated like every other blood slave, though you’ll be left alone by me, until the Mikaelsons’ need you, you should try and befriend the others as they’ll be your sole company. Now, do you have any questions for me to answer or are you going to be quiet?” he questioned, head lolling to the side as he slouched in his seat.

Harper C. Miller
Location: Plane
Interaction: Nisha/Abraxas scorpiodragon

The vampire shifted, her eyes angled downwards towards the young babe resting casually in her calmed state. Harper was worried for the infant, especially now that they were some of the last original members of Boreal. Harper couldn’t help but recall when the pack was large and bursting with life before it all became temporary, it had been a place where she had to claw herself to the top, and when she did things fell to the ground bit by bit until power shifted again—members were killed or lost. Once the brute’s voice caught her attention, the ashen toned woman shifted in her seat again before forcing a laid back grin on her face, “Sure thing, I’ll show you our borders and the town after you all settle back into the house,” she bobbed her head up and down slightly, “the town however has its quirks...namely the humans who hunt us, but good territory comes with a price, because we aren’t the only ones there after all,” she sighed, cloudy eyes dancing back to baby Nisha. She could keep the others busy, the new members would be infatuated with their home for sure, but she’d have to avoid letting them go into town. After the last solo visit, it was obviously a very dangerous place for them all to go. Even the purebloods might avoid the area too.​

Oliver
Location: Private Jet
​

Oliver listened as Larkin spoke of having all the time in the world to be exploring the world and how money could be tight to allow for things like travel. Father had had quite a few children to take care, both before and after he had been turned by his mother. Still, Oliver and Rhea never spoke of their past nor their parents and as far as anyone within the pack knew, they were the only children their parents had had. "Yes, father took us on a boat once, a cruise ship I think they're called, and I almost drowned when a storm came up and caused damage to the ship. Not a pleasant experience to be sure." As the plane would begin descending for the airport, Oliver closed his eyes for a few moments and then opened them to look around the private jet. "I guess this is it. Back to boring civilization...though I'm inclined to toss Rhea out of the jet." He gazed down pointedly at his sister who dazedly got to her feet and sat down in her seat she should have been in in the first place, giving Larkin an exasperated look.

Abaraxas

"We're predators. Humans are prey and have done much to our species'. They should be hunted," said Abraxas calmly and with a bite to his tone. "I understand this pack used to hunt humans...we will be going back to that. As for this ruffian pack of former humans...they can be killed if they try to stop our hunting of prey." As Harper said she could show him the town and the grounds once they were settled within the house, the werewolf nodded. "That sounds fine."

​

She didn't know how long she'd been running, how long her wound had been trying to heal itself. Evangeline ran and ran, darting in different directions every chance she got. Two months of torture and horrible things left her scarred, mentally tormented, and scared of every little thing. Imagines of the long-lived two months replayed like a movie on repeat, causing her to stop, her entire being shaky. Her ivory complexion was covered in dirt and caked on blood, her dress torn and ripped along the bodice. Not even realizing it, Evangeline stood on the border of the Lichen territory. As if on instinct, through the turmoil and pain, she continued on, her body pushing forward through the pain. Finally, she arrived, stumbling and tripping on her own exhausted feet. "Silas..father.." The words slipped from her cracked and bloodied lips. Continuing onward, she made it to the main building's steps before completely dropping and coughing. They had starved her, so her body was completely drained of energy.

Eden
Rogue Human Camp

​

Minutes, days, hours..

Eden couldn't tell how long she'd been chained up with silver around her wrists and ankles. Her body had grown thinner than her regular curvy figure and her skin had paled over the time she spent out of the sun. Slowly but surely, her mind was darkening with no sign of hope, doubts constantly filling her mind. Ordan, Ezra, Silvia, Adesina, Jay.. everyone she cared for was still out there, she hoped but had nobody left to find her? With a disheartened look, she let her head hang, earning a sizzling burn across her wrists. She gritted her teeth and flinched away from the chains. "Stop.." She pleaded pathetically before hearing the metal door swing open.

"I see you're awake, mutt," the man sneered and slammed the door shut behind him. He moved forward with a tray of scraps that smelled horrible. Grabbing a cup of unknown liquid and moving closer, he was about to give her a drink before 'accidently' dropped it and spilled it all over her dingy and ripped clothing.

The male snorted arrogantly and grabbed her by the shirt, yanking her forward. A feeble growl escaped her lips, her green eyes flashed angrily but soon faded as her body gave. "Let's have some fun with the silver why don't we?" He grinned maliciously, causing Eden to pitifully shift away in attempt to get away.

Adesina

The time away from her pack made the Alpha home sick, especially being away from Silvia, who, she cared about dearly. Over the past couple months, she tried her best to stay in contact with her lover and friends whom she considered her family. She had made arrangements with the other Alpha to surprise the rest of the pack with her return. In fact, the female had just arrived and parked her car in a secluded area of the territory, right behind the large house. Getting out and grabbing her bag, Adesina snuck inside through the back door. She whipped out her phone and messaged Ordan, making sure he knew that she had arrived safely and was now in the house; after hearing about what happened to his eye, she didn’t want to make anything worse for the male.
