Larkin A. Andley
Location: Plane/Jet
Interaction: scorpiodragon Oliver and Rhea

The brute cast a quick gaze off towards the young werewolf slung on the ground, his attention split evenly between Rhea who had been on the ground and Oliver with his explanation. The blondes brute understood the trauma lasting through the multitude of years, the vampire was highly aware that things carry over. Larkin bobbed his head along with the story, he wasn’t very focused on the plane ride at all now, finding himself soothed to some extent even if his eyes would flash occasionally to peak around every corner. The blonde pursed his lips while his eyes danced back over to the brown haired vampire, “I would expect that to be a very unpleasant memory,” he observed, though that observation was obviously not needed. “How about we make a deal—“ Larkin was about to speak and finish his statement when he felt the shift of the plane, his fingers digging quickly into the armrest. He snapped his eyes shut quickly, and once he felt the jagged like landing he turned ever so slightly to face the pair as Rhea began to get back up. “—we can overcome our fears. The moment you try and overcome boats I will snuff out the fear of planes,” he muttered briefly, air infiltrating his nostrils before he exhaled.

Harper C. Miller
Location: Plane
Interaction: scorpiodragon Abraxas

This Hispanic vampire tilted her head back momentarily, lips pressing together casually as her dark hues dance dangerously over to the new alpha—another werewolf. There seemed to be a trend, one involving the leadership of the Boreal pack and Harper’s lack of ability. The dark haired vampire hummer softly in consideration as the new brute explained his plans. “I couldn’t agree more,” she mused, she had a serious target on the human group, the one that killed young Nisha’s mother, she couldn’t wait to kill each one of them. Revenge killing wasn’t uncommon, not for her species, thought her mind faltered briefly. He wouldn’t have the personal connection to that group, Harper was growing weary at the thought of Abraxas not enabling her to go after the order. She’d have to do it anyways, for the safety of Nisha, and because Sabina would come back—everyone else would also return at some point and she wanted to show them her capability. “It will prove difficult, even at our biggest number they were problematic, I can brief you upon our return of the pure bloods and the dimwit rejections,” he sarcastic comment wasn’t quite amusing but used more towards insulting.​

(Been a while, but let's see what I can come up with.)

Ordan & Xiulan
Custos Villa
​

The ride home was spent with the alpha resting within the car since he couldn't drive with being blinded, at least according the pack's healer. This left Jaehwa to drive the group home, the alpha dimly aware of the over heightened senses and panic Saul was feeling at the moment. The alpha raised his eyes to the rearview mirror to see his daughter attempting to comfort the his son and huffed to himself before closing his eyes again. "They seem to be getting on nicely though puppy needs to learn its place in the world."

Ordan ignored Achilles' comment and focused on getting a little bit of sleep before they got home. He would need to familiarize himself with the territory again now that he was without sight in one eye...and maybe teach the pup something about his new form and how things worked. Once the pack got home, what was left of it anyway, the alpha got out and then opened the passenger door before grabbing his goddaughter and showing his pups to rooms within the house, giving them omega rooms as well since he didn't know if they would be staying or leaving the pack. Leaving his children to settle into their rooms, Ordan informed them that they would eat sometime later and that he wanted to speak to his son later tonight, that they would be going on a patrol. Getting confirmation from the boy, the alpha took Xiulan and left his son's room before heading to the infirmary to have the infant in his arms checked over, shifting the infant in his arms as he made his way through the house to the infirmary.

As the alpha was heading towards the infirmary, his phone went off and he reached into his pocket. The alpha was not getting a guide dog in order to function, not that he minded dogs, he was just not going to have one. Seeing a text message from Adesina, Ordan silently read over it to see the vampire alpha had just arrived at the pack's home. Typing out a hasty 'okay' and pressing send, the alpha slipped the phone back into his pocket, he removed Xiulan's fingers from his hair and headed into the infirmary. At least he had managed this without bumping into anything, but it wasn't like his eye was gone...or that he was blind in both eyes. "Xiulan's here to be looked at," spoke Ordan as he walked into the infirmary. "And will you stop trying to pull my hair?" he growled at the infant who only gurgled in response.

Oliver & Rhea
Airport, heading towards Lichen home
​

The plane touched down soon before Oliver could speak, the vampire snickering as his sister hit her head due to not fastening herself in quickly enough before turning his gaze back upon Larkin and continuing with their conversation. "I suppose I can agree to that," said Oliver, nodding as Larkin said they had time to be overcoming their fears. Providing we aren't killed, he thought to himself. He and Rhea got off the plane and followed the pack out of the airport and towards a waiting car that had been booked before heading home.

Abraxas
Heading to Boreal
​

The alpha listened to Harper as she spoke of briefing him of these humans who hunted their kind, though most humans tended to do so due to fear and prejudice. "Is that true? It seems it's unfortunate that I did not take over this pack earlier," said Abraxas. He pulled out his phone and texted his cousin who he'd made his adviser while continuing in the same bored frame of tone. "Khenan."

"Sir?" questioned the wolf.

"You will go on a patrol of the territory with Harper later on this evening. Your child will work for her keep by doing chores around the house and behaving as a servant until such time as humans have been purchased at the next auction. Your other family members will be given a brief tour at later date of things pertaining to healing and such nonsense from what I understand later, come evening." His tone gave no room for argument in the matter.

Lynde

them

We should be touching down soon and heading to Boreal. Harper will give a tour and the soldier and the other new ones have been given brief orders, as well as her giving me information on this...pack of destitute rejects and these humans.

Silvia A. Brandt
Location: Infirmary
Interaction: scorpiodragon Ordan and Xiulan

The young werewolf groggily lifted her head, she took a quick nap in the car on their drive back and was finally waking up from it. Her hands were busy at work trying to rearrange a few medicinal plants she read about over the few months in Hawaii, she bought a few of them and decided she wanted to study more of the helpful herbs—even though she was far better with under the counter drugs and medication rather than working with plants in the woods. She’d gotten herself busy the moment she got back, mind churning to keep her distracted from Adesina being gone so long. Worry did etch itself into herself, even Isabella was hopping around with concern, but being back home lifted their spirits just slightly. When Ordan arrived with Xiulan, she was in a balancing act of a few jars of whatever you could possible name and opening a few cabinets to store them in.

Bringing her hues up to spot the pair, she grinned. She was still quite hesitant of Ordan every now and then but she was steadily growing comfortable, but she could never deny that happiness little Xiulan brought with her. “Hey there little one,” she murmured after setting down the arranged items.Motioning to a chair she offered it to Ordan, it would be easier to just examine her there rather than take her from him—Silvia wasn’t sure if the young one would be comfort being examined in anyone else’s arms. She would need to test the curve of her back, her heart rate, and a few other examinations since they couldn’t take her to a hospital in Hawaii and Silvia managed with what she could find. “How’s your eye doing so far? No irritation? Have you had any pain on that side of your head?” she inquired as she went to look for a thermometer.

Silas R. Landon / Larkin A. Andley
Location: Jet
Interaction: scorpiodragon Rhea and Oliver , Eliruz

Silas was one of the first exiting the plane, unhappily in the sun but still outside nonetheless. The lean cat-like hunter was off at a running start, leaving Larkin with the responsibilities of everything as usual. Silas didn’t feel like being crammed into their cars with the stench of wet dog and then of course the blood slaves, he wanted to go on a hunt. Silas was frustrated from his previous few months, but now as he exited the plane he was far from feeling cramped or crowded, he left with a simple nod to a few as he descended the steps to charge out and away from the jet—he enjoyed the trip while it last however he was swarmed with another mass hunt. Silas was feeling like his breakfast didn’t last as long as he would have liked. Larking, on the other hand was silent in his observation of his old friend, his attention briefly drawn to the ashen toned male before he exited. Larkin arose from his seat to gather his things, attention quickly plastered to Oliver as he agreed tot he terms, Larkin in turn gave a brief nod of acknowledgement as they each separated to gather their belongings, “Glad to hear it,” he mused, he was more than eager to leave the plane. The lean and rather blank faced brute was brimming with experience and every time he got off a plane it was always a good one—when he got on them it was another story. And in a hurry, Larkin quickly slipped away and down towards the pack, he would accompany them now that they had returned. There was about to be some kind of job to do when they returned, and if he wasn’t kept busy he’d go lazy on them all.

Harper C. Miller
Location: Plane
Interaction: scorpiodragon Abraxas and Khenan

The young vampress observed with a silent ear, her head bobbing up and down in understanding as the new alpha spoke. By the time her attention had drifted to him he had begun to speak with a new member of the pack, one she obviously wasn’t well acquainted with still. As the werewolf replied, she crossed her arms and leaned back, that is until he mentioned her taking the new wolf on patrol. Quirking a brow up, she merely remained quiet before shrugging off the silence. The other werewolf was quite blunt in what he wanted and when it would happen, so to lighten the rather serious mood she jumped to introduce herself formally. Truthfully she might have been who knows where when they were supposed to be introduced to this new family.

“It’s a nice to finally meet you, Khenan,” she waved, she was quite childish in the way she held herself, more like a young adult since her mind frame was still keeping her in her twenties. “S’pose I should have introduced myself before the ride back, si senor?” she mused with a dip of her head, briefly her attention flashed to Nisha before she gave a rather welcoming grin to the newcomer, her mind needed to be elsewhere from her older pack mates she was missing and of her desire to hunt down another organization. Harper knew her mind wouldn’t handle too many situations all at once, in fact she was so aware of it that she was doing it on purpose. She nearly graduated with a degree in psychology before she wound up where she is, and she liked where she was. Striking her hand out in the isle to offer a handshake, she tried not to scrunch her nose up like she always did, new werewolves always smelt different than the one’s she was used to—lives with. Abraxas had the same affect on her, but his smell was one she grew accustomed to quickly because of the rank she upheld, it was a surprise she ever grew used to any smell truthfully. “I’m Harper, your tour guide of the territory,” she was friendly, always welcoming unless it concerned a select few, such as humans. She quite disliked them despite being one, she much rather eat them than befriend them, especially after what happened before the vacation.​

Evangeline
Lichen Pack Mansion
Interactions/Mentions: Silas ( Shaded )
​

The redhead managed to get into the shade, though the sun had caused a pretty bad burn upon her arm when she was running. The skin around the burn was reddening and was growing more and more painful by the moment; maybe that was because of the lack of needed substance in her system. Evangeline didn't know, nor did she really care. Reigning over her hunger was the absence of her father and Silas, the man she had grown fond of over the small amount of time they'd spent together. Her lids closed slowly and images of the brute flashed in her mind. She remembered the dark hues that were so cold when she first met him, the ones that slowly warmed into something close to melted chocolate when they had their first date. Her trembling lip tugged upwards in a small smile that soon fell when she opened her eyes. Though she was weak, her senses were still heightened enough if she focused. Her chin turned towards the mansion in concern; the female couldn't hear anything from inside. Growing worried, the female slowly lifted herself to her wobbly appendages, only to collapse back down to her knees. Her thin body was missing the needed nutrients to sustain her muscles, which were already weak from the months spent in a small cell. Trying to figure a way to stand, she grabbed ahold of the railing near her and pushed herself up. "Where are..you?" She rasped, her emerald eyes scanning the tree line. All of a sudden, a wave of weakness rushed over her, causing her grip to slip and once again, she was laying on the porch. Though she wasn't on the verge of losing her life, she was on the verge of passing out due to lack of needed blood. Her vision became blotched with black dots until finally, she gave into the darkness, her lids fluttering completely shut and her body going limp.

Adesina
Custos Pack House
Interactions/Mentions: Jay ( Kipsy ), Ordan ( scorpiodragon ), Sylvia ( Shaded )
​

After having put everything away from her suitcase, the Alpha stowed the storage bag into her closet before making her way out of her room. Adesina made her way downstairs and heard the familiar clanking of medicine bottles from the medical room. Taking in the scents around her, she noted that mostly everyone was back, but she didn't sense Ezra or Eden. Furrowing her brow, the female tried to come up with some reason why they weren't back, but couldn't put a finger on it. She put it out of her mind for a few moments so she could surprise Sylvia. The alpha made her way silently towards the entrance of the medical room and leaned her hip in the doorway, her gaze taking in the sight; Ordan was holding the little child Jay had found and Sylvia was about to run some tests, presumably on the child's health. Her curious hues raked over the figure of her love interest, a small smirk lifting her lips. "It's nice to see you guys arriving safe. How was the rest of the trip?" Adesina asked, finally making her presence known to Sylvia.

Damion/Davina
Boreal Pack House
Interactions/Mentions: Harper ( Shaded )
​

The trip to Davina's boarding school was too long for Damion's taste, yet the brute put up with it for the young girl. Once he had picked her up, she had so many things to talk about, going on and on about how she made many friends who were her age, how they bonded over being wolves, and even that everyone was just super nice to her. "I can't wait to see mommy! I've missed her so much!" The young girl squealed, her bright blue hues sparkling with excitement. Damion, on the other hand, was shocked when he heard the term 'mommy' slip from her lips; it was quite endearing yet he grew a bit jealous of Harper earning her first mommy moment before he got his daddy moment. He smiled adoringly and reached over, resting a hand over her smaller one. "I'm sure she can't wait to see you too, honey. But, here's the awesome thing about this," he explained while keeping his eyes on the road and continuing to drive, "Mommy doesn't know that you and I are on our way back; it's a surprise!" Davina gasped, her little eyes widening with surprise then joy and mischief. "We're gonna surprise her so good!" She declared definitively and put her little fist in the air as some kind of reassurance and defiance.

It was awhile until they finally arrived at the house. Davina was already out of the door with her backpack being carried in her little arms. "Come on, we have to get everything put away and ready for when mommy comes! Hurry, go clean up your room and put all of your clothes away! I'll be there in a minute," he told her with a grin. She didn't need to hear anymore after that. The little girl darted upstairs and hurried to put everything away, even if she was stuffing drawers and random things in the closet; she was ecstatic to see Harper, seeing how it'd been two months since she'd seen her or Damion.

Hanah Solo/Slave
Plane > cars
Shaded


Hanah followed Silas out of plane, watching carefully to her feets as she walked. Trying stop herself from tripping to her own feets. As they arrived to cars, she stepped to one where she saw other slaves sitting.

She felt other slaves looks on her, it had been month of her living with them, and she wasn't been used as drink whole that time. Even if she would have had courage to talk them, they were already acting towards her like her school "friends" had. They had stoled parts of her food when they get some, reasoning it as she didn't feed their masters, so she didn't need it. Even if her recovery when Mikaelsons had been with her, had gone backwards after 3 weeks, after they had vanished from mansion, as she had eated last of regular food from mansion, last week trying to eat less as possible before it ended.​

Ordan & Xiulan
Custos Infirmary
​

Sylvia seemed busy when he entered with the babe in his arms, the alpha sighing as the young wolf turned to him in the middle of a balancing act which she set down and gestured to a chair for him to sit before speaking to the child in his arms. He sat down, adjusting the infant when he settled and purposely moving her hands away from his hair. "Puppy is going to kill us," Achilles whined.

"The puppy is not going to kill us."

"You maybe...you know the omega mate is going to spoil the puppy. It's already got him and his wolf around its finger."

Ordan snorted at the truth of that. He turned his attention to Sylvia as she asked him if he was feeling any pain in the left side of his head or any irritation. "No...my eye no longer itches like it did when it was stabbed by that worthless slave that attempted to murder me," said Ordan, his face marring into a murderous grimace. The alpha raised a hand to put on the puppy's head as his forehead creased, seemingly thinking of something but he didn't speak of whatever was on his mind. "What are you going to do to Xiulan?" he questioned as he pulled the babe's thumb from her mouth that she trying to nom on. "Would you stop that?" he questioned the infant who was unable to respond. An answer came but not from the healer or the infant in his lap, his eyes darting up to see Adesina coming into the infirmary and asking how the trip was and if the pack had made it back safely. "Obviously....barring the absence of..."

"The two-timing brat and her abusive ex," spoke up Achilles, twisting their face into an intriguing, if not leering response.

"It didn't sound like he abused her...he just left her."

Achilles ignored Ordan. "So...when are you two going to..."

"Everything went fine," Ordan cut Achilles off, mentally snarling at Achilles who pouted and began objecting. "Saul and I are going to go on a patrol tonight, once everyone is once more settled into the house. The boy's a wolf...and as I..."

"You didn't fail the puppies."

Ordan ignored Achilles. "The boy needs bonding time. But I haven't gotten a chance to inspect the house or the territory. I think the pack should lay low for a while though...lord only knows what those other packs have done in our absence. How was your business trip?"

Oliver & Rhea
Heading to Lichen
​

The siblings picked up their belongings and Oliver hummed to himself as Larkin nodded him, Rhea whining about her head, which Oliver purposely ignored. His sister could be dramatic. They helped get luggage and headed off the plane, Silas disappearing as quickly as he was able and not even waiting, instead going off to hunt or so Oliver presumed. The siblings loaded the suitcases and such into the trunks of the cars waiting, one holding the slaves and both got into one, the Keeper sorely tempted to just either leave Rhea there or stash her in the trunk of one of the cars. His sister kept her distance though and when the pack was all settled, the drivers headed towards their territory and home.

Abraxas & Khenan
Heading to Boreal
​

The alpha turned his phone off and stood when the plane landed on the tarmac, not even caring that they were supposed to remain seated until they got to the gate. Instead, the alpha took in the human's scent when he was told to sit down and raising a hand, ripped open the woman's shirt, fabric tearing as he tore off a piece for later use. No little prey told Abraxas what to do....he would correct this problem when he had toured his kingdom as it were and checked in with his cousin. Abraxas remained standing as the woman shrieked and struggled to pull her shirt over herself before running down the aisle, ignoring the looks of the other passengers.

Khenan started as the female ended up reaching across the aisle to shake his hand but shook it as propriety dictated, the woman introducing herself as Harper and that she would be his guide for this tour the alpha had practically ordered them to take. His eyes slid to the stewardess that ran off after the alpha had purposely shamed her and tore his gaze away as Abraxas's eyes lit upon the soldier, hugging his daughter closer to his side. "K...Khenan Wright and my daughter...Abha," he said as he patted his daughter's head, thankfully still asleep. "My cousin and sister are also part of this pack...Gheisa's my sister and Larimar is our cousin." He glanced at the infant in the car seat next to Harper. "Is that yours?"

Silvia A. Brandt
Location: Custos Infirmary
Interaction: Ordan and Xiulan scorpiodragon , Adesina Eliruz

The pale haired werewolf tilted her head, eyes lighting up at the sight of the young babe, the young girl was particularly the center of her attention until Ordan informed her of the condition of his eye, she tuned into his response towards how his eye was no longer itching. She remembered the occurrence and winced at the thought and how painful it would have been to experience. She didn’t dwell on it for long, her attention turning to the little girl held securely in her alpha’s arms. “I want to make sure her vitals are the same as any other infant her age! I also want to check her breathing—Jaehwa explained he had found her in sand right? To make sure there is no trace of sand in her lungs, I’ll see if it differs from any other child,” she explained. Silvia would have tofind a way to contact one of the pediatricians from her old work place to make sure her findings were safe for the young girl. She worked closely with surgical situations, her main priority would have to be shifting from surgical operations and to dabble in just about everything. “Then she should be alright aside from some minor blood work to double check everything,” she informed, she was quite anxious to clear the child with all good colors, but there was that odd chance something could be wrong.

Letting out a sigh she was about to approach the pair when a scent hit her nose rather roughly—a voice managing to spook the healer as the thermometer dropped to the floor at the sudden approach. The pale haired healer glanced around, her face was morphing with excitement as she heard Adesina but attempted to contain it from it being too obvious. Silvia, much unlike her inner beast, was excited but not willing to express it in a very blow out way, Isabella was different. The wolfish half wanted to bounce and make the biggest deal out of it, part of Silvia wanted to as well, but she managed to not bounce and attempt to rush over immediately. Her eyes and face were laced with a gleeful expression, eager to be reunited with the vampire. “Adesina!” after her smile broadened and she retrieved the tool she almost leapt at Adesina. She quickly walked over though, eager to hear about how thins went with her—the truly only excitable thing that happened was the new family members of the pack—Silvia was often groaning about boredom with Adesina or getting stocked up on research.

Her pale face heated up, red and pinks flushing her face while her jaw dropped at the words coming from Ordan’s mouth. She couldn’t believe she heard what he had said, or tried to say before Ordan’s wolf ended up loosing control. The comment towards Eden and Ezra weren’t as concerning as the one prompted afterwards. It enticed a rather shy Silvia, she normally had a bit of fire to her but she merely stood there shocked and a little embarrassed. Letting Ordan take control she merely looked off to the side, she shouldn’t have gotten herself side tracked, but even now she found herself fiddling with the hem of her shirt, her bright toned hues flicking around and trying to settle on something.

Harper C. Miller
Location: Airport
Interaction: Khenan and Abraxas scorpiodragon

The ashen and tanned accented vampire arched a brow neatly, surprised by the sturdy grip. Her dark toned hair was in a braid off to the side while a few strands fell in front of her eyes annoyingly before she blew them away. Leaning back as they finished, she had just a moment before realizing what was occurring before her eyes as Abraxaa quickly humiliated the stewardess that was attempting to have him sit down, her eyes bore into him as she observed his facial expression with scrutiny. She couldn’t say anything, but she could silently judge in her head—unless she managed to slip up and speak her mind unwittingly. Turning back to Khenan, she peeked around the brute to see the young girl he introduced as his daughter.

Harper’s face lit up with excitement, the young girl would be great friends with Davina, but even thinking but the young girl and her beta companion had a tug at her dead heart, she missed them, wouldn’t admit it, but missed them. Khenan introduced the rest of his family, and Harper smiled, they all seemed close—she liked that. Tight knit families were always foreign to her, and now that she helped run a large family she couldn’t be any happier that even more were joining their ranks. Her annoyance with the alpha brief as her gaze turned to Nisha. “This is Nisha,” she informed, hovering over answering whether the young child was her’s or not, she was family, always would be. “Yes, she has her quirks but she is the sweetest baby you’ll meet,” she informed proudly, Harper hadn’t imagined taken on two children, but once the pack numbers dwindled, she knew each child needed someone to take up the role of they didn’t have one. Though not by blood they were family, and if they needed an aunt, uncle, father and mother she would gladly take up the role—of course excluding the father and uncle part. Placing her hand briefly on the babe’s car seat she turned to Khenan, “There will be plenty of room for everyone, I can show you and your family where everything is inside after the territory patrols. There are few of us, so patrols will mostly be you and me for now, I’m sure everyone else will be distracted and assigned elsewhere,” she nodded her head as the plane prepared to allow the passengers off.

Silas R. Landon
Location: Lichen Territory
Interaction: Evangeline Eliruz

The brute had left his pack so they could scramble their things together, the cat-like male not finding much interest in what was happening with the cars. Finding his own speed much faster than that of a vehicle, he made his way through town. The hunter was gone and crossed to the pack territory after minutes passed, he wanted a quick meal but what he would find wouldn’t be considered that. By the time he brushed past trees and traversed through the territory his nose quickly went to work in finding a group of hikers or just anyone foolish enough to hang around the area, what he smelt instead was lilac. Lilac and lavender, the scent was strong and fresh, familiar as well. It wouldn’t take long for the male to recognize the smell, and when he did he hunted it down.

Silas was easily curious but very blank faced around the pack, throwing out sarcastic whips every now and then, but right now his mood brightened, excitement building up as his pace quickened. He obviously smelt Evangeline before he saw her, but when he saw her his ugly temper reared it’s head at the sight of her distraught state. Silas wasn’t the type for cussing but as his brown eyes looked over her wounded form, he let out a low rumbling hiss and growl mixture. He was far off but by the time he heard his feet creak on the floor board his eyes glanced over her hurt and rather tired self. “You’ve really got to take care of yourself,” he scolded aloud as he crouched down at her side. He was fighting off the overwhelming amount of concern trying to surface, his eyes never lied, they were brown pools of worry as he lifted her to his arms. “Evan? Can you hear me?” he questioned aloud, he was hoping she was at least awake but she wasn’t—vampires didn’t sleep, he knew this and was highly aware of the bad omen it meant to see her in a sleep like state. Despite knowing this a few cuss words slipped from his mouth, worry etching into his form.

Clearing his throat he placed a hand on her face gently, face twisting with emotion as he attempted to gaze down at her. With a simple and final answer to the problem, he could conclude she was hungry and in need of food. Silas turned his head to look over his shoulder, he didn’t know how far the blood slaves were, so he found himself a simple solution despite constantly fretting over of it was hunger or something else making her weak. Bringing his wrist up to his mouth, he quickly but surely bit into it until he bled. He knew her for a short time, yes he could have used more time with her, but he had grown rather attached in that short time. Letting his wrist hover over her mouth, he’d need to make sure she was fed properly—though he knew she wouldn’t have vanished without reason previously. Silas was worried, and angry. Evangeline wouldn’t starve herself—so who would? “Evan—you’ve got to wake up.”​

The alpha watched the three and smiled; it really felt good to be back with her family. Her blue hues flickered down to the smaller female, finding her finally catching her scent. Looking at Ordan for a moment, she greeted him with a warm smile and was about to speak when the medic whirled around, completely dropping the thermometer in her hand, and practically squealing her name. The vixen chuckled and moved forward to embrace the woman. She was about to wrap her pale arms around the female, but found her face completely red when Achilles decided to speak up. Her gaze snapped towards the male as his eyes changed from color to color. Brushing it off as nothing, she slipped her arms around the female from behind and buried her nose into her neck. "The trip went just fine. We now have some new partners for medical supplies in Hong Kong, which means that, you, darling," the alpha pressed a kiss to Sylvia's cheek, "will be getting advanced supplies and equipment. Also, they've agreed to a few other things that we shall talk about later, in the office." Her eyes flickered up to Ordan's for a single moment, a serious spark in her eye before she let the warmth take back over. "I think after everyone is done here, we should get caught up. I have been gone for two months and I've missed you all." The vixen pressed a gentle kiss to Sylvia's neck before pulling away and wrapping a single arm around her shoulders. "How was the rest of the vacation? What did happen to those two?" She mused, implying she meant Ezra and Eden, concern growing. "I've heard there was a new mayor and new laws involving supernaturals. A new camp was set up not far from here, with humans supposedly kidnapping people. I just hope the two are safe.."

​

The redhead laid there, unconscious as Silas spoke and made his way over. Her body was thin, her pale skin somehow even paler than before, and her body was limp; it was obvious something terribly must've gone wrong. Evangeline was unresponsive as he wrapped his arms around her now lighter body and lifted her. His words didn't have a response once more form the female who lie in his arms, the fiery locks gently swaying in the breeze. Her clothes were ripped and covered in blood that was all her own, silver chain markings tattered across her once smooth and unscathed skin, and there were scratch marks across her face that wouldn't heal on it's own; even the wounds created by the silver weapons were deep and wouldn't heal at a normal rate. Being propped up in his lap to be fed, her head lolled backwards against his bicep. As he brought the liquid to her lips, she didn't respond until it slid down her throat. Moving weakly, her head tilted forward and her fangs tried to elongate to pierce his skin but she was simply too weak. Instead, she feebly grasped his wrist and gently suckled some blood from him. She opened her emerald eyes that weren't there normal bright ones, they were dull until she looked up and realized there was a man holding her. Jerking away with blood dripping from her lips, she wriggled around, her eye sight completely blurred so she didn't recognize the figure. "N-No more torture, no more silver chains or knives, please!" Evan weakly croaked before managing to wiggle free only to hit the porch. Her entire frame shivered and trembled with fear, her eyes filling with tears as she began sobbing.

Ordan & Xiulan
​

Ordan listened absently as Sylvia spoke of what she wanted to do to his goddaughter. Checking her vitals and her lungs, the woman asking if the infant had indeed been buried alive. "Yes...she was indeed buried alive." The alpha had been rather preoccupied with...Clover...and his other children as well as Zumitri's death. Speaking of Zumitri...the alpha would need to track down that child his friend had adopted and see what was to be done about it. The alpha wasn't sure how long it took a body to turn into a skeleton or even if Zumitri's body had been moved from his home. Was it worth it to go there and try to see his friend's body, only to be reminded of the fact that there would be no cure found now and that his guilt over not insisting his friend come with him. Ordan shook his head, startled when the puppy laid a hand on his cheek and blinking his good eye, looked down at the infant. Brown stared into blue eyes as the puppy kept her hand on Ordan's cheek, seemingly sensing her godfather's pain and sorrow. The alpha rumbled in his chest as he raised his head to look at Adesina, the other alpha greeting her mate and then speaking of there being medical supplies coming from Hong Kong and that her trip had gone well. She also gave Ordan a serious look, speaking of the pair going to the High Study to talk about things the rest of the pack didn't seem to know and nodded.

Ordan's face though turned into a deep frown at the news issued from his other alpha. Adesina spoke of there being new laws in place for super naturals and a rogue group kidnapping supernatural beings and hurting them, causing a growl to rumble from him, something his goddaughter attempted to copy. She spoke of her trip being successful and then inquired as to where Eden and Ezra had disappeared off to. "I haven't got a clue. They disappeared before our plane left, maybe a month into the trip and haven't been seen or heard from since," said Ordan. He was not too happy with what he was hearing, his decision for the pack to lay low seemed a good one now. He would have to watch Saul, the pup was more than likely to wander even without meaning to and there was his daughter who could be harmed as she wasn't a supernatural...not to mention Jaehwa who couldn't fight and the puppy in his arms. They were all he had left of a family and he had failed Zumitri and his children once, regardless of what Achilles thought. However, he also had a duty to his pack as well, to protect them and find a cure for them, if one were possible. "Perhaps patrolling with Saul can wait until the morrow," spoke Ordan thoughtfully. "They decided to come with me to see the territory and how I live...and something about getting to know me. I think it makes Jaehwa uncomfortable."

Khenan Wright
Plane to heading home
​

Their alpha didn't seem to sense the eyes on him from this woman who introduced herself as their guide and she glossed over whether the infant in the car seat was her own daughter. The wolf could smell that she was...metallic earth, both her and the infant in the carseat. Vampires, he thought to himself. He didn't have much of an issue with one, given their cousin was a vampire and released the woman's hand when they had shaken, his daughter's eyes opening briefly as she stared shyly at the woman and then cast her eyes to the infant who was silent. "That would be appropriate, a tour that is," he said, glancing furtively at the alpha who remained standing until they got to the gate and then pushed his way down the aisle without waiting for anyone. Hearing there were so few of the pack left alive or even around, the soldier nodded. Abraxas had said as much when he had allowed the family to join the pack. "I guess we should go...the alpha doesn't look like he will wait for us," he said, looking back to his sister and cousin who were quietly murmuring to each other.

Getting up, the family headed for the gate and into the airport, Khenan carrying his daughter while Nisha's carseat was covered and carried by Harper through the airport. Even though they were inside, the windows were still big and cast sunlight outside, meaning the vampires of the pack needed some protection. Tracking down the alpha, they followed him to a car and then headed for home, the ride passing rather swiftly the family, and by family it was most Abha and Geisha, looking out the windows at the passing scenery. After some hours, they arrived home and the alpha got out, looking around him at the territory and then the castle standing at one end of a long drive. Likewise, the Lichen pack finally arrived home as well after a few hours of winding through the hills in which they were mostly quiet and grabbing bags headed inside.

Rhea & Oliver
Lichen Asylum​

The cars stopped but unknowingly, though it looked peaceful outside, all was not well for there was something happening within. The siblings were well aware that Blake desired to speak with them but that would end up waiting unfortunately for him and fortunately for the siblings as there were more pressing matters to deal with such as where to put the new blood slave that didn't seem to really fit in with the others and get them cleaning the home. Oliver sensed the blood and a disturbance within the air that caused the Keeper to pause in grabbing bags. There was blood that he smelled and he sniffed the air, finding the smell led towards the house. "Blake...there's blood in the air," he spoke, knowing the alpha would be able to scent it himself.

"Someone is hurt?" questioned Rhea.

"Possibly," said Oliver. He dropped the bags and headed for the house, leaving his sister and Larkin, if the vampire so wished, to help carry the bags in the house. He had not smelled it in a while but there was the scent of someone familiar and Silas's scent as well as he headed towards, not surprised to find the door unlocked if Silas were indeed home but the blood was worrying as well as the scent accompanying it. The door creaked as he pushed it open, the blood smell hitting him and he swayed on his feet for a moment before calling out. "Who's here?" he called as he entered the house and began following the scent of blood, instincts taking him to his office to gather any necessary medical supplies. There was pain here...pain and fear he could tell though he couldn't say how he knew. Vampires were not empaths. As he walked though he realized that the scent that he thought was inside was only wafting in through the door and there was really nobody in the house but him. The vampire shook his head dazedly. Had he ended up missing the fact that someone was hurt outside and mistakenly thought they were inside the house?

The pale haired healer was engulfed in a hug before she could really object, and it felt nice. The werewolf found herself wrapped up in Adesina’s comforting arms, the werewolf grinned slightly before clearing her throat, shuffling on her feet as well she tried to the nervous pit in her stomach before she overheard the discussion with some pack in Hong Kong. Her mind was quickly distracted with the prospect of new equipment, if it hadn’t been for the sudden excitement of Adesina being back home, the idea of new tools was more than exciting. With the peck on her cheek and at one point another on her neck, Silvia was grinning from ear to ear. “How advanced are we talking? It doesn’t matter—it’ll be the upgrade we need I’m sure,” she informed quickly, her eyes twinkling excitedly though she did quiet down when they had a serious and brief talk about needing to discuss some matters—even talking about Ezra and Eden briefly. “You two go talk business, I can occupy little Xiulan!” Silvia offered, turning and kissing Adesina on the cheek before sneaking away shyly

Interaction: Evangeline Eliruz

She was unmoving, and each moment she didn’t react as his blood began to slip down his wrist the hunter grew evermore worried. His dark hair shadowed his darkening expression as his brown eyes flickered over her solemn appearance. Evan was light, weightless in his arms more than normal as he wrapped them around her thinner frame. She was paper than normal, and as she refused to react his brows knitted together in a concerned furrow. Silas grunted when he finally senses her stir, the slightest bit of movement had his eyes drug to the markings along her wrists, the discoloration and prominent scars remaining on her wrists had his eyes narrowing and his brown hues shimmer to that uneven red. She had been stolen, taken and injured, starved. His face contorted as he took in her ragged clothes covered in blood, but that examination was cut short when he felt her finally take in his wrist. He noted that she didn’t bite him, rather than drink like a human might and his mind was immediately back to worrying. It was odd, being worried so deeply for another person. It was foreign.

She was quick to get away from him though, his brown hues only just gazing into her emerald toned ones when she jerked away from him, trying to crawl as quickly as possible with the utmost horror. Silas watched with a crestfallen expression, it had a pang in his chest he didn’t realize he could identify. She had wrenched herself away from him quickly and he allowed her to slip from his grasp only for a moment as she spoke, “Hurt you?” he echoed dumb founded, even that was foreign to him. “Evan? Look at me—I couldn’t hurt you, what happened to you?” he whispered the last part to himself, his hand reached out but paused before he could really touch her again. She had been chained and beaten, starved to the point she couldn’t use her fangs. Silas merely snaked his arms around her shoulders, bringing her close into a hug. His hands were trying to comfort her, tucking strands of her messy hair behind her ear. “You need to relax, and not out here,” he sighed, he didn’t even know if she could trust him enough to let him help her. There was that deep rooted anger still surfacing at the marks on her wrist and the scratches on her face. His eyes snapped up to the driveway, unease settling in his stomach as he wanted to get Evangeline inside with as few questions as possible that was sure to come.

The ashen toned woman lifted her eyes to Khenan as he spoke, they were polite—something hard to come by during this day and age. “Sounds great,” she added briefly before she watched their alpha quickly leave the plane. She had to hurry and gather Nisha in her car seat before rushing off at a human pace, a little frustrated with the throng of people starting to exit. “Don’t worry, he won’t leave without us—I’m the only one who knows where we are going,” she spoke sarcastically towards Khenan before trying to catch up. By the time each had been situated into the car, everything grew quiet. Harper cast her gaze repeatedly back at the backseat, an attentive set of hues on the car seat holding Nisha. The vampire felt a bit of apprehension at returning without who she left with.Her mind absently went back to the annoying one in particular, it was uncanny how much she missed *that* one. She could already imagine his retort to hearing she missed him, that werewolf was far to easy to like—not that she liked him. At all. Harper glanced around hesitantly as they drove through the territory, her eyes scorching the territory and even the drive up to their home. It would be the first time driving up this path for some, but for her it the was the home she had for years, even when it was barren it was home.​

The female alpha watched Ordan with his goddaughter, a smile coming to her lips. She kept her mouth shut and didn't speak of how cute the two were or how she could tell the pup was growing on the brute. Turning her attention back to her love interest, a chuckle leaving Adesina's lips. "The newest x-ray machine, CAT scanning machines, medicines, new tools, and a lot more. The shipment should be in soon," she informed Sylvia before smirking; as Sylvia went in for a quick kiss to her cheek, the female turned her face slightly and pressed her lips to hers, just to see her turn completely pink. Finally pulling away, she turned her attention to the other alpha, listening about the pack mates that had disappeared and grew worried. Pressing her lips into a thin line, the tall redhead sighed softly. "Seems like we have even more to discuss than I thought." She murmured before gently pressing a kiss to Sylvia's forehead one last time before motioning Ordan to follow up to the High Study.

​

As the female blinked away her tears enough to focus her vision, she found a familiar pair of brown hues watching her with a worried expression. Evangeline sat there, her emerald eyes hauntingly staring at him, memories of the screams echoing in her ears. The entire two months she was there, she was violated, beaten, tortured to the brink of death. As he reached over, she jumped, terrified to be touched, even if it was him but once he pulled her close, her trembling body gave in. Breaking down, she curled up in his hold, sobs racking her thin figure. "H-Humans..a camp of t-them..new mayor passed laws for hunting u-us," she managed to get out in a croak, "they u-used silver chains a-and silver tools, they t-touched me..I don't want to g-go back..I-I can't..Silas.." Her sobs only grew heavier as she was held, her hands grabbing ahold of his shirt and gripping it in fistfuls. During her break down, she could hear the car pulling up and footsteps. Her body tensed and she lifted her teary face to find a somewhat large male curiously and cautiously making his way to the front door. Pressing into him, she watched with terrified eyes, not knowing if this new male was going to hurt her. All of a sudden, her eyes shifted to a bright gold and her fangs elongated in an attempt to protect herself; it was a primal instinct that took hold. "Who is he? Who are they? Do they want to take me back to the humans? I can't go back!" She hissed, her weak limbs trembling and panic rising in her golden eyes.

Damion heard cars pull up and his head snapped up, his blue eyes widening with excitement; he wasn't the only one who knew. The little girl jumped up from his lap and threw the book they were reading at the male before darting off to the door. Damion got up after her but before he could say anything, the door swung open and she was off, darting with renewed energy. Her blue hues searched the barren grounds until she saw two figures splitting off from many, seemingly going to do a patrol. Sprinting towards them, Davina started screaming. "Mommy! Mommy!" The girl's voice was loud and high pitched as she finally caught up to Harper, whom was with a new member. Pouncing on the female vixen, she wrapped her arms tightly around her waist and squealed. "Surprise, mommy! Daddy and I are home! I missed you sooo much! Oh, I have so much to tell you! School was so much fun, but not as fun as here!" She rambled on until finally, a deep chuckle rang out from behind Harper; it was Damion, watching with an affectionate look. Seeing the new male standing next to her, jealousy struck him deeply and he didn't know why but he suppressed it and nodded towards the male in greeting. "You must be part of the group of new members, welcome to the pack. I'm Damion, the Beta- well, the other Beta." He introduced himself before extending a hand, his eyes flickering back to Harper, his eyes sliding down her figure. "When do we get to tell her that we.." Damion's wolf huffed jealously mentally, in which Damion shut him out and focused on the task at hand.

The sentinel patrolled the house, her dark eyes narrowing when she heard the cars in the front yard. Moving forward, October strode to a window and peered out to find newcomers and the new alpha she was informed of. Having been given watch over the house, she had stayed home the two months voluntarily with Jace, the pack medic, whom was out gathering herbs for their pantry. She moved away from the door and ran a hand through her dark brunette hair; she just hoped that this new alpha would be involved. As the door opened and the newest members came in, she smiled warmly and invited them inside. "Welcome, my name is October. I'm currently the overseer of the house and guard, which we like to refer to as a Sentinel." She greeted, extending her hand to shake the hands of the two women that walked in and smiled down at the smaller child. Her gaze snapped toward the older male who entered after them, who she presumed was the new alpha. Straightening herself, she greeted the new alpha with a nod of respect and extended her hand to shake. "You must be the new alpha, Abraxas, correct? It's nice to meet you all," she spoke welcoming, "if you'll allow me, I'll show you all to your rooms. They are prepped and clean for your use, so I hope everything is to your liking. If you have any questions, you can just ask me or the two Betas, Damion and Harper."

Oliver
Medical Room, Lichen
​

Oliver reached his office and entered, pulling out a key to unlock the door. He leaned against the wall, taking a few minutes to breathe and try to get hold of his senses. The cool air within his room was always a welcome relief to the vampire but he did not move. If someone was hurt then Oliver needed to be prepared to help in whatever fashion was necessary and damn Blake with his scolding of taking money...he hadn't done so after all. Shaking his head again, the pale male began gathering up herbs and medicines that he had stored on shelves and in a fridge, the vampire pausing as he heard a voice from outside. Striding across medical room towards one of the windows and peered down. It took a bit of searching for the tired vampire to see there were two figures on the porch and he could see Silas as being one of them, another being some woman. In his tired state, the vampire didn't realize who it was but turned and headed back to the fridge, rifling through the contents until he found what he was looking for. Grasping it, he snatched up a few things he'd swept into a bag and headed outside, footsteps faltering as he left the safety of the house and came onto the porch. Moving across the porch, he soon came upon the scene, Silas bleeding from his wrist and a woman huddled into the older vampire. Rhea came up the stairs then with bags and poked her head around her brother, then giving him a look. For a few minutes the pair stood there, seemingly conversing with each other, before she skipped into the house and left Oliver to deal with the issue. "Easy there...I'm here to help," he spoke.

Ordan & Xiulan
Infirmary to High Study
​

The alpha didn't seem too keen on releasing the child whose hand he carefully removed from his cheek, patting the infant on its head as Adesina clarified the equipment for Silvia's benefit. He wasn't sure where this medical equipment would fit in the infirmary but he had designed it to be one of the bigger rooms within the house. "Well that was interesting," which was followed by the alpha purposely slamming his forehead into the table.

"Do you ever shut up?"

"Sometimes..."

Just fucking kill me now, he thought to himself. Feeling Xiulan's hand on him again, the alpha huffed to the child and stood, handing her over to Silvia. "Let's go then," said Ordan, leaving Xiulan in Silvia's care. Seeing Sienna in the doorway he turned his eye on her. "Tell your brother we will not be doing a patrol but I still want to speak to him."

"Sure father," said Sienna, the girl turning and heading back to her room. Sighing to himself, Ordan began searching through the house for the high study. Achilles, thankfully, seemed to sense the urgency of the matter but was just as confused as Ordan. Eventually finding his way towards the high study, the alpha opened the door and went to sit in the chair behind the desk, the windows behind him. Waiting for Adesina to enter and shut the door, the alpha turned his gaze towards the alpha, Achilles forcing his way through to listen to the information and turning their good eye silver.

"What is the issue you bring that is so concerning?" questioned the pair, their voices mingling with each other, making it difficult to tell who was speaking. While they were talking, Xiulan stuck her thumb in her mouth and sucked on it, her stomach rumbling, eyes watching her godfather leave the room.

Khenan set his daughter down as he stepped aside with Harper once they got to the house, leaving his daughter in the care of her aunt. The solider didn't expect for the door to open and out come flying some child and following her was a man that smelled of wolf. Khenan shared a look with his cousin who was watching curiously, his sister taking hold of Abha's hand as the alpha continued staring at the house, the piece of shirt he'd torn from the stewardess in his pocket. "Patrol Khenan," he growled, the young wolf flinching at the order. The alpha studied the newcomers, scenting the male was a wolf as well as the child though it had the faded scent of vampire on it and his eyes hardened. His attention was turned as the male spoke to Khenan, introducing himself as the other beta and he turned his gaze this time on Harper.

"Is this one of those creatures that disappeared with your sorry excuse for an alpha?" he questioned. His attention, however, was drawn to the door as it opened and a woman appeared, introducing herself as the overseer of the household and territory as well as her position. "Hmmph…so you've met my cousin then. Where is she?" he questioned.

"Pleasure to meet you," spoke Geisha, flinching as the alpha growled at being interrupted.

"Which one of you is the healer?" he questioned the women.

Larimar held up her hand. "I...I am."

"Show the woman the medical things and put her to work," said Abraxas to October. Glancing from Abha to the other child, he snorted and turned his attention back to the woman. "Put the children to work after you show the pup where it will stay. I'm sure there's something they can do around here to earn their keep." Waving a hand, he gestured for the woman to show them to their rooms.

"She sleeps with her fat...."

"Does it look like I care?" Abraxas questioned. "Your purpose is to heal the soldiers, sentinels and pack, not whine about where the pup sleeps or being a servant."

Silvia hadn’t been expecting the shift in movement, now normally considered a bit courageous as of late, she was a bundle of knotted emotions when the planned kiss on the cheek morphed into a full on kiss. She was left stunned for a moment—actually think if she had intended that or not, before realizing at least *one* of the two had pulled a sly one. Silvia wasn’t complaining though, her mind buzzing from the kiss and she blinked to regain herself before she moved away. She didn’t want to become nosey, but as she overheard the talk about Eden and Ezra she couldn’t help but listen with what information was shared. She hadn’t thought much on their disappearance, she believed Eden was tasked with something from Ordan but now realizing that her friend *wasn’t* sent out was worrisome. Ezra was one she didn’t know very well, she had no idea where he was either, so she content it listened as she began to sanitize the tool she had dropped as she observed Ordan holding onto Xiulan before Adesina motioned for the other alpha to meet in their work space. Eagerly taking Xiulan once they were ready to part, the healer was quick to grin at the young babe, “Hungry are you?” she inquired before propping her up in her arms, “Maybe a snack break is needed.”

Silas R. Landon
Location: Lichen Mansion
Interaction: Evangeline Eliruz , Oliver scorpiodragon

The male had noticed the hesitance and distance she would try to put between them, his chest getting twisted into a pang briefly. Silas was rather apathetic to anything that wasn’t a meal, so feeling the more negative emotions like hurt was a bit hard for him to handle as he looked down at her—he could sympathize the pain she felt and the scar it left but never exactly empathize for Evangeline. The male couldn’t connect to her through the pain she felt, he could just feel what he felt for her, to be there and he was worried she wouldn’t let him. It was strange, that pull that told him to do things like hold her—he didn’t operate like that at all. He was temper based in emotions, if he was mad then he was mad, if he was happy he was happy, very primitive in thought but easy to explain. Evangeline, even now managed to help him develop new feelings that branch off different ones. Silas couldn’t help but frown at her reaction, though when she did warm up to him and curl up in his arms he held her close. He was afraid she would turn away.

Silas had been caught up with Evangeline as she described what had happened he hadn’t realized his anger growing nor the approach of Oliver with the pack. The male was growing grotesquely annoyed at the descriptions she gave, the treatment she had received was far from acceptable in how to treat a woman—let alone what he defined as treatment. When Evangeline quickly jumped to being fearful of Oliver at his slow approach to their asylum home, he quickly wrapped his arms tighter around Evangeline to give some kind of comfort. “Oliver! No, he isn’t going to take you there—no one will ever take you there,” he coaxed, it was odd hearing his accented voice try and soothe another, but he had remembered a similar situation occurring when they had first met. “That is Lichen—my pack,” he murmured softly, trying to coax her from lashing out. Her golden gaze flashing in his view as his hands ran soothingly along her back. “They won’t hurt you,” he promised silently, a pleading look entering his brown hues as he glanced over to search for Oliver. The pale toned male had reappeared just as he disappeared, he didn’t know if she had more wounds than what were visible, the best bet to her better health was Oliver.

Interaction: Damion and Davina Eliruz , Khenan and Co. scorpiodragon

The young vampire was about to split off from the group to patrol and show the grounds to Khenan while Nisha was being cared for, when she was startled by a shout. Turning her hazel toned hues to glance over her shoulder Davina had already appeared at Harper’s side, hugging her tightly. The little girl was a bit of a shock before the beta quickly squealed in delight, the vampire eagerly wrapping the young werewolf in a tight hug before bouncing on her feet excitedly. Harper has been moping not too long ago about missing Davina—and Damion. Harper was easily distracted by the bundle of a talkative mess hugging her, Davina was chatting her sensitive ear off as she explained how much fun she had. Then something else dawned on her—Davina called her mommy, and then came another set of excited squeals and laughter, “You called me mommy!” she laughed, eyes lighting up, she had a lively look to her despite being technically dead. As she grinned and beamed down at Davina, having a crowd of strangers wasn’t something that stopped Harper before, so why would it now?

Her smelling might not be as great as the next werewolf, but she managed to find herself catching another scent that had her hopes high despite her insistent attempts at saying she wouldn’t be happy to have him back—she lied. Turning her head she couldn’t help but grin from cheek to cheek at the sight of the messy haired and bearded brute. Harper couldn’t help the glint in her eye as she mockingly smirked, “I had a mommy moment before you did!” she taunted sarcastically, though her attention was pulled to Khenan who was probably confused with what was happening. “I almost forgot—“ she informed after hearing Damion introduce himself to the new member. Harper was buzzing with energy now, eagerly turning back to Khenan as she placed her hands on Davina’s tiny shoulders gently. “This is our daughter Davina,” Her eyes flickered back to Damion only briefly, surprisingly eager and happy that that dark haired werewolf was back as well, but she retained her excitement from jumping around again to gain a more professional look since she was about to conduct some of her duties—even if she wanted to be bouncing around and playing with the children. Maybe she could convince Damion to take up this position—the thing was that she also wanted him there, and even if it perplexed her as to why, she didn’t question it. However what she did question was why she suddenly sobered up from the excitement upon her alpha speaking and beginning to approach, she cleared her throat and stood stiffly, trying to contain her excitement yet finding herself a little annoyed with the strict tone. However she merely shook her head, at his inquiry before he moved on to demand information in a rather military formed way. Harper shared a glance with those in the pack, she had seen nothing but this from the brute and had hoped he might of just been trying to make sure his place was known—but it didn’t seem like it was the case.​

Following the male up to the High Study, moving towards a bag she'd set in the room earlier on. Adesina took out a piece of paper and ran her fingers over the creases as she spoke about the new laws first. "I've been doing some research and have found out some very disturbing news," the alpha sighed and leaned her frame against the bookshelf behind her carefully, "humans can freely hunt our kind as well as yours and hybrids. Where I've no concern for hybrids, I am concerned about our pack. We need to keep our guard up at all times, and as you said, lay low." Opening the letter upon finishing her words, her blue hues flickered down at the quickly scribbled words and cleared her throat quietly. "This next topic will not be easy for you to speak about, but it must be brought up. I know you have negative feelings right now regarding Eden and that wolf she was with, but I think her disappearance has something to do with these new human camps popping up." She spoke once more before beginning to read the letter aloud, her voice slow but filled with worry.

"Dear Adesina,

This is very urgent, and I have nobody else to turn to. Something horribly wrong is going on here and something has happened to Eden; I can't find her anywhere and need your help or anyone from your pack. She's been taken and I'm pretty sure it's by these damned humans hunting down both of our kinds. I have evidence and research as to where she might be, I just hope you get this in time. Please come back in haste, her life may depend on it.

~Ezra"

Handing the paper to Ordan, a worried look overtook her normally stern and warm motherlike features. "I fear the worst; she may be in grave danger and I hate to say, but if I must, I will go searching for her. She is a dear friend and apart of this family," Adesina sighed softly and looked towards the window, "I just hope it isn't too late.."

The female peered at the male who reappeared with many herbs and a bag full of items. Her golden gaze wavered with uncertainty, but soon enough, she was enveloped in a tighter embrace from Silas. Evan sniffled softly and leaned into him, her body seemingly relaxing and her eyes slowly transitioning back to their dull emerald tone. She seemed, from first glance, to really know Silas and possibly be even infatuated in some kind of relationship with him, which was technically true- the two could be considered as romantic interests, whom were in the process or a similar process of courting. Yet, even if that is so, she hadn't seen the male in just over two months. Her mossy hues flickered up to Oliver as she studied him, in which he seemed kind and wanted to provide some help. So, trusting Silas and his words, she slowly loosened her grip and allowed Oliver to examine her wounds. There were many sunlight burns along her arms, two larger gashes running along her back and three smaller ones cutting across her abdomen, a few scratches across her freckled cheeks, and finally, chain burns around her wrists and ankles.

Davina heard the voice of an older man and slowly looked up with big, blue hues that gleamed with excitement that soon turned into hesitancy. "Who are you?" She asked before curiously moving towards the male, oblivious to the man's position. Reaching up, she grabbed ahold of his hand in her tiny one and gave a gentle tug, her blue eyes sparkling with warmth. "My name is Davina, but Mommy and Daddy call me Dav." Looking up at him, she gave his hand another tug and tilted her head to the side. "You sound grumpy, kinda like when Mommy found me in the woods being chased by those mean wolves who bit me. Even though we're different, she made me feel better and happy when she brought me back here! So I will make you happy!" After declaring her little statement, she marched onward, trying to lead the male inside while October seemed almost humored but kept her chuckles for another time. "Of course, I will be right back, if you can survive Davina; she's quite the love bug." With that, she motioned for the women and child to follow her so she could get them settled in.

Damion, on the other hand, just watched Davina and couldn't help but lean down to Harper's ear discretely while the alpha was preoccupied being tortured and smothered with a warm welcome. "I just had my Daddy moment," he smirked and gave her a nudge before straightening himself to join everyone inside. "I'll see you two after your patrol and then we can get a proper introduction."

As car stopped and door opened, other slaves pushed Hanah enough that she messed up with her legs and falled from car to ground. Other slaves didn't seem to care about her being on ground and started getting out of car, occasionally "accidentally" kicking her, only after last slave had get out, they let her get up.

She missed her own Mistress and Master. She felt that she was just burden to Silas and his pack. It didn't help that other slaves hadn't told at begin where cleaning supplies had been and occasionally ruin her works, when she didn't herself tripped by own.​

Xiulan
Infirmary​

The wolf seemed to sense that Xiulan was hungry for it spoke to the infant as she sucked her thumb, twisting her small body to try to look up at Silvia. It didn't work so much as putting her in an uncomfortable position and she blew out a bubble instead in answer to the question about being hungry.

Oliver

Breathing a sigh of relief, though breathing was pretty much uneeded by their kind, he approached the injured woman who didn't smell like pack at all. His eyes darted briefly to the falling of a body on the ground as the new blood slave fell or was pushed out possibly by the other ones. They seemed to be establishing some sort of authority among each other, the vampire not particularly understanding it as he spoke. "Get up and get inside...I'm sure someone can find something for you to do," he spoke before turning back towards Silas and the woman in his arms whose eyes were golden and fangs elongated. Dealing with starving vampires or starving anything was a nuisance, their instincts to fight and eat were in high mode then. Of course he would see to the human later, make sure it was healthy enough to give blood, but the rogue vampire was an issue Blake would undoubtly address and needed healing at the moment. When she relaxed enough to allow him to come closer, the keeper walked towards her and examined her injuries as much as he could within the porch. "She might have some scarring and is starved. She needs fresh blood," he spoke as he passed over a vial with crimson liquid in it. "Force this down her throat if you have to Silas. It's...a little boost of energy." In truth it his and Rhea's brother's pills that were left over, crushed and mixed with blood. The pills would dull the pain and stave off the hunger of not having blood for a little while. Their brother had needed it, given he had some rare disease. Kneeling down, assuming Silas had taken the vial, Oliver reached out and began examining the female's injuries that he could see on her wrists and taking note of the sunburns on her body.

"We need to get her inside the medical room," he spoke. "Can you carry her?"

"Two children?" questioned Khenan. He heard their new alpha speaking harshly to his sister and issuing orders like he expected to be obeyed or was running an army. Maybe that was all they were to the werewolf. He didn't understand why the one child had been seemingly missing from the pack when he and his kin had been allowed to join, nor why a vampire was saying a werewolf was its child. Nevertheless, he nodded absently to Damion and waited for Harper to finish fawning over the wolf child as the vampire child named Nisha was handed off to someone. "Uhhh….pleasure child. Pleasure to meet cha."

Ordan
High Study​

Both sides of the wolf alpha were silent as Adesina began to speak. "These humans need to be destroyed. They'll harm the puppies and the pretty mate wolf." Ordan's eyes narrowed as he focused internally on what Achilles was saying. "I propose going back to hunting."

"Sienna has no protections against other humans, undoubtly they will not believe she is my child or use her to get to us or her brother," spoke Ordan to Achilles, the human side mulling over his inner wolf's next suggestion and finding he didn't at all disagree. "We haven't hunted humans for food in years...and we are currently half blind and vulnerable."

"The puppies need protection," Achilles stubbornly stated. "We did hunt the useless slave though."

"Who came back from the dead and is looking for us probably as well as killing Zumitri. He was not hunted for food though I'm sorely tempted to track him down and finish the job."

"He nearly killed us with his freak show. Fire should work." Ordan hummed in agreement, he would need to correct that problem if necessary. Moving his hand up to his dead eye, the alpha rubbed at it as wolf and man mulled over this information on humans being given permission to hunt all supernatural, no matter if they were vampire, wolf or hybrid.

"I suppose the tri-pack hunt is a bust then," spoke Ordan. Adesina then spoke, running her hands on the crease of a letter that he only just noticed, the alpha's face turning into a frown as he heard Adesina's next words about getting a letter from Ezra.

"What the hell does the woman stealing puppy want with us? He shouldn't have left the safety of the pack then," Achilles snapped with a growl, taking over full control momentarily. Achilles did not seem too happy with what Adesina had to say about Eden's disappearance, or maybe he was just still fuming about the fact that Eden had chosen the man that had hurt her in favor of them. The wolf visibly snarled though as Ordan grabbed for the paper that was handed and dropped their eye to read over the letter, moving his head to see what was on the left side of the paper as he read over it.

"So...Eden has been potentially taken by humans...." but was interrupted by Achilles snarling mentally that it was their pack and Adesina had come at a later point in time, that the puppy had best get his facts straight. Ordan sighed and closed his eyes for a few moments, continuing to rub at his dead eye as he mulled this information over. "We may need to invest in security for the vacation home," Ordan spoke mentally to Achilles which shut his wolf up, stunned that Ordan had come to a decision on the potential purchase of the home.

"It doesn't seem like this is the action of the pathetic food," said Achilles as the wolf turned the letter over.

"No it doesn't," agreed Ordan. "Though Adesina did say there is a new mayor."

"Sympathizer to the food which needs immediate termination for the puppies' safety."

"We cannot just hunt the human until we know what we are facing..." Ordan argued, both seeming to ignore the fact that Adesina was there. "We've had this discussion before Achilles."

"Hmmph…we need to do more patrolling...even without son's help and there's that other..."

"You want to go look for Eden and Ezra?" questioned Ordan, cutting off his wolf, appearing to have heard the bookcase creaking as Adesina leaned against it. The alpha set the letter down and leaned back in his chair, eye flickering between silver and brown as the wolf alpha seemingly had a discussion with himself for several minutes until his good eye settled on silver.

"We do not like this," said Achilles. Nevertheless, the alpha rose to their feet, pushing the chair back and turning to stride across to the windows behind him, peering at the grounds.

"They are pack even if he did abuse Eden," spoke Ordan, seemingly to both Achilles and to Adesina. "They are part of the family and need to be here. Going into enemy territory alone is foolish...but sometimes it is best if the enemy thinks there will be more than is necessary, they underestimate and can be taken by surprise. Of course...it also leads to death or potential capture...." It appeared Ordan was planning on going with them, even though Silvia would likely not want him leaving the pack.

Abraxas
Boreal Home
​

As the pair of women and the child followed October to their respective home, the alpha frowned at seeing the puppy approach him. Obviously, it was not taught its place within the hierarchy of the pack either. That would also need...correcting at his earliest convenience. Whatever the child thought it had here would be earned, same as with the newcomer child and the babe when it was big enough to start doing chores. Said child ended up coming up to him and speaking as if it wasn't afraid of him. He knew his cousin wasn't a member of the pack but she did have rights here...perhaps she had not met this child. She chirped to him and then took his hand, leading him to the house. "I wasn't aware your pathetic former leader allowed hybrids into this pack or the breeding between our species," Abraxas growled out to the...apparently two betas. Abraxas was not keen on a child who didn't know its place shepherding him around but allowed it to take him into the house, grumbling to himself under his breath.

The young werewolf bounced Xiulan on her hip playfully, grinning at the child as her response to her inquiry involved that of just a spit bubble. Adjusting the young babe in her arms, she glanced around before heading off to the kitchen. Silvia was quick to try and navigate to the kitchen, the halls and floors nearly making her footsteps echo as she transition from the healing room to the more stone based kitchen. Silvia flickered her hues around the nicest marbles toned countertop before she flicked her eyes. Juggling herself around the island in the middle of the kitchen, she huffed when she tried to figure out where something quick and easy to snack on could be. “What should we eat today—maybe some....we need to go shopping,” Silvia perked up, the werewolf hadn’t thought much about how the ingredients and food in the fridge would be like after two months of being gone. The pale haired werewolf grinned down at the equally pale haired werewolf before pursing her lips as she eyed the fridge. Closing the fridge, she peaked around the corner, maybe she would go out for a shopping spree—get clothes and have Jaehwa tag along to shop for Xiulan while out.

Silas watched cautiously, observing as Evangeline glanced at Oliver a bit untrustingly, he couldn’t blame her for her wary glance over. Silas would have done something very similar to Evan, he was still hesitant to branch out with his packmates. The moment that he had approached and Evangeline leaned away slightly his brown hues flashed down to the red haired woman before he heard Oliver begin to describe she would have scarring. The brute stayed quiet, head nodding as he examined the medicine Oliver brought with him. The Keeper was skilled from what he was made aware of however, Silas hadn’t experienced needing an injury to be healed that was drastic to need real medical attention. Being brought out of his distracted stupor as he gazed down at Evangeline, he flicked his brown eyes to Oliver as he told him to give her the red vial. Bobbing his head up and down, Silas struck out an ashen and tanned hand to grab it from the Keeper before scrutinizing it with his eyes. Turning to look at Evangeline, he used his hand to quickly undo the vial’s lid before pressing it to her lips as Oliver went to explain she needed to be moved. It smelt odd, the liquid, but before Silas could really dwell on the medicine he scooped his arms underneath Evan, ever so gently in holding her thin frame. “Lead the way,” he nodded his head, “will she be alright?” he suddenly asked, curiosity nagging away at him.

The ashen vampire tilted her head down to Davina before she watched her take off, “Yes, two children—they’ve only been with us for three months now,” she mused, Harper rather keep the actual time out of consideration since it felt like Davina and Nisha were always around. By the time Damion had nudged her side, he was heading in to help with the rest of the pack. Harper would have to remember to find him afterwards, she was sure Damion was thrilled about the crew coming along with Harper back home. “Oh yeah right, but more importantly my moment was first,” she teased the other beta before she turned her attention to a rather surprising statement that had her eyes narrowing upon the alpha at his retort, her face scrunched up briefly, her hazel hues flicking to the brute. She wasn’t aware of any hybrids remaining within the world, not after the prosecution that they had dealt with. Then her face twisted into recognition as she realized he had assumed that Harper and Damion were Davina’s real parents, which just left her to shake her head.

“Yes, well as I’m sure you can tell the difference—there aren’t hybrids within the pack, nor any interbreeding as you suggest,” she retorted, keeping the rest of her comments to herself. She wouldn’t take it to heart, it would be confusing to anyone who just say a vampire and werewolf claim a child as theirs so openly. Turning her gaze upon Khenan and Damion, she avoided the rest of his comment, including the insult and assumption of the relationship with Damion and Harper. Davina would show him how they operated—not like foot shoulders but a family. However, Harper did recount one detail he had mentioned—one that would naturally make Harper snicker in amusement at such a suggestion, but instead of snickering and laughing at the mixup, she considered it. She had truly imagined herself in a relationship with Damion that didn’t include trying to make fun of his beastly appearance—one that was managing to grow on her every now and again.​

​

The female listened to the other alpha with a furrowed brow, her blue hues watching him with a sigh. Adesina pushed herself from the bookshelf with a protesting squeak from the old wooden structure before she moved to the window, her gaze peering out into the evening's light. "This may not be my place to say, Ordan and Achilles, but," a free hand absently rested against her belly before her blue orbs turned to the other alpha's in a rare moment of somberness, "what Eden didn't tell you is that Ezra was the father of a miscarried child." Turning away from the window as the sun peaked through, the female moved into the shaded area near the bookshelf once more. "From what she shared with me, he did not abuse her; he left her out of spite and grief towards the loss of his child. Now, I request from both of you because I know you are hurting due to her decision; please, do try to understand. It's..hard losing a child before having the chance to hold them. I know this from experience," her eyes held a sadness that was never seen typically for the motherly vixen- there was always warmth and affection in her features nearly every waking moment.

Clearing her throat quietly, Adesina lifted a hand to run through her red locks as she nodded, wanting to get off the subject. "If I must, and if you cannot bare to be around the man, I shall go alone, scout out and see how to get inside. It will be dangerous, but they need you here. Besides," stepping forward, she examined his dead eye, "you are still vulnerable. If you wish to accompany him with me, I cannot stop you, just know the risk and how it may affect the pack. Sylvia must stay behind, I want her to watch over the babe and it may be wise to have Jay stay to also protect the house and babe." Her eyes fell onto the letter in his hands and her lips pressed together tightly, the thought of her close friend being hurt angering the vampire.

Evangeline swallowed quietly and managed to retract her fangs with a wince; every movement of her body ached like she was sore, which wasn't typically possible unless her kind didn't feed enough. Watching Oliver with caution, she kept her eyes trained on him until she saw him pull out a vial. Her body tensed as she peered at it suspiciously, wondering what it was and why he was giving it to Silas to administer to her. When she was grabbed by Silas gently and the vial was pressed to her lips, she refused at first when she smelled the contents but when her eyes met Silas' worried ones, she opened her lips begrudgingly to take in the liquid. Once it was all gone, her face scrunched up in disgust and she licked her lips quietly. Soon enough, she found herself being carefully whisked up in Silas' familiar embrace, which she soon leaned against his chest.

Evan's gaze flickered down to his shirt, which was now stained with her blood. "I apologize for ruining your shirt.." She murmured quietly and looked away. Her muscles were beginning to feel a bit more energized and less achy as moments went by; what was that in the vial? Her mind wandered what the possibilities could've been. Maybe a mixture of blood and a drug? Poison? Maybe an edible tranq-type medication?

Davina happily skipped inside, practically dragging the grumbling, grumpy old wolf behind her. Once inside the house, she led him towards the room she had helped prepare for Abraxas. Reaching up with a bit of struggle, she managed to get the door open with her free hand and pushed it open with effort. "Hybrid? Oh! Mommy and daddy aren't my real mommy and daddy, they just.." she put a finger to her little chin and tapped cutely as she thought of the word she was taught for this specific sentence from school, "they just adopted me! That's the word!" The little wolf squealed at her success before leading him inside the room and letting go of his hand. "My real mommy and daddy were..well.." Dav's expression fell into one of sadness for a short moment before she put on a saddened smile and looked up at him. "They were killed by some big bad wolves, the ones who..what was the word..turned me? I'm a wolf, like you.." Going quiet, the little girl stood there before making her way to a chair near the window, her feet kicking mindlessly as her legs hung. "I really miss them sometimes.."

With no hesitation, Silas reaches for the vial in his hand and holds it to the woman huddled against him. Her fangs retract slowly and she makes a face of disgust before she downs the vial and is scooped into the male's arms who speaks to him, Silas giving a dubious glance at the vial before he handed it to her. Reaching forward, the vampire deftly plucks the vial from the woman and turns, lifting it up to his eye as he begins walking without another word to the medical room. Opening the door, he gestures towards one of the beds as he walks off, holding the vial up to the light before setting it into the sink within the infirmary that the Keepers use to wash their hands before medical procedures. "She might have scarring and her state of mind is hard to tell currently. She has obviously been tortured and it's obvious she does not trust me nor will she trust any male for a while...barring yourself possibly," said Oliver without looking at Silas. "She will need patience and time...only time will tell if she heals fully or remains in this state forever of near feralness. I would advise against leaving for now but her hunger will be sated for a while and the pain...the pain of the body at least will be staved for a time."

​

Abraxas purposely stopped, not caring what damage the pup may go through as Harper answered first the soldier by saying they were both their children and then himself, correcting him on the fact that the child was a wolf and there were no illegal relationships within the pack between anyone. "The consequences of doing so are death," spoke Abraxas before continuing to allow the child to pull him into the castle, the child instinctively chatting away like a bloody magpie as it said it was a wolf and that the betas had adopted it, how its parents had been killed by werewolves who had turned the child. The wolf looked down at the pup as it let go of his hand after opening the door and leading him inside, heading over to sit in a chair instead. "Work will take away the pain and time," spoke Abraxas. "You will earn your keep, same as that other wolf child here and the vampire child when it is old enough to begin walking. Idleness does no good nor is it good to dwell on something that is in the past and memories which cannot be changed."

"So...should I turn into a wolf or...." questioned Khenan, happy in either form once Harper and him were alone. He was more used to his wolf form when on the run, one didn't question wolves that acted like wolves, even if they were bigger than normal ones.

Ordan
High Study
​

Both parts of the Custos wolf took note of the fact that Achilles was addressed within the woman's words to them, the woman saying that Eden had suffered a miscarriage before and the male had abandoned her in her time of grief. "What a son of a bitch," snarled Achilles. "Yet she still...cares...for him," he snarled in disgust. "Still chose him when he left her. She is hardly worth his affections...let alone her wolf who has no ties to him."

Ordan was silent as he took in what Adesina said about Eden's condition as it were relating to her past. Frankly, he couldn't understand why she would go back to someone who had abandoned her once and might do so again, should she suffer another miscarriage. "You've suffered the loss of children?" Ordan spoke, seeming to latch onto that rather then Achilles' comments on the Eden and who she chose, though the human side of the alpha couldn't help but agree with Achilles. After what Clover had done, while he had his children, was it not almost the same thing? None of them got to hold their children...even if his were alive and the girls' puppies were gone.

"Of course we don't like..."

"Eden is part of this pack, regardless of who she chose," snarled Ordan. "I cannot understand and have to agree with Achilles...why would she end up choosing someone who might leave her again if she were to suffer another miscarriage and put her through more pain. But then...I don't seem to make the best calls in relationships."

Adesina looked at him, or looked at his dead eye, forcing him to turn his head towards her to see, lowering his hand as he did so, the letter clutched in his hands. She told him he was, in essence, a liability and that it would be dangerous for him to go with her and Ezra, especially if the two males' did not get along with Ezra. "Go if you must...if that wolf had anything to do with Eden's capture or disappearance, kill him. I don't care if you have to rip him apart. Just get her and get back here safely. Much as I want to go with you...."

"I don't."

"...I have things to do...such as investigating this whelp that...that Zumitri adopted and find out where it is." Achilles rumbled in agreement within his chest and head...they also had something else to do.

"Our puppies need to be protected above everything," spoke Achilles, "and pretty wolf mate as well. Besides...pretty wolf's old crush won't let us leave and Sienna is extremely vulnerable." Where before Achilles' voice had been loathing, the wolf really couldn't stand the other male, it changed to worry for its pups...even if they were really Ordan's.

The lean brute had lifted Evangeline up at the behest of Oliver, taking careful note not to jostle her around as he stood. Silas hadn’t ever really remembered courtship being like their’s, oddly enough it was fitting that something happened to deter it to the point that she was injured physically and mentally, but however angry he would get over her pain caused by someone his focus was settled on Evan for now. She had marked his shirt up once he lifted her, however he was not phased by it as his grip tightened slightly, “Don’t apologize, I borrowed it anyways, nothing for me to worry about,” he stated, attempting to be funny but in all seriousness he was truthful. He had taken it out of Larkin’s bag, “but you can make it up to me by getting better—yeah?” his Louisiana drawl picking up as he shifted his brown observing eyes down to Evangeline, he briefly let his usually blank face take on a gentle smile before he let it slip away. He was boiling on the inside, he wanted the people who harmed Evangeline dead. Where would he start? The mayor. Passing laws is one thing, but being a coward when their pack is absent made his eye twitch.

Silas glanced up to Oliver, nodding his head as he trailed after him and inside their home. This would be Evangeline’s first visit, he couldn’t dwell on a tour now that she was injured. Walking after Oliver, the brute found himself in the infirmary, he hadn’t even stepped into this room himself before now. Oliver has already started washing his hands when Silas stepped in, the male waited as Oliver explained how she might have trouble trusting others—and when he said he was the exception he furrowed his brow. Silas was unused to that, usually he was the reason why people were hesitant, but knowing he wasn’t for the first time had the cogs in his head turning ever so slowly. “I’ll stay as long as she needs me,” he informed, he didn’t mind staying, it was probably for the best if either she or Oliver needed his help.

Despite the reply she got in turn, she couldn’t help but merely nod her head—their last alpha never specified that rule, Harper thought it would be obvious as to why she wouldn’t need to—they were far too different. Shaking her head, she turned to Khenan, forcing a smile on her face briefly before nodding, “Go for it, we’ll go over the outter edges of the territory, the Black Hills are easy to navigate after a while,” she informed. “Come on now—don’t hold me back. Get those four legs moving mister!” she teased, trying to regain her earlier stability before she went off with a breeze of the wind. It was nice to be back home, and as the scent of the forest and hills rolled around her, Harper let out a relaxed sigh. Nothing had changed, aside from the lack of their older members. She had hoped to coax many of them back after they left, their numbers had dwindled but they would rise again. Glancing over her shoulder at Khenan expectantly, she tried to disregard Abraxas statement, and to stop worrying about Davina being with him. Davina was a happy ball of joy, and if that were to change Harper didn’t know how she would react—however she knew it would not be in a positive way if her little Davina was wary. Shaking her head, she took off again, getting ready to show Khenan the territory.​

The vixen furrowed her brow as Ordan spoke and was consistently interrupted by Achilles. She gave a soft sigh, her blue haze boring into his changing one. "I don't know why she did, may be due to the fact she's still grieving and wished for comfort." Leaving the subject with that, she rested herself against the desk before fiddling mindlessly with the material of her sleeves. "Yes, I was to bare my ex-husband's child but back in my times, the land was unforgiving; I was malnourished and weak. I ended up..falling and losing my child." Adesina lifted her eyes to his and remained quiet for an moment before murmuring softly. "Do not take your family for granted, it can disappear just like that." With that, the female stood and gently grabbed the paper from Ordan before pulling her phone out and typing in a number. She pressed the phone to her ear and nodded in acknowledgement of his orders. As the phone rang, the female tapped her foot impatiently as the room filled with nothing but the subtle ringing until finally..the male picked up. "Hello, Ezra? This is Adesina.

Evangeline winced lightly as she was gently set down onto a bed. Her eyes snapped towards Oliver, her fangs aching to come out with a hiss but she fought the urge and managed to lean back. She bit her lip as she remained silent, the recent memories playing on repeat in her head. Her nails began digging into her skin and her eyes squeezed shut- she was having flashbacks. A quiet whimper left her lips as she pressed her back against the bed. "I can't go back.." She breathed out, her body beginning to shake.​

"That's fine...if she fights, I can sedate her or you can hold her down. Depending on how she is, I might need to do both," said Oliver with his back still turned towards the pair. Opening a cabinet above the sink he pulled something out and opened it before tossing back the contents, using some water from the sink to swallow whatever he had just taken. Putting the bottle back into the cabinet, he shut the cabinet door before turning around to face the pair, surveying them both. Moving throughout the room, he procured a notebook and a pen to begin taking down observations that he could see of the woman, noting the starved appearance and pale skin, her species and gender, the sunburns on her skin. "Do you know her name and general age thereabouts?" questioned Oliver to Silas. Setting the notebook down, tucking the pen behind his ear, he approached her and took in her appearance. "She's not part of the pack is she? Blake's already....upset as it is," said Oliver.

He took in the woman's other injuries; the cuts on her freckled face which were small enough to heal and not cause issues, the two large gashes across her back, the three across her stomach which were smaller. She was thin, he could see that easily enough without taking her weight. "I need to know what happened and how long you were in the custody of your tormenters," said Oliver. "Both for documentation and for the alpha's benefit so he can decide what is to be done." He listened as the female said she couldn't go back to wherever she had been held and the Keeper hummed to himself as he disappeared into another room, eventually coming back out with a bottle and a jar. "You won't need to feed for a while and the pain will disappear for a little as well...usually it lasts a couple hours. These," here he held up the bottle first, "will work to heal internal bleeding and begin knitting injured organs back together. It's a painful procedure for anyone outside of Rhea and I. The jar..." he held up the jar, "will work on your scarring and sunburns, lessening the scarring. They'll still be there but it will not be as obvious as if you didn't have this...this..."

"Is not as painful as the first one," spoke Rhea from the doorway. She glanced at her brother, for once being serious. "It must be serious for brother to attempt healing you with family medicine..."

"Rhea..." His sister cast her eyes to him and then nodded, walking towards the woman and laying a hand on her.

Khenan heard the comment about turning into a wolf to make it easier to navigate the territory, which was apparently hilly. As Harper left and told him to hurry up and start moving, the male shrugging out of his clothing and shifting into his wolf form. Pacing the area and trying to get used to the new scents, he settled into an easy lope to catch up with Harper as the beta vampire moved off. He wasn't sure how long this would take but it would surely be a while to cover the entire territory.

Abraxas was led into a room on the right side of the first floor, many windows allowing in natural lighting, a hearth against the opposite wall and a couch set against the wall opposite the bed with a coffee table and two chairs making up the seating area. The floors were covered in gray vinyl flooring which would be good if he spilled something in here or ended up punishing someone, the walls and celling being beige wood of some kind. The alpha looked around the room, glad for its large size and privacy, the alpha didn't plan on letting anyone in his new room. He looked down at the drawing handed to him that said 'welcome to the family' and how the child didn't know his name. "Abraxas but you call me alpha like the other pups," he spoke. It had a few wolves and stick figures underneath, perhaps the best a child could do when drawing. The child's face fell as he spoke to her about her duty now within the pack and she spoke about how sometimes one person could end up helping. "You can show that other child how to do things...it's probably wild and needs to be taught authority and obedience." The child then left, Abraxas not paying it much mind as the door shut behind her and he dropped the picture on the coffee table as he passed.
"Perhaps," he spoke into the silence.

Ordan
High Study to Hidden Rooms in Alpha Room
​

"It seems you women have lost quite a bit," said Ordan as Adesina spoke about being careful not to take his family for granted.

"Does she think we will let our pups go now that we have them? If so, she's delusional and..."

"She is reminding us not to take life for granted and that our family can be used against us," spoke Ordan. "I don't expect you to have children...that's impossible with you being attracted to Silvia, but she is allowed to move into the alpha room...as is Jaehwa come to think of it," he said. He supposed he would need to see to the nursery during his time here and move Jaehwa's things to the alpha room which was certainly big enough. As she took the letter from him and then dialed a number, he listened absently as she spoke to Ezra. How she had Ezra's number or if Eden had a phone that Ezra had taken, was unknown to him. The alpha excused himself and disappeared, heading up to the central tower where the nursery/sleeping quarters were for the secretaries, the concubines and alphas. The betas did not sleep in the central tower, they slept within the small tower to the far left of the house but their room extended towards the room at the opposite end of the hallway with an attached bathroom. As did the alpha room, concubine room and secretary room which was underneath the nursery. Heading through the door to the tower, he headed upwards, shutting the door behind him and headed into the hidden room behind the bookcase before letting it fall shut behind him, the alpha putting his head in his hands. "I will not force my children to remain with me but I will not force them to leave if they wish to stay," spoke Ordan. "I will do my best to protect them, as much as I am able to do so. I just don't know what we are going to do about the hidden floor underneath the hospital that is being built or how we will find a cure for the pack so they can go and live their lives."

Achilles whined and he growled. "What?"

"Note," spoke Achilles, gesturing with a hand towards the second door where a sticky note was taped to it. The alpha frowned, ignoring it in favor of his phone and pulled up Zumitri's number. The alpha then looked at the last message and then typed something in response.

Zumitri

them

Are you still alive whelp? If so, my pack is back in Ithawell and if you require assistance, you may text me. There's no guarantee I will answer though right away.

Pressing send, Ordan turned towards the note and set his phone down, getting to his feet and walking towards the second door where he saw a hastily scrawled message from Zumitri. The alpha stilled at seeing it, assuming it must have been written before his friend had been killed, probably during one of the days he had been checking the house. "Not your fault. Didn't know Zumitri would die," spoke Achilles, sensing his human's sadness and grief hit again.

Ordan said nothing but read the hastily scrawled note. He would need to figure out things about the hidden floor of the hospital that was in the middle of construction as well as who he could trust to help with testing him with a cure and getting things needed. It turned out Zumitri had foreseen ahead, at least in terms of the testing.

Ordan, I've set aside a few vials of liquid silver and wolfsbane as well as silver dust in my office and there are a couple dosages of wolfsbane liquid silver in the second hidden room in the place where you like watching the dungeons with the cameras in there. I've made notes and instructions...yes I know you know how to make a torquent and on how to administer it and no, you won't need to worry about that omega you fuss over or the others in your pack finding out about it. I would advise being careful of the dosage, with not testing you since you left, I don't want to have to worry about you killing yourself accidently but the dosage should be okay to increase 20 ml. Sadly I've been unfortunate in getting any pure blood, be it werewolf or vampire. I've done some investigating and it seems Boreal and Lichen ended up leaving around the same time you did. Let me know if you need anything...I said I would stay by you and even though I think you're leaning towards not taking it, I can still help you and will stick by you. Do try not to get yourself in trouble in my absence. Zumitri

"Ordan are you alright?" questioned Achilles.

"Don't get myself in trouble he writes," spoke Ordan. "I'm half blind and any new male werewolves might see that as a liability, resulting in a fight for leadership. "He doesn't even know Clover showed up and told me about being a father or about me being a godfather...or the 'little omega' I fuss over being my mate."

"He would be here if he could Ordan."

"I know...I know..."

Basilia/Akachi
Library
​

"Basilia," spoke Akachi, the shadow coming towards his former charge and mistress.

"Akachi. How goes the business?"

"Good," said Akachi. "I've hired a vaewolf as an employee and the building is refurbished as are the animatronics. Your suggestion for a dinosaur plushie grabber was put in as well as one having plushies of the animatronics. They are programmed still to not attack members of the Blood Order but will attack ex-members who might be alive, customers and others. So far the laws are being held with favor with the town. Rumor has it there are some rogue groups popping up and doing business"

"Good," said Basilia, glancing over to Malachi where the infant was playing with some other infants while story time was going on.

"Acolytes have reported the arrival of the packs...they've returned to Ithawell. I figured you hadn't heard it so called HQ and found out you and Malachi were here. I decided to come and give you the news.. IT seems Boreal's alpha ran away again and they have a new one but no confirmation to that rumor."

"Wonderful," said Basilia with a cruel smile that marred her otherwise beautiful features. "See if you can get in contact with these rogues Akachi."

"Of course," said Akachi. He listened as his mistress told him of a doctor appointment and to watch Malachi while she was at the hospital. He nodded and said he would take Malachi to the corporation in the meantime. She got up and kissed the boy before leaving the library, Akachi picking up the infant and heading out to his car.

Ezra H. Hastings
Location: N/A
Interaction: Adesina Eliruz

The male had his hands in his hair, worry etched into his features as his eyes scanned over the paper, he had left early from the pack before he would join them when it happened. Ezra was opening the door when he saw the place ransacked—his memory might be awful but he certainly did not remember leaving it like that. He had crept in slowly, trying to figure out if anyone had been inside when humans had tried to grab him. Ezra didn’t exactly know what happened, just that he was tossed into a car before he shifted—that was also a major problem to the point he was cramped in that van. He had no qualms with shifting, but what he wanted to do the most was get his memories back, so when he shifted he had dispatched the dognappers rather quickly. Ezra had gathered information while they attempted to kidnap him, what he found were documents, and their gossip. Nevertheless, Ezra gained their phones, hit list, some recites, IDs and some concerning information about Eden. They had thought he was knocked out and just through him in the back, they were a bunch of chatter boxes, going on about how they caught another one—that one sounding like Eden.

The brute sighed, his eyes drifting from the addresses he had gotten to his phone as it buzzed loudly. His green eyes glanced back to the scattered papers before picking his phone up and answering. His body quickly stood as he gathered his things, shuffling papers together and piling other items into a box quickly. “Adesina! I can be there at dawn—I just need to wrap things up here. I have all the information needed if you can’t act without cause,” Ezra was hesitant for the fact that the recovery of Eden might not be of importance to the alphas, his worry keeping him from reaching out until sending that letter. He also knew that those people were from Ithawel, the town in which they lived in. He would refrain from telling them about what happened to his capturers’ end, just that he swiped their IDs if they got curious. Ezra was aware that killing humans wasn’t exactly a welcomed thing within the pack and was not about to express it to them. “I’ll get my things and go to the airport now,” he confirmed, his wolf chiding on about how guilty he will feel—taking the time out of his inner pacing and worrying over Eden to joke for but a second.

Silas R. Landon
Location: Lichen Medical Room
Interaction: Oliver and Rhea scorpiodragon , Evangeline Eliruz

The brute didn’t leave her side as she settled onto a bed, he wasn’t touching her but he was hovering nearby, brown eyes flashing up to watch Oliver as the male vampire began to explain some of the medicine and ask questions. “Evangeline Micaelson—possibly around ten decades, I never asked her about her age,” he informed. He spoke of how one medicine was to heal inside wounds, the internals one being painful to heal—but Silas briefly heard Evangeline mention not wanting to go back. The brute placed his hand in her own, thumb tracing over her knuckles in brief reassurance to her staying there with them. Silas brought his attention back to Oliver before nodding his head in understanding. However the brief moment was disturbed with Rhea entering the room, the male giving her attention only when she approach and said that the wounds must have been bad to be treated like that. Silas ignored the comment, he didn’t care how Evangeline was healed, just as long as he knew she would be. His hand still held her’s gently, brown eyes focused on Evan. “You’ll be safe here—I’m sure Blake will understand,” he proposed, though he was concerned with how Blake would handle the situation. He was not close with the alpha, but Silas was sure that with this newfound information of humans taking their kind Blake would be more understanding. Maybe even use the information from Evangeline to encourage hunting them down specifically.

Harper C. Miller
Location: Boreal Territory
Interaction: Khenan scorpiodragon

The vampire had been off at a quick running pace, her eyes taking in the sights of her home. It would take hours to cross the entire expansion of the territory—even for someone of her speed. Harper couldn’t help but take in the scenery though, her hazel eyes stopping on every piece of fallen log or rocky exterior. The ashen and tanned vampire was having the time of her life briefly, trying to remember where certain places were from memory. Harper glanced back, watching as Khenan adjusted to the new scents, maybe they would shorten their tour into parts. She would show him the important landmarks near the borders that could prove problematic so he would be aware of those places. Harper could always show him another time the back most part of the land. She also knew wolves had to sleep, vampires didn’t.​

Adesina
High Study to Downstairs
Interactions/Mentions: Ezra Shaded Eden Eliruz Sylvia Shaded
​

Adesina gripped her phone tightly, until he finally answered. Relief washed over her and she sucked in an unneeded breath of cool air. She began pacing as he spoke, as if rushed but excited. "I will arrange to pick you up; you will be coming back to Custos territory, and I suggest you bring that evidence so we don't storm the wrong place." After a few moments of silence, she added, "We will get her back, no matter the cost. She is family." Gathering up the note he sent, the alpha quickly made her way out of the High Study and downstairs, her blue gaze sharpened with anger and mixed emotions. "Alright, I'll be there as soon as you land; also," the female allowed a firmer, more vile voice to show, "If you were apart of her kidnapping, I will have no choice, but to kill you. I forewarn you now." With that, she hung up the phone and pocketed it. She moved into the kitchen to find Silvia with the babe in her arms while she was rummaging around to check food. Moving up behind her, the female slid an arm around her waist, tugging her gently against her. "Hey darling, I just wanted to tell you I'm going to be gone at dawn for a few hours," pressing her lips to Silvia's neck, she moved her, her cool breath fanning against her cheek as she spoke once more, "I need you to be ready in the medical room; we're getting Eden back, though I am a bit unenthused to say, it will be only Ezra and I. I need Ordan, Jae, and you to watch over the house; besides, Ordan is in no shape to fight, whether he wants to believe he is or not. And, Jae needs to stay with the babe while you prepare for even the worst of injuries." Her blue eyes held worry, but when she looked down at Silvia and the babe, she smiled warmly.

Evangeline
Infirmary
Interactions/Mentions: Silas Shaded Oliver/Rhea scorpiodragon
​

Evangeline opened her eyes that were teary, but she kept herself from crying- she needed to remain strong to get better, to get over whatever was happening to her. The gentle touch upon her hand snapped her out of her darkening thoughts and brought her into a more..normal state, causing her to lift her eyes to Oliver's as he shuffled around the room. She seemed less feral as the liquid in the vial taken earlier that day had helped to ebb her feral side for a good amount of time; she almost seemed like her old self. "I'm 111 years old, and yes, my name is..Evangeline Mikaelson." She managed to get out, her face scrunching with effort, as if her mind was in a foggy haze. Her grip on Silas' hand tightened when Oliver asked about how long her torture was held and who her tormentors were. "I was tortured for..I think two months," the vampire involuntarily inhaled sharply, "and they were humans. I couldn't tell you their exact names, but I could possibly show you the camp.." As those last sentences left her lips, there was an obvious strain towards her offer; she couldn't mentally handle going back there at this point but maybe..she could describe the direction of the camp? "It's..It's east of here, about five miles. It's near another packs' territory but almost equal distance from theirs, just like yours. They have a building that leads underground..they have..they have many of our kind and others chained and being tortured as I was.." Tears filled her eyes, to which she quickly dashed away with a trembling hand. That's when she heard Oliver speaking about the medicine he was going to use for her internal bleeding and the other that would be used for her external wounds. She nodded slowly and looked at the newcomer, who seemed to be somehow related to the medic. When she moved forward and pressed a hand against the smaller female, she looked at Silas with frightened eyes but said nothing, her hand tightening around his once more.

Elwin
Lichen Territory
Interactions/Mentions: Laz, Nomvula, Vlad scorpiodragon Blake Kipsy
​

The young vaewolf had been chained in a room inside the asylum, her whines and cries for her pack echoing off of the walls around her. Even her wolf was whining and whimpering for her pack. "I want mom and Laz and Vlad..I hope they come soon.."

"Mom always comes..or atleast Laz does. These people will pay.."

"Can I take a bite out of the big, mean one they call Blake?"

"No, you can't! That's bad, we can't be like these people!"

"I mean..we eat hum.."

"I get it!"

The small girl had now grown faster than most children of her kind. She had gained a few inches in height and her hair needed trimmed, due to her bangs now hanging in her face. With the specialized muzzle around her face, she couldn't eat properly, there were a few instances where she ended up getting loose and taking down a blood servant which turned into..well..a bloody mess with little left besides remnants of clothing. There was dried blood on her last dress, but luckily, the other terrified servants managed to change her when she was sedated. It seemed they couldn't handle the young girl unless put under for a short amount of time, but even then, she would wake up occasionally and try to attack to protect herself. Her blue hues shifted to gold when she smelled the fresh blood of a female vampire. A snarl left her lips and she began yanking on the chains that burned her wrists. Her wolf tried to get out, but it was no use; the medicine they'd pumped into her kept her in such a weak state now, that she couldn't shift at all.

 

[scorpiodragon]

Lazarus/Vlad
Celestial Order Headquarters
​

Lazarus had been sent ahead to investigate the old location of the headquarters of the Celestial Order, the dhamphir cousin disheartened and feeling for Nomvula whose child had been kidnapped after finding her. It was hard to say where the child was but that only made Nomvula more determined to side with the Celestial Order...something or someone had stolen her child, whether it be blood bag, leech or mutt. He scoped it out as a bat over a few nights as well as keeping watch for anyone moving around the area. Through infiltrations into the library and listening in on what conversations he could pick up as a bat, he had learned some things, most notably that their opposition was strong and still in existence. He had fed when he could, mostly on animals, but had gotten human blood a day ago thanks to a human with weapons walking around the forest...a little hypnosis, a little manipulating the weather to confuse the prey, tracking it with infrared perception, and he'd had a good meal. The human ought to be glad it wasn't the master who had found it. Vlad had the tendency to...torture and strangle his victims slowly while feeding from them or just for sheer amusement.

The Deputy of the Celestial Order was hanging from a tree, his body still but his spirit elsewhere. The dhamphir was currently surfing the astral plane, a risky ability that could lead to possession or death if he was killed, trapping his spirit until he found another body. He stopped eventually, appearing before Vlad who was preoccupied and coughed to let the vawolf know he was there. "Lazarus...news?"

"Things are quiet but the Blood Order is as active as ever and there seems to be rogue humans running about. From what I've been able to discern, they act on their own cognizance and have no ties to the packs or the Blood Order."

"Elwin?"

"No sign or scent of her but headquarters is just as it was left years ago. If not a bit dusty and needing a good cleaning. Hunting is risky with these humans...and the packs being back in town."

"Oh? You mean all of them or just the purebloods?"

"All three accounted for from what I've been able to track."

"Nomvula will be disappointed," mused Vlad and Lazarus saw and heard the snap of the woman's arm, a muffled scream coming from her. "So it is safe to come?"

"Yes. I'll get things squared away here with cleaning and setting traps."

"Good...we'll be there soon. And Lazarus..."

The dhamphir tilted his head as he began fading. "Sir?"

"Make sure the place is stocked." Lazarus nodded as he let his aura fade and a few minutes later appeared back within his body, the bat exhaling. Vladimir sat up and studied the bound woman, tilting his head at her before calling for the rest of the Celestial Order, telling them to be prepared to head to headquarters.

Oliver/Rhea
Medical Room
​

"Rhea...find what you can but be gentle."

"Yes, father nearly took my head off when I was not gentle wit..." Her brother reached out and backhanded her, his eyes turning crimson as he glared at her, sending the female stumbling backwards from both Silas and Evanlangine as Oliver then turned an ear towards Silas at hearing the woman's name and potential age.

"Good luck with that," said Oliver when Silas mentioned speaking to Blake, the Keeper even not aware of how the alpha would take the helping of a rogue. After handing the bottle to Evangeline, he picked up his notebook and pen, writing down her name, the woman speaking up of her age for him which he wrote down. The siblings listened as Rhea came forward and shifted her hands into claws. "Rhea is going to take your memories of the incident of your kidnapping," Oliver spoke with a growl, a growl which was directed at his sister, "as well as try to calm you down with the empathy her kind inherits." His sister nodded and plunged her nails into the woman's nape of her neck, searching for the memories of the woman's kidnapping and the past few months while placing the back of her hand on the vampire's neck and projecting calm and safety into the other female. Oliver wrote down the information that Evangeline spoke of, his face twisting into a frown as he heard this information and glanced at his sister. Setting the notebook and pen down once more, he left and rummaged in the cabinet, pulling out a pill bottle which was tossed to Rhea, the woman opening it with her free hand and downing a few pills of her own.

"This next part will sting a bit...but it's not as bad as the medicine for the internal injuries," said Oliver. "Rhea...I need you to stay...she might need a pelvic exam to be on the safe side. Or Silas can put the salve on...it won't have any adverse effects on him."

His sister glanced at him but didn't say anything as she took in the memories.

Khenan
Boreal Territory
​

The wolf continued following at an easy lope, taking note of the scenery and how...hilly it was. It was interesting...it would give Abha a chance to run and stretch her legs as well as himself and Geisha, assuming his sister was allowed out of the castle at all. "Quite....up and down movement..." Khenan hedged out, not sure if the pack bond had time to form a telepathic connection. "It is...different from where we come from."

Ordan
Second hidden room in tower
​

The alpha huffed as he headed into the second room, taking the note with him and finding himself within a room filled with cameras against one wall and over to a hidden paneling. Putting his hand on the wall and pressing in slightly it opened to reveal a hidden passage, the alpha slipping into it and making his way down the narrow and dark staircase, until he found what he was looking for. Ordan tapped a brick and an archway appeared which he ducked into and headed through until he found a box. Grabbing it, he opened it up and pulled out an already prepared dosage of liquid silver-wolfsbane mixture along with a syringe. Placing the needle against the bottle's cap, he drew the serum into the syringe and then held it between his teeth as he rolled the right sleeve of his shirt before tying off his arm, grabbing Zumitri's instructions and finding keys to the man's office at the hospital. He increased the dosage as Zumitri had said in his note by 20 ml and then slid the needle into an exposed vein.
