Nikolaus
​

Listening as Miley said that she had been forced to leave and had no choice in the matter, Niko frowned but nodded. "Rumor has it they eat snails over there," Niko said. He watched as she seemed to relish in the hamburger. At least now he knew where she was and with all the food on the plate, making her look like she hadn't eaten in ages, at least he was doing his job for her and the pups by making sure they ate. Nikolaus couldn't really tell that she wasn't pregnant anymore and there was no reason for all the food. Though at hearing that she wouldn't be leaving again and was hopefully back to stay did give the loner some comfort. "Well that's good. Food's courtesy of the barbecue my family's having...though I can't take credit for anything but the meats," said Niko.

Gabriel
​

Gabriel was relatively silent until their order had been brought and Zayne said her suggestion was fine with him. "It depends on what food I can keep down," Gabriel said as she placed her spoon into her ice cream and dug into it, lifting it to her mouth and savoring the mix of flavors and the crunch of the sugar cones in her mouth. Though the woman seemed to have an easier time of her pregnancy compared to Angelica...as for Eliza and Amanda, observation at meals showed that they didn't seem to be having any issues at all with their own pregnancies and morning sickness either which was another thing that the alpha female wondered about. Pushing that aside, she knew all pregnancies to be different after all, Gabriel thought over the food she could eat.

"I can stomach fried chicken and berries...maybe some mac n cheese if we can find it already cooked, corn shouldn't be that difficult to cook over a fire or in the coals," said Gabriel. "I was thinking of how you seemed to be immensely proud and preening the first morning after I let you stay with me," she said. That had brought some questions which Gabriel had put down by saying it was none of the pack's concern what the woman did in the privacy of her room. Once Zayne became alpha and she wasn't entirely sure when that would be but figured it would be soon by how close the couple had gotten, he was aware that he could move into her room permanently. It just made obvious sense.

"So, what is your first duty you're going to do when you become alpha male?" Gabriel questioned curiously, not having spoken about it much. She did her best to ignore her wolf who was growing somewhat impatient to mark the male across from them, Gabriel, however, had wanted to take things slow and fight her wolf nearly every step of the way until now. She wasn't entirely certain what Zayne thought of her or his own wolf in terms of the woman and likewise her wolf as being acceptable mate material though Gabriel could see herself spending the rest of her life wieth the male across from her, as she had seen with Riley. Though she knew if he didn't consider that way and did bite the male, the mating mark would not work and there would be no bond forming between them...plus she didn't want to scare the male off. Though they had been growing steadily closer even without becoming mates...doing so would make it official. Comet

Axel smil d as sedisticslly as possible. “I did not bite you because you were or werent a wolf already, I did it because if you want to join Winslow our alpha is pretty nutorious for biting and harming females however if you were my mate you might get treated a little differently. Biting you is a way I can safeguard you.” He bent to her and turned her chin up.

“If you are serious. If you really are serious about joining you have a wound I can tell the alpha I tried to kill you? And if you wanted to join I could let you.....” he dropped down now and smiled at her. “I could make this worth your while. It’s not much but I have a nice room and anyone who tried to hurt you. I will murder. The reason I don’t leave this pack is because my parents abandoned me here. I found them and I killed them. They deserved it. Right there what he just told her was than then anyone knew about him. He was always this ominous character that no one understood waking up skulking around all day after his duties cleaning up after their messes because he felt he should.

He knew it was dangerous but he also knew that he could protect her. He would. Should she be willing to accept. It wasn’t the life he’d want for his mate. But he owed his alpha everything. Including his own life. In any respect he liked the girl sort of. Maybe his bite would turn into a link of some sort like he’d seen others do. Maybe he could play it off like he lost the fight. Whatever the case was he was certainly running out of time for anyone could smell her blood. They would have to make this fight look real. “Decide quickly,” he said standing up. “Decide now. Because if you don’t I’ll have to throw you into the river over there and though it will not kill you you won’t like it much.”

He tried to hide his resentment and clenched his fists tightly without saying anything. He couldn’t trust himself to say anything for fear he’d cross over a line that he wouldn’t be able to cross back onto. So. Instead of opening his mouth to order.

“I wanted to know if you would be my girlfriend,” he said as straight forward as he could manage. Half of it he wanted to say just to piss of his smug face flirting with someone he wanted to consider his girl. He would go to the ends of the earth for her and bring back proof of his conquest. He sat up now, ordered his sandwich a calamari steak sandwich and smiled. Now all he had to do was wait. Emma looked up widely at him as his heart rate increased and his body temperature rose. She mewled at him as of he was hurt, her concern though genuine was quailed with a soft gental face rub from the boy.

He knew he would feel like a century had passed waiting for her to respond. Every second that ticked by his fear rose a little more. He waited to be shot down which was what he expected from the girl who always put her son first as any mother should. He never wanted to own her or use her but it would make things extra special if he could at least pretend that for one second it would work between them. He let out a heavy sigh and watched her every movement. In wait

[WolfOfProphecys]

Astaroth 'Ash' Smallclaw - Omega - Haven Pack
Ash stayed as far away from the humans as she could, cowering back with her ears flattened and tail tucked between her legs in fear even as Amora approached the old woman. It relieved her when the woman didn't harm Amora, and Ash warily followed her mate. Why was she leading her to a human home? She shivered, hoping they weren't really in danger, and pressed herself right up against Amora's side, terrified of whomever might come out of that door. Oh, how she wished she'd convinced Amora to stay back at the pack house instead.

Astiel Stormchaser - Warrior - Haven Pack
Holding the blankets like a lifeline, the other peered at her, then shuffled over. He set the blankets down beside her, then settled with her himself, creeping into her arms and holding her. He knew the humans would be gone soon, but he just wished it would be sooner. Not only was it making him anxious, but his pregnant mate wasn't as comfortable. Which annoyed him. There was no point in complaining to anyone though, no one except Eliza listened to him. Well... Maybe Suzu would listen to his opinions, but he didn't want to bother her with his issues. She had the pack to look after. Just as Eliza had the pups, and shouldn't have to worry about her mate also.

Styx Kagore - Beta - Winslow Pack
Styx grinned at her, allowing her to step back even when he sorely missed her presence in his arms. He hummed at her softly, frowning as she mentioned a loner, "There seem to be a lot of loners lately." He commented, poking her on the nose, "Not all of them are as good as you toward packs... but if this one went over to Haven then it's their problem now. Not ours." He rumbled, "We'll tell Bella though. She'll want to know, and I don't particularly want to get in a fight with our pregnant Alpha if she finds out she wasn't told." He joked.

THANA
"Not Lonel, idiot. My name is Thana. I am a loner, which means I am not part of any frugal pack the world has to offer." She raised a brow at the child's lack of tooth and apparently common sense, dipping her feet into the water. Bruises lined her arms, as if someone had taken a belt to her, red welts making her wince.

TOR
Smiled, scrunching up her nose at his touch, absolutely estatic. A wind blew, and a lone leaf floated down, landing in Styx's hair. Tor chuckled, reaching up- she had to stand on her toes- and removed the leaf. Her hand slid down and rested on his cheek, index finger on his jawline. Her blue eyes sparkled like an ocean, glittering in the sun. She didn't want to move her hand, rather, she rested her other hand on his shoulder, not knowing what she was doing. She felt this intense connection, and looked at him with an intensity. What was this? What did he want? what did she want?

Briana

Ryoko Lee

Briana was carrying moose, that she had killed only couple minutes ago and walked to river nearly. She saw other side of river small girl and woman, not really caring about them, even if they smell like wolfs. She was just thirsty, she dropped moose and turned to wolfs, so drinking water would be easier.

"Look othel wolf!" Girl yelled and waved to Briana.​

 

[Ryoko Lee]

Thana turned, eyes glowing with curiosity. She felt strangely hungry, and a growl sounded. The smell of a kill entered her nostrils and she pushed the girl back, as if to protect her from herself. Within moments she had shifted, not caring about her clothes that were ripped to shreds, and she ran forward, snarling. She leapt over the elk and splashed into the water, flashing her fangs in a dominant display. She conveyed she wanted the moose with her body language.

William "Bill" Cohen-Haven
​

Bill had been in France now for some months now. The only child of Riley and Gabriel, as well as heir to the Cohen House seat and the last living relative of the Cohen House had a hard time adjusting to being away from his mother. Given she was his only parental figure and had never been away from her before, this was to be expected, however his nana didn't seem all that impressed by his pining for the woman that was her daughter. Bill had met his grandparents of course and an uncle who lived at the headquarters of the council, having suffered through his sixth birthday which had brought on his first transformation. Without Dedushka's help, the child might have been in worse shape and suffered a lot worse or even died from the pain. Dedushka was nice and nana not so much but both expressed on the child loyalty to the council and the old ways of werewolves of which the child was being trained alongside his uncle David and another wolf named Rome who apparently was Az's father.

The child was somewhat scared of the other wolves whenever he had to go to the big meeting room where they sat sternly upon chairs that resembled what one might find among royalty...nana explaining that to their kind, the Council were royalty in a way. Dedushka explained that the entitlement was the Russian word for grandfather, explaining to the six-year-old that he was half Russian and half French Canadian through his grandmother's side of the family. But talking of going back home to Clover Hills seemed to upset quite a few of the scary wolves in the council as well as his grandparents. The child hadn't understood either while Mia who was apparently not the wolf's name had betrayed mama but as he wasn't allowed near a phone, not that he knew how to use a phone in the first place, or allowed to contact mama at all. As it was, the child was currently with his grandfather as they studied the birds used for messages, Klinge being a stern man but apparently respected as one of the oldest members of the council, yet also patient when it came to his young heir and the last of his house. With the old wolf's help, the child had slowly lessened his grief towards being away from his mother though the council had seemed interested in the fact that Gabriel was pregnant again, even Uncle David was surprised that his little sister was pregnant and had questioned the child. Of course, with Bill not knowing what the difference was between pureblood and halfblood or having met the man, he couldn't give any information but Mia or Miley as he now knew her, had informed the council and given a satisfactory answer. But she was gone and the child was all alone, having to grow used to being around strangers.

Caspian
​

Neither of the Hendrix siblings were aware Fern had gone missing. Pariah spent her time helping her brother hunt when needed and doing nothing for the pack of which the siblings had joined otherwise in terms of medical help as well as watching her adopted nephew and niece. The siblings pulled their weight and that was enough in their mind, even if they weren't doing their excellent skills or the ranks Caspian had asked for. Still, the family wasn't here to be making friends, mates or allies with anyone in Winslow. They were just bored and sick of traveling...and trying to escape whoever had started that fire that had killed their parents.

The siblings stuck to themselves and didn't interact much with the pack at large, not much of a pack in either wolf's mind given the mass deaths this weakling pack had experienced and the betrayal of their cousin. Thus they were unaware of the fact that Fern was a member of their family or their cousin Yaz was looking to kill the child, nor that their female cousin had ended up being killed by her brother. Caspian was off hunting, had been hunting since dawn though what the wolf was looking for was uncertain. He'd left his sister at the pack house with his pups as they were too young to be going anywhere on their own, let alone keep up with their father and aunt when traveling, hence why Caspian had spent all his time carrying them on his back or he and Pariah switching who carried which pup in their mouths. Unknowingly the kids would inherit the Hendrix curse by being adopted as well as their brutality...and Matthew's penchant for knives.

Caspian slowed as he caught the scent of a deer and turned his head towards it, sniffing the air. Fawns were gradually growing and getting bigger though still stuck by their mothers' due to their small size and vulnerability to predators. Shrugging, the wolf rushed towards the deer and jumped onto its back, snapping his teeth onto the animal's neck as it bucked and tried to throw the wolf off it. Caspian just bit down on the animal's neck and ended its pitiful excuse of a life, dropping it to the ground. Licking his lips, the wolf shifted back and began gutting and dressing the animal to take the meat back to the pack house which unfortunately he would need to put away as the pack's omegas had died off though he wondered how many had really just committed suicide and it was covered up. Seemed like the kind of thing that would happen in this pack...no wonder Matthew had left. Speaking of Matthew...he would have to track his older cousin down as well. He couldn't say what had happened to Katrina but he knew Rigel was still at Aunt Jasmine's house.

As he arrived back at the house with the deer meat packed up in the fur, Caspian have shaped the skin into bags to carry the meat better, the dominant warrior rolled his eyes at the display the betas put on for anyone to see. Approaching the house, Soul ran up to him, barking and running around and between his legs in excitement. Caspian looked down at the pup and opened a bag before dropping the deer's heart in front of the pup and Soul immediately attacked it, splashing blood all over his face. Smirking down at his son, Soul was informed to play nicely with his sister with the heart and closed the bag once more which held the animal's organs before heading towards the house and into the kitchen. Ignoring the child guard before him, he opened the fridge and exchanged the bags of wrapped meat for a Millers Light and shut the fridge door before opening his drink and heading back outside. Soul was still tugging at the deer's heart and Caspian picked up both pup and heart before carrying them back to his sister, setting Soul down and the heart between the two pups that started a bloody tug of war. Neither Hendrix sibling seemed bothered by the mess the children were making on themselves or the grass...rain would wash the blood on the grass away and they could easily be dunked in the river until the blood washed off or left outside to be rained on.

Briana

Ryoko Lee

Briana stared angrily to woman who had leaped to HER kill. She switftly turned to her tundra wolf form and leaped with her strength to older wolf, pushing her away from elk. Briana let out low growl and showed her teeth. Briana wasn't letting older wolf to take her kill. She had tracked it and killed it alone. There wasn't any way that she was going to her take it. She might look like underage even at wolf form, but she was lot stronger than what she looked, even her first push to older wolf was going to leave nasty bruise to where she hit.​

 

[Cosmos]

Amora-
Amora continued to wait at the door for a while before huffing loudly, getting bored and whimpering loudly, she could smell the small pup but the mother wasn't home it seemed and without her she wasn't allowed inside, pressing her muzzle to the ground she began to sniff along the scent trail of the woman, beginning to wander vaguely again through the neighbourhood, looking up every few moments carefully to always reassure herself that Ash was by her side, licking her face once when seeing her mate was stressed.

Michi-
Michi eventually let out a small sigh, she'd noticed Mathew's cousin briefly enter and leave, tensing and acting polite as she arrived, watching the twins she'd brought along in slight fear as they tore apart the meat, sure her own pups were in wolf form and dominants, but they at least still ate like normal wolves rather than savages. She continued to remain in the spot nervously for a few moments before slowly creeping forwards to the veranda, glancing curiously as she watched Styx talk with that girl that had been around lately, she thought it cute the tough guy was developing such a sweet relation with her, especially as a pull away from Amelia since the illness struck-…. Michi was about to turn away quietly before stumbling in a pile of water, falling down and hitting against the floor and a bucket with mop for cleaning up the spills, a loud crash echoing briefly throughout the house and just outside, hissing under her breath in soreness.

THANA
She didn't care what powers this wolf had, Thana had massive crushing power in her jaws and a limberness in her limbs from years of running from police officers. Not only this, she could manipulate what her foe saw.
She was a well scarred wolf, as was her mind, but this made her ruthless in her attacks. She charged, jaws outstretched, and suddenly, everything changed.

The woods vanished. It was replaced by a beach, perfected by Thana's memories. Perhaps this would confuse her, but for good measure, two more wolves appeared, nearly identical to Thana. They all snarled in unison, eyes blazing.

TOR
"What was that?" She asked, eyes flashing. Something had fallen. Tor leapt up the stairs and ran up, opening the door and slamming it shut. She looked down, raising a brow.
"Oh, Michi... Are you okay?"

 

[Cosmos]

Michi-
The female has a face covered in floor water and hair a mess over her face, "Y-.… Yeah- fine…." she whispered in a timid manner, slowly pulling herself up with a light wince and leaning back against the door in a sitting position, slightly flustered, between having cared for numerous sick pups until they sadly passed away, helped with Artemis' pregnancy, control her own dominant wolf form pups and keeping Fern out of trouble the girl was just about falling apart, she was rather small in the first place and her mind rabid with thoughts of mating due to her heat being in full swing certainly wasn't helping, blowing a strand of hair from her face she tucked the orange lock behind her ear, both blue eyes one with it's half green hue stared up curiously as to why the other came to check on her just then- argh, she was sounding just as negative as Artemis could be, she had to cheer up!

Ryoko Lee

 

[Ryoko Lee]

"Here, let me help." She said, a tenderness in her eyes that wasn't often there. Styx was softening her heart, but her battle skills were as sharp as ever. Tor reached out and helped the smaller girl up, marveling at her lack of coordination. And, she was so easy to read- it was as if she had no guards up, whatsoever. Tor then smiled once more, thinking about the pups. She wanted that too, but... She only wanted Styx, and she had no idea where she stood in his eyes. Her cheeks hinted with color and she focused on the task at hand, grabbing a towel to sop up the mess.

 

[Cosmos]

Michi-
The female blushed a little at the help and gave a timid laugh before quickly grabbing her own towel and beginning to wipe it up as well, "Argh- it must've been those twins earlier when they spilled the water~…." she mumbled under her breath with an awkward small smile and sigh, once finished she slapped her cheeks a little as though trying to get her thoughts on track, "I- Don't believe we ever actually met for real, I mean- we know each others names an stuff an I think you're really cool an strong and stuff but like- I- um!?" she stuttered out in a mess of words, she really wasn't great with new people.

[Cosmos]

Michi-
The female blushed a little.

 

[Ryoko Lee]

"Calm down, calm down. You're not an omega anymore, you have earned my respect." She said softly but sternly. Perhaps this girl still had yet to adjust, and needed a stronger Beta presence to make her focus. So young, so innocent, so easily scared. She was crouching now, and reached out with the towel and wiped her face, smiling warmly.

"I usually don't seem this nice, do I? I happen to be in a good mood today."

 

[scorpiodragon]

Pariah/Caspian​

"Brother should we investigate the crash?"

"Depends. Who was in the kitchen when you fed the kids?"

"That child that Matthew hates."

"Don't bother," said Caspian. He looked down at Soul and Ophelia who were still tugging at the deer's heart before sipping at the alcohol. "If Matthew thinks she's useless then there's no reason to bother with her."

"Getting promoted and demoted constantly obviously means she's a weakling," chimed in Pariah. It seemed the woman that the beta was sleeping with had heard the commotion as well for she rushed into the house. Ophelia tilted her head up at her aunt, the pup would grow into a sub like her aunt while Soul would grow into a dominant like their father.

"Tante, when can we play with the other puppies?"

"You can't properly play with them until you get older," said Pariah, "and remember Matthew's kid is off limits of playing with in anyway." She watched as both pups nodded. Their older uncle was scary. Caspian smirked to himself as his daughter questioned playing with the other pups that were left alive in the pack. "That child is in heat brother."

"She's not my type," said Caspian. "Styx or Axel can have their way with her." Oddly, neither Caspian or his inner wolf were reacting to the heat scent like was normal...probably because they recognized this wasn't mating season.

"Don't forget that other wolf brother....that male medic."

"Hmm...yes him as well. So...I assume they'll end up shifting at six then?"

Pariah shrugged. "Well that's when we shifted to wolf so it's probably the same for kids born wolves to shift to human on their sixth birthday," she said. The girl sat down on the grass, pushing Soul away as he ran towards his aunt. "You wash up first before touching me," said Pariah.

"O'tay Tante!"

 

[Cosmos]

Michi-
Michi let out an awkward giggle but lowly nodded as though following her suggestion at acting tougher from the others words, her blush increased as her face was dried with the towel, rubbing tieback of her neck just below her now slightly longer hair, she hadn't had time for a haircut as of late anyhow, truely she was still a child herself, "Ha- yeah, I-I guess I'm just tense because of being in heat an all I mean…. with numbers so low everyones expected to breed, especially if you're already in heat…." she mumbled a little nervously fidgeting on the spot with yet another haphazard and half glanced look.

Miley took one more bite of the hamburger before setting it back down on the plate of food and smiled at him. "Well, thank you Niko's family." She said before looking out into the forest and taking a deep breath of air. "I missed it here. France was so different... I couldn't really do much there. I mean, there is more stuff there than here, but Sk- I mean, my parents friends did so much to keep me occupied on moving around I didn't have time to relax. In surprised they let me come here. The only reason why I came back was for you, I honestly hated leaving you behind." She told him. She was actually glad to get some feelings out if her towards him. Being in the actual Council headquarters taught her to stand up for what she felt and wanted, or you would be drowned out and forgotten by other things. She smiled at him before standing up with the plate of food in her hand. "Let's go inside." She said before walking towards the door.

When the female stood up it was clear that she was definitely not pregnant anymore, her body as slim as it was before she became pregnant. Not like it changed when she was, but the stress of the other council members made it worse. She got slandered for getting pregnant by a halfblood, avoided by some of the members. They couldn't believe that one of the main purebloods got knocked up by a halfblood, but she didn't care what they said or thought after a while being there. It took her two weeks to finally get the attitude that runs in her family line, snapping at anyone who said anything bad about her. Soon, she earned her place there, like all the other purebloods there. Now that she had a break, she got away from them as quick as she could to rekindle some stuff she left.
-------
Zayne was surprised at her question after she listed all the foods she could stomach. Of course the male already knew what she could stomach, being the one who went on the craving runs. He'll just take her to the grocery store after this and let her pick out whatever looked appetizing to the pregnant woman. He thought thas was best for them, knowing that he eats different things than what she ate and liked.

He mulled over her question for a bit, eating his ice cream as he sat there thinking. If course he knew what he was going to do, make the pack listen to Gabriel, but he knew she wanted to earn that on her own. In fact, he felt like she was slowly earning their trust. They were very nosey wolves, nosey about what the two did behind closed doors and wondering what the two did, but that didn't matter. The couple could easily shut the pack up about it. He sighed before looking her in the eyes and said, "fix the borders. The smell of those attackers still linger in the territory, like they keep coming back and we need to strengthen the borders. And our defenses, cause you know for a fact we got some lazy wolves." He said to her, chuckling softly as he took another bite of ice cream.

Brexly didn't know what to say. The woman was in shock. Be his girlfriend? She hasn't actually dated someone since Caden's father left three years ago and the boy kept hoping that he would come back to him and be a family again with them. She sighed and gave a small smile, actually chuckling to herself. "I would say yes, but you honestly have to ask Caden. I never told you this, but Caden has this fantasy of his father coming back and being a family again." Her face dropped after finally telling him about what her son really wanted. It was up to the boy to allow another man to come into their life. "I know he just loves you, but he has dreams, and I've showed him countless times that his father..." Brexly shut herself up, not wanting to bring him up.

In fact, Caden's father wanted nothing to do with his son. Already married again and has another child that he actually takes care of, saying Caden is not his child. It broke the mothers heart to hear those words come out of the man's mouth years ago then watching him leave with a crying four year old in her arms. "You.. you got to show him that you'll be there for him. He doesn't know anything about his own father, and if I agree to be your girlfriend, you have to treat him like your own child. I know it's a lot to ask for, but he doesn't need another.. another person to leave him." She looked him dead in the eyes, a small smile on the woman face as she nodded to him, saying yes to being his girlfriend.

Briana stared to wolf at mid, not caring about two more that didn't do anything, when first one attacked, she hadn't even noticed that scenery had switched around them. When Thana reached closer, she used her small size get underneath Thana's jaw and pounched towards her with, switching totally way where Thana's own jump was going. Briana landed to other side of Thana, switching herself to human form.

Nikolaus
​

Nikolaus had taken a seat by this time and continued listening to Miley speak. She commented on her life in France for the past month and a half, cutting herself off with a name, but he just shrugged that off. Thanking his family, he informed her he would be sure to pass on her thanks for the food. As well as commenting on the fact that she wished she could have taken him to France with her to which Niko just nodded silently, not saying anything else. She then stood up and it was then that he noticed her stomach, which hadn't been very bgi like it should have been in pregnancy, looked the same as it had before she became pregnant. Niko frowned at this but when Miley grabbed her plate of food and said they should talk before heading into the cabin, he shrugged and got to his feet, following her inside and shutting the door behind him as he went. When they would reach the kitchen, he'd take his usual seat at the table and stare at her, trying to wrap his mind around the fact that she wasn't pregnant but glad he had never told his parents about the pregnancy to begin with. "What do you wish to talk about?"

Gabriel
​

"Perhaps it would be a good idea to arrange some traps around the borders for loners and enemy wolves," said Gabriel thoughtfully though the woman chuckled to herself as Zayne commented that they had quite a few lazy wolves in the pack. "Yes...it seems sometimes the only ones willing to work are us, Tobias, Azrael...even Angelica is starting to help out with things slowly. She seems to appreciate her job I gave her...some form of normalcy I suspect. Though I don't see how anyone is going to get any sleep in a few months with the house being full of children running and crawling about," she said. She had no idea to the litter sizes of all the pregnant females within the pack but their numbers would grow unless some females ended up having stillbirth. Of course that would just put stress on everyone as they would need to protect several vulnerable members of the pack and not just the three they had living with them.

"I'm thinking of instituting something for the upcoming parents, giving them time off to bond with their children. Maybe they'll change their minds about me. Fathers will go back to work at 5 weeks while mothers will get six to twelve weeks off from childbirth, this will of course depend on if the mother is physically fit, has had a C-section and litter size. I just don't know how wolves like Eliza and Amanda would deal with being demoted to omegas when they advance into their latter second trimester to third trimester. Maybe I will just not bother with that until next breeding season."

Gabriel doubted that she would be taking time off to recover from her own labor when she had pups. But maybe one of the pups would end up growing up to be a healer which would be useful and sorely needed, unless they got another healer within the pack during that time, otherwise Suzu would be quite busy with delivering four sets of pups. But Gabriel had given birth easily enough on her own before when pregnant with her son so she knew what she was doing and should do fine on her own...still it wouldn't be easy as that still left Suzu's hands full. Maybe it was best not to worry about having to do anything with that until it closer to when labor would start. During this, she continued eating her ice cream and rose to her feet after Zayne had finished his own treat before they would leave and head towards the local grocery store, Gabriel tossing down a ten dollar bill on the table with a note to keep the change as the waiter's tip as she passed the table.

Walking in silence, she went through the aisles and tried to pick out some foods that both of them could end up eating. Checking with Zayne on what all he wanted, it would be no fun if he couldn't have foods he couldn't eat after all, she paid for the food and together the pair would head back to the territory of Haven and the couple's...well Gabriel's...waterfall. The woman did not comment on the attack of that wolf that claimed to be the poor omega's master, the thought was sickening and she didn't trust herself to not speak in anger about it. So it was with relief when they came to the waterfall and the woman set the bags of food down before sitting down, partly glad to rest her feet and partly glad she was in a place that was calming to her. "I swear pregnancy gives us females overloaded senses when they're already heightened due to what we are...and my wolf really needs to quit acting like a pup. Seems to think we've waited long enough to makr you and your wolf as our mate but I don't even know what your wolf thinks of us." Comet

Zephyr was almost as shocked at her response as she was to his question. He swallowed and looked at her intently. How could he not love caden like that? Afraid to overstep his bounds Zephyr even considered walking with the boy or taking him to parks or zoos by himself to give her some space allow for girl time. Women sometimes needed that. Overall though he was happy with her response. He could hardly contain his excitement but her response demanded one of his own. So. He sipped his coffee and proceeded to tell her about himself.

“I would devote my life to the child. To you. If you would have me. I’ll have you know I’m not like most men,” he satrted but hitched breath on the fact he wasn’t. Because he wasn’t a man.

He was a wolf. An albino wolf that though had a fairly good life with his father he was still abandoned by both parties eventually.

“You see people don’t understand what they cannot explain, in the sense that I am an albino and where I come from that is not okay. My mother was first to hate me, often hitting me,” he changed from hitting because his mother did actually bite him all the time and she wasn’t gental. She wasn’t trying to kill him he’d learn later. “She wouldn’t feed me first or at all instead favouring my more or less normal coloured siblings. It wasn’t until the plague that she decided to do anything with me and that was to give me to my father. He was kind, kind enough not to kill me also.”

He never told his father he was a wolf instead showed him on accident not entirely intending to do so. He just came home one night while he was transforming and this scared him. Zephyr got a cut above his third rib for it. The silver made him sick since his father grabbed one of the silver kitchen utensils but he survived and his father sort of checked out at that point also.

“My father and I weren’t entierly on speaking terms all the time but he never tried to hurt me. Not on purpose anyway. The moral of this story is I intend to be better than my parents and I love Caden just as much as I love you. I know words cannot show you this so I intend to show you with my actions.” He took a breath in.

“Plus Caden loves Emma. He was the whole reason I kept her after all. That and who am I to deny a stray a home. Especially a savannah....” he scratched the loving cat behind her ears.

Miley sat at the table across from Niko, finally opening the plate fully in front of her. She was catious with it outside, scared that it would all fall off her lap. "So... How has it been around here? How has... Your group been?" She asked him, picking up her burger again and taking another bite. "Anything I missed when I left?" She asked again.

Zayne listened to talk about what they should do about the borders and he agreed. It was good that Angelica was starting to help out a bit, it honestly seemed like the loners we're more helpful than the actual pack members. The loners were more willing to pull their weight more than the actual pack members.

He followed her through the isles of the store, nodding when she held up some foods and asked if he was okay with it and he nodded. He just wanted her happy with whatever she wanted, just saying yes to the foods he was shown so she could have whatever. After the shopping trip he followed her to the waterfall and started setting stuff up. It was just a day to the two of them and he was hoping to make it the best day she ever had. As he was setting up stuff, he stopped when she mentioned that her wolf wanted to mark him, but she wasn't for sure what his wolf thought. He put down what he had in his hands and walked towards her with a smirk. He got his face really close to hers but didn't touch, cupping her face. He breathed very softly, "If it wasn't for my wolf, I wouldn't be here right now with you~"

Brexly listened to Zephyr talk about his life, not really knowing any of this about him. It made her feel bad for the man and putting him through so much, trying to get her. "Well, then it's settled, you just got to let Caden know." She said, leaving the news breaking up to him. She shut up the moment the food arrived, smiling as she picked it up and took a bite.

From then on Zephyr’s mind was on the boy And how he would tell him. Children were hard and he had no prior experience. Any way he could go about this he would have to approach the situation delicately. Especially if he were to later on tell her that he was a wolf. His ear flicked and his hand flew to the side of his head readjusting his lengthy snow coloured hair to make it look like the wind messed with it. Then he too ate his lunch ordering a half cooked ahi tuna for the cat who lazily ate it from the floor.

He paid the restaurant the bill and smiled drinking the rest of his coffee. “Well. I think we have a small boy’s day to go make,” he said rubbing the space he just got tattooed and instantly regretted it. His face twisted in a wince and he pulled his hand away. Luckily the fresh wound wasn’t bleeding but he definitely felt the pain still. He reached for her hand. “May I?” He requested snapping his fingers at the cat who jumped up and streatched to follow.
