((My poor car. My poor, poor Nissa. She's been through so much this winter, but she's a trooper! I'm hoping to one day get her fixed where I slid on the ice and banged into the guard rail. I'm surprisingly not doing so bad considering I'm from Florida :P I've gotten compliments on how well I've been handling it and the cold! Haha))


"In the end, family is family, no matter if it is of blood or no." Lorenzo approved with a nod as Betta smiled. "So what is it that you-"

"Uncle Callum! Uncle Callum!!" A voice yelled from inside the restaurant.

"In the back room!" Callum shouted back and Betta was relieved. She did not want to go over the Prince part yet with her Uncle Lorenzo. Her gift had showed her that Callum already knew and she was grateful that he seemed to be okay with it for now.

Just then, several kids flew into the room, all from Callum's side of the family. There was his sister Karen's kids; Marco and Felicity. Then there was his baby brother's kids; Varian, Iryna, Tucker, and Briley. Betta blinked at all of them as she looked over at Bryce and mouthed 'Welcome to the family'.


The blonde woman, Bunny, simply smiled as she took Jason, looked to her mate, Makah, before disappearing from the room with the children and heading down to the play room.

It was silent for a couple of seconds before a phone went off. Every wolf in the room turned their heads towards Hazel as she scowled. She checked the phone before a stony expression came onto her face and she ignored it.

"Aren't you going to answer that, lass?" Donovan asked as she glared at him.

"No."

"No?"

"No." She said. It stopped ringing for a second before beginning again. At this point, Hazel got fed up with it and actually chucked her window out of the open window as everyone just stared.

"Did you just..."

"Can we just get on with this?!" She snapped and Ian had to cover his mouth to keep from laughing. He knew EXACTLY who had called her phone and caused her to get so short.

((Ouch....haha well at least your adjusting to the NE winters....))

Bryce nodded with a small smile, dreading the next question but it never came. He nearly sighed in relief but the sheer number of kids made him blink. He looked to Betta with a chuckle and a small shrug. Kids had never bothered him in the least and they seemed like a good group. He sipped at his water again, letting them greet their uncles.


Antonia coughed to keep a laugh from emerging at the scene in front of her. She shot Kai an innocent look as the younger girl nudged her. "We done then?" Kai asked, quirking an eyebrow at Hazel's vengence against the phone. She shook her head and looked to the others, "Well...guess its better to start now than wait. I know we all just recovered from devistation but something else has come up. A much smaller scale, I can say that much, but its an enemy you all have never come up against." Kai took a breath, silently judging the atmosphere around her. "We've recieved word that a young Brann man, a prince of the highlands, by the name of Griffith Donnel who is coming here with a sect of warriors we know back home as Malvagio in four days time. They play sick mental games with anyone they come across no matter the age. There may only be a few but don't let their numbers decive you. He's coming here to retrieve Nina, his cousin. Understand we are doing everything in our power to ensure they don't cause more havoc than needed...." She glanced to Antonia whose face had gone rigid, clenching and unclenching her jaw and fists. Once she was sure the girl wouldn't ignite anything she went on. "His family overthrew Nina's nearly 2 decades ago...but they're losing power with the people. They're going after a family heirloom, an amulet, said to posess incredible powers and they need Nina to access it..." She paused there, figuring she may as well let the questions come now before she got too far in.

((Lol I was doing fine until today! What is with this below zero weather!? I almost said I quit and got in my car and drove home. lmao I can handle the teens and twenties, but I don't like this below zero crap! Too cold!!))

"Uncle Callum! Uncle Lorenzo!" Multiple voices said. The kids ranged from a variety of ages from the oldest kid Varian, who was 15, all the way to Briley, who was 6.

As they moved towards the two older men, the girls giving them hugs and kisses on the cheeks, they slowly began to trickle over to Betta and say hello to her.

"Betta! Betta, who's the cute boy sitting next to you?" Briley asked with a giggled as she waved over at Bryce with an adorably coy smile.

Betta merely laughed as she grinned over at Bryce.

"That's my amore, Bryce." She said.

"What's an amore?" Briley asked.

"He's my love."

"Like true love?!" She gasped with an excited grin, her brother Tucker, who was 9, made a gagging sound.

"Yes, like true love." She said.


((Gosh dang it!!!))


The mood in the room became more serious as Kai got to business and quickly explained why they had all gathered. Everyone had their attention on her as they sat and thought about it. At her pause, Hazel was surprisingly the first to talk.

"You're related to him, aren't you?" She asked of Antonia, her sharp eyes having watched the way she had reacted while Kai explained who they were up against.

"So you're going to accuse her for somebody she can't help that she's related to?" Donovan was quick to come to her defense as Hazel just turned her rather creepy yellow eyes over in his direction as she raised an eyebrow.

"Did I say that?" She asked coldly, not giving a damn who he was, ready to confront him.

"You might as well have."

"But did I say it? Listen fuck face, I don't mince words. I don't play word games. I just asked her if she was related. I didn't accuse her because I know what it's like. Just because you're related to a scum sucker, doesn't mean you have to be one too. Now before you open your big mouth next time in business that isn't involving you, sit down and shut the fuck up and figure everything out first." She coolly dismissed him as she turned back to Antonia for her answer.

((No the freezing temps kill me too!))


Bryce turned faintly pink as the attention was suddenly on him. He chuckled with a small grin though, “So....you know who I am. Who are all of you?” He asked curiously, figuring lunch was on hold for the moment.


((Buahaha we've both done it))

Antonia turned her head to Hazel slowly, not knowing whether to glare or thank Donovan. She wasn't used to people defending her. “Right, lass. Though, truth be told there be more of a relationship between ye and Seth than me baby brotha and me so let's not hone in on details.” She snarked back and her own eyes flashed gold briefly, mostly for the way she'd spoken to Donovan. They may not have seen each other in quite some time but no one spoke to them that way. “I'm here because as much as ye wolves think ye the biggest and baddest eva ye actually ahen't. Plus...ye tend to think of ye selves fore outsiders. Now, folks he's comin with would snap the neck of a wee babe without a blink and turn ye on ye own mate fore ye realized they were dead in ye arms.” She informed them, her tone matching Hazel's with a creepy accuracy.

“....thanks for that image, Nia.” Kai sighed, rubbing the bridge of her nose. “She's right though...about the group Griffith's coming with. She's had bad experie....whatever point is she and another, a good friend of mine named James, are coming as reinforcements. Unfortunately, we've also learned they may try to use Erik as a messenger. Its why James is coming....Antonia can handle the swarm head on when they go after Nina. James can more than handle the one they'll send for Erik.”

“Ye need to remove Devin from the equation that night, though, loves.” Antonia spoke up with a shrug, markings emerging down her arms as she tried to quelsh her other nerves.

((They would kill anyone I think! If anybody told me that they liked this weather and it felt good, I'd check them into a mental institution! lmao))

Briley beamed as she straightened up. "I'm Briley! Everyone just calls me Bri though." She said as she giggled at him and flipped her braided pigtails behind her back. "The one being a stupid head is my brother Tucker." She flicked her head back to Tucker who straightened up and glared at his sister for calling him a stupid head.

"I'm not a stupid head! I just think that love stuff is stupid. And icky. It means kissing girls! You girls are icky!" He said as Betta snickered madly.

"The girl with the black curly hair studying the carving knife is my big sister Iryna. She's kind of weird. She doesn't like girly things, I sometimes wonder if she should have been a boy." She said with a nod as Betta really did laugh.

"That's not very nice, Briley." She scolded her.

"It's true!" She argued. "Anyways, the boy talking to Uncle Callum is my big brother Varian. He's really cool cuz he likes to give me piggy back rides!" She declared with a grin.

"And I'm Felicity!" The girl said as she walked up and put her hands on Briley's shoulders, coming over to make sure that the little girl was behaving. Tilting her head, she sniffed the air slightly before looking over at Bryce and studying him. Her sharp eyes caught the markings on his skin and her eyes lit up.

"Hey! Are those markings?! You're... oh what was the word again..." She muttered to herself. "Uhh... uhh... Eau, right?! I think that's what he said."



"I wasn't talking about Seth." Hazel said with a roll of her eyes, not knowing if she liked this strange girl who smelled weird or not. After all, she seemed like a bitch after her own heart. She wouldn't look away as Antonia stared her down and spoke, her wolf who was always so close to the surface not willing her to back down.

"Well the way I see it." Ian spoke up, ignoring what little thing was going on between Hazel and Antonia. "Is that that Nina is pack. Both her and Kai both became pack the moment they were mated to Devin and Kyler respectively. And we protect our own. Just tell us what we need to do. Tell us more about what we're up against and how we can prepare and fight against them." He said.

"Wait. Why does Devin have to be removed when this all goes down? It's not going to be easy to get him to be away from his mate when she's endangered, even with him being a lower leveled wolf." Finn asked curiously, his eyes on Antonia. Of all people, Ciaran saw the way Finn was eying Antonia and his lip curled as he flashed fang at the little man. Finn immediately averted his eyes.

((Hahaha, oh Antonia, I think you're stuck with those boys no matter what. lol))

((You and me both!))

Bryce chuckled, trying to keep everyone straight as Briley went on and on. He blinked, though, as Felicity called him out. “Well that's right, Felicity. Who told you about my kind, though....?” He asked curiously with a tilt of his head.


Antonia nearly scoffed at Ian's answer considering it proved her point. Wolves protected their own and only their own. She looked to Finn with a quirked eyebrow, “First off, not a cold chance in hell, pup. Second, theya gonna turn Devin against Nina when he tries to protect her. Te prove my point...” Antonia tilted her head and Finn started a rather intricate jig where he stood. “What are ye, lad, delta? Don't matta how far down o' far up ye ah in ye chain. Feel that laddy? Feel the lack of control but how yer conscious of what ye doin? Imagine this feeling as ye stand over a loved one as ye plunge a knffe through the heart only to be released when its too late. Oh they won't go that far, laddie, cause they need her alive but they'll get theya point across. Give him nightmares to scar him the rest of his days.” She tilted her head back and flicked her finger with boredom and released him. She wouldn't look to the boys, though. She didn't want to see their reactions. Playing with minds was something she'd kept very secret.

Kai nearly twitched at the example Antonia used, speaking then. “Nina already explained it all to Devin. He's not happy. Obviously. He won't be easy to remove from her side but it must be done.” She added, giving a small shrug. “That's a big reason why we need your help. Save for knocking the boy out or binding him to the floor we don't have many options....its for the best of both of them.”

Felicity beamed, glad to know that she got it right after her crash course lesson early. "I met Iggy's nephew earlier! Jeremiah! He was at the playground with his little sister and Erik Doswell. He was really cool." She said with a smile.

"Wait, you talked to a boy earlier?!" Marco, Felicity's brother piped up as he stood behind her with his arms crossed over his chest as he frowned. Felicity rolled her eyes before jabbing her bony elbow into his sternum.

"Stop being such an idiot, Marco. Jeremiah's really cool. It wasn't like that. Anyways, yea! He told me a little about where you guys are from. So does that mean you can do what Jeremiah can, except with water?!" She asked Bryce excitedly, obviously intrigued by all of it. She wanted to learn everything about this other world!



Finn yelped as he began to move even though he didn't want to, a couple of the wolves tensing as their eyes moved from Antonia and back to Finn and then back again. He was relieved when he was set free, not feeling too comfortable.

"Can all of you do that?" Hazel demanded, not liking the idea of being controlled. Of course she had never liked being controlled.

"Well, we can get Devin for you, that's not an issue." Ian promised Kai as he ran his hand over his head. "When is this all going down?" He asked as he looked over at them again.

Bryce chuckled a bit awkwardly, glancing to Betta's uncles before looking back to the young girl. so much for that. "You met Jeremiah and he actually spoke to you?" He mused, shaking his head a bit before nodding. "Yeah, you've go that right. My kind can manipulate water to heal, create and to fight.


Antonia smirked at Hazel, "Not her kind, lovie. I'm....a special case." She flashed a viciously fangy smile. "Got a bunch flowin through me veins. Guardians can't mess with ye mind. I'm a mix of a few different demons, shapeshifter, sprinkle of sorceress, smudge of Brann and a hint of Malvagio. Hell, those are only the sides I know about..." Kai's would boil you from the inside.... she thought with a shrug. "We'll send descriptions when we can but needless te say if ye see anyone new in town stay a distance and let us know till we can confirm it..."

Kai nodded, ignoring Antonia for the moment. "Erik? In three night falls. Nina? Four days from now. James is coming in late tomorrow night but with your and Jerrod's permissions, of course, we'd prefer to find a....reason of sorts to explain why he's staying with Erik and Jerrod." She added with a small shrug.

Luckily for Bryce, Betta's uncles were too distracted talking to the multitude of children to hear his explanation to Felicity. "Well... I kind of didn't leave him much choice. I asked a lot of questions and I'm adorable! Everybody loves talking to me." Felicity grinned at Bryce. "You can do all that?! Really!? Can you show me?! That means Kai can do this as well, right?! How does water heal you? Is it just magic or is there an actual scientific explanation to it? Oh I have tons of questions. Jeremiah said to talk to Nina for more, but I can't help but want to learn everything from everyone." She admitted as she rambled on happily.

"Stop boring the man with your endless nosy questions, Fee. He doesn't want to be bothered with them." Marco scolded her as she made a face over at her brother.


"How the hell do you get to be that big of a mutt?" Hazel asked as she got elbowed in the side by Kris.

"What was that for?!" She asked with a scowl as the blue haired woman rolled her eyes. If you noticed, her hair was even shorter now. Probably something to do with the fiasco earlier.

"That was rude! You can't just ask people personal questions like that. I know you don't have any class, but try!"

"I can come up with a reason for Jerrod, but at the moment I think anything would work for him." Ian said with a sigh. "Is there anything else you want us to do? You know we're here for you whenever you need us." He gave Kai a smile. He respected Kai as a person and was coming to love her as a sister the more she was around. He'd do anything to help her and Nina and Iggy and the kids. They were pack in his eyes. Family.

Bryce blinked, chuckling as she rambled on but waved away her brother's concern. “Its fine....Marco, right? I don't mind. I can show you some....but you'd have to ask Kai about the healing. She doesn't like to admit it but she's one our best healers. Nina knows a lot too but she knows a lot more about Branns.” He tried to explain, waving his hand over his glass of water so a few dropplets stayed on his fingers. As he wiggled them slowly the drops danced between his fingers.


Antonia quirked an eyebrow, waving off Kris's concern with a shrug. “She's not the first. I can't account for all of me lineage but....me mum was conceived in a ritual between a rather nasty demon, bloodthirsty mutt and a malvagio sorceress shape-shifter. Me da, a Brann, raped me mum and then I was born. He tried to have me killed but I was persuasive even as a wee bab and “convinced” people te protect me from a young age till I had to start eattin them. That clear enough for ye, lass?” She asked, her voiced pointed and icy as a soft but deep growl developed in her chest and her eyes now stayed gold, absolutely blocking the boys from her sight. Her heart was racing and her stomach hurt. Very unlike herself her first instinct was to morph into her wunde and run. She didn't want to deal with this shit.

Kai nodded with a small smile, “Of course...and once we get everything settled I want to come and check on Adelle if that's alright with you...” She added, knowing the poor woman was having a rough time of her pregnancy. She facepalmed, though, as Hazel started in with Antonia. “Right now.... though... I think we'd better get going...” She sighed, nudging Antonia, and only returning her glare. “Not. Here. Come on. Knock it off.”
