Eighty-Eight: Wolves and Bears
Damien
Marshall, lan, and I are sitting in a cabin waiting for an old friend to show up. The cabin is in his territory. He, his beta Thomas and the three of us have been friends for years. The two of them used to attend underground fights when they were younger. That's where we all met. We have been here many times. It is safer for us to meet here than to show up at his place. We have been there for about thirty minutes when the two of them show up.
“It's good to see you again Damien, Marshall, and lan,” Darrius says.
“It has been a long time friend,” I tell him.
He and Thomas take a seat, and we get down to business. Darrius tells us that he was just at the Alpha convention on the Silver Moon Packs territory. Well, isn't that an interesting coincidence? I explain why we are here and what is going on. I see a huge smile spread across his face.
“I hate that pack. I hated it before, but now that they somehow acquired that land, I hate them even more. I have been trying to get my hands on that land for the last five years, only to be turned down each time.” Darrius tells me.
“It was unattainable because one original member of the original pack that owned the land is still alive. He just recently signed over the land to Dustin.” I explain.
“How could any of the original pack members still be alive?” Thomas asked, stunned.
“His name is Dimitri, and when he and his brother ran the pack he was bitten by a vampire,” I comment.
“That should have killed him then,” Darrius replies.
“It should have, except Dominick found him and called Mykenzie and Kylani to save him,” I say.
"So itis true then about those two?" Darrius asks.
“Yes,” I reply.
I begin to explain exactly who Mykenzie, Kylani, and Chris are and how they came to be. I explain the original plot and what Dimitri and Dominick did. They are surprised at the story, but I know that Darrius and Thomas have heard at least part of the story before. Darrius’s great-grandmother was part of one of the families of the old pack. They were one of the families that sided with the Navarro family. I explain the current plan and who we are working with.
“A demon and a fallen angel. That's not who I was expecting you were going to tell me.” Darrius says.
“Yeah, kind of a strange pairing but they are very loyal and trustworthy. We have been working with them for 3000, and I trust them completely.” I say.
I tell him why we are here and that we want him and Thomas to help us. I explain our plan to find someone to become part of the pack and get some inside information. He is more than happy to join our group but says that getting someone inside might be harder than we think. I ask him if he has any better ideas, and he says that he and Thomas need some time to come up with possible alternative plans. I tell him ok and to give me a call when he wants to meet back up and discuss the plans. I tell him next time, I will also have the other two with me. I am sure they will want to meet these two after I tell them about this meeting. We all stand up and say goodbye to each other. Marshall, lan, and I head back to our hidden place.
We get back to our main house to find dinner on the table. I smile cause our angel Vepar is a great cook. Asmoday is a lucky man to have her as a wife. The five of us sit down to eat, and I tell him of my meeting with Darrius and Thomas. I tell him how I have known him and how long I have known him. I still feel a little bad that we had to kill Penthesilea and Phlegyas, but those two were starting to get sloppy, and I know that we were close to getting caught because of them. I am sure when those great beasts found them dead, that shocked the shit out of the pack. I can guarantee that none of them was expecting that. I am still trying to figure out how and why Mykenzie and Kylani ended up here in this town. I don't think it is a coincidence at all. I tell the two of them what we discussed and that Darrius thinks trying to get someone into the pack is harder than we think.
“Yes, I was starting to think that this plan might not work. I have a feeling that the girls have put some sort of field to alert them to an immortal or supernatural being crossing the pack borders.” Asmoday says.
“I am sure they have. I would expect nothing less from them.” lan says.
We continue to eat our dinner and talk about Asmoday’s business. He and two of his cousins deal in rare supernatural beings. Another guy was part of it, but he was killed years ago after he double-crossed them and stole one of the most valuable beings Asmoday had. We have been searching for her, but it has proved difficult to find her. Asmoday killed the warlock that stole her, but by then, he had already hidden her somewhere with someone. I don't particularly like or agree with his business, but it is none of my business. We also think he is the same person who kidnapped Asmoday and Vepars daughter and placed her with that couple. Finding her is how we found Poseidon’s daughters. That was a nice surprise. We were there the night that the house caught fire. Asmoday made it look like the wiring shorted out. The only problem was that neither of the girls was there. The only one there was Nyalia and she was killed. After the fire, Dimitri kept a close eye on them; obviously, they ended up with that pack. Dimitri is a huge thorn in our side, but since he was saved by the girls, he is immortal and unable to die just like them. Thankfully we were able to hide out here with Vepar and Asmoday. I have no idea how long it will take us to full fill our plan but we will bring down the gods.
