Call of the wild: Meeting the Alphas

Chapter 8

fusedtwilight: We will see more charectors in this one. I hope every one is enjoying this story, and i am sorry if i do the french accents bad.

I stared at the clothes in disbelief.
Silk, vinyl, LEATHER! What do they take me for?
Just because I hang with the shifters doesn't mean I’m into a kinky shit....of course virgins usually aren’t into anything kinky unless they’re doing something kinky.
The paints were brownish leather that would leave little to the imagination, the vinyl shirt bared my arms, but there was a silk button jacket to wear over it. The jacket was a light golden brown.
Great I was getting pimped up by a vampire.
I reluctantly put the clothes on and my choker. I walked out of the bathroom to find Jean-Claude and Anita waiting for me. Anita eyed me, but not sexually her eyes widened at my look and she gave Jean-Claude a dirty look. "Jean-Claude...what the hell is that!" She said pointing at me.
"My thoughts exactly." I said giving the master a dirty look.
Jean-Claude looked amused. "Well ma petite he is meeting the city's Alpha’s and we are trying to make a good first impression no?" he put his hand to his chin and looked me in the eyes "You must admit the brown goes nicely with his hair and eye's."
"Oh yes parade me around like some snack for the shifters." I muttered.
"Ma petite he echoes’s you no?" Jean-Claude said with a chuckle.
I then suddenly realized I needed to prepare myself mentally. So I sat down on my four poster bed Indian style and closed my eyes and concentrated.
"What are you doing?" Anita asked.
"I'm rechecking my shields and sealing up as much as I can, if I’m going to be in a room full of Alphas I need to make sure my power doesn't zonk out on me." I said.
"Good thinking." she said and I felt my heart flutter, my hero gave me a compliment.
I checked my shields and everything looked fine. I reinforced everything and blocked harder then normal, I had to be extra careful or else I’d find myself up shit creek without a paddle.
"Mon chat, about you and ma petite, we must make sure the two of you make no physical contact tonight." Jean-Claude said leaning against the bed post. Did he even know how sexy he was?
"No problem I’ll just sit away from her and won't shake her hand." I said.
"Oui that would be very effective, tonight you may here things of a sensitive nature and it would be best if you not say anything of what you are here." he said seriously.
"Don't worry I’m good at keeping secrets." I said grinning.
There was a knock at the door "Enter." Jean-Claude said.
A man came in, he was in his early twenties, and he had blonde hair cut businessman short and blue eyes. Like me he wore vinyl and leather only his was a bit more outrageous.
"Jean-Claude the Alphas are here and there getting a bit restless." He said.
I suddenly realized who the man was; I hadn't recognized him in the leather and vinyl.
"Jason? Is that you?" I asked.
He looked at me and grinned, "Hey Dave long time no see." He said.
I walked forward and shook his hand. Jason was a wolf; I had met him at the bar wile I worked there. He was a pretty funny guy, bit of a pervert, but I knew that behind those blue eyes was a very smart and thoughtful guy.
"Nice outfit." I said nodding toward his clothes.
He let out a chuckle "Yeah you’re one to talk, never took you for leather and vinyl." he said smirking.
I frowned "Well it wasn't exactly my choice." I said and glanced at Jean-Claude. He just gave us an innocent smirk.
"So I hear your hanging with the bats." Jason said questioningly.
"Well I wouldn't say hanging with them we just met." I said.
"Shall we then?" Jean-Claude said, interrupting the conversation.
I got up and looked around for my shoes "Uh wait I can't find any shoes....I’m not supposed to wear any am I?"
"Nope it's part of the appeal." Jason said grinning.
We walked down the hallway with some of the guards. I walked by Jason Anita and Jean-Claude were in front of us.
"So Florida huh? What brought you to St. Louise?" Anita asked.
"Oh lots of reasons, one of them was to find a cousin of mine named Phillip." I said.
Phillip was my cousin from my mother’s side. He was eight years older than me. He was the black sheep of the family; he had been attacked by a vamp at the age of twelve. Afterwards he became a vampire junkie. Last I had heard he had come to St. Louise. I had hoped to find him and maybe help steer him away from that kind of lifestyle when I came here. My mom was very close to him, it had broken her heart to see him become vamp bait.
"Did you say Phillip?" Anita said looking at me with surprise.
"Yes do you know him? He looks a lot like me, he was heavily involved with vampires, had a scar around his collar?" I said.
Her face fell "We'll talk later." she said. But I knew it wasn't going to be good.
We walked back to the room with the painting, even through the drapes I could hear voices arguing. We stepped through the drapes and I felt dozens of eye's land on me. Even if I was shielded I could still sense them. So many alphas, so many shifters, such little room.
It had been a long time since I had been with this many shifters, and such powerful ones too. I saw many faces I knew. There was Drake with his little bat group, I saw Kim with a man and woman I assumed were Andy and his mother, Richard sat with a black man with braided hair and the tallest Asian man, they were his guards, Jamil and Shang-Da but with them was someone I really didn't want to see Sylvie. She shot me a glare and I knew she was pissed at me, great now I had one of the meanest women in all St. Louise after me.
From one of the couches stood four men one was Micah Calihan the leopard king, the man next to him sat at his feet, he had long hair that was at his ankles all he wore was a thong and a pair of boots, and I thought I was dressed outlandish. The two men behind Micah were obviously bodyguards; one looked like he should be a hells angel.
There was a man with pale skin, like a vampire, but there was a blush to his cheeks that said he was full of life, he had a clean cut preppy look and looked like he should be at a frat, not a were mixture.. I was sure he was the swan king, but I’d rather not risk using my power to find out. There stood a tall muscular man in a bondage out fit, he must be ixion, Narcissus had originally taken in body builders, but after a little invasion from a evil shifter he had began recruiting from former police and mercenaries. There was a Mexican man whom I knew to be Rafael the rat king, his second in command Luie Fran was next to him. Luie taught at college, he was pretty cool. I recognized Claudia; she was very tall and was very muscular for a woman. That’s fine by me, though some guys are turned off by strong women. Bobby Lee was there as well, I recognized the four because they had come to the zoo to eat before. I recognized Rebecca ,the ursa of the bears, with her guards, Christine the only tiger in town who represented the other shifters who were too few to be part of a clan.
Not all lycanthropy was equally contagious, Rat, and wolf were the easiest to catch. Cat lycanthropy was harder, and serpent was next to near impossible. Speaking of serpents there Nilisha the queen of the werecobras were there with her daughter and some guards. I knew just about everybody here. Not personally of course, but from work.
The last was a man who was rather slim but had broad shoulders, his hair was highlighted blue like the cookie monster. I knew he was Haven the new Rex of the St. Louise pride. He had a few thugs with him. Other lions he brought with him from Chicago . All of them, the bats, wolfs, snakes, bears, lions, leopards, hyenas, hell even the vampires and guards were staring at me...how awkward.
I just stared back and said the only thing I could think to say "What’s up?"
Okay not the best or original thing to say to a bunch of angry Alpha’s but I was very nervous and everyone was just staring at me, I hated to be stared at.
Some glared at me. Others rolled their eyes, and a few actually cracked a smile, lets here it for those with a funny bone. I didn't know what I was supposed to do, till a cool hand touched my shoulder.
I turned and saw it was Jean-Claude he was smiling pleasantly and nodded toward a chair by Richard and the Leopards. We walked over and as we did Micah and the man in the thong got up. Micah and Anita kissed and she and the thong man did as well. How weird, How many guys here does she kiss like that? For a second I entertained my libido with thoughts of Anita kissing me like that. But then I quickly pushed those fantasies for later, business first pleasure later.
I sat down on the chair there were two couches on my left was Richard and his pack, to my right was Jean-Claude, Anita, and Micah. The thong man sat at Anita’s and Micah’s feet like some sexy toy. The other two cats were behind Micah like good body guards. I confess I didn't like sitting between Richard and the others. They were a Triumvirate, bound by vampire marks.
I could feel there connection to each other. Speaking of connections, I sensed Anita had a connection to thong guy and a pale red haired vamp. That was odd, only vamps could form a triumvirate, but I sensed Anita was the center of that little group. She had a connection to Micah but it was different, he was her king, and she his queen. "So have you added a new member to your kiss?" Haven said.
"What ever do you mean?" Jean-Claude asked.
"You have him sit between your Triumvirate, is there a reason you have a mere mortal sit with his superiors?" Haven asked and some of the shifters nodded in agreement.
"It's not about power but more about being comfortable." Jean-Claude said "We felt he may be safer around those who wish him no harm." He said.
"Why would we harm him, the boy has done nothing wrong he need fear nothing right?" Donovan said.
"Yes but do to certain comments made earlier we felt it wise to keep him away from those who wish him ill." Jean-Claude said.
"Only if the boy is a threat to us," Rebecca said "We only protect our clans."
"He is no threat Ursa." Drake said scowling at the Ursa "He posses no threat to us, any of us."
"That remains to be seen." Christine said "For a human of such a young age to be able to call all beasts like a vampire, and override the command of a master, it is cause for some concern." She said.
"Even amongst vampires there is only one who can call all beasts." Rafael said "And what would he do if he found a mere mortal who could do as he?"
"This Padma and any other vampire will not touch him, as the prince of the St. Louise Werebats I offer our protection to David Kazat if he accepts any who wish him harm will have to answer to my clan." Drake said.
"That’s rather odd seeing as how your clan is well known for forsaking outsiders, why would you be interested in protecting this boy hmm?" Rebecca asked.
"Maybe the Werebats wish him for themselves." Nilisha said "Surely any clan with a mortal who can call any beast would find him an amazing asset?"
"Whoa, everyone back up." I said and they all turned there eye's to me "Look I have no intentions what so ever to join any were groups, I’m a waiter, as some of you know and I work at the county zoo, I have this thing where I have a connection to animals but I have had it since I was born, I don't mean anyone any harm, I was just hanging out with my friends and one of them was in trouble, they had guns and I didn't want her hurt, so I sent a call for help, things didn't get bad until that vampire tried to use her whammy on me." I said.
"It is true, Magnus and I were there, it wasn't until Meng-Die tried to call monsieur David that his power reacted badly, and took control of the other shifters." Asher said.
"Yes, Mr. Kazat saved Kim, he has the support of the Weredogs" Janet said.
"The wolves stand by him as well." Richard said "He has done nothing wrong; he just has a talent that is rather...unnerving for some." He said.
"Unnerving is an interesting choice of words Ulfric, but this boy forcefully took control members of our packs! He even managed to best a master vampire! This is more then unnerving." Haven said.
"Yes, I’ve never heard of such a thing." Donovan said.
"And we don't even know the extent of his powers." Rafael said "How do we know he won't try and use it against us?" He said.
"Like I just said I have no desire what so ever to get involved in furry politics." I said, "I mean sure I work at the zoo, but that’s it, I just want a normal life." Do I look stupid or something? Who in there right mind would want to get involved with stuff like that?
"But your not normal." He said.
"I know that." I muttered, thank you captain obvious.
"Maybe instead of looking at the negatives of his power we should try to find something good about it." Donovan said.
Yes! Thank you swan guy! Swans are so cool, maybe it’s because he’s not a predator type that makes him so peaceful.
"Like what? He calls animals like a vampire, what good is that?" Christine said.
"Perhaps he can tell us more about his gift." Micah said "Maybe if he shed some light on this mysterious gift he could help us to understand." he said smiling at me.
Leopards are okay. I mean sure they’re predators but they’re very laid back. Micah is so cool.
"Sure what ever helps." I said. I then proceeded to tell them about my power and how it worked. I told them I was trained to shield. I told them how I could sense them. I told them as much about my power without revealing my origins. Point for me.
"So all those times we came to eat you knew who we were, what we were, and you never told us?!" Sylvie snarled.
Probably shouldn’t have said the bit about always knowing they were shifters.
"I'm sorry Sylvie I knew lots of you are in the closet, that’s why I never said anything, plus I knew that if word got out that I could call animals something like this would happen." I said waving my arms towards every one.
"Have you ever heard of the Black Forest Clan David?" she asked.
I acted like I knew nothing. One of the benefits of being raised by Wolves you knew how to lie better then most. "No never heard of them, I thought yours was the only clan around?" I asked.
That’s right Dave, act all innocent. Maybe Tom wasn’t so paranoid about having James teach me how to stay calm with shifters.
"We are, but in Pennsylvania there are-were dozens. Years ago the master of the city, Nigel who could call all canines, began to bring the many wolf clans under his control, for many years the clans fought but one by one they fell to him, adding their number to his army, then a few years ago, somehow they defeated Nigel, then the Black Forest clan began to do what Nigel did, they began to usurp the other wolf packs adding there number to there own. Not only that but they blackmailed the other shifters. Some how, they found out who was in the closet and threatened to expose them if they didn't become their spies. The richer ones had to give them money, which they used to buy weapons and other useful supplies. Soon they started to expand out side of there state and what they couldn't take by black mail they took by force. For some reason they have stopped their little campaign. Rumors say they had a weapon that allowed them to become so powerful. But if that was true why did they stop?"
Everyone had gotten tense looks on there faces "Maybe they had a human who could call animals hmm? Where did you say you were from again?"
Damn! Why are the hot ones always so smart? She is about a second away from revealing me and then I’m going to become chopped liver!
"That’s enough Sylvie." Richard ordered.
Yes! I can always depend on a wolf (Most of the time) I don’t care what people say Richard, you’re cool in my book.
"Why are you doing this Sylvie?" I asked confused "I thought we were friends?"
"Yes Sylvie? Why are you doing this?" Anita asked.
Sweet, now I got Anita defending me. Perhaps this will be a good day after all.
Sylvie gave her a dirty look "All those times we went there to eat, all those times we let our guards down thinking we could just be ourselves, The Zoo is the one place where we don't have to hold back, all that time and we thought we were safe, and at any time he could have ratted us out or used us like puppets, just like what the Black Forest clan did to the other packs."
Do I look dumb enough to black mail a bunch of shifters?
"I'm from Florida I have never been to Pennsylvania ." I lied.
"I was there." Kim said and all eyes turned to her, I noticed Andy was holding her hand comforting her. Maybe Kim’s almost abduction would bring them back together? "I woke up when he unleashed his power." She shivered "It was horrible like some leaving, breathing thing warm as the sun; I could feel it calling me, my beast, like a moth to the flame I couldn't resist and the smell like midsummer nights and sunflowers." She said.
"Uh that was me." I said.
Jason leaned next to me and sniffed me "Hey you do smell like that." He said and I swatted at him. Now isn’t the time for a joke Jason.
"I couldn't resist my beast was so enthralled, but I know David he is a good man, I know he would never do anything like that." she said to Sylvie, and I felt a pain of guilt. If only she knew.
I was however impressed with Kim. She was going up against a dominant shifter, giving her a look like that. Kim the meek was growing some backbone.
"Still there is a risk." Haven said "What if some ambitious shifter, or some vamp like Padma, learns of him? What will we do then when they use him against us?" He said.
Stupid lion; lions suck, and what is with the blue hair? Seriously what kind of gangster has blue hair?
"Like I said Rex the protection of the Werebats is open to him if he accepts." Drake said giving me a pointed look. It clearly said ‘Take the protection.’ But I wanted options before I went accepting offers like that. I was still uneasy about Drake and didn’t want to start owing anyone a favor because they gave me protection.
"Taken." I said raising my hand. On second thought some of the Alpha’s were pretty pissed at me.
"And we should just trust you Drake, After all these long years your kind just suddenly decide to become friendlier with those above the ground? Then all of a sudden this boy pops out of no where and he can call creatures and now you and him seem to be buddies, sounds like you’ve hit the jack pot Drake." Haven said. I was getting fed up with everybody calling me boy; I had a name it was on my fake I.D.
"What are you implying Rex?" Drake said giving Haven a hard glare.
I wondered who would win if Drake and Haven got into a real fight? That would be interesting, Drake may be on the scrawny side but everyone said how bad ass the Bats are and Drake is their leader.
"Implying? I'm saying that the only reason you want to protect him is so you can drag him down under the ground, Sylvie was right any were group no matter how small and weak could be the most dangerous threat if this boy joined them." Again with the boy?!
"He is not Padma, and he is not ambitious enough for such a thing, for god sakes he's a waiter, and a zoo keeper." Richard said.
"So what you don't think he could be turned just because he can call animals? He calls us like a master, imagine what he would be like if he ever became a master vampire. Or if one of us decided to claim him for themselves." Haven said. I noticed a small glint in his eyes and I paled. I had seen a glint in someone’s eye's like that before. It was a glint of ambition, of possibility and much to my discomfort he wasn't the only one with that look. Haven was saying what he was thinking, just in a way that made him look innocent of any such thoughts.
Anita noticed it and so did Richard and Jean-Claude "It's illegal to deliberately infect someone Haven." Anita said.
"I could accidentally trip on him." Haven said with a nasty grin.
"Be careful with your words Rex, those words can be seen as a threat." Drake said.
"Yeah like I’m the only one thinking it." Haven said waving an arm to the other were leaders.
He was right. If one of the weaker groups decided to use me they would definitely move up a couple of notches in the shifter hierarchy.
"Narcissus wish's to inform those present that the Hyena's place David Kazat under his protection" Ixion said.
People looked shocked at what he said. Jean-Claude looked grim "Narcissus has been listening to us through you hasn't he Ixion?" he asked.
Ixion nodded. "As you know my Oba can communicate telepathically with the his hyenas, he can also use us as an extra pair of eye's and ears, he would like to personally meet young David, privately to discus business." He said.
Shit, shit, shit, shit....shit now Narcissus Bondage King/Queen extreme is after me. "And what business would Narcissus wish to discus with monsieur David?" Jean-Claude asked.
"I am not at liberty to give full details, but as everyone knows since Asher gained hyenas to call it has made my Oba very nervous, then when he refused to make him his animal to call it did not help to elevate his fear that Asher would try to take control of his clan, My oba hopes to make a ally of young David to help prevent any future take over." He said.
"As I have told Narcissus myself I have no intentions to take over the Oba's." Asher said.
"Maybe, but either way Narcissus sees great potential in this young man, Narcissus would like to see what he is capable of to the full extent."
"You see." Haven said "What did I tell you already it's a race to gain the boys favor."
That’s it I had enough "Listen I'm twenty-one, so enough of this boy crap!" I said angrily, and I felt my power pulse through the shields. "I don't care how interested any one of you are in me, when I said I had no intentions to get involved with shifters I meant it, the only reason I work at the Zoo's is because if I don't use my powers often enough, they use themselves, working at the zoo's lets me use it enough where it won't be a problem, but besides serving you all food at work that’s all any of you are going to get out of me." I said glaring at them all. But especially Haven.
"Damn, you do have some balls underneath all that nice boy charm." Sylvie said with a grin.
I glanced at Sylvie and smiled. But that was all have he needed. Suddenly there was a rush of energy, I smelt the heat of the savanna and when I looked at Haven his eyes had bled to lion.
"Have stop!" Anita screamed but it was too late.
I felt/saw Havens beast spring forth like Meng-die's had. It struck me entering my body. I could feel it inside me clawing at my insides trying to get out. I knew what he was doing, some alphas were capable of calling the beast of a fellow were, it was a rare ability, if I had been a shifter I would have shifted.
But I wasn't a shifter I was human, I felt Drake unleash his metaphysical power and it hit me like a ton of bricks, soon all the shifters had raised there powers waiting for a fight.
"David!" Anita screamed and all eyes turned to me "Your eye's are like a lions?" she said sounding puzzled.
Of course they were. Haven was trying to force feed me his lion; he was trying to show me as a weakling. Trying to show how utterly helpless I was.
I did the only thing I could. I unleashed my power. In my mind I was in a vast African plain. There before me stood a lion, Haven’s lion. His beast shoved in my mortal body, but I was more then mortal. I was an ark waiting to be filled. He sought to control me like in the real world where he could beat me into submission. But in a game of shifter-metaphysics I was more than capable of holding my own.
I called that power forth from my ark. When I shielded, I always imagined the ark from the bible, the one Mosses built. Only there was one beast in this ark. One very, very, big and nasty beast.
It had no real form, even in my head it was abstract. It had no form but then it had every form. It had fangs, teeth, claws, wings, tusks, horns, eyes, flippers, arms, legs, fur, scales, ears, feet, mouths, hooves, tails, armor, and manes and yet it had none of those. It was as old as life itself, yet it was only sixteen years old.
I opened the gates of my ark and my beast came forth. It took the form of the invader; another dared enter our territory, an unwelcome invader in our jungle, now it was our meat.
That formless being came to stand next to me in the form of a mighty lion. It was completely black except for its mane which was a golden yellow. The lion snarled and roared at us. It was afraid, the lion was unknown, it was stronger, faster, and smarter. It knew this and it was afraid.....good we like fear, fear tastes good. We struck at the lion, it fought back but soon, like Meng-Die's wolf, it was devoured. We liked our chops savoring the meal, it was a strong lion, and it fought well.
It took its formless body and sauntered back into the ark and I shut the great wooden doors. And with that I came back to reality, Drake was above me, he's dark eye's full of concern.
"You still have lions eye's, you smell like lion, but you are not lion." He said. I felt a pain in my palms, I looked and saw that in my pain I had dug my nails into my palm drawing blood. Drake took my hand looking at the blood with rapt attention "May I?" he asked and I nodded. He brought my hand and licked the blood off.
"Do I taste different?" I asked.
"Yes, like a lion but not a shifter? What are you?"
"I don't know but I’m still human more or less." I said.
"Not by much." I heard Haven say.
I got to my feet with some help from Drake and looked around. Many of the Alphas were standing up looking at me with rapt attention. Many of the guards had there guns out, but many were looking at me waiting for orders. I wondered if I ordered them to shoot Haven would they? Best not find out.
"What happened?" Anita asked; she had her gun out pointing in the air.
"I fed him my beast." Haven said.
More like force fed.
"You can't turn him he's not shifter." Richard said.
"No but he acts like one, look at his nails they’re bleeding like a shifter before they shift, but he ate my beast I was there." He said looking angry.
"You saw it didn't you?" I asked and he nodded. "That was my power Haven, what I’ve had to live with every second of every day, you felt it as it tore you apart, its rage, and its hunger. Imagine having to live with that all your life, imagine being a child and being attracted to all sorts of creatures, imagine that you could communicate with animals, imagine that everyone from your neighbors to your own father thought you were possessed by the devil, my father took me to a church one time and had a priest perform an exorcism on me once behind my mothers back. I’ve been one giant beacon for natural and supernatural beasts all my life, and it's brought me and my family nothing but pain and suffering, do you really think I want to be involved in your politics now?" I asked.
"No" he said. I could feel you in there somewhere underneath all that primal instinct. I know now your intentions aren’t as bad as we all thought, as penance for my actions the lions offer you protection." He said.
No way in hell, after what he just pulled?
"As do the rats," Rafael said "You control most of the guards right now young one, I know that all you would have to do is give the order and there would be a blood bath, but you don't. You as you said only wish for a peaceful life, the Rodre withdraw their grievance with you." He said.
"As do the Bears."
"As do the cobras."
"The swans never had a grievance, but I must confess this is terribly interesting." Donovan said.
I looked at him and I thought one thing fresh meat.
"You’re under the lion influence right, I look like food right." Donovan said.
"Sorry it will fade soon." I said. It had happened when Peg trained me. I had to swallow the beasts of other wolves and the results were the same. For a while my eyes would bleed to wolf and I would temporarily get wolf instincts. This was the first time I ever took in a lion. It hadn’t happened when I took in Meng-Die’s wolf. She was a vampire with the power to call a wolf, but she wasn’t a wolf.
"This has happened before?" Drake asked.
"Yes."
"Then I must suggest you find someone who can help you control this power better, I sadly know of no one who can help you, but maybe Anita can give you some advice seeing how she has her own beast issues." He said.
"So we are all agreed that monsieur David is no risk to all of you." Jean-Claude said.
"Does he mean us risk no, but after seeing this power first hand, I think we must insist he does receive training." Christine said "He must be taught better control, such wild power is not well left unchecked." she said and there were many nods of agreement.
"What do you propose Christine?" Anita asked.
"He has said that if he doesn’t use his power enough then it goes wild. And since Haven has done such a wonderful job of making us all distrust each other." She said glaring at the Rex "I think he should spend a certain amount of time with each group."
"You think that is why this power is so irrational?" Richard asked.
"Well it's just a theory, but it's worth testing out, now since Haven has made it abundantly clear none of us is to be trusted with him, I propose that he have chaperones, like Anita and a few vamps or other shifters so no one tries anything sneaky." She said. "That way he can try feeding his power more and see if it will be more easy to control by having it eat more of our energy, and we won't worry about any shifters trying to as Haven said ‘Trip on him’ and have a new furry member join there ranks."
"And if it doesn't work?"
She shrugged "Doesn't hurt to try, but this little experiment may give us some insight on his power, and would give each group the chance to do there own little experiments with him to learn more on how his power works for themselves." She said.
"Oui it makes sense, but only if monsieur Kazat accepts." Jean-Claude said.
"And it has to wait till this crusader issue is settled." Anita said.
"And in the mean time some of you may donate some of your people to help us with his training." Jean-Claude said.
"What about my jobs? I still want to work at the zoo's." I said.
"You can still work there; we'll just have to send some body guards to keep an eye on you." She said.
"And how are the shifters we send supposed to help him? He has no risk of shifting, what are they supposed to do all day?" Rebecca asked.
"They can help assist us in training him of his abilities his powers are similar to lycanthropes, so maybe his powers are similar to shifter powers." Anita said.
"It is a sound plan" Jean-Claude said "Unless there are any objections?" there were none.
"Alright then ladies, gentlemen shall we call it a night?" he said. Then he turned to me "Jason will escort you back to your room, Me ma petite, and Richard will be in soon to talk." He said.
Jason and Drake helped me stand and Jason half carried, half lead me back to my room. The only reason I came to St. Louise to escape shifter politics. Now I was deeper then ever. I was under no delusion that the entire Alpha’s were ready to leave me alone; I was to valuable an asset to be tossed aside so seriously. I had a list of people whose protection I was under and I wasn’t too pleased about.
First Narcissus, I don’t want anything to do with him, but now he wants to talk about pack business with me? Second was Drake, he had been a good help so far but that little nagging voice in the back of my head was still sending warning bells. The dogs were ok but compared to the Lions or the Rats there protection didn’t offer much comfort. Haven may have offered the protection of the lions but after his little stunt I wasn’t going to accept it. Plus his history with Augustus the master of Chicago definitely made me want to stay away from him.
Besides I had enough protection offers already.
