"The Werewolves got together. They talk about how to take down the Lion, once and for all" -- Karla Beato.

Richard's POV.

December 1, 2013. Duganson's southern family house -- 1:30 pm.

Brandon's uncle words replay into Richard's mind as he tries to grasp his mind around them. Richard's face is plain, no emotions seem to come on, he stares at Brandon. Brandon moves his long black hair out of his face staring at Richard "How is he dead? I see him right here" Richard tells everyone as he points to the window. Brandon's uncle tries to get closer to Richard, but he moves a few step back. A few of the muscular teenager moves out of the way "Listen, you are the Alpha... sadly when a pack member dies like this... they come to you" Richard holds onto the table behind him for support.

"How did he die?" Richard asks as all eyes where on him. He pulls himself together standing up looking at Brandon's uncle, "His heart was shred to pieces. We place his heart into his body, and Brandon's body is in the catacombs" Richard nods his head slowly "He isn't dead then" Richard tells them as everyone looking at him "If they didn't put fire to his heart then everything in his body is healing slowly" Brandon's uncle nods as everyone was amazed by Richard's words. Another group of wolves came from the back door "Good to see you, Alpha" One of them told Richard out of respect. They all sat around in front of Richard nodding to him as he nods to them.

"I would need a group to stay protecting Brandon's body while it heals" Richard tells them with a monotone in his voice. 3 females and 2 males from the group of trackers that came in -- They got up from the floor instantly "We can do it, Alpha" Richard nods to the trackers, but he stops them right away. They stare at him as they wait to listen to his words "Who did this to Brandon?" Richard ask angrily staring at the muscular teenagers. They were located a few steps behind the trackers. The teenagers stare at each others then at their Alpha "The blonde girl call him Jacob" One of them tells Richard as he couldn't make eye contact with him.

"Jacob, he was powerful than 15 of us. The only one that could transform into a wolf was Brandon" another of the teenager's tells Richard. Richard stares at him nodding, he waits for them to keep telling him, the teenagers were afraid to speak. Brandon sighs heavily looking at Richard "Speak up, we know you mess up already. There is no way to go back in time and change what happen" Richard tells them as the muscular teenager stare at the floor. The trackers turn around staring at them "They were a group of 4" Richard looks up weirdly at the teenagers "Odd, I only saw 3 people in my Alpha dream, from the deli all the way to the fight. There where only 3 people" Richard tells them as they all stare at him.

"No, Alpha. There was 4th girl, brunette, brown eyes, very pretty face" The other muscular teenager hit the one who spoke on the back of his head, "I am not kidding. She was really pretty, she had glasses on and she seem to be the youngest of the group" The muscular teenager finish telling Richard as he stares at them confuse. Richard ran his Alpha dream through his head, but he couldn't remember seeing a 4th member on the tourist group. Richard shakes his head placing his hands on his chin "If I couldn't see this mystery girl in my Alpha dreams then she is something out of the ordinary." Richard thinks to himself getting a look from Brandon.

"Keep going" Richard tells the muscular teenagers whom only nod to him, "This blond girl name was Loreine, she said something about Corestone. Jacob see--" The muscular teenager was interrupted by Brandon's uncle, "You attack the Corestone family? they were supposed to come to town one of this days" Brandon's uncle's voice was one of anger and regret. Richard stares at him then at the muscular teenagers. He gives a heavy sigh holding his head "If you guys where so stupid as to tailed in the day, and attack a big powerful family on the way then this is bigger than all of us combine" Richard tells them shaking his head continuously.

"I get it. I know see why Brandon needed me to be here" Richard mutters getting the wolves & trackers to stare at him, "I'll stay here to help. If anyone calls Brian, I will leave as soon as I appear" Richard warns getting everyone in the living room to nod. Brandon's uncle takes a seat holding onto his heart "I went out of the pack because of my family. This is so trouble some" the muscular teenagers stare at Brandon's uncle, "Why did you feel the need to tailed them in brought daylight?" He questions the muscular teenager whom only shake their heads.

"We couldn't figure out what Jacob was. He ate his food like any human in the deli. Loreine was feeding him extra. When they left he reek of dead, it was almost -- No, we were sure he wasn't human. He is a monster" Two of the muscular teenagers try to explain to Richard and everyone else. Richard stares at their eyes as they tell him the truth. Their eyes told another story, this teenagers where terrified, they could hardly get the words out. Richard only sighs as the trackers couldn't believe a being like that existed. 

"Jacob follows Loreine's every command" One of the muscular teenagers tells Richard. Richard stares at him confuse "What do you mean? If they are together I don't see the problem" Richard answers him back; however, the muscular teenager shakes his head. He moves away from the teenagers group walking up to his Alpha. Richard stares at him as he comes closer "Apart of them being together, there was another odd reason. We couldn't point it out, but she was the only one capable of calming him down." Richard nods continuously signalling the teenager to go take a seat again.

The trackers turn to look at Richard "If Jacob is a monster controlled only by Loreine then who are the rest?" Richard questions the muscular teenagers whom stare at him "He has more fighting experience than anyone we have seen. He was able to speed faster than we could see him" The trackers look behind at the muscular teenagers. They laugh out loud thinking that the teenagers where making this up. Richard stares at Brandon whom wasn't finding it amusing "Brandon isn't finding it amusing, guys. I think they are speaking the truth" The trackers shut up instantly.

As realization hit the trackers, if a being like that existed, what they were going to do. The muscular teenagers stare at Richard "Hana was the other female. She solo half of us shooting silver bullets to our heads" Richard nods counting only 5 muscular teenagers "Where is the rest of you?" The muscular teenagers look at each others then at Richard "Nobody could take the silver bullets, they seem to have a curse on them, plus the others are healing. They got to fight Jacob and as we saw it wasn't pretty" Richard nods to the muscular teenager.

"The Corestone's aren't as easy going as anyone thought" Brandon tells Richard as Richard sighs. Richard stares at Brandon's uncle "How do you know the Corestone's?" Brandon's uncle laughs uncontrollably for a solid 10 minutes. He calms down after another 5 minutes then look straight at Richard. Richard waits for him to speak up "The Corestone's family are one of the strongest apart of us Kennedy's" Richard nods waiting for him to keep going, "Their family is form of Sorcerers whom are allied with Vampires, and they are protected by anyone who is willing" Brandon's uncle takes the cup of water one of his nieces gives him.

He drinks half of it forming his words "Your father Richard, is trying to form a treaty with the Corestone's family. They came to us a few years ago planning to expand our college & school to other races" The wolves in the room whine & scream 'no way'. They were quick to show their discomfort to the horrible idea. Brandon's uncle gives them a smile "However, Richard's father agreed to this. They are coming to the school in a few days, kids" The wolves & trackers in the room got angrily off the floor. Richard couldn't believe what was said to him and his pack members. 

They would had to share the school, town & college with outsiders. Outsiders that harm one of his own. Richard stares at Brandon from the corner of his eyes. How is everyone going to manage that? What was Richard's father thinking? This school year wasn't going to be pretty.
