Luca smiled at her acceptance of his request, since he felt it was the best alternative. Why add to their dislike of her by proving that they could rile her up. While he was sure she could handle insults hurled at her, insults tossed his way might break that cool control of her's. He gave her an affectionate brush on her cheek, looking to tease her with mention of a reward for them both behaving, but it was cut short by a voice nearby. "Lulu?!" The excited shout made him tense as he looked back to see a slightly younger wolf pair, the female and male twins looking eerily like most here with their dark hair and blue eyes. It seemed to be a dominant trait in the Hunt family. Luca fortunate only got the blue eyes while he retained his mother's blonde. "Vanessa and Vaughn. Lovely..." He said through a gritted smile as they perched closer. "These are a pair of the cousins dad mentioned. They can be...eccentric." He told Feyra gently as Venessa reached Luca and gave him abig hug. "Lulu! Oh it's so good to see you're well." Vanessa chimed and Luca gave her a small nod. "Yeah doing just great--" "I hear your doing great with new position and leaving the bachelors life." Vaughn's eyes went right to Feyra and he gave a pleasant smile. "You must be the wife everyone is gossiping about. Hm, I expected more blood and ghastly fangs." He teased, but winced when that got a low growl of warning from Luca. "Come now, cousin. It's only a joke. I was merely saying your wife is lovelier than the rumors that proceed her." He gave a small extending of his hand. "It's very nice to meet the new member of our family. Even if I'm sure the newness of it all must be intimidating..." He stated and Vanessa gave her brother a bump of her hip. "Don't mind him. We are so glad to see more of your kind in formal society rather than cooped up in your coffins all day. Ah let us know if it's too bright in here for you. I'm sure the staff could be notified." The thinly veiled racism was clearly there, more out of ignorance than malice it would seem... ~~~~~ Othello realized he would have to be more specific and decided to speak up. It seemed Viatas didn't understand the gravity of this situation. At this point, it was either join or stand against and Othello already tried rebelling against it. It's what got his son slaughtered. "You are strong by name and by the station. Your blood of an Elder gives you quite a bit of power and at least the illusion that you are Elder Anabella's successor. The house of White was the only house to survive the great war because of its fierce leaders. Without Lady Anabella White our kind would have fallen into obscurity or servitude beneath human or werewolf kind. The symbolism of the house of White still carries now. Why else has no one openly attacked your house as of to date?" He stated clearly and concisely before deciding to move on. "Curiosity is all I ask for. To be honest, this information is sensitive, but I would not reach out to you if I didn't think you deserved the information." He said as he folded his hands before him. "I am a part of a group that is actively trying to fix the problems going on in this city through different means. Some are more radical than others, but a few of us believe that a unified front under a being more powerful than ourselves could lead to the changes we wish to see...We have tried to fix this world peacefully and it's only caused more bloodshed and death. We could change things if we get more powerful people on our side. Think of the influence yo uhold of Feyra and from there the Hunt pack. It would be nice if this could all be resolved peacefully..."

Fey was happy that Lulu seemed happy that she would and could behave, even if he were insulted. The voice calling Luca's childhood nickname made a brow raise and her eyes move to the voices. When Luca muttered names, and that these had been the pair to keep Luca somewhat social she put on a practiced smile. As they interacted , Fey allowed it since this was family. When Vaughn teased her she actually chuckled. "Indeed. I do try to look decent in public." She joked back to counter the tension that Luca was throwing up over the teasing. She wasnt feeling threatened bur humored here honestly. As the twins started yammering away, she shook the boys hand. "We don't actually sleep in coffins. And the lights are just fine. Besides If I were bested by the brightness setting on a light- I would make for a poor guard captian." She stated with some humor, a hand on Luca's arm. •°~~~°••°~~~°••°~~~°••°~~~°• As othello started to explain his meaning, he focused on the words, wondering what he was talking about honestly. At the observation on why none dared attack his house made him nod since he knew that, that and the elder promised personally to handle any that did. A scary prospect. As things shifted to information he gave a nod since this was what Othello thought to bring up to him. The concept of a group that was leaning towards radical made his brow rise in slight question but waited till the man was done. "I'm sure this 'being' that is stronger then us is older and I'm not sure something with age is the best here old friend...but I do follow an Elder most days so I'm sure it won't be too far an adjustment." He joked to ease some tension in the room. "In regards to Freya and the Hunt pack, I hold no influence. Truth be told the Elder likes her more then myself. The Hunt pack keeps things seperate often, unless Luca feels it neccessary to brief me on matters I have a meeting for. He only comes directly to spend time with his wife." He explained to him truthfully. "However, if this being- if they can help me get what I want by slaughtering that good for nothing cult of humans- without causing war with them, you might have my support. My main focus at this time is June and my unborn child. My house suffers under this reflection but a long life isnt a life at all without the woman I love with me." He stated truthfully and softly clearly admitting he was neglecting his duties, as he were worried for a human.

Luca noted Feyra took it all in stride even if it irritated him. He disliked the ignorant comments, but knew he would have once believed this all had he not met Alarik and later Feyra. The touch to his arm made him place an arm around her, not minding the looks as he enjoyed that close proximity. Vanessa seemed to catch the move and gave Luca a wink. "Oh dear cousin, we have no desire to upset her. We just wish to get to know her. After all, this is the first time a vampire has dared to get close to the Hunt pack." Vanessa said before her brows furrowed at Feyra. "How is it your a guard captain? I thought most vampires were impervious to much? Why would you need guards? Also isn't that unsightly for the wife of an Enforcer? You should be more political dear. It's far more entertaining than swinging weapons around." Vanessa added which made Vaughn give a tisking look. "She can't be political because then that looks like she's undermining Luca. Besides, would you trust the word of a vampire as a traditional wolf house? No no I find it fscinating she can fight. I heard a rumor she bested one of the Falk pack members at the Solstice." Luca was unsure of where they were going with this so he simply gave a raise of his brow. "Feyra is a guard captain because she's excellent at her job. Hell, she could probably kick my ass if she wanted to. Her job is important so she maintains that position in her home." He said and Vanessa made a face. "But the house of white is always about elegance. Blood is hardly elegant Lulu." She stated since she had her own opinions about what a woman's role was. ~~~~ Othello noted that Viatas was parrying his words, as he expected, with trivial matters. Always one to argue instead of just listen. It was what dug him in this hole in the first place. When he mentioned that this course of action wasn't wise, Othello's brow arched at him. The joke about the Elder got no laugh from Othello, since he knew all too well that this thing was much stronger than an elder and was more terrifying. An elder helped create it...The news that he had no say in the Huntpack business was a shame. Soon they would bend to what this creature wanted and he was trying a last ditch effort to see if this all could be resolved without force. As they spoke, such force was swiftly approaching...But no matter, it sounded like Viatas held no use. If he lost the Elder's favor, wasn't keen on being rid of her, and would prefer to turn a blind eye and shirk his duties then he could not be helped...That was sad to Othello but he knew time was of the essence and he needed people he could trust and reach out to to see this cause either stopped or to succeed. "Oh the cult will be handled. Those that do not serve a member that has infiltrated them will perish and those that submit will not be the same brotherhood you know. So am I to understand you feel you hold no power or sway here? That, pardon my bluntness, you feel like this offer isn't something you could take because you don't wish the responsibility?" He asked getting to the heart of the issue instead of playing around.

When the twins were trying to be nice- in their own way, she gave a smile to them. As Luca explained for her hwy she was still the guard captain she gave a smirk to the comment of kicking his ass. When Vanessa stated that her house was always about elegance she shook her head,"No, not elegance. Our house is a war house. If you wish elegance- you might look into Griffith or imperi." She stated since really to everyone else it might have looked like elegance but it wasn't by any stretch if the means. •°~~~°••°~~~°••°~~~°• When Othello cut the fluff talk and got to the heart of the issue he pursed his lips. "I hold sway, Freyra holds some sway in the pack dynamic as a member- through her marriage. If needed she can speak with Luca, she might disagree so I can not speak for her. This is my house, the responsibility is mine whether I wish it or not." He stated since he was slightly frustrated right now, Othello asking If he were truly useless. "If the cult can truly be curtailed...and depending on the status of June, I will think about the offer." He stated a bit more calmly since he was aggravated, and attempting to keep his Pheromones to himself.

Vanessa gave a giggle at Feyra's talk and gave her cousin a wink. "I like her. War. Hah." She then gave a gesture for them to follow. "Well, come along, after dinner we must talk more." She led them to a grouping of tables that were around the main table at the head of the room. Luca excused them from the twins and made a face as they went towards the table in the front of the room. "I told you they are alot." He said before he felt his hackles still raised at a few of the eyes still on him in the room. He knew they were looking for anything to say, any remote slip up or problem and he wasn't going to give it to them. "At least dinner will be quick. Remus just have to give a speech and then we can eat and go." He muttered with a small smile and then a kiss to her cheek. "Then we're home free and I can see just how good you look under this dress too." He teased, even if it earned him a glare from a wolf nearby that seemed to have heard. ~~~ Othello sighed, knowing now that this effort was going to waste. Viatas was still trying to be logical and that sort of time to think things over was not something they had the luxury of. But, he couldn't press the issue and wouldn't. He needed to be sure Viatas understood what he was getting into before it all came crashing down. "I understand and yes, the cult will be curtailed. I pray for June's swift recovery...And perhaps can look into help for her should the need arise. I've gained quite a few very powerful allies as of late. Some with interest in magic..." He stated vaguely before he gave a bow. "I apologize if I offended. I've had little sleep lately over my son's passing by those monsters in the Brotherhood and my father's intervention...It has left me less amicable I'm afraid." He said to help the situation perhaps and to show he wasn't angry with Viatas.

As the twins seemed humored by her own responses, she felt she handled these 'cousins' well, even if the concept was strange, they seemed willing enough to accept her. Following the group in, she ignored the dirty looks she received and stayed by Luca. As they headed to the front of the room as the immediate family of the enforcer she felt a little nervous, though his words on the cousins made her chuckle. "I rather like them." She responded smoothly since she liked the quirky batch. At the quick itinerary for the dinner she gave a curt nod, since she didn't like Luca feeling akward. The kiss to her cheek was comforting as she let out a breath and relaxed next to Luca since they both were big kids and would be fine. At the dress comment she blushed a little but smiled. "You have your self a deal. " she chuckled as they moved to take a seat, she did see Remus and Lupin but wasnt sure if they would say hi or not.
•°~~~°••°~~~°••°~~~°•
At the apology, Viatas seemed to hesitate before he seemed to let his more aggravated mask go, a more sympathetic expression take hold of him. "Thank you. Truely. What happened to Alarik was horrible and I can
understand how that might make you feel. No offense is taken, no worries Othello. I do know you harbor a similar hatred as I would to the cult, even over our past of trying to be peaceful...this action was too far and I'm afraid honestly. I will speak with you again on this offer. I know I may seem critical and over skeptical at times but I'm just honeslt worried about my future." He muttered at the end being completly honest with Othello- since he felt he could be so with Erika maybe Othello would be similar.

They took their seats at the head of the table where the main family was to sit. Remus of course took front and center as the leader of the family. The wolves gathered at their tables, all rising to watch as the Alpha gave his speech. Some passed leery looks at the vampire standing at the head table, while others snubbed their noses at the whole thing. But none would dare go against Remus’s authority. He stood there with a glass of champagne in hand, the glass looking dainty in his large hand. “Welcome pack members and family alike. Our pack has withstood the testaments of time and hardship to rise victorious on the other side. We stand here not a fractured pack like so many around us, but one strong with roots that ground us firmly in tradition. But in that tradition is room for growth. While many may see growth as a weakness, I have come to admire it in its strange forms.” He then gestured to Luca and Feyra, his expression softer than it had been before. “My nephew and his wife have shown me a grave error I have made in my thinking. Our people need to move forward if we plan to survive long in this world. Moving forward means burying our hatchets and finding compromise with the vampire clans and the witches.” Murmurs broke out over the group, but one snarl from Remus silenced them. “I was chosen as your leader because I sought to protect you all. Trust me as I make these decisions not lightly, but in the best interest of our people.” He raised his glass, his hand high as others followed suit. Luca was admittedly shocked by this turn of events, but smiled a bit brighter at his uncle’s words. “To the Hunt pack!” Everyone raised their glasses and took sips from their glasses. However, Luca noted something...odd about his drink. It tasted bitter, too bitter. He pulled away from it, unable to help that he immediately spat it back into the glass to keep from gagging. “What the—“ Before he could finish, people around the room started spitting up their drinks and gagging violently. Everyone looked confused and some frightened. However, nothing drew more fear than seeing Remus collapse to the ground in the chaos. “Uncle?!” Lupin shouted, as he went to Remus’s side. However, before Luca could move Luca’s legs buckled under him. Why was he suddenly so dizzy? Romulus stuck a hand out and caught him, his hand tightening on Luca’s jacket. He was sweating profusely, looking I’ll himself but still standing. “The champagne I think it was poisoned. Wolfsbane—“ Romulus was cut off by the lights in the building cutting out, leaving everyone swallowed in darkness. While the wolves could see vaguely, their senses were dimmed by the poison in their system. Feyra would be aware and vigilant as the sounds of movement were around them. She could see black armored people moving in the darkness, including one right behind Luca who was now shaking and looking pale. She would see the shine of a blade being produced, the silver sheen alighting in her vision before the blade lashed out to strike... ~~~~~~ Othello heard his thanks and wished Viatas’s could be told to take it back. He certainly didn’t deserve it. His phone buzzed in his pocket and he realized that already the attack had begun. Damn it, he had begged them to give him time to convince Viatas...To listen to reason...but he couldn’t allow more suffering for indecision. He could only move forward with what they had. “I promise you Viatas, your fears for the future will be forgotten. I felt them once myself until I found an answer that suited me. A thing to soothe that pain in my life. I am here for you if you need me, my lord. Please...Don’t hesitate to call upon me.” He rose, offering Viatas an extended hand. “To our future and may it see the peace out afterlife should have promised us.”

When Remus began speaking she paid attention, holding her glass that was on the table for them to toast with it seemed. As he mentioned them, she blushed a little but havw the large werewolf a warm smile. She did like him, he was no bullshit and took care of his family, she liked that in a leader. That made her mind swerve into the odd place of if she hadnt been sworn into her house, would she have found Luca and would she be a proud human In the pack with him? She shook her head a brief second to dispel that idea since things were well past that what if. Her attention returned when Remus snarled, gaining everyone's attention again. As he stated he was chosen to make the best choices ans trust him She nodded and rose her glass, watching Luca do the same. Feyra took a sip of her drink and it made her Nose scrunch, it was very bitter. She however felt her nerves drop into her stomach when Luca spat his out as many others on the room were doing or seemed to be choking. She dropped the glass and moved to hold Luca up, so he didnt fall but she heard Remus fall, hearing Lupin call out in shock and fear. Much of the room was in that state but she was ready for these types of situations... even if it were only for the Vampire houses. She almost coudnlt hold up Luca, she was glad to have Rhomulus there to help her. He was heavier then he had been before since he had been going through a growth spurt again. She did her best to listen to her father in law as he spoke about the poisoned champagne, making her frown. However her attention was diverted when the lights cut out. Her senses became hyper aware in the dark room, hearing not only the shuffle of commotion but heavy boot falls? Her mind was trying to quickly process what was going on however her eyes snapped behind her when she heard a blade being drawn. Feyra immediately went into attack mode. 'No one touched her family.' She though as she gave herself over to the more violent side of her mind- the side that wanted to protect- the one that was trained to kill. Jumping into action she swiftly knocked the blade out of the way and ripped the mans' wind pipe from his body with her mouth, before effectively moving onto the next one. She would leaving informing everyone else of an attack to Rhomulus, like they would belive the vampire anyhow.... •°°~~°°•°°~~°°•°°~~°°• Viatas nodded, shaking the hand. " Indeed. I will think on the offer again." He stated softly showing his truest emotion of fear since honestly he was scared. As Othello was escorted out he gave a huff and went to request to go to the hospital, slipping out of the house easily enough with another guard Feyra had suggested while she was out.

The witch hunter barely stood a chance as Feyra ripped into him, dropping him like a bloody sack to the floor. The sound of gurgled screams were met by others, attacks striking out in multiple directions in the dark. Hunters were finding their targets and killing without abandon. Wolves began shifting but clearly the beasts were hampered by the poison in their system. A few got ahold of hunters and tore into them but it wasn’t enough to stem the tide of attacks. This was clearly a plotted effort to catch the wolves at their worst. Luca snarled and shifted alongside his father, quickly taking up the task of defending Remus who was being tended to by Lupin and Maggie. Feyra could handle herself so the men simply began taking people out that got close to the table. Before much progress could be made, the double doors to the room erupted open and in walked a cloak clad figure trailed by the familiar and strange demon from before. Luca gave a snarl and headed for the person, roaring out at them with a paw raised to strike. The figure seemed nonchalant and uncaring as they removed the hood, stopping the wolf mid swing. Luca’s hand dropped and his wolfish features twisted in confusion. “Elijah?” The name was almost unintelligible from the wolf’s throat, but it was clear to the room that he knew the male witch standing there. It was odd however, this looked like Elijah in all his cocky glory but it smelled off. Like death. Elijah’s eyes twinkled with humor as he raised a hand, flipping Luca off in his face. “Try again, Mutt.” He said with a teasing and flirtatious tone that sounded too sickeningly sweet in his purring voice. The finger sparked with a sickly greenish spell that traveled over the room, illuminating the frenzy of fighting in the darkness. Luca stumbles back as tendrils of freezing cold energy hit corpses of wolves and hunters alike around them. Soon, those bodies began to rise, their undead bodies jolting around in strange patterns. “Shit!” Luca went back towards Feyra, gesturing to Remus’s body before he went with his father to pick the unconscious and critical man up. They had to go and that was clear enough to Feyra that they needed a clear path out.

Feyra was helping get a rather large hunter away from the twins shw had come to like as of that evening, blood all over her face, her mouth a black red as her teeth and chin were coated in the blood of the now dead. When the door opened and in walked a human smelling of death magic and the demon from that night at the compound she stiffened a little. She shifted back to avoid any sort of contact. Her eyes went a little wide when Luca got close and seemed to want to beat the life from it bur his hesitation made her pause. When she hears Luca speak his missing friends name she frowned, this wasn't his friend. Not anymore. As the being confirmed her bad thoughts, shs moved into action maocing to Luca and nodded to him, knowing they needed out of there and now. She felt the hair on her arms stand up, having felt Elijiah do this spell or something like it at the solstice but this was a new and frightening feel to it. She was never a fan of magic, this was one very good reason. Feyra made motion for them to take him towards the back. Since there was a larger window in the back room they could get though without risking further injury. She made sure both Maggie and Lupin follow, since she liked them, they were her chosen family. She didnt look back into the room as they left, feeling almost a sting from the relation that Luca had with his once friend...that demon however...Elijiah wasn't his witch before... •°~~~°••°~~~°••°~~~°• Viatas made it to the hospital in time to be informed that they were going tk attempt surgery to relieve the pressure on her brain and perhaps fix what needed to be done as far as internal bleeding to save both mother and child. He of course insisted he speak with June first, to see if that was what she wishes. They informed him he had a short time to speak before she needed to be either put back under to keep the stress down or into surgery. He was serious as he entered to room, looking at the swollen and bruised looking human, smelling of sickness and death oddly- she was dying and V couldn't do anything. Jume gave him the softest of smiles before he came forward, coddling her hand that he had access to. He cherished this woman and it obvious he was upset. "V, I love you." Shw stated softly, voice hoarse from the lack of use over the last few weeks. He gave a hushed nod,"and I you, my love, they said they were going to do surgery, to help relieve the pressure. You will be fine." He stated softly looking unconvinced but attempted to hold himself together enough as Tears were already coming from his eyes. "If it fails, save our child." She stated softly to him getting a flinch from the House lord. "I can't live with out you June." The tone he had was pleading in his voice as she gave her a lost look. She gave him another soft look. "You will, take care of our child. Please, it's what I want." She stated, before the monitor attaches to her stated beeping a bit more to show the stress and pressure was piling and she needed to be prepped for surgery. They showed Viatas from the room, getting June to sign more papers, more for the surgery. She of course signed a requested form to save the child over her life. It was something her ans Erika has spoken about before, when she had been asked how much she wished to keep the child. Viatas woundlt know till afterwards but she knew he would get over her choice in this and Love their child... Viatas watched as they swept her out and into the surgery wing, he wasnt aloud, so he waited in the room, clearly a wreck as he were stressed and had no one to lean on with this. Feyra was busy with her own issues tonight and anyone else would say the child was an issue. He sat in the room and tried to console himself, however it hadnt even been an hour into the surgery before a nurse came to speak worh him, the doctors following with the mothers' wishes... :•~•°•~•:•~•°•~•:•~•°•~•: A letter would soon be delivered from Viatas to Othello, a few simple words scribbled in a shakey hand,'I accept your proposition.' With his signature, tears on the page as it had been sent. He was still in the hospital sitting by the body of his lover- dead, a sheet covering her form to hide the bruising and discoloration from all the trauma that surfaced. The child was in the pediatric ward being seen to as they child was still a few weeks early, but not unhealthy. He wasn't responsive currently and not in a good place, clearly by the aura that hung over the room as he sobbed and grieved for the woman he loved.

Luca ignored the pull of fear that went through him at seeing Elijah unlike himself. He was afraid but he couldn't be infront of his wife and family. Instead he focused on supporting Remus's dead weight out the window. They emerged into the forest floor, where some wolves scrambled to get the hell away from the gore of the scene. They were able to make it to a car, even if Luca and Romulus looked bitterly ill once they dropped their wolf forms. Luca was pale and sweaty, having to pause to vomit outside the car as his father fought through it to get his brother in the backseat. Maggie took to the drivers side while Lupin stayed in the back with his father. It was a harrowing drive back to the compound, but they made it out safely despite themselves. A heavy silence filled the cab of the car and only spread when they reached the compound and the clinic there. Remus was unresponsive by the time they arrived and Luca and his father were looking worse for wear. Thankfully, with a few injections and some fluids, they seemed to get the mess out of their system with some well placed heaving. Luca was currently sitting on a plush chair outside of Remus's operating room, holding Feyra close in his lap as he waited for the news. "Everything okay at home? They didn't attack your people too?" He asked her as he held Fey a bit tighter despite his limbs feeling weak. He gave a huff, burying his face in her shoulder. "The witches are working with whatever that demon thing is that the brotherhood was helping kill my people. They...betrayed us...and Eli...I don't know what that was but it didn't smell like him." He told her gently as he was sure she learning that herself now. ~~~ Othello received the missive, his expression dimming as he knew already what this was about. His heart hurt deeply for the man, knowing the pain of losing someone you loved dearly. He still felt tears brimming over his lost son..."Erika..." His sister emerged, her expression similarly green as she just received news of the chaos going on at the Hunt meeting ground. How...could her brother condone something like this? She gave him a sterner look, taking the paper and recognizing Viatas's hand writing. "It is done...Let the others know." He stated to her and Erika didn't respond, simply walked from the room to mask the anger in her expression.

Freya had to say she did not enjoy this family gathering, not with the assassination attempt on her newer family. She was pleased that Luca was fine, even if he was a little rough a bit ago. Sitting outside the surgery area waiting for news on his uncle. Alpha Remus had gone unresponsive and she felt nervous about that honestly, but was glad Rhomulus was okay. Her mind jumped back to what Luca was saying when his voice came out to the hallway. When asked about her home she shrugged," Things seem fine, dont worry about them right now." She stated pulling her arms a little tighter and giving his cheek a kiss since she was worried. At his mind trying to process what was going on she shook her head lightly. "That thing was not Elijiah. Not your friend. It smelled of death and unnatural things. I'm sorry love but I Dont belive that is who they look like anylonger." She explained softly to Luca since really she was worried he would be upset he lost yet another friend. •°~~~°••°~~~°••°~~~°• Viatas stayed at the hospital a while, not answering his phone, or responding. The guard was confused and stayed outside the door, feeling the uncomfortable pressure from the house lord and their feelings. It wasn't until a few hours passed that Lord white was taken back to the manor, and in seclusion. Many were confused but The guard Captian wasnt avaliable so Jeremiah stepped up stating the lord had a bad day and was needing time to morn, the house of course understood but not having the usual guidance was disconcerting to some.

Luca's mind was caught somewhere between aware, exhausted, and afraid. Every time he blinked he saw death, the same death that plagued his mother's people and took his first home from him. Now, something was threatening his new pack, his new home...What's worse was it wore the face of an ally. A friend. Luca felt his throat tighten, his expression darkening briefly as he remembered the thing...whatever that was...that attacked him and his father. The undead, unnatural thing that Freya pointed out. She was right, there was no way that thing was Eli. But then what was it and why did it somewhat smell like him. It was all just...a lot. His head drooped and his eyes fell closed as he leaned into her cold. It was becoming soothing to him in the later days of their marriage. Even her scent was no more a bother to him than cinnamon. But still, even Faye couldn't keep his emotions down. "Then...He's dead too." The words came out in a quivering voice, one that failed at the end and made him sink further into her. The first welling of tears came, despite him forcing them down with all his effort. He couldn't cry, not infront of his father and possibly his uncle. He had to be stronger than that... "But why? Why would it want to look like Eli and why would the witches side with that thing? They killed so many..." He shook his head, unable to help that his eyes began to illuminate and his canines sharpen. A clear sign that he was losing hold on his emotions. "And now my uncle...Fey if he's gone then the pack will go to hell. Lupin is the next Alpha and he isn't even old enough or trained for that sort of thing--then there is the issue of my father taking over instead--it's going to turn into a shit show." He said, his nerves clearly not getting any better.

•°~~~°••°~~~°••°~~~°• As Luca's emotions took a shift in a direction she didn't feel he needed to be handling right now, she pulled a hand through his hair to hopefully calm him. She knew he was a very attached man with his friends but she had a feeling perhaps the odd witch wasn't dead. After Alrick...she wanted to belive something nice for a change in all the death and political fallout. "I have a feeling be may yet live,the witches would have paraded the announcement around more if they caught a black practitioner." She stated softly, brushing his hair back and gave his forehead a kiss. As Luca went on about his worries about Pack life she listened, knowing this was important and could pose a huge problem if left unchecked. "I believe your uncle can pull through this. He's strong and old enough to have some form of resistance to it, well the dangerous effects anyhow. We are here to support your brother and your father if needed, you know I will do anything to protect my family, I'm not sure what these witches think they are doing but I'm not above putting thsm down for it if push comes to shove." She stated firmly giving Luca's forehead another kiss, feeling she wanted the contact as well. •°~~~°••°~~~°••°~~~°• Jeremiah frowned as be read over the reports on the wolf issues. Seems the boy decided to check out of reality over a humans' death, hardly a Good reason to him. With pursed lips he put the papers down and dialed Freya's phone, wondering what her status was since she hadn't checked in as of yet. When he got an answer ir was quick and a more firm tone. "This is Freya." She stated smoothly getting a small smile to appear on Jeremiah's face- she was a rock- ever reliable and level headed. "This is Elder Jeremiah's, I've reviewed the report on the incident, wanted to check in with you. Also it seems our little lordling has decided to shut down- over a human of all things." He stated as if he were brushing it off as he was. Freya frowned a little but knew she had to report in. "I am fine, I'm at the compound with the pack- the Alpha is being treated for poison. As for our house lord, Please excuse his behavior- he was rather attached to the human, I will see to his duties when I return to the house and handle the hospital debacle." She stated professionally since this was an elder. "Very well then, I am glad you are well, give your regards to your husband, the enforcer, as I'm sure he's near. I'm currently inquiring with the witches as to what the hell was going through their heads." He stated before hanging up since he had nothing further to say.

Luca let Freya comfort him, despite his stomach twisting and turning as she tried. She was always so kind, so smart, and so giving.... He shut his eyes as she played with his hair and kissed his forehead, making his control start to solidify. He could keep it together...for her and his family he could... "I...I hope you're right, about all of it. If Elijah's still out there then maybe we can save him...I remember he was somewhat close with that witch. The one that worked for Lady Annabella. As for Uncle Remus... Maybe we'll hear something soon. Dad has been in there a long time." He looked toward the door to the surgery suite, knowing his father was watching from a safe distance as the doctors rushed to save Remus's life. The problem was that wolfsbane was highly toxic to wolves and impossibly lethal in a high enough dose. To have rendered his uncle incapacitated that quickly worried Luca for just how much he ingested. Unable to let him mind go to that place, he instead took her face in his hand and gave her a more lasting kiss, sensing their mutual need for contact. His emotions were high and he felt like hiding away in her attention, but he knew that leaving wasn't an option. "I know you will support them. I just don't want you shoved in the middle of all this again." He winced when her phone went off, making him huff. "Figures they need you..." He listened to them talk and his brows pinched instantly when he heard her bring up Viatas's state and that she had to take things over. That wasn't much of a surprise as she had been the leader as of late anyways. When she hung up, he leaned in and gave her a raise of his brow. "Viatas alright?" He asked, missing that his brother had emerged, pale and freaked out. Lupin looked like he had something to say but the words weren't coming out. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As the lumbering bodies of the undead made their way through the room, killing the weak and gathering anything and anyone of value. The newly arisen Eudora watched the work, her eyes narrowing some at the surviving werewolves snapping at each other. "Pendragon!" She hissed, unable to help the fact that her voice sounded so masculine. She was pissed that Erasmus had given her the body of the boy, but the girl, the young Blake, had been thought dead. Her "death" made her blind to Eudora's will and only the boy had been available to complete the ritual. But no matter. She would be rid of this body soon when she dominated the universe and destroyed all those beneath her. Lilura Blake's power and mind would be her's soon enough.
The elder witch looked in her direction, his face pale and his eyes red as if he had been crying. The sight brought a cold fury to her, one that made her lips pull into a furious sneer. "Dry those eyes, boy. We have work to be done...Without the death of the few, we cannot save the many...Now, I want your people to take the survivors and tend to them. We will collect Lupin soon enough and he will do his part. I sensed the moment I saw Remus that he was not long for this world...Once this happens, we gather our forces and crush the House of White and its allies." She paused when a witch came up to the Grand Witch, stopping to lean in and speak with Pendragon. He seemed to tense and spared the witch speaking with him a more sullen look.
"Tell the House of White this was a retaliation for their handling of Is---my daughter's death and denied negotiations for Lupin's life. I have nothing more to say to the leeches..." He stated, making Eudora give a cackle before turning to Surro.
"And Surro...my lovely...I want Lilura...Bring her to me." Surro bowed his head and vanished, although Eudora could not read his hesitance...
