Lost hope

NEW COMERS

Walking out to the truck, I see both our new passengers passed out. It must have been a lot. I couldn't imagine being in their positions. "You know, Niko, you got a lot of explaining to do, right? Faith is gonna flip s**t. We left as two and coming back as four possibly more if others show up." I scratch the back of my neck. Honestly, I think she'll be happy adding another female and a pregnant one at that. Mase, on the other hand, will be the on flipping s**t. You saw how he acted with faith. Imagine bringing back an alpha lycan. Haha yea well better you than me. I was just the yes man, and whatever you say, this is your circus."

Thanks man, glad I can count on you. I pulled out of the parking lot. I'm feeling a little bit relieved for the expansion but more pressure with the possible threat lurking in our backyard. I wonder what the hell faith is gonna do. Of course, Thor had to out his two cents in. She's gonna put your ass in the dog house, is what she's gonna do. If this lycan female does anything to put her in jeopardy, I won't hesitate to knock her down a few feet. You do realize she's a female with a pup, right? I won't allow you to do any harm toward a female. Of course, not you stupid human. I'm not that big of brute. mate can handle herself. If anything does happen, we are gonna go toe toe with Clean Cut Charlie hunnman back there.

What is your deal with lyncans anyway? Are you mad because they stand on 2 feet and half shift, or is it the fact they are stronger and have better senses? No dumbass. I don't like them because they wall around better than us and usually treat us like we are the mutts. You realize that once she marks us, we will be lycans too, right? maybe once we meet his wolf, he'll be as decent as he is. We can only hope if not. Two alphas are gonna be as Skylar called it a circus to put it nicely. Well, let's just get home and try to ease everyone into this. If i got to sleep in the truck because of you, I won't shift when you call on me. With the he lays back down in my mind with his back turned, mumbling more nonsense how he's gonna talk to Strom and make her see his side of things.

Looking towards my right, I see Skylar looking out the window deep in thought. Looking in my rear view, I see the new set of grey ones looking at me. "Your wolf has a very opioniated mind. What? you can hear him? yea, but that's just a few things. I have never been compared to Charlie hunnman. I guess it's a complement. Most people say Jack from SOA is a hero. He has every right to be uneasy. My mate will cause no harm to yours. you said she has a pup? she's pregnant with twins, actually. Seems afraid of your mate, though. I don't blame him. I'm afraid of mine as well. I appreciate you giving us a chance. I will do what I can to help. I appreciate it artameis, does your wolf have a name? his name is zues. really? mine is Thor. " My mate, as you know, is a lycan as well. You'll meet her.

Haha, that's great. All of us have greek gods as names. My mate is named faith, her wolf is Storm. Star name is persaphone. You know, as well as I do, only those who we trust know our wolves' names. This is me putting out an olive branch. Same here. You might want to wake her up. We're about 5 minutes out. Did you get everything you wanted done? yea, we got the approval. I now own the whole town, plus permits to start building. Are you familiar? yea, actually, once the others arrive, they can help as well. That sounds good. Oh, artameis? yea? don't mind, Mase, he's my beta. He's very untrustworthy of new people. I apologize in advance. He won't attack, but if he would challenge, I understand. I have no intentions of fighting your beta. I'll let him blow off his steam. then explain our story.

Well, I guess we're about to find out. Pulling into our long drive with the gravel dust kicking up, I see all 4 of my friends on the porch . Mase his his arms crossed, leaning against the banister with his wolf's sunflower colored eyes staring at me. I mind link him to stay and to hear me out. Faith, Macie, and promise all have questioning looks on their faces. The 4 of us got out of the truck. "What the hell Niko mase asked? yoi left with Skylar and came back with 2 strays. Is your nose broke? Do you realize what the hell you brought with you? Mase ENOUGH! this is alpha artameis and star. I understand how you feel about strangers. right now we are going to go into the house. They will shower and rest if they choose. Afterward, we will sit down and discuss what happened while I went into town.

If you need to go for a run and relax. If not, please just come inside. This is bigger than all of us. He just hangs his head and says I apologize alpha. Welcome alpha artameis and star. It's just 10 years ago Mrs Mary huspand was killed by a rouge outsider, ever since then I don't trust anyone. I get it mase you are only protecting your pack. I hate to tell you, but with alpha Niko permission, this house and yard is gonna be very full soon. As he said, this is a discussion to have in the house. After that, we all walked into the house. Faith walks to the fridge, grabs water for star, and hands a beer for artameis. Hi, I'm faith, zniko mate. This here is promise mase mate, and Macie Skylar mate. You already met Mase and Skylar. Star, would you like to follow me upstairs? I'll show you where the showers are. I'll also get you a change of clothes.

I trust you boys will behave yourself, and I expect everything to be the way it was when I come back down, you hear? a chours of yes ma'am were heard. Giving them the "I'm watching you eyes" I taker her upstairs. so star, this is where the towels, bath products, and everything you need are there. I say, pointing to said places. I'll be downstairs. the closet is over there. Please help yourself with anything you need. Take as long as you want. The spare room is across the hall, fresh sheets, and pillows are there. We're almost done remodeling. So I'm sorry if you see something that isn't finished. Thank you, faith. I really appreciate your hospitality. Anytime, sweetheart. I'll be downstairs.

Walking back downstairs, I feel the tension in the room pulsing off of Mase. Niko, "So why don't you show artameis the showers and get clothes for him? After this, we all will sit down and talk. Apparently, your day was really proactive. So I'm assuming with these two you weren't expecting, but knowing your heart, you are helping them? am I on the right path? yes, love. ok, right now, artameis, you look like you need need a shower like a flower needs to the rain. So Niko will show you the way. Oh, and artameis yes ma'am I'm glad Niko found y'all you seem like good folk. Thank you, ma'am." After they went to the guy side for shower, I gave Mase a hard glare. Care to tell me what's going on?

Faith, you do know they're lycans, right? lycan? yea, the stand on 2 and not 4 legs like us when they shift. They're untrustworthy beings. Why do you say that? have you ever met a lycan? well, no? have you saw a lycan shift? No. where are you going with this faith? what I'm saying is don't judge something you don't understand. I AM A LYCAN! they been through hell. So far, the only ignorant and disrespectful person here has been you. Promise set her hand on his arm. I agree with faith, babe. We need to hear them and our alpha out. He's not going to put us in danger.
