Lucas and Alyra traveled in the car for 3 weeks straight stopping at hotels along the way. Lucas knows leaving the mansion would be the hardest thing for Alyra, since she would only have him to help her when he could.
Lucas looked at Alyra and said "you don't have to be scared of me... I am here to make sure nothing happens to you, and give you the orders of your jobs. This is your new phone, and this is my number. I need your old phone." Alyra looked at Lucas and asked him "why?" Lucas told her "Max doesn't want you to have any contact with the other Reapers in the mansion. Give me your old phone Alyra".
Alyra unwillingly gives up her old phone to Lucas, he smashes the phone with his feet to pieces, and make sure the sims card is broken into 2 pieces before throwing it away.
They got in the car and started heading towards Reno. Lucas asked her "do you know anything about Reno?" Alyra shook her head no. Lucas decided to tell her about Reno a bit, but Alyra wasn't paying attention to him.
Lucas stopped at a gas station to get some snacks and fill up the car. He said to her "if you need a bathroom break this would be a good time to do it". Alyra headed for the bathroom while Lucas filled the car up, and headed in for some snacks.
Alyra came out of the bathroom and sat in the car waiting for Lucas to come back. When Lucas arrived he handed Alyra a twinkie cake, Alyra held it up side ways and asked Lucas "what is this?" Lucas looked at her funny and said "twinkie, you eat it". Alyra said "no thanks I will pass, can you hand me a bottle of water please?" Lucas says "here drink a Pepsi didn't get any water. I will next time". Alyra said "okay" with a low voice.
Lucas finished his twinkie and asked Alyra "how old are you?" Alyra replied "17 yrs old and why?" Lucas said "your pretty young for the line of work your in". Alyra told Lucas "well it was better than starving as a werewolf since 5 years old. You know all about being a werewolf don't you Lucas. You smell like one".
Well I guess the secret is out of the bag with you Alyra, and yes I am a werewolf like you. Alyra said "you are nothing like me...trust me", Lucas says "what do you mean?" Alyra says "nothing" with a deep sigh and turns her head to look out the window.
Lucas says to Alyra "we will have plenty of time sharing each other stories about our lives", while continue to drive towards Reno.
Alyra falls asleep dreaming of Mama, Caleb, Sam, Alex, and Dave. Lucas notice Alyra crying in her sleep. He pulls the car to the side, and wipes her tears from her cheeks and slowly wakes her up. Alyra wipes her tears with the sleeve of her shirt, and sit up straight, and asked Lucas "are we there yet?" Lucas says " another 2 days and we will be there. Are you okay?" Alyra says "yes I am fine just a bad dream," while looking back out the window. Lucas started the car and got back on the road.
Lucas got a call from Max, Max asked Lucas "how far are you from your destination?" Lucas said "about 2 days out boss", Max said "good, get her settle right away". Lucas said "yes boss" and hanged the phone up.
Alyra asked Lucas "how did you make it without anyone?" While tears started forming in her baby blue eyes. Lucas told her "time will pass fast and soon you won't notice how much time passes by, plus you will never be alone Alyra. I'll be always around when you need me". Alyra said "Its not the same" tears keep running down her cheeks while she looks back out her window.
Lucas realizes Alyra will not make it if she doesn't have a pack or a family unit around her. Lucas says to Alyra "you will make friends but you cannot tell them about your work, and the real you. Your almost of age which your body and mind will go through changes. I'll be here through it all with you".
"You know Reno is a city in the U.S. state of Nevada, located in the northwestern part of the state, approximately 22 miles from Lake Tahoe. Known as "The Biggest Little City in the World", Reno is known for its casino industry. Reno is the county seat of Washoe County. I own a bar called The Mystical Bar". Alyra giggled. Lucas said "why are you giggling? You don't like the name?" Alyra said "no, its a cute name". Lucas told her "I named the bar after a famous werewolf in our species, the mystical wolf, which none have exists since 10,000 years". Alyra says "you don't say..huh".
Alyra asked Lucas "what do you know about the mystical wolf?" Lucas explains "the mystical wolf is the one who leads all werewolves not just pack wolves, they have unique abilities unlike us, they can control wind, fire, earth, and water. They also can heal werewolves and humans, spirit wolves, and they are blessed by the moon goddess to the blood moon and the full blue moon, which makes them very powerful and strong. They can also help balance all rogues back to normal by a single touch or word. They also come from a royal line so essentially they are princesses or princes when they are born. The truly rare ones possess the gift of siring humans to werewolves". Alyra said "how do you know so much about mystical wolves?" Lucas said "my grandfather use to tell us stories about the great mystical wolves, but unfortunately none exist because if they did, me and you would be in a pack instead of here".
"Our species lost a lot when we lost our mystical wolves, and now we are barely surviving. Just clinging to life to have one, until our time comes when we go to the spirit world".
Alyra looked at Lucas and said "you need to have faith, sometimes miracles come true", while placing her hand on Lucas shoulder. Lucas felt relieved by Alyra words but also at peace. He looked at Alyra with the most shocking look, he knew what she was, but never said anything to her and kept driving towards Reno.
After 2 days they hit the city limits to Reno and Lucas drives them directly to his bar. He tells Alyra to stay in the car, I will be just a few minutes checking on my staff, okay. He leaves the car and runs into "The Mystical Bar".
He gets back in the car and tells Alyra ready to see your new home? Alyra says "yes please". Lucas smiles and pulls up to a mansion with big black iron gates, he pushes in a code and the gates open. Lucas drives up to the front of the mansion and parks the car.
Lucas says "Welcome to Fox Mansion. It belonged to my family and if you are guessing, yes I come from money. I have a brother and sister who visits rarely, but you might see them someday, lets get you settled.. okay".
Meanwhile back at Harwood Condominium Homes Caleb, Sam, Alex and Dave try there best to track Alyra with no hope. Caleb starts to lose it, and says "I should have grabbed her and left with my car right away", while slamming his fist on the table. Sam tells Caleb "we will find her, I told you it will take time". Caleb looks at the guys with tears in his eyes I should have been with her that night, not that girl. I need her Sam, my heart is breaking every time I can't feel her or hear her voice. Sam tells Caleb "everything will work out I promise you Caleb, get some sleep we will try something else tomorrow".
Sam takes Caleb to his room and says "goodnight Caleb and see you tomorrow". Sam closes Caleb's door. Caleb went to his desk in his room and took out paper and a pen. Started writing a letter to Alyra.
My Dearest Love,
I miss your scent, your gentle touch on my body, your loving kisses, and your sweet voice.
I wake up at night longing for you, and going to an empty room that use to be yours. I took what we had for granted, and by doing so I lost the most important person in my life. You my love.
My heart breaks everyday for you, and I hope you are safe wherever you are. I may have lost you but I will find you someday, or die trying.
Knowing that I am coming for you even if it takes me a thousand lifetimes to get to you. I will never give up on us.
Your Love,
Caleb
