Doureena and Zhiliary stood on the corner watching the night come to life with various species interested in sex, gambling, and drugs. It was an oasis, a place for them to escape to when they tired of their real world duties and responsibilities.
The ground reeked of urine and beer, condoms seen thrown in random places, establishments openly advertised their services on the street, wanting clients. Each saying they had the best women, men, Omegas.
They would have to get back home soon, at least Doureena would. This terroritory was under Apex supervision; therefore, it was Zhiliary who kept watch over the districts.
"What are you thinking, Alpha?" The elite asked.
"I'm unsure of your plan to mate with this witch."
"Alpha, we wolves have limitations. I've mated with plenty of species and the witches are by far the powerfulest. I can promise you we can have all of Canas in less than twenty years if I sire at least two off springs with a witch and raise them in the pack."
Doureena was still unsure. Her eyes focused on the couples and lovers she saw engulf with one another.
"The madam said it herself. Witches aren't loyal."
"Yes, but the offspring will be half wolf. Their loyalty will come from our blood. This is our opportunity to take this country and make it ours. We have gain numerous traction with very little resistance here. Let go of that rule of mating only with wolves. We can control the witches numbers and still remain as superior to them."
Doureena continued to listen to her elite's argument. She rubbed her chin and turned to face her.
"I do not know if the witch Tania has reached puberty. I won't mate with her unless she has." Zhiliary confirmed.
"If she hasn't then that means we would have to hide her if you managed to catch her. I'm curious to hear your plan on that."
Zhiliary smirked. "I don't have one yet but I will draft one up immediately, Alpha."
Tany had been seeing this woman in her dreams for the past several days. She walked down the hall toward the dormitories to see if she could catch Faye before she teleported back to swamps.
She ran up the spiral staircase, seeing that Faye's roommates were already heading out with their luggage.
"Excuse me, 'cuse me!" She walked into the dorm while Faye was still packing. "Faye!"
Faye turned around and smiled at the witch. She went over and gave her a hug, wishing her a good holiday. Tany grabbed Faye on the arm.
"What's wrong?"
"I...I've been having these dreams of this woman."
"You think she's a spirit?" Faye asked.
"I don't know...that's why I came to you." Tany walked over to Faye's bed and sat down.
Faye clapped her hands once and took out her needle. Tany jumped when she saw the needles in Faye's hand. Her silver eye flashed and she pointed the needle at Tany.
Tany's breathing became erratic. She closed her eyes. Faye stabbed the needle into Tany's head.
There was no blood, nothing, but light. And then, Faye was standing before her. Her face was serious, harden.
"Faye..." Tany whispered.
"That's no spirit," Faye said. "That's an Alpha from the Apex pack. Why is she in your dreams?"
"I don't know!"
"You need to talk to Sous."
Faye walked down the spiral staircase holding Tany's hand. Sous was found in the common room of the 9th house eating some of the cake and cookies left out for the students in celebration of the holidays.
Her cheeks were puffed out like a chipmunk while she occasionally washed it down with water and juice.
"Sous..."
Sous turned to see Faye and Tany both staring at her. Their faces focused and bother. She swallowed and walked to them, exchanging looks with each of them.
"She's seeing Zhiliary in her dreams." Faye said.
Sous instantly snapped her head to Tany. "What?"
Tany nodded her head. She explained to Sous that she had been seeing this Alpha in her dreams for the past several days. She had no idea what it meant beyond this Alpha having some sort of meaning to her.
Sous shook her head, hating that she was hearing this right before the holiday break. She looked back at Tany and knowing what Sous knew of the brothels, of Kara...
"She wants to mate with you," Sous said nonchalantly. Tany was taken aback with a blush to her face. "Have you gone through puberty?" With her face even redder, she shook her head no.
Sous didn't know what puberty was for a witch. The magae schools didn't really have sex education due to the various species. They thought it best for species to learn within their own communities.
"I'll send a letter to Shadow. I gotta go with you. I can't take my eyes off you."
"You think Zhiliary will come to Nadia?" Faye asked.
Absolutely, there was no doubt in Sous' mind that Zhiliary would make her way to Nadia. The other wolves did when infiltrating Clarence's village.
A golden parchment popped up in front of Sous. She took it and opened it. It read:
We know the whereabouts of your mother, we believe. When able to get to Red Woods!
Monica
Sous stared at the letter.
"Sous..." her friends said at the same time.
The room was spinning, she couldn't believe this. First, Zhilary and now her mother may be found and alive!
...she needed to get to Red Woods.
Monica and Shadow picked up their documents. Monica took out her wand and had the documents disappear. The goal was for them to go to the province of Roujin. From there, there were three cities that Elevyn could be in: Oromo, Xin, and Caroland.
They stepped onto the porch of Sous' shack and waited. Something they didn't have to do for long, for Sous popped in front of them with Faye and Tany. Sous turned to Faye and nodded her head, thanking her for the teleportation.
Faye slammed down her needle and she was gone.
Monica and Shadow walked up to Sous and Tany. They both looked at Sous with a questionable expression, unsure why Tany was with her.
"Zhiliary I think is after her."
"Why do you think that?" Monica asked.
Tany had only met Monica once a few years ago but remembered how sweet she had been during that time. She looked the same except of course, getting older but then so was Tany. "I'm having dreams about her. My conscious is telling me something. The Three G's taught me to not ever over look my dreams."
"Wait...you're a witch," Shadow asked.
Tany confirmed this by a simple nod. A disgusted look came upon Monica's face. Knowing what she knew now and why Zhiliary was doing what she was doing, gave her an extra knot in her stomach. Finally, she said, "Let's get going."
