Luschka had been sleeping when her phone rang and she jumped up, scared. She had been out really late last night roaming around the forest. It had been a really rough day yesterday and today probably wasn't going to be much better. She picked up her phone and when Eclipse mentioned a party she interrupted him saying she'd be there. She groaned and got out of bed. She brushed her teeth, combed her hair, and did her make up.
She got dressed in a tank top with a purple and pink floral pattern with the same shade of purple shorts. She put her hair back in a pony tail and sighed, deciding she'd just eat when she got to the party. She pursed her lips as she examined herself in the mirror. That'll have to do. Lu put on her round cheetah sunglasses and walked out the door. She saw Char flirting with Eclipse and gave her a 'good luck with that' look.
***
Larysa had just finished blowdrying her hair when she got a text from Lucas. She smiled and told him she'd be there. She chuckled and applied her make up sparingly. She wasn't really in to make up. It made her feel....girly. A chill went up her spine as she thought about it. Ew. As she finished applying her lip gloss she smiled and got her purse. She walked out the door of her house, locked up, and got into her Mercedes.
***
Shane got a call from Lucas and agreed that a party would be fun. Hanging up, he became a little nervous. The party was going to be at the Infiniteria Residential. Where his sister lived. He swallowed nervously and scratched the back of his head. He walked over to a picture he had of Luschka and sighed. Oh, Luschka. I've missed you. But hopefully you don't recognize me. I just need to see you're okay. He put his jacket on and walked out the door.
***
Damian awoke in his hotel early that morning. He had been ready for a while when he recieved a text from Katie. No one knew he was back yet and he figured this would be the best time for him to announce his return. He smiled and replied, saying he'd be there as soon as possible. He didn't even bother to put on his coat. He just gathered his bag and ran to his old house.

As soon as she heard her name, Azuki looked up to see her friend Sani rushing over to her. Instantly, Azuki got to her feet and took off to her friend. "SANI!!!" she said, running up to her friend and giving her a huge hug. "I've missed you to, Sani." she said, before looking back at Eric. She smiled at the little boy and motioned for him to come over to her. "Sani, this is Eric. Eric meet Sani."
------------------------------
Lucas had zoned out, glancing around for someone. He had sent Larysa a text, letting her know that the pack was invited to a party that Eclipse was throwing. And now, he was looking for her. He hadn't told Ice about him and Larysa getting together and the huntress become the Alpha female. But he knew as soon as she arrived, Ice would figure it out. He just hoped for the best.

Eclipse nodded as the younger Alpha mentioned the pup incident. At least now some things were looking up, as both the pups were behaving, somewhat. Glancing over, he found Azuki and Eric. Glancing over his shoulder, he found Charlotte standing there. She was commenting something about how busy he had been and he nodded. "Lucas, this is one of my Hunters, Charlotte. Charlotte, this is the Alpha Male of the Validus pack and his charming sister," [/color] he stated, trying to bring one of his newest pack member out of the house. "I'm good," he stated. Things were looking up, his father had returned, the packs were getting along for the moment, and the hunts were slowing. Suddenly, there was another female dancing over to Azuki and Eric quickly got out of the way so that he wouldn't be trampled by the female who seemed to be good friends with Azuki. The scent around girl said Validus wolf which meant that she must have been the other pup that Azuki had met up with. He may not be an adult, but he was small enough to fit in places and over hear things being talked about by the adults. "I'm Eric Holmes," he stated.
Nodding his head, Cyrus quickly excused himself to bring himself to the nearest bottle of vodka. "Hello baby, I've missed you so much,"[/color] the Beta Male stated, cuddling up to the bottle.
Running up to the house, Katie found her son talking to other pups. Suddenly feeling really bad, she found a bench and sat down, watching Eric talking to the two females.[/size][/blockquote]

Lance gave William a reassuring pat on the back, "Don't worry, I invited the loner Cain as well. The guy that owns that strip club, The Blue Moon. I'm hoping he will play bartender for all of us, but you won't be the only non-pack member. Besides, it's a party." he grinned, "Nobody is going to bite." ~~~
Cain sneezed as he parked his car, wondering who was talking about him. He had a case of ingredients for making different types of drinks, and tilted his head back to catch the scent of the others. He had met a few of the members from both packs in the past few days, and could find their familiar scent in the wind.

Luschka looked at the Alpha Male of Validus. He wasn't much older than she herself. Using her werewolf strength she placed one hand on the back of the bench next to Eclipse and propelled herself over it easily, landing on her butt, sitting up straight right next to Eclipse. She smiled cheesily at Eclipse and waved in a retarded way. Then she started laughing. She knew Eclipse hated being trapped but Lu was always the one to test him. Resting her head on her older 'brother's' shoulder, she smiled at Lucas. Hi Lucas. I'm Luschka Desmile, Beta Female of Infiniteria. I'm also Eclipse's younger sister.
Lu and Eclipse had been referring to eachother as siblings for around five years now. When Damian Holmes, his old Beta Male, had disappeared Eclipse needed someone to turn to and Luschka was always there. Eclipse had really began to trust Lu and vice-versa. They were very close, despite what other people might say or think. Luschka looked at Ice then. Hello. You're Ice Storm, right?
* * *
Larysa pulled up to the Infiniteria Residential and gawked. Holy shit this place was amazing. She shook her head and stepped out of her small, white, expensive Mercedes. She followed Lucas's scent until she found him. Walking faster when she saw him, she smiled. There was her mate. Larysa started jogging to him. When she stopped at his side she smiled sheepishly. So many people were here and this would be their first time meeting her as Alpha Female of Validus. She nodded once to Eclipse in respect as she waited for Lucas to introduce her. Of course she would introduce herself, but this was kind of important. This was her introduction to Lucas's sister as well.
* * *
Shane stepped foot on the Infiniteria Residential and he felt as if he had been shocked. Woah. Major sibling connection. Well, at least he thought so. He had to avoid making contact with Luschka though--especially if he wanted to remain a mystery from her. Hesitating, he found Saniyah reuniting with one of her friends. Since Niyah was his apprentice sort of he walked over to stand next to her. He smiled and bowed to all three of them. Niyah. May I ask who you two are? He decided he would look less intimidating if he were shorter, so he sunk to the ground and sat, hoping Niyah would hang out with him. He may be twenty four, but he was a kid at heart.
* * *
Damian ran up from behind Katie. Covering her eyes he asked, Guess who? He chuckled and sat next to her on the bench. He took her hands in his and kissed them both. Oh, how he had missed these wonderful hands. He lifted her chin with one finger and kissed her softly and quickly before chuckling again and putting an arm behind her on the bench. Ever since he had returned, Damian had been wondering how he was going to introduce himself back to his pack. This was the perfect reunion. A Labor Day party. Though he didn't know why Romanian werewolves would be celebrating an American holiday, he didn't know, but hey. He might as well enjoy it, right?

And the trapped feeling was back and Eclipse knew the exact moment Luschka had stuck her head out of the house. The woman was his Beta Female now, but damn was she a pain in his arse. As she sat down beside him, he felt like scooting over but found he couldn't. When she leaned her head on him, he growled low and deep, placing his hand on her head and lightly nudging her off of him. "You should have brought your mate, little sis . . . . He would have been . . . welcomed," [/color] he growled, still low, but there was no keeping secrets at a werewolf gathering. Suddenly, his nose popped up in the air and his nostrils flared. "Let me up,"[/color] he growled, getting up without any other words. He was gentle about it either, almost uprighting Luschka and pushing past the other Alpha and a female that had walked up that smelt like his new mate. "Congratulations,"[/color] he whispered as he stepped around the growing group. "DAMIAN HOLMES!!! GET YOUR ASS UP HERE NOW!" he all but howled, probably killing the mood for the party with the booming voice. How dare his friend slip back into town and not tell him!? The bastard had probably been here awhile if he was already coozied up to Katie again. Shaking his head, he quickly glanced behind him. "Excuse me, Lucas, Lady,"[/color] he said, dipping his head to the new Alpha Female, at least he hoped she was the new Alpha Female. Judging by scent alone, they seemed very close. "I have . . . old business to attend to," he stated, spotting Eric's head pop up at the mention of his father. So the pup knew to. Was he and the pack just left out in the dark?
Hearing Eclipse's booming voice, Cyrus instantly lifted his head from drooling over the vodka and quickly moved back up to the side of the Validus Alpha Male that his new mate wasn't holding currently. "Hi Larysa!"[/color] he grinned, wiggling his fingers at her. He hadn't really spoken to her much, but her name was starting to become very popular. Like a dopey puppy, he held up two thumbs behind Ice's back, signalling good luck to the couple. That being done, he became serious again and started looking around for the poor victim of the Infiniteria Alpha Male. Ah, Damian Holmes. Now there was a name he hadn't heard in a very long time. Having been born into the Validus pack, he had heard a lot of things about the due that had once led the Infiniteria pack. Eclipse and Damian had been friends, until he had disappeared leading Hunters away from the den. Lose an Alpha or his Beta? It wasn't a hard choice and he would have done the same for Lucas, no question asked. Yet, with his bottle of vodka commandeered from the table, he sat down on the bench next to a pretty blonde who smelt like an Infiniteria and nodded the bottle to her. "And let the show begin,"[/color] he stated, waiting and watching, even as he turned up the bottle and drank some of its contents.
A new man walked up and seemed to know the Validus pup, but still, Eric lifted a lip and growled at him as he bent down, asking who they were. He may be smarter than most five year olds, but that didn't mean he was trusting like most. "You normally give your name first before asking someone else's," he growled, ice blue orbs flashing before his head shot up, trying to look over the man in front of him. Eclipse had found out his father was here . . . Poor dad, he thought as he shook his head. His mother would call him over if he was needed, or probably come get him if he was needed.
Normally, when two lovers were reunited there would have been that moment when the male came up behind the female and tried to be funny by covering her eyes and telling her to 'guess who?' However, that wasn't a good idea when living with werewolves because A) it was pointless. Their sense of smell was just too good and you normally were caught before you got to close, or B) they were too jumpy. Katie was B. She hadn't really been a man like Damian in five years and the mystery of a normal relationship was alien to her. So, of course, when Damian came up behind her and covered her eyes and told her to 'guess who?' she just about elbowed him in the side of the head, at least until he took her hands and started kissing them. Her heart was racing as she found herself being kissed, which she happily returned, and then drawn into his arms. "You scared the hell out of me,"[/color] she whispered a little breathless. "You might want to be careful, Damian. Eclipse has been teaching me and Eric to fight," she said as she leaned back into his strong body. Oh yes, she SOOOO missed this time with him. However, their time was cut short as Eclipse must have caught Damian's scent. "You should have known just popping back in here was a bad idea without telling Eclipse,"[/color] she giggled, shoving him a little. "Go on. I'll be right here when you get done,"[/color] she stated, shaking her head at her mate. Poor guy, he just got home and now Eclipse was going to eat him alive.[/size][/blockquote]

Luschka narrowly avoided falling on her face when Eclipse pushed her off. She growled but when he screeched 'Damian Holmes get your arse over here,' she let it go. Five years ago, when she was fourteen, Damian Holmes had went missing. She knew he had only been back since yesterday, but obviously Eclipse was in the dark. Probably every body else too. Now, she would have invited Seth, but that would be like letting a cat in a cage with mice. Seth was an Amos after all and she wasn't going to put her family in danger--whether they were Infiniteria or Validus.
When the Beta Male of Validus sat next to her and nodded with the vodka, she got a craving. Watching him carefully, she quickly took the bottle, took a swig, and gave it back. Sorry. I'm stressed. She pursed her lips before holding out her hand. I'm Luschka Desmile. Beta Female of Infiniteria. She smiled and crossed her legs as she waited for him to take her hand, shake, and introduce himself.
* * *
Larysa nodded to Eclipse when he nodded to her. Very strange. It was a big leap going from huntress to Alpha Female. Really big. When she heard her name she turned to see Cyrus and she smiled kindly. Being the Alpha Female sure did get her a lot of respect. Goodness gracious, when she was a huntress not even half of the Validus pack knew who she was, lead alone respect her. And now, everyone knew who she was, and everyone respected her. It was crazy awesome.
* * *
Shane chuckled when the little boy growled at him. Of course. My apologies, sir. My name is Shane Desmile and I am Lead Scout of Validus. He held out his hand to the boy. When his father was alive he tried teaching Shane proper manners and etticuette, but Shane never listened. When his father died though, in respect of him, Shane had taken out the time to learn exactly what his father bad wanted him to.
* * *
Damian rubbed the side of his head numbly as he held Katie. I can see that! He chuckled though it had really hurt. But then he heard his name boomed through the crowd. Eclipse. He looked up and saw him. Damian's face turned to that of a lost puppy's as Eclipse approached them. When Katie told him she'd still be there, he sighed and got up. He walked quickly to Eclipse and bowed his head in respect. Sir. He awaited a bombshell to be thrown at him. Actually that would probably be better. He looked into Eclipse's eyes and spoke. I've only been back since yesterday. I came today to tell everyone.

When lucad caught the scent of Larysa he smiled. Good she was finally here. Now to only tell Ice about her and him being together.oh how he wasn't ready for that to happen yet, but he knew she'd find out sooner or later and tight now was a perfect time to tell her. He took a breath before he heard Eclipse say congratulations to him and Larysa. He smiled slightly before wrapping an arm around here. He looked over to Ice. " I think its time I announced something to everyone. Even to Eclupse's pack." He said, smiling more. He turned to Larysa with a big grin. "Some of you may already know but to those who don't. I have taken a mate, someone to help me lead the pack." He paused slightly, "I'd like for you all to meet Larysa. My mate and Alpha female to Validus."

Charlotte looked at the leader of the Validus pack leader. [blue]Hi, I'm Charlotte Grayson. You must be Lucas Storm. [/blue] She smiled widely and held out her hand, like she had when she first met Eclipse. Turning to his sister, she held out her hand for her to shake too. [blue]And you must be Ice.[/blue] Ice had the opposite of Lucas' white blond hair. Her's was stark black against her pale skin, and it was cut short at the back and tapered out to a longer length at the front. She instantly liked the siblings, Lucas gave off an air of relaxed leadership and Ice was a little more tricky to figure out, but Char could tell she was a good person. She put a hand on Eclipse's shoulder and tried to steer him away so they could greet some of the other guests. [blue]Is there anything I can do to help?[/blue] She said quietly, looking intensely at the Alpha. Her feelings for him still confused her, but she was willing to hide them until she fully understood them. Eclipse didn't strike her as the kind of guy to take any shit from anyone, and her feelings might translate into just that.

Lance bounded into the party, giving out a triumphant whoop. " Hellooooo my friends! Lance, the star of all of Romania, has arrived!" He hadn't even touched the liquor, and he was in high spirits. Well, more so that everyone had paired off into conversations and he felt neglected. He paused though, turning to Lucas with a giant "O" forming on his face. " Wait. What?! You got a mate before me?!" he groaned, How is that possible???~~~ Cain had entered the party grounds just as Lucas' announcement was made, and reached into his belongings before pulling out a bottle of champagne. He walked over to the pack leader, giving a smile. "A small congratulatory gift from the non-pack werewolves." he said, popping the cork.

She saw Azu jump up and and yell her nickname she had made up and rushed towards her giving her a hug. Niyah laughed and then heard Azu intorduce her to the boy whose name was Eric. She smiled and said "Can you believe my sister got me to wear a dress?" Looking around for a quick moment she stepped closer whispering in her ear "Please tell me you have something better than this dress?" Then her eyes went to Shane as he came over and nodded to her. Then she looked at Eric as he let out a small growl toward Shane and say "You normally give your name first before asking someone else's," 'Cautious one' she thought curiously. She wrapped her arms around Shane as he introduced himself and then said "Shane is teaching me how to track, Azu" Then she snapped her head around looking towards the other adults letting Shane go as Lucas said "Some of you may already know but to those who don't. I have taken a mate, someone to help me lead the pack." 'Oh really?' she thought curiously taking the bow that matched her dress from her head and shaking it. Her mouth nearly dropped as she hard Lucas say that Larysa, the huntress was his mate. Well alpha female now. Blinking she said "Wow...I did not see that comin" Then she looked toward Lance and another male showed up.

Azuki looked at her friend and smiled a bit. She liked the dress, but it wasn't something she would wear. Nodding, she took Sani's hand and led her to her bag. Azuki always carried spare clothes, she knew what it was like to appear naked in front of someone..that was not going to happen again. "Here ya go Sani." she said, turning around and handing her a t-shirt with a tiger design on it and some pants.
She turned and listened to Sani tell her about tracking. "That's awesome Sani. I'm learning how to hunt, or I am one of the Hunters for my pack." she said, smiling. Azuki was proud of her hunting skills. She had learned quickly and had quickly started to hunt alone. Azuki turned her attention to Lucas however, as he made his announcement. He had taken on a mate..her name was Larysa. Azuki hadn't heard of the female, but could easily tell who it was by the way Lucas had looked at her. "Why didn't you?" she asked her friend.
-------------
When Ice heard the announcement, her eyes went wide. She watched her brother, then turned her gaze to Larysa. So that was he had been so 'busy' lately. He was with her. A slow smile came to her face, and she made her way over to the new Alpha Female. "Congratulations. Welcome to the Storm family, Larysa." she said. This was going to be tricky for her but Ice would do it for Lucas.
-------------------
Lucas saw his sisters expression then heard the congratulations coming from her. At least she is trying. he thought, a smile forming on his face. The Alpha made his way over to his mate and wrapped a arm around her. He glanced over at Lance, "Don't worry Bud, you'll find that special someone." he said, before turning his attention to another wolf. He smiled and pointed at the table, "Put it there. We will all share it!" he exclaimed. Lucas was happy now.

Cain held up the giant case he had been carrying, "Oh, there's plenty to share. I brought some stuff from the bar. Figured you all would enjoy some high quality drinks."
Lance had skipped over to Cain, reaching around him to pluck a bottle from the ice filled case. "Don't mind if I do~" he responded, delighted as he jumped from Cain's reach.
"Oh god, he's a terrible drunk. Twice as annoying as normal." Cain chuckled as he went to the table, putting down the liquor.
Lance had opened the bottle, sniffing at it in interest. It was written in a language he didn't recognize, and seemed bubbly and sweet. He took a testing sip, before giggling slightly when it tickled at his nose. Whatever this was, it tasted good.

When Cyrus sat down, he found his bottle stolen from him. As he watched the blonde female take a swig and handed it back, he couldn't help but shake his head. "Little young, arenae we?" [/color] he mumbled, grinning, but nodding as she spoke of stress. Once she mentioned her name, he understood completely. "Cyrus O'Conner, Beta Male for Validus pack,"[/color] he said, taking her hand and shaking it before he nodded the bottle as Lucas finally announced that he had taken a mate. At least Ice seemed to take it better than they thought. "I thought I had it bad wid bein Lucas' Beta . . . But ye deserve a big trink tae be Eclipse' Beta,"[/color] he stated, watching the Infiniteria Alpha storm over to Damian.
Hearing Char ask him if their was anything that she could do to help, Eclipse simply shook his head. "He's mine to deal with . . . "[/color] he said, nodding to Damian as he came toward him. Though he did almost smile at his Hunter. She was continuous in her intentions, and with the Validus Alpha Male taking a mate it made him think of taking one for himself, but he pushed that thought from his mind. There were several females that stood out and it would be just as, if not more, difficult then when he gave Luschka the Beta Female position. "You've been gone for so long, old friend,"[/color] he whispered, shaking his head at his old Beta Male. Glancing over his shoulder, he looked at his Beta Female and then turned back to his old Beta Male. "Get over here!"[/color] he growled, the smile breaking out over his face as he opened his arms to embrace his old friend back. No matter his choice on the new position he wanted, he was more than happy to bring him back into the pack.
Nodding his head, Eric seemed to accept the much older male. "Eric Holmes, I'm just a pup in the Infiniteria pack,"[/color] he stated, also listening to the two females and the gathered group around him. When the Alpha Male announced his choice of mate, and nodded. ]"She's seems like she'll be a good Alpha Female,"[/color] he stated, head turning to take in Eclipse and his father. "Please excuse me . . . I need to go to my Mama," he stated, dipping his head to each werewolf and moving over to Katie and climbing up next to her. "It's ok, Eric. Eclipse won't hurt him,"[/color] Katie stated, taking er son in her arms and pulling him back against her chest. He didn't fight her, his orbs focused on the two males as they squared off and when Eclipse actually smiled and opened his arms to embrace his old friend. That was a good sign. "What if we helped Eclispe find a mate, Mama?" she heard her son asked, causing her to pull him into her lap so that she could look at him. "That is for him to decide, but I'm sure he's already thinking about that with Alpha Lucas announcing his mate,"[/color] she stated, watching the gathering once more.[/size][/blockquote]

Charlotte smiled as Eclipse showed emotion toward his old friend. She'd never met Damian, but had heard a few things about him - she knew he was Katie's husband and Eric was his son. She looked around the tables, and spotting Luschka, she slid into the chair next to her. From the look on her face, she was thinking hard - about Seth? She put both her elbows on the table and leaned forward slightly, closing her knees together.
[blue]Hey Lu, how are you? Do you know why Eclipse thought to do this? It seems a little unlike him...[/blue] She looked over at her friend, and realized how she felt about the Alpha. She shook her head, wondering if Lu could tell. She let her eyes wonder around the crowd as she waited for the girl to answer, her eyes finding Eclipse easily, they hung there, before she laid eyes on Lucas' mate. She was stunning, and Char could tell that the pair deeply liked each other.
