-Jackal watched the coyote leave as he got up and showered and changed and went about his day thinking about Hawk and thinking about that night hoping it all went well. If he’d known he was competing with a vampire he might have been less enthusiastic. The phone rang for a few times and it seemed Emile might not pick up but finally there was a click and the vampire smiled a bit softly … -
Hawk … you made it home safe?
-They were on the outskirts of Paris in a smaller village. He sat in the quiet dingy little hotel room waiting for the others to return. Ace and Ren had gone out to eat leaving the vampire to keep a low profile. He glanced around the shitty hotel room …-
You’d like my accommodations. They are just what you’d choose …
-He teased the coyote but Em sounded a bit tired. He hated being back home, back so close to the Volturi, with the anxiety, and he missed Hawk and keeping Ren and Ace from running head long at the vampires was taxing. He stared out the window a moment … - How is everything going? I heard from the others … they made it safely to their destination as well …

Safe as a kitten, baby, did you doubt me? Now.. if I stay that way, remains be seen. And you? How are ya? And what about the wolves? You able to keep those three under control?
~He teased the vampire a bit as he slowed his pace, letting his meeting with the elders linger.~
Oh? So it's not good enough for your fine ass, I assume?
~He liked the banter, made him miss the vampire more.~
It's good the others got where they are going? Have you heard if any are going to help? We got here last night... My Gran has gotten me a meeting with the elders. I'm heading that way now. I'll have to let you know what they say. Coyotes can be a bit spiteful when they wanna be...
~He grew quiet for a moment, just listening, waiting for Em to speak, to see if he could discern anything from the vampire's tone.~
~Colt was sitting on the back porch staring at the big ceremonial teepee. He looked up when Corbin appeared and tugged the coyote in closer to him.~
They started playing drums in there...
~He nodded to where the sound of drums came rhythmically from the structure. And then he leaned into the coyote, growling in his ear.~
So where you think Hawk is? Hmmm

I never doubt you … it’s heckle and jeckle you’re with that I doubt. Keep a tight leash on them …
-Em smiled softly hearing Hawk’s voice relaxed him visibly. He missed the coyote terribly, and not just at night, but missed him now when he had so much on his plate and Hawk was always so calm and focused. He frowned a bit shrugging even of he knew Hawk couldn’t see. His eyes shut as he leaned against the window … -
I had to feed on a stray dog last night. It was disgusting … I hate being here … always looking behind my back like I used to before … Ren and Ace are barely under control … Ash is mostly calm and quiet and fuck if know what to do with Noah. I can barely look at him … I’m so furious with them Hawk …
-He smiled a bit at the fine ass comment … -
I miss you Hawk …
-He spoke the words softly and there were cracks in his voice. The strain of it all showing, barely there, if anyone else had spoken that way Hawk would have dismissed it but a slight tremor in the vampire’s voice meant a lot. He shook it off his voice becoming the simple quiet steady timber from before… -
They only arrived. No news on what help may come … I hope your family helps …
-He paused … -
I should go make sure the wolves come back soon … be careful Hawk …
-The phone went dead after that leaving Hawk no doubt confused about Em and Jackal. Corbin dropped down claiming the wolf’s lip as he nodded slowly … -
Yeah meeting of the elders … always starts with drums and shit …
-Corbin snorted … -
I saw him out the door … he left with Jackal. I guess he finally believes me … fucking something living is better than something something dead …

Don't worry about Heckle and Jeckle, I can keep those two in line, no problem. I'm more concerned about Ren, Ace and Harlin...
~But then Em went on about the wolves and Hawk listened. He sighed about Noah and was about to say something, but then Em spoke and that crack in his voice made his heart ache. He stopped walking and grew quiet.~
I miss you too, Em. We'll be there soon, I promise you...
~He heard the wall come back up, felt it as Em spoke about the others and then just as quickly said he had to go and the phone went dead. The sigh was heavy. He felt the weight of this on him. And just like that, he wasn't even thinking about Jack anymore, Em's voice had burnt the boy out of Hawk's mind, for now.~
Ya think? I don't know... he might be fucking that boy, but he's got a wicked hard on for Em that I don't see going away any time soon...
~Just as Colt said that, Hawk appeared.~
Do I now? Both of you need to keep your noses outta my personal life...
~He growled the words at them causing Colt to just laugh a bit, but Hawk snapped his jaws at him and Colt shut up, giving Hawk a little respect. Hawk stood just on the edge of porch. And then he turned and nodded for the two of them to get up. They stood on either side of him as his eyes focused on the teepee.~
You will both let me do the talking. Don't say a fucking word unless directly asked. Don't roll your eyes, don't make noises and don't be disrespectful. I'll skin you both if either one of you fuck this up.
~Colt didn't say a word, instead he just looked at Hawk and then at Corbin. He could see the tension rolling down Hawk and knew in that moment that he'd spoken to Em.~

-Em was left thinking about Hawk. When the coyote appeared Corbin arching a brow at how pissy he seemed. He stopped up tugging Colt to him ... -
Chill, I know the drill ... and quit acting like dad ...
-He snorted a bit but stayed quiet as he tugged the wolf a long moving inside the tent. He knew the coyote had spoken to the vampire and that's why he was so pissy and part of him wanted to dump the fanger and find a nice coyote or wolf or anything alive that would make him happy. Hawk was allowed to speak and true to form Corbin stayed quiet in the back looking respectful, well, as respectful as he ever looked-

~Haw turned on Cor in that moment, his eyes narrowed. He looked like he might hit his brother, but he pulled back and stalked towards the teepee. Colt's brow arched but then shrugged as he was tugged along. They entered the Teepee after Hawk, the drums going and a dull chant was softly murmured. Hawk had come to a stop in the middle of the teepee, standing there as the elders continued to chant. Colt looked to Cor but remained silent and just stood by Corbin. Finally the chanting stopped and there was just silence. Finally after what felt like forever, an old man wrapped in a woven blanket lifted his grey head. His hair was long, in two long braids and his face was weathered and tan like leather. His eyes were small dark dots on that face and he stared at Hawk for a good long moment.~
Hawk Blackfeather.... you have returned with your brother and a wolf. You return after all these years, after abandoning your tribe and you ask for our help with not only wolves... but vampires as well?
~Hawk held the old man's gaze. For a moment he was quiet. Then he looked around, finding his mother and then grandmother.~
I understand, Grandfather... it may seem strange. But this has always been our home, our family is still here. We both felt the call of coyote, and followed that call, not unlike others before us.
~The old man snorted at that. But Hawk went on.~
But we have always helped those that need it. And this pack of wolves needs our help. The vampires are unlike others we have come in contact with.
~There was a murmur that rose up among the others and the chief of this group held his hand up.~
And the wolves?
~Hawk nodded, but the man shifted slightly to level that gaze on Colt.~
Come forward Wolf....
~Colt looked at Corbin and then stepped forward slowly.~
Explain to me why we should help you and your pack?
~Colt shifted for a moment and then Corbin would watch the young wolf take on his brother's persona, all alpha.~
We are not a normal pack. We know the wolves are not looked kindly upon by other shifters. The pack I was born into was large and we rarely saw other shifters. But my brother, when he became alpha of the Virginia pack began an accord with the coyote pack on the Cherokee Res near our home.
~Again there was another shift and murmur. The old chief smiled a bit.~
I see... but that is another pack, not the one you are in now.
~Colt nodded.~
No, it is not the one I am in now. The pack I am now is more of a family than a pack. We aren't just wolves... nor coyote... nor vampire... we have other shifters as well. We don't have a bias on who is in our pack by what they are... it's more about who they are... Hawk and Corbin are part of my pack because of who they are.
~The smile grew a bit on the old man's face.~
And who are they?
~Colt's head lifted.~
Family... strong, loyal and true... I'd give my life for either of them. And they've both proved they'd do they same for us.
~Again that murmur. The old man motioned for Colt to come forward. Colt didn't bother to look back this time, instead he just walked to the old man who motioned for him to sit. Colt sat down before the man who leaned in, seeming to size the wolf up.~
Tell me what you need from us.
~Colt took a deep breath.~
I don't know exactly what you can do. We were in Alaska, in Denali near another family of vampires... they are vegetarian, only feeding on animals, no humans. Some of the vampires with us are being hunted by another vampire from Paris. He found us and managed to convince the other group to help him. We lost three of them to this vampire. He's no doubt tormenting them, or worse. My Alpha, Beta and some of the others have already gone to Paris and are awaiting help from the other shifters to be rid of this vampire once and for all. He'd killed almost an entire pack of wolves in Paris. One of the vampires that was taken is new, young and this vampire forced his creation, even though he was marked by the pack to be a wolf.
~The old man sighed and seemed to be thinking. He held up his hand for Colt to stop speaking. He then looked over to Hawk and Corbin.~
Hawk Blackfeather.... Corbin Blackfeather.... do you claim this pack as your own as this wolf says?
~Hawk's head lifted just a bit.~
Yes.... I do....
~He waited for Corbin to respond and when he did, the chief nodded.~
The council will discuss this problem... until then, you may leave. We will call you when we are ready to speak to you.
~Colt stood and moved back to Corbin. Hawk shifted and nudged them both outside. When they exited, they'd find several others standing around wanting to hear what was going on. Hawk ignored the group and went to find a beer. Colt and Corbin moved along after him. Hawk grabbed a beer, tossed one to both of the others and dropped down near the fire that had been built.~
