2 months later...

The past two months have flown by, Lucas and I have been training with Devin who I found out was extremely good at his job as head warrior. I came home most nights unable to move because of how hard of a beating he put on Lucas and myself.

We train twice daily, once in the morning and once at night. Alan spends his days with the vampire Lorenzo and Wanda spends her days with a witch who is apparently a friend of the pack.

This is what the Alpha and Luna have called our 're-education' since we apparently didn't know enough about our own kinds after being locked away.

I mean who wouldn't forget almost everything they know after being locked away in a tiny cage for four years of their life.

Devin and Alice teach Lucas and I what we need to know about the werewolf world at night for our nightly dinners. That is one thing Devin will not budge on, all of us must have dinner together and somehow Alice got herself an invite.

Today just like every other day Devin had Lucas and myself spar before we both worked together to fight against Devin. We always had to fight Devin either together or alone, and we always ended up with our asses on the ground covered in dirt and blood.

We were only allowed to spar with each other or Devin, as we are zwolves. The day after we first shifted or wolves well they went just a little bit crazy. It was foaming at the mouth and attacking any one type crazy. Devin was the only one game enough to put the time and effort into training us and for that our wolves only trust him, and Alice. She sometimes spars with us, but as she loves to remind us 'she is a lover not a fighter'.

At night while Lucas and I are nursing our wounds Alice and Devin teach us what we need to know about our world, once they started teaching us it all came back. It was like someone flicked on a light switch in our minds.

We remember how you couldn't hold eye contact with a wolf above your status for too long without showing them a form of submission unless you want to challenge them and most likely die. How to keep our wolves in check, and how to not to let our emotions overcome and control us.

I remember the first day after we went savage on some random wolf that came by our cabin Devin had us in the woods all of that day, night and the next day mastering our control. We had to shift back and forth multiple times until it became like blinking our eyes, it also took us a little longer for it to stop being painful for us to shift.

Devin has been training our bodies hard to work on our control while Alice has been working on our minds. She noticed that no matter what after that first shift our wolves were always on edge, that were skittish and ready to jump out and kill at any wrong move.

Not that any one can blame us, our wolves went through something terrible, they were more dead then what we were. I am still surprised that we even got them back.

Alice makes us talk about what happened in there, to open up about our feelings so that we can process them and move forward. It is a lot harder said then done. My mind tries to block it all out and my wolf gets snappy when anyone pushes too hard on us. She hates the pain and torment I went through just as much as I hate what she went through.

The one thing we haven't brought up is the one thing we should bring up. Our families. We all walk on eggshells about that topic, none of us are ready to open that yet and release all the pain we still feel for them. A part of me is scared to talk about them and deal with it though. I feel like if I move on from what happened to them I would forget them.

Lucas and I already have a sibling bond with each other our wolves see each other as brother and sister and they test each other constantly always trying to make the other better but also keeping the other on there toes.

Alice and Devin also had the fun night of explaining mates to us properly since our families never got the chance to. Apparently we have two types of mates out there in the world there is our one true mate, our 'ride or die' as Alice put it and then there is the second type of mate, Alice describe it as 'you could be my mate if we marked each other and have a strong and loving bond but once one of you met your true mate it would feel like there is nothing there. She calls them the maybe mate. She said that many wolves never meet their real mate so they stay with their maybe mate and they say that it feels like the real thing.

Devin didn't really want to help Alice out with this conversation because he found it way to awkward to talk about with his nephew and adopted niece. So he just sat on the other side of the table looking at the roof as if it was the most interesting thing in this entire world. He did however chime in from time to time like when he told us that maybe mates was not what we called them but possible mates. He said that maybe sounded degrading to those mates. He also told us that we could have an infinite number of possible mates out there but there was only ever one true mate.

We finished that night off by drinking it out of our memories when Wanda and Alan came back home from there training sessions. It was that night that Alice introduced us to tequila and it was also the night that I swore I would never ever drink it again. Well it was the morning after that I swore I would never drink it again as I woke up feeling as if I was about to die.

Everything in the past two months have been full on, but it has been fun in a way. But I am dreading tomorrow, tomorrow we have yet another meeting with Alpha Travis. He keeps having us come in for meetings for absolutely no reason at all and my wolf doesn't trust him, she feels as though there is something off about him.

Alice and Devin at the current moment do not like him, as he has done absolutely nothing to look into what happened to us, it is like he just brushed the whole hunters being alive thing to the side. Lorenzo, he also isn't happy about that. He came over one night ranting and raving over the fact that Travis is whipped and wont do anything unless Luna Carla gives him back his balls momentarily and gives him the okay.

I have come to like Lorenzo over the past two months. He is sarcastic and good fun to be around, he even lets Alan spar with us at times too, saying it is good for all of us. That we all need to let out some pent up anger.

In fact Lorenzo is coming over for dinner tonight, and is going to educate me in fine wines.

"Are you done in there yet?" Of course Lucas is yelling at me to get out of the bathroom, he spends more time in here then I do.

"Will you just give me one minute? JUST ONE FRICKING MINUTE! Is that too much to ask for?" I shout back to him, we always bicker about little things like this. Apparently it is fun to get on each other's nerves.

"Yes!" he laughs back at me as he starts banging on the door. I grumble that he is an annoying ass under my breath, as I get dressed drying out the last bits of water from my hair.

I unlock the door on his side of the bathroom. "Are you happy now?" I ask with a small smirk on my face, I have a plan to annoy him for rushing me in the bathroom.

"Very!" He laughs as he pushes me out of the bathroom and into my own room. I sit on my bed and wait until I hear the water turn on before I walk out into the kitchen.

Wanda just gives me a knowing look as she looks over the current witchcraft book she is studying and laughed at me while Alan walked in the door covered in some nasty gashes across his chest from his day with Lorenzo. He saw the wicked look in my eye and sighed rubbing his face with his hands. "So I guess I should wait before I get in the shower?" He sighed with a smile on his lips.

"Mmhmm." I nodded as I stood in front of the sink, I waited until we could all hear Lucas start to sing and then I turned the tap on. Stealing all of his hot water.

"YOU SON OF BIT-" he didn't get to finish his sentence as he let out a very high pitch squeal as I changed which tap I had on taking the water from freezing to boiling in a second. I kept this up until I heard him slam the shower door. I saw him walk out with a look of murder in his eyes to which Alan and Wanda just burst out laughing at. And I couldn't help but join in with before I left running up to Devin's where I would be safe. Devin has a no fighting rule in his house after we accidently broke his T.V one day.

Devin was cooking up the deer that Lucas and I took down the other day while we were hunting, He was making steaks from it I believe with roast veggies.

Lorenzo and Alice were both already there sitting on the couch gossiping, they could win an Olympic medal in gossiping it is all they know how to do some days.

"How is my favourite little rabid wolf?" Lorenzo smiled as I walked into the living room.

"Trying not to die." I laughed as I sat down between the two of them on couch. I could hear Devin sigh from the kitchen.

"Will you two ever stop acting like annoying little pups?" He asked

"Never!" Lucas let out a playful growl as he jumped on top of me, I didn't even hear him enter the house. Damn he is silent when he wants to be.

I let out a squeal as he jumped on me as Alice and Lorenzo just moved away from us laughing there assess off at us.

"Remember!" Devin yelled. "No fighting in this house our I will make you pay for it when I kick you're asses!" That was enough to make us stop momentarily. Before we gave each other a look that said that this wasn't over, not by a long shot.

We all sat around waiting for Devin to finish cooking and waiting for Alan and Wanda to show up and finally join us. When they did Lorenzo brought down some massive wine glasses and started teaching us about which wines were the best to drink. I found out that I like red wine doesn't matter the type I just like it. As did everyone but Alan, he likes white wine.

We spent the night eating and gossiping throwing jokes around at each other. If anyone were to look in on this you would think that we are 100% normal, well maybe not normal but just plan happy wolves, vampires and a witch.

*

Morning came quicker then we all would have liked, Devin said that Alpha Travis wanted to meet with us around lunchtime so we were going for an early morning run and then Lucas and I had a date with the ground. Alan and Lorenzo were also going to be joining us today.

We ran on Devin's favourite trail this morning, half of it was to be ran in our skin forms, and the other half in our wolf forms. This trail took us in a massive circle from his house around the pack and up to the train grounds. It was about an hour run in total. Today I did actually enjoy the run as we were racing with the two vampires challenge all of us to push ourselves harder until we reached the train grounds.

Devin had Lorenzo get us set up as he went to deal with his actual warriors, I had to Spar with Alan while Lucas took on Lorenzo. Lorenzo had Lucas on the ground in just a few minutes while Alan and I were going blow for blow with each other, I had broken three of his ribs and his wrist while he had broken two of my ribs and my nose but we refused to give up and concede to the other. We kept fight and breaking bones until I had Alan pinned to the ground with my claws around his throat.

After I took a few minutes to realign my bones and for Alan to do the same it was time for the three of us to take on Devin and Lorenzo. It is easy to say that they beat us, but we put up one hell of a fight, we even had some of Devin's warriors stopping what they were doing to watch us. Even Alpha Travis was watching us with a curious look in his eyes.

When we were done Devin order us to go home and shower and for Lucas to shower in his house so that we didn't fight over the bathroom which caused a little chuckle to slip out from all of us.

"What do you think the Alpha wants this time?" Alan asked as we all limped back home.

"I have no clue." I sighed

"Probably something stupid and pointless like last time, like the I am worried that you are going to hurt yourselves if you keep training." Lucas rolled his eyes.

"Probably!" Alan and I laughed

We all showered and just lounged around waiting for Wanda to finish her witch lesson for the day, which she absolutely hates. The witch, Tabitha who is teaching her doesn't let her do anything but read and draw plants and Wanda hates it, she wants to actually learn how to use her magic, how to control it and turn it into a weapon.

We all ate and just waited for Devin to take us up to the Alpha's office.

We all grumbled and bitched our way there wanting to be doing anything else in this moment of time until Devin growled at us and told us to watch our tongues. We had to be careful when we talked outside of his house.

A part of me feels as though Devin doesn't entirely trust this pack, as much as he loves his home.

Lorenzo, Alice and Tabitha met us outside of the pack us, apparently this was a meeting that involves all of us. We all waited for Alpha Travis to let us in, he was sitting behind his desk with Luna Carla on his lap once again, and I swear she is always on his lap.

"I have some good news for all of you." He smiled at us as we all took the seats on the other side of his desk. "We have found your packs, covens and family members." He smiled even wider so happy with this news while the four of us just sat there in shock. Were we ready for this?

"We have a few options for you at this moment." Luna Carla chimed in in her overly sweet voice.

"Since you are all okay to go back to normal life we can offer you a place here in the pack." Alpha Travis paused point at Lucas and myself. "And for you two, you can go with Lorenzo and Tabitha back to there covens." He smiled a smile that looked forced. "The other options are going back to your families and original packs and covens, we have spoken to them and they miss you all dearly and will take you back in a heartbeat."

I was still sitting in shock when Alice piped up. "What family members have you found?" she asked as Devin leaned forward very interested in this conversation.

"We found Wanda's parents, Alan's uncle, Lucas's grandmother on his fathers side and Lucinda's parents." Luna Carla spoke in her singsong voice.

Them saying that they found my parents pushed me further into shock, how could they find the people who ran out on me years and years ago when I was just a small pup?

"You don't have to make a decision right now, take some time and think it over. Talk to everyone here and come back to us within three days." Alpha Travis spoke leading us to the door out of his office.
