We walk up to the door of white-hair, and mark it all up.

"Zed?" She said as she opened the door.

"𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐮𝐬."

"𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐬𝐨 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭?" She ponders.

"𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞." Wyatt reveals.

"𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠?"She asks.

"𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐚 𝐰𝐨𝐥𝐟 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭. 𝐈𝐟 𝐰𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮,𝐰𝐞'𝐝 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐲𝐨𝐮." I say.

Wynter starts coughing like mad. I let her lean on me for support.

"𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐨𝐤𝐚𝐲?" Addison asks hurriedly.

"She doesn't need your pity" I scoff.

"𝐌𝐲 𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐤𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞." Wynter whimpers.

"𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫.𝐀𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐞𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐥, 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐬......𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 t𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐭𝐨 𝐮𝐬.𝐓𝐨 𝐦𝐞.𝐘𝐨𝐮'𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐞, 𝐖𝐲𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫.𝐈 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐞." I smile at Wynter."𝐘𝐨𝐮'𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬." I give Wyatt a weary look.

"𝐖𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐨𝐧. 𝐅𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐮𝐬, 𝐀𝐝𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧. 𝐏𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞." Wyatt says, showing off his fangs.

"The wolf den!" I say proudly.

"Wow." Addison gasps.

"It's okay to be impressed." I smirk.

"Our language, Awoo! That means welcome." Wyatt howls.

"Awo?" She tries.

"Ostrich boots?" Wynter laughs.

"No, I think Addison meant, Awoo" Wyatt tries again.

"Awooo?"

"Polka dot unicorn? Cool, where? Oh, no. Sorry, um.Uh...Whoa, whoa, language.There are were-pups around." Wyatt scolds.

"She needs to put a pebble in the swear-wolf jar." Wynter grins.

"I am so sorry." White-Hair looks down.
"Enough.This is not why we brought her here." I growl.
"Why am I here?" White-Hair asks.
"I believe you will lead us to the moonstone. I believe you're the Great Alpha. I believe you're a werewolf." Wyatt howls; his eyes lighting up.

"What?!" she asks.
