Patrick sighed; he'd guessed, but he'd not been sure. Damn it. Closing his eyes, he ran the beer bottle over his face, then opened them again. "Damn it." He said softly.
Caleb's entrance turned his attention away from his mental musings and he turned, sniffing. Mmm, pizza. A wry smile curved his lips; he actually liked pizza quite a bit. "Good evening, Caleb." He said softly.
His sniff indicated more than just the pizza, but hey. He was sitting there drinking a beer. And at least Caleb looked like he was walking straight. He made a mental note (another one in a long series) to have a talk with him about it, but not tonight. Taking a slice of pizza out of the box, he shook his head, smiling tiredly at the younger man. "No skin for you tonight, but if you're so eager, I'll strip for you later." He teased quietly.
He took a bite of the pizza, sighing in pleasure. He loved pepporoni. Yet another blow for his big-bad-packleader rep. He winked at Ella as he did so.

Ella chuckled. At least he was making jokes now. That made her brighten up. She scooted to the edge of her seat. She was going to encourage this. Caleb was gaining more brownie points just for making Patrick smile.
"I think I would like to see that actually." She grinned impishly at Caleb. "We could gather the entire pack together and set him up on a rather nice little stage." She giggled. Raising out of her chair and kissing Caleb's cheek. "I have a boa you could wear dearest."
She grinned, exiting for a moment then returning with two fresh beers for her and Patrick and then a third for Caleb. She passed them out and then pranced around Patrick. "It would be oh, so much fun darling." She kissed his nose and then grabbed Caleb's hands, prancing him along with herself.
They had all been too tense lately. The pack needed to e reminded that they were allowed to have a good time despite what was happening. Obviously Caleb had been doing a good job of this already. She was hoping that their commotion would gain the others attention.

Her stomach rumbled as she smelt the delicious scent of pizza float into her room. She had taken up one in the place Patrick set up for the pack because, well, her only other home was a small cottage in France with a drunken mother. And truly, this place was so much better than there. Not quieter…just better. Warmer, more like what her home used to be, before her father had left her mother…
But they weren’t her family anymore. No, this pack was her family. Ever since she was turned into a werewolf, she had been a loner. But then she met Patrick luckily after her first run in with a vampire and he took her in, fixed her up, and offered her a place to stay. She was eternally grateful to him and his hospitality. The people she now lived with were more of a family than the people who gave birth to her ever were.
Pushing her body up from the bed, Ayden Marie crossed the tiny space she called her room and walked out to the main area where Patrick, Ella and Caleb were currently in. She smiled at the familiar faces and walked over to Caleb, since he was the one with the food. Even though she had been in the pack for a while and was familiar with mostly everyone by now, she still was iffy around a few people. Luckily, none of these people where like that to her.
”Caleb, you are a god in disguise,” Ayden said as she took a piece of pizza from one of the five boxes her had. ”Hello Patrick, Ella,” Ayden said, greeting the Alpha of the pack and Beta. The two were her new parental figures, and Ayden was happy she got lucky by finding such a great pack. Ayden took an empty seat and nibbled at the pizza, listening in on the conversation. Her English was getting much better since being around so many people who speak it and not French, but her accent was still there and she still had some trouble with a few words, so normally Ayden waited to talk unless spoken too.

He was just about to inch away from the room when the compliments came in, the obvious looks of gratitude and the returned jibes made him want to run out and just howl... But that could always come later, right now he did allow his chest to swell up just a bit and pasted on his patented Caleb-smirk.
"No skin for you tonight, but if you're so eager, I'll strip for you later."
His lips formed a perfect 'O', eyebrows raising comically as he noisily licked pizza sauce from his fingers, "Ooooh, meeeoooowwrrrr! Now wouldn't that be m'latest box of eye candy! If y'let me take photos ,you get a niiice spot next to my Marilyn Monroe poster."
He could see the lines of exhaustion on Patrick's, and it only made Caleb want to try and ease them away.
"I think I would like to see that actually. We could gather the entire pack together and set him up on a rather nice little stage. I have a boa you could wear dearest."
The kiss on the cheek spread a small fine blush across his face, and if anything his smirk grew into a grin so wide his cheeks , waggling his brows and running the tip of his tongue over a white canine.
"Aye, that boa better match me lacy garters and corset luv, you wouldn't want the pack to think that ol'Caleb ain't got no fashion sense aye?"
It was good to see Ella smile too, as hard as she worked in keeping the pack together and checking up on those weird rumors... Who was Caleb to deny them a few laughs?
The rootbeer abandoned for the beer, he took a few large gulps and did a sort of jig along with Ella as she took him by the hands into an impromptu dance, singing loudly and intentionally off key.
"Oh there once was a man from Nantucket, who carried his balls in a bucket!..."
But his bawdy caterwauling was interrupted by the arrival of their latest pack member, and she too was given the customary once over and cheeky smirk.
”Caleb, you are a god in disguise,”
"Who said anythin' about a disguise eh?"
He grinned and tilted his chin in a mock-haughty manner, lifting his beer can to her in a toast.

Patrick sipped his beer and ate his pizza, smiling at the antics of Ella and Caleb. When Ayden came in, he flashed her a quick smile of greeting, then shook his head at Ella and Caleb's teasing.
"You'd all like that too much." he mock-grumbled, grabbing another slice of pizza. "I know I'm good-looking, but you're all just going to have to stay happy with mental images. Except Ella, of course." he said, then stuffed another bite into his mouth.
He could feel himself relaxing. This was his family, his friends and his lover. He couldn't be upset around them. He could tell they were trying hard to make him smile and just knowing that alone was enough to bring one to his face. He loved them, every one of them. "You're all a bunch of idiots." He growled, the smile still in place.

Ella snickered and grinned at Patrick. She pranced over to Patrick and wrapped her arms around him from behind. "Hello Ayden." It was hard to keep from laughing too hard. Caleb was cracking her up. "Oh well, sorry Caleb. I guess It's only going to be a private show."
She chuckled. "And we are not idiots my darling. We are just falling all over ourselves for you." She kissed his cheek and laughed, looking up at Caleb and Ayden.
"We could find a way to persuade him to change his mind. I think that it would do the pack good to have a bit of entertainment. Any idea's?"

Ayden looked between the three others in the room. All she knew was something about entertainment and trying to get Patrick to go along with it. What? Ayden looked at Caleb, the question showing in her eyes then to Ella and finally to Patrick. She missed something and simply chewed on her slice of pizza and shook her head as she watched the banter.
”What’s this about entertainment?” She asked once her sliced was finished. Ayden stood and walked over to Caleb and snatched another slice. ”I think Ella’s right, I want entertainment. Oh! Let’s go out to a club or something! As a pack, you know dancing together, having fun, party-hardy!” Ayden danced a bit to show a bit more emphasis on her words. She hadn’t been to a club since she became a werewolf but has been wanting to and it used to be her form of entertainment. So maybe it could work for the pack. If not, oh well, she could drag someone out with her.

Katra looked at Michael and chuckled slightly. "You really know how to attract trouble huh?" She told him but she grabbed a needle and thread and then started to put his fingers back on his hand. It didnt take long because she was skilled at this kind of thing and she had to this once before for someone else. In a few minutes she was done. "There ya go." She told him and then she heard the commotion from the room she had just left.
She went back in to the room in time to hear Ayden say something about clubbing. She smiled and walked over to the pizza box and grabbed a piece of pizza and bit into it. "I like Aydens idea of clubbing. It would be fun. And what did I miss that got everyone so riled up?" She asked with a teasing tone.

"Oh well, sorry Caleb. I guess It's only going to be a private show."
"Che."
He snorted and flopped down on a nearby chair, swinging one denim clad leg over the arm, "y'lot are no fun... But if y'give me a copy of the tape Ella, we could put it up on Youtube and make lots of cash!"
Patrick's 'idiots' remark was met with a bright smug grin and sticking out of the tongue, one would actually think he had paid them all the highest compliment of the century.
Finishing the last gulp of beer, he put the can on his nose and tried to balance it... with a few failed attempts of course.
”What’s this about entertainment? I think Ella’s right, I want entertainment. Oh! Let’s go out to a club or something! As a pack, you know dancing together, having fun, party-hardy!”
Placing the empty can on the top of his head, Caleb grinned over at Ayden and gave in his vote of agreement, while still managing to keep the can steady on its perch.
"Ace! I like that plan... Y'could call it uh... Pack excursion."
A throaty laugh and he idly scratched his lightly stubbled chin.
"I like Aydens idea of clubbing. It would be fun. And what did I miss that got everyone so riled up?"
"Ello Princess!"
He waved to Katra from his lazy sprawl on the chair.
"We're just commin up with ways to keep our fighting spirits up s'all."

Katra leaned against the wall and raised an eyebrow at the conversation that was goin around. What had she missed that involved a tape and youtube? But in a way she didnt want to ask. She probably didnt want to know. But she grabbed another slice of pizza and smiled at Calebs response. "Well I figured that since we are talking about clubbing."
She shrugged slightly and then sat down on the floor spreading out her long legs and watching everyone from her spot on the floor. She was comfortable and she hadnt had a sat in a long time. She needed one. And everyone was just playing around at the current time. "And if we want some fun I say the clubbing."

Tillie had been trying to read in the next room, but the ruckus had pulled her away from her novel and she peeked into the room that was now inhabited with a nice size of the pack. She vaguely knew what they had all been discussing. She had caught little tid bits here and there.
Something about Caleb in a boa, Patrick stripping, Ella recording it and now clubbing. Were they going to put Patrick in an amateur contest at a local nudie male club. She scrambled to her feet and pranced in with her usual delighted smile. They were all too much fun.
She wiggled her fingers excitedly at everyone. When her gaze landed on Caleb she smiled quickly but darted her eyes away. She flopped down beside Ayden and tried to focus on Ella and Patrick. She snickered and shot her arm up in he air. "I vote we go to the club."
She batted her eyes teasingly at Patrick, still under the impression that he was going to preform onstage for a bunch of riled up women at a sleazy nudie bar. It wasn't that she wanted to see Patrick naked, eww, she thought this was really amusing and fun. Maybe they could all take bets and force someone else up on stage as well.

Patrick froze; this was getting a little out of hand. "I am NOT going clubbing." He growled, leaning back into Ella a little. "That's totally out of the question."
He glanced at the various members of his pack and felt an honest-to-god blush creeping up his cheeks. How long had it been since he'd blushed? "You can all go if you want, but I'm staying right here, ok?"
He glanced at Tillie, a little startled by her teasing flirtation. "Not going." he growled again.

A deep rumble of a laugh escaped her mouth as she leaned over and kissed Patrick's nose. She looked back up and laughed at Tillie. The young wolf always made her laugh. She pulled Patrick against her in a protective manor.
"I vote that if none of us are going to sleep then it might be fun to go out." She smiled at Ayden. "I think that it is a rather good idea." She pouted down at Patrick, "I'm not going to go it you don't go." She mock whimpered and pawed at his shoulder.
She didn't want Patrick brooding about alone, but she didn't want any of the pack going out clubbing by themselves either. It was getting too dangerous for eveyone to be out at all hours of the night. Temporary peace treaty or not, Ella didn't trust Xavier or his coven.

Evelynn walked down the streets thinking about the new pack she joined. She never thought she would join a new pack, and she missed her pack from home. Homesickness? Ha. I've never felt that before. But it was dangerous times around here and if she wanted to be safe, she had better befriend this new pack of hers. She really liked the different personalities in this pack. She was comforted by them. Perhaps, they might just break me out of this funk.Evelynn was getting closer to them. She could faintly smell the group from a distance. She stopped and leaned against the closest building. She just needed to breath for a minute. Pulling her gloves on tighter, arranging the charcoal pea coat she was extremely fond of, fixing her appearance. For them. She wanted to be liked. Just RELAX Eve.... you'll be fine.Kicking off the building, she resumed her path to her pack. When she reached the door, she poised her hand to knock on the door, then pulled it away. I can just walk in, right? she lightly rapt on the door and then pushed it open. Evelynn stepped inside and erupted into a giggle. Everyone seemed in a lovely mood, bouncing around, dancing. All except her pack leader. Something was up. He looked really tired.
"Hey guys. Do i smell pepperoni pizza? And Beer??? My fav!" she said scampering over to the opened box of pizza and taking a slice. She pushed her Black curls back out of her face and turned her green eyes to all the other faces. |

Jeremiah had heard about a pack, a pack that almost ever werewolf was either in or new about. He looked down at the map someone had drawn out for him. Another werewolf. Why he had trusted him so much, he would never know. He walked up to the building. The door was open. He walked in. His boots clicking against the tile. He heard talking and smelt...pizza? He walked into the room and saw a bunch of people. Well, werewolves, sitting around, talking. He took a deep breath and moved a little closer. Come on, Jeremiah. You can do it, you have to...for Scarlett. Jeremiah coughed loud enough so everyone could hear. "Um, I have a question..." He hesitated. "Well, actually, two... He stood there, shaking a little, waiting for someone, anyone to reply.
