know, they can be such a pain sometimes” she laughed as she walked off, still talking as she walked into the camping section I’d eyed off earlier. “We actually have something that matches exactly what you’re looking for, and I know how hard some of the pressure family can bring, so I’ll give you a discount if you want.” She said, clearly thinking back to some kind of memories that I pretend to share with her.

“Oh, you’re a blessing, I’ve had such a bad day with the mixed baggage and all, thank you so much you’re an absolute darl” I said, as she handed me an army green duffel bag.

“Well I hope your day gets better, the clothing section is just to your left if you want to pick out a few ensembles, they can be discounted too” She clearly felt bad for me, poor small-minded girl. I felt bad for her.

“Thank you so much, you really are amazing” I said, returning her sincere smile, As she dumped the bag and scanned it on her little cashier machine. I strummed my fingers through the sale section, knowing I needed to save my money, my words had been chosen carefully and rewarded me with discounts but even still, going for sale stock couldn’t hurt. Grabbing a few dark denim jeans and casual short sleeves, as well as things I’d missed for a while, decent underwear, not the thong Jay had provided or the commando situation. Fulfilling my current satisfaction, I headed over with my new clothes, along with a pair of laced thick army boots that would surely do better than the poor joggers that barely held together on my feet. Placing them atop the counter, I landed one more sad smile, earning as many more brownie points as possible with the girl as she scanned my items one by one. My eyes darted to a pack of mints on show at the counter, I quickly took a pack, stuffing them into my shoe, pretending to tie my shoe lace. I got back up as she packed my last item into a plastic bag and placing it next to the duffel bag on the counter.

“That’ll be $57 with the added discounts,” She shot her hand out, obviously practiced multiple times, I whipped a $50 note out of my bra and 7 of the $1 coins from the payphone, noting the leftover $130 for later instances. She gave me one last smile as I grabbed my bags and strutted out,

“Have a nice day,” she called out as I pushed open the door,

“You too,” I yelled back, already crossing the street in an even faster pace. I needed to get back to the bar, it seemed to be the place I was going to meet the boys in. Surely, it’s the first place they would go anyway. Cheap bars were like their second home. I just hoped the amethyst-eyes douchebag was ready to leave before the gang came, they would surely see my discomfort and then I didn’t want to imagine what would happen next. I realised how fast I must have been going, as the same bell from earlier rang as I pushed open the crappy bar door. “You again,” I heard the bartender mumbled from behind his bar,

“Me again,” I grumbled back, “My table?”

“Over in the corner as you asked” he said, clearly disgruntled at the thought of his manhood coming through his throat. I cursed realising as I strutted over to the corner, sitting at the end of the table that backed the wall, so I could see everything in the bar without everything in the bar seeing me, that those same amethyst eyes were still there, more drunk then before but still there, staring at me.

I plopped the duffel bag and plastic shopping bag under my chair protectively, grabbing a grey cap to cover my eyes for extra protection over eye contact, of which I hadn’t paid for. Along with some sunnies, a hair brush and the mints amongst the stuff I didn’t pay for. A small hint of guilt stung at me from inside but I ignored it, realising that the feeling I was being watched, not by Ace, but from this morning, had disappeared. I took it as a moment to relax, tipping the hat to avoid all possible eye contact and closing my eyes for brief, short relaxing moments. I opened my eyes one more time to see the bottom half of a male, a stumbling male, realising the moment was better now than later I ripped off my cap to meet the full body of a completely and shamefully drunk Ace.

“What do you want? You’re drunk, don’t waste my time” I snapped, but he was un-fazed,

“You’ve got 5 chairs the that beckon to me and my friends, the exact amount, I’m sure your girlfriends who are probably coming to meet you won’t mind” he held a hand hovering above the chair, but he noticed the same thing I did, 5 individual bell rings from the front. A giant smile crept across my face,

“Ya heard that Franky? I think you’d make a lovely girlfriend of mine don’t you think so?” I could hear his thunking steps as the tank of a man appeared at the other end of my table, arms crossed, pissed, but ready to joke.

“I feel I might be missing some of the feminine structure” he said, flinching his large biceps to prove his point. I couldn’t help but smile even wider, I swear my lips would break. As 3 more figures appeared behind him, all sharing the same dangerous grin.

“I dunno,” I said, making an obvious fake chin rub as if I was actually thinking about this, “This fella here obviously disagrees” The devious grins seemed to drop of the gangs faces, as they looked towards Ace, who now stumbled even more than before. I guess when he was drunk he dropped the strong-man act.

“I feel slightly unwelcome, boss I think we should leave.” Peter, in the same drunk state as his Alpha didn’t wait for Ace’s quarrel, as he and the 3 others turned to stumble out. The bell ringing as they exited. He leaned into my ear,

“You haven’t forgotten your promise, you’re not very good at hiding it.” You could hear the smirk in his voice, but this time, I felt it more like a challenge. He’s daring me to follow the other half of me that wanted him. Not happening. I felt his body get thrown onto the wall behind me, as I digested his sentence.

“I think you better follow your little friends and make way, bud” I heard Franky’s deep voice threaten at Ace, but I kept my head staring straight ahead. I heard Ace chuckle. At this state, he’s probably fight Franky without a thought. Even though Franky was a much bigger than him.

“Let him go, Franky, the guy’s drunk.” I said coldly, pretending I knew nothing of the man named Ace.

I heard him drop to his feet and slowly follow the track of his pack. Gladly, he didn’t cause a scene.

I stood up and pressed myself into the waiting thick body of Franky, slapping his back hard as we let go of our embrace, “How are you goin, Frank?” I asked, but not waiting for an answer I turned to the other 3 waiting for their turn, the slim but smart Lan. I had to thank him, he was the one who found where I was in the first place. I turned to him giving him a peck on the forehead, as he was shorter and less of a tank so it was easier. I then turned to Mongo, he was tapping his foot,

“You’ve never been the patient one, Mongo, I guess things don’t change.” I grinned as I slapped into an amazing handshake we’d made up years ago.

Then finally I turned to Hue, with his average build and large scar that I knew drew from his heart to his hip peeking through the low-cut t-shirt he wore, Jye’s swords at his belt. Before I could question he grabbed me, holding me in a deep embrace and settling his head next to mine. “This is from me and Jye” he said sadly,

“Speaking of the devil.” I pulled away and went to sit back in my chair as the boys took their own seats, all but one empty chair. “Give me the story, now, why couldn’t you have just told me. even if there was someone else on the line, surely he’s not in that big of trouble-” my rant was cut off by the looks they were giving me,

“In a way,” Lan started,

“He technically is,” Hue finished,

“Just think of it as a little trip, you know Jye, he’ll be back in no time” Franky added wearily.

“Does he even know where to go?” I asked, scared he’ll get lost even if he finished his
 ‘Trip’

“Yeah, of course, we wouldn’t let him be in the dark” Lan stated,

“You would probably kill us if we did” Mongo piped in,

“True.” I confirmed, if they ever decided to leave any one of the brothers in the dark I would definitely make them regret it. But they never would. Not just for fear of what I might do. They just wouldn’t. the brothers were loyal, to each other and to me, neither of which would betray the other. Ever. They were the exact kind of people I’d needed right now.

“Ay, Bartender, chuck a few over ‘ere, I need some booze!” Mongo said, still egotistical as normal.

I chuckled, but my worry for Jye and why the brothers wouldn’t tell me where he is growing by the minute. Hue rose his hand, stopping the bartender in his tracks,

“Mongo, are you forgetting all about how to actually celebrate a coming together such as this?” He said, waving his finger like he was telling off a naught child.

“Something better than booze,” Franky chuckled,

“Better than booze, thought impossible,” Mongo continued,

“The 5 deadly sins, the brotherhood and all other names,” Lan joined,

“We get it, we make the special shots to make everybody happy, it’s a reunion not a movie you dramatic little bitches” I stopped their little scene, breaking it off. I didn’t have much patience at the moment, Jye’s missing presence was making me uncomfortable by the minute, as well as Ace’s challenging words. And the fact that I hadn’t seen Jackal since he pushed me into that red tornado thing. As well as, me avoiding the realisation that I was different than before, more so, powerful. I felt more connected to my wolf than ever, and I know she felt it too. Instead of acting like two separate beings, I felt we were one – and I loved that feeling of having her not just by my side.

Hue stood up, sliding the chair along the stone floor.  “fine, Miss Impatient, I’ll serve the drinks up,” He took a glance at the bartender, “You wouldn’t mind if I borrowed your bar for a sec, I’ll pay you for it don’t worry” the bartender eyed him for a moment, but nodded, turning to clean up after the mess Ace and his pack had left. And the random appearing house that literally burned its way onto my map.

Hue got to work behind the bar, filling five shot glass with random beverages, fulfilling the excitement of the 3 boys left at the table with me. With Hue and Jye gone, Franky, Mongo and Lan were always easy to squeeze information out of, for me at least. I shifted my position, taking my feet up onto the table and staring directly into Mongo’s eyes.

“I don’t- “he started, fear in his eyes as he knew exactly what was about to happen.

“Yes you do, Mongo you know exactly what’s going on. Don’t lie to a liar.” I blocked him off,

“Go easy on us, Snow, if it was right for us to tell you where he is, we would have already.” Lan tried to help
