---- Laziel''s cool voice sounded as he came in behind the muscr redhead. "Come on, drop that stiff face like your father''s. Come stand by me, see if the wolfish spirit rubs off on you," Aldric slung an arm over his grandson''s shoulders, patting him and walking with him at his side. Laziel sighed. Well, he was going toe anyway because he''d felt his female''s presence.

    In so many years, Aldric had never taken him to the wild side, much as he''d tried, and his favorite lycan still hadn''t given up hope. He respected his grandparents more than his own parents; every time he had free time, the Lycan King dragged him into one of his hunting-crazed adventures. Drir watched him pull those rustic leather pieces out of nowhere and thought Laziel was some poor sorcerer''s assistant. Actually... where had that terrifying cloud in the sky gone?

    Did these lycans move the elements of nature too? He thought nothing could surprise him anymore, but he had no idea how many times his jaw would drop in the future. "Prince, aren''t you going to make the introductions?" Aldric stopped in front of Zarek and Draco. ---- In the middle of the inner courtyard of the fortress, surrounded by the curious eyes of nervous soldiers "He is the Wolf Lord of this fief..." "And his son-inw, Victoria''s mate.

    My name is Drir." Draco made his position clear right away, in front of so many males. Supposedly they were all Victoria''s family, but damn those genes, What if there was some old romantic rival? The bloody aura thickened around Zarek. Aldric and the others looked at Drir with interest. Fresh blood to challenge in the next family training. "Wasn''t the girl supposed to be enved and in danger?" Cedrick arched a brow, obvious mockery in his eyes, and Aidan elbowed him.

    He sympathized with Drir because now he was on the sons- inw''s side. Aldric snorted, but they decided to drop the joke because the vampire was turning fire-ant red. "Well, and these are..." Zarek started to introduce his rtives, ---- but this family wasn''t big on basic rules. "You''ve got part of my energy too.

    You were in contact with my heart..." Suddenly a ck-haired, scowling, feral man stepped out from behind the Lycan King, pointing at Drir and skipping all protocol, what with what was hanging beneath his loincloth. Zarek sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose, and Alpha King Cedrick had to press his mouth shut not to burst outughing. This Drakkar was a real character. "Uh... yeah... I received that blessing; I didn''t know it was yours...

    Thanks for sharing it," Drir said, still tense and also a bit lost at such an... unusual exchange. But despite the almostedic vibe, the aura of power around each of these lycans was undeniable. Especially around the one who had pointed at him That man was, without a doubt, that enormous beast; he could feel the pull of that power inside himself. "Do I have to give it back?" the thought hit him out of nowhere. Aidan and Cedrick looked toward Drakkar too, alert.

    ---- They hadn''t considered that. They had evolved as well, thanks to the wave of blessings that exploded when Khalum recovered that piece. "No, the gods found you worthy, I didn''t do anything," Drakkar replied with a shrug. Everyone involved looked at him, even Aldric. This man, despite his roughness and filterless honesty, had won them over like that, with humility. Possibly a deity among mortals, and he acted simpler than any of them.

    A nosy wolf deity on the hunt for his next victim: Lord Drir, who now looked at him with eyes full of admiration... and ignorance.
