I sat in the empty warehouse waiting for the greater Alpha who rules this territory. I was a bit nervous, and was ready for my nuclear option.
I hoped it really didn't come to that.
I yawned, whether it was the actual leader a representative was irrelevant, as long as I can be left alone it's fine.
I heard the door open and got off the floor, I needed to meditate for a bit to clear my head.
I turned and saw exactly what I expected, a muscular strong man with a mullet and scowl as he took my form in.
Then I saw Joshua walk in resigned and the worried Richard siblings and Nina was not happy same with Mathis.
There was something I was missing and I prepare some glamour. I had an abundance of It now. I kept my silence and my smile as I reached for the contract of stone and- my element of flame.
The man turned to Joshua and asked ", you made sure he was one of them?"
I ignored the obvious display of a power play and simply said ", you want me to play liaison with the court's correct?"
." Courts? Don't you mean a pack or pride?" Jonathan asked but quickly wilted at the combined glare of the mullet guy and Nina. Never thought a werewolf would have a confidence issue or maybe it was something more?
"It's a four-ruler system decided via election of the four faction's discretion with an exchange of rulers per times of the year of each of the four parties," I explained with gusto and warping my mask a little to let my eyes glow gold and the slit pupils to be exemplified by the light.
Their sudden tensed forms told me I did it right as my blasé smile appeared inviting.
"That means what?" Nina asked with her deadpan expression.
"It means first I would have to find out who is the current ruling faction, speak to their representative, and plead my case to them in a manner that would convince them to make a treaty with your faction," I said brightly.
I also needed to make some allies speak to the current kings or queens and try to keep to their side if there is a bump in this little plan of theirs.
I had to convince them that I was not a loyalist scumbag.
"I also might need to convince them that being bitten by a werewolf won't turn them into one," I said with the same bright tone.
Mullet growled at me but I kept to my exuberance and he grounded out ", be serious about this."
I just chuckled as I said", oh, I am, but you should know that I'm the one who is most likely to end up lynched if this goes sour."
That got confused looks I kept my smile at their perplexed looks.
I just kept my smile as I said ", those of my kind are very suspicious and quite frankly I'm new blood, so while I will attempt to best of my abilities to make things go as promised I can say that a dramatic failure on my part will leave me in the grave in a place you won't be able to find."
Mullet glared at me furious and everyone else tensed as fur started popping out of him ", are saying we're just wasting time with you."
I kept my smile as I answered ", I'm saying that in the unlikely event I fail to convince them I will most likely be a corpse,"
Mullet calmed down a bit and grunted ", how unlikely are we talking about."
"Oh, they won't kill on the spot, they'll in all likelihood make me pledge my intentions, gauge the pros and cons about allying with werewolves, most likely hold a vote, make sure I'm properly vetted and not under some mind control, and I'll pushing to have an open dialogue wi -" I paused as a whiff of glamour burned my nostrils.
I sniffed the air deeply and smile showing teeth ", or they somehow found out about this and have been listening in."
"Wha," was all mullet could say as a tapping was heard through the warehouse. I looked at a window and saw a bird, a dove that I'm sure didn't migrate anywhere near Canadian territory pecked at the window on my right.
I smiled as I walked to let the thing, I was sure wasn't a dove in.
"Wait what the hell are you doing letting that bird in here?" Jaxon demanded as he took steps to follow me but Joshua held his shoulder and shook his head.
I let it in and it flew to the railing on the second story part of the warehouse there it sat staring down at me.
I kept my smile as I politely waved ", so are you going to give us whatever message you have or leer because I doubt you want to waste yours and our time?"
The bird gave a tweet that spelled amusement.
"It's just a-" mullet stopped talking as I motioned him to stop which he growled at me, I resisted an eye roll and motioned the bird to continue with a roll of my hand.
Suddenly the bird form expanded in a human shape.
Long plump legs connected to wide child bearing hips, with a thin waist and impressive bust. Her neck was long and slender, a sharp chin, small mouth and slightly pointed nose. Her eyes were wide avian like with deep violet irises and a light purple sclera with long lashes, Her round head was covered with waist length wavy feather like pinkish hair.
She wore a midriff showing top with a skirt that split down the sides at mid-thigh reaching down to her feet with ridiculously high heels.
I glanced at the wolves and noticed mullet was staring hard at her, I had the feeling that someone wanted to ruffle some bird feathers. The rest were varying levels of baffled, aroused, and jealous.
I noticed dancing leaves around her form, bright vibrant, very much of spring.
"I take it you're an envoy to the hold?' I asked pointedly.
She smiled calmly and mysteriously, slowly working her magic burning a bit of glamour to make herself more glamorous…
Felt dumb for thinking that.
She stared at mullet like she liked what she saw and gave him the look of desire.
Meh to each their own taste.
"While I'm glad you've taken a liking to the lycan, may you please do as you came to do," I said calmly ignoring the spike of annoyance behind me.
The bird pouted, she made a show slowly persed her lips like a kiss towards mullet whose head lolled towards in response. I felt a bit sick but swallowed it down as I remembered my flirting with –
I started burning glamour to keep my head clear.
I didn't want any of the crazy to pop out.
The bird glanced my way then tweeted towards a window. She probably thought I was getting ready to fight.
A bird flew in, it looked like a falcon with a fancily embroidered green leaf covered envelope. She put out her hand in an exaggerated fashion, the falcon dropped the fancy envelope in her hand. I noticed nail were wicked talons painted a deep red.
They looked rather lethal.
She threw the letter at me with her nose turned up in disgust. It fell at my feet and I rolled my eyes as I crouched down to pick it up. It smelt of roses with lavender. I read the fancy script addressed to the 'Wolves pet cat.'
She smiled mullet's way, I heard a low rumble of male satisfaction. I remembered- I burned a bit more glamour to keep my composure.
She tsk'd at me and I just rolled my eyes at her. She took her index finger and blew a kiss at mullet and I just rubbed my eyes in annoyance just to clear my thoughts.
She gave another calm smile as she petted her falcon and just like that her form shifted to the same type of bird and she with it flew out together.
I hated her already.
"Damn, that was a fine ass, hmm," was all mullet said as he rubbed his bearded chin..
I sighed and decided to just say my thought to the birdy.
"I'd recommend not chasing a fairest, it leads to pain, loss, and a lot of 'why is this happening to me'," I stated plainly.
Mullet gave me a severe look and asked ", what does that mean?"
I just sat down the floor looking at the envelope as I spoke ", just like you Uratha we have different spheres similar to your Blood Talon, Iron Masters, Bone Shadows, Hunter in Darkness, and Storm Lords."
"For example, I am a Beast," I said cutting into the side of the envelope with my claws ", I'm more on the wild side as a result and am more prone to following base instincts able to sympathize with animals better than most normal people."
I gently took out the parchment paper with fancier font that reminded me of old cursive. I continued ", but Fairests, like that bird, are more human based able to manipulate and charm people with their looks, strong presence that can be felt by anything humanoid, naturally politically savvy, but they're also known for drawing prey in with themselves as bait and making toys out of whoever catches their fancy."
I turned to mullet and ignored the sudden realization that the Cold Wind pack surrounded me. I decided to ignore the proximity of the violation of my personal space.
"I'd rather not have to find out if she's toying with you or how serious you want to be about a bit of flirting, so please don't go hunting for her if you'd don't mind risking being put through the wringer," I said with the flattest expression I mustered.
Mullet grunted my way but I ignored him and took out the fancily, gold embossed, and mint green letter.
I skimmed through and debated whether this was a good thing or not.
"Looks like they want to meet up in the Assiniboine Park Zoo entrance Door, 3:00 A.M tomorrow," I stated.
I felt a strange feeling about this.
I passed the note to mullet, he stared at the letter. For a second his expression got intense before going back to normal.
Once again, my intuition flared a warning.
I know that I'm paranoid, but this was something given by a creature of the fae.
I kept the suspicion off of my form as mullet and the pack said that they were heading out.
I needed to think up a few contingency plans.
