Cora, Boyd, and Erica managed to make their way back alone to Derek. Where he and Cora enjoyed a small happy family reunion after so long apart, thinking the other dead.
The Alpha pack that captured them returned a week later to check on them after getting word of their miraculous escape from the one who was meant to feed and keep them alive until the time was right.
Made up of five members, Deucalion their leader, Ennis, Kali, and the twins, Ethan and Aiden walked into the abandoned bank.
Deucalion is a handsome, tall, and lean middle-aged man with blue eyes and sandy blond hair. Blind, his eyes are cloudy with a red ring around his iris due to the damage from the flash-bang arrowheads. He typically dresses in a casual, comfortable fashion, preferring button-up shirts and sweaters in neutral colors paired with jeans or slacks in black, navy, or khaki.
Ennis is a 6'4" giant; not only tall but very muscular as well, making him even more powerful than a typical Alpha. He has tanned white skin, dark brown eyes, and a shaved head, and prefers simple clothing such as plain white t-shirts, jeans, and boots. When shifted, his eyes do not resemble that of a typical Alpha—instead of manifesting glowing bright red irises, his irises were blood red, glowing dully with a dark black ring around the outer rim, just like his packmate Kali.
Kali is a very tall, beautiful woman with a slim, athletic build. Her skin is the color of milk chocolate, and she has dark brown eyes and long, straight, shiny black hair. Her sense of style leans toward comfortable, bohemian-style clothing that is both stylish and functional during her many battles; this often included leggings and cropped shirts, sometimes with a vest or a zip-up jacket. Because the claws on her toes were her best weapon, she never wears shoes so that she is always prepared for a fight. She also typically wears dark, blood-red red nail polish on her fingernails and toenails, making the claws on both her hands and feet appear to be the same color.
Ethan is a lean and muscular young man of medium stature, with slightly tanned white skin, reddish-brown hair, and hazel eyes, though Ethan is slightly taller and leaner than his twin, Aiden, though just as muscular. The twins preferred dressing in trendy clothing, choosing designer jeans, v-neck t-shirts in various colors, black leather jackets, and motorcycle boots.
Aiden is a lean and muscular young man of medium stature, with slightly tanned white skin, reddish-brown hair, and hazel eyes, though Ethan is slightly taller and leaner than his twin, Aiden, though just as muscular. The twins preferred dressing in trendy clothing, choosing designer jeans, v-neck t-shirts in various colors, black leather jackets, and motorcycle boots.
Deucalion walking with his cane out in front leading the way stops upon reaching the broken vault door. Taking a breath, he asks,- "What do we have?" He asks, virtually blind without using his werewolf sight.
Kali looks at the area Nevan pierced through and tore it open, unable to get a good grasp on what happened,- "Best guess, it was ripped open, but I don't see how," she says.
"Some sort of powerful magic most likely, it seems they have a strong ally on their side," Deucalion states.
"What would you like us to do?" Ennis asks.
"Magic like this must have its limitations, it's time to start testing them, Derek will join us in the end, and Scott along with him, and then our pack will be complete or they will fall," says Deucalion, eyes glowing red behind his sunglasses.
