not liking this flee bag anyways took a strong
stance with her hand upon her hip and said, “It is not yet his time
for training.” Vixen smiled and replied, “Well that is perfect,
because we are not training today. I was asked to tell you to bring
him to our main fire ring other the hill. We are celebrating
tonight and we want him to take place in the ceremony,” she rose
her eyebrows at Galechka as she spoke,” Since he has been training
with us, we want to make him one of the pack.” Galechka
interjected,” What do you mean?” “We have the same suppressors and
are enslaved by the same group as your coven, since we are
preparing him for battle against them; we want to celebrate with
him before. You understand, right?” Galechka was a bit surprised by
this and retorted, “I hadn’t thought of it like that.” Vixen
reminded her, “Bring some blood bags for yourself; we do not keep
that sort of thing on stock.”

    Galechka and John headed through the woods
towards the wolves main fire ring. This was the place that they had
all of their celebrations and ceremonies for the pack. Galechka
pointed out the carvings in the stones as they passed each one.
John was astounded by the art work these were and deeply impressed
by Galechka’s knowledge of how they were they records of this packs
legacy. She explained to him that unlike the other covens, Adela
did not try to kill off of enslave the pack, but created a truce
and friendship with the pack leader ages ago. She said at times
Adela would refer to the pack as the coven’s brethren and extended
family. She went on to explain how in some areas the vampires hunt
down any werewolf and dispatch death on sight. They soon could see
the glowing of the huge fire in the distance and hear the wolves
some in human form and some in wolf celebrating loudly.

    As the two approached the fire they
witnessed they pack mostly in human form dancing some sort of
tribal type dance around the fire, while a few in wolf form howled
into the moon lit night in due timing with the music. There were
rhythmic drums and native stringed Slavic instruments; the stringed
instruments placed a powerful, but joyful melody along with the
rhythm of the percussion instruments. This was a tight pack, you
could see how everyone knew what the other was going to do and
react accordingly, never missing a beat or miss stepping a
step.

    Bernandas motioned the two to come sit by
him with, with his enormous monstrous sized arms. He patted his
hands on the log next to him for them to take a place. Reaching
over to his right he grabbed two large glasses of wine and handed
one to each of them,” My friends and my pack,” Bernandas exclaimed
in a loud, happy, and cheerful voice,” We are here to celebrate a
new brother in arms today. He may not be wolf or vampire,” he
sniffed the air and then sniffed at John,” O.K. O.K., he smells a
bit more like a wolf than a vamp,” the whole pack erupted into
laughter,” no no, all joking a side I am glad to welcome this man
into our pack as a part of the pack, as an alley to us and my
dearest friend Adela; I trust her beliefs and chooses more than any
others. We have hidden in the shadows and lived in fear for long
enough; I am hoping that this man can do what Adela believes.” He
raised his class into the air and the rest of the pack including
Galechka and John, “A toast to our newest family member and his
life companion, may they both have a rich long life together!” The
pack all in unison proclaimed. “Here! Here!” and slammed back their
glasses of wine.

    Bernandas slapped John on the back and
guided him away from the pack whispering,” We need to talk boy;
motion for your girl to come with us.” They headed over to a
clearing in the trees where some stumps of trees seemed to double
as chairs and Bernandas took a seat on one of them. This monster of
a man looked like an adult trying to sit in a kid’s chair. As the
two took a seat facing him, he began to
