Tonight's date went great.

Eli cooked spaghetti with smoky tomato sauce. And they had wine. But he doesn't attend to get laid tonight. Not unless Hope wants to.

After that dinner, they decided to look up at the night sky. And talk about their day. "Well thank you for meal. You sure now how to cook."

"Been cooking since I was ten years old. It's easy for some." Eli told Hope as they lay on the blanket and looked at the star. "Maybe I should teach you how to cook."

"How to cook an Italian meal? I think there's a cook book on that." Hope said.

"Sometimes you can learn by watching someone do it." Eli replied. "I might even start my own restaurant after school and college."

"What we should call it? You know your would-be restaurant?" Hope asked.

In truth, Eli never thought about. He'll have to think on it soon. "Not sure yet." They fell into silent before Eli had to tell Hope something. "There was... more what that sex demon told me." He sits up a bit and faces her. "Lycaon killed all of his 50 sons. Ate their hearts and became super strong."

Hope sat up and can see how worry Eli is. "How strong are we talking about?"

"According to the book my Uncle Vinny gave me, when a Lycan consumes the heart of another Lycan, their physical capabilities increase. And because he ate all 50 of them, he's likely a 100 times stronger. And it also says that the older the Lycan the stronger their abilities." Eli explained before adding. "And the only way I can get stronger is if I eat the heart of another son of Lycaon."

Hope was slightly confused. "I thought Lycaon only had 59 sons."

"He had six bastard sons. They weren't mention in early history. Only certain lycan families know the story. One of them is still alive. His name is Kosmo. From what the demon told me, he's in Alaska somewhere."

"And you believe her? I mean don't demons lie?" Hope read a thing or two about demons.

"Derek cast a truth spell on her, so she was telling the truth." Eli sighs before saying this. "Still, I can't imagine fighting one of the oldest lycans to be easy. I mean I got lucky with The Beast of Gévaudan. But those literally one of the first lycans. Who must be over 2000 years old."

"Hey we'll figure it out. We got all the time in the world." Hope assured him. "Maybe I can help. I mean lycans can be affective by magic. So if it comes down to it, I'll help."

"That won't be a good idea. It's a one on one fight. By tradition, no one is to interfere." Eli was taught this by his uncle.

"Are these traditions more important than your own survival?" Hope asked him. "Look, when it comes to my family, they do what they can to survive. And did some people died for that to happen? Yes."
