Devin
I turned around looking in the mirror. This is weird but I like it. The tail and ears that had been causing so much pain for the last month had finally come out. The tail like a black whip with small spikes on the end, my horns were also black and pointed. They were smaller and easy to cover which i was thankful for.
"Dev can i come in?" I hadn't shown anyone yet including Vinny. I run to my bed covering myself in blankets.
"Yeah."
"Why are you hiding?" He peeks his head under the blanket which was to dark to see well. "Baby what's wrong?"
I sigh slowly coming out, squeezing my eyes shut. He wraps his arms around my waist my eyes open. "Can I touch." His fingers gently run down my horns. A soft purr came from my throat. My eyes widen, I clamp my hand over my mouth.
"Aw does my little demon like that?" I blush at the nickname. I curl up to his chest purring as he massaged my lower back which was still sore.
"Guys I .. holy shit." I hide my face in Vinnys chest. Ricky sat next to me, "Don't hide from me Ghosty." I sit up leaning against his shoulders when he rubbed the base of my horns. My eyes slipped shut and purrs sounded through my throat again. He chuckled, "aren't you just adorable."
"No I'm vicious, I'll bite you."
He put his hands up, "ok ok, but can I take a picture Chris is worried about you."
I pose for the camera making Ricky and Vinny laugh.
"Thanks princess I'll see you all later."
He left and Ryan jumped out from behind the doorway scaring the shit out of me. Another guy hid behind him.
"Hey princess, I see you finally got your tail."
I glare, "only Ricky can call me that."
"Not me?" Vinny asks.
I kiss Vinnys pouty lips, "nope, who's that?"
"This is Angel, the one we captured a few weeks ago but the pack attacked him so he's staying here." I could tell they were together by the way Angel clung to him and how Ryan had his arm around his waist, it was obvious even if they didn't realize it. I walked up to give him a hug.
"Vin come here for a sec." I stand him next to Angel, they all give me questioning looks.
"Ryan tell me I'm not crazy and that they smell the same."
He takes a minute smelling then put Vinny farthest from the door and Angel down the hall going back and forth.
"You're not crazy."
"What do you mean?" Ryan looks at Vinny and Angel, "it means you're from the same pack."

Ricky
I was still beyond pissed about what happened the other day. If I hadn't been nearby and Angelo wasn't close enough to smell it Chris would've been ripped to shreds. I wanted to know why they targeted him, he's human and they have no reason to try hurting us.
The stench of blood and rotten meat hit my nose. A hand clamped over my mouth, it wasn't hard to get free. I turned around to tear into its throat but froze at the sight of Angelo.
"What the fuck? I could've killed you!" I whisper yell.
"You can't go near them, they'll kill you without hesitation." He whisper yelled back.
"How do you know?" I say calming down.
"Because, that was my pack along with Vinny and Angel before they abandon us. When they realized me and Vinny were different and more powerful they set out to get us back. They're brutal and heartless. Because I'm older and have already discovered my power they targeted Chris knowing if he was taken he could be used against me. Then after that they were going to attack and take Devin after they figured out that you had power around here and knew they could use him against you and also because he's half demon he has more abilities, at least he should. Of course they don't know how powerful you guys really are but it won't stop them."
"How do you know all this?"
"I have eyes."
"Angel?"
"Yes, the reason why he wouldn't tell you everything before was because they would kill his little sister. They suspected him, killed her and left him to die."
I let this sink in.
"we need to make sure they stay safe. I know a place they could go."
"Do you know how stubborn they are? Devin and Vinny will refuse to be apart, Angel has a panic attack if Ryan's in the bathroom to long. Don't even get me started on Chris. They'll be safer near us than farther away."
He sighs knowing I was right, "can you at least keep Devin and Angel inside, Angels still injured, Devins weak from the transformation and main target." He pleads.
"It'll be hard to convince them, but I'll do my best."
"Good. Now go see Chris, he misses you."

"Good morning baby boy." I gently press my lips to his forehead. I examined his bare torso, he had claw marks where the wolf's nails had dug into his shoulders. I sensed that his head and back hurt also. I'm sorry this happened to you baby. I'll make sure that pack is gone for your safety along with the others.
I rest my head on his shoulder inhaling the intoxicating scent. His steady breathing made me sleepy, I wanted him to wake up so I wouldn't fall asleep but couldn't bring myself to do it. A hand lay on my stomach, fingers gently drawing circles.
"Hey little blood sucker." He said in a sleepy voice, "I missed you." I kiss his lips, "how are you feeling."
"Better." I sit up to see him better. " I'm a little shaken up still." He lets out a shaky breath.
"I'm sorry baby." I rest my hand in the crook of his neck. "I promise to keep you safe."
"I have one hundred and ten percent trust in you, but how? There's so many wolves, they're huge and terrifying. It seems impossible."
"My family is very powerful, we're smart and know our strengths and weaknesses along with others. Although that's one of the most brutal packs we've run into give or take a hundred years we know exactly what we're doing. I understand why you think the way you do since we've shown you so little of what we're capable of. Just know that it's going to be ok."
He looks less worried but still doubtful, couldn't blame him really. Although I was confident I wasn't arrogant, things could take a wrong turn but we've had a good success rate so far.
