"How did it go?" Jeronah asked when the boys landed in the kitchen after a long day at the sports hall. Hunter couldn't commit to the omega wolves; it was getting stressful for the teen to think about trusting a position which let him down so harshly.

"It went okay." Hunter flicked the kettle on, watching Meloras and Veronica who sat in the garden. The werewolf was still very cautious of the demons, even after his mate told him he could trust them.

"Did you find a new pack?" Jeronah asked.

"Maybe," Hunter sighed and asked Jacota if he wanted some tea. "It's not that simple. I have to know the wolves I choose are definitely the right people for the job."

"I'm sure you'll figure it out, you seem very accurate with your judgement, especially you Jacota. You can see the bad before the good. That is rare when people take long to express their true identity."

Jacota smiled and poured milk into his tea, accidentally spilling it on the counter.

"It's weird," the God mumbled, knowing the angel was in awe of him. Jacota tried not to feel uncomfortable.

"How long have you had these powers? Your father talked about when you were human."

"Not long." Jacota sat with Flora at the dining table. Her company is one he enjoys to be around, Jeronah was overwhelming him.

"So, you have a son who is a demon?" Hunter asked the angel while Flora watched Jacota with a twinkle in her eye.

"It was tough for Hunter wasn't it?" she asked quietly, and the God nodded. "He will find those who will match Sam's loyalty. I know his heart will be searching for the wolves who match his kindness and his bravery."

"I hope so," Jacota said with a small smile of hope. "He deserves it."

Flora watched her grandson like she was studying a precious jewel. "I'm yet to understand why he has experienced such horrible tragedies in his life. He hasn't deserved to be exposed to such cruelty, but something tells me it's preparing him for the war. Regardless of whether we win or not, it will be a bloodbath, and hopefully, for the opposite side."

Jacota looked down to his tea, trying not to think about losing anyone dear to him in the future. The front door opening distracted his thoughts as he looked down the corridor from where he sat. William was first to enter the kitchen, smiling wide like he was up to mischief. Sam followed, also grinning with red cheeks.

"What are you both up to?" Hunter questioned, narrowing his eyes.

"Nothing, Sam just tripped on the steps. He fell flat on his face." William started laughing again, wiping the recycled tear from his eye.

Anthony patted Sam's shoulder and turned, motioning for someone to come into the kitchen. First to enter was Piper, then Pheonix, then three more teens Hunter was yet to meet.

"Let's go into the garden." Anthony guided the guests outside, and Meloras and Veronica entered the kitchen, asking Jeronah if Hunter had found a pack.

Jacota waited, knowing Hunter had to first accept the wolves as a possible candidate before introducing them to his mate. Jacota watched Hunter eye up the Omegas after greeting Piper and Phoenix again. The wolf had his critical frown while he examined the men.

Hunter would have liked to know everything about the Omegas before meeting them, but Anthony's mind doesn't live in an ideal world.

"Are Piper and Phoenix a definite choice for your pack?" Anthony thought to his son.
