Cisero sighed as Natelly's solemn face popped up on the screen of his phone. In the background he could see Uni's bedroom. On her lavender bed was Verde, deep asleep holding her princess dress. Cisero could see the tear tracks running down his mate's cheeks.

"How is he?"

Natelly shrugged and ran a hand through Verde's short hair. "No change really. Talon suggested taking him to his ex's later."

"That might be a good idea."

"Yeah."

Cisero looked up as a familiar voice traveled to his ear. He smiled as Hakon walked down the hall from what used to be the office of the supernatural alliance. "Hey, babe. I gotta go. I just saw Hakon."

Natelly smiled. "Tell him we say hi."

"Will do. Love you guys."

"You too."

Cisero hung up and embraced the vampire lord warmly when he approached.  Fenri and Martem had been hanging around since after the eclipse but the two vampires had returned to the clan and hadn't been seen since.

"It is good to see you, Alpha De La Vega!" Hakon's voice bounced off the walls of the half empty hallway. "How are you and your mates?"

Cisero waved has hand. "You're too formal. We're...doing. Yourself? What of you and your mates?"

The near ancient vampire pouted.  "Well, stubborn Fenri refuses to leave Verde. Raoul is sad because of it but he understands. Martem has decided to lend a hand wherever he can."

"We appreciate it."

"It is as much for us as it is for you."

The Dark Moon West alpha nodded thoughtfully as they began walking down the hallway.  There was truth to the vampire's words.  Little Uni was mated to their unborn children.  Not to mention, several vampires had been attacked in the pack attacks and two had to be revived by Lord Hakon himself.  The vampire council didn't take too kindly to attacks on their own on peaceful missions and outings.

"What brings you to the council?" Hakon asked shoving his hands in his pockets.

Cisero ran a hand through his dark hair. "Trying to get information on what's being done to locate the missing weres. Our little Uni is one of them as is Alpha Ari's mate."

"I almost forgot of Alpha Silver. Have you any leads?"

"We have two returnees and a human we're going to interrogate. We also recovered footage from all the packs."

Hakon's eyebrows went up in surprise.  Cisero opened a mahogany door with a glass panel and lead them down another hallway.  They passed a few unmated weres who openly oogled the vampire.

"All the alphas plan to get together to review the footage and see if we can't find something we might have missed."

"Interesting."  Hakon rubbed his chin in thought.  "Would you mind if I accompany you in both? I'd like to see how you werewolves get down to business."

Cisero chuckled as they came to a stop in front of a solid mahogany door.  "I welcome your insight and opinion. By all means." His wolf began to snarl in his head as he reached for the doorknob to the Officum Lupus Adnotatione (wolf registration office). Hakon looked at him with an arched brow.

"Something wrong, alpha?"

The alpha could see the heat signatures on the other side with his milky eye. Three weres, a cat shifter, a witch and two elves. Cisero took a whiff as he glared at the door. What he hell?
