Day had slipped to evening by the time William had come to. His mate was still fast asleep. He kissed her softly on her forehead before nuzzling her hair. He was beyond happy that he was with her from now to all of time. Just looking at her made his heart skip a beat. He felt like he could do anything and nothing would stop him ever.

Night has fallen and Kore had been keeping a safe distance from where he saw William had made a den. He knew that William was acting different and the human female was the reason why. He had not seen nor heard any sound of William when night had fallen. He made sure to stay down wind so he would not catch his scent.

Josephine looked up at the night sky from where she stood in front of her home. Night had fallen and there was no sign of Zarena. She was worried when she had not shown up to the House of RiverStone where their lord and lady were collecting taxes for the vampire lords so they could have protection from the werewolves. She wrapped her arms around herself before walking into the house and lighting a few candles while she whispered a pray for her niece.

Zarena turned onto her side, rolling into William. She opened her eyes up and yawned. "Well hello." She said smiling, while she wiped her eyes. She sat up, looking outside of the den, seeing that it had been night already. "So you plan on showing me how the nightlife is?" She asked as she climbed to her feet and walked over to the den entrance. The sound of crickets filled the air, chirping in sync. "Shall we?" She asked as she took off running outside. She didn't have tell him twice. He was up on his feet and just as he exited the den he shifted into his wolf form. With ease he easily caught up to her and caught her carefully in his arms as he swung her in his arms careful to not hurt her with his strength or claws. He set her down and nuzzled her neck before holding her close to his chest and took off into the forest. He slowed down when he caught the scent of what he wanted to show her. He slowed down when he grew near a hill that had moss falling down the side like a waterfall. Once on top he let her down but held her close to him. "Look over there by the lake." He spoke after he shifted behind her. William did not care that he was nude, hell he didn't even noticed it. He wrapped his arms around her and held her close as the moons ray fall upon a family of silverback wolves and five pups playing together under the moonlight. The moon danced on their silver fur while their white eyes gave off a soft glow. Silverback wolves were rare to see, and very valuable. Many tired hunting them for their furs and pups. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~♥♣~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kore almost fall out of the tree he was hidden in when he saw William shift. What!? It can't be. He watched how he held the female and that meant only one thing. William had found his mate he knew he had to tell his lord of what he found out. He carefully and quietly jumped down from the tree and raced off into the forest towards his camp where his mount was waiting. He skillfully jumped on the horse and raced off towards Lord Razvor castle. As he rode his mount hard and fast towards the castle he could hear the sound of werewolves howling in the distance. He kicked his mount hard in the side and it let out a scream of pain as he raced faster to try and please its rider. As he raced towards the castle that slowly came into view blood started to drip from the horses nose. Kore watched as the flames of the castle grew closer. Just as he made it threw the gate the horse collapsed trapping him for a moment before he kicked the dead horse off of him. He made his way into the great hall that was dark and an evil presences could be felt. He went to his knee in front of the thorn that was cloaked in shadows and bowed his head. "M'lord I have news." He spoke clear as he waited for his master. Razvor eyes looked on the scout. "And what do you bring me." He asked as he looked at his goblet that held fresh blood. "William has found his mate." Kore spoke. Razvor dropped his goblet and the sound of it crashing on the floor echoed throughout the hall. "What did you say?" He whispered as he looked at him. "William has found his mate." He repeated as he watched the blood that was split flow towards him as he knelt before his lord. "That can't be. He is nothing but a mindless beast that only kills and can't shift. Willi-" But before Razvor could finish what he was saying Kore spoke. "He can M'lord." Razvor was pacing when he stopped dead in his track. "He can what?" Kore looked up at his lord. "Shift and speak." He watched as his lord eyes flashed full of fear then was gone. "What was the village called." He asked as he took his throne. "RiverStone M'lord." He answered as he watched his lord. "Return their with the collecting ride," He looked at him in the eyes. "Bring me the female back unharmed." He ordered Kore with a steel look in his eyes that shot an arrow of fear in his dead heart. Kore jumped to his feet and bowed to him before racing out of the great halls door towards the troops that were starting to gather before heading out to collect the taxes from the nearby villages RiverStone being the last one. Razvor leaned back in his stone throne as he started into the fire. If William had found his mate indeed then that would mean only one thing. He stood up and made his way out of the great hall towards the many dungeons that lay below his castle. "Time to see the seer again." He said to himself before making his way down the steps.
