Sleuth

Proximity

"Welcome. I am Kaddian Grayson, Alpha of this Sleuth" Kaddian said, shaking the hand of the equally massive Scottlin Reik.

"Alpha Kaddian, nice to meet you. I am Scottlin Reik" how Darrence Reik had managed to have a decent looking son escaped Kaddian. Darrence had sported frown lines, missing teeth, and a temper explosive enough to rival a volcano. However his son was almost... boyish in the face. He looked like every teenage girls dream. Scottlin had mentioned that he was four years Kaddian's senior but looking at the two of them, you would have never guessed it. Scottlin had the widest smile on his face as he introduced his members.

"This is my second in command and beta, Rory Daggart" a muscular blond stepped forward with a curt nod. He was older, perhaps mid to late thirties, but seemed none to bothered to be serving someone younger than himself.

"My greatest advisor and a man I consider my secondary father, Chance Gore" an older gentleman who had seen better days actually reached out and shook Kaddian's hand. Alpha Grayson felt the scars on his hand, and up close he saw the lines that crossed the man's face. They each nodded to each other briskly and Alpha Scottlin continued. "And finally, this is Sarai and Jacklynn. They are my greatest fighters". The first woman, Sarai, was so blond it was almost erie. She had a smile on her face, however that did not make Kaddian calmer, as the smiling blond he had in his own Sleuth was a pain to handle unlike any other. Jacklynn, on the other hand, had either eaten something very disgusting or hated being in the company of Kaddian and his Sleuth.

"This is Jarren, one of my warriors, and his father, Liam. Lizbet, Brie, and Porter are three members of my Sleuth who agreed to be here to welcome you and to allow your people to share their homes. My beta is, regrettably, not here at the moment. She went to collect the Sheriff, Lauren Hale, who you will be working with during your stay here".

"A female beta? That's a new one for me" Chance Gore, sporting a hefty Scottish accent.

Kaddian slid his gaze over him, expressing his dominance with a cold gaze in case the older man had forgotten, and said "yes, it is odd. But my father's beta died with him in the same battle and I had no one requesting to be beta. She was not the best option until a few years ago, but once she began to train seriously, she became a fearsome thing to behold" Kaddian explained, recalling the day she requested to be his beta. She knew she was not the best fighter nor the most experienced member of the pack, but she had a passion for the people she cared about that could not be rivaled.

"It sounds like you're quite taken with this woman" Scottlin said with a laugh.

"In the way that only a twin can love his sister" Kaddian said finally. Everyone in their group stared at each other.

"Twins. That is... very rare. Alpha Darrence never said that your father had two children" Rory Daggart admitted, explaining everyone's glances.

"No, I doubt he ever really knew" Kaddian said before turning and walking toward the house.

"If you'll come this way" BB said, gesturing to follow Kaddian, "I'm Brie Bart but everyone calls me BB. Alpha Reik, you and Mr. Daggart will be staying in Alpha Grayson's house. Sarai and Jacklynn you'll be staying with me".

"And Chance, you have been selected to stay with me" Porter said. Porter was a quiet man, twenty eight years old and mateless. He frequently kept to himself, however Alpha Kaddian never let him be alone for long. The Alpha enjoyed keeping the level headed adult around, and what few conversations they had always held monumentous meaning. Porter was a nice balance to the ridiculous youth in Kaddian's life.

The group made their way inside and discussed meeting times and places before dispersing to their respective living arrangements.

Kaddian settled Scottlin and Rory into the guest rooms then invited Scottlin into his study to talk.
