Jamie groaned, huffing and rolling from on top of Reagan to the other side of the bed, smiling as he felt her snuggle into his side, her Scandinavian blonde hair splaying across the pillow and his shoulder, the soft strands tickling his skin. He kissed her temple, grinning as two sapphire eyes gazed up to meet his own brown ones.

"Enjoying the view?" Reagan smirked, ruffling Jamie's black curls as they lay there in his cabin, sheets tangled around them.

"Mm hm, but..."

"But?" Reagan arched an eyebrow, sitting up and letting the sheets fall from her chest. Jamie blinked, distracted at the sight only for Reagan to snap her fingers in front of his face.

"You had a whole forty-five minutes to stare at these, now what did you mean 'but'?"

Jamie sighed, running a hand over his face. "I'm thinking about what we'll do once we get back to England...I'm an Alpha in training, a Werewolf, and you're a hunter. What are we going to do? It's not like our parents are particularly on board with this whole relationship either."

Reagan smirked, bopping Jamie's nose playfully before planting a kiss on his full lips. "I've been thinking the same thing, and fortunately I have an idea."

"Oh?"

"Yes, oh. I have a brain you know."

"Hardly...ow!" Jamie hissed as Reagan punched his arm. He forgot the woman could pack a punch, she was almost as strong as a wolf. "What's this idea then, oh genius-one?"

Reagan ran her fingers through her hair, twirling the strands into a ponytail. "We combine our talents. This deal with Hecate will require supernaturals to behave in a way that won't out you guys to us mere mortals, and also won't let you tear each other apart. I think we should combine our families and our talents to hunt those who might break the pact...like enforcers if you will."

Jamie pursed his lips, mulling his girlfriend's suggestion over and over. This was possible, though it would be difficult, not only to enforce the pact but also to get wolves and hunters to work together harmoniously. But it could work.

"I like it, you actually are a genius babe!" Jamie grinned as Reagan laughed. He pulled her down into a hug, kissing her cheek as she cuddled closer to him.

"We can wait until this whole thing is over," She said, "let's see if we even survive the war first."

Jamie frowned, subconsciously pulling her closer to him. "We will," he muttered, his voice wavering. At least he hoped they would.

OOoOoOoOoOoOoOO

Evander stared hungrily, eyeing the large stag that was galloping through the moss and stones of the forest, pausing to sniff at a tree. Evander could smell the scent of others around him, a whole herd of stags and does, oblivious to the vampires surrounding them. He caught sight of Jack prowling not far from him, his red eyes trailing a slender doe. Brae was to his other side, his eyes on a stag next to Evander's own prey. Charvi crouched in a tree, her eyes scanning two large stags that sniffed at the trunk of her tree. Danae was next to her, eyeing one of them. Damien was next to him, so close he could hear him breath, his eyes trained on a doe.

Without a word, Evander leapt forwards, startling the herd and sending them running in different directions. Charvi and Danae pounced from the tree, catching their stags quickly. Jack cut his doe's escape off, looping his arms around its neck and bringing it down, sinking his fangs into it. Brae did the same, snapping a stag's neck and drinking. Evander made quick work of his own stag, the coarse fur brushing his lips as he snapped the stag's neck and sank his teeth into its flesh, savouring the sweet liquid that spilt into his mouth. He could hear Damien do the same next to him.
