"Deanna is one of our pack elders." Mrs. Reynolds explained enthusiastically.

Great. Another leader in the supernatural cult. But what did she want with me. The tall older one stared at me with a look of wonder and..."admiration?"

"David. Its so nice to meet you." She said warmly, extending a hand. I returned the gesture emptily as I was sure she had heard all about me from the Reynolds. It was Mr. Solomon who spoke next.

"Deanna is in charge of," He paused as if he were searching for the right words. But Mr. Solomon didn't search for words. He was the most articulate man I knew. "Uh, history. She's our pack historian" He finished, looking around at his colleagues.

There was something going on that I wasn't privy too. I was assured a friendly encounter but Cain stood tensely behind me. And Inez stared directly at her toes. Though quiet, the girl was nowhere near meek. And Mr. Solomon losing his nerve? The Reynolds feaux-welcoming demeanor was to be expected but this was something else.

"Is there something I'm missing?" I said abruptly. Mrs. Reynolds smile dissolved and Cain's body tensed even more, if that wasn't even possible. Mr. Solomon opened is mouth to speak but Deanna beat him to it.

"As observant, as he is handsome Cain." She said snappily. I expected Cain to at least growl but he remained perfectly still. "Who was this woman."

She turned to Mr. Solomon. "The boy might even have an affinity. Aren't we in the most spectacular times? To think it'd have fallen on young Cain. But you Reynolds are so strong. How amazing is it for you two to birth the 119th sire. And such a handsome Luna, its too bad you will never bare kids."

Deanna looked to between Cain and I. And then turned her attention to the others in the room.

"Leave us." She announced. At first there was no movement. But slowly everyone, including the intimidating Mr. Reynolds left the room.

My mouth almost dropped in shock. I turned my attention to back to the woman, who I found staring at me with glittering eyes and a slight smile.

"Who was this woman? And what power did she have to make even Mr. Reynolds obey her?"
