It was midnight and Kelly Anne was in bed and was about to fall asleep. She heard a knock on the door of her apartment. She got up, wore her night gown and walked to the door and opened it. "Beta Lucas?"

Lucas said "Can I come in?"

Kelly Anne nodded.

Lucas came inside and started looking around the apartment. it was his first time seeing her residence.

Kelly Anne said "Do you want a drink?"

Lucas said "I am fine. I just wanted to talk to you."

Kelly Anne said "Why dont you take a seat?"

Lucas sat down on a sofa and Kelly Anne sat opposite him.

Kelly Anne asked "What is it you want to talk about?"

Lucas sighed and leaned back on the sofa "I dont know where to start."

Kelly Anne said "The beginning."

Lucas said "Tonight Gavin came to my house. I had a chance to get him alone and talk to him in private while my sister and his sister were bonding. I mentioned the humans..."

Kelly Anne sat on the edge of her seat "What did he say?"

Lucas said "Its not good news. He feels that humans have overstepped their welcome in our territory and wants us to be very strict with them. He doesnt want any human to ever dare look at a werewolf in the eye let alone ask them out. Sending them out of town for a while is to just teach them a lesson that the luxuries that we allowed them in life should not be taken for granted..."

Kelly Anne said "What luxuries. We offer humans what other territories grant their citizens. What humans had was not a luxury. It was their right."

Lucas said "Don't let him ever hear you say that. He doesn't beleive in human rights. Lets cut to the chase. I asked him how long was he planning to go on for and he said as long as he felt necessary for them to learn their lesson. If humans showed submission and acceptance of their poor treatment he may after... three months let them slowly come back. But the defiant ones stay out there."

Kelly Anne gasped "Three months?"

Lucas said "Yes. Thats not too bad. All I ask of you and your fellow protectors is that ... please dont push it with the alpha. Don't hold meetings. He might make it longer if he sees persistence among your people... The alpha's decision sounded final."

Kelly Anne sighed "Ok. I will tell my colleagues. Thanks for asking the alpha...."

Lucas said "Thats not all. I also asked about the arrested protector werewolves who are in custody after the demonstrations against banishing the humans to out of town."

Kelly Anne asked "What did he say?"

Lucas said "What do you think? He said they need to be taught lessons in the detention centres. Again he mentioned they need to show submission. They need to break. They need to apologise for their actions and be very sorry. He told me their sentences is the same length as the humans. Three months."

Kelly Anne sighed "I guess it could be worse. At least after three months I will see my colleagues and the humans will be back so us protectors can do our jobs."

Lucas said "You are already doing your job. You are doing what you can for the omegas and all lower ranked weaker wolves. Concentrate on their rights."

Kelly Anne said "I will Lucas. Thank you for coming to see me to deliver this news."

Lucas looked around and whispered "I actually ... didnt come to see you to just deliver the news that I did... I came for another reason too."
