Wolf Mountain [Semi lit] -OPEN-

Mika nodded. She watched Lucy go back to work before leaning down to Oliver and whispering something to the wolf. He in turn got up and stalked behind the counter with Lucy, keeping his eyes on the male at all times. A low growl could still be heard now and then from him. He was meant to lay down behind the counter and keep Lucy out of trouble should it come looking. Mika stood once she saw that Oli was behind the counter. "I'll leave him with you for now. I have to run a few errands and not all the folks in town are so fond of wolves with what has been going on." he called to Lucy as her eyes drifted to the man at the last bit she said. "I'll see you at closing Lucy." She said before heading out. She knew that her beloved Oliver would keep Lucy safe should she be right about the man at the counter. She started towards the store to pick up some things since their ice box was running low of food. She nodded her hello to Elaine before going about her shopping. She noticed the three kids in the store. All of them looked rather young and malnourished. She wondered if they were orphaned. She had seen many kids who had run away from foster homes and such because they were trying to stay together. She wondered if that was the case here. She acted as though she dismissed the situation as she finished up her shopping and headed to the counter. "How have you been doing Elaine?" She asked with a light smile. This was one of the stores that did not care for Oliver, so Mika did not know his reaction to Elaine. She talked to her when she came to do her shopping but that was usually the extent. She did not see her around town as much as she did Lucy. She started setting her items on the counter as she waited for a reply. Though at the same time she was watching the three children in the rounded mirror.

Von listened as Novak spoke. He was not thrilled with the answer. It made sense but he still did not care for it. His ears twitched when Novak spoke of an assignment that others would not be able to handle. He tipped his head slightly with interest. "And what might this mission be?" He asked curiously. Von did like to prove that he was better than others, particularly Alec. It was part of why he never complained of the rather bloody tasks that were often given to him.

Kain heard the wolf's growling as he walked behind the counter. He caught the cold yet curious warning gaze of the dark haired woman who was leaving and caught the meaning to her words as well. Once she left he looked back to the young lady that sounded a great deal gentler. He gave her a rather charmed polite smile as his head tilted slightly out of habit. "I'll have a cup of coffee and whatever you recommend." he told her in a velvet like voice that sounded much too gentle for his appearance.

Alec - Beta - 21

"I don't, the alpha will most likely visit you before hand." Alec patiently answered, his arms extending out and grabbing onto her we she tried to duck under her. So Rayne was her name? Interesting. "Well Rayne, you've stumbled onto pack territory. To stay alive and return to where you strayed from, you need to listen. Someone will be back for you, before the full moon." He advised, walking towards the entry way of the cell and gently trying to guide her back into the secure environment. "Trust me." Maybe after all she had seen and heard she would generally in the sense 'throw him a bone' and trust him. [[edited ]]

Lucy - Human - 23

Lucy smiled to her friend, her eyes flickering towards Oliver in curiosity before Mika explained the reason she was leaving her tamed companion behind. Of course, she’d spoil Oliver with some tasty treats she’d previously whipped up just for him. “That’s alright, see you later!” Lucy replied, watching Mika leave her cosy store. Her attention reverting back to her new customer. Eyeing him up for a second, she paused as he answered her question. Slightly unprepared for just a smooth voice, interesting. “Are you a sweet or savoury kind of guy?” She asked, a small cheeky smile slowly forming on her face. She normally mixed her sweet and home baked goods around to keep her stock fresh and ‘different’ no monotonous items apart from a few common treats like pies cupcakes. Her eyes flicking back to Oliver for a split second, checking he was still there and not off disappearing behind some of her shelves.

Rayne growled at him, but went inside. "Why would he get me before full moon? I thought he wanted me to no expose our secret. As if I would ever do that," she added hastily. She never would do that. She enjoyed being a wolf too much to reveal herself. She huffed in frustration before turning to him. With her arms crossed over her chest, she asked, "So what's your name? I don't think you told me yet. I mean, it's not fair that you know mine and I don't know yours. Oh, can I get something to drink too? All that fighting has left me thirsty." A half smile formed over her face as she stared at him with her green gaze.

Talon gathered his part of the list then made his way to where his younger sister was finishing up picking up her part of the list. "Do you think Grace is ok Ari?" he asked his younger sister who shook her dark head "no Tal she's not. The dream came back last night. Grace barely slept last night after she woke up screaming. Its been eight years and still she dreams still she......" Ari fell silent as she glanced up and saw their older twin. "You know I still blame myself for the day that the big bad came hunting mom and dad and us." She said with a low growl meeting her twins eyes. One look at the three of them one could tell that they were either related as cousins or that they were triplets. Together the trio carried their meager purchases toward the counter all three of them instantly dropping their heads as Ari reached into her pants pocket and took out the cash that was left so that they could pay for everything. Ari's grey eyes met her brother and then her older sister's watching as Grace tensed slightly then tried to relax a tiny bit.

Novak looked to Von only for a moment before looking back out though this time towards the village. "There is a woman in the village. She was taking photographs of Alec and the rogue. The last she took may have caught me as well. She was not a priority at that moment since she was already leaving. I want you too find that camera and get the photos back. The last thing anyone needs is images of us getting out. People will look more closely at the fact that we are much larger than normal wolves. Their curiosity will grow from there more than it has already. I do not want her killed yet. Only do what you must to retrieve the photographs. The last thing we need is for someone to be killed in town." He told Von in an eerily calm tone. Novak simply needed the balance restored. "She will be easy enough to track. She has a wolf companion with her." After that Novak grew silent.

When the cashier finished with Mikael's groceries and told her the total she paid though she gave him a good deal more than the total. She told the young lady to put the rest on the youngster's perches and to give them six hot sandwiches. She wanted to be sure they had at least something to eat and to be able to keep whatever money they had encase they needed it later on. She then took her bags and again headed out.

Kain seemed to think about the question for a moment before answering. "A bit of both I suppose. Though I guess I lean more towards savory if I had to choose." He again gave her a charmed smile as he glanced behind the counter to where she was looking. "Your friend must think rather low of me if she is leaving the wolf dog with you." He said with a slight smirk as his wheat colored eyes looked back to the young lady behind the counter.

When the cashier told the triplets that their purchases had already been paid for Grace's eyes widened a little then she looked toward Mikael's retreating form. She looked at Talon and Ari then smiled "I think I will go thank her for what she has done for us. You two gather everything and meet me outside." she said in a low voice that only her siblings could hear. Her keen nose picked up the scent of the food and her stomach growled a little but as the eldest she knew that she had to make sure that her brother and sister were fed first. She followed Mikael out of the store and called out softly "Thank you for your kindness, we aren't used to such things." Her grey eyes were soft and for the first time in a long time a tinge of fear shown in them, something that she was quick to hide from her brother and sister.

Hey, I just wanted to tell you that this is a n c h o r s---

[metaphor.]

Alec - Beta - 21

Thankful for her cooperation, Alec clasped his hand around the heavy door and pulled it into place behind her. Locking it and making sure it was secure with a small rattle. Done. She was finally in the little prison and vulnerable to his alpha. “It comes with the territory Rayne, he’s quite protective of it, especially to outsiders. Human or not.” He answered. His tired brown eyes checking over her small form as she spoke, silently debating whether to tell her or not. His brows rising at her request for a drink, “My name is Alec and if you are good?...” A cheeky grin appearing on his face, “you might get a drink princess. As for now? I’ll see you later.”
With that said he turned on his heels and began to walk back the way he’d come.

Lucy - Human - 23

As she heard his response, her eyes lit up. This was the perfect time to try her little, light pastry pockets that she’d baked this morning. The fresh pockets were carefully placed on a large black presenting tray under one of the heating laps in her glass shelves. Returning his smile she quickly fetched a pair of tongs and pulled out a few pastry pockets and neatly placed them on a plate. “Try these, they might look small but they will certainly fill you up.” She advised, boldly winking at her new customer as she handed them over. Curiously tilting her head at his words, Lucy snuck a side glance towards her temporary, lovely companion Oliver. “Don’t take it personally, there’s a few stores that don’t cater for wolves unfortunately. He’s always welcomed here though, he’s so lovely once you get to know him.” She replied, returning her attention back towards the customer and noting his wheat colored eyes. She’d never really seen such a colour before, interesting.
