As James replied, Vee began to question her motives. Was
the chance to embarrass herself in front of him really worth
not going alone? She wasn't sure. So for the time being she
just decided to roll with in. Slinging her bag over her shoulder
the slender lycan started toward the doors to the store. The
chance to actually do something in the next five minutes
without Judd scorning her was absolutely refreshing. But
perhaps it was a tad bit rude to just go on without her
escort. As much as she hated it she stopped and turned
back around, glancing at the two. "We'll meet back here,
at say..." she paused. "Half an hour?" For once
she had beaten Judd to the point.

He turned back into a human again, his stormy gray eyes flashing
as he glanced at the shiny black remains of the camera. Before he
could do something he would probably later regret, a she-wolf
prowled out into the open. She looked uncertainly over at them,
and it made Will nervous. He recognized her right away as a fellow
werewolf. But had never seen her before. "Farion." He said low under
his breath. Unsure if either of his Alphas had spotted the fae yet. They
would have to decided whether or not she was a threat, and it could
get ugly.

Marguerite made her way through the dense brush,
her silky gray pelt glistened wet with dew. Surprisingly, she
wasn't upset. The forest was literally the only place she could
go to clear her head. It calmed her down like nothing else. Her
silence was interrupted by the voice of a man, the slender wolf
peered around the corner and noticed a few members of the pack.
Porter would certainly find this interesting. Then, she noticed
Xavier. She couldn't stand him. Curling up her lip she stepped out
into the open. Contemplating whether or not to approach the other
wolves, the femme lifted her paw up and sniffed the air.

As Alpha of the Loners, Port was a very prideful
wolf. He took it upon himself to patrol the land
on his own everyday. So that's where he was.
Meandering through the brush, still in his
human form searching for any signs of prey
or other wolves passing through recently. It
wasn't usually for him to be a wolf, he preferred
his human state because he didn't feel like he had
much control over his other half. Which was safe to
say. Though, it did make it hard not to be spotted.
One human among a few wolves does tend to draw
attention.

Farion gave Dekotah a smirk, then he watched as she made her way into the house. He turned to continue with Xavier, when he heard William speak. Farion’s ears perked up and his eyes were drawn in the direction of William’s looks. He watched as the female wolf stayed back from the camp a bit, peaking her head around a corner. For a moment, Farion just stood there. “Seriously…” he murmured under his breath. Not only was Xavier causing an issue today, but now there was another wolf. He eyed her carefully, then eyed William. “She doesn’t seem like a threat, more like she wants to rip out tree boys throat, but still we need to know where she came from…and if there are more.” He gritted his teeth and took a step towards the wolf, then shook his head slightly. He knew there was some sort of loner pack in this area, he had established this from the game cameras, but now it really hit him.

He turned to William and gave a bitter sigh. “Chase her off. This is our territory, they need to know that.” Farion gave a simple nod, then turned towards Xavier. “I expect these demands met.” He said before turning into the house. He closed the door behind him and made his way up the stairs. As he turned the corner into their bedroom, he eyed Dekotah laying on the bed in the dark. He chuckled softly, before sitting on the edge of the bed. He contemplated telling her about the loner pack or waiting, but he knew if he waited she would be mad. “We seem to have another pack in our territory…” He said as he eyed her. “Do not worry, however, I will take care of things.”

Skylar (phone post)

Mason considered her for a moment, his intelligent eyes flickering and his head tilted. Ultimately, he decided that they shouldn't go. Skylar's sensibility agreed, since the risks were high to leave at such a time. However, she was slightly disappointed. She noticed Mason squeezing his fingers as Skylar's breathing got worse. Was she making him nervous? Her asthma was another reason why Mason thought it would be unwise to leave. It was true, as her asthma was bad enough inside, where it wasn't even half as cold. Still, she felt annoyed that her asthma got in the way of what she wanted to do, as always. Mason tried to get her to sit down, with authority in his voice. She knew to listen to him, as he only wanted to make sure that she was okay. "Alright, if you say so," she said with a slight sigh about sitting down. "Do you want to go back downstairs? And yeah, you're right about not going now. It could be pretty dangerous, plus we never asked Farion or Dekotah. I can't wait for tomorrow tho-," her voice broke off as she felt her lungs tightening even more. In an effort to release the tension, her lungs caused her to cough. Skylar ducked her head into the crook of her arm as she coughed painfully, wincing at each sharp expulsion of air. She knew she was probably making Mason nervous, and she knew that this was a mild asthma attack. She pulled her rescue inhaler out of her pocket and placed it in her mouth as soon as she was able to momentarily stop coughing. She sent two puffs of medicine down her throat and held her breath for a few seconds to ensure that she didn't breath the medicine out. Finally, she was able to control herself. "Sorry Mason," she apologized with a whisper. "If I'm making you nervous, you don't need to stick around," she explained, her cheeks red with embarrassment.

When Dekotah heard the bedroom door open she sat up looking at Farion. She smiled glad he didn't leave her alone inside for to long, she would have understood if he did. Since the whole her being pregnant thing they didn't spend much time together. "Come lay with me." She said with a grin. "Its been forever."

Her face got serious when he mentioned them not being the only pack on the territory. She was glad he told her but how could she not worry. "How am I not suppose to worry?" She asked running her hand through her blonde hair. "This is dangerous to the pack." She explained taking a few deep breaths. "Im not going to worry." She said mostly to herself. She calmed down a bit looking at him. "About how many wolves are in their pack?" She asked.

Her pale blue eyes widened in response to Mason's firm denial. "I'm not?" she responded, her shock clearly visible on her face. He still looked worried, and Skylar felt guilty for being the cause of it. However, his anxiety wasn't triggered, and for the most part he looked like he wasn't going to leave. She couldn't mistake or dismiss when he laid his hand on her shoulder. His eyes studied her body, looking for any signs that she'd need any help. She hated appearing so helpless in front of him, yet she knew he didn't really mind. For once, she felt herself finally relaxing, thus her asthma symptoms decreasing a bit. "You don't need to be worried Mason," she murmured with a trace of a smile. "I'm okay, really," she insisted with a bigger smile. his concern wasn't needed, but it felt slightly nice.

He still looked quite tired, and Skylar was starting to feel her energy fading away as well. Her eyes fell to the ground, avoiding his when he placed his hand upon her shoulder. She didn't want him to see the enormous blush that had appeared on her face, or the shocked, awkward, and timid mix of emotions. When he suggested the house, she allowed herself to pull her eyes up from the floor a bit. "We can do that, sure," she agreed, for once knowing she'd rather sit down for a bit. Although she'd been looking forward into heading into town, some nice downtime with Mason would be very relaxing as well.

She made her way over to the worn old couch and curled up her knees to her chest. Once again, she was struggling with the necessarily function to breath. Since she'd just used her inhaler, though, she knew she probably shouldn't use it again fro a it, unless there was a dire emergency. Simply, she'd just have to hold it out. Perhaps Mason's calming presence would help her out? She left space open for the boy and grabbed some blankets sitting nearby her. After his anxiety attack, Skylar was slightly curious about him. How long had he had anxiety, and were his attacks always so bad? It was scary, watching him be so terrified, and she hoped it wouldn't happen again anytime soon. "Want to sit here?" she suggested, once again feeling very awkward.

To his mild surprise, his plan had gone off without a hitch. Both of the werewolves affirmatively responded, looking relieved to be out of his presence with a bit. It hurt him, seeing how the other two (and most of the pack) didn't want to be anywhere near him. Sure, he'd been grumpy and mean lately, but couldn't they see how he was feeling? Did they really not care? He was brought out of his pity party, though, when Vee set out a timeframe for meeting. "Yeah, half hour's good," he grunted, not really feeling the need to say much more on the subject. What would he do all alone though? Although he'd waned solitude, he found himself wishing for interaction with his pack members.

He forced himself to turn around and leave the two lovebirds together with each other. A scowl was still etched on his face, this time out of jealousy. Why didn't anyone like him? He was attractive, high-ranked, and cool. However, he didn't realize that his jealous and grumpy personality might be a contribution to everyone's dislike of him. When he got inside of the store, he put pn his hood to obscure his face and draw minimal attention to himself. His eyes searched the shelves, throwing any food or useful items into the backset. He received a few wary looks from strangers, but he was left alone, for the most part.

When a meeting time had been established and Judd had went off to do his own thing, James breathed a sigh of relief. It was no coincidence that when Judd left, he took most of the tension in the group with him. Now at least for an half hour everything would be relatively calm and he wouldn't have to worry about a full out brawl developing between pack members. Although he probably didn't realize it, but by being an arrogant jerk to basically everyone in the pack, Judd was forming a rift between himself and everyone else. If the dude wasn't careful no doubt one of these days Dekotah or Farion would've had enough and then the beta would really have a reason to be a jerk to everyone. No doubt the day that Judd received even more power than what he had currently as a Beta would haunt James in his nightmares. Now that would be a scary time if he didn't get a harsh, but very much needed reality check.
However he had a full half hour to worry about something that been on his mind for several months, and had absolutely nothing to do with a certain crabby man. However what he was thinking was also terrifying to him because the moment was here. No more hiding his feelings, or daydreaming what it would be like to finally to get some courage. Within the next thirty minutes James was either going to become one really happy lad, or he be regarded as a fool. So yeah for him this was pretty nerve-wracking. Which is why he didn't say anything as the two entered the store. James picked up a basket and heading in the opposite direction from where Judd had gone. He checked over his shoulder a couple of times to make sure that Vee was still following him as well. Soon they ended up in the meat section, which of course was what the pack would want the most for dinner. After all hadn't his own stomach been growling for it ever since the orange glow of fire lit up the sky? However he had to admit it wasn't the best place to tell someone that you've had a crush on them for several months now...
Which is why even he was surprised when he heard his voice speak the words he thought he didn't have the courage to say "Hey Vee... There's something that I wanted to tell you for quite a while now..." However before he could fully get his message out, the neurons in his brain went into overdrive when they realized that he was actually revealing something he had kept secret for so long. However he couldn't just press rewind and delete what he said. James had pushed the boulder off of the cliff, and now it was rolling. There was no going back, but his tongue and brain were putting up one heck of a fight trying to stop it. So he continued with a stutter "Ve..e...I...kinda...ha...ve...a...a...a...He just couldn't get the last few words out while looking at her. So he shut his eyes and just spat it out, which to him took as much bravery as a soldier running out to battle. "I really like you."
He was an idiot. He sounded like one. He must look like one confessing his feelings in the meat aisle for Christ's sake! The Meat Aisle! Also 'I really like you?' what on earth was the raven haired lad thinking? Now no doubt Vee would laugh and tell everyone and he would become a pariah because of his stupid heart. Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! He cringed slightly waiting for the rejection to come. Hopefully it wouldn't that much, since that would probably just be rubbing salt in a fresh wound after all...

Who knew the happiest moment of her life, (so far) would be in the meat section. So clichè.
Werewolf, and meat? But that wasn't close to the point. Rather that James had just exclaimed
his everlasting love for her. Right at that moment, no matter how scientifically impossible it
was her heart kept to a million miles per hour. But what was she supposed to say? I like you,
too? No. Defiantly no. That made her sound like an imbecile. So she decided on saying
nothing, and risking rejection. But she couldn't just stand there, could she? The alternative
took much more guts than the latter. Closing her eyes the redhead pressed her strawberry
scented lips to his. In that moment, that fact that they were surrounded by humans was
forgotten. As that she could think of was him. Hopefully, this was an okay answer. Or
maybe she had gone too far.

James was so prepared to hear a cruel laugh, and possibly even some jab at a flaw of his, or even see a blank expression on the redhead's face; that when he felt Vee's lips collide with his, James' mind didn't know how to react. Because of the mindset he had just seconds prior, he tensed up at first. All his muscles felt as rigid as boards, but as he regained his senses, his body relaxed and to put it in simple words; he kissed her as well. However it didn't feel as if it was just as simple as that statement. No, those five words couldn't sum up how it felt. To him this kiss was the crescendo to those months of embarrassment, and his klutziness. He poured all of those opportunities he missed to say something, every single moment that he wished he had the nerve to say something, anything! But he held back out of the fear of rejection, which he knew now had been foolish into this one kiss. Ever single frustrated moment, his stupid stutter, and the irrational fears were all being chased away from him in this one moment. Why couldn't he see that she liked him as well sooner.
Although he would have loved for time to stop around them, James knew that people were now staring at the two teenagers making out in the meat aisle of all places. He reluctantly broke off the kiss and realized that Vee smelled off strawberries. A weird afterthought, but he wondered if she had the same feelings of joy and relief as he did. Heck he even wondered if she picked up on the cologne he had borrowed from Crash not too long ago. Probably not though because it would've been under his sweatshirt. However he didn't linger on that for long, because his mind was rapidly racing all at once. A billion things must have crossed his mind in the matter of a few seconds, but for once he couldn't focus on just one. All he knew that he was on cloud nine, and that Genevieve felt the same way about him. The world could have been crashing around him, and he wouldn't have even noticed.
However his senses slowly came back to him, although the giddy feeling was persistently refusing to vacate James. Almost as an aftershock he said "You have no idea how long I've been waiting to do that..." Out of the corners of his eyes he could see that the two of them were attracting attention, so although he didn't want to, James knew it was time to hurry up and get the food the pack desperately needed. So with a small sigh of regret he added "Judd's probably wondering what's taking us so long..," He hated having to throw the beta's name around, but it was the truth and it would be best for everyone if they kept Judd calm. No doubt he would fly into a rage when he found out they were making out instead of doing their jobs. We should probably hurry up, we don't Mr. Crankypants being a jerk again." He stated before he once again began to get stuff the pack needed, however he couldn't get rid of the childish grin on his face, and frankly he didn't want to get rid of it. It left him feeling whole and strangely warm inside and he knew it was a feeling he would never want to give up. So he reached for Vee's hand and laced his fingers in between hers to keep the feeling there. To remind him it was real, and that this wasn't just some daydream he had while fiddling with his precious Rubik's cube. He had found the courage and she revealed that she too felt the same way.

Vee laughed lightly, embarrassed. "Yeah." Before pulling up a creaky cart and
examining the different options. The veggie burgers made her shiver. What kind
of decent minded person would eat such a disgusting them? One who wasn't in their
right mind, that was for sure! But if they didn't hurry Juyd would beat them out and
get impatient, in fact he was probably finishing up about this time. "Beef or pork?"
She looked over at James playfully. Her cheeks were still a fiery color of red, but she
felt more relaxed.
