When the word 'werewolf' was announced during the weekly meeting between the vampires, shape-shifters, and the human, there was much uncertainty. Not much is known about werewolves and not even Carlisle; the oldest of them all could give a reliable answer. He learned all he knows from the Volturi and one could only suspect that most of their information was lies. Twisted to make the werewolves vile creatures that should be extinct. But of course they could be telling the truth.
"What do you know about them?" Sam asked slowly, wondering if werewolves were just like them in a way.
"I have never met one before but I've spent many years dedicated to learning about them." Carlisle answered. "During the full moon they turn into wolf like creatures. Their true form can vary between males and females. They are hotheaded and very deadly, phased or not. But unlike you and us they don't have any loyalties to humanity. I have theories but those can't be relied on considering I never even met one."
"Then why are you bringing them up?"
"A few days ago I received a call from a young gentleman whose name is Cathal. The conversation was short and to the point. One of Victoria's newborns killed a member of their pack. They want revenge."
"How do you know we can trust them?" Jasper asked, voicing the question everyone was thinking about. "What if they decide to turn on their natural enemies and rivaling pack?"
"Cathal promised no vegetarian vampire or shape-shifter will be harmed. Only in self-defense will they attack us. Risky as this may be we need all the help we can get."
"Except the battle probably won't happen on a full moon." Jacob said. "Unless they can phase without it there isn't a reason why we should let them come here."
"He assured me that his pack is quite capable of taking care of themselves. For years they have deluded the Volturi and have killed at least a dozen newborns in the Seattle area while in human form."
"If…we do agree to let them join…when will they come?" Sam asked.
"Five hours. They're close by trying to track Victoria. They may be powerful but not fast. I think it would be a wise decision to ask for their help. He informed me that they were immune to all vampire powers and that makes them very valuable allies in-case a newborn mange's to bring us down. I'm confident my family agrees with letting them come. But we need your vote."
The Shape-shifters exchanged looks but no one protested. The more power they have, the more likely it is that when this battle ends all of them would be alive to see their loved ones again.
"We have no problem with them coming. As long as they specify what they are capable of doing."
Not even a second late Alice's vision went completely dark. Glancing at Jasper she decide not to voice out the problem. Of course she saw this coming and with all her might she had almost convinced herself that they would either refuse to come or be killed by the newborns, all in hope to get a peek inside the future. But no avail. Not even a glimmer of hope.
