Thanks for the reviews! Sorry for the cliff hanger, and disclaimer, I don't own any of the night world characters mentioned (and met!) from here on out :)

In stepped a couple of werewolves. Both were male with scarring on their faces. She could tell they were werewolves from the way they moved. It was robotic, they had a job to do and they made sure they did it. They also had unattractive large amounts of hair all over their bodies. They were dressed in black and although she could see no weapons, she was sure there were ones. They probably had two weapons of Iron, sliver and wood each.
She flexed her fingers, tingling with her power. They would not touch Alec, and she knew he was thinking the same thing about her. She noted that Alec's posture be that of exaggerated boredom. His hands reached behind him and pushed her back a step before filling the gap.
"Close the door will you?" He asked the werewolves in a lazy voice.
The smaller werewolf looked to the larger one for conformation before closing the large bronze doors.
"Now... Gentlemen." Said Alec, smirking on the word gentlemen. "I trust you have some sort of message for me?"
The larger one nodded and stepped forward. Alec immediately pushed Sydney back, moving himself back with it.
"Please." Spoke Alec. "Stay back. There is a lady here and I wish for her sense of smell to still be intact after this meeting."
"Are you saying we smells?" Growled the larger one. Sydney could tell from the plural use of the word smell he wasn't very intelligent.
"Yes. Now get on with the message. I did have plans for today." Alec said, his voice sounding exasperated. The type you would use to speak to a child after it had made a mess.
"Lord Alec." The werewolf began. Sydney's eyebrows shot up at this. "Hunter Redfern requests your presence in the Dark Kingdom."
"Is that it?" Asked Alec in a bored tone.
"Yes." Said the werewolf shortly.
Alec appeared to be debating whether to go or not. "No thanks."
The werewolf seemed surprised by his answer. "Hunter Redfern." He empathized in case Alec hadn't heard.
"I heard and I'm saying no. You see; gentlemen." Sneering on the word gentlemen again. He stepped forward. Power radiating from him; the two werewolves shifted slightly but held their ground. "I know more than you think I do." The werewolves shifted slightly again. "Hunter is dead. The young prince killed him. The dark kingdom is in ruin and if you think for one second." His voice rose slightly power coursing through it. "I will come with you... Well you're even stupider than you appear to be."
Then they attacked Alec. Sydney screamed but she needn't have. Alec was more than a match for two werewolves. He blocked their blows and feigned his own, moving deftly and with purpose. He moved for only one purpose. To kill. As the first one fell she noticed it take out a small device and blow into it. A dog whistle. She couldn't hear it and she wondered if Alec could.
"Alec!" She screamed in warning as eight more werewolves stormed the joint. Alec took down the second one before whirling around to take down the rest. Six moved to him while two went over to her. She stared into the rabid eyes of her attacker defiantly. She wasn't going down without a fight. She glanced over and saw Alec. He was winning, but slowly. It would take a few minutes for him to get to her. She didn't have a few minutes. As she saw the werewolf about to strike she ran to the table. They lunged after her and before she could reach her destination they were upon her. She hissed in exasperation before slowly backing up to the staircase. They followed a red tint in their eyes and a victorious grin. She brought her hands up meekly. Creating the orange fire, they were too busy grinning at each other to notice. They obviously thought her human.
She let it go on the first one. It howled in pain and stumbled backwards before the fire killed him. The second one growled and ran to her. She reached onto the staircase and used it to pull herself up and did a explosive two footed kick to his head. It growled and stumbled. Silver. She thought desperately. She needed sliver. She suddenly spotted a sliver knife hanging on the wall; obviously left there by Alec in case this happened. She focused on it before it zoomed towards her and into the skull of her attacker. His body slumped and fell on her; knocking Sydney down from its weight. She hurriedly pushed it off her and stood to watch as Alec stabbed the final werewolf. As it fell to the ground she heard a howl coming from outside.
Within a second he was beside her. "Are you okay?" He asked urgently. Seeing her conformation he moved quickly. "That howl came from one of the eight. Seeing that they were losing it ran. It's probably reporting back to whoever hired it." He picked her up and ran upstairs, speaking as he did so. "They will be upon us in minutes. I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have let it go." She saw the regret in his eyes. He ran into a room with a large suitcase and put her down. Rushing around and adding stuff to it quickly.
Sydney watched all of this carefully.
"I won't put you in danger... Got to go home..." She could hear him muttering.
She moved quickly and grabbed his arm. Stopping his frantic movements. "I was attacked too." She told him, seeing his surprise she continued. "And my attackers are currently downstairs dead. I can take care of myself and I'm staying with you." She spoke all of this steadily, staring into his eyes. He paused for a moment then nodded and picked up the full suitcase as if it weighed nothing. He took her hand and led her downstairs, Sydney running to keep up with his large strides. He paused at the doors listening before opening them quickly and moving swiftly to a flash sports car. Throwing the suitcase in the boot he got in the drivers seat. As soon as Sydney closed the door he drove; breaking the speed limits it took no time till they were on the highway.
Sydney did up her seatbelt before asking. "Where are we going?"
Alec gave her a grim smile before answering. "Circle Daybreak."
