"Wait, you can't howl?" Nathaniel asked, brown and green eyes wide, "Uh, dude...how come?"
Lucas shrugged, "I don't know. I never really could."
Zakiah looked grim, looking at Nathaniel for a second, "Okay, that isn't normal."
"It's not?" Daniel muttered lowly.
"It isn't? I thought it was supposed to come with time," Lucas said, worry filling him. How messed up was he?
"Typically by a Werewolfs first or second full moon, they should be able to howl." Nathaniel explained. "But...Maybe your a late howler?" He offered, but Zakiah's look told him to just stop talking before he made Lucas feel worse. Everyone else gave him looks.
"Oh...Yeah, that maybe...it..." He sighed, the palm of his hand rubbing his eye, "How much longer until the first battle again?"
Zakiah counted her fingers, "Exactly a week. And you haven't found a tribe."
"How can he now?" Nathaniel said, "He can't howl. If he can't howl how are they supposed to know when to attack?"
"Hey, how about you guys do Lupas dirty work and leave my nephew out of this." Jack said quietly like Daniel had before. Elizabeth gave him a look.
"I don't know, Nathaniel, maybe he can learn on the way." Zakiah said, "But he can still find one."
"How about no," Daniel whispered, earning a slap to his arm from Andrew.
"I'm still here, you know." Lucas muttered.
Nathaniel blew out a puff of air, "Well, he doesn't have to worry right now. It's just a small battle. Nothing bad is going to happen."
"Yeah." Lucas laughed slightly, his nerves jumping. A week...
Zakiah ruffled his hair, "Don't worry. Everythings going to fine."
"We should warn everyone else about silver."
"Silver?" North asked.
"We're very allergic to silver, only if it gets in our blood. And if not treated, even a nip can get infected and kill us within maybe a hour or two, depends on how bad it is." Zakiah shrugged, "We need someone to shoot Lycaon."
"You're going to shoot 'im?" Bunny raised an eyebrow.
"How else are we going to stop him? He isn't going to surrender, and bullets are faster than trying to stab him." Zakiah turned to Sawyer, "Can you shoot a gun, Hatter?" Despite Sawyer's dislike of the nickname, she didn't care if Zakiah called her that, because Zakiah liked to tease her that way.
"Oh, I would," Sawyer began, her smile growing forced, "But... I'm not good with guns."
Daniel sighed, "I'll do it."
"Everything settled, Freckles?" Rayne smirked, and Zakiah blinked at her.
"Oh no, don't."
"You're known as Freckles now!" Rayne sing-songed, easing everyone's nerves.
"I am not!"
"Yes, I think that everything!" Nathaniel cut in, covering Zakiahs mouth with his hand, which she promptly bit.
"Wait, there are only three Werewolves." Asher noted, "Against...well...more Werewolves."
"Thanks for reminding me, Handsome!" Zakiah winked jokingly, making Asher just stare at her. Next to him, Damien tried not to laugh. "We're going to have Nathaniel's tribe with us." She looked at Nathaniel, "We should probably bring them close by anyways. We got a week." He nodded, walking away.
"Got it."
.
Lucas stared in wonder. His jaw was hanging, eyes wide.
Werewolves. So many Werewolves.
"Pretty cool, huh?" Nathaniel smiled, looking back at the tribe before them. They were in the woods, the snow beautifully falling on the Wolves.
"Yes." He whispered, "I never thought...I mean...Theres so many..."
"There's way more, I think this tribe is a total of...what, ten? Not much, but," Zakiah paused at the pure wonder on her brother's features. She smiled slightly, ruffling his hair. "Want to meet them?"
He nodded.
"Hey, Liam!" Zakiah called, waving over a dark skinned male, with a buzz cut brown hair and stunning indigo eyes, nearly the same color as Lucas's if they were more blue.
"This the new one? Lucas?" He smiled, holding out his hand, "Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too," Lucas smiled back, clasping his hand, noticing the ring on his wedding finger.
Liam noticed this, "Oh, yeah, I have a wife." Lucas blinked at him, because he looked like he was in his early twenties. What was he doing in a war?
"And your doing this?" He couldn't help to ask.
"Yeah," He laughed slightly, "Descendant of Lupa, ya' know? So, what are you?"
Nathaniel cut in, "We're not sure yet, maybe Lupa?"
"Or Lycaon..." Zakiah muttered, earning a laugh from the bulky male.
"Well, doesn't matter, right? Family is family." Squeezing Lucas's shoulder, Liam left to join his tribe.
"So, what did you think?" Nathaniel asked.
Lucas hummed slightly, "Very interesting."
"How so?" Zakiah chuckled.
"He's married, but he's still doing this, because he's Lupas descendant."
Nathaniel nodded slowly, "Yeah, he said that."
Lucas shook his head, "Nevermind. This is going to be fun."
"Not the best thing to call a war, but okay." Nathaniel laughed.

Lupa looked down at Lucas. He sat there next to her, his purple eyes wide and terrified.
She knew he was nervous when he saw her, considering she said she wouldn't talk to him once the war was about to begin.
And, the other reason, that Lycaon sent another note to Lucas, involving his adoptive parents.
'Getting closer, pup. Once I kill you, your parents are next'
"Lucas," She began.
"You said you wouldn't speak to me again," He whispered, "My parents are in danger. I-I can't risk that. I know he's threatened them before in the same way, but-" He paused, "He's not kidding. I realize he's not."
"Calm, child, calm," She nuzzled next to him, her touch easing his tension.
"I'm sorry I didn't find a tribe to help-"
"You have time. Don't worry, Lucas."
He glanced down, "If I find one, I'm backing down."
Lupa sighed, "Why is that?"
"If my dads get hurt because of me-"
"I'll watch over them."
He jumped in surprise. "I...Really?" It wasn't everyday the Wolf goddess was protecting a simple wolfs parents.
Lupa's features became more soft, loving, "Yes, Lucas. Really."
"T-Thank you, Lupa, really." He whispered, shocked.
"Of course," She stood up, "It's nearly dawn."
Lucas looked down, something feeling off, "Lupa?"
"Yes?"
"I can't howl." The way he said it sounded incredibly lame, and Lupa laughed.
"Is that all?"
He felt even more embarrassed, "Is...that really bad, though? Nathaniel said-"
"Don't worry about what he said. I couldn't howl for the longest time."
Lucas jumped, giving her an even more shocked look, "H-Huh? You? But you're-"
"The first wolf, I know." She chuckled slightly. She then sighed, "Well, it's morning. Good luck, and remember; your parents are under my protection."

"Hey," Daniel said, leaning against the doorframe of Lucas's room. Lucas, who had his back turned, crumpled up the note in his hand, heart beating fast.
"Hi," He turned to look at his adoptive father.
Daniel knew something was wrong with him, he could just tell. "Okay, whats wrong?"
Come clean, idiot! Show him the stupid note! Do it!
Lucas tried to ignore the voice in his head yelling at him. "Nothing. I'm just nervous, I guess."
"Yeah, I get that." Daniel paused for a while.
Lucas bit his lip, "...Dad?"
"Yeah?"
"Are you still mad at me for this?"
Daniel forced a smile, "We're not mad at you, Lucas. Yes, at first, we were. But now?" His hand ran over his tan face, "Luke," Lucas swore he heard his voice crack, which resulted in his heart cracking too. "We just...We can't lose you."
Oh yes, his father, Daniel Summers, known for never being sad-even if he did it was rare-, easy going, and hard to break, and Lucas was the one to make him crack.
And god, was it an awful feeling.
"I..." What was he supposed to say? Then it dawned on him. "You're not going to lose me-" He nearly jumped out of his skin when he heard his dad sob. When, in all of his life, had he ever hear a sound that made him wish he wasn't born? Well, now. Lucas shifted his weight from one side to the other. Slowly, hesitantly, he hugged his dad. He felt him return the hug, pulling him close.
"Please, Lucas, stay safe. No matter what happens, stay safe, promise me."
"I promise," He said automatically.
"I don't know what me and Andrew would do if you-" He stopped, and Lucas knew he couldn't say it. But Lucas nodded in understanding.
"Daddy?" Lucas whispered, trying to swallow the lump in his throat away. "Promise me you and Momma will stay safe too."
Daniel laughed slightly, "Of course. I promise."
