A/N: There is a canon character that will be making an appearance this chapter (a surprise, see if you remember them.). See, I have a thing about recycling wasted characters from the show. As some may have guessed, this story will include werewolves. I was originally going to keep them to a minimum, seeing as this story was about Bonnie and other witches. Still, I noticed werewolves are as under-used as witches on show. In fact, they get treated worse! They barley made an appearance, and Tyler got mostly cured of his curse (finale was the last time we see him change.). So I wanted to give both supernatural creatures a chance, in place of the vampires. The show already caters enough to them. Let me know what you think of this idea, and if you would like to see more of the weres/wolfs. :)

Guest: Tilas is cute!

- Werewolves of Portland -

After a while of being wrapped up in each other, soaked from head to toe, we decided to head inside the house.

Warm air from their old fashioned fire place welcomed me, as I sat on the chair with my body turned towards the heat. Kai went to make us hot chocolate with marshmallows. I should have been getting back to Tessa and Vicky, but the thought of snuggling up with with a hot mug of cocoa, was too much to resist.

I no longer felt overwhelmed by the emotions I had from the Silas situation. I wondered if I should call Luka, and tell Kai about Silas being back. problem was I knew their covens had Tess under house-arrest, which means they would question her involvement. It seemed her reputation amongst fellow witches had been damaged by her partnership with Silas. I would need to think about it first. I also didn't want to go behind her back. It was my aunt's call on what she choose to do with Silas, not mine.

For now, I would enjoy this time with Kai. I really wanted to spend time connecting with him. He made me feel at peace, and that was great comfort at this point.

Of course our peace was disturbed by a loud knock at the door.

Kai looked equally unhappy about the interruption, as he put the mugs down and went to answer the door.

Luka stood there in a huge black rain jacket, smiling at us with water dripping down his face. Kai raised an eyebrow, while my eyes widened in surprise. I had not expected to see him so soon.

"Forgive my intrusion, but I need to speak with you Kai," he smiled at us, waiting for an invite to come in.

Kai obliged his request, gesturing for him to enter.

"It's nice to see you again Bonnie," his voice was polite, as always.

"You too." I felt a little shy speaking with him. Although, I at least thought we had reached friend-level now.

"So Mr Intrusion, what is the meaning of this house call? " Kai's tone sounded agitated.

I tried to hide my smile. I was hoping he was unhappy due to wanting to spend time alone with me. A girl could at least dream.

"It seems we have a werewolf in our midst."

Those words Luka spoke, had me open-mouthed and gaping. Did he just say werewolf? As in those creatures I saw in movies? Like a werewolf in London and Paris, two movies me and Elena liked to sometimes indulge in on our little horror-movie night. Sure there were vampires, and we were witches, but werewolves? How was that even possible?

"Really Luka? come on, you know they have not been seen around here for years. Probably hiding out in a den somewhere." Kai was speaking, but I hardly registered his words.

I was still trying to get over the shock of this. Luka must have noticed, because he turned to address me.

"Sorry Bonnie. I keep forgetting you're not yet aware of all the supernaturals around here, yet. To answer that question I can see you pondering, yes, werewolves do exist. Well lycanthropes, as they're often called. They live amongst us, but have always stayed well hidden. They like it here, due to witches being added protection. You see, witches are not the only thing the vampires tend to kill. Werewolves have always been a bigger threat to them, and they hate it." He was checking my response, paying attention to my facial features.

My shock must have still been apparent, because Kai placed his hands on my shoulders. Massaging them lightly, like he was trying to calm a scared animal. His fingers worked their magic on the nerves making my muscles bunch up into knots.

"Aww come on Bon, I thought chicks love cute furry animals? especially wolfs. Think of them as over-sized teddies," his tone was playful.

I swiped his hands away, and Luka tried to hide his laugh before continuing.

"That is not an appropriate, or correct description, Kai. They're certainly not cute and harmless, just like wild wolves. Which is why I'm worried," his voice turned serious.

Kai stopped trying to rub my shoulders after me pushing him away, and finally gave Luka his full attention.

"How long ago?" he asked casually.

Like having a werewolf running around, was a usual occurrence. What the hell was wrong with them all? Did nothing surprise them? What next, will Bigfoot be making an appearance?

I felt like asking them this, but Luka's face shut me up. He looked worried, and that was not good. Luka always remained calm, and held that aura of leadership and diligence when it comes to all tasks. Yet right now, he looked a little lost. It was disconcerting.

"Last night," his tone a mixture of annoyance and worry.

"So we go and see Mr wolf-King, then?" Kai asked, not sounding like he cared about the answer either way.

"Seems like it. Not seen him since I was a young teen, trying to learn coven business from my Dad. I think their leader still runs things. Sorry Bonnie, you should stay here."

Luka gave me an anxious look, and I waved it off. I might be the new witch on the block, but we were a team. I had that Bennett tendency of protecting those I counted as close. They were starting to feel pretty close to me now, my witch-kin. I wouldn't let them go alone.

"No, I'm coming with you," I tried to fill my voice with confidence.

Luka nodded and said nothing more, while Kai waited for him to lead the way.

"I'm hope you're prepared for a long trek," that was said with great caution and humor.

It seemed Luka had not been kidding about the long trek in the woods. I was not some city-girl that couldn't handle a bit of mud and hiking. Me, Matt, Caroline and Elena went camping a few times. It had been okay, other than Caroline moaning about not having all her hair-products with her. It had been on a nice day, this was not a nice day for a walk. the rain had made the ground too slippery and mushy. My boots were sinking into the mud like quicksand.

I was thankful it was no longer raining, but hated the wet damp feel of my over-sized jacket Kai had given me to borrow. At least I took comfort in the fact it smelled like him.

Luka was walking up ahead of us like it was no big thing. I thought he would cause more of a fuss, considering he was used to wearing his dry-cleaned suits all the time. He just went along like it was a nice sunny day, leaving me and Kai trailing behind.

Kai, like me, was not looking thrilled by our little hike. The air around us had turned into a damp mist, covering the forest. It was cool against my sweaty forehead, that was hot from all the strenuous walking up a long hill.

I missed Portland city area, and promised myself I would look around town as soon as I got back.

After what seemed like a good half-hour of walking, we were deep into the forest, coming into a clearing.

There we were met by an Asian man sitting on a huge rock, smiling at us in a mocking way as we came close. I was surprised to see him looking dry and not affected by the rain, that had occurred before we set off. There didn't appear to be any shelter around. Or maybe he had wondered out later, after the rainfall, like we did.

I took in his features, he certainly was handsome. He looked older than all of us, but his face was still youthful. With a nice short haircut that made his soft wavy black hair form a halo around his features.

He was wearing a light blue shirt, that had dirt stains on it, followed by a pair of faded jeans. He was muscular, but still slender much like Kai was. His dark eyes were scanning us, in the same way a wolf would. Tilting his head to the side, continuing to inspect us.

"Got lost in the woods after a nice little stroll?" he asked playfully, but I could pick up on the hidden menace.

"More like got lost on the way to Grandma's house," Kai replied back with a grin.

I couldn't help but laugh a his little red riding hood joke, that helped dispel some of the tension I could feel in the air. The mystery guy seemed to laugh a little too.

"Well, you're in big-bad-wolf territory now. Is there a reason for this?" He glared at us.

He had a slight Japanese accent I could detect. I noticed Thanks to those Japanese classes I took in high school, when I couldn't get the hang of Spanish.

"Bonnie, this is Aki Katazama. He owns this territory, and lives here with his wolf pack," Luka explained.

I noticed he didn't answer Aki's question, probably trying to think of the best tactful response. Unlike Kai, who loved to stir up trouble.

Aki only briefly looked at me, nodding his head as what I assumed was a greeting. He had what looked like a Samurai sword in hand, and was tracing the dirt under his big black boots with it. Looking the picture of boredom. I had a feeling he was not happy we were here.

"Hey dude, that sword looks fucking cool. Are you specialized in samurai arts?" Kai asked like an excited child. I'm guessing he had seen way to many movies.

Aki merely glanced at him with an eyebrow raised, before smirking.

"Wow, you don't stereotype, do you?" He replied back in a sarcastic tone, before continuing.

"It's actually a Katana, and I do teach kendo as a profession, so you could say I'm specialized in sword play." His smile now seemed more welcoming.

It didn't last long, before he went back to studying the dirt beneath his shoes. Cutting through it with his katana, not sparing us another glance. We all looked at each other, feeling more on edge. Even Kai lost some of his usual cool-facade, as he didn't continue to make his usual jokes. Aki spoke again after a few minutes, and this time he made his hostility more apparent.

"So Luka, what are you three witches doing in my neck of the woods?" he finally looked up at us, waiting for our reply.

"Well, our magical barrier spells around town picked up on one of your kind running around. We came to ask if you if knew about this?" Luka kept his question and voice void of any accusation.

Probably afraid to piss Aki off, which didn't work as well as he might have hoped, as Aki looked agitated by the question.

"My gang know not to cross into your territory, believe me witch. We tend to stay in our lane, as long as you stay in yours. This is the first I've heard of this. It must be some new pup on the block, who doesn't know how things work around here." He shrugged, and threw his katana into the field behind him.

Before turning back to us, looking less than pleased.

"Are you their alpha?" I asked innocently.

I really was curious, from what I had read and saw in movies. He grinned at me, finding my question humorous. I was glad I at least amused him enough to calm some of that hostility.

"No, I'm not. Wolves in wild the tend to have a family system, which we also have in place. They count me as their leader, but I'm no alpha," he sounded like he found the idea hilarious.

"Getting back to the point, we really need to know," Luka brought us back to the main topic at hand.

Aki turned to acknowledge him with a frown, before whistling a call out to the forest. It made my ears hurt slightly, but it was a pleasant sound. After a few minutes, a pretty older blonde woman showed up. Her wavy golden honey hair was covered in leafs and some dirt, and she looked dressed up to go on a long hike. Her boots were muddy, and so was her big blue jacket and jeans. I wonder if she was a werewolf that had gone through the furry-change over night?

"This is Julie, but she goes by the name of Jules" Aki answered the question we had not spoken.

Jules smiled at us, but she looked at him warily. It seemed witches were not exactly popular among werewolves. I could feel their distrust, as they stared at us like we had invaded their territory.

"They want to know if one of our own has been running their streets." Aki didn't hide the glare he sent in Luka's direction, as he informed her.

Her eyes widened. Aki lit a cigarette he got from his jean pockets, not looking very bothered by her surprise.

"None of us would do that," Jules said with great certainty.

Kai was the one to break the awkward silence.

"What my uptight friend Luka was trying to say, is that we believe you're lying and have been running around our streets on all fours." Kai grinned at me and Luka, looking proud of himself.

I wanted to slap him, and by the looks of it, so did Aki and Jules.

"I can assure you, we have no need to step into your territory," Jules voice was lovely and calm, but still held that hidden anger.

"Then it's a stray? Which we find it hard to believe, that you guys don't know about it," Kai pointed out without any fear of their reaction.

I felt my heart beat fast, anticipating their attack. Luckily, they sat there looking at us in confusion. Aki still smoking in nonchalance, and Julie creasing her eyebrows in worry.

"It might be Mason's nephew. Mason called me to tell me his nephew was coming down here, and that he was worried Tyler was going through the change," Jules replied anxiously. She gave Aki a worried look.

My mind went spinning into turmoil that very moment. Did she just say Tyler? As in my sometimes-asshole childhood friend, Tyler? How was that even possible?

I thought there might have been a misunderstanding, but there were not many Tyler's around with an uncle called Mason. What were the odds? this was a nightmare.

"Did you just say Tyler? " I asked in my brain-fog moment.

Julie and Aki looked at me for the first time. Jules frowned, looking as if she were hesitating to give me further information.

"Yes, you know him?" she asked me in confusion.

Glad I wasn't the only one confused. I must have stood there looking like a shocked statue for a few minutes, because I could feel Kai touch my upper back; gently trying to wake me out of my day dream. His hand felt warm on my cold back, as I felt like someone had thrown ice water on me. This couldn't be happening. Bad enough I was the freak in my normal-circle of friends, but now Tyler was also one of the supernaturals? A werewolf no less?

"Well this is the first I've heard about Mason's nephew, and some wolf puppy running around your area. Look, why don't we all meet later at night?" Aki polity offered.

"It's full-moon tonight," Luka added skeptically.

I wonder why he sounded so suspicious? my brain couldn't form any answers, as I was too hung up on this Tyler-werewolf news.

"Why yes, it is. You guys will have to be extra careful, but it would be nice if you could come earlier in the evening. We are having one of our den-parties, to celebrate." Aki smiled at us with a look of excitement as he said this.

"Den-party? how very feral of you," Kai mocked them.

They didn't seem to mind, in fact Aki burst out laughing. Jules stood there still looking hesitant. I stood there in shock, not even registering what was going on around me.

This whole situation was bad. Very bad.
