*Third person POV*

After Luna's (slightly) embarrassing breakdown, David took the lead & had everyone seated around the living room. The "Lost Gang" was seated on one side of the room while Michael, Sam, Star & the frog brothers were nervously seated as far away from the vampires as physically possible. David casually lit a cigarette before deciding to speak up.

"Alright. Now, same rules as before; you don't attack us, we don't attack you. Deal?" After a round of hesitant nods, he blew the thick smoke in Michael's face.

"Michael, I tried to make you immortal, and you responded by bringing vampire-hunters into my home, almost killing my brother's mate, and trying to take my halflings away from me."

"You tried to make me a killer! I didn't mean for Amber to get hurt, but I was only trying to help Star!"

David smirked as he glanced between Sam & the frog brothers before giving Michael a patronizing look.

"And in doing so, you deliberately put three kid's lives at risk, one of them being your own brother, almost got a woman killed, and tried to kidnap a child who was perfectly happy right where he was. All over a woman that you've known for less than a week."

Michael opened his mouth to protest and David raised an eyebrow at him, daring him to try & tell him otherwise. Realizing that he had no valid argument to give, Michael hung his head in shame & leaned against the back of the couch, signaling that he had nothing further to say. David chuckled before taking another drag off his cigarette.

"Um, D-David?" Sam hesitantly spoke up, causing David to turn & give him a questioning look.

"Uh, I-it wasn't all Michael's fault. I-I'm the one that called the frog brothers in the first place, and Michael actually tried to talk me out of going into the cave, but I went anyway. I...I didn't mean for anybody to get hurt, I was just trying to help my brother."

*Luna's POV*

Poor Sam. He really didn't mean for anybody to get hurt, he just got sucked into helping his idiot brother.

David sighed and I turned to see him giving Sam an understanding smile. "I can respect that. I'd probably do the same thing if I was in your position, but lets face it Sam, your brother's a grade-A asshole."

"Yeah, tell me something I don't know." Sam deadpanned, Michael shot him a death glare while everyone else (minus Star & the frog brothers) busted out laughing. I saw Sam smile at us before Michael subtly cleared his throat, and I frowned when he gave Sam a very pissed-off look, causing the poor kid to cringe slightly.

'Oh HELL no!'

"Michael! I suggest you stop that bullshit right now before I carve your fucking eyes out! I may consider you family, but that doesn't mean that I won't kick your ass! Just because we're vampires doesn't mean that Sam can't joke around with us!"

"Yeah Mikey! At least your brother doesn't have a stick up his ass like you do!" Paul joked before pulling out (yet another) joint and I smiled when he pulled out a book of matches.

'Katie must've gotten to him.'

"Alright! Enough with this bullshit! I'm getting tired of this pointless conversation! Are you gonna kill us or not?!"

'I guess Edgar got tired of keeping his mouth shut. Oh well, the silence was nice while it lasted.'

I growled before turning to face an annoyed Edgar frog.

"Here's the deal Edgar; even though you tried to kill Marko, almost killed my sister & have royally pissed me off, I'd rather have this night end peacefully. The only reason that I haven't killed both of you little fucktards is because of Sam. I'd rather not kill you, but I also don't want you two to kill any of us! So it seems we're at a standstill until we figure this shit out!"

Alan sat up before shooting us a glare. "What do you suggest then?"

"A truce."

I turned when David spoke up & saw him giving the frogs an intense stare.

"Despite what you may think, I am a reasonable guy. My pack has only ever fed from the scum of Santa Carla; drug-addicts, thieves, murderers, rapists, etc. We only kill innocents if it's absolutely necessary to protect our secret, but if you're willing to leave me & my pack alone & swear not to tell anyone about us, then we'd leave you alone in turn. But if you try to harm anyone in my pack or spill our secret, we'll kill you. Plain & simple."

The frog brothers shot up off the couch before Edgar pointed at David. "And how do we know that you won't just try to kill us later on?! We don't trust bloodsuckers!"

I heard multiple growls from the lost boys & quickly stood up before calmly walking over to stand in front of Edgar.

"Look, if anyone on either side breaks the deal, anything goes. If one of our pack tries to hurt you or your brother, then the deal is broken and you can take whatever action you see fit, but the same goes for us too."

Edgar crossed his arms and gave me a disbelieving look. "What makes you think I'll trust you any more than them?"

"I swear on the grave of my father Haliyi Waya, that as long as you let us live in peace, you & your brother will not be harmed by anyone in my pack."

(Gray Wolf)

I stated before offering my hand to him. He seemed to consider it for a few minutes before hesitantly reaching out to firmly shake my hand. I heard multiple sighs of relief & turned to see David giving me an amused look.

"Since when did you become the boss?"

"Since you were about to rip Edgar apart because he was pissing you off." He narrowed his eyes at me before Rose distracted him by pulling him in for a kiss. I walked over to Dwayne and he smiled before putting his arms around me.

"You called us your pack."

"Yeah, I know."

He chuckled and I reached up to kiss him before hearing the front door open.

"Michael? Sam?"

'Oh shit!'
