"I've figured out what I'm getting Kami for Christmas." Cyrus informed his packmate Calvin as they patroled the perimiter of Kami's property. Calvin looked down at his pack leader and gave him a 'And that is...?' look.

"I'm going to give her Maeve's head on a platter. Her scent is all over that room, and it's the only other scent there." Cyrus growled at a rabbit that had happened to wander into their path. The rabbit, wisely, chose to make good its escape before either werewolf could turn it into a tasty snack.

Calvin shrugged, then jerked his head towards the house.

"I know, I know. Long line for head chopping." He looked towards the cliff. "She's gonna be really angry if the priest is here when she wakes up. She hates him now, you know."

Calvin scratched his bald head and rolled his eyes.

"I'm not kidding! She got really angry the last time someone brought up his name. Really pissed. Scary pissed."

Calvin just shrugged. Few things scared the bald giant. Tiny asian women were not amongst them.

"If he tries to stop me..." Cyrus growled again. "Maeve's going down for this, and Gaia help anyone who gets in my way."

Calvin opened his mouth and spoke to his pack leader for the first time in several months. "Ghent?"

"I hope it wont be another Ghent. But this time I don't have anything holding me back. As soon as I know if Kami'll be okay... we move out."
