Lucian searched for his jacket throughout the lab. Singe walked in holding a test tube of blood. He dropped the vile when he realized Thane was no longer lying on unconscious on the surgical table.

"Singe, have you seen my jacket?"

"No, but we have a bigger problem?"

"What the fuck are you talking about?"

Lucian looked up and saw the spilled blood on the ground. He sniffed the air and recognized the scent immediately.

"He was here!"

"Well, yes, I didn't recognize him! He was pale and disorientated. I wasn't paying attention."

Lucian now had Singe by the throat. He looked at him sideways for a minute and then realized there was no use in hurting him so he set him back down.

"That's quite alright as long as he is alive that's all that matters. But I want him found before the vampires do."

"Yes. . . yes of course."

Lucian called upon Raze, Taylor, Pierce and a few other lycans to go and find Thane.

"Thane is to be kept alive and not harmed in any way. Even if he harms you." he looked right at Guillame.

"Are you coming with us?" asked Raze.

"No, unfortunately I have a meeting to attend to."

The lycans knew that they would encounter bloods so they brought ammunition.

Selene sat atop a roof looking at a fountain that sat in a park. Thane was getting his energy back after stealing some food from a man walked down the street. As he walked down the streets of Budapest the death dealers were going to lure Thane into a trap. Thane soon came into view.

He looked up. He could smell the vampires, but stopped on the sidewalk about 100 feet from Selene. Selene's heart stopped six very large lycans came into view. Thane looked down the street and a big grin came across his face. A bullet ripped through Thane's shoulder. Selene looked up Mason had fired upon Thane. He stumbled back and clutched his bleeding shoulder.

"BLOODS!" shouted Raze.

Lucian's limo pulled up next to Kraven's limo. Lucian got out, Soren opened the car door and Lucian stepped inside.

"Lucian we have a problem."

"I'm very well of the situation. You knew he was alive?"

Kraven didn't answer at first he swallowed hard and waited to be bashed in the face.

"You knew he was alive this entire time and you kept that from me! You owe me for everything you have."

"Lucian I couldn't tell you. I would have loved to have gotten him out of the manor."

"If your death dealers find him before my lycans do I will want him handed over to me?"

"I can't I. . . I have orders about him."

"Like what?"

"If the death dealers find him he is to simply brought back to mansion."

"What the fuck are you trying to say?"

"He's Amelia's son."

"What?"

"That's why he was never killed in the first place. Viktor changed the rules just for him. Why do you think you never saw him on a full moon. We began to suspect something before she told us since he would walk in the sun and sleep like a lycan at night."

Lucian was quiet although having the urge to strangle Kraven he decided it wasn't worth it. Lucian looked back at Kraven, glared and then left.

Gun were blazing as the vampires and lycans went at it. Raze told Thane to hide behind a pillar while the fight took place. Thane removed the bullet from his shoulder and his wound immediately healed. Guillame went down his gun slide across the ground stopping in front of Thane. Thane had never fired a gun let alone know what it is. He picked it up.

"Thane get down."

Thane looked at how Raze was holding his gun and fired his gun. He copied it. Thane stood up and fired blankly. He heard a cry from a vampire and new he had hit someone. Raze pushed him down.

"Stay down!"

"I have to help."

"You have to lie low!"

Raze disappeared back into the gun fire. Thane was grabbed by his shirt. When he turned his head he saw bluecrimson eyes looking directly at him. Thane jumped to his feet and pointed the gun at the vampire. He soon knew who he was about to fire on it was Selene.

"Selene. . ."

Another slug hit Thane in the back. He staggered forward.

"Shit!"

Selene held him up. Thane took hold of a statue dug his thumb an index finger into his chest and removed the bullet. She heard a low growl come from Thane. He looked up and his eyes were jet black. Thane was going to transform. His spine jutted out along with his chest. Claws grew from his hands and long canines, and a snout developed. His skin was now a dark blue.

"Thane no!"

But it was too late Thane was tarring apart vampires. Selene had no choice, but to fire upon him. A sleek black limo pulled up to the curb. Thane turned around and smelled Lucian. He should be dead. . . He ran over to the limo and got in to see none other than Lucian himself. There was silence. Thane changed back into his human form still breathing heavily.

"Hello. . ."
