Selene looked to Michael again. The building was old and all the windows were boarded up. This looked like anything but home.

Raze, still in lycan form looked in all directions around him. Seeing that the cost was clear he turned into his human form.

"Actually this is just the entrance. The actual hideout is down below the ground." Raze said to Selene.

"You sure the vampyres don't know of this place?" Michael asked Raze, acting like a leader already.

"Not even Kraven" Raze said, anger and hate rising in his voice as soon as Kraven's voice was mentioned.

"Good. Well, we better move in or a vampyre will catch us." Michael said moving forward. Suddenly he looked to Selene, stopping dead in his tracks.

Selene simply nodded and followed him in. Raze pulled up the rear making sure to seal the door behind them. The scent of lycan was strong. Selene found herself wandering close to Michael.

Raze walked over to a little hatch door made of pure steel on the floor. As he did so voices from below rose up. Raze motioned Michael to go first. He did so and Selene followed closely.

As the concrete stairs came to an end Michael found himself in what appeared to be a common room. Some lycans were sitting around in human form. Others preferred the lupine form. Even little children lycans were running around.

All conversations and activities stopped as Michael walked in followed by Selene then Raze.

Raze stepped forward, "This is Michael, the hybrid. And this," Raze paused motioning to Selene who was partially behind Michael "This is the lady vampyre, Selene. You all will show BOTH of them respect,"

Selene noticed that Raze specifically stressed the word 'both'. She looked around and saw the lycans. Almost all looked at Michael with the utter most respect. Some glanced at her with interesting or curious looks, others with looks of hate. She couldn't blame them.

Raze paused a moment and looked to a certain lycan in it's lycan form in a shadowy corner. He had his eyes on Michael. It was pure black except for its piercing cobalt eyes. It looked bigger and stronger than the rest of them. It was very muscular. Possibly the strongest lycan known to the Underworld.

"As I was saying, BOTH of them will be treated with your utter most respect or-," Raze was cut off by the lycan in the corner.

"Or else you will have to answer to me!" the lycan said standing up. The crowd, just noticing that he was present in the room, all tensed up. Michael assumed this was a lycan of some importance.

The lycan came over to Michael and held out a paw. Michael was not sure what this meant. The lycan morphed into its human form. It was a tall muscular man with black spiked hair. He had ice blue eyes.

"Hello Michael" he said in a cool voice.

"Umm... hi?" Michael was confused. The way this stranger said his name was almost like the way Lucian said it when Michael first saw him in the elevator about a week ago. He couldn't believe all of this had happened since then.

"My name's Aubrey," the man said "and I run what is left of this pack"

"Oh, hi." Michael repeated.

Selene looked at Aubrey. She remembered hearing tales of him. Supposedly he had a big part to play with lycan history. Death Dealers often referred to him as ' The Mistake'. But before she could remember the stories she had been told of him, he looked to her.

"And this must be the infamous Selene. The menace to our kind." Aubrey said with a smirk.

Michael felt a sudden rage building up inside him. "Don't you dare speak to her that way!"

Aubrey started to smile. "Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you. But you didn't let me finish. I was going to say, the menace to our kind, but now she shall surely help us."

Michael felt stupid for lashing out like he just did.

Aubrey turned from Michael and looked to the crowd. "As Raze said, ALL of you will treat BOTH of our guests with as much respect as you would give to me. Now, go back to your business while our new guests get comfortable."

The crowd around them dissipated as they all went back to doing what ever they were doing before. Aubrey turned back to Michael and Selene. Raze had left them to go tend to his business as well.

Aubrey looked to Selene. "I am sorry for my choice of words. Hopefully we can forget that?"

"Sure." was all that escaped Selene's mouth.

"Great. And I hope I can redeem myself to you, Boss" Aubrey said giving a slight bow.

"We'll see" Michael said getting used to being referred to as a being of the higher class.

"Fair enough. Well, shall I show you to your rooms?" Aubrey asked.

Michael nodded. Aubrey turned his back and started to walk. Michael and Selene picked up their bags and followed him through the grim hallways of their new home...
