10. Fen's Love Advice for Seth

Fen could smell Tabitha's arousal, and he could especially see how discouraged she was after what he saw could be another failed attempt to flirt with her boyfriend. He glared at Seth who was still very preoccupied with Jacob's sister phasing, and he nudged him. "Your girlfriend is thirsty" he pointed out.

"Maybe she went back to get a drink then" Seth pondered.

"Not that kind of thirsty, man"

Seth grew more confused with him. "What do you mean?"

Charlie and Josh did not want to be a part of the conversation. Fen scowled at him and grabbed his shoulder bringing him close while pointing towards Tabitha who was clearly depressed. "Have you even gotten intimate with your girlfriend?"

"Well, we hold hands and cuddle…"

"MmmmHmmm"

"We kiss"

"Good"

"Then she stuck her tongue in my mouth and…"

"Did you play her tits?"

"What!?"

"Grab her ass?"

"No!" Seth raised his voice very offended. "It was weird…"

"Goddamn it…Seth…When your woman sticks her tongue in your mouth it means she's horny! You don't bitch out and make her feel wet and embarrassed. She wants to take things to the next level. She wants you to touch her…she wants you to ram her from behind!" Fen explained punching his fist into his other hand.

Seth stared at him in shock. "But…why did she not tell me"

Fen pointed to his nose. "You can tell…you get familiar with a female's scents. She'll let you know in other ways…I'll help you" he said.

Tabitha finally came back with her tablet ready to take orders, which her rear was faced towards Seth. Fen reached around while Seth's nose was buried in the menu, and he grabbed Seth's arm forcing his hand onto Tabitha's soft plush buttocks. She turned quickly and blushed swatting his hand away, and she knew Fen had a hand in it somewhat grateful for his intervention. "Seth not here!"

Seth was horrified thinking that it was all over as she took their orders until she touched his shoulder with one hand and caressed his chest with the other. "And I know what you want my dear" she said in a seductive voice. Her hand trailed down under the table and groped his goodies causing him to clinch and Fen to laugh.

She smiled and gave Seth a smooch ruffling his head before she walked off in a much better mood. Seth whimpered not sure what happened, but Fen grinned devilishly. "I'll teach you how to be a proper wolf"

"Fen! Why are you doing this?" Seth asked.

"You look like you need to get laid…besides that, I thought you were supposed cater to your imprintee's whim" he muttered before he snickered at him. "You need to destress, dude. Don't get caught up with everything that's going on. Focus on her…she can help you find tranquility and feel the flow of mana between you. All this distraction is only going to hamper your training…believe me. Wolves worry easily…sometimes too much"

"I guess…but…I know nothing about sex"

Fen scowled at him. "You got an idea through Leah didn't you?" he retorted.

"Fen…I don't have a ginormous dong like you do" Seth said defensively.

Charlie and Josh both coughed abruptly overhearing their conversation from their own. Fen looked up at them slightly embarrassed before he rolled his eyes sighing heavily. He closed his eyes and shook his head hoping that Charlie and Josh went back to their side conversation about fishing.

"Seth…you don't need a huge dick to please a woman…honestly, it's a lot more trouble than it's worth. Just be glad you don't have to worry about it touching the bottom of the toilet bowl or woman's teeth scrapping against it then vomits when she realizes she can't deep throat you. I kind of wish mine wasn't so big…I'm just lucky Leah doesn't mind it "

"Ew, Leah threw up?"

"No…I had a relationship with an off and on relationship with a kitsune"

"What's a Kitsune?"

"You know…they are Japanese shapeshifters…only they change into foxes instead of wolves. Very proficient in using magic and seduction" he said before he trailed off. "They are usually small petite women…very wily and gorgeous. They are like succubi…they drain you of mana through sex"

Charlie closed his eyes rubbed the bridge of his nose again. Josh stared at Fen impressed with his supernatural encounters.

Fen rubbed the back of his head awkwardly going into detail about his love life, but he was just trying to help Seth get over his insecurity. "Seth, you just have to experiment with what you got…somethings will work for some while the same not so much. There is such thing as big too big. Honestly if you are between a banana and a cucumber, I think you'll do alright…"

Seth rubbed the back of his head and laughed. "Wow, I guess you have a point there…yea…I think can do it" he said with confidence.

"Don't be a dumbass and get her knocked up. Go to the store and buy some condoms" Fen said.

"Aren't you worried about Leah getting pregnant?" Seth asked.

"Psh, no…I'm almost thirty Seth…I've got my shit together. I know how to use my powers to benefit her and our pups. I'm not worried…" Fen said although Seth was not convinced. Fen grumbled to himself. "Why are you here!? Shouldn't you be training?"

Seth tapped at the table nervously and whimpered. "I don't know where to go. They put off training until they could get Rachel to calm down. Leah is…moody. She and Rachel almost bit my head off. Sam knows we're hiding something, and now, Jacob's paranoid that you being here made his sister phase"

"Jacob's a fucking idiot…if I were the cause, then my mom would be able to phase, and my sister wouldn't be in a coma right now" Fen grumbled.

Seth raised an eyebrow. "Dude…you know your mother can phase right?"

"No! that's…unlikely…sure she looks younger than she looks, but…I would have noticed something…" he muttered before he growled to himself thinking about it longer. "Look! She never transformed around me!" he raised his voice hunching over the table while clutching his head like he was about to have a migraine. "Ugh! Why does that make so much sense now?"

"Maybe you just blocked it out"

Fen turned his head slightly with one eye poking out around his hand looking mildly annoyed with him psychoanalyzing him before he sighed. "Tch, whatever…" he muttered.

Once Tabitha arrived with the mountain of food, Fen lowered his mask. On her last trip back to the table, she stared at his nose. He looked at her oddly as she was about to reach out and touch it out of curiosity. "Can I…touch it?" she asked sweetly.

Fen pulled away from her hand snarling and slid his plate away, and Seth snickered. "Looks like a no! But why don't you ask him about his tail?" Seth joked.

Tabitha gasped then squealed. "Oh! You have a tail?"

There was a loud bonk that came from underneath the table that rattled everything on top. "Ow!" Seth exclaimed as he reached for his foot wincing while Fen glared at him annoyed bearing his teeth, which Seth laughed nervously. "She likes fluffy tails"

"Then have her grab yours!" He snapped at him.

"Yeesh! I was only joking! Aren't you glad she isn't freaking out?" Seth asked.

"She's freaking out, Seth! She's a furry" He grumbled, which Tabitha squirmed at blushed.

"What's a furry?" Seth asked. Charlie choked on a French fry, and Josh stared at him in disbelief.

Tabitha backed up against the wall as Fen pulled out his phone to look it up on his phone to show Seth, and he stared at the blank screen. "What the hell? What happened to the Data?"

"Didn't you know? That crazy storm yesterday knocked out the new 4G Cell tower…it was the only one around here. You can use the wifi if you want" Tabitha said timidly.

"Are you kidding me? The only one?" He muttered.

"I'll huff and I'll blow out your cell service!" Seth joked, which Fen did not find it funny causing him to retreat towards Tabitha. "Jez, I was only kidding…relax" he said.

Fen grabbed the steak with his hands and made sure Seth watched as he bit into it and jerked his neck making a loud audible rip come from the meat being torn off, and he did not chew gulping down the chunk. "Am I funny to you?" he asked.

"Fen! Stop being a freaking ass! Paul is in our pack, get over it!" Leah shouted at him telepathically.

Seth looked back at him and laughed. "Wow, she's really mad"

"Shut up, Seth!" Leah responded.

"What's a furry?" Seth asked.

"Duh…uh…um…Well, it's hard to explain" Leah said.

"Oh my god, is this what you guys talk about in your heads?" Rachel asked.

"No, Fen has corrupted my brother…It's fine though. I had a feeling that she was a furry after what happened last night" Leah went on.

"Come on what's a furry!?" Seth shouted. Fen finally pulled up a google search on his phone and showed Seth. "What the fuck!? That's a thing!?"

Fen laughed diabolically as he flipped through more images. "What's wrong Boo Boo Bear? Just wait 'til we get to the furry porn"

"No! Fen stop!" Seth yelled closing his eyes and shoving Fen's phone away while he was still laughing maniacally. "Come on…cut it out"

"Fen, really? This is stuff I would expect from someone in high school" Charlie muttered.

Fen backed off and returned to binging. Seth was quiet, but he did find the bickering between Leah and Fen to be funny. Although it was not over Rachel transforming, it was over his role of being Alpha. Fen did not feel it to be appropriate to have the likes of him being a leader, but she preferred him based of his experience with the supernatural. They ended up making a compromise, which they would form an alpha male and alpha female pair instead of having an Alpha and Beta.

Seth and Paul were very confused with the concept, but Rachel thought it made more sense as it was something that wolves naturally did. There was one question that was bugging the new pack though. Could Fen actually phase like the rest of them? He never gave them a straight answer. Was it what he called 100%? There was chatter going on amongst his pack mates, and Fen just ignored them. They had almost forgotten about Josh with all the other craziness that had been going on throughout the day.

Charlie brought Josh to his house where Sue, Old Quil, Ruth, Loup, and Wendy all had a discussion in private away from the other wolves. Sue was very shocked to see Josh in person, but Old Quil remained stoic and focused on Loup. Sue looked between them and clapped her hands together eager. "While we are waiting on Billy, how about we discuss living arrangements between my daughter and your son…then maybe we can talk about wedding arrangements?" she asked.

Wendy and Loup looked at her seemingly very eager about the topic. "Do you have someplace in mind already?" she asked sweetly.

"Oh yes, I have looked up quite a few properties. Maybe you could tell me what would suit his needs well" she said before she stated showing them pictures of various houses. They were very nice looking in the middle of the forest and out of the way according to the maps. Loup inspected the properties and maps with great scrutiny sifting through them.

"This one looks fine" he said picking a large brown house off Mora road near the river.

"$350,000!? For a 5 bedroom, 3 bath? Holy crap that's the same price as our house…and it's a 3 bedroom. What the hell?" Wendy muttered before she looked over at Sue and grinned. "I think it would make a perfect house for them" she said with great enthusiasm.

"Their pups will definitely flourish there" Loup added.

"I hope they have a lot of them…" Wendy said with wonder.

"Keh, Be careful what you wish for…" Loup muttered before he leaned into his hand with his elbow pressed into the table. "How long is it going to take him? I have better shit to do than wait around!" he complained.

"Really Loup…you're over a thousand years old, yet you act like you're six" Ruth scolded him.

"We have only a couple days to get this right. You can't tell me that you are comfortable with where we're at right now" He grumbled.

"Actually…I'm very pleased with how things have transpired. A little bit of surprises, but nothing really has affected us negatively…just yet" She said before she gave Loup a look like she knew he was up to something.

There was a knock on the door, which Charlie went to go answer the door presuming it to be Billy. Of course it was, and Rachel had accompanied him after driving him over. She stood against the counter as there were no place to sit, and Charlie was left standing with his arms crossed.

Billy looked around the table then at Ruth intensely. "Have they gotten much progress? Do you think any of them will be able to utilize any spirit warrior powers once the vampires appear?" he asked.

Ruth glanced over at Rachel and smiled. "Your daughter and Leah are the quickest learners, but…the only thing that they can be able to do is have some resistance to psychic powers. They have managed to break away from Jacob's mind meld. I wanted Rachel to be able to master her shapeshifting powers before we continue with the spirit warrior training" she said.

"I have asked Taha Aki to visit them in their dream and teach them what he thinks could be done quickly. He doesn't think we'll have enough time to give them offensive abilities, but he agrees that we can at least make them cause confusion and frustration" Ruth finished.

Billy took a deep breath and glanced over at Rachel noticing her dismay and heavy heart. "I guess I was hoping that there would be a miracle. You mean no one has been picking things up quickly?" he wondered.

"I'm sorry…even the fastest learner won't have enough time to be very effective. Like I said, I'd rather she adapt to being a wolf" Ruth told him.

Loup smirked. "Smart decision…she's better on the battlefield then on the sidelines" he said which Billy was sent spiraling into a depression. Rachel was very quick to pick up on this, and she gave Loup an intense leer. The room went quiet with tensions building between the elders and Loup.

"I did not ask for your opinion, Loup" Ruth spoke harshly to him. She looked at the other elders and sighed a bit of frustration. "Don't mind him. I only brought him here because he knows what we're up against; otherwise, I would have left him home" she said.

Sue took a deep breath and sighed. "Right…" she said under her breath. She waved her hands together and looked at them all regathering her composure. "We have started getting the word out about a Tsunami evacuation drill. We have already contacted all of our family members who we think have the gene, and we will have another emergency meeting tomorrow

"Well that's good news at least…did you warn them what might happen to them if they encounter a cold one?" Old Quil asked.

Sue shook her head. "I haven't yet, but we will discuss this during the meeting" she said before she glanced over at Billy worried. "Are you okay?" she asked. Billy remained silent and stared down at the table in deep thought.

Loup had his arms crossed over his chest and leaned up against the wall. "Now, that this little thrall has shown up, I think we can utilize Fen's ability to transform at will and his ability to possess people" he said.

Billy, Josh, and Sue all looked at Loup horrified. "Possession!? What do you mean? Fen can…" Charlie muttered before Josh's hand started moving without his input and started touching Charlie's butt. "What are you doing!?"

"I'm not doing it!" Josh shouted pulling his hand back.

Wendy was slumped over with her eyes closed before she started laughing hysterically opening them back up. "That was me!" She shouted before she looked at Charlie curiously. "Strange though…your mind isn't easy to get into as Josh was" she said.

Loup glanced at Charlie intrigued before Sue asked, "Fen is able to transform werewolves against their will can't he?"

Wendy and Ruth both looked at each other. "Neither of us have seen him do it" Ruth stated. Loup crossed his arms over his chest having a good cackle. They both glared at him, which he stopped abruptly before he snickered lowly.

"Who do you think spread the rumor about the Fen coming over here? Heheh, there will be more…I hope we'll have enough capable spirit warriors to tame them all" Loup said.

Ruth glared at him. "Are you playing around with us!? That's extremely dangerous luring werewolves here before a full moon! We're here to protect the village not destroy it!" She shouted at him.

Loup's nose curled and snarled. "You fail to see the bigger picture. This isn't about the tribe anymore…this is about reestablishing balance to the supernatural world. The Volturi have grown too big…this is our chance to strike while they got their guard down. There won't be a second chance…hmph, you're evacuating the village already. You know it's inevitable" he said sternly.

"Stop trying to poke holes in my arguments! You are a guest not an elder" Ruth said.

"I older than all of you combined. The only reason why I'm not an elder is because I'm not the right skin color'' He stated.

"Loup! That's enough!" Ruth raised her voice.

Wendy frowned and looked down at the table. "But…shouldn't you all be weak after the full moon?"

"Tch, sore, not weak!" He huffed before he glanced over at Sue and Billy. "I don't expect that many werewolves to show up…My son has built himself quite the reputation as of late. He has quite a few kills under his belt…he won't hesitate to kill his own kind if he sees fit" he said before Josh gulped.

"Damn it Loup! I would have liked you to run things through with me before you go and do something like that!" Ruth raised her voice.

Loup shook his head. "We're going to need more than just Fen…they are the most feared coven of vampires. If what those two cowards say is true, where going to need more muscle" he said before Sue interrupted.

"Does Fen know about this?" she asked concerned for her son-in-law.

"Hmph, he'll figure it out" Loup muttered.

"You know that when we possess someone can feel what they feel right? Are you really going to make Fen force them to transform?" Wendy asked meekly.

"Really? Well I guess that's why he pusses out and only makes them go 10% or 20% or whatever his scaling goes. When I do it I go all the way! If I could do it myself I wouldn't have him do it now would I?" Loup growled pointing towards himself.

Sue was rather mortified with his response before Loup went on a rant. "That pup is too inexperienced to endure pain…or maybe I shouldn't have let him be coddled too much and become soft like his mother"

Wendy looked at him coldly. "Maybe you don't know your own son. He doesn't nap around all day like you do. It must be good having an easy life having him do all your dealings or whatever you used to do" she retorted.

"I wish I could sleep all day …I do all my dealings at night. You know maybe if Tami would let me turn her then maybe Fen wouldn't be working at the Meat Grinder paying for her medical bills. They are costing us an arm and a leg to keep her plugged in. At least he wasn't afraid to embrace the power of the wolf" He said before Billy interrupted their argument.

"Rachel I forgot my phone in the car, can you go get it for me?" He asked.

Without paying any mind to it, Rachel went outside to help find his phone. Once she was outside Billy looked towards Loup asking, "How difficult is it for one to control this werewolf power?"

Loup glanced over at him then at Josh. "It takes strong will and determination, but it's not difficult once you understand how a wolf behaves" he said.

Sue glanced over at Billy concerned. "You aren't going to be bitten are you?" she asked.

Billy sighed heavily and closed his eyes. "Don't speak of this to Jacob or anyone else, but…I'm not going to sit this one out" he said before clenched a fist. "When will I be able to move my legs again?" he asked.

"I don't know…the transformation takes days…sometimes weeks. It's hard to say when you can walk again" Loup said before he watched Billy stick his arm out.

"Billy…you don't have to do this…" Sue raised her voice panicked. Josh was in disbelief while Ruth and Wendy remained quiet with solemn expressions.

"When our descendants speak of this battle…I want to be remembered by standing beside my son and daughter ready to fight not sitting in this chair being their hostage" Billy spoke harshly.

"Billy…" Josh muttered

Loup had already pulled out a leather wrap and unrolled it containing three syringes filled with a milky substance. "This contains the lycanthropy virus" he said as he handed Billy one of the syringes.

"Virus? You mean you don't have venom?" Billy asked looking at the substance.

"Tch, no…and it's exactly why it will be stupid for a vampire to bite one of us. Unlike them, the virus isn't only in our saliva…it's in our blood…you can only imagine what would happen if the virus comes into contact with the undigested human blood in their gut. What little bit of virus multiplies like rabbits and will overwhelm a vampires ability to regenerate as they struggle to fight off the infection…by the time they start vomiting it's already too late" Loup said watching Billy plunge the needle into his arm. "Don't expect anything drastic to happen at first" he mentioned as Billy looked into his arm in disappointment.

Rachel came back inside empty handed. "Dad, I couldn't find it!" she called out to him.

"Don't worry, I found it" he said holding up his phone.

Sue studied Billy and his reaction with the virus. "What are the symptoms of lycanthropy? Like after being bitten but before the whole turning into a werewolf thing"

Loup stared at her and stroked his stubble after he realized what she meant. "Well, it feels like you had been punched repeatedly wherever the exposure sight is. The soreness spreads and become flu like. You might find it similar to the wolves around here. The only difference is that our hair and nails start growing faster, and we start to develop a hunger for raw meat. The urge to hunt grows strongest during the full moon…its why most transform during them"

"Most? You mean there are some who don't transform one a full moon?" Sue asked curiously.

"With my experience with dealing with the supernatural, I've found that there's always going to be an exception to the rule. Fortunately for us, Hollywood has feed the masses a bunch of misinformation about us. Even those mannequins have bought into it. An experienced werewolf can elect to remain in human form despite their instincts telling them otherwise. Yours truly has had this ability for 950 years or so. It's a real nifty skill to have if you want to blend in a large city and throw off any hunters who are on your tail. I taught Fen everything I know about mastering his skills" Loup muttered.

He sighed heavily and shook his head. "That boy is always trying to find shortcuts…sadly this time what he has done left him maimed" he stated.

Josh left out a sigh of relief. "You mean you know how to find a way to control yourself?"

"Psh, I did not say that…I said that I can transform at will. I knew the costs of trying to pursue controlling myself in a transformed state" Loup backtracked.

"Do you know how to change back into a human at least?" Josh asked.

"Really? What kind of stupid question is that? How can you change back at will if you lose control to begin with. You just got to grin and bear it until you allow all those instincts to flow out. You can't just put the cap back on a soda after you've shook it up and expect there to not be a mess" Loup scoffed.

"Hmph, maybe our son is a not as soft as you think he is. At least he can control his transformed state. Talk about making sacrifices. Everyone is lucky that I have the strength to hold you in check on the full moons" Wendy muttered under her breath.

"You mean I have to end up looking like a freak of nature if I wanted to control the wolf!?" Josh shouted.

Loup gave him an apathetic look with his arms crossed over his chest. "We all have to make sacrifices" he grumbled. Billy sat in his chair annoyed with himself feeling as if he had been tricked. Rachel scanned the room noticing that there was even more tension in the room than before. "What happened when I was outside?" she whispered to Billy.

"Don't worry about it!" He whispered back.
