Well, someone wondered what the second chapter of this would look like. So I'll try my best not to make it sound like crap…

-----

When the pack pushed their way into Esmé's house, the place was packed to the brim. Gabriel and Vivian hadn't yet been able to find their own place, due to the lack of money in the family, but Esmé had welcomed them to stay with opened arms. Sophie and Mourise sat and waited expectantly, a meeting had just now been called to order. Vivian sat crossed legged beside her, and Mourise sat with the Five.

"My pack! Vivian and I have been contemplating a move…to a more…fitting area to raise pups, for all the pack. We must work for our living, taxes have been rising, and we're running out of places to work." Gabriel announced, as he walked to the fireplace. Sophie looked down in despair, what if the pack wanted to move away? She was born here, and she loved it here.

Mourise stood up from the arm of the loveseat. "What happens if someone becomes suspicious of so many people moving at one time? After what happened with the human and Vivian, and years ago with Axel and the others? What'll happen if they find out, and then we have to really run for our lives?"

Gabriel's expression changed, and he walked over to the door, beckoning Mourise to follow him. He went willingly, sliding out the threshold with the leader. Sophie had never known Mourise to stand up and speak out, he was much to shy, but he was right, he had probably thought about what he was going to say.

Gabriel and Mourise walked back in, and both of their faces were unreadable.

"I've decided, it's best to stay here for now, and probably move in shifts. Mates at a time, but we won't come to the final decision until the entire pack agrees." Gabriel then walked into the kitchen, followed by Mourise. What did Gabriel want with Mourise now?

Sophie tried to follow them, but Vivian held her back, putting an arm across her chest. The pink haired werewolf, tried to convince her to let her go, but Vivian wouldn't be fooled. She followed what her mate said, and his word was law.

Ulf wiggled uncomfortably in the chair, itching to get up and run. He did so, and the other Five followed him to the door, carefully excusing themselves from the meeting. Mourise and Gabriel then walked out of the kitchen, and Sophie saw Gabriel, pat him on the back. Her eyes widened. Was Gabriel actually accepting Mourise as one of the pack, and actually letting him in on the decisions?

Sophie ran over to Mourise, and the two excused themselves also. They headed out to Tooley's, where Esmé still worked to this day. Short pink hair waved behind her in the wind, as she rested her head on Mourise's shoulder, snuggling deeper into her hoodie, she tried to keep warm in the fall breeze.

"Mourise?" Sophie whispered, burring her face in the side of his chest. He glanced over at her.

"What? If it's about Gabriel, he just thinks I would be a good help for the pack, I mean…you know, financially,"

Sophie stopped walking and looked up. "What do you mean…financially?"

Mourise just shook his head. "Never mind hun…"

And with that, they moved their way into Tooley's parking lot.
