Elementor: Yeah, he's now a Werewolf after he basically tricked Lincoln.
Phoenix Warehouse Productions: Heh, yeah, I'm sure Clyde is getting an earful without Luna, Luan and Lincoln getting involved.
DreadedCandiru2: No, they're not, not in the slightest.
d. felipe76: Phoenix and I have been talking and what we have planned for Clyde is…well it's appropriate for him in a future installment.
Grey: Alright. You think so, huh? Well, I'm not saying you're right and I'm not saying you're wrong. What I am saying is keep reading to find out.
Enjoy the next chapter.
Luna, Luan and Lincoln sat in the living room, watching as their mother, Leni, Lucy and Lana scolded Clyde. Clyde looked at the three and nervously chuckled, "Lincoln, buddy, you're the Alpha of here…can't you tell them to lay off?"
"Clyde, what you did last night wasn't just foolish, but dangerous. You're lucky you're not dead," Lincoln sighed and shook his head, "You saw Luna and Luan were frightened, you heard Lana last night when she said they were confused and frightened and that I was trying to comfort them, I told you that Luna and Luan are my mates and I don't think you need to be a rocket scientist to understand what that means."
"Yeah, but-"
"Clyde…go home. Spend tonight locked your room, and we'll talk more about this later," Lincoln growled and narrowed his eyes, "Like I said, you're lucky you're still alive. I was well within my rights to kill you last night, but I let you off easy and turned you. All I can say is welcome to the pack and go home. We'll talk more about this later," Clyde took a deep breath and nodded, "Now, go home, spend the night locked in your room…I can't help you outside of that. Sorry, but in my mind, Luna and Luan will always come first until we have pups of our own, and then Leni, Lola, Lana and Lily and then whoever after that." Clyde inhaled slowly, stood up and walked towards the door.
Watching the door close, everyone looked at the three and Lana arched a brow, "Wow Lincoln, you're taking all of this…well?"
"Yeah, but what do you want me to do? Like I said, Clyde is lucky he's alive," Lincoln stood up and walked towards the door and Luna and Luan followed him.
The three walked down the street before stopping in front of the retirement home. Luna and Luan looked at Lincoln and Luna shook her head, "Dude…you can't be serious. Pop-pop's old, he won't understand any of this and-"
"He's still our grandfather, Luna, and what's going to happen if he decides to come by for a visit during the full moon and we change? I think it might be a bit late then,"
"And what's stopping us from getting in trouble?" Luan asked, "We can't change willingly like you can, at least not yet and the venom…what if someone goes after Silver and the venom in me and Luna starts to act up and we attack whoever's trying to hurt you?"
"That's why we're going to show pop-pop in his room. Silver won't get out, you two will be able to keep me calm, no one will go after you guys…what do we have to lose? Besides, we haven't seen pop-pop since Memorial Day." Luna and Luan took a deep breath before they hesitantly nodded and the three of them walked towards the building.
The three teenagers stood in their grandfather's room while their grandfather sat on the chair across from them. Albert looked up and smiled, "So, what do I owe this nice visit? And where are the rest of my grandkids?"
"They're home, pop-pop…we actually need to talk to you," Luan said before lightly shoving Lincoln forward, "Isn't that right, Lincoln?"
Lincoln looked back before sighed, "What? Is something wrong with my lookalike? People picking on you for having snow on the roof there, Lincoln?"
Lincoln looked at his grandfather and took a deep breath, "No, pop-pop, but…a few months ago, I was attacked by a vicious wolf," Albert hummed and arched a brow, "And we later found out that it wasn't an ordinary wolf, but…okay pop-pop, what you're about to see may surprise you, but you're not in any danger," Lincoln took a deep breath and closed his eyes as his body twisted in pain.
Albert looked as the white-furred canine took the place of his grandson in awe. The wolf shook its head and lowly growled as Luna and Luan scratched Lincoln behind the ears, "It's okay, Linc, we know it's a pain,"
The two continued to comfort Lincoln when Albert howled with laughter. Luna and Luan looked up in confusion as the wolf's body twisted with pain before Lincoln stood in place of the canine, "Not exactly the reaction I was expecting,"
"Ah, my grandson is a Werewolf…I was worried you were going to tell me you had rabies or something," Albert chuckled and the three looked at him in disbelief, "Kids, you don't have to play dumb. I fought alongside a Werewolf back in Vietnam. My best friend Tommy Michaels, bastard saved my life more times than I care to count."
"What?" the three quietly hissed in unison, "Pop-pop…you knew a Werewolf?"
"Yup, of course, I didn't know it at the time, I just thought he was more physically fir than I was until one day I was ambushed."
"And…and what happened?" Luna asked in confusion.
"I thought I was a goner, the enemy slowly closing in on my when this ungodly howl filled the air and a black wolf ran out from behind the bushes. The enemy turned their guns on the creature and started firing, but the wolf was too fast. I watched as the wolf jumped the enemy, scratching at their chests and biting down on their necks."
Albert paused for a second before taking a deep breath, "All around me was a giant bloodbath, the blood-soaked canine looked up at me flashing eyes and began to approach me. I quickly reached for my gun when I heard the familiar laugh of my friend. I looked up and saw him standing there in place of the wolf.
I said to him 'Tommy? What the hell is going on, you son of a gun?' he looked to me and said 'Albert, I have a secret that no one in our unit, or any other unit knows about. But you are my best friend and you were in trouble, so I had to make my secret known.' He looked me dead in the eyes and said to me that he was a Werewolf."
The three stared at the elderly man with wide eyes, "So…do you still talk to your friend or did he move away and-"
"He died a few days before we were to return to the states," Albert sighed and frowned, "He died saving my life. I was injured and he and another member of our unit were carrying me back to camp. He looked up quickly, if I had to guess, he had the senses of a-"
"A wild wolf…I can vouge for that…senses do get stronger,"
"And he told the other unit member to carry me back to camp, that there were enemies following us. Our friend tried to argue with him, but Tommy…Tommy was bullheaded. He turned and began running back towards enemy lines. We both called to him to calm back, but he kept running."
Albert frowned and Luan arched a brow, "So…they just…shot him until he fell and-"
"No…they trapped him in a silver mine…I don't know how, but those bastards had learned of his secret and decided to kill him with silver." The three teenagers frowned and Albert sighed, "But…that was the way he lived, always putting himself in danger…and I can proudly say he took four others down with him."
"We…we're sorry to hear about your friend, pop-pop…but uh…there's something else we need to tell you." Albert looked up and Lincoln sighed and rubbed the back of his head, "I…I recently turned Luna and Luan…and…the reason for that is…they're my mates," the room fell silent while the three teenagers looked away from their grandfather.
The three looked up a moment later when they heard Albert chuckling. The chuckling soon turned into a laughing fit and the three looked at each other in confusion. Albert soon stopped laughing and looked at the three, "Heh, my grandson is courting not one, but two lovely young women. That's how a true sailor does it,"
"Pop-pop, I'm not a sailor, I'm a teenage Werewolf, whose…basically married to two of his sisters and-"
"Technicalities, they mean nothing, Lincoln," Albert stood up and walked over to the three and patted Lincoln on the top of his head and hugged Luna and Luan, "Heh, here I was hoping to enjoy a nice visit from three of my grandkids, and they go and tell me some secrets. Where does the family stand on this?"
"Well, dad, Lori, Lynn and Lisa don't like the idea, Lynn practically bullied Lincoln with a dog whistle last week. Mom, Leni, Lucy, Lola, Lana and we want to say Lily is on the idea of all of this…well…mom said it's going to take some time to get used to us, but she's not going to stop it." Luna answered.
Albert hummed and rubbed his chin, "Hmm…your father probably doesn't like the idea simply because your brother is stepping up, taking charge and your father feels like he's the head of the house. Your sisters…Lori is similar to your father, she's the oldest and thinks that she is in charge when your parents are away, Lynn…well…I'm not too sure about her issue, but Lisa…she's an intelligent girl, every rhyme has to have a reason when it comes to her. Learning that her only brother is a Werewolf and two of their sisters are his mates seems illogical to her,"
The three sighed and Albert slightly smiled, "But hey, let's not worry about that now. You kids came all this way to visit me, even if it was just to tell me your little secret, how about we go out and enjoy ourselves. Go to the docks, maybe we can go to the carnival,"
The thre laughed and Luan shook her head, "Pop-pop, you're like an overgrown kid…I love it. Let's go," Albert chuckled and nodded and the four of them turned and walked towards the door and walked out of the room.
Okay, so pop-pop knows about their secret, and he's cool about it. As always enjoy everyone and please let me know what you all think.
