Chapter 45: Alliance Offer

After everything that had happened, the pack met up with the Lords of Salem and it seems as if they have made a pretty good team, but only for a short while. Yet the fact that Casper would be a part of something like this totally surprised the whole pack, but most importantly Koa and Aaron because they never expected him to be in assistance with them. Aaron was both grateful and shocked at the same time and he said, "Dude...thanks for helping us. We really appreciate it, but how the heck did you become a part of the Lords of Salem, let alone be the leader of them?"

Casper sighed at that question and knew that this was something that the pack would know about eventually and he looks at Aaron in the eye and replied, "Well...let's just say it was a crazy decision to start it up. It was one day when I saw some dumb-jerkface of a father causing serious harm to his son and even touching him in places he did not want to be touched, I felt like this kid should not have to live through this. And that his father should be sent away, so I snuck into his house one night, punched him in the face, thrashed him around and snapped his neck until he blacked out and left him for dead. It was after I killed the kid's abusive father that I have a purpose and I actually enjoyed killing...so I thought about creating a group of people who feel the same way, but for the right reasons to defend the abused and voiceless...so the Lords of Salem were born."

After hearing that explanation, the pack were pleasantly surprised by all of this and Mana said, "You guys kicked insane butt today."

"And then some." Pyro replied.

"Guys, this is Pyro, Pumpking, Sonic, Beel and Absolom. These guys wanted to be a part of it and they needed someone to show them the way and to lead and guide them through...so I take everything I learned from the pack and formed my own group." Casper replied.

After witnessing what they have done to Griffin and his goons, Mana began to think of a completely radical idea that would throw most of the pack completely off-guard, but all thinking the same exact thing...

"We want you to form an alliance with us...in case something like this happens again. What do you say?" Mana asked.

That was a completely stirring question that no one expected to hear, not even the Lords of Salem and that surprised them more than anything. Casper asked, "You want us to form an alliance with you?"

"Yeah. If you say yes, you guys can protect the camp." Mana replied.

"And if we say no?" asked Pyro.

"Mass destruction." Mana answered.

"Hmm...that sounds kinda crazy, but very much interesting. Can we discuss this tonight...in your cabins?" asked Casper.

"You're sticking around?" asked Jojo.

"You could say that." Casper replied.

"What we will tell you is that we would be more than willing to do anything for you guys." Pyro replied.

Later that evening

Most of the pack members came together and met up with the Lords of Salem and as they discussed the offer over while sitting on the picnic table and they had both concerns and good things to say during dinner as they talk about their alliance together. After several minutes, the Lords of Salem huddled together as the pack anxiously await their answer.

"I hope we make a good team together." Jojo said, muttering under his breath.

The Lords of Salem kept discussing while huddled up and Aaron blinked his eyes for a second while Ryan bites his fingernails to soothe the nerves a little bit. After a couple of seconds, the Lords of Salem came together and Casper said, "We made a discussion together and we've made the decision."

Now it's getting real...the moment that the pack has been anxiously waiting for.

Casper looks at them and with a smile, he said, "We would love to be in alliance with you guys."

All of them were cheering and it just simplifies that the pack has a huge extension between them and the Lords of Salem and that made their night amazing. Pyro looks at one of the pack members and has got the most massive crush on him on the first glimpse and he said, "Hey, what's your name?"

"I'm Hawk."

"Have you ever skinny dipped before?" asked Pyro.

"Once." Hawk replied.

"Let's do it! We're celebrating!" Pyro exclaimed, taking off his armor and clothes.

Hawk followed him as he took his clothes off and threw them on the ground as they took a dip in the river as the rest of the pack and Lords of Salem watched from a distance and Casper said, "Pyro's got a guy crush."

"And so does Hawk." Mana replied.
