comfy as possible. We drove in silence for about thirty minutes. Everyone was engrossed in their own thoughts wondering what to expect on this mission and hoping for success. The radio was playing low for background sound, which I appreciated. I sat staring out the side window as I daydreamed and tossed a few things around in my head.
I had never met a werewolf face to face before today, or not that I was aware of at the time if and when I had. After all, my parents and I had been down to Daniel's resort back in October and I must have come into contact with werewolves then. I just didn't know it. They had blended in perfectly with humans. I didn't recall anything out of the ordinary during that trip. Daniel had not introduced himself to us, either, although he was definitely out and about in the area at that time. According to the time line laid out by Eli and Dom, Daniel was probably dealing with trouble that Stephen had gotten himself in to. And, like Dom had told me, werewolves have heightened senses and that would include the sixth sense of perception and intuition. Without realizing it at the time, I had picked up on emotional turmoil and aggression Daniel was actively pumping out. This had continued to strengthen the mental connection between us. How interesting. How very disturbing.
I asked, "How many werewolves are down there?"
Eli responded, "There are approximately fourteen from what I last remember. Daniel has nine in his pack. They all live at one of the three resorts or near the campgrounds he owns. Stephen's pack has about five. We're not completely sure that all the wolves in Stephen's pack have turned bad, though."
"Well, what made the pack split up?" I prompted. I knew I should have asked these questions over the last two weeks. The team had filled me in a little with basic information but now I wanted some serious details.
Eli continued, "We know there were disagreements between Daniel and Stephen over living arrangements and day to day responsibilities at the resorts. They also argued greatly over what was considered acceptable werewolf behavior to avoid exposing themselves to the public. It is of the utmost importance that they not bring undue attention to themselves. They absolutely must be a normal part of society. They simply cannot go around acting like primeval beasts, threatening or killing humans."
"So, needless to say," Dom chimed in at this point while Eli caught his breath, "Stephen did not want to listen to Daniel chastising him anymore. Stephen got a few others wound up and got them thinking they wanted to break away from Daniel, too. Without much notice, five took off about a year ago and lived in a dilapidated cabin out in the middle of nowhere for about a month. Then one of them, named Simon, bought a wood-working business and most of them work in it now. Simon does have good business sense. Stephen takes off a lot and just doesn't follow anyone's rules. He is considered the Alpha male in that pack now, although Simon owns and runs the business. You would think Simon would be the Alpha male, but because of Stephen's major macho attitude and aggression, he's the leader."
I kept going, "I don't believe anyone has mentioned female werewolves in this pack, are there any?"
"Oh, definitely!" Eli took his turn explaining this time. "I guess we tend to get so caught up referring to the men, the male werewolves, and haven't talked about the females. Let me think for a second…there are three females with Daniel's pack and two with Stephen's pack."
I jumped in with a faint memory of something Daniel had told me during our dream telepathy, "Daniel said he had a wife who was violently killed. That's all he said and left it at that."
"We don't know all the details," Eli went on, "and I'll probably let Daniel, if he chooses, fill you in on that one. What I do know is that her name was Mary and she was wrongly killed - hung by the neck as a matter of fact. This was very long ago and Daniel has
