As my body walks leisurely toward Nancy's den, my mind runs various thoughts. Besides this being the first time giving a ride to another female, this is the first time I'm being nice to a competitor. The girl's eyes appear so innocent to this world that I can't help but remember familiar eyes from my past life. Did I have a sibling? Did I have a child? And so, despite my initial anger I also couldn't help but to lend her a hand. 

Yet at the same time I don't want to be involved. I'm still afraid that a feral would come and unleash his power on those closest to her. Undoubtedly, if Vick does get involved with her, he'll be the first to die. Yet, if it's me that has her scent then there could be a chance that a feral would overlook me since I'm also a female. There's too many maybe's to what her presence could imply.

Getting closer to their den, I begin to wonder if grandpa Liam has noticed the odd words coming from Sheila's mouth. Would they know that she's not from this world? Sigh, after stopping at his den I would have to notify our Clan Leaders. This, her, can either be a blessing to our tribe or become a force of incoming chaotic times. We would need to stop all gossip about her if our tribe is to survive. 

Lowering my body down, Sheila pats my back in thanks as she slides down. Nearly landing on her butt, she laughs nervously as she gives a goodbye to my males and Vick. Wondering why she was nervous, I glance behind me and see Radu staring angrily at the girl. We'll have to talk tonight. Before I could leave, grandpa Liam walked outside with his female Nancy. Nancy, being the oldest female of our tribe gives out a strong motherly vibe. With her kind dark brown eyes, she wrinkles the edges of her eyes as she gives us a welcoming smile. She then walks over to the girl and leads her to the inside of the den. 

After they walked inside, grandpa Liam nodded at us and said, "I need you all to follow me."

Walking into the woods, grandpa Liam dark gray eyes lifts his head toward the end of the village and then morphs into his gray thin yet fit looking bear beast. He hurriedly leads us to where I also wanted to go, the Bear Clan Leader's Place. Without needing to look back I knew that my males and Vick also morphed into their own beast in order to keep up with the hurried pace. Instead of going into the village, we ran around it through the surrounding woods. I'm guessing our meeting was meant to not be known yet to the tribe. As our heavy feet hits the ground, it's likely that the tribesmen would think that we're either training or scoping out the place for any unfamiliar scents. 

Arriving behind Leader Axel's place, we each individually morph back into our other self. While they morph, I decided to walk behind another tree in order to respect poor gramps eyes from my oh so flattering figure. As we got closer to the building, grandpa Liam stopped us from walking up the stairs. Instead he took us to a hidden entrance. The entrance appears like a normal stone wall with overgrown vines going down yet with a slight push from gramps, an area was shown where we could fit inside. Trying to look calm, my mind baffles at how important this may be to them. As we line up to go inside, Vick takes the lead to go first. When I finally enter behind Leo, I start to see why. It's filled with cobwebs. Which means that this route has hardly been used. Hearing a rustle of leaves, I glance behind me and see grandpa Liam taking several leaves and herbs to hide our footsteps and scents.

Gahh, are they planning on killing us?! No, noo, grandpa Liam is too nice for that! Starting to feel my heart beating faster, Radu who's behind me places a gentle hand on my shoulders and softly pushes me forward. We're a team, family. If he's not afraid, then I shouldn't be either.

 Coming across a similar wall at the end of the tunnel, Vick touches around till he feels a spot where he could move the wall easily. Hearing the heavy rock wall move, two pairs of glowing eyes stare at us from the dim room. 

Forgetting the world I live in, I really wanted to shriek and body slam the males behind me to move it! Thankfully my nose picked up their scent. 

"Healer Liam, why did you bring Suki and her males with you?" asks James, the Wolf Clan Leader.

Nodding lowly to the two beastmens, gramps responds, "Suki brought the female to my den... on her back." Pausing, he looked straight at the Clan Leaders eyes, "besides her willing to help another female, I observed that her eyes were calm and that the female had placed her trust in her."

"You're saying that our tribe female willingly let an unknown female ride her back?" growls James.

Was I not supposed to do that? Since I can't look up, my ears twitch to the sound of someone gripping their hands forcefully. Soon the light scent of blood fills the room. Glancing toward the place I widened my eyes at seeing that it was Radu. 

Ignoring the smell, grandpa Liam responds calmly, "yes." 

"What do you say female?" asks a deeper voice. 

Lifting my head I stare at the wall behind Leader Axel and respond, "I ugh, noticed that her ankle was hurting, and uh (I'm not going to say because I was also jealous!) didn't think it was right for her to ride on an unknown male." Not seeing them respond, I let out a quivering sigh as I stared directly at my Leaders' eyes, "she's different, she doesn't know the common things that a tribe and a family should have taught their cubs and... I scent no beast."

After a few seconds I couldn't help but make an audible gulp. Hearing my gulp, Vick comments, "Father, Leader James, what Suki says is true. Now that she has mentioned that female's scent, I cannot figure out what beast she could be."

Blinking in thought, Leader James of the Wolf Clan then asks, "what did you see Adan?"

Adan, who's a wolf beast, nods his swollen face at his Clan Leader and comments in a serious tone, "I saw the girl limping, and I also saw the girl laughing with my female. Their relationship is similar to how litters play with each other with the exception that my female was advising her about the rules of our tribe."

Adan! If your face wasn't swollen and we weren't in this frigid room, I'd bounce into your arms and give you a huge smooch on your bruised cheeks. 

Leader Axel and Leader James stare at me as I try to control my quivering legs. Hey! You would be shaking too if two three marked males look as if they were staring daggers at you! Finally after a few scary seconds, Leader Axel huffs and gives me a kind smile. 

"Good, you'll do."
