apartment.
    Closing the door behind them, Lena waved before she came around to sit next to Charlotte exchanging one armed hugs between them. The two had become as close as sisters after the unfortunate circumstances that brought them all together. When Geni had told him of Lena’s disappearance which was in fact a kidnapping by one of the werewolves in their pack, their paths had all become destined to intertwine.
    Nick had used his detective skills and reporter contacts to find where she had been held. While held in a cell in the basement of the pack’s house, they had tried to turn her into a werewolf and even let a vampire bite her in a strange turn of events. Little did they know that Lena was a budding voran as well. Resistant to vampire and werewolf bites, the girl was tormented until after her new powers destroyed the vampire. Then it was up to Charlotte and some of the other female wolves to try and convince Lena that they were just keeping her locked up to prevent her turning into a werewolf and killing anyone close to her.
    When it was discovered that Lena wouldn’t turn even under a full moon; Charlotte, with her brother’s support, had protected the girl from harm until Nick could safely take her away from the wolves. He had come back giving them asylum after their pack leader turned them away, which was where they were now and the only one in the room that didn’t know any of it was Geni.
    “Morning, Logan,” Geni greeted flirting slightly as Nick had noticed that she had a bit of a crush on his guest. Receiving a mere flick of his hand as a wave to say hello, the big man appeared slightly shy with the girl. It was barely noticed as the girl turned to Charlotte and added with a little gasp, “Oh my god, I love that top, Charlotte.”
    The werewolf was a couple years older than the two college girls, but knew how to dress and had the figure to wear anything she wanted. “Thanks. My brother didn’t want me just walking around in a t-shirt, so I thought that I would dress for the day.”
    Lena nodded and agreed, “It’s beautiful already.”
    Both of the girls were wearing shorts and short sleeved shirts, an unusual sight as mere days before it had been cold and a week or so earlier there had even been snow on the ground. As the conversation turned towards fashion, Logan stood up taking his dishes to the kitchen. The movement was noticed, but the girls ignored the quiet man as they continued to talk like the school girls most of them were.
    “Is it alright if I borrow the Escape, Nick?” asked the man as he brushed back his blond hair with his hand a bit nervously.
    Nodding, Nick said aloud, “Sure, the keys are in the dish.”
    The voran wanted to ask him where he was going, but he didn’t want the others to always know his business; so he didn’t feel right about intruding on the others’ personal lives either. Charlotte, as his sister, didn’t have that problem and questioned, “Where do you have to go? You haven’t taken Nick up on the offer of trying to get you back into a hospital have you?”
    The talk of the big man being a doctor seemed to arouse Geni’s interest even more, but his words were a bit evasive, “No, I just have someone I need to meet this morning.”
    At least once a week Logan had asked for the same privilege. He asked for little else aside from needing the place to stay. If he could avoid the questions and attention of police, Nick didn’t doubt that the man would return to some form of medical profession. The voran had already checked into possibly finding some way of letting Logan rejoin the profession he had been following before the incident turned him into a werewolf, but there were still questions surrounding his parents’ deaths. Even with Charlotte obscuring the truth with her attesting that a rabid dog or wolf had snuck into their home through an open door to kill them and attack her; police seemed unable to believe such a thing would have happened despite
