"I know, we called them the deadly duo, Michael and Dianne weren't only the strongest Black clan werewolves since Jasper, but they were our only Tuyuks, who would be able to kill them right? They were so strict inside their own clan that no other wolf with the Black name were allowed to rank to Dire. Even if one managed to rank up legally, he would be killed, if one gets born a dire, he would be killed, Michael had no remorse, he understood the history of the Black clan the best, and with all his might he prevented history from repeating itself, that mindless, rampaging out and killed every living thing in their path, human and werewolf alike, and even turning on each other, all in the pursuit for power. So to prevent that from happening again, he kept his pack numbers low, killed all dire werewolves, and if one so much as committed a crime, even if it wasn't wolf related, he was ended"

Luna knew the story, she just never heard it from a Black clan member's mouth before.

"Then, who killed them?"

"Derrick saw it happen, a monster, he described it, long fangs and hissed like a cat. According to him there were two, one killed his parents, the other came and viciously attacked the cat that killed the two wolves. After a few minuites the killer was badly wounded and fled, the one who came to aid Derrick's parents stood phanting there for a while, then left. The poor guy said the one who killed his parents had silver eyes, the one who helped had red ones, both had slender figures, female figures"

"Wha... Female sabers!?"

"It seemed so, but just like the sabers keep us a secret, we protect them aswell, so i told him it sounds like a nightmare" Elsje said.

"What the h.e.l.l happened these past seventeen years!?" Luna asked herself out loud.

"There's one last thing you should know about Derrick" Elsje said "Since his wolf side appeared at the age of five, some of its effects remained long after. The doctors call it EAPS, short for excessive adrenaline production syndrome. Everytime Derrick gets angry he boils over, its basically him becoming a wolf, without becoming one physically, he gains a huge amount of strength and speed, but it's dangerous to his health, he ended up in a coma twice after having an outburst, and everytime it happened, he killed someone at his school. Michael and his wife had to move him to a different school every time, and the one he is at now, were gracious enough to be lenient towards him. He didn't have an outbreak there so far, but if he kills again, he will go to jail after school, he's currently under house arrest"

Luna sat dumbstruck, this boy and his parents had a very dark past, it almost made her smile to know hes atleast kind around her and her daughters, imagine he had to get angry at Kara because of her stumpy att.i.tude towards him? Luna knew she had to tell Kara to stop her s.h.i.+t, she didn't want Derrick to get angry at her.

"And there you have it" Derrick said showing them the last block of cla.s.ses "The tennis court's are there, and the rugby fields down there"

"This school is rather big" Sasha said.

"I know, come, let me introduce you to Chane" Derrick walked but suddenly turned in another direction, it was too late.

"Hey f.u.c.kface!" They heard someone call, Kara and Sasha saw the brown haired man approach them.

"Who's this f.u.c.king dweeb?" Kara asked.

"The sum of all my troubles" Derrick said taking out a pill box and swallowing a tablet.

"What do we have here? d.u.c.h.ebag Derrick got him some stragglers"

"Hey! Layoff them Jason! They enrolled today"

"Oh did they?" He came up to them, Sasha noticed he was a werewolf, but didn't know of what clan, she never met a brown wolf before.

"You two are very s.e.xy, why not come hang out with me instead?" Jason asked, noticing the two were she wolves aswell.

"Go f.u.c.k a goat a.s.shole!" Kara hissed making Jason lose his confident smile, Derrick gave a quick chuckle, which seemed to have p.i.s.sed Jason off further.

"You disrespectful b.i.t.c.h! Do you even know where you are? You're in my world now, i suggest you learn your place" he leered at Kara then at Derrick "I'll see you later" He said and walked off.

"What a f.u.c.king f.a.ggot!" Kara yelled.

"Kara let it go, we don't want a fight on our first day at school" Sasha said. Although Kara was a werewolf, in her unawakened state she couldn't sense ranks, Sasha could since she was already awakened, and this Jason, was very high ranked for his age.

"Dont let him het to you ok guys" Derrick said walking on "He might seem strong, but i beat his a.s.s into a hospital once, so he'll keep his distance if you don't provoke him"

Sasha's eyes grew, Derrick beat him?

"Hey! Derrick!" They heard someone call him, a guy with dark blond hair shook Derricks hand.

"You two, this is Chane, and..." Derrick saw Cate and Sylvester kissing behind a cla.s.sroom.

"Ooh that looks nice" Sasha said making them part shyly.

"Get a room you two" Derrick said.

"I couldnt wait, sorry" Sylvester laughed coming over, Sasha felt odd vibes from these three, something she couldn't place her finger on.

"Jeez Derrick we told you to get a girlfriend, not two you know?" Cate said.

"Oh come on Cate! They're just friends, they enrolled today"

"Pleased to meet you two, so? Who of you two has their sights on Derrick?"

"Cate!" Derrick tried to stop her but Kara interrupted him.

"What makes you think we want him as a boyfriend?"

"Oh come on? You want me to point it out?"

"Theres no need to tell me" Sasha said "But my little sister here could use a hint"

"Pff!" Kara stuck her tounge out.

"Ok ok, im not interested in a girl right now, friends, thats it ok? Lets go, its ten to seven, i need to go give you two a school map" Derrick said waving at his friends.

"Would you look at that?" Cate said watching them leave.

"I can't beleive it worked" Chane replied. Cate took her cellphone out and dialed a number.

"Morning dad, you wont beleive who just came to school today? Almost hand in hand"

Luna followed the direction's to this Maxwell's offices, but instead it led her to a large house not far from Michael's house, she rang the entercom and the two huge steel gates opened slowly. She drove down the long cobblestone driveway and parked at designated parkings painted on the stones. Luna got out, staring in amazement at this beautiful sandstone coloured house, it's window frames a rust copper, giving it an old feeling. A tall thin man in a grey suit came out, he had brown neatly combed hair and a thin, Mexican style moustache, Luna stopped in her tracks, realising not only is he a werewolf, but a well aged Dire rank, he might even be close to going up to amarok.

"Miss Del Carchetore, what an Honor to finally meet the fabled amarok"

"Call me Luna" she smiled feeling his kindness and respect.

"Elsje phoned me to say you need work? And maybe even a place to stay for you and your girls?"

"Yes, thats the case"

He gave a warm smile and clasped his hands together "I can offer you both, if you'll be kind to accept?"

Luna returned his warm smile "Well aren't you the kindest man I've met here in Gauteng so far? What is your clan name?"

He held his hands up "Please forgive me, our clans never crossed paths i realise, Im a Browning, but of course whe have heard of you Miss, it was unavoidable unfortunately"

"No need to apologize, we have heard about you Brownings aswell" she said. Maxwell gestured for her to follow him.

"Now, what you heard of us, is how we backed out of the war in Angola after the very first clash?" He said semi embarra.s.sed.

"That was it yes, but truth be told Maxwell, you were the smart one of all of us, i mean, look at this house!"

"Thank you kindly, it is as you say, a move we made with our heads, we were not really compet.i.tion up there you know"

He entered leading her up a marble staircase, then into an office sweet. He sat down at the large polished oak table, and asked her to sit aswell.

"Make yourself comfortable"

Luna noticed he even had that cla.s.sic table lamp with the green plastic lampshade, his initials and surname on a sign, and a black telephone sat one side. The only thing that wasnt 'old' was the laptop lying closed in front of him, Luna felt like she was in a detective's office.

"Maxwell heavy industries work hand in hand with black alpha oil for more than ten years now" he started "They run the mines, the rigs and sales of oil in all its forms, and i supply the machinery to run the mines and the rigs. I have a private a.s.sistance job for you, not to say i need one, but being in partners.h.i.+p with Alpha oils, it's my honor to appoint you"

"So i will be a.s.sisting you?"

"Yes, some times, and other days it will be Nanette, one of my managers"

Luna wasn't keen on being the PA of any ranked wolf lower than hers, this salary better be worth it.

"Your starting salary will be Fourty grand, is that ok?"

Her face sank "Isn't that a bit too much?"

"Of course not, i checked up on your previous occupation, a graphics designer with a sixty grand salary, im still cutting short of that im afraid"

She smiled "Your offer is perfect, ill take it"

He gave that warm smile again "I know you're on top rank Luna, remember this is just business, im not trying to take your situation as an advantage and place you below me, i still fully respect your rank, but im giving you this job so you can look after your daughters"

Luna felt warm in her heart these Browning's were just m.u.f.fin buns, not built for a war, but generosity was a definite strong point"

"Now, about accommodation, unfortunately this is where our werewolf backround will in fact play a role"

She nodded "Im listening"

"This area is my territory, my pack strength is strong, i have over a hundred members"

"A hundred!"

"Yes, and only ten percent ranked under alpha, the rest is alpha and up"

Luna realised, her status as Amarok just went out the door, he might be lower ranked than her, but with a hundred member pack, he outranked her as a pack 'Alpha'

"Wow, im really impressed, you have my respect"

"Thank you dear, now since you need s.p.a.ce in my territory, i need a different sort of... I don't want to call it payment, more like a truce"

"A truce?"

"You are a beautiful woman, and i can only imagine your daughters are equally as stunning "

Luna knew where this was going.

"I have two son's, one named Jason, and the other Damien, both handsome boys, both smart, and will inherit all my wealth, i wish for your oldest to take the hand of one of them"

An organized wedding!? This guy was really old school. Luna thought it over, on one side she really had no choice, its either that, or nowhere to go accept back to Derrick, and after what Elsje said she didn't want to disrespect Michael's dieing wishes. She smiled ar Maxwell slightly.

"Im going to be honest, i dont like it, but, im not saying no. Sahsa is a very understanding girl, and has a very bubbly personality, hopefully one of your boys are a cheerful lad?"

"Of course they are! You will enjoy being around them, if you want to, im holding a mascaraed ball this coming Sat.u.r.day, you and your two daughters are most welcome to join?"

Luna gave the options a thought, marrying one of those two boys financially secures Sasha's future, the only thing was if she would like it or not?

"Very well, i accept all your offers Maxwell"

He smiled "Now, about that house" Maxwell opened a drawer and took out some papers.

"I just finished renovations on a house in Yellowfinch street, its a three bedroom, very quiet neighborhood, i think you'll enjoy it"

He handed her the photos, the house wasn't large, but it seemed homely.

"Thakyou Maxwell, what's the rent?"

"Well, of your proposal between my sons and your daughter goes through, its yours"

Luna felt a cramp in her gut, hes basically making currency out of her girls, but having a house free of payment, its a healthy step forward.

"Very well, lets see how it goes then?"

"Excellent, the house isn't furnished, i will send someone over today to go give it some furniture and decor, you can move in tomorrow"

Luna smiled again, all this blessings landing in her lap almost seemed too good to be true.

"And of course, you can start working tomorrow... There's just one last thing i need to adress, this one has no strings attached" he stood up and led her down the marble staircase again, but thistime they headed left, through a door that lead to a very sleek dining room, then another leading to a very large garage with many expensive cars standing around. He opened a box mounted to a wall containing alot of keys, he took one out and handed it to her.

"Its yours"

"But i have a car?"

"That old Mercedes out there? No no dear, when working for me, you drive the absolute best"

She looked at him funny "No strings attached?"

"None at all"

She turned to the many cars, from Lamborghini to Porche, Aston's... "Which one is it?"

"Press the b.u.t.ton on the remote" he said.

She touched it and in the far back a white saloon's hazards flickered, she walked over to it.

"A Bently!?"

"I think it fits you, graceful, elegant, and powerful, even it's color matches your hair"

"Im beginning to think im dreaming" Se said, not wanting to approach the car.

"Please my dear, this is a gift, between me and you, no other conditions and parties involved, take it as a sign of the respect I have for you as an amarok"

She looked at him then smiled "What about my merc?"

"Give me its keys, i will take care of it for you"

She handed them over and walked over to the new car.

"See you tomorrow at nine" he waved and headed back into the house.

Luna sat inside the car for a wile, all the luxury in it had her lost, se saw a b.u.t.ton that said 'start' and she pushed it, the vehicle's V8 roared to life, but then softened into an almost inaudible hum. Her heart raced, she never thought of ever owning a car like this, all the things Maxwell said ran through her head again, she closed her face in her hands, feeling sad

"Oh i hope i made the right choice"
