I knew when I saw Vepar slinking around town that something was up.  Dimitri and I had known that she and Asmoday were mates for years now.  We honestly didn’t care, so we kept our mouths shut; it wasn't any of our business.  Mates are important to our kind, so we weren’t going to ruin their happiness.  We often saw the two of them sneaking around to be together.  However, the way she was slinking around tonight raised our hackles.  We kept in the shadows and watched the shack she went into.  Not long after, we saw Penthesilea, Phlegyas, and some witch at the door.  As soon as I saw Penthesilea and Phlegyas, I knew they were planning something bad.  Those two alone were bad news.  We never did see Asmoday enter, but when we got closer, we could hear his voice.  We also heard another male voice, but we could only see Vepar, Asmoday, Penthesilea, and Phlegyas.  We listened as Vepar explained her plan.  I looked at Dimitri.  We stayed there through their entire meeting and left before they started leaving the shack.

“They have got to be out of their minds,” Dimitri says.

“I can’t believe that Shade was agreeing to this dumbass plan,”  I add.

We both knew Shade.  She was neither a good nor a bad witch.  She worked for or with whoever paid her the best.  This means that Vepar or Asmoday had to be paying her extremely well for her to go along with this.  When she told them this would be dangerous, I thought that her saying that would stop this crazy idea.  I really expected Shade to listen to whatever they were saying, but when the meeting was over, she would walk out and not entertain this disastrous idea.  They decided to go forward with it, and I knew that we had to either stop this plan or do something to ensure that this child they created would be unusable to them if they followed through.  I heard them mention something about making sure that the child would be a girl, and I knew which god they were targeting. 

“We have to tell Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades.  They need to know what is happening and who they are targeting.” I tell Dimitri.

“I know.  I say we go tomorrow and talk to them.”  He replies.

While none of the gods was happy that Athena and Aphrodite created a whole menagerie of animals, they actually liked our pack and us.  I think that we had sworn allegiance to them and promised to protect Aphrodite, who we called the moon goddess, which helped a lot. 

“If they think for one minute that we are going to let them harm our moon goddess they must be insane.”  Dimitri rants.

I have to agree with him.  Dimitri and I are her original creation.  We are the first werewolves.  Aphrodite calls us Lycans.  Our wolves are different from other werewolves.  We are also the most powerful bloodline of them.  Of course, now there are numerous werewolves and packs, but ours is the original, the largest, and the most powerful.  We are the Blue Diamond Pack and have roughly 3000 pack members.  There are five families that make up the pack.  Our family is the leading family; then there is the beta family, the Falconi family, then the gamma family, and the Garlindo family.  There are two families that are our strongest warrior families, the Navarro and the Palenesto families.  All of us have happily coexisted for 1000 years now.  Dimitri and I walk out and join the rest of the pack.  I look around and see all the pack members with mates.  Aphrodite granted us a thank-you for our allegiance to the gods.  We can sense the other half of our souls once we come of age at 18.  Neither Dimitri nor I have found our mates yet.  I know that both of us are anxiously waiting.

“Do not worry you two.  You will meet your mates soon.” She tells us.

“Good I was beginning to think you had forgotten about us,”  Dimitri says to her.

“I would never forget about you two.” She says.

We watch as she disappears, and no one is the wiser.  We are the only two that can see her.  I feel bad not telling her what we found out, but we need to talk to Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades first and see what they want us to do.  I am desperately trying to think of a plan to make theirs fail, but I just can’t think of a good one.  Maybe Dimitri can think of something.  We have till tomorrow to come up with something.  I hope that he doesn't pull some idiotic plan out of his ass.  While I love him, my brother has a tendency to pull ideas out of his ass without thinking about them first.  Sometimes the ideas are good, and other times they are terrible. 

“We have to think of an idea or ideas to stop this from happening,”  I tell him.

“I know.  God, this is a fucking nightmare.”  Dimitri says.

We sat there for a few hours, with neither of us able to come up with any valid ideas of how to stop this insane plan of Asmoday and Vepar’s.  I lean my head back against my chair and let out a sigh.  I know Dimitri is feeling the same way.  I know once we tell Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades what we know, they will make it almost impossible to get access to the gods.  However, Penthesilea and Phlegyas, in on the plan, it threw a wrench into our plans.  They have the access that the others need.  No one would think anything of it if they were up there walking around.  Fuck, I can feel a headache coming on.  I hear Dimitri let out a groan, and I can relate.  I have no idea how to prevent this from happening.
