When they finally got to apartment he set her down on her own two feet where she unlocked her door. Her movements were jerky and mechanical like her body was operating on auto-pilot and there was no one at the helm at the moment. Bear ushered her into the apartment, checking the hall to make sure that no one was watching them before closing and locking the door behind them. Shey just stood in her apartment, not moving her body seeming to be rooted in place. Bear's silent steps came behind her and placing a large hand on her shoulder he guided her into the livingroom where he sat her down on the couch. Without saying anything he began to remove her boots, his movements gentle and careful as he handled his alpha not wanting his actions to cause her anymore pain. Once her socks were removed he sat back for a moment before his hands moved up to undo the button on her jeans, Shey's eyes unmoving as she stared at a spot on the floor behind him. Taking extra special care he pulled at the bottom of her pants legs slowly tugging the blood stained jeans from her body, his eyes only lingering for the barest of moments at her smooth soft thighs. With the jeans off he stood and went to the bathroom soon the sound of running water could be heard though Shey gave no indication that she heard anything or even that she had been partially undressed.<br/><br/>Bear returned a few moments later, the sleeves of his shirt rolled up as his he reentered the room once again guiding Shey to the where he needed her to be, this time the bathroom was the destination. Once in there Bear waited a few moments to see if there was any reaction from Shey, "Shey..." he called her name gently though her eyes still did not seem to register anything. Sighing he then helped her out of her shirt, being careful not to touch her anywhere that was not necessary though as his eyes fell on her near naked form he could definitely see why Jack stayed around, and why Ethon was often cross about that relationship. With the greatest of care of the gentlest touch he removed her bra and then helped her slip out of the boyshorts she was wearing. Once she was completely naked her guided her into the bathtub filled with hot water, making sure she was comfortable and was not going to slip beneath the surface to drown. Taking a wash cloth Bear began to wash his alpha back with the utmost care and respect, remembering how she gained the title and knowing that she rightful deserved it. Thinking no less of her because of this or how she was behaving, everyone had a breaking point and from what he saw there he was not sure that he would actually be any better off then she was at the moment. The only sounds that were heard was the slow dripping of the water as Bear washed her body, though slowly there came a soft moaning like sound that turned into sobs and soon Shey was sobbing openly as she drew her knees to herself and cried. Without even thinking Bear reached in and hugged Shey while she cried, allowing her a shoulder to cry on. Later Shey was dressed and moving on her own, though she still felt drained she was better her mind and soul dealing with all the hurt and pain she saw and felt. She said nothing to Bear other then hugging him once more, both seeming to know that this was not something that needed to be spoke of in front of the rest of the pack. Stress of having to go to the meeting was still heavy on her mind, though she choose to ignore that at the moment as she phoned Ethon to let him know she was on her way to visit Jack for a moment before she went to the meeting.<br/><br/>Ethon turned to Jack upon hearing his question, "She is good as one can be after what she experienced." he says turning to him then walks over to the side of the bed taking a seat at the chair. "How are you feeling?" he asked knowing that the well being and care of this human was one of Shey's top priorities. They chatted back and forth a bit both trying to be as pleasant as possible till Ethon's phone rang and he answered it nodding and asking a few hushed questions before hanging up. "Well it looks like Sheyera is on her way here to see you." he said with a forced smile as he sat back in his chair to await the arrival of his alpha.<br/><br/>Getting to the hospital Shey got Jack's room number and with Bear as her shadow she made her way as quickly as possible without running to get to him. Once at the room she at the door way a moment looking at Jack her body tense as she controlled the urge to run to him and throw herself on him. Ethon came to her, his posture telling her that he wanted to hug her though he knew better then to do that. "Are you alright?" he asked. Shey met his eyes and nodded, "I'm going to need you to go with me to that stupid meeting later. After I have spoken with Jack." Ethon nodded standing there a moment then looking like he was going to give in and hug her before he continued out of the room to leave the two lovers alone. Shey walked to his bed smiling as she held back the tears that wanted to fall, "I'm so sorry." she whispered out to him as she stroked the side of his face before leaning in to plant a gentle kiss on his lips.<br/><br/>braioch8201 12-01-2008 05:18 PM<br/>The attendant walked into the room, speaking but stopped and blushed and sputtered for a moment when he spotted Memnoch and Enoch. Enoch stepped back and stared at Sean for a moment and then gave him an unabashed and expectant look.<br/><br/>Sean shook himself, if it didn't affect his leadership, his Prince's personal life was his own business.<br/><br/>"The groups you ordered are prepared to leave at your command."<br/><br/>Enoch nodded, "So be it, I want them waiting for me, I'll be down immediately."<br/><br/>"Yes sir," and with that he was gone.<br/><br/>Enoch sighed he turned to Memnoch, "well I guess it's time, going to put on anything appropriate?"<br/><br/>Memnoch gave him a sideways glance which was more than enough of an answer. He sighed and grabbed the ceromonious sword on his mantle. It's blade was made of a tempered steel, it's edge was surrated all along the edge, his families seal was emblazened beneath the large and very expensive ruby on the hilt.<br/><br/>With that they were gone.<br/><br/>*******************************<br/><br/>The long white limousine followed behind the two large SUV's, and it was followed by two more. They stopped outside the mage's council, with that, the driver of the limousine walked from his spot in the limo and opened the door. Enoch slipped from the car silently, he glanced to each side towards the SUV's as his subordinates leapt from the vehicles. Enoch pointed to each side and with that his men were gone in a blur.<br/><br/>Memnoch followed close behind him as he walked to the doors. He pushed them open and strolled inside. He glanced around at the architecture with an admiring eye. He smiled softly and then spotted a nearby mage, he immediately recognized her as Lady Cutra.<br/><br/>He bowed in respect with a smile on his face, "Lady Cutra, it is an honor. I do hope it is not an imposition, but I have placed my men at different locations all over to watch over and guard for any threats."<br/><br/>Ladypuppet 12-02-2008 07:48 AM<br/>*Cutra looked over as Damion aka Dherris stood at her side. Looking up she tilted her and wipe the tears out of her eyes. Looking up and shivers soflty looking at the Prince. He was a lot nicer and cleaner cut, then she had expected. She looked, she didn't like the guards, what would it cause the werewolves to think, she could not favor one over another. She smiled as Memnoch gave his respect of a bow she wouldn't be suprised if the Prince did not. Looking she narrowed, her eyes.*<br/><br/>"What of us, do you think the Mage Council not suffeicnt enough to protect your Prince?" *She questioned him and loked at him, she raised a brow turning she walked back toward the council hall motioning for him to follow her she shook her head slightly.* "I do not wish for the werewolves, to think I'm favoring one over another. So I must ask to you remove your guards." *Cutra said curtly.* "And if you don't remove them I will." *She said in a dangerous whisper, she chuckled soflty and and moved out her mouth twisted into evil grin, she winced softly as she heard another soul, depart its body but she pushed it to the back of the mind waiting for the others to show up.*<br/><br/>braioch8201 12-02-2008 11:10 AM<br/>Enoch brushed from behind Memnoch, he cursed himself for his lack of manners. He knew all to well of this mage, Memnoch amongst others had informed him of her, manner. That and she had a great amount of power behind her hands, and he could do nothing but respect that.<br/><br/>He smiles as he too bows respectfully, "that will be of now problem," he cocks his head towards Memnoch, "Call off all patrols, tell them to regroup at the safehouse a couple miles away, immediately."<br/><br/>Enoch turned with a smile, he had anticipated such a reaction. After all, Lycans were all to known for hating their species, a widespread guard of them could definitely cause a stir.<br/><br/>Politely he gave a furitive glance to each side, he too hadn't failed to notice the beauty of the Mage's home. He smiled again, "I do hope that this meeting can reach a better point of peace and understanding then the last one."<br/><br/>Ladypuppet 12-02-2008 11:48 AM<br/>*Cutra smiled softly, as she gave a soft sigh moving father back and around the councils desk. Looking down she saw she had a text message saying that Jack, had be injuryed and that Shey would possible be delayed. Cutra kept her shock held back, but she raised a brow to him.* "Such a noble many not as arrogant as the last Vampire Prince that entered this room and failed to leave." *Her voice was softy yet hurting. Looking down to the Prince and Memnoch as she took her seat.*<br/><br/>*Grumbling soflty she looked around.* "Figures, Rowan and Xavier took off." *She mummbled out to herself. Looking down she leaned her elbows on the desk and then interlaced her fingers together leaning forward onto her hands.* "Well after all i would hate to have a fight on my hands, it would be nasty if a mage would have to step in. " *She raised her brow tauntingly...*"I'm glad it wasn't a problem, I don't want blood on my hands." *She then slowly leaned back into the chair feeling the soft velvet.* "As do I mister? " *Looking at him she blinked.* "And your name is? " *She gave a soft laugh. * "Forgive me were are my mannors, I'm Cutra, or Lady Cutra as everyone so calls me." *Looking she rolled her eyes not liking the title at that much. She crossed her legs and sighed again looking at him.* "But you may call me just Cutra, Lady is only a title, one that I don't realy like it. But they all seem to call me...but its your choice..." *She fell quiet and looked down at him with a silent look.*
