It was nice to be on top of the food chain once again. Long had the wolves been subjugated by the elitist vampires who thought their shit did not stink. Noses turned up in disgust and disdain at the wolves, and yet who were the ones that went against nature? Living but not, dead and yet undead. It was they who were the monsters and it was them who deserved to rot in the sewers.<br/><br/>That battle, it had been glorious. To run with his pack, chase those filthy creatures back to where they belonged. He still bore the scars from that moment and wore them with pride.<br/><br/>Now, it was fifty years into their reign, into the<span style="font-style: italic">New Order</span>and life was good for them. When the vampires fled the world, the werewolves were quick to make themselves at home. Companies were taken over, their figure heads were put into power and soon the world ran on their clock. Humans were kept unaware, as per usual, even as their lives were now governed and controlled by the PACK. Government contracts, private contracts, everything that had to do with anything had to be cleared by them first. Occasionally, there were a few of the vampires who thought themselves brave and bold. These sorry, but organized lot would attempt to cause trouble and it would fall to one of the Lieutenants in the area to handle it.<br/><br/>Caine happened to enjoy it a bit more than most.<br/><br/>“Sir,” a voice came from behind him.<br/><br/>“What is it?” A glance not even given to the fellow who entered his office, instead his gaze remained out the window. The metropolis below had just begun to awaken to a new day, the humans content to buzz around about their lives. If they only knew of what happened behind closed doors....<br/><br/>“There has been a new coven discovered and the Alphas want it snuffed out,” the timber in his voice trembled a bit and already Caine could smell the scent of fear start to waft from him.<br/><br/>“That should be done easily enough. But, I want to know why you are so scared?”<br/><br/>“Nothing sir,” the scent increased and his voice quaked a bit more.<br/><br/>Now he turned to level his gaze at the other male, eyes rather warm and friendly if appraising. “That is a lie,” slow measured steps taken to close the gap between the two. “So, what is the matter?”<br/><br/>“This coven took out one of our labs...”<br/><br/>An eyebrow arched but nothing was said.<br/><br/>“And they stole some stuff....”<br/><br/>A sigh and slight nod, “I see. So, this mission is rather important then.”<br/><br/>Now it was time for the less dominant male to nod and not say a word.<br/><br/>“Understood. You can leave now,” he said with a dismissive wave before he turned back to the window.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic"> I wonder what they have heard that has them being so bold as to risk drawing our wrath with attacking one of our labs...</span>
