Rayne sat at the top of the mountain, her eyes closed. The cool breeze blowing through her pure white fur as she listened. She listened to the thumping of the horses hooves from the north, Arrea, she listened to the small chirping to the south, crickets, she listened to music coming from the east,  the Fey's were having a celebration, she listened to the quiet to the west, Elves, she listened to the howling of her Beta coming from camp. Her green eyes flung open as she focused oh the howling, listening to the sequence and consistensy. Three short howls would be an emergency, more then four long howls would be supper and ten howls long and short meant he was just looking for her and that she should return soon. She chuckled at the tenth howl, Castiel was always so worried about her.<br/><br/><br/>She lifted her head to let out one long howl revealing her location and headed down the moutain. Her paws providing perfect traction as she headed down the steep slope, once tired of decending with such slow speed she jumped of the edge and landed perfectly on the flat ground. When she landed she imidiately sprinted off, she loved to run. Running was her little escape, darting through the trees at lightning speed, jumping over fallen trees and ducking under some that were to high to jump. When she ran in her wolf form all you could see was a blur of white fur, you couldn't hear a sound she moved as though she was hovering over the earth, not even a twig broke under her paws, if you were her prey you would meet your end without even knowing it was time for you to be sent to the afterlife. She slowed as the huts came into view, a little smoke coming from each of the chimnies, she inhaled and exhaled deeply and came to a stop where she had abandoned her clothes. She began the grotesque and painful transformation back to a human. Bones cracked, popped and repositioned themselves as she yelped and whimpered with the pain, her face distorting as the bones repositioned themselves to it's human form, Her spine jerked to imposible heights, her legs flu from under her and she gritted her teeth as her hips positioned themselves to a human state. Once in her human form her body shaked a little and she stood a bit wobbley and pulled on her low rise, dark wash jeans, she snaped on her red and black lace bra and pulled on the straps, adjusting her breasts comfortably. She took a belly ring from a plastic beg inside her jean poket and inserted the gold belly ring into the entry whole inside her belly button, and through the exit hole abover her belly button, twisting the little ball on the exposed end to hold it in place, letting the little cherry charm hang low. She pulled on the crimson red, strapless, belly shirt over her head and positioned it porperly, the shirt showed off her beautiful pheonix tattoo that ran down her right side and ended at her hip. Finally she pulled on a black leather jacket to complete the outfit, she pulled her long, curly, chocolate brown hair from under the color of the jacket to let it fall beautifully down her back.<br/><br/><br/>When she aprotched the entrence to her underground den, Castiel stood there, arms crossed, looking as handsome as ever with his ocean blue eyes, and dark messy hair. He towered over her at his six foot four stature and his perfectly toned, muscular body was enough to make any woman melt. She sighed longingly and gave him a flirtatious smile. "Hello handsome, to what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?"<br/><br/>Castiel smiled and shook his head. "I was worried about you"<br/><br/>She chuckled opening the door to her den and heading down the steps "Oh? Well, I am just fine. Come in Cassy, close the door behind you though."<br/><br/>Her den was quite a sight to behold, furnished with leather chairs, the walls colored a beautiful dark purple, a desk came into view as you descended the last few steps, along with a sitting area and book shelves that lined the wall. To the right of the den was her bedroom, her bathroom and her closet. Which was a seperate room to give her more space in her bedroom. Chandellier candel holders hung from the roof of all the rooms and lite when she entered one then blew out when she exited the room.<br/><br/>He nodded and followed her down, closing the door behind him. "Mi'Lady, we resived an invitation from the vampires that the inn had been reopend." He handed her the white envelope with the red seal of the vampires on the back.<br/><br/>Rayne gently took it from his hands, a small blush rising to her cheeks as their fingers brushed. "Please Cassy, call me Rayne or Ray I've told you many times I do not like formalities from you."<br/><br/>He nodded with a smile "Yes, I'm sorry Ray. Force of habit I suppose"<br/><br/>"Yes, old habits do die hard." She chuckled and opened the envelope pulling out the folded peice of paper, unfolding it and began reading...<br/><br/><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-style: italic">Dear Miss. Rayne Watson, <br/>We are pleased to inform the that the Inn has been reopened. <br/>We would be ever so delighted by the presence of you and your pack. <br/>Please, don't hesitate to inquire about anything.<br/>Scencerly, your old friend,<br/>Arrea Delano</span></div><br/><br/><br/>Rayne smiled and folded the letter gently putting it back into the envelope and set it on her desk. She poured her and Castiel a glass of wine, handed him a glass and sat in one of her comfy leather arm chairs. Castiel sat across from her and sipped his wine as Rayne spoke. "Well, send Arrea a return letter telling her of a celebration I would like to hold and request permission to have it at her Inn. Of course all the races will be invited to the celebration and it would be a great chance for me to visit and catch up with my old friend." Rayne sipped her wine.<br/><br/>Castiel nodded setting his wine glass on the glass coffee table and taking mental notes. "And this celebration would be in honor of what?"<br/><br/>Rayne smirked and finished her wine. "In honor of the change of season, the reopening of her Inn and in honor of the peace." She smiled at him.<br/><br/>He nodded and stood up giving her a bow and a kiss on the cheek. "Concider it done, Ray. I'll go prepare the letter now."<br/><br/>Rayne nodded and watched as he left, got up poured herself a glass of scotch and sat back down. She sighed opening her hand and a small orb of fire formed in the middle of it. She lazyly played with it as you would a coin and sipped her drink.
