Now leaving the coffee house Rebekah asked- "Now what are we going to do? No one knows anything it seems."

Nevan- "We'll go to the site of the fire, even if it happened a few years ago I may still find out something."

He looked over at Rebekah who had her arms out as if waiting for something, Nevan laughed at this and teased her- "What are you doing."

Rebekah not taking the bait- "Hurry up, chop, chop, this princess awaits." Lifting her head high and proud like, trying to not blush.

Nevan gave a little bow- "This knight hears and obeys." lifting her and giving her a deep kiss.

Rebekah whispering- "I don't think I'll ever get tired of this, you've spoiled me rotten, I may never want to walk again."

Nevan whispering back- "You'll never have to my love if you don't wish to."

Later upon arriving at the fire, Nevan turned wolf trying to sniff out any leads. Rebekah seeing this wanted to turn wolf too, but remembering she would be naked afterward decided not to in case Nevan attacked her again.

Rebekah- "Found anything? I'm growing bored being in these bleak woods."

Nevan- "Yes." He was able to smell bout 10% of what happened despite the fire and the years of wear from weather and time. "Talia is dead." he finished with a howl to show his grief. Rebekah feeling it as well went up to hug him and pet his head. 'I didn't notice it before, but he's very soft.'

Nevan now ready to move on despite the wonderful feeling he got from her petting, found that she seems to be in a trance doing it. "Rebekah."

"Yes?" she asked as she kept petting.

Nevan- "Since I'm like this just hop on and we'll go to the police station to ask about the fire, while I confirmed Talia's dead, I can still sense her, which means her power has been passed on to someone and I would like to know who." Eyes glowing at the last statement. Rebekah feeling his seriousness reluctantly stopped petting him and hopped on.

At the sheriff's office, they met Sheriff Stilinski who told them about the only survivor he knows of Peter Hale.

Nevan stopping by saw Peter Hale was still recovering and left.

Rebekah- "That Peter was a werewolf."

Nevan- "Yep and he's not the only one to survive, It seems one of Cora's siblings survived."

Rebekah sensing something asked- "Who is this Cora?"

Nevan- "The daughter of Talia, but she didn't receive her power so that means it must have been passed down to someone else, I came here to figure out who."

Nevan back in wolf form- "Alright, next stop Portland, the witch I've been thinking of has roots there, they might know where she is or if another can do what we need."

_________________________________________________________________

After arriving in Portland, Nevan took Rebekah around to tour the city while keeping an eye out for any witches. It wasn't until they were in an art museum that Nevan went off to ask a question when Rebekah heard someone whispering. "Vampire! wait no that's not right." seeing Rebekah turn to look she exclaimed "Shit." before taking off at a run through the back door leading to the alley. Rebekah zoomed after her catching her by the neck and pinning her to the wall in the alley.

Rebekah - "Now my dear, where exactly are you going, it's rude to run and not say hi." using a nail to scratch the brown-haired woman's neck and taste her blood. 'He should be fine with me sucking women's blood.' she thought then yelling only loud enough for Nevan to hear, who was still inside talking to an art adviser asking how this randomly splashed wall was art and if he did the same would he also be able to sell it for millions.- "Husband, I've found what we need."

With Nevan appearing the already scared woman fainted.

Rebekah- "Look at that you scared her to death." she smiled at him before asking "Hey when you're done with her, can I drain her?"

Nevan frowning asked- "I thought you said you don't feel the thirst?"

Rebekah- "Don't worry, I no longer feel it, but after feeding on it for over a thousand years I'd rather not just stop cold turkey."

Feeling better "That's fine then, only on women though." he said with a serious expression.

Rebekah just smiled, teasing him- "Quite the jealous one aren't we?"

Nevan just flashed his eyes, making her feel and understand as he said: "I'm an alpha, the first alpha, it's not in my nature to bend down or accept anything that is a disadvantage to me."

Rebekah snorted "Men." before bending down to slap the women awake- "Hey you wake up, come on, there you go, now we have some question we'll like to ask."

The petite woman who was no more than 5ft tall started to stir, her eyes going wide when she saw and remembered Rebekah. She instinctively raised her hand to try and shoot some magic at them, but Rebekah was prepared and flashed her own eyes for the first time in anger as she quickly grabbed her neck and slammed her into the wall, squeezing as she hissed- "Don't do that!"

Nevan came up placing his hand on hers. "Alright don't kill her...oh nice eyes." Unlike when he bit people to turn into alphas with the distinctive red glowing eyes. Rebekah while red had an orange circle band just around her pupils. Rebekah took out a mirror to check and smiled seeing how she and he were becoming closer in all sorts of ways.

Nevan looking back towards the girl- "We mean you no harm, we only came to make a deal, how about we start with your name shall we, I'm Nevan and this is my lovely wife Rebekah." Earning him a grin from Rebekah.

"My name is Lora and no matter what you do to me I'll never sell out my coven."

Nevan frowning didn't understand why she was so hostile then looked towards Rebekah wondering if it was because she was made as a vampire. "Why are you so nervous and hostile towards us?"

Lora looked at him like he's an idiot "As if you don't know about the war, in fact, why are you filthy vampires in our territory? I thought you were all wiped out, how did you even manage to escape? Then again while she feels like a Vamp to a degree, you don't." looking towards Nevan.

Nevan mocked her- "Well, well, look at this, first she faints and now she aggressively inquires about us, isn't she just a crazy little spitfire, so tell me about this war you had or are you still having it?"

Lora squinted her eyes at that- "You don't know? Must be new to town then if you don't know about the recent war that started up, you'll get nothing out of me, just know that you'll soon be hunted down like the rest, biggest mistake coming to this town."

Nevan looking at her weirdly before turning to Rebekah- "Did she really faint, or did you choke her out by mistake?"

Nevan being ignored by Rebekah who rolled her eyes continued- "Alright let me try one thing first then she's yours, I have a feeling our new bond gave me something as well."

Rebekah with a knowing look said- "If your thinking of compelling her, you should know witches can't be compelled."

Nevan smirked- "Yeah but that's for vampires and I'm not a vampire, I have a feeling it'll work unless she's on something like Wolfsbane, after all, whoever heard of a werewolf who could compel someone, this should be fun."

Lora- "You're a werewolf? First time seeing one, but you'll be hunted down just like the vampires."

Nevan bending lower so they would be at eye line- "Yeah, yeah, Now why don't you tell me everything you know about the recent happenings around here."

Lora now stood quiet and cooperative- "The witches made a pact with the were-jaguars who recently came to town, the witches would help locate and eliminate werewolves and in return, the were-jaguars would help eliminate vampires."

Nevan hearing this started to sniff around to confirm before frowning- "Dammit, those cat bastards are all over here, luckily I don't smell any actual jaguars that would be troublesome if they made it this far this fast."

Rebekah having been told earlier about his recent problems didn't mind it and asked- "So we're done with her right?"

Nevan smirked at her- "Yes you can eat her now, while I think of what to do next, I'm thinking I may have to start speeding up my learning of Sumeet's gift if the witches are also helping the cats now."

Rebekah suddenly stopped her movements inches away from piercing her neck- "husband, did you forget why we came here in the first place."

Nevan smiled awkwardly- "Worst comes to worst I'll compel all the witches to help us." He didn't want to give up his clothes.
