Nevan now tired, but mostly embarrassed at how everything went, changed back into a wolf and started heading back to the meadow.

On his way out he missed the now glowing magic circle Sumeet was drawing before he died.

..........................

It was now dark when Nevan arrived, he made his way to the tree to take a much-needed rest. Aurelia was there waiting for him, however, she just stared at him as he arrived. He did a few circles before curling up to fall asleep.

He woke up the next day earlier than usual, he couldn't get the feeling of weight off of him. He opened his eyes to see Aurelia sleeping with her back up against him. She soon woke upcoming face to face with Nevan. Her face turned red before she jumped to her feet wiping herself off, with her back facing him saying- "I thought you left, you were gone all day."

Nevan- "Naw, I was just busy raiding one of the hidden tombs, even if I did leave, you now have my number."

Aurelia hearing this only turned redder, luckily her back was towards Nevan. "I know." was all she said before walking away.

Nevan watching her leave let out a yawn, smacking his mouth together a bit before looking over to see the squirts running over, he quickly got up and started to run away hearing them shout at him from the distance.

He wanted to check around the forest for any more tombs before leaving. He contacted Aurelia telling her to look for and notify him of any nearby tombs they may have missed.

A few days later with no results, it was time to move on. Nevan gathered them all together at the tree to say his goodbyes. "Well I gathered you all here to say goodbye, while I didn't get to learn who all of you are, it was still nice having met you."

Cora frowned at this- "What! your leaving? you can't leave yet, you still need to teach me things and answer my questions!"

Gabriela ever-cheerful it seems simply said- "Don't be a stranger, be sure to visit."

Altair mumbled- "Didn't even teach us how to turn into a wolf."

Vinicius echoed Altair's sentiment.

Ramiro whispered- "Good riddance." which earned him glares from the others.

The other two girls seemed even more nervous than before and stayed as far away from Nevan as they could while trying to stay with the group. Nevan looked at them causing them to flinch in response, ignoring this he looked at Aurelia indicating for her to follow him to talk in private.

Cora ran up before they left and asked- "Can I go with you?"

Nevan swiftly denied her- "Sorry I'm not into little girls."

Cora with a hint of a blush yelled back- "Who the hell would be interested in an old uncle like you." before stomping off in anger.

Nevan felt the arrow at being called uncle, Aurelia giggled a little at this, until Nevan turned to glare at her. "Aurelia, I'll be leaving now, you have my number, make sure to call if anything happens, especially if its those filthy jaguars, be careful when you deal with them they have the ability to use magic much more efficiently then in the past." he also thought of warning her to keep an eye on Ramiro, but he decided she would be fine either way.

Aurelia- "Understood my lord."

Nevan though, the ever petty, wouldn't leave without doing something back to Aurelia who just giggled at him. He moved up to her before she knew what was going on and kissed her cheek telling her again "Stay safe."

Aurelia's face instantly bloomed like a rose, blushing so much, steam was coming out of her ears. Nevan laughed before turning around in wolf form and running away from a successful ambush.

.............................

His next old pack member was in Las Vegas, the city of sin. It had to be that lazy ass Haman, thought Nevan as he sensed out his next target.

Arriving at the city during the night he was able to see the lights from miles away. All the flashing lights weren't a pleasant experience for Nevan who had very good eyes. He coped with it though as he walked the strip trying to catch a whiff of Haman.

He eventually caught a scent as he followed it to the Flamingo, where he found him poolside flirting with a couple of ladies.

Haman was 5ft 11in tall, he had an agouti colored long hair same has his wolf, (hairs are banded with black, white, gold and brown( I googled wolf color).

It didn't take long for Haman to sense Nevan, he ditched the women as soon as he noticed and made his way over, leaving an angry couple of women who cursed him. Haman arrived in front of Nevan and just like Aurelia took knee head down.- "My lord."

Seeing as they were still in public, it was quite awkward for Nevan looking around at all the people staring. "Quickly get up, honestly I thought you would be different from the stuck up Aurelia."

Haman hearing about Aurelia got up and grinned- "Well about that, it's been such a long time since we've met, it just seemed like the natural thing to do after so long." he said scratching the back of his head.

Nevan still looking around, taking note of all the women in bikinis asked- "So got any kids?"

Haman just about fell over when he heard this, sweating he replied- "No my lord, I only like to fool around, kids aren't for me."

Nevan felt the need to ask since he wasn't interested in another adventure- "Nothing unusual going on around here?"

Haman- "No sir, just the city of sin and all its wonders, not sure what unusual you would be referring to."

Haman waiting patiently, even he the laziest of the wolves that survived, not just respected Nevan, but practically worshiped him, the man did bring them back from extinction and stronger for it.

Haman then thought of something he might want to hear- "My lord I just recalled one event that took place that was unusual."

Nevan started to turn gloomy expecting the worst, Haman noticing this started sweating again, "Ah my lord nothing to worry about it was just a small matter, the Original Rebekah stopped by for a bit of fun not that long ago, but she's already moved on."

Hearing this, Nevan's jealous side took over, he knew how Haman was and didn't like the idea of someone he's close to, touching her, eyes glowing orange, he let out a bit of pressure as he asked,- "Rebekah was here huh? and you, what did you do?"

Haman sweating more and more was not having a good day, 'looks like I stepped on a land mine.' caught off guard as the pressure hit him he stumbled a bit before quickly replying- "I assure you I haven't touched her, in fact, you can be pleased to note that she hasn't touched anyone, except for feeding on people, please calm yourself my lord your eyes are glowing." looking around to see if anyone was paying to much attention to them, luckily it was Vegas.

Nevan did feel pleased when he heard she hasn't slept with anyone recently, it seems she's been taking a break since mystic falls. 'Maybe I should offer the Salvatore heads on a plate to her as a gift' he thought. After taking a shine to Rebekah 100's of years ago, he's always kept tabs on her wanting to get closer, but he wasn't going to deal with her messed-up family. That's why this was a rare opportunity now that she was out on her own for the first time, ever.

Haman seeing the lord turn happier wiped his sweat off sighing in relief that he never went anywhere near Rebekah. 'Dodged a bullet there.' He thought as there was this one day he was making his way towards her before she zoomed off with her vampire speed.
