Leo blushed slightly as Brayden took his hand and held it while Claude digested the information that was given to him by Brayden.

Eventually, Claude did digest Brayden's information and did the only thing that was even possible to do in such a situation: laugh. A nice, deep, and long laugh that made Leo turn a deeper shade of red.

"This is not funny Claude!" Leo said, embarrassed that his elder brother thought the situation was funny. "I could be trapped as a wolf after I give birth to these babies! I know that I'd have instincts and what not helping me along with Brayden, but I still wouldn't have any idea on how to care for wolf pups. Hell, I don't even know how to live as a wolf let alone care for pups."

Claude, finally calming down from his laughter high, looked at Leo with a smile.

"Don't worry little bro, you will not have to worry about being stuck as a wolf," Claude said trying to comfort Leo. Only because you and your "babies" will be dead. Along with your so-called mate who seems to be catching on to us. We'll have to speed up the ritual if we want to complete it.


"If the witch that's out there wanting to harm Trevor, me, and Brayden's pack has any say in it, that's exactly what will happen," Leo said, frightened. "Other than killing tons of innocents, we really don't know what this witch wants. At least, I don't and I'm most definitely an innocent. I didn't even ask to be pregnant with Brayden's babies. It all happened on accident. I don't want to be the victim of some witch's vendetta when I've never really done anything."

"Sounds like bad luck to me," Claude said as he took off his boots. "Now, if you excuse me, I'm gonna go clean up then crash. Those errands took a lot out of me."

With that, Claude made his way past Brayden and Leo up the stairs to the only empty room and began doing as he said he would.
