Caleb Lycaon

"Oh here we go," Gwen muttered sarcastically as she tossed her hands in the air. "Mommy's little golden boy off to defend her the second the opportunity presents itself. Honestly, Caleb, pick a new song, because this one is is getting real fucking old, " she fired back, feeling her blood beginning to boil under her skin. She wondered what it would take for Caleb to ever see her side of things, if he were even capable. After decades of fighting for it, she wasn't holding her breath to ever getting it.

Jaxon had been like family to them, but Caleb still could not wrap his mind around the fact that he had an affair with their mother.

"Heh... I suppose you haven't," Caleb chuckled again, sheepishly this time.

Eiji watched as the Lycaon leader placed a chair down in front of the bars and took a seat. “Caleb,” He greeted, his gaze flickering for a moment as he half expected the rest of the council to flood in through the doors to announce his fate in dramatic fashion. When no such thing happened, his attention returned to the wolf.

"I wanted to see how you've been doing," Caleb said as he settled in his chair. Being locked up could not be easy, but Eiji had done things to deserve the time behind bars, Caleb just wished that the Council would be faster in coming to a decision about him.

"Alright, alright." She laughed as he hugged her again. "Careful people will think our family actually gets along for once." She shook her head and ducked inside so they could get to work and try to fix the mess they're in.

She hugged him back, she could still be mad at him and love him all at once. There was a pit in her stomach still where all of that anger sat alongside guilt. She still needed to tell Will about this choice the one to take up a leadership place she'd never really wanted... fuck, she'd have to lie to him still. In their almost a year together she'd managed to keep herself honest in everything with him. She hated that she had to.

"I won't, cuz," Caleb replied, welcoming the peck on the cheek as he reached out to give Faye a quick hug again. "I promise."

"All of us wolves have the ability to heal from a bit of fire," Caleb chuckled in return, unconsciously downplaying the fact that not every wolf would run into fire if they wanted to save someone.

She nodded at his gratitude, unsure how to take it. She could tell he was being sincere, and a part of her wanted to believe that meant there was a chance that things would eventually be better between them. After decades at odds, Gwen couldn't deny she was tired of fighting. However, there were several choices that she wasn't sure she could forgive Caleb for, at least not any time soon.

"It's not all on mom..." Caleb returned, the furrow appearing between his brows again. This was a huge topic of contention between himself and Gwen and as much as he did not wish to start arguing with his sister again, it seemed like they were heading in that direction anyway.

Naz had no idea if she had gotten Caleb right or wrong. She had hoped he was different but now she would never know. Now when he looked at her, all he would see is the bunny costume and not her. "Society will never change if people react how you did," she said. She had enjoyed this film so much and it felt bittersweet now, knowing the rumours could mean it was her last movie.

Carmen blinked, wishing she had something to occupy her hands with. “No, not really.” She admitted honestly, “He wasn’t very interested in me once I became a vampire. I think his priorities lay with wanting to find someone else to become his familiar, instead. My parents… ensured I stopped doing the things I shouldn’t be doing.” She continued. It hadn’t mattered, her sire had only been a placeholder for Isko, someone to fill the void, to get her to where she had thought she wanted to be. “I try.” Carmen gave a small and awkward smile. Sometimes she tried harder than others. Sometimes she didn’t want to be fine. She wanted to give in to her urges.

That was his Pengwen. When the girl saw something she wanted, she went after it until she got it. He certainly could imagine her doing the same with Caleb's sweets. He was lucky that she wasn't after more. The obvious answer was to help Gwen power through her anger by helping her relax, but he couldn't ever see Caleb sharing an edible with his half-sister. "Alright, but remember to call me from time to time. We are still a pack, and I still have your back even when you do something stupid."

"Yeah, of course, Will," Caleb said with a vehement nod. "Thank you. Faye will hopefully be there to stop be from doing said stupid things," he said with a final self-deprecating chuckle.

The spirit would never tire of kissing Caleb like this, especially when it felt like it happened so sporadically. She was enjoying being wrapped up his arms and her body curved against his, happy to steal the heat radiating off the wolf beneath his coat.

The wolf whistle was also what took Caleb out of the moment and his cheeks flushed just as red as Naz's, if not more, as he turned away from their onlookers to hide Naz from them as well. It was not often that he got carried away like that, but it had felt nice to indulge in the moment.

[Text] Got a human in Artemis who might be in to me… hard to tell. He showed up at my door the other day though unannounced.

[text] How did that happen? Of him being on to you? I will need all the details.

For: @caleb-lycaon

"Hello, Eiji," Caleb said as he entered the space, a chair in hand that he set down outside the bars. He did not know how long this conversation was going to last, but it had also been some time since Caleb last visited. Surely Eiji would also appreciate someone to talk to.

He reached out and rested a hand over Caleb's. Part of it was a genuine thank you, the other reason though was so he could quietly slide into Caleb's mind to fuzz some of the details of their conversation. He should remember most of their conversation and the fact that Elijah was - for lack of a better word - compromised when it came to making decisions regarding Eiji, but he shouldn't remember Elijah's outburst telling him what sort of magic could locate his sons.

"Thanks, Elijah..." The witch had come to take on a pseudo-paternal role with Caleb recently and those words meant a lot to him in the moment.

[Text] All that from a name?! Hope you’re right.., if so seems easy enough.

[text] Rei doesn't seem like a common name. He was the first one that came to mind.

"Good point," she replied in understanding. Her position as an elder was very different to what Caleb had to do in his day to day. Naz wanted to accommodate that and the pack but she was hoping for some time for them as well. "October then," she agreed. "You can handle the pack and I'll clear my court appreances as well." That was the only thing she really had to worry about. Judas would take care of their home and the council could revert to Victoria if needed.

Caleb's greater height had him winding his arms around her waist in return, wanting to lift her off the ground as they kissed, knowing that she was likely on the tips of her toes already.

"What does it look like?" Kameron replied curtly. The other's narrowed gaze did little to shame him, especially when the hunger churned his core and the dryness on his tongue was uncomfortable. He ran the flat of his hand over his face, palm coming back slick. He hadn't realized he had been drooling.

Caleb moved swiftly to put himself between the drunk human and the starving vampire. "I don't care if you're starving. You know the new rules. This person is drunk and cannot consent. You are not to touch him," the wolf growled, his large frame he often tried to downplay and shrink down suddenly straightened up to its full height.
