"Lynette, nice name for such a good cook and pretty young lady too." he commented. He took another drag from the cigarette and ordered another drink, "How about a full moon, haven't had one in a long while. Pretty simple, one and a half ounces of Orange Curacao liqueur and one and a half ounces amaretto almond liqueur. Pour above ingredients into an ice-filled rocks glass, and serve." He turned his head as one of the regulars turned on the jukebox. Boom Boom by Big Head Todd started playing and he turned back smiling at Lynn, "Nice music selection here too."

"Thank you and I am fully aware of how the drink is made. This isn't my first day bartending. As for the music I prefer classical myself." Lynn said with a small smile. She handled the bottles easily, though she was no show off or proffesional by any means, she still had the drink done in a few seconds. Lightly settling it in front of the man she tipped her head with a smile, while she didn't really understand the name for the drink, it was one Marcus had fairly often so Lynn was familiar with it. While she was like any other girl and liked compliments this guy was starting to catch her attention and not in a way she would have thought normal. He stood out by not standing out and it had her wary of him.

He picked up the drink and took a taste, "Very good probably one of the best I've had. So, I need to get up the road a piece can I cash out Lynn?" he asked taking another sip. He stubbed out his cigarette and put his zippo back in his shirt pocket. The sing ended and a new one started, Shelia came over with some empties to pitch out. Marcus was upstairs in the office, his phone had rung a little bit earlier so he went to talk business.

"Sure thing." Lynn smiled brightly, taking his card from where it was and cashing him out. After charging the amount she handed him the receipt and the slip to sign and a pen. "Sign here." She says with a soft smile waiting for this to be done and him to be gone. He was giving her vibes. And she just couldn't figure it out, he seemed like just a regular customer like any other she had served before. She kept trying to convince herself it was nothing but feelings are harder to convince then thoughts.

He signed the slip and then opened his wallet and placed a tip under his glass then got up. "Well, it was a good meal thank you." he complimented before leaving through the front door. The tip he left was a fifty dollar bill and his pack of cigarettes sat on the other side. Kristy came back in, "Oh, he left was he much trouble I know how you like serving so well." She also noticed the tip and the pack of smokes, and she was fresh out and they looked expensive too.

"No... He was no trouble. Cover the bar I'm going to return these before he gets too far." Lynn said grabbing the tip and the pack of cigarettes. She quickly walked over to the exit of the bar and out the door. These were expensive she was sure of it, and he was nice enough she thought maybe she was just acting paranoid and crazy. She took a deep whiff to catch his scent to find out where he went. Then after catching it she took off at a fast walk.

"Hey, he probably doesn't have many left let me have 'em please." Kristy asked tilting her head to show respect. Something she did when she wanted something from any member of the pack. Lynn saw he was in an older panel van just pulling out of the parking lot. "Come on Lynn please, I've never had clove cigarettes, they sound really high class even for this place." Kristy hurried over to the door and leaned close, "I'll even close up and clean up so you can hang out with Dallas or go to bed early."

"No." Lynn's simple refusal was plain and blunt. Lynn picked up her feet and putting thumb and pointer finger in her mouth gave out a high pitched whistle to get his attention. She hurried towards the van and was almost jogging. She hoped she would catch him, after all the compliments and the tip it was really the least she could do. She would feel bad if she didn't return these to him. Kristy could just save up or go without. It was a bad habit to have anyways smoking and Lynn didn't think anyone in their pack should have such a filthy habit.

He didn't stop, pulling out into traffic and heading far down the road. Kristy stood at the door and pouted, Lynn was being plain mean to her now. "Oh come on Lynn, you'll never catch him and it'd be crazy to throw them away. Please, I really need a cigarette, please sister." she used the sister comment in reference to the fact they both belonged to the pack. She hated asking the guys to bum smokes, Dallas ignored her and most of the guys made her gopher or flash them for cigs.

"I... fine but just one!" Lynn said rolling her eyes, she could see the frustration in Kristy's body language. Tossing the pack at the girl, Lynn headed for the door back into the bar. She would bartend again until they shut down for the night... or more then likely she would go and wash all the dishes and utensels she had used earlier to cook with. She did feel bad for not getting the cigarettes back to the man but if he came back she would have them for him.

As Lynn got to the door she heard a hissing sound and then Kristy scream. Turning to look she could see Kristy engulfed in a cloud of some sort of gas. She dropped the pack of cigarettes and was trying to brush what now covered her skin off. A little of the gas blew toward Lynn and when it contacted her skin she realized it was silver and it began to burn her. Kristy could not get the silver off her skin, it was burning and all she could do was scream.

Lynn yelled and tried to brush it off of her own skin. "MArcus!! Dallas!!" Lynn cried out brushing at her own skin. It burned hotter and more painful then any metal heated or liquid Lynn had ever been burned with. Lynn didn't know what was happening and didn't know how to stop it, Kristy's skin was literally boiling and Lynn felt it was all her fault, something about those cigarettes. Something about that man but all Lynn could feel was pain and anger and fear for Kristy.

Rick came from the front door and grabbed Lynn, "some sorta dust get a wet towel for Lynn's hand!" Dallas came from the side of the bar and ran fast throught the cloud grabbing Kristy, charging through the door and running both of them up stairs to get to the shower. Shelia put a wet towel over Lynn's hand and pulled her into the kitchen and started the sink and got some soap. "What in the hell happened, where did you two get covered in this stuff?" Kristy looked awful and Dallas more than likely got burned pulling her out of the silver dust cloud.

"Ci-cigarettes!!" Lynn yelped out in between her cries from the pain and cringing away from the pain of the burns. Her arm hurt so badly she could only think of trying to make it stop but she didn't know how. Instead she justtried to get whatever hurt off, off of her skin off of her it burned and she coudln't imagine how bad Kristy hurt.

Shelia angled Lynn's arm down so the water ran and washed the silver down instead of to skin that had not been affected. She figured upstairs Dallas more than likely stripped Kristy and was trying to do the same with them both to get the silver off. "Cigarettes?" She called for one of the normal members of the pack to go investigate the area. "Was it a customer? Did you get a name or anything he might be a hunter." Shelia was begining to panic, it was a tactic that hunters used, kind of a 'I know who you are' way of causing chaos.

"Customer... yes... he paid with a credit card..." Lynn said shakily she'd never before felt the burning of silver on her skin, not since she had been turned. Now she knew why it was the first thing she was told about to avoid, taught to never touch and there was no surprise why now that she felt what it could do. If he was a hunter... then her insticts had been trying to warn her probably... but all she could focus on was the pain in her arm.

Shelia opened the first aid kit and covered her hand and arm in burn cream and wrapped it with guaze. She would send someone to get another couple tubes and guaze, no doubt Kristy & Dallas would need it. John came in followed by Marcus, he was holding the pack of cigarettes that Kristy had opened and deployed the silver gas. "Hunter's trick, they are getting crafty these days." Marcus commented looking over Lynns hand. Shelia growled at the mention, "What about Kristy & Dallas?" she asked. "In the shower upstairs, go see what you can do, but I know Dallas will have taken care of her first then himself."

"How'd one find us?" Lynn asked softly holding her arm close to her stomach under her breasts. Her arm ached fiercly and she could still feel the burning of the blisters on her flesh, she hoped Kristy was alright and that Dallas was too. Lynn didn't want to move her arm at all because of the fierce ache and burning sensation, but she let Marcus look her over anyways. She had never been around the pack enough to hear the proper stories of hunters and what they did or how they got around to finding werewolves like Lynn and the pack.

"It will take a couple days to heal, think of this as a burn when you happened to touch a stove before you were turned. I want you to get me the card reciept in a second so we can try finding him." He said satisfied that Shelia did a fine job with Lynn. "They move and recognize patterns in our movements, this one got lucky to find us here." Dampening another towel he wrapped Lynn's arm to keep it cool.

Lynn cringed a little at the added preassure but nodded her head. "The receipt is still in the cash register... Like all the other one's. He stayed four three hours or so... I think I remember all the drinks he ordered... so finding it won't be a problem." She reported dutifully, while her arm throbbed and she just wanted to go curl up somewhere and make it stop she knew that no painkillers would work... their metabalisms were way to fast for anything like that to work on them. It was part of the fast healing process or so she had been told. Why anyone would want to harm her she didn't know... she had never hurt anyone... never attacked anyone... except for those men... or rather that one man... But that was to save her own life, it wasn't like she ran around doing bad things! Lynn leaned her shoulder against Marcus in a silent need for support, he was still holding the towel around her arm so she hoped he wouldn't push her away.

Marcus tipped her head up to meet his eyes, knowing the thoughts in her mind. "Hunters hunt, they don't ask or try to understand they track and kill our kind. Things like this are in their nature, just like being wolves are in our nature. That is why our pack, our family is so very important; we love each other and protect one another no matter what." He punctuated his thought by lightly brushing his lips against hers, calming her fears and finding the hunter were the most important things right now.

Lynn did feel better and she sighed softly letting much of the fear and worry go out with the breath. "I'll get the receipt." She promises softly kissing Marcus's cheek turning to go out the kitchen door and get the receipt out of the cash register. Using her uninjured hand mostly she grabbed the receipt and turned to go back into the kitchen to give it to Marcus. He would know what to do with this information... and he would tell the others surely. Lynn didn't know about this stuff... she was the newest in being a werewolf though she was older in age then Kristy. But in these matters it was for the Alpha she knew that.

He rewarded her with a peck on the cheek, "Good Lynn, thank you for finding this so fast. You should go rest, get some sleep and when you wake your arm should be better." Marcus kissed her lips and then pointed her to the door, as he handed the name to Rick. "Look for it, but don't expect to find anything. Richard Rowlands was an author lived in the sixteen hundreds, a typical trick of hunters.

Shelia and Dallas were coming down stairs, Lynn could plainly see burns on Dallas' face and bare arms. "Kristy is free of any silver and is resting, I'll need to put more burn cream on her though before we prepare to move." Dallas never took his eyes off Lynn's arm or her face, "Are you doing alright?" he asked. Rick came out and started typing away on the laptop, then cursed and thudded his hand on the table. "Marcus you're right, phony credit card, we'll never find him now."

"I'm okay... it's nothing near as bad as Kristy... What about you?" Lynn asked softly looking him over, he didn't act much like he was in pain. But then he was a stronger wolf then she was, she wished she could help more but he was just like most of the regulars around here and she never really paid much attention to their looks that wasn't really her job. So she stopped to talk to Dallas for a moment before she went to bed like she was told.

"Not my first time with silver, more troublesome trying to hold Kristy down while I washed it off her skin. I should, like you be fine in the morning thanks for askin." Dallas could smell that Marcus had touched her, probably to calm her and send her to bed. Sleep would be best for anyone getting the silver on them, the rest would watch for trouble. "Get some rest Lynn, we might be leaving earlier than we thought, now that this place is on their radar."

"Okay... Thank you for taking care of her." Lynn said softly before giving her respect to Shelia then heading up the stairs and straight to bed. Laying down not even changing, she just wanted to sleep she'd change in the morning. She was alseep soon enough and woke as usual before the sun rose. She changed into a new pair of pants black and tighter then the last pair but still clothe, and a new top she redid her hair in it's usual pony tail and headed downstairs to make breakfast, her arm still ached and hurt when she moved it around too much but Marcus had told her three days so this was one and there were two more to go.

Passing Kristy's room she heard the younger wolf groan in pain and even noticed that Dallas still looked rather rough. Once downstairs she could smell that Michael & Rick ran the coffee pot al night. Both males and the non=lycan members of the pack sat at tables holding onto weapons and coffee cups. "Thank god your up, I thought we were gonna have to have one of them cook!" Rick said with a wink at her. All of the potentials were recruited for skills like making meth and not for homemaking skills.

Lynn sniffed in distaste. "Then you all would have been useless due to food poisening." She says before briskly walking into the kitchen. In moments sounds of bacon and sausage and eggs could be heard cooking and the smell wafted out of the kitchen as she began cooking everything. While she normally asked for a hand in the kitchen there was no one to spare and she had cooked on her own for everyone before. While she was in the kitchen however she made some chicken soup... or rather stew for Kristy and Dallas, it would give them the meat they needed and would be easy enough to chew and swallo even kristy in as much pain as she was in should be able to handle it easily. Bringing out several huge serving bowls loaded with food she simply set them on the counter along with the plates. "Self serve." She explains before retreating into the kitchen again.

Rick couldn't help but tease the retreating female, "What you have to get burned by silver to get served around here?" He went over and filled a plate followed by most of the others. "I bet Marcus will still have you bring him food." he finished. Knowing that because Marcus was the alpha and all of them served him. Dallas shook his head and took another swig of coffee and opened the newspaper and kept reading.

Lynn walked out with a plate of MArcus's food, while there was no steak because she had no time to make it and she was still a little sqeamish with bloody meat it still looked and smelled fantastic, meaning she had put more effort into it then the other stuff. Though when she came out she also flung a very dirty and wet wrag over Rick's head. It wasn't much more then getting even with him and it was only dirty from the burns and holes in the wrag not from real dirt. Since she couldn't openly challange him this would get him back while still leaving her safe from any kind of return other then vocal teasing perhaps. "Don't be a wet wrag." She said passing them to head upstairs again, The tray she had also had Kristy's food as well and hopefully Shelia would help Kristy eat because Lynn still needed to keep an eye on the food and clean up. Not to mention eat herself. So dropping the food of for Kristy she knocks on the office door.

"Enter, Lynn." came the response from the other side, Marcus had been up for a long while. He knew she would bring his food and she did not disappoint him. The pack would head to Mexico today or tomorrow and he would lose track of Dallas and Lynn until they came back. It would be best to give Lynn some last minute instructions since she would be more apt to follow his wishes. "Set the food down over there and come here, we need to talk about your mission." he said indicated where he stood at the desk.

"Yes Marcus." Lynn replied softly, setting the tray down and walking where he wanted her she wondered what he meant about her mission. Was she being given an assignment? Surely there would be big differences in their life right now because of this... Hunter. But other then that she didn't know why he was being so serious maybe... there wasn't just one hunter? That would explain why everyone was so tense certainly. Lynn didn't get tense, either the pack would deal with it or they would leave. It was the way they had always been so she trusted in those above her to make any descicions.

Marcus placed his hand against her face and looked deep into her eyes, "You and Dallas will leave tomorrow morning. I need you to again keep your ears open for me, I fear Dallas may try to leave our family. Lay with him if you like, using protection of course." Marcus pressed himself closer to her and moved much closer, his hand slid down to her chest. "You will help keep our family together won't you Lynn?" He asked keeping a hint of saddness in his eyes.

"Of course! I'll do everything I can to make sure we stay together!" Lynn says, the very idea of leaving the protection of the pack a little frightening but permanently leaving the pack was far worse. Not to mention now that she had come up against a hunter, even thinking about it made her arm throb in pain, almost as if just thinking about it made it worse. Lynn didn't reject the fondling hand nor did she step away from Marcus, if he wished to couple they would and his musk was thick in the room so it wouldn't be hard to let herself enjoy it.

"I knew I chose well when I brought you into our family." he said licking her neck. "Shall I reward you now Lynn or would you rather when we find our new home?" He slid his hand under her shirt and began to rub again, his other hand slid to her thigh. Her answer would depend on her being taken bent over his desk or laying with him in the new den. Lynn would be paramount in keeping Dallas in the pack, but even Marcus could not deny her body was as pleasing as her cooking.

Lynn's breath hitched and in doing so she intentionally inhaled his scent deeply. Moaning softly she thought that perhaps it would be best to do things now... she would have to start packing and get things ready to go so letting him indulge in her body was fine with her. Though Lynn was no strange to sex anymore it still surprised her slightly that MArcus and even Dallas were so ardent when it came to her. Lynn in return put her injured arm around his back and the other to float down his chest. Softly she licked his shoulder as well not so near the neck but close enough.

Marcus unbuttoned her pants and slid them down, then gently pulled her shirt up and licked her breasts. Turning her around and bending her over the desk he put on protection and slid forward into Lynn. There was something about Lynn's curves and softness that made him enjoy having her. Leaning forward he handled her breasts again and growled lustfully into her ear. "Perhaps I will reward you now and then later as well, maybe even many times when we find a new home." saying as he continued to thrust.

"AH! Ye-es!" Lynn moaned easily she took him inside of her, and as she scrambled for something to grab on the desktop. SHe could only agree after all it wasn't her place to refuse a request from her Alpha, not only that however she did enjoy the pleasure and the somewhat safety she was given when she was chosen to please MArcus. Moaning and gasping her pleasure all thoughts fled from her mind as she was taken not quite roughly but not gently either.

He decided a nice lesiurely screw would calm his nerves, so his thrusts were not rough or hurried. Sliding out and back in at an easy pace, "Lynn what kind of sex did you and Dallas have? Did he take you like this or was he rougher, more demanding?" Reaching down he unhooked her bra and gently puled her nipples, and smiled knowing she was enjoying this. He figured it best to enjoy Lynn before she left with Dallas, maybe he would have her in his bed tonight as well.

"B-both!" Lynn moaned out arching her back, MArcus knew how to handle women and Lynn was no exception. the cold table beneath her and the over hot body of the Alpha on top of her dominating her. She knew it wouldn't take her long. His long strong thrusts making her slide just enough on the desk that her feet were barely touching the ground, just enough to continue support of her rear. Lynn could only feel the pleasure and do her best to answer his questions while they were involved.

As he continued he slow relentless pace he asked more questions, "Did he taste you or you him, I know your taste is sweet and intoxicating. I'm willing to bet it was all he could do not to take you without protection." Marcus pulled out and changed his angle of entrance back into her, feeling her little nub rub against his length. He growled again and licked her neck again, Marcus rarely kissed, he was a wolf after all. "Are you confident you can do as I ask of you, while I am in Mexico?" he asked.

"YYAAAH!!! OH YES!" Lynn cried out as the new angle rubbed her just enough that her body tightened around his own and she gripped the edge of the desk tightly in her hands. HEr body tremored and even as her body covered very lightly in sweat continued to clench tightly around Marcus she gave him her answer. She didn't know how to live without a pack or on her own so she would never dream of leaving it. While there was concern she would which was why Marcus was probably doing this Lynn didn't have any such thoughts.

He continued to stoke her fire and rub along that bundle of nerves, just to keep her honoring him and the family. "Do you wish for my climax Lynn, or would you prefer I continue enjoying your body?" Honestly he didn't care how she answered. She climaxed and he believed in her answer there was no reason to question her loyalty to him. Marcus could feel himself begin to swell and knew he wasn't far off from release.

Lynn continued to writhe beneath him on the desk, her body still tight around him she could only moan and whine, the thick heavy feeling of pleasure in her veins making it impossible for her to think clearly as he stroked her closer and closer to yet another climax. Her face was flushed red and she was panting heavily, her eyes glazed over with pleasure. Afterwords she would wonder why it was Kristy never spoke of being treated the same way Lynn always was and why Shelia almost seemed angry when they were together. Lynn would wonder why she was different, but now all Lynn could do was react to the pleasure she was feeling from Marcus.

Marcus pulled back out and thrust again, giving over and letting his climax come. His hands closed firmly over Lynn's breasts and he began licking the sweat from her skin, savoring the taste and scent of her pleasure. Slowly he stopped thrusting leaving himself buried inside her, "Lynn you have such a wonderful body, bring it to me tonight so we may taste each other and then do this again." Marcus was never really one for oral sex, but something had changed a little when she got back. Maybe she found an appreciation for it while she was with Dallas, he finally pulled out and let her get up.

Lynn groaned having climaxed right along with Marcus she slowly got up from the desk. Her eyes heavy lidded and her hips a little sore from the desks edge. "Yes Marcus." Came the deep throated reply, Lynn was breathing quickly her chest raising and lowering. "There's fresh coffee for you as well." She said as an after thought while pulling her clothing back on. Marcus liked when his girls smelled of him after coupling so she wouldn't go wash. Lest she insult him or incured his anger. She needed to finish in the kitchen anyways so she a slight bow she finished the buttons on her shirt and went for the door.

Shelia was at the door and it didn't take her long to figure out what was going on. And after Lynn left and most likely downstairs she looked at Marcus, "I thought you were done having fun with her? You know she will lay with Dallas while apart from us correct." Marcus raised an eyebrow, "Lynn will keep Dallas in line and make sure my will is done. She is a tool to keep control of the pack, and considering how Dallas has come back into the fold, my plans have been working."
