Chương 15: Tua parte acceptari

"Elias, what are you doing here?" Marin said surprised to see him.

Elias himself was surprised, not by Marin opening the door he was aware that she lived here. No, he was surprised that she was somehow related to Deaton.

"Did you come for your car?" Marin wondered.

"No, we actually have a dinner meeting," Elias spoke with a smile.

"Oh with my brother, come in." Marin stepped to the side allowing both Elias and Elijah to enter. Entering the house the stairs to the right was the first thing they saw, pictures hung on the wall of Deaton and Marin, a couple of pictures held an older couple resembling both Deaton and Marin.

"Marin this is my father Elijah Michaelson," Elias said awkwardly he could already see the small smirk on his father's face.

"It's nice to meet you Mr.Michaelson."

"Dad Marin is the one I went to the party with." Elijah raised an eyebrow hearing that.

"So you're the one...It's nice to meet you, Marin."

Elias frowned knowing what his father meant by that whereas Marin was plainly confused.

"Marin, have the guest arrived?" Deaton yelled from another room.

"You two take your time," Elijah walked past entering the dining room.

"So your father's Elijah Michaelson? I never would have guessed it."

"Yes he is I hope that's not a problem."

"No it's not a problem, but doesn't that make you a Vampire?"

"I don't really know what I am, Does it matter? Do you think I'm some kind of monster now?" Elias frowned looking down at his hands. He understood her reason for asking questions but it was still nerve-wracking. She couldn't really answer, he was a Vampire but he was also a Lycan.

"I'm just curious it's not every day you find out the guy you like is the son of an Original Vampire."

"You like me?" Elias looked up with a smile on his face.

"I wouldn't have made out with you at Lydia's party if I didn't. But if you need proof, "Marin grabbed Elias's shirt pulling him closer. Elias leaned down locking lips with Marin as her body leaned against the wall.

"Was that Proof enough," Marin said through heavy breaths as she broke the kiss.

"Yeah, should we head in now?" Elias stared into her eyes as he cupped her cheek.

"I was actually getting ready to leave when you showed, going to a friend's for the night. You'll be at school tomorrow right?" Elias quickly nodded getting a smile from Marin.

"I'll see you tomorrow then," Marin gave him a quick kiss.

"Oh, I almost forgot," Marin reached in her pocket pulling out a car key. "She's a beauty thanks for letting me drive her." She handed Elias the key before grabbing her bags and heading out the door.

"You need to be careful." Elias turned around surprised to see his dad standing in the doorway.

"Michaelson's and love are two things that have been known to never work out."

"Dinner will be ready in five minutes." Elijah turned around leaving Elias to think about what he had just told him.

After Dinner

"That was great, haven't had a homemade meal since I left Grams."

Deaton smiled hearing the praise he could understand where he was cooking from. It's not like a 1000-year-old vampire focused much on real food when he could drink blood.

"I think it's time we got down to business."

Deaton nodded he was already aware of the real reason they had decided to join him for dinner, It's the reason he sent Marin away.

"If I recall correctly you said you won't tell us anymore unless you are sure you're talking to the Lycan, Correct? How does over go about proving that they are a Lycan?"

"Simple, They would just have to tell me what affects the full moon had on them."

Elijah thought about it for a second before giving his son a quick nod.

"Hunger, Insatiable hunger, a hole in my stomach but no matter how much blood I drank it did nothing to fill it." Elias's eyes turned dark remembering that feeling.

"They call it the first stage and all I can say is that'll get worse."

Both Elias and Elijah's ears perked up hearing that. "How do we control it?"

"You can't? Unless," Deaton paused.

"Unless what?"

"The reason drinking blood did nothing to abate your hunger is simple, blood is something used to quench thirst. You need to eat,"

"Eat what?"

"Flesh, animals, humans anything as long as it's Flesh."

Elias's face scrunched up at that idea, having to eat flesh is something he'd honestly rather not do.

"There's another way," Deaton said starring their attention once again. "Survive the first full moon, fight through that hunger until the next full moon." The first way was the easiest although it has certain side effects. Eating to fill that hole easier but the amount you would have to eat. Not to mention the chance of someone losing control, attacking anything in sight to fill their stomach. They would be no different than a rabid dog.

"I think I'll take my chances with the second option," Elias said absolutely hating the idea of having to eat raw animals. The thought of eating a human never crossed his mind.

"You said they called it the First stage how many more are there?"

"Three stages in total, each encompassing the time before a full moon. The first stage from what I've heard has already begun, the second stage is even worse than the first. Your instincts will fight for control, disobeying means horrifying pain. The final stage can either be the easiest stage or the hardest. In the past when Lycans flourished The third stage also known as Tua parte acceptari Lycan meant everything to newly changed Lycans."

"The acceptance of one's Lycan Side," Elijah said clearing things up for Elias.

"Exactly, just as Werewolf packs now have a hierarchy system so did the Lycans. The weakest, Omegas even the weakest of Omegas would destroy an alpha werewolf. Next was the Delta's, anyone above an Omega would be classified as a Delta. Delta's were the most plentiful of the pack above them was the Beta. Second in command only to the Alpha, when the alpha is away the Beta would take control of the pack until he returned. Alpha's were the highest in the social hierarchy, known as the wisest and the strongest of the Pack."

Deaton paused getting a drink of water, "This brings me back to stage three, Newly transitioned Lycans would follow a rite of passage by joining a pack. Newly transitioned Alpha's would create a pack by accepting other Lycan's or werewolves into their pack."

"So I just need to accept someone into my pack?" Elias frowned only thinking of one person he wouldn't mind joining his pack.
