“So if the three need to be together,” William shaking his head; unable to fathom what Tachibana just said; “who get to be stuck with them after today?”
“You make it sound like a chore,” Martha answering.
“Three rutting were’s,” William shaking his head; “with the urge to hunt after sex?”
“Hunt,” Benton looking up: “what did my daughter do last night?”
“Went hunting with Spencer and Eric last night,” William sighing; “they took down a four point buck and-“
“Okay,” Benton shaking his head smiling; “no need to give any more info, I get the picture.”
“What picture,” Amanda looking confused.
Benton grins as he looks at his wife; making a motion with his paws to his maw, he implies they ate some venison.
“Their version of a midnight snack,” William chuckling; “after having lamb for supper.”
“Some snack,” Amanda rolling her eyes.
“Gutsy,” Benton laughing; “dam gutsy of our children.” Coming down on his laughter, “getting back to who gets to mind them after today; Frieda’s grandparents are coming over to visit. They will want to see their granddaughter.”
“Guess that also means,” William chuckling; “they’ll be meeting her boyfriend and girlfriend as well.”

Spencer, feeling winded from running to the other side of the town without taking a break; she comes to a non-descript building with several vehicles already parked by it. Closing her flashing green eyes, Spencer breathes in and out repeatedly; sifting through the various scents of the many weres that are coming from the building. Opening her eyes and smiling; Spencer knows she has found Eric and Frieda. Their scent coming strong as well as their emotional connection to her; Spencer makes a mad dash to the building, her digitigrade paws piercing the fresh snow making the usual crunching noise as it compacts under her weight.

“I’ll arraign to have security to ensure the children are safe,” Tachibana answering
“That will not be necessary,” Benton responding; “no were or normal would be foolish enough to come to my estate uninvited.”
“It’s for Eric, Spencer and Frieda’s protection,” Tachibana answering.
“I doubt they need protection,” Lance speaking up; “I saw how Eric reacted to Julie running to him and Frieda. He was clearly ready to fight and not afraid to rend flesh with his claws. Plush I hear Spencer knows how to fight thanks to her father.”

Spencer arrives at the main entrance of the building; placing her paw on the metal door she opens it up and heads inside. Looking at the main room and seeing the security desk manned by several werewolves. Looking apprehensive as the guards notice her and immediately making a call on her radio; Spencer thinking its backup, starts to tense up. Instead of the security guards making a move to approach her; Spencer sees a were-tigress enter the front area and approach her.
“Spencer Lawson? I’m Lila Carpenter,” the were-tigress responding while presenting and outstretched paw; “please come this way, Eric and Frieda are waiting for you.”
As Spencer was being led to the common area, she hears both Eric and Frieda shout her name as they quickly bound to her. Lila seeing the three were together; withdraws silently, not wanting to interfere with their reunion.
“I came as fast as I could,” Spencer purring as she was embraced by Eric and Frieda; “neither of you are hurt now?”
“Just rattled nerves,” Eric immediately calming down; “Seeing Julie just set me off, I wanted to-.”
“I know,” Spencer sensing Eric and Frieda feeling less agitated; “I sensed your anger and felt compelled to be with you.”
“Won’t you get in trouble with the principal,” Frieda hugging Spencer; “we heard you took off shortly after getting to school?”
“That has been taken care of,” Tachibana approaching; “but let me remind you young lady, you are not to shift again during the daylight. We have these rules for a reason.” Looking at Eric and Frieda; “and it’s clear you two are looking a lot better then what you did thirty minutes ago.”
“I guess Spencer has that effect on us,” Frieda seeing her parents and Eric's parents approaching.
“It’s more than that,” Tachibana answering; “but that talk can wait. Right now your parents would like to talk with you.”
