 It was that time again when Damien needed to let his inner wolf vent a bit and being an alpha he had to do so often so that his pent-up rage and frustrations that just spontanously explode injuring innocents in the process. Shifting even when it wasn't absolutely necessary was a good way really to vent and release one's stress and anger built up after a long and hard day. He could remember a time when he was afraid of shifting and losing control in the process. He was so young then it was only natural to have such fears when it was nearly impossible to control one's changes especially on a full moon. He wasn't sure if joinign a pack was a good idea but in the end it had really helped him out even if in the end it all fell apart leaving him all alone again. He'd never planned on becoming an Alpha really being a leader just didn't seem to fit him really but it was thrust upon him so suddenly and ever since he made sure not to abuse his gift for the wrong reasons. He learned to accept who and what he really was now and if a cure was available for his kind he wasn't really sure he would ever want such a thing he was content with who and what he was now. Since coming to stay in Las Vegas for the time being he would come out to Lake Mead to vent and shift into a werewolf since it was more secluded and empty at night unlike at the park closer to the city. He'd yet to really run into one of his own kind around here though he was sure there were a few around hiding somewhere probably but he'd leave them be unless they wanted to meet him themselves. He stood at the water's edge looking at his own reflection now his irises glowing red he hadn't completely shifted into his full werewolf form but his ears had become pointy and his canines more pronounced now finegrnails like claws his sideburns grown out and bushy now. Then he clenched his fists tight and arching back throwing his head back as he looked to the night sky now he let out a deafening alpha roar now and did so for a good minute before stopping as he heard footsteps nearby now and picked up the scent of a werewolf no doubt in the area and investigating his roar now. By the scent he could tell it was a male and a young one at that but kept his back to him for now as he relaed his fists now retracting his claws now and finally turned around to face his guest now. |

Romulus was out attempting to get a moving truck set up for his and Myra's move to California. Mostly though he was just out getting a last look at the city. He'd never been out of the city except for Messor missions and well that was work related not for pleasure so he was going to enjoy the drive over there or did Myra say they were flying? He couldn't remember either way this was his last look at the city and he wanted to drink it in. His reverie was shattered as an unearthly howl ripped through the night which was saying something Vegas wasn't a quiet city so anything that could drown out the sounds of the Casino's and revelry of tourists was not human. the howl sent a quake up his spine raising his hackles he gave a deep growl as his eyes glowed yellow. He looked in the direction of the howl and took off in that direction that was an alpha call he didn't know how he knew that he just did and it rubbed him the wrong way. Who was this man to call out in such a way in his city as far as he knew there were no werewolf packs in Vegas so who was he calling for? He ran out to Lake Mead before slowing stalking up on this man as he caught his scent. He wasn't from around here that much was certain. he weaved his way through the trees before chancing upon him. "There are no packs in this city so why are you calling for one?" He asked. His eyes still yellow as he watched the man before him.

He didn't really think it'd cause any problems or issues being out here like he was he didn't think too many werewolves would be around here usually when they came out to shift they did so alone unless they were part of a pack. Moving here he'd checked into that but there weren't really any packs around here far as he knew he was the only alpha around though he had heard of one in New York City while visiting there but he had no interest in really meeting with him right now alpha meetings usually didn't go well or well at least the one he had been near hadn't that guy had been a total ass and tried to have their whole pack killed refusing to coexist together. It wasn't the way he really wanted to become an Alpha being forced to kill his own alpha and for what? Now he was alone abandoned by them they trusted him sure but not enough to follow him as an Alpha just yet. So here he was partially shifted and alone decided to test his roar as strong and powerful as he could. He didn't expect an answer really but soon enough he heard footsteps approaching a male werewolf and a rather annoyed one at that as he looked back to him now slowly reverting to normal now though his irises still glowed red and not the normal yellow of a non-beta werewolf. "Heh sorry about that really. I was just how here preparing for a shift and was testing my voice as an alpha really. Sorry if I disturbed you mate," Damien replied smiling sheepishly as he rubbed the back of his neck a little now. "Why's your wolf so stressed out and anxious though? Have you been ignoring him or not shifting enough y'know that's not good for you really?" Damien asked somehow he could just sense one's inner wolf and the mood they were in and his inner wolf was rather tense and stressed out right now for some reason.

Romulus had no idea why he came here what did he care if this guy called for a pack in a couple more days he wouldn't even be here anymore so why? It was instinct he supposed he'd been here so long that the thought of someone starting a pack rubbed his wolf the wrong way. "No I rushed here without thinking." he said noting the guy's red eyes no doubt an alpha or a former one, still he didn't care. he was going to walk away when the man mentioned his wolf. He turned around to look at this guy. "My wolf is none of your concern who are you?" He said turning around this man had peaked his interest how was he able to tell what his wolf was feeling. "I try not to shift more than once a month people get hurt around monsters like us." he said crossing his arms. He'd come to accept what he was and he was a monster he would embrace it when need be, but other than that he kept his shifts to a minimum besides as soon as Myra and him were moved into their new home there would be plenty of time for shifts. This man made him uneasy and at the same time calmer. He didn't like this there was a reason he didn't spend time with his own kind one werewolf was violent, two were destructive a whole pack was Armageddon and if that is what this man meant to do in Las Vegas he was glad he was leaving.

Damien could only wonder why the guy seemed so irked when he came here himself loking a little annoyed with him as was his inner wolf. Being a packless werewolf his alpha call really had no effect on him since he was packless and even if he had a pack it wouldn't effect him if he answered to a different Alpha already. Only a beta or member of his own pack marked by him or turned by him would be effected by his call or commands as an alpha werewolf. It seemed in the end instincts led him here but it didn't seem to be to challenge him but more of curiosity maybe from his inner wolf who sought help for his side the two were clearly struggling with each other and bringing up said inner wolf seemed to annoy the man further as he was ready to leave only to stop and face him again now. The only realy different between an alpha and a lesser werewolf or beta was their size and the power of their roar he wasn't sure why his irises seemed to change after becoming an alpha whenever he got ready to shift or really angry they would glow like they did he'd never really met another alpha who could do that it made him unique he guessed. Then he was asked who he was naturally before he was told how he feared changing and hurting others and nodded at that before deciding to reply finally. "I'm Damien Wolf and being an Alpha well just lets me connect with one's inner wolf somehow I can feel and sense how they feel which tells me a lot about the werewolf in general. You treat him like a monster and that's why you fear shifting because he's always frustrated and angry with you. If you learned to truly accept and embrace him you could control you shifts better and retain control as a werewolf. It helps to have something worth protecting deeply like love," Damien replied rubbing the back of his neck a little now. "Trust me I've been through this as well at your age and being alone for as long as I have been and packless has taught me a lot about this." Damien added looking to the night's sky now. Denying one's wolf was like being trapped in your own body with someone else at the wheel joining a pack had been the best thing ever for him really it taught him control and retraint how to truly tame his inner wolf and make his gift a blessing.

Romulus was losing interest, but something about this guy was keeping him here and he didn't like it, but it wouldn't go away he should be getting back to Myra soon. Soon the man known as Damien introduced himself. Romulus growled. "He is a monster it's simple as that and I am his cage." He could feel his wolf clawing at his mind. it drove him mad some days he was so angry all the time he felt wrong in his own skin he didn't want to be this way. Maybe this man here could help. "you seem more put together than most wolves I meet." He said then again in their defense most of the wolves he met were trying to do him in and him the same. "Well if you are such an expert what do you suggest?" He said leaning against a tree waiting for an answer. he didn't trust this guy, but he was a werewolf like himself a packless werewolf at that so maybe he had something to offer him that most others wouldn't. "My name is Romulus Lupercus a werewolf from Italy." He said when a thought came to him his mother had been a werewolf maybe this man knew her. It was a long shot he knew, but he would kick himself if he didn't at least ask. "My mother was a werewolf her name was Diana, Diana Lupercus after she married my father do you know of her?" he asked looking at him.

Damien wasn't blind he could see Romulus was losing interest now and wanted to leave yet something probably his wolf kept him here trying to force his stubborn human side to seek help finally. Honestly he'd let him go if he wanted to go he wouldn't force him to stay against his will or fight him to make him stay that just wasn't who he was really like alphas were forcing members into their pack or to face death for intruding in their territory. "Your problem young wolf is you treat your wolf like he's his own being but he's not. He's the real you a part of your soul and until you accept that he will continue to try and take control of you until he kills everything you love or gets you killed." Damien simply replied though it irked him to no end that this guy called his inner wolf a monster. He wanted so hard to punch him for that but he kept his cool and composure he'd never make a friend or ally out of him if he attacked him like that. "I've been around long enough to be able to come to terms with my wolf and make him my greatest ally and power to protect all that I cherish. Still I'm not perfect mind you I've stumbled along the way just as you have so I've been there," Damien replied as he stood now and exhaled as he stretched a little now. He could understand his skepticism though most turned werewolves treated themselves like monsters and liked to abuse their curse their gift to enforce their will and strength over other wolves just to beat them up or boss them around. He usually tried to avoid those but sometimes his hand was forced and even had killed a few who refused to surrender and lose to him whether he was an Alpha or not. "At some point I suggest you take a walkabout with me someplace private and secluded from the world. There we can help you come to terms with your wolf and who you truly are as a whole," Damien replied looking up as he then gave his name in return and smiled at that. "L'uomo mi manca un po 'di cibo italiano vero genuino mio amico," Damien suddenly said in Italian now as he sighed a little american italian food was good but it lacked that spice his mother used to give it. He was broken from his sad revere as he was asked about Romulus's parents now. "Oh yes I met her during my brief return to Italia to visit my parent's graves. She cheered me up when I was really down about visiting my parent's grave she was there visiting her mother I think," he replied scratching the back of his head a little now. He'd been so sad and angry she managed to calm him down and make him understand that they were free and in a better place watching over him now and that really helped him in the end.
Translation
L'uomo mi manca un po 'di cibo italiano vero genuino mio amico --- Man I really miss some real homecooked italian food my friend

Romulus looked at him this was probably the longest conversation he'd had with a fellow werewolf, he didn't know what to say exactly. He was telling him his true self was a monstrous wolf bent on destruction and death. "Well if you're trying to ease my worries that didn't help." He said as he looked at the Lycan before him with even more skepticism. This guy truly believed what he said to be true or at least that was the sense Romulus got from him, and he was inclined to believe it after all this man was old far older than any wolf he'd met and one didn't live that long by being stupid. He gritted his teeth a little before listening to his proposal. "Where and when?" He asked simply. "I don't think you have all the answers I want, but I don't think I'll be able to leave here without at least seeing with my own eyes whether you can help." He said as he looked at him and then he spoke Italian to him and very old Italian the words and dialect suggested he was a very old Italian. "Questo è davvero il momento di parlare di cibo?" He asked skeptically looking the man up and down. Here they were having a rather serious conversation and he starts talking about food. His eyes and voice softened at the mention of his mother. "Possedeva un cuore gentile." He said reverently before clearing his throat.
Translation: Is this really the time to be talking about food?
Translation: She possessed a gentle heart.

Not too many packless werewolves really wanted anything to do with Damien that much. Most were content with their lives so when an Alpha came around they got nervous and either ran from him or attacked him to drive him off. He wasn't really out to interfere in their lives he just missed the social interaction with his own kind and being apart of a pack. The concept of having and leading his own pack still felt a little foreign to him right now so he decided just to do what he could for now to help out any fellow werewolves he came across and tonight that seemed to be Romulus who despite hs tough and rather abrasive standoffish attitude seemed to want help more than refusing it like most usually did by now. "I'm just being real with you man. Things with your wolf will only get worse the more and more you refuse him instead of facing him and coming to terms with him," Damien replied he wouldn't lie or tell Roronora what he wanted to hear. He'd tell him the truth and what he needed to hear that he couldn't run forever because eventually he'd lose control at the wrong time and his wolf would strike at anyone even those closest to him like a wife or his children if he ever managed to have his own family by then. "Someplace where no innocents will be hurt where I can watch you and keep my eye on you and guide you from time to time. There you will be left alone for a month by yourself you'll either learn to coexist with your wolf in order to survive or become even more of a monster as you call it," Damien replied as he asked where and when they would do this now before shaking his head a little. "I never claimed to know everything my friend but I will help you get through this it's my job as an Alpha," Damien added patting him on the back a little now. He would never lie and say he did he could use what he had learned through his own trials for Roronora to use as a guide for his own struggles now. "c'è sempre tempo per il miglior cibo italiano di mio fratello," Damien simply replied chuckling a little bit now. The mention of his mother though seemed to bring a sad shadow over the man and his wolf as well. "lei è felice e in un posto migliore con tuo padre ora mio fratello sa che ti amano e lasciatevi guidare," Damien said now nodding his head a little as he looked to the stars now. "Somewhere up there my family is watching over me too. I can see my mother scolding me when I act so reckless and my father being proud I'm a man now," he spoke softly now before smiling sheepishly rubbing the back of his neck a little now.
c'è sempre tempo per il miglior cibo italiano di mio fratello --- there is always time for the best Italian food of my brother
lei è felice e in un posto migliore con tuo padre ora mio fratello sa che ti amano e lasciatevi guidare --- she's happy and in a better place with your father now my brother know that they love you and let that guide you

He sounded like an addiction counselor so now he felt more like a patient than a one friend confiding in another, but whatever he had to take the good with the bad. Then he mentioned him losing control and hurting his children or Myra. This is why he didn't keep that many friends outside of Dash. He knew the Djinn could hold his own against him even restrain if need, but he was worried about Myra he wasn't sure she could take him down if need be not because she was weak, but because she loved him too much. "A month?! Where could we disappear to for that long without having to worry about hurting any humans?" He said his skeptical look returning. A month that was too long he couldn't stay away from Myra that long this plan was starting to look less and less appealing to him. Still if it could keep him from hurting those closest to him he was obligated to try. Well it was obvious this guy was a true back in the day Italian his father hadn't exactly been a small man. "I suppose you have a point." This guy was a toss up at one point he was serious and the next he was a complete stooge. "Fine I'll take this training, but only after I've settled my affairs meet me in California in two weeks." He should be done moving in with Myra and have a little time to explain what he was about to do.

Damien didn't really know if he had a mate or not but still he used it as motivation to help Romulus want to better himself and have a real reason for making peace with his wolf. It was easy for one wolf and female wolf to connect but that didn't mean his wolf wouldn't still hurt her human side if Romulus lost control to him. He was sure he had a few friends but those weren't really helpful if they weren't werewolves themselves they couldn't relate or understand him really like another werewolf could. He was trying in his own subtle way to find out if he had a mate and it seemed all the signs were there now he had a she-wolf in his life and feared her getting hurt by his wolf that alone would be enough motivation for him to do this. "I was just trying to find a good motivation for you and I have this she-wolf needs to be your drive for doing this think of the future you can have if you do," Damien said before waving off his question about the month. "A month is a bit much I guess so perhaps for a week out of month we can meet up and work on your issues at your pace man. After us we Italians gotta stick together man no one gets us better than ourselves," Damien replied running a hand through his hair now. The look in his eyes seemed to suggest that he was coming around and really wanted to do this now which he was glad for. He wasn't too far gone really there was still hope for him if he was willing and he was so that would make things easier for him but he would try not to push him too much or he'd cause more damage than good really and simply nodded at that as he looked back to Romulus now. "That's fine really no rush my friend. I'm sure your in a rush to get back to your lady so I don't really want to hold you up too much longer now," Damien simply replied and extended a hand to him and once taken he would grab his wrist making him do the same to himself as he slide his hand up some and shook that way as brothers of a wolf pack usually did. "Be well brother stay safe," Damien said now before letting him go.
OOC: end it there or timeskip man?

Romulus was still skeptical, but he was willing to give it a try after all what did he have to lose? This Damien wasn't asking for much after all, so why not give it a chance. If this did pan out at least he wouldn't have to worry about his wolf acting up or losing control. The more he thought about it the more he found himself liking the idea of it. He shook his head. "No a month is fine I'd rather do this all in one go rather than string it out." He said looking at him. "You seem alright Damien." He said as he looked at Damien. "You got that right." He said as he then shook hands with the other Lycan before leaving. He'd spent too much time here already, but at least he respected his need to be with his woman before he pursued anything for himself. Of course if he told Myra right away what he was doing and why he had to leave he was sure that she would let him, but he wanted to give her some time so they could settle into their home and have some quality time together before he set off once again.
