The blood of werewolves

"And she wasn't just an unseen goddess like Selena. Our grandfather's all saw her during the peace treaty. Legend has it that she was too beautiful that she was kept in a room by her subjects, never let out so she wouldn't be seen by anyone other than them. They spoilt her rotten."

"How beautiful was she? Did you know how she looked like!! Wow! I wish I could see her!" Nancy suddenly yelled, cutting into her narration.

Talia just smiled at her and patted her hand at her energetic questions and excitement while Kaon finally looked up from his meal and glared at her.

Why was she acting like such a ... kid?

"I don't know what happened to their Iñari … it's been such a while; we almost thought they'd gone into extinction. And I really hope they have because those things are really dangerous…"

The teenagers exchanged glances before Royce quietly inquired.

"So…how did we sign a treaty with them."

"I'm coming to that. In those days, Kitsunes were born without a tail at first. But when they did earn a tail, they had their first general power which was the ability to turn human. As time progresses, there are supernatural abilities which would be attributed to them…that is…depending on the number of tails they have."

Alpha Justin's fork clattered noisily on his plate as he finished with the last morsel of food before he said.

"They believe that when they do something evil or preposterous, their Iñari would bless them with a tail. But I think those foxes were just damn trickish and devious!!!"

"They had a lot of powers," Ciara resumed and everyone focused their gaze on her once more while Stacey leaned over and refilled the Alpha's plate. "There were many types of Kitsunes classified under their elements. I think there were 11 elements."

"Thirteen". Everyone turned to Koan who hadn't even looked up upon correcting her but finally did, not looking anyone in the eyes, his face as strong as a rock, his cold narrowed obsidian black eyes an accessory to his Stony face. It was like he was forced to talk. "Heaven, Dark, wind, spirit, fire, earth, river, Ocean, Mountain, Forest, thunder, time and sound."

There was a moment of silence as their jaws slightly dropped at his firm answer. He didn't even stutter or dart his eyes like he was thinking of the next word.

Beta Raiden felt proud when they couldn't keep their eyes off his Alpha.

But Koan went back to eating, noisilessly chewing his food, ignoring them all.

"Thank you Alpha Koan." Ciara commented and went on. "They had their own special abilities according to their elements but generally, Kitsunes could do alot of things. They had the power of possession. They could shape shift," She missed the eye communication between the young ones again. "And…do you know the most horrific part. The Kitsunes loved certain strange meals. They ate fried tofu but the one thing they loved to feed on more than anything was the blood of werewolves."

There wasn't really much of a surprise when it came to the adults but a look of amusement fell on their face at the horror stricken looks on the teenager's faces.

"You're…not just telling us this to... scare us, right? Mum she's joking, right?" Brittany said, not realizing when she squeezed Royce's arm. He winced.

"I'm afraid so honey. Luna Ciara is right. They fed on humans as well…they fed on their souls but that'd be through sexual intercourse and since that required too much energy, they settled for the blood of a werewolf."

"The witches could only go into hiding since they weren't much of a threat to the Kitsunes but they gave the Werewolves some tips when it came to subduing them. They couldn't tell us how to kill them since they were immortals and could never die but the only way to trap one as long as forever was by chopping off all their tails, rendering them powerless."

"What about those that had about a 100 and more."

"They had to cut them all off as well and the werewolves sprung into action when they learnt of this and they began trapping the Kitsunes this way."

Everyone (Except the Alphas) had stopped eating a while ago, elbows on the table as they leaned forward in complete enthusiasm, not letting any word get passed them.

Naomi didn't even know when she felt relaxed against the wall listening to the Luna's calm voice.

"Soon, a serious war broke out between two creatures and that's when the dragons came in."

Naomi finally perked up at that.

"It turns out that the Kitsune just kept surprising us more and more. A Kitsune could transform into a dragon once it earns 100 tails. And at 1000, it's legal enough to be the next Iñari."

"That meant the current Iñari had 1000 tails. Did she participate in the war?!"

"Oh no," Ciara chuckled. "We never really saw her. The Kitsunes were strict when it came to protecting her especially when we figured out her weakness. They didn't let her come out. They even had her locked up only to serve the purpose of being admired."

"Her subjects are crazy!!" Daniel pointed out.

However, the witches came out of hiding when we were dying like rats. Everyday we reduced by a half. All seven packs, yes…including the rival packs all joined forces along with the witches and we figured out a way to kill a Kitsune."
