Chapter 9: Homecoming

Three weeks have passed; the Toby and Zoe's popularity began to catch fire throughout the town. Zoe played the last three games by herself and their team still dominated the field. The students were intrigued by Toby's miraculous recovery from the assassination attempt. Rumors were spread that Jesuit fans were so upset that they tried to kill him.

The atmosphere was abuzz when the school paper announced that Toby would be returning in the homecoming game. After the spirit week assembly, Toby prowled the halls after school looking for his prey completely ignoring the eyes on him. Sasha was at her locker quickly rushing to organize her area unsuspecting the big bad wolf lurking about.

She slammed the door shut and jumped at the sight of a wolf peering at her with hungry eyes and an insidious smirk on his lips. "Toby!" she shrieked grabbing onto her chest. He had been gaining some muscle mass as of late, as Zoe had been putting him through a strength training regimen.

He approached her and set his hands on her shoulders. "You want to go to homecoming with me?" he asked softly.

Her face went completely red as she watched all eyes on them. Her heart began to race and she gulped. "Yes!" she shouted before she smiled at him. "You scared me there" she told him before she shoved her palm into his chest. "Don't sneak up on me like that!" she said with a smile.

She brushed a strand of hair from her face and looked into his eyes deeply. "So, Are we going to go to Champoeg tonight?" she asked.

He smirked. "You think your parents would let us on a school night?" he asked.

She laughed at him. "Of course they will. They really like you" she said before she slung her backpack over her shoulder. She batted her eyes at him as she grabbed his hand and dragged him down the halls to the back of the school.

She backed him into a wall before she pressed her body up against his and reached up to caress his face wanting to have some intimacy with him. He leaned in giving her the opportunity to plant a gentle kiss on his jawline. "I can't wait to tell them" she said as he growled into her ear seductively. They looked over at a group of freshmen gawking at the spectacle, which Sasha blushed before Toby wrapped an arm around her and shot them an extremely hostile glare.

The freshmen scurried off before he reached up to run his fingers through her hair. She clutched onto his chest firmly and murred happily before Zoe walked up behind them smirking.

"I hate to interrupt you love birds, but did I just happen to hear that you two were going ghost hunting alone?" she asked before she gave a mischievous grin. "Sounds like the perfect setting to get up close" she said before she snickered to herself.

She put her hands behind her back and approached them smirking. "It's a big place...maybe I can lead the crew around?" she said before she looked over at Clare who was just arriving.

He looked up at them and sighed. "Well, if that's the case. Maybe bringing Jean along would help" he said.

Zoe snickered. "Jean would probably enhance the activity wouldn't he?" she asked.

Sasha pulled away and smiled. "He might..." she said.

"So who's Jean?" Clare asked.

Zoe grinned. "He's our French translator..." she said.

Kari approached them with a scrawny nerd who was staring at Toby and Zoe in shock. "Wait, they are in the club too!?" he shouted. He was not too sure about having jocks in their club until Sasha and Clare gave him the most intimidating glances making it seem that he was in the wrong.

Kari nodded. "Hai" she said before she pointed nudged him. "Karera wa ?kami desu" she told him.

Toby and Zoe looked between them as the nerd looked confused himself. "Wait, like literally wolves?" he asked.

Kari's head sank and sighed. "Just forget it, you'll find out soon enough" she said.

Sasha sighed heavily. "I was thinking about getting there around seven. We can all meet at my place at 6:30" she said before she looked towards Toby and smiled at him. He looked at her slightly irritated at being disturbed, but she slapped him over the chest. "Come on and mush!" she teased him. The group stared as them as she drag him away.

•••

They rushed back to her home where her dog was barking and pawing at the fence. Sasha unlocked the door to her home lead him inside. She looked back and smiled at him as he tossed his backpack aside and sat down on the couch after setting his longboard against the arm rest. She laid her backpack next to his before she slyly sat on his lap sideways and wrapped an arm around his massive torso.

He smirked as she began to trace the muscles in his chest, and her eyes wondered about his body. He gulped as he ran his fingers up her side, and she watched him carefully. She bit her lip as his hand touched the side of her buxom before she took his hand moving it over. She laughed at his expression as she coaxed him to knead them.

He gulped as he massaged her chest, which she looked up into his eyes deeply. She reached up and pulled him to plant a kiss on his cheek. He instinctively grabbed the back of her head and moved in to press his lips against hers with a deep dominant growl. Her eyes widened with pleasant surprise before she stroked the side of his face giving into his smooch.

When their lips parted, she blushed at him. "I thought that kissing you on the lips would put me at risk?" she asked.

He smirked at her. "No...it takes more than that" he said before she giggled and returned his smooch.

He transformed slightly as his arousal made him lose focus with the outside world, and he began tugging at her lip with his fang. He murred periodically, and her nipples poked through the padding in her bra as her hand began to wonder lower. Their make out session was rudely disrupted as Todd barged inside. They looked up at Todd's horrified expression as Toby quickly reverted into his human form. Sasha gulped pulling her hand from her boyfriend's crotch before her mother walked in with groceries.

She looked at son confused before she looked towards her daughter in Toby's lap tangled up with him. She shook her head at them with a smile, but she said nothing as she set the bag of groceries on the table. Todd looked between Toby and his sister in a daze, which his sister quickly brought up the perfect distraction.

"Toby asked me out to Homecoming!" She blurted out.

Her mother beamed with pride. "Oh, my baby girl is finally going to go to Homecoming!" she squealed. She came up to her and giggled gleefully. "We're going to have to find you a dress!" she shouted.

Sasha smiled. "Let's go tomorrow. Our club is going to Champoeg tonight" she said.

Her mother looked at Toby intensely, and he looked back at her. "Be back before ten" she told them firmly. She paused for a moment before she went into the kitchen to stow away the groceries. "I'll be looking for a dress online" she said.

Toby got up and stretched. "You know, we should at least start working on Bio" he said as he walked near Todd.

Sasha smiled and nodded as she led him upstairs. "Maybe you can help me with bringing a dish for Oktoberfest this week" she said.

Her mother poked her head out. "Oh and Leave your door open!" she reminded them before she looked towards Todd. "What's wrong?" she asked.

He frowned and scuttled up to her. "I think Toby's a monster" he said lowly.

She laughed at him. "Why don't you go walk Makita?" she asked.

He scowled at her. "No one believes me!" he muttered to himself as he stomped off to the back door. His mother laughed and shook her head before she walked up to check on Toby and Sasha. She poked her head in as they were talking about the food chain and food web.

"No, no...It's difficult for a species to go beyond Quaternary Consumers. It's not enough energy and they'd go extinct. Look, each step you go down the chain, there's only ten percent left from the previous one" Toby told Sasha.

Her mother smiled. "Wow, Toby's really smart" she said.

Toby and Sasha both looked up from their laptops, which Sasha smiled. "Yea, you know he's taking integral calculus?" she asked.

Her mother's eyes widened before she grinned. "Well...I'll let you two study" she said before she walked away beaming with pride.

•••

Later in the evening, Toby's mother came over and spoke to Sasha's mother, and they both giggled uncontrollably as his mother was given the news about him asking Sasha out to the dance. Toby sighed heavily as he exited out of his laptop, and Sasha looked over at him happily. "You're really quick with homework" she said before she leaned into him. "You're a really good kisser" she said as she looked up at him with a satisfied smile.

He looked at her and chuckled. "But that was just one kiss" he said.

She laughed at him. "It was almost like a hundred Toby" she said before she reached up to touch his neck. "I like it. Everything felt so...natural and passionate" she said.

He blushed. "I felt the same way" he said.

She grinned. "I can't wait for even more kisses" she told him before she pulled him in for another smooch. When she pulled away, she let out a contented sigh. "You barely transformed those last couple of times" she commented.

He nodded. "Yea...I think it's because I'm not holding back my instincts as much" he said.

She snickered to herself. "I trust your instincts...I know you won't hurt me" she said before she pushed into him playfully. "I feel safe with you" she told him with longing eyes as she stroked his chest.

He averted her gaze and blushed. "Well, I'm a big bad wolf. I'll maul anyone's face if they hurt you" he said before he looked back at her with a cheeky grin.

"Rawr" she said playfully.

•••

Meanwhile Bernie was under an overpass that stood over railroad tracks and an expressway. State troopers had the blockaded the overpass and the expressway, while a curtain was held up to block the gruesome sight from passengers in the WES commuter rail trains. A train had stopped on the tracks having run over a person whose severed parts still lay on the tracks.

The state troopers and deputies were busy taking pictures of the scene, while Bernie focused on interviewing the engineer and conductor of the train. They were dazed and confused, and Bernie looked towards the other bodies in front of a wide pedestal that held up the intersection above. On the pedestal were smears of the victims' blood that read, "Who's afraid of the big bad wolf?"

He scribbled in his notepad his observations as the interview went on. "We called it in earlier this morning. Everyone thought it was a scaled up Halloween prank and just left it. This was the same spot those kids hung a dummy off the bridge last year" the engineer said before he gulped. "We didn't know that it was real until one of them got up and fell onto the tracks!" he said quickly.

Bernie stared at him. "How long was this out here?" he asked.

"It was here before our first run. We got there around 5:45 in the morning...but it wasn't there last night" the conductor said.

"When was that?" Bernie asked.

"I would say about 7:45" the conductor answered.

Bernie growled. "Stay here!" he told them before he walked up to a Lieutenant who was talking to his colleagues. "This reeks of the Big bad killers' calling card, Lieutenant" he said.

The Lieutenant looked at him sternly. "Killers?" he questioned.

Bernie looked towards the scene. "Look, there's no drag marks...no gunshot wounds. These bodies are too close for one person to hack them down..." he said before he looked towards the body on the tracks. "Or only witness is now hamburger meat" he said before he looked up at the writing on the wall.

"We can't just call these animal attacks anymore! Animals don't carve symbols into their prey's foreheads, they don't finger paint messages in their prey's blood...and they absolutely don't waste their prey's meat!" He told him.

A black van with tinted window pulled up with US government plates, and Bernie looked towards a scared up sunglasses man dressed in a black suit and tie. The sunglasses man walked up to Bernie and held out his hand with a smug grin. "Sheriff Cooper...how have you been?" he asked.

The Lieutenant looked between them. "You two know each other?" he asked.

The sunglasses man nodded. "Of course I do" he said as more suited men and women boarded the train. "I know all the key players in my jurisdiction" he said before he motioned for Bernie to follow him.

Bernie entered the government van much to the Lieutenant's annoyance. Inside the van were various weapons and surveillance technology. There was a loud gunshot as one of the men shot down a drone. The sunglasses man removed his glasses and looked Bernie squarely in the eye. "How is that Alpha of yours doing?" he asked.

Bernie raised an eyebrow. "He's alive..." he said lowly.

The man frowned. "I need you to be my eyes and ears. You're the only one I can trust right now! No one else in your clan seems to want to work with me" he said.

Bernie shook his head. "You did nothing to protect, Steele...not even warn him. That's a brilliant strategy to make good wolf relations, Don" he scolded him.

Don sighed. "It's not that I didn't want to...our job is to conceal and contain...it's not to be your intelligence" he said before he rubbed his forehead. "I didn't set the bylaws, I just follow them" he said.

Bernie closed his eyes and crossed his arms over his chest. "You realize that a lack of communication gives an advantage to your enemy right? If you don't share your information then we can't coordinate with your organization, plain and simple" he said.

Don looked up at him. "I don't disagree with you but..." he said.

Bernie snarled at him. "There are no buts! You aren't a robot! If you want me to work with you, you got to work with me!" he raised his voice.

Don cringed. "Alright...but just...keep this to yourself for now" he said before he pulled out a folder that said, "top secret"

"We've been tracking Ian's movements since his retreat, but he's been making our jobs a living hell in the 80's and 90's. You may have heard about the Elkhorn sightings?" he said as he opened the folder. "Ian has been gaining some support from the werewolf community especially in the red states" he said.

Bernie sighed. "I can see why they would support his cause" he said.

Don frowned. "The fact is he's murdering people. You know as much as I do that this will only demonize your people" he said.

"Why are you worried about Toby?" Bernie asked.

Don raised an eyebrow. "I never said I was" he said before he paused. "I hear he's found himself quite a lady. I hear her father is an amateur hunter" he said.

Bernie raised an eyebrow. "Just a regular amateur hunter or a special amateur hunter?" he asked.

Don snickered. "I would say a special amateur hunter, but as a hobby not as a lifelong obsession" he said before he grinned. "He's still a Marine though" he said.

Don's colleague opened the door, and he cleared his throat. "We've confiscated the evidence" he said as the lieutenant argued with the agents.

"Just why the hell are you guys undermining our investigation!?" the lieutenant shouted as an agent blocked him from running towards the van.

Don smirked and patted Bernie's shoulder. "Thanks for your cooperation" he said.

Bernie frowned. "So what have you gathered from the other murders?" he asked.

"Very little other than the fact that werewolves are doing the killings" Don said before he shown the pictures of the dead bodies. "Do you have any idea why Norse rune is being carved into their foreheads?" he asked.

Bernie stroked his chin. "Well, a lot of our culture dives into Nordic mythology" he said an epiphany struck. "Are these pictures in chronological order?" he asked. Don looked at the pictures, before he rearranged them. "Look...each week spells a new word" he said before he pulled out his phone to look up Norse rune.

Don watched him take out a sharpie and write corresponding letters on the backs of the pictures below the dates, "H-U-M-A-N-S?P-R-E-P-A-R-E?F-O-R?R-A-G-N" the pictures spelled out.

"Humans prepare for Ragn? It looks like whatever word is debuting this week has yet to be finished" Don muttered.

"Ragnarok..." Bernie muttered.

Don looked at him oddly. "Ragnarok?" he probed.

"It's the battle to end all battles. It's the death of Odin. The big bad wolf is a Ragnarok reference, not a Three Little Pigs reference" Bernie said before he gulped. "Something bigger is planned" he said.

Don frowned. "I'm going to have to look into this, but if Ragnarok is this week's word. We're going to have more killings" he said.

Bernie nodded. "I'm going to have to keep Toby in the loop" he said.

Don shook his head. "Don't tell him yet. I'd prefer him to not give us more work than we need to" he said.

Bernie sighed with frustration. "Alright" he said.

•••

Later that evening at Toby's house, Sasha decided to make Toby a big dish of lasagna. She watched the Six pounds of Lasagna, meant for a dinner party, wolfed down in a matter of minutes. She stared at him perplexed. "Where are you putting all that food Toby?" she asked.

Toby looked at her and cocked his head cutely. "In my mouth..." he said before stuffing another chunk into his face. That meal would be formidable for any competitive eater, but oddly Toby was very content and not bloated. He soon finished and sighed. "Yea...that hit the spot" he said happily.

She smirked and put her hands behind her back while leaning in. "Soooo? How was it?" she asked.

He paused and looked up at her with terror in his eyes. "Uh...It was delicious?" he said.

His mother laughed at his reaction. "She's not going to attack you" she said before she looked towards Sasha amused. "One she wolf made him cookies and she took offense when he said they tasted good" she said.

Sasha stared at her. "What the freak?" she muttered before she laughed. "Why would they take offense to a compliment?" she asked.

His mother shrugged. "Well...I can only guess that the poor girl put her heart and soul into those cookies and good just wasn't good enough" she said.

He let out a heavy sigh. "That was not too long ago" he said.

"Oh, jeez...Where was Zoe to protect you?" Sasha asked.

His mother laughed. "It was her cousin" she said.

Sasha snickered watching him finish off the lasagna. She grinned with satisfaction as he licked his lips like any canine would after a large glorious fill. He looked up at her and cocked his head cutely. "So, are you going to eat?" he asked.

She laughed. "I did, didn't you notice that corner taken off?" she asked.

He blushed and his mother snickered to herself. Sasha shook her head with an amused grin. "I swear...the things that get passed you, surprises me" she said.

His mother laughed. "I took of a chunk, otherwise he would have noticed the chunk taken out" she said with a big grin.

He looked between them and scowled. "Are you poking me?" he asked.

His mother nodded before she nudged Sasha who was grinning also. "But you're so much fun to poke, Toby" she said.

There was a knock at the door before Zoe walked into the house with the group. His mother looked at them and smiled warmly. "So these are your friends?" she asked.

Toby looked over from the table, and Sasha grabbed his shirt by the collar. "Come on!" she commanded him.

He stood up, and she smiled at him with excitement. "We'll take my car! Can one of you fill us in on the background of this Ghost town?" she asked.

Zoe raised her hand. "Ooh! Ooh! I can!" she shouted.

Toby sighed. "Good...then I'll sit up front then" he said as they left his home.

They left neighborhood, and Toby gave Sasha directions. While they were on the freeway Zoe began her spooky tale in the back of the pitch black abyss of Sasha's blazer. "200 years ago, before Oregon became even part of this country. There were three groups of people here...The Americans, the British, and the Natives. The Americans and British were busy trying to rush people over to these lands to establish their sovereignty. Well, where we are going is where the Americans first establish a governing body, but not everything was so peachy. The missionaries continued their cultural genocide of the Natives, and the settlers had gone on whipping out the wolf population. This town has been attacked many times..." she said.

"By the werewolves?" Kari asked.

The nerd looked at her shocked, but Zoe grinned evilly. "Yes...in case you weren't aware. The British used werewolves to do most of the grunt work in their fur trade companies. They were also used to push back the Americans from settling, but that turned into an all-out war. Many people were killed, and a lot of natives became werewolves to give themselves a chance at keeping themselves free" she said.

"So...those things in that video...those were really werewolves?" the nerd asked.

Zoe nodded. "Yea, they were" she said.

The nerd looked outside the window at the forest and farmlands. "This looks like the perfect environment for werewolves to live. Lots of trees to hide, and lots of farm animals to consume" he said.

"And people..." Clare interrupted with a big smirk.

Zoe laughed. "You better watch out then. There are still werewolves about" she said.

"You don't need to worry Percy...the virgin always survives" Clare teased. She cleared her throat. "And the Jocks are the first to die" she said.

Kari coughed out loudly, and Zoe looked back grinning at the Clare. "I'm pretty sure that you're all safe then, huh, Clare?" she said winking at her.

Then Clare scowled at her and went quiet before Percy laughed. They pulled into the state park and parked in a spot where a tall old man with long white hair stood nearby. Toby and Zoe hopped out of the Blazer and spoke to the man as everyone else inside watched curiously.

"You say that Sasha's a medium?" the man asked with a French accent. They both nodded before the man rubbed the side of his face. "I'm curious to hear who was a part of the murders myself" he said.

Sasha got out as well as the others. Zoe motioned towards the man with a big grin. "This is Jean...he'll be our translator for this evening" she said.

Sasha stared at the man and pulled Toby down. "So this is the old wolf you spoke of?" she whispered into his ear. He gave her a quick nod, and she smiled. "Wow" she muttered before she cleared her throat. "So you like to go with me and Toby?" she asked.

Jean looked at the two of them and nodded. "Yes, that would be best. The rest of you either follow me or Zoe" he said before he headed off into the forest.

Everyone stared at Zoe with confusion, but Zoe decided to walk off in the other direction, which they all followed her. Once Jean got far enough from the other group, he turned towards Sasha who had found nestled under Toby's armpit. He chuckled to himself seeing such a sight. "It's always refreshing to see a human take a liking towards our kind" he said.

Sasha looked up and nodded. "Yea...I'm surprised more wouldn't want to pair up with werewolves" she said.

Jean sighed heavily. "Well it was never like this...before when things were much colder, humans would always prefer the company of warmer people, if you know what I mean" he said before he looked towards the river. "There was a sense that humans always preferred werewolves or something that was not of their kinds, so the leaders did everything in their power to deceive and frighten their followers of us. This carried onto the treatment of the native people of these lands. They were viewed as savage creatures just as they viewed us" he said.

He whimpered softly. "They were most hypocritical if you ask me" he said before he looked back at Sasha happily. "I'm grateful that your generation has returned to a state of reason" he said.

She smiled. "The internet does that" she said before she looked up at Toby. "I was taught to judge a person by their merit and not what demographics. I'm really happy with him" she said as she reached up to touch his chest.

His heart quickened as she groped his chest and scratched at him. "Her friends back East have the same views as she does. I...I transformed in front of them" he said.

Jean frowned. "That was a very risky move" he said sternly. He looked towards Sasha carefully, and he sighed heavily. "What were their reactions like?" he asked her.

She grinned widely. "They think that it's the coolest thing ever. I was think maybe Toby could go about in his werewolf form during Clare's Halloween party" she said.

Jean face palmed and shook his head. "He and Zoe have already done that...I remember the tongue lashing he got from the Alpha" he said. He chuckled to himself. "But, I bet it was fun to go about in your werewolf form without mobs trying to slay you. If Peter has a problem with this, he can answer to me" he said.

She smiled enthusiastically. "Thanks" she said as she brushed as strand of hair from her face.

Toby cleared his throat. "About that...could you see to it that Bernie becomes interim Alpha? I believe he would do a much better job at managing the gammas" he said.

Jean stared at him closely before he sighed heavily. "Does Bernie know you want him to be Alpha?" he asked as he led them onto a field where there were old posts with street names placed in an orderly grid layout. "I am going to need Bernie's consent before we take the process any farther" he said sternly.

Sasha looked around and gasped. "You weren't kidding when you say this town got wiped off the map" she said as she looked around. "It's going to be hard to see the ghosts here..." she said before she trailed off looking towards the river.

She wondered off with Toby and Jean not too far behind. She watched figures with torn up pioneer clothing bearing shovels pacing the river. One looked towards them and quickly rushed over. "M. McLoughlin! Je croyais que vous étiez mort!? (Mr. McLoughlin! I thought you were dead!?)" the man said.

Sasha looked over at Jean and gulped. "This ghost has torn up clothes and is speaking French...You can talk to him, but I'll tell you what he says back" she said before she frowned before she relayed the man's words.

Jean cleared his throat. "Je suis bien vivant. Qu'est-ce qui c'est passé ici? Pourquoi vos vêtements sont déchirés comme ça? (I'm very much alive. What happened here? Why are your clothes tore up like that?)" he asked.

The man touched his torn up side. "C'était un loup-garou, Monsieur! Ils nous ont attaqué pendant qu'on remplissait les sacs de sable! (It was a werewolf, sir! They attacked us while we were filling up sandbags!)" He said.

Sasha repeated what he said before Jean grimaced. "Ils étaient combien? (How many were there?)" He asked.

The man frowned. "Sept... Ils étaient sept en tout. On a découvert que les Newall sont aussi des loup-garous, et ils ont aidé tout le monde à sortir de la ville (Seven...there were seven in all. We discovered that the Newall family were also werewolves, and they helped everyone else get out of town)" he said.

Sasha gulped as she tried to repeat everything that the man said before Jean sighed. "Je sais que se sont tous des loup-garous. Ils sont un groupe au grand cur (I know they are all werewolves. They are a good hearted bunch)" he said before he looked towards Toby and Sasha. "Ian attacked the men from behind while they were trying to save the town from the flood. Things are beginning to make sense, and I can rest easy tonight" he said before he looked towards the trees. "I often worried that I made the wrong decision to let the Newall boys go. Turns out they really were heroes" he said.

Sasha smiled. "I was wondering why there weren't so many ghosts in the town" she said before the group caught up to them.

"So what did we miss?" Zoe blurted out.

Jean looked back at her happily. "The Newalls were innocent after all" he said.

The others looked at him confused. "What is he talking about?" Clare asked.

Zoe sighed. "Isn't it obvious? The Newalls were werewolves" she said before there was a loud howl not too far away. Most of the group jumped and grabbed onto each other before Jean howled back.

Percy clutched onto Zoe's arm tightly. "He's a werewolf too!?" he shouted.

Jean grinned. "Well, aren't you all the clever ones?" he asked as he approached them in an intimidating manner before he quickly patted Zoe on the shoulder. "Tell your father I said hello" he said firmly as his eyes began to glow.

"Kay" Zoe said calmly as he walked by.

The group watched him vanish into the forest before Percy gulped. "No freaking way!" he muttered.

Clare stared at the forest in disbelief, but Kari smiled happily. "He's a good werewolf" she said.

Sasha grinned. "Come on! Let's get going" she said before she turned back to the ghost. "Au revoir" she said.

The ghost waved before he too stared into the forest. Sasha stayed huddled up against her boyfriend's warm sturdy frame with a big smile. "It's getting cold out" she said as she encouraged him to wrap an arm around her. Zoe looked back and shook her head at them with a smug grin.

They went back to Sasha's home before they all parted ways. Her mother was on her computer looking at gorgeous dresses, while her father watched bull riding. Her brother was nowhere to be seen, but her dog gnawed at Toby's hand like usual. He rough housed with the hyperactive malamute before he left Sasha with a good night smooch.

•••

The week went along without an incident, and the big day soon came and with big fanfare. Tailgate parties were being set up in the neighborhood park. Toby and Sasha ran by the tailgate party and the party goers howled and cheered at them. Sasha snickered at the attention they were getting, but Toby paid no mind to it. Once they got home, Sasha's mother beamed with delight and satisfaction. "You best not get hurt during the game! Ya, hear? Sasha's been looking forward to this all week" she spoke in a semi-serious and joking tone.

He smirked. "Meh, I'll be fine" he said.

Her mother smiled. "You better clean up good too!" she teased.

He laughed. "Okay, okay!" he said before Sasha touched him on the shoulder as she left him to go upstairs. He backed up towards the door and waved at her mother. "I'm going to pack up my stuff also" he said before he rushed out the door.

His mother looked up at him grinning. "You better keep that tongue in your mouth until after the dance mister" she teased him. He blushed as he quickly rushed up the stairs. "I already packed what you need" she raised her voice.

He walked back down the steps slowly looking over the banister as she pointed to a duffle bag on the couch. "I've talked to Sasha's mom, and she's letting me take you two to the school" she said as he reached the bottom of the steps.

She came over to him and touched his shoulder. "Now if Sasha tells you that you're changing...listen to her. Okay?" she lectured him. He nodded slowly before she rubbed his shoulder. "Don't tense up either! Just relax, pup!" she said before she went into the kitchen.

"I've got everything worked out" she said as she placed a big rare cooked steak on the table. She sat down with her tablet as she began pecking away at the screen. "I've already told Sasha what to do if you have a little slip up. Though I heard Zoe's going to be there also" she said.

He raised an eyebrow as he sat down in his chair. "What? Why?" he asked.

She shrugged. "Well, Bernie's been acting weird lately, and he told her to go to the dance just in case" she said as he slowly munched away at his steak.

"Eeee, heeeh, eeeheeen, heeeesh worhee ahout?" He muttered with food in his mouth.

His mother scowled at him. "Where's your manners!?" she scolded him. She looked into her tablet and sighed heavily. "Just don't worry about it for now...This is your time to be a normal teen wolf. Don't be meddling in things that aren't in your control" she said plainly.

Sasha walked into the house with her backpack, and she looked at him worried. "What's wrong?" she asked.

His mother sighed. "It's nothing" she said before she recoiled. "Oh, Um, are you hungry Sasha? I've got more steak" she said.

Sasha looked at the red meat on his plate, and she gulped. "Um...is it a little less alive?" she asked.

His mother snickered. "Of course" she said as she got up and retrieved a plate of medium cooked steak. She sat back down at the table setting the plate in front of Sasha. "Now, remember to not get him worked up at the dance. I'll be a text away if you need me" she said.

Sasha nodded as she dug into her steak. Toby looked at the clock on the microwave, and he sighed heavily. "Well, there's an hour and a half before the game..." he said before he looked towards Sasha. "What do you want to do?" he asked.

She looked up at him and smiled. "Well...I was thinking about trying a few things out" she said.

His mother's eyes widened and gulped. "Oh...um...just be safe" she said.

Sasha blushed. "Uh...I!" she said quickly before she looked towards him worried.

He looked back at her confused before his eyes widened. "Um...Did I miss something?" he asked looking between them.

Sasha gulped. "Um...I don't know what to say" she said as her head hung low in embarrassment.

His mother sighed heavily. "Just don't blast the music" she said as she got up and walked over to grab a pair of headphones.

Sasha blushed as she stuffed her hands into her lap. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..." she said before Toby laughed finally grasping the situation.

"Oh, no, It's fine...I was..." he said before he lowered his head. "I was thinking about trying a few things too" he said before he reached over to caress her hip.

She bit her lip and her heart raced. "I don't think I can..." she said.

He chuckled. "I'm open to anything you're willing to try..." he said before he blushed.

She looked over at his mother outside starting up the lawnmower, and she took his hand to bring him up into his room. She shut the door and looked up at him with a bright red face before she reached out to his chest. "Toby..." she muttered timidly. She smiled warmly as she wrapped her arms around him to pull him in for a smooch.

"I don't know what to do..." she muttered into their lip lock.

They eventually wondered over to his bed where they fell back, and Sasha straddled him dipping her hand up under his shirt scratching at his chest. He murred happily while he slowly rubbed her hips and buttocks. She moaned softly as he gave her a gentle squeeze. Their lips parted and she shimmied down to kiss his neck down his body before she stopped at his belly button.

He gulped as she reached to unbutton his pants, and she instantly looked up at him with wide eyes. He gave her a receptive gaze, and she bravely went back to exploring him. "Toby...is this your..." she murmured as she pulled down his boxers. She stared and turned bright red. "Oh my lord!" she muttered before she looked up at him timidly.

He looked down at her and blushed. "You should wait until I have taken a shower. I know it stinks down there" he said.

She laughed at him. "No, it's just that...I didn't think that guys got this big" she said as she continued to explore his body part bashfully.

He pulled his hands back behind his head and watched her curiously. "Should I turn on some music?" he asked.

She smiled. "I'll turn some on...just stay there big bad" she said before she got up and synched up her phone with his stereo. She looked back at him and blushed removing her shirt before she unclipped her bra as the music began to play. It was relaxing, slow tempo, and had a futuristic feel with the synthesizers and piano working harmoniously. "Can you give me a massage?" she asked before she sat on the edge of his bed.

She smiled at him mischievously as he sat up quickly, and he gulped reaching up to her back. She let out a loud content sigh as he kneaded her back. "Your hands feel so nice and warm" she complimented him.

He gulped as she leaned back into his hands with a soft gentle moan. "Go ahead...you can touch them" she said under her breath hinting at her true intentions with this.

He reached around to cup her breasts supporting their weight as he fondled them gently. She blushed as she reached up to encourage him to be more earnest with them. He blushed as he did as she instructed him to do, which she looked at him smiling curious about his thoughts. "Do you like them?" she asked sweetly.

He nodded as he became more vigorous with his massage. "I think they feel really nice" he said before he started to knead her nipples. "I'm sorry, I'm a little new to this. Zoe doesn't have any boobs" he said.

She giggled softly and smiled warmly as she held onto his wrists while he massaged her. "No worries, you're a lot more gentle with them than other guys. You're doing very well" she said before she moaned at his nipple play. "I would like for you to let your wolf out a little bit. I want him to get used to me a lot more" she said.

He looked at her oddly as she turned to face him, which she gently touched his chest guiding him to lay back as she lay on top of him with her bountiful buxom resting upon his chest while she caressed the outside of his ears. "I can tell you're holding him back a great deal. I want you to relax and I'm sure that you can't do it effectively while bottling yourself up...am I right?" she asked before she intentionally scooted up to asphyxiate him with her mounds of flesh.

He reached up to grab onto her hips as he began to lick and nip at her. She gasped with pleasure as his inner wolf was being unleashed upon her. She clutched onto the back of his head tightly as electricity shot down her spine causing her toes to curl up. She soon reached down to touch his chest as she moved back down his body looking at his transformed body. She bit her lip as she reached up to feel the soft lupine hairs growing along his jawline. "Good boy" she said with a satisfied grin.

She felt something press up against her backside, and she reached around to feel something stiff and flesh like. She blushed as her hand naturally grasped the appendage, which she giggled. He smiled at her mischievously as he reached over to the drawer in his nightstand, which he grabbed a hold of his hand. "Hold up, I may not be ready for that big bad" she said, which she blushed when he pulled out a bottle of KY jelly. "Oh? Never mind" she said as she took the jelly.

She squirted the bottle into her hand and rubbed her hands together before she started to smear the lubricant all over her breasts. "This is what I wanted to try with you" she said before she scooted back and made sure his cucumber was pressing between her cavernous cleavage. She pressed her breasts together and plunged the rod deep inside, which she looked up at his approving smirk.

"I like where this is going" he said in a seductive tone. He smirked as she began to bounce her breasts off his crotch with his shaft sliding between them. She leaned in and fit the rest of him into her mouth, which he groaned at her tongue lapping at the glans of his monstrous organ. She looked up at him submissively, which he growled out dominantly. "That's the spot! Right there!" his voice boomed. He reached down to caress the back of her head as he let off a deep heavy exhale.

Later, Toby and Sasha cuddled in the bed, which the music kept playing in the background. She had nuzzled up into his shoulder and looked at his chest, while she aimlessly drew patterns in his fur with her finger over his body. "You're really good with your hands" she said before she giggled to herself. "That felt amazing" she said.

There was a knock on the door before his mother came in. Sasha squeaked before she reached up to cover her breasts. His mother walked in and sniffed the air. She looked at the KY jelly on the night stand, and Sasha completely reeked of it. "You're welcome to take a shower Sasha" she said.

Sasha got up and left the room still shielding herself meekly before his mother turned towards him. "You don't use that for massages" she lectured him. She left the room before she stopped to look at him shaking her head at him as he blushed.

She snickered and rolled her eyes before she wondered off humming to herself. He finally got up and picked up her shirt and bra. He carried them over to the bathroom where she was already out of the shower singing to herself, "Return of the Pack!"

He snickered as she kept singing. "That song in that hype video is pretty catchy isn't it?" he asked.

She stopped. "Um...can you get me my clothes?" she asked before she started gargling mouth wash hoping to hide the smell of her antics with him from Zoe and the other werewolves.

"I got 'em" he said before she opened the door and gratefully took them from him. She looked up at him and smiled. He smiled back at her before he left humming the same tune himself.

"Toby?" she called out. He stopped and looked back at her curiously as she poked her head out from the door. "Thanks for being cool about not going all the way today...I'm just a little nervous with how humongous your..." she said.

He held his hand up. "Hey...we all get overambitious sometimes. There will be a better moment" he said before he chuckled. "An hour isn't enough time to do that sort of thing with me anyway. I doubt we'll have that kind of alone time anytime soon either" he interrupted.

She nodded in agreement before she pulled her head back into the bathroom. "Yea, I liked the alternative though" she said. She let out a soft giggle. "I'm surprised your mom didn't stop us and just picked the loudest chores possible" she said.

"I trust he would keep things on your terms" his mother hollered from the other side of the house. She came upstairs and turned the music off in her son's room. "Besides that...the average age a teen become sexually active is around 15. You two are nearly adults" she said before she opened a window.

He blushed as she could smell what they did inside his room, and as she came back out, she looked at him sternly. "Get some clothes on! The game starts in half an hour!" she informed him.

He rushed into his room and quickly got dressed, while his mother escorted Sasha to the garage. He grabbed his duffle bag and met up with them. They rushed over to the school, but to their surprise, there were people walking a half a mile from the park to get to the school. Once they arrived, there were no parking spots available, which Toby gawked at the number of people.

"Is this normal for Homecoming?" he muttered.

His mother giggled. "You're playing Sherwood today aren't you?" she asked as a group of people wearing shirts with a Robin Hood mascot.

He gulped. "These aren't all Sherwood fans are they?" he asked.

Sasha giggled at his reaction. "I think most of these people are here to see you play. This is the most I've seen so far" she said as she pointed to a berm crowded with an overflow of people. "It's completely packed" she said.

His mother pulled up to the front, and she looked back at them. "You two have fun" she said as they got out with their bags.

"Bye!" Sasha shouted with a wave. She looked towards Toby and pulled him in for a smooch. "Tear 'em apart big bad!" she said with a big grin.

He leaned his forehead into hers as she stroked his face. "I'll meet up with you at the goal post on the north end zone" he told her firmly.

She sighed heavily. "I'll be waiting for you..." she said before they parted ways.

•••

When the game started, the school held a big ceremony once Toby took the field. Wolfie the mascot threw punches at Toby's chest plate as he got to the center of the field. The students howled and held up signs that said, "Welcome back Toby! #ReturnOfThePack!", "Wolf's Reign! #GunControl", "I hear howling! #TualatinNatty", "Back to work! #GermanPrecision"

A couple media drones flew over the field, and the band started playing their version of "School's out for summer". A little boy came out onto the field with a couple adults, which Toby turned towards them. The little boy was suited up like one of the players, but he appeared to be sickly.

His parents lead him over to towards Toby, and the boy was very nervous around the mascot. The boy's father handed Toby a ball and pen, which he looked up at Toby timidly. The boy's mother however smiled thankfully as Toby signed the ball. "Our son has been obsessed with you, Toby! It's because of you that he's been fighting his Leukemia" she shouted with delight.

Toby kneeled down, and he gave the little boy a fist bump. "You don't need to be afraid of Wolfie...I'm bigger than him" he said.

The little boy smiled as Toby handed him the autographed football. The ball had the names of everyone else on the team, and the little boy quickly gave him a hug. Most of the people in the crowd awed at Toby returning the hug before Toby lifted the boy up and set him onto his shoulder pad. "Wave to everyone" Toby said. The little boy waved as the drones flew in low filming them.

The Sherwood players took the field only to her continuous howling from the opposing students. The referee came out onto the field, and Toby let the boy make the call in the coin toss. They won the toss, and the little boy wanted Toby to play offense to start off.

As the game started, it quickly turned to chaos as Toby lead his team to a lopsided halftime lead of 63-0. The little boy hung around the team, while Toby watched Sasha perform on the field. Zoe scooted up beside him on the bench, and she grinned. "Wow...I didn't know you were so good with kids" she teased him.

Toby blushed as she punched him in the shoulder pads. "Uh...isn't that what I was supposed to do?" he asked.

Zoe grinned. "Don't be so modest! We all know coach forgot to tell you, and he was sweating bullets when they brought Adam onto the field" she said.

Toby made a straight face before the coach walked up to him grinning. "Good job!" he said before he looked towards Zoe and he snickered. "Pick up the defense, we don't need to slaughter them with more points" he said.

Once Sasha's routine was over, she walked by and blew him a steamy kiss, and Toby waved back at her. The players looked towards him grinning and snickering at her display of affection. "Wow, your girlfriend is hot!" one of the safeties remarked.

"She's cute" a cornerback added.

Zoe nudged him. "You know...Sasha has been acting a lot more confident recently" she said.

He laughed. "She has been hanging around you" he added.

"Hey, you made her grow to love herself" she said before she snickered. "So...have you two been?" she asked. He looked at her and blushed, which she grinned. "So you have been..." she shouted excitedly.

He gulped. "We only..." he said before he leaned in. "Look, she only gave me a HJ and a TJ, it's not the home run" he whispered into her ear.

She cocked her head. "What's a TJ?" she asked.

He blushed. "Well...um...it's a...Tit job" he said timidly.

She laughed. "Why didn't I figure that out?" she asked before she slapped him on the back. "Your welcome" she said.

He looked at her confused. "So, you've put her up to this?" he asked.

She nodded. "I gave her ideas...It was up to her to try it out" she said before she winked at him. "She has been thinking about this since last week" she said.

He sighed heavily. "Yea...she's been acting strangely. Like she wanted to mate with me but she felt bad for thinking it" he said.

She sighed. "It's because she was. I just had to get it through her head that she's not a bad person" she said before she grinned. "She looks much more happy now" she added.

He looked up towards the stands where Sasha was seated. "I'm glad she's feeling better...I thought I was the problem. You know, for asking her out to the dance and all" he said.

She knocked onto his helmet. "Hello! This is all about her sheltered life not you, turd ball!" she shouted. He scowled at her before she winked at him. "She gels well with you. You two are very nice people also" she said. He blushed and looked at his helmet on the bench.

•••

After the game ended, a group of people set up a stage, dance floor, tent, lights, and everything possibly needed for a big dance. The scoreboard shown 98-17 and students were taking pictures of the scoreboard before they left to get ready for the dance. Toby waited in the end zone with his black dress shirt and ironed Dockers.

Sasha came out wearing a red V-neck dress which exposed some of her cleavage making people gawk at her as she strutted up to Toby with her red knee high high-heeled boots. He stared at her in shock as she smiled back with him with her red lip stick. "Uh...wow" he muttered.

Zoe walked up to them grinning evilly. "So, little red has made the big bad wolf speechless huh?" she teased.

Sasha blushed. "You like it?" she asked as she ran her hand over her side innocently.

He whimpered to himself, and Zoe snickered. "Oh it's driving him crazy...literally" she said.

Sasha frowned as she took his hand. "I can change into something else if you can't handle it" she asked.

He flinched. "Oh, I'll manage...you don't need to change" he said before he smiled at her faintly. "You look amazing" he said.

She looked into his eyes deeply and smiled. "Let's go!" she shouted as she dragged him across the field.

Once they got into the tent, they lost track of Zoe; although, they came across Mrs. Hanna at the front. She tapped Toby on the shoulder, which he and Sasha both stopped before they were led aside. Mrs. Hanna looked at Sasha, and she giggled to herself.

"My, my, my, aren't you the enchantress?" She remarked before she looked towards Toby happily. "Thank you for your help...I'm sorry for putting you in danger" she said.

Toby sighed. "It's not your fault" he said.

"I didn't know that your mate is a human" she whispered into his ear.

"She knows about me being a werewolf" he whispered back.

She looked between them and giggled. "Oh, well...I'm so glad to see that she's so comfortable around you" she said very pleased. "We haven't broken the news to our son just yet, but we have gotten a lot of progress done" she said.

The vice principal cleared his throat startling Sasha, which he chuckled to himself. "Sorry about that! I didn't mean to scare you" he apologized. He looked at her dress and sighed. "Oh thank goodness" he muttered.

"What?" Toby probed.

The vice principal shook his head. "It's nothing serious, just checking for dress code violations" he said before he looked up at Mrs. Hanna and gave her a nod.

Sasha blushed. "My dress is a violation?" she shrieked.

He rolled his eyes. "I said it's nothing serious...Just drama some girls want to start up that's all. Just have a good time alright" he muttered before he wondered off.

Mrs. Hanna laughed. "Yea, just have fun...don't worry about the dress. You fill it out quite nicely" she complimented.

Sasha smiled happily. "Oh, why thank you!" she said before she adjusted the hip a little. "I was a little nervous about it showing my curves off, but I'm glad that everyone likes it" she said before the teacher pushed the two of them into the crowd.

While the dance went on, Toby moved around awkwardly during the slow dance sequence, which Sasha began to take notice. She squeezed his arm tightly and looked up at him concerned. He looked down at her, and he loosened up immediately. She rested her head upon his chest sighing happily as she placed his hand over her hip, and he looked around to see Zoe dancing with Percy.

•••

As the Dance wrapped up, they began to announce homecoming King and Queen. It was no surprise that Toby was announced as King, but before the Queen was announced, Olivia arrogantly took the stage waving to the crowd. "And the winner is Sasha Thomas!" the announcer called. Olivia shot her head towards the announcer and ran over to him yanking the paper from him.

The paper had names circled and percentage points next to them. Toby received 98%, while Sasha got 60% and Zoe got 35%. Her face contorted, and she shredded up the paper after seeing that she only got 4% of the votes. "I'm going to kill her! Stupid cow!" she said under her breath.

Toby and Sasha were crowned and Zoe came up with Percy to take pictures with them before Olivia snuck up behind Sasha. She had transformed slightly, and Zoe rushed into grab Olivia's arm growling. "The fuck are you doing!?" she shouted.

Olivia looked at her surprised as she tried to overpower Zoe. "I'm going to cut off those udders, cow!" she shouted before Zoe pushed her to the ground.

Toby took Sasha's hand and whisked her away to a safe place as Olivia ran out the tent with the vice principal running after her. Olivia was very surprised when she got tackled to the ground by Bernie. "What the fuck!? I should be able to tear you apart no problem!" she shouted.

Bernie frowned as he smeared her face into the mud with his knee. "A thrall, eh?" he muttered before he pull up his radio. "Suspect has been apprehended" he spoke into his radio.

"I'm on your tail" A man said on the radio.

Bernie looked back at a shorter athletic built Polynesian man running up quickly. The man injected a sedative into Olivia's neck before he looked up at him concerned. "She's not one of..." he asked.

Bernie shook his head. "She's a thrall, and a lousy one at that" he said. The vice principal caught up with them and Bernie sighed heavily. "Thanks for the heads up, Art! And good work Tai" he shouted.

The vice principal nodded before Tai smirked with pride. "Yea, no problem" he said.

""You...bast...ards..." Olivia muttered slowly.

Bernie picked up Olivia and dragged her over to a black delivery van. The vice principal helped with putting Olivia in the back. Bernie remained in the back with her putting a muzzle onto her face while the vice principal closed the door. Tai climbed into the van and quickly drove off, while Percy walked up to them.

"What just happened? Where are you taking her?" he asked. The vice principal looked at him dazed, and he gulped not sure how to respond to the incident.

Zoe ran up to them. "Olivia is a werewolf! She tried to kill Sasha!" she told him.

Percy gulped. "And you just...stopped her?" he asked.

Zoe huffed. "Hey! She wasn't transformed all the way! I can take on a scrawny bitch like her any day of the week!" she shouted at him.

"In any case, you did a good job!" the vice principal said before he looked towards Percy. "Zoe has been specially trained for these situations" he said.

Percy stared at them. "I...I...I was only thinking that I would have a good ghost mystery...Never a werewolf one" he said.

Zoe smirked. "Welcome to the club!" she said giving him a toothy grin.
