He made for himself a cup of coffee, he needed the warmth and comfort to feel more at home and to get more sober even though he already was. He casually strolled to the living room and then settled on the couch, letting the day’s events wash over him.

"Since you came back to this pack a lot of things have been going haywire. Now I don't know what you're doing but I know you have a hand in something if not everything that is happening." I said and he laughed openly this time. It was like I had told the joke of the century. "You think so?" He asked me. "Do you really think that I am the cause of your problems?

"That's my brother," she said after she had briefly shut her eyes and muttered a silent prayer about the universe quitting this silly habit of giving her mindless and gullible office assistants. "Let him in." She instructed. Stephan nodded and left. Myles who had been watching her cleared his throat as he got up from his seat as he spoke. "Well," he said. "I guess that is my cue to leave. I should leave you to your family business." He told her. She looked at him. "Thanks for stopping by Mr Jameson." Rebecca said.
