##WARNING Language##

Nova was bored, she liked being spoiled but just sitting around doing nothing was getting old. She wanted to do something, anything. She decided to go down to the kitchen to see if there was anything she could do to help out. Maybe they would let her do some baking she loved baking it was almost a therapy for her.

When she entered the kitchen everyone just stopped what they were doing and stared at her. She wasn’t sure of her plan then. They looked at her like she didn’t belong.

“Luna, how may we help you?”

She went up to one of the cooks…

“For starters I want everyone to just

Yular wavery. To address me as Nova, no Luna stuff I am not that formal. I am bored, is there anything I can do to help, perhaps you will let me do some baking?”

The two cooks looked at her for a moment in stunned silence, then they happily showed her where she could find everything she would need. She could bake all she wanted as long as she helped with the clean-up.

She had no trouble at all agreeing to that deal. She put on an apron and got down to business. Feeling happy and content at the moment. She started to chat with everyone working in the kitchen getting to know them all. Before she knew it she was laughing at jokes and funny kitchen stories.

“Excuse me Nova but may I ask what it is you are going to bake? I see that

you are making dough.”

“I am going to make upside-down sticky cinnamon rolls for everyone that will be coming to dinner tonight.”

“Luna I mean Nova, are you sure you know how to make so many of them?”

“She giggled, Yeah, I know that I had increased my ingredients x15. If I don’t get back to that dough, we are going to have our version of the attack of the blob.” 1

They all started laughing, two of the kitchen helpers started to help her roll out the dough. Nova was having a wonderful time. When all the rolls were in the oven, Nova cleaned up her mess and did the dishes.

Jack and Sam were coming back from

a training exercise, they were teaching the 12-14-year-old Cubs how to ride motorcycles, right now they are training on dirt bikes but they are getting really good.

They were also teaching them in their human forms how to hunt and track. When they gain that knowledge they will then train in their bear forms the same thing

When Jack and Sam entered the main house both of them stood still smelling the air. It was almost time for dinner, it wasn’t dinner they were smelling though. It was a sweet wonderful smell. They both ran to the kitchens to see what they already knew that smell was. O

When they burst through the door there stood the kitchen staff and Nova putting what could only be called Bear aphrodisiac on trays, Thou were incide down and on the

They were upside down, and on the top was this oooey gooey mixture of spices and caramelized sugars.

Sam and Jack both reached for one, Nova wacked their hands with a wooden spoon. These are for after dinner tonight if you want one you are going to have to go and get cleaned up. Both of them let out a groan.

The cooks behind Nova were barely holding in their laughter. Sam ran out the door to his room, Jack stayed behind.

“Oh, my sweet goddess are you sure you can’t spare one of these for the leader of the clan? For your soulmate?”

“Nova giggled, then with a sorta straight face said, NO. Don’t look so sappy my love I will tell you this, I made you your very own tray of sticky

rolls. All you have to do is go get cleaned up. I even saved you what was left of the glaze.”

With that, Jack stood up straight and gave her a salute turned, then went out the door. 2

Sheriff Avery pulled up to James’s house, it was time that James got caught up on things and they needed a solid plan. James was waiting for him in his yard, he looked like hell. Someone had been hitting the bottle pretty hard.

They both went inside and sat down.

“James, first I have to inform you of the death of your wife Kathy. She is now in the pile with all the others. She had been with the FBI for the last couple of days, I don’t know what she told them but that bird isn’t going to

be singing anymore.”

James didn’t say anything he just leaned back into his chair and took a swig of his beer.
