Caine tried to get comfortable as the bars bit into his ass. He shifted again then winced when his groin gave a low throb.
“Caine?”
“Yeah?”
“You don’t know shit about women.”
“Yeah…I realize that.”
Greg chuckled. “You’re what twenty? Twenty-one?”
“I’m about to be twenty-two actually.”
“You’re still a pup! Look,” he said over Caine’s warning growl. “I’m going to give you three rules to live by when dealing with women. One, never tell them that they look fat in an outfit even if they ask if said outfit makes them fat. Two, never come between a woman and her chocolate when she’s on her period. That’s especially important if she’s a Lycan. Three, you don’t fuck up their hair when they’re unconscious.”
Caine winced. “I just saw all that stuff and I thought she would be happy. Alana hates germs ya know? Like seriously hates germs. How was I supposed to know that shit would do that to her hair?”
Greg shrugged. “You should just know.”
They fell silent and the only sounds was the rain making a hollow tink as it hit the metal and the normal city sounds. Caine could faintly hear Alana crying as Becca said something about cutting several inches off to straighten the ends.
“Let’s go on the roof,” he muttered.
Kicking out his foot Caine watched as the water splashed out around him before turning to look at Greg.
“My dad always used to say never walk by a puddle without at least dipping a foot in it. It was his little way to have fun. It was our thing. He could be on his way to a business meeting and he would dip his wingtip in a puddle before going on his way.”
“His own little act of rebellion.”
“Yeah, I guess so. He used to push me to be more extrovert. He said he didn’t want me growing up being scared of every shadow thinking someone was going to get me. ‘The more friends you have, the better the pack is. The pack should see you as someone they cam come to. The pack always comes first.’ And it did. Some nights he’d come home exhausted from the constant bickering between packs but he’d always have a smile and a funny story for me.”
“Bernard was a great Alpaha Caine.”
“He was an even better dad.”
Caine walked across the roof intently on splashing in each puddle. He paused when Greg’s phone rang. He hadn’t even realized that he had it on him. And exactly where had he stored it?
“Shit!”
“What?”
“It’s Ethan.” He shook his head when Caine let out a low growl. “Be cool man. I still have to play my part.”
Blowing out a breath Caine slowly loosened his muscles as Greg hit the talk button on his cell.
“Do you know what time it is Ethan?”
At just the mention of his name Caine felt himself tense up again so he walked further away from Greg so he wouldn’t have to hear the bastard’s voice.
“What do you mean suspended the hunt? I was this fucking close to…come again? What the hell Ethan? If you can’t keep your family together then how in the hell are you…fine! I’ll do it but this is going to be double the usual rate. I’m not a damn baby-sitter. I’ll come and see you tomorrow. Yeah, tomorrow! Later.”
Caine walked back over and stared at the worried look on Greg’s face. “What’s up?”
“Ethan’s son is missing.”
“Does he think it’s a rival pack?”
“No, he’s run away.” Greg looked out over the city. “Do you have any fucking clue what could happen to a ten year old out in Hillcrest? Especially a kid who’s never been out of his own neighborhood?”
“Yeah…I have a clue. And it ain’t pretty. Christ!”

Ohhh, I hope Greg finds him! Please let Greg find him!
hehehehehe. Alana was looking pretty old skool Ronald McDonald over there. I feel worse for Caine though. He just wanted to help!
Love that guy.

Umm…maybe?
HAHA!! OMG! She totally does!!! Where’s the Hamburgler then? Bwahaha!!! Yeah, I feel bad for her but Caine’s faces were making me sad! He really looked confused! Haha! I love him too!
[Reply]
I am SHOCKED to see Alana’s hair. Seriously, Caine? Don’t you read the labels? That’s probably unforgivable! XD
But I must say Caine’s looking pretty hot with his new look. ^^ And yay for Julius! He’s gonna be meeting his uncle-cousin-Caine, I hope!
Oh, and Becca and Greg looked really really really cute sharing pjs. (*happy sigh*)

LOL Ning!! Yeeeah! No…Caine was kinda distracted at the time he was washing her hair! LMAO!! Alana’s going to have a hard time forgiving him especially since Becca had to cut off more hair to even out the mess!
I was surprised when I went in game and got a close up shot! Woot! Caine looks hot! Hmm…as for Julius…well…I can’t say anything!
Aren’t those PJs wonderful! I’m always scouring places for different thing. You can get them from here. Those two deserve the matching PJs! I couldn’t resist! Now I MUST catch up on your story!
[Reply]
OMG OMG i had to stop reading for like five minutes because i was crying so hard from laughing I couldn’t see anymoreXD
, and Nolan, and woehahahaha 
oh god! i can’t take anymore! Roflol! when you would read an onset like that in a book or see it in a movie, you go like: og please do something with it and they don’t, or fuck it up, like in those stupid parodymovies. but you actually did go there! and HOW! I totaly adore you for that!! I needed a good laugh, i’m PMSsing very badly!, and had to laugh at Greg’s sage advice to poor Caine. it is funny ’cause it’s soooooooooooooo true! 
I liked the fact that you make it extra for lycans. hehehe. *worships the ground you walk on*
I was hoping the scream would come, but it took forever, and that’s sooo funny ‘ cause she was just noticing how good she could see without her glasses *starts to falll apart again*roflol oh god and he felt his beard and has grown back already, he does look awefully jummy btw. and then Becca started questioning him, poor thing stood there stumbeling had me more in a twist XD and then Alana heard him and attacked him “but I had my eyes closed the whole time!!”
yay for Julius, now that Greg’s on the case, surely he will be found almost in one peace. might be a lil shaky though. poor lil tough guy. or he won’t be found and all hell will break loose..
*paranoia surfaces*
btw have I told you how cute that little bandage on gregs face is. in combination with those eyes.. adorable!

LOL QG! I have to admit I caught myself snorting in amusement while I was writing this last night/this morning. I’m glad you enjoyed it!!
Hahaha!! You know how you’re so focused on one thing that you don’t look at the whole picture(or maybe that’s just me!
) That’s what I wanted to pull off. She was focused on the how fast she was healing and not having to wear glasses anymore that it took a minute to focus on her hair! *cough* That girl is going to have grey hair soon! Caine is going to be one of those guys that have to shave like twice a day or something. Yeah, when Becca started questioning I could just hear his voice in my head and him thinking: “Oh god! What the fuck should I say? What should I SAY?”
Nolan is made of the win! Hahaha!! Awww…hey thanks! I try to be realistic but at the same time…not? I know that makes no sense but I’m glad that it worked how I wanted it too!
Rule #2 applies than doesn’t it? LOL!!
Hahaha @ your paranoia surfacing! Hmm…I have an idea in mind for that! It could work…I’ma have to see about it though!
The bandage is getting ready to come off. Greg should be healed from the last fight…just in time for another one I’m sure! He’s going to hate to leave Becca!
Thanks for reading and commenting QG! And I’m very glad you enjoyed it!
[Reply]
LMAO!!!
I can just imagine! someone is going to seriously be killed… dundundun… LOL! I bet Alana screamed loud enough to wake the dead and Cotton Candy, what a wonderful scent to smell like… If you work at a carnival, LOL! Just kidding.
I love Caine’s maleness, his confusion and I suppose intrigue over her freaking out over her hair. Brings to mind a memory of my own bad hair cut and my bf’s confusion. LOL!
Our Alpha isn’t stupid!!! LMAO!!! and Caine looks great!
I am laughing so hard I can’t type!!! Loved how she just flew at him, loved how everyone is in agreement that someone is going to die today!
Nolan has the munchies leave him be! LOL! Well at least Becca was willing to help and I feel bad for Caine, he really does care about her, it is so obvious.
Those three rules, ROFLMAO!!! it’s good I am reading this at home! I am laughing so loud!! Although never come between me and my chocolate period, Lycan or not, LOL!
Ooh Great Cliffhanger! is it possible that Caine will want to meet his cousin is it? hmmm I cant wait!
This was a stunning, hilarious and wonderfully written piece. Your characters literally speak and their personalities are so clear!!! BRAVO!!!

LOL!! Calista is an enigma. She’s a hard core party, rocker chick but she has all these fruity scented body wash and what not. What can I say? Maybe Caine just wanted to take a nibble?
Oh god! He was so confused. In my head I could just hear him going what the hell man? I don’t get it! And then when he saw it? I wanted to smack him on the forehead for blurting that out loud! Idiot! Thanks Cherie! I didn’t want to completely make it over…at least not yet! Maybe in a few years? Hahaha!
Yeah! That part cracked me up when I was planning it! I could just imagine them placing bets as to the outcome! Bwahaha!! Nolan is hilarious and Becca really did try to help. It is obvious but Alana just isn’t feeling that right now.
Bwahaha!! Oh gosh! I’m glad you’re reading this at home as well! I wouldn’t want to get you in trouble!
Thanks so much Cherie! I really appreciate at you taking the time to read and comment!

Yeaa……cant say i feel to bad for Caine. Why on earth you would touch anything in someone elses bathroom that didnt say shampoo on it is beyond me. Common sense dude. Seriously. Boy needs a clue. No take that back. He needs several and a how to on not making dumb mistakes lol. But at least he was trying. Still doesnt excuse that…animal on her head haha
And he is sooooooooooooooo much hotter without that beard. And the stubble is lovely. Who knew his butt was so nice! That last shot shows pure bubble booty.

OMG Sinclair!! Haha! You don’t feel a little sorry for the man? I mean he’s utterly clueless when it comes to some things. Alana being one of them. Oh my god!! OMG!! Hahaha!! You made me snort my drink out my nose! Animal on her head? Awesome!!! Maybe that’s what she saw as well!!
Wait…you made me have to scroll back up to check out his butt. *tilting head to better eye pixels* Okay…yeah! Caine does have an awesome butt! I total forgot what Caine looked liked without the beard. When I made him in CAS that’s how I made him and kept him! He does look nice! I think his eyes stand out more.

LMAOOOOO! I knew she would go She -Ra on him! Po’ thang, he was just trying to be nice, but still… LOL

Umm…scurry back over this way! The game crashed on me so I have to rebuild the half that I finished so RG won’t be updated for awhile yet. Maybe on Friday/Saturday morning. Besides, you can always tell when I’m about to put out a new chapter by the header! I ALWAYS change the header for each chapter!
*Scurries back in game*

First off, Alana’s hair: omg!
Secondly, I absolutely cracked up at the tarot cards “flying” off the table. I know that it was the best you could do but considering that were all still in their order and in a pile absolutely cracked me up. Thanks for making me laugh today; I needed it.
Thirdly, you gotta love a Caine who can be concerned for the son of the man who is hunting him.

I know, I know! Ugh! Crazy hair! That’s what mine used to look like if I just let it air dry and then flew asleep! Pretty much what Caine did to Alana! LOL!
I spent about thirty minutes looking through my clutter(I have a crap ton of clutter!) before snagging some cards! YAY I thought only to realize no, those aren’t tarot cards!! Frick! So yep, that’s the best I could do otherwise I would have went on another CC hunting spree!
That’s the LAST thing I need to do! Haha!
Caine only wants to take Ethan down…and he knows what it’s like to be ten years old and lost.
[Reply]
Ohhh man. I’m gone for one day, and you and Pen both update.
Alana’s hair
If I woke up with that hair, I’d be pretty pissed too. I guess you can’t really blame Caine, though–I mean, how many guys actually think to read the labels on hair products? It’s just not in the male nature. Plus he knows nothing about women anyway (I kind of half-expected Greg to give him the sex talk on the roof there).
Well, at least they know Julian’s missing. If anyone can find that kid, it’s Greg and Caine

Oh MAN! I know! Poor thing! I’m just shoving her in all types of situations! LOL! Exactly! They’re like it’s there! I’ll use it! LOL!! Yeah…Caine would have stopped him REALLY quickly if he started with the sex talk!
Hopefully one of them does find him. And not someone with other motives.

It was really fun. I almost didn’t go actually, because I didn’t have a date, but then me and one of my ex-boyfriends decided to go together (we have a rather Seinfeldian relationship), so yeaaah. I didn’t really have an after-grad, though, since most of my friends are actually being forced to go to school today, but there’s a party on Saturday, so we’ll just make that after-grad.
Heheheh… that would have been hilarious. “When a mommy lycan and a daddy lycan love each other very much…” “NOOOOOOO!!!!”

Congrats on graduating!! That’s always a huge deal in my family for some insane reason! *shrug*
LMAO! Yeah…*snickers* I can just see Caine’s face! Haha! Hahahaha!!!
[Reply]
Oh my, that was funny. Perfect female reaction to having some MAN mess with her hair! And poor Caine, looking so dumbfounded. Oh, I love his new look. Much better with some of the hair removed, as handsome as I thought he would be.
Love Greg’s talk with him out on the balcony, again, some stunning shots, esp. Caine doing his spiderman thing up the fire escape! Caine really is still a pup in a lot of ways.
Really enjoying this Phoenix, love it! Look forward to more!

Thanks Karen! Haha! Yeah, I just tried to imagine…I’ve gone to the hairdresser once where she jacked up my hair and I was SO mad! Ugh!
I just want to pinch his cheeks! Although he’d snap at me about pinching them! Haha!
Greg’s really taken him under his wing. He realizes that Caine really hasn’t had much freedom and he doesn’t really know what’s what yet! That action was climbing up the crows nest from the BV posebox! I had to get it just right. Otherwise he was slightly to the right! Haha!
Thanks Karen! I really appreciate it since I’ve having so much fun with this story!
[Reply]
OMG I am laughing and screaming but ok it’s just HAIR. Rip it off and it comes back. Caine’s constant concern about Alana is incredible. And might get really annoying eventually but at this point it’s sexy and wonderful.
Greg…yeah that might have gone wrong but I guess it worked out.
Incredible shots and extraordinarily great writing!

LOL!!! Yeah…but you know Alana has to have EVERYTHING in it’s place! That’s what really set her off. She was just minding her own business and now everything is upset down!
As a Lycan Caine is always going to be worried about her. Hopefully she can get him to tone it down…maybe! Possibly! Probably!
Greg is something else. With him having to leave Caine is going to have to be on his guard. Although I’m sure someone else will want to have his back. He’s just not used to that.
Thanks Beth! These pics actually took me a good two hours to get! Blah! The writing was the easy part!
[Reply]
LOL! Poor Caine, he will never do the right thing where Alana is concerned will he…I think it is so cute the way he is coming to terms with his connection to her. Now if only Alana would. And he was trying to be such a good Alpha male…
Amazing work with the shots and poses. I loved the idea of kicking the puddles and drawing it back to his father.
So…wonder what will happen with Julius? Probably a lot more trouble for him before he gets “rescued”.

Poor pup! No, he won’t! Not until he actually ASKS if she needs anything! Of course then he wouldn’t be Caine would he?
Thanks Gayl! Tried not to use too many poses. I love kicking up puddles and so does Caine. I caught him doing it after I moved them to a different lot and didn’t have free will turned off! And I can see Bernard kicking up puddles as well!
Hmm…I don’t know! I have one more thing in store for him and then…we shall see!
Thanks for reading and commenting!

What a looooong wait to see the results of Caine’s “help”. But oh, it was so worth it. I loved this chapter. The realism is so there, cause I have had my share of bad hair episodes…and the feelings are so there. Becca gets her feelings completely..I am so happy she was there to help. Keep up the good work sis! I’m lovin it!!! I can’t wait to see what kind of hair style you fix her up with.
And by the way…..Caine is seeeexxxxy!!!!

LOL! No you didn’t! It wasn’t that long! Okay, maybe it was but I had to get some other stuff out the way first! I can’t just focus on Alana and Caine you know! No matter how much I love them!
Oh god! I KNOW you have had your bad hair experience!! LMAO! LOL!!! Hahahahaha!! Yeah, black hair is just not made for some of the story ours went through is it! Especially *snickers* yours! Okay, okay! I’ll stop sis!
Like I told you…I hadn’t realized how cute he was! I loved your reaction on the phone though! That was great! Thanks so much for…well…everything!
[Reply]
hahahaha! O, dear!
I hope Becca will menage to save Alana’s hair (or atleast what is left of it). That hair would piss off a much calmer person than Alana. Caine should’ve known better! Greg should better teach him a few things, otherwise he might not live very long 
I can’t wait to see what will Alana do to poor Caine in the chapters to come, that should bring a lot of fun for us, and a lot of pain for him. 
And matching PJs were such an adorable detail. Aww! I’m so warming up to those two.

Yeah! Caine jacked her hair up! Becca should be able to help her…Becca’s hair is awesome so hopefully…we shall see!
Caine is new to this whole mate thing and a male Lycan’s first instinct is to provide for his mate. Poor kiddo! LMAO!! Yeah! You are so right! He won’t live long at all!!
Alana is a fighter for sure. She just hasn’t realized that yet! I’m throwing so much at her. I’m surprised she even gets out of bed!
LOVE the matching PJs!!! I love them already! Haha!!
Caine is so hot! All he did with his was hack away at it and plop some gunk on it that he found in the bathroom. He doesn’t really care about how he looks. Although Caine with orange hair might not be THAT bad!
[Reply]
Awww, don’t go bonkers Alana, he was just tryin to help! LOL. Her reponse was about expected though really, she hates admiting that Caine ever does anything good, doesn’t she?
Oh and he’s looking mighty fine with that new cut and shave!
Love the rules about women, might have to pick myself back up off the floor after those! Ha ha, never come between a woman and chocolate…period! LOL.

HAHAHA! OMG! Alana’s hair, her reaction… TOO FUNNY. Poor girl. Caine, you silly fool, what did you do?! Totally not the way to a lady’s heart, y’know!
“Three, you don’t fuck up their hair when they’re unconscious.” Couldn’t you have given him this info EARLIER Greg? LOL
