While many families reunited and celebrated Thanksgiving together, some other families reunited for many different reasons —Darker reasons.
Yui's attack on Kang Ho's gang had many repercussions. For one, this made her the undisputed ruler of K-Town. There were other relatively bigger gangs there but none of them would actually dare to face her now that she had shown her fangs.
At the same time, many gangs outside of K-Town were observing and wondering if they should attack in order to get some of the Cake or discuss how to handle Feng Huang Yui now.
[Beverly Hills; Los Angeles]
Sitting in front of her mirror, while Alexendra worked on her hair, Natasha was trying to breathe deeply in order to calm down a little.
"Nervous?"
"A little. This is the first time all the family will be reunited in the same place. They are already there, right?"
Since she was born an alpha, Natasha had always been slightly put aside from her siblings.
This was in no way out of malice but simply because her aura could negatively affect them and make them consider her as her leader. Which would have caused many small trouble in the family.
This was also why, the moment she came of age, she moved out. Not only to get more freedom but also to lower the burden on her family.
"Your training has been coming along well. So you should not worry. Be proud Natasha and either way, they will all be happy to see you."
Natasha breathed deeply and nodded.
Looking at her own reflection in the mirror, she admired herself. She was wearing a rather masculine black suit and pants alongside a white shirt. This was nothing out of ordinary.
But, because of her assets—or lack thereof, she had quite the androgynous appearance and one would confuse her as the silver prince rather than the Silver Princess as long as they did not look at her face nor pay attention to her frame.
Once Alexandra finally finished with her hair, she stood up.
It was time to see her family.
.
.
.
The Great Wolves.
Be it in the supernatural world or the criminal underworld, it was a renowned and feared group made of very dangerous people.
The current leaders of the groups were Antonius Alexandrovitch Nikitina and his wife Marfa Nikitina.
Two people who were known for their ruthlessness and how cold-hearted they were when dealing with enemies.
But in the end, those two ruthless leaders whose names were sometimes used to scare children asleep in certain families were parents like many others.
—And Like many parents, they could be quite invasive.

The moment Natasha pushed into the large living room that was being occupied, she was greeted with the pitiful sight of a black-haired young girl who looked to be around her early teens, sitting on the lap of a silver-haired mature woman with a rather feminine body.
The girl was helplessly being manhandled and was trying to fight back but to no avail. The grip of the older woman was simply too strong.
The girl's eyes lit up like she had seen her savior when Natasha came and begged while mouthing.
'Save me!'
Natasha gave a smile at this and spoke, "Mother, You should hug Fedora more. You know at her age it's hard to be honest."
"My, what a delightful proposal."
Marfa, who had been hugging her daughter with her eyes closed, opened them and gazed at Natasha with her red pupils before hugging Fedora more tightly.
The eyes of Fedora that were filled with betrayal did make Natasha feel a little guilty. But it was better to sacrifice her sister rather than be in her place.
"My dear sister of mine. As treacherous and mischievous as I remembered."
Natasha smiled and turned to the young black-haired man who was holding a glass of wine.
His eyes were shining with mirth as he observed everything that was going on,
"Forgive me but I went and took wine from your cave."
"You are the one who filled the cave in the first place."
She was speechless by action but to her words, he only smiled. "Like a rabbit who has many holes, A man must have many wine caves."
"Ah. Mischa darling, come to mother."
Fedora finally managed to escape after their mother opened her arms wide for her son but he only took a few steps back with a bitter smile,
"Mother, I am 24. I believe I am a little too old for cuddling."
Mikhail or Mischa for his mother knew very well that once he was in her arms, she would not let go until another sibling came. He couldn't really let his older brother and sister see him in such a compromising situation.
At least this was what he thought until he saw the hurt look in his mother's eyes.
Sighing, he placed down the glass of wine and walked up to her until she hugged him.
"Hehehe."
From the way she laughed mischievously, he knew that she had tricked him. But what could he do? He was weak to the tears of women. Even more so when it was my own mother.
It didn't take long for two more men to enter the room. They were slightly older looking than Mikhail but the similarities were clear. What was interesting to witness was that the two were twins.
One woman with beautiful long black hair and the other one…A silver-haired young man.
"It seems like our dear little brother is still a mom-con."
Mikhail blushed when his elder sister mocked him.
Thankfully for him, he was spared further embarrassment when his brother approached and kneeled down before taking their mother's hand in his and kissing it. He seemed quite happy and his heterochromatic eyes, red and blue, seemed to be shining.
"How have you been, mother? I see your complexion is as healthy as always."
"My, Alexei, such a charming young man. You are the only one who complimented me."
"I mean. Do you even need compliments about your beauty at your age? Aren't you ashamed?"
The elder sister laughed but immediately began to whistle like nothing happened when Marfa glared at her.
"Don't listen to Elmira, mother. She is simply jealous of your grace."
"Damn. I forgot how much of a bootlicker you were. How can I have a twin like you."
Elmira face-palmed and approached Natasha before patting her on the back;
"So. Little sister. I heard you had a rather exciting month. Something about kidnapping and devil summoning?"
The others stopped playing around and looked at Natasha. But, just as she was about to answer.
*Step*
The sound of someone entering reached them and they all turned toward the source.
It was a man. A man that was relatively on the normal side when it came to height. But the impression that a giant had stepped into the room could never be shaken off.
Holding a cane with a wolf head, a pair of black gloves with the insignia of a howling wolf, a scarf around his neck, and a hat covering his expression, the pressure he was emanating silenced the whole room.
This was Antonius Alexandrovitch Nikitina, the leader of the Great Wolves and a man respected in the world.
He looked at everyone silently, his red eyes glistening and the pressure became even thicker but,
*Bonk*
"Tosha. Stop scaring your children. You aren't on a battlefield."
Like a lie, the pressure receded completely and he looked back behind him with a bitter smile,
"Old Hag, why must you always break my cool scenes?"
Alexandra, clad in her maid outfit laughed, "You can have your cool scene as you want when fighting. Not here."
If anyone who knew Antonius' reputation saw this scene, they would open their mouth wide in shock.
But for the people here, this was nothing more than usual.
Sighing, Antonius looked at his family before nodding, "I am happy to see everyone is well and alive. I have two orders to discuss today."
He bent down a little as Alexandra took away his scarf and coat,
"Firstly, we need to discuss how to deal with the Wild Hunt."
"Why? Just increasing her territory doesn't make her a threat."
Antonius looked quietly at Elmira. A quiet stare filled with pressure and in the end, she took a step back and bowed slightly,
"Sorry."
"Very well. As I was saying before I got rudely interrupted, I have news and while the increase in territory is not a matter of concern, it seems like her gang recruited a new Gold-level member."
This definitely got everyone's attention. After all, Gold-level hunters were no joke and could be game changers in any organization.
"As for the second new… We made calculations. The full moon will appear on the 9th of December. Perfect for your Birthday."
He looked at Natasha as he spoke, "Are you sure you are ready?"
She did not hesitate.
"I am."
