Marcus dropped Cally off in front of guild hall and drove himself to the underground parking area. It was simply more convenient for him to do this than the standard valet parking that had taken care of Cally earlier in the day. This also freed up the valet to carry pastries. Leaving his SUV Marcus called the clinic that was treating the Red Cliffs werewolves for a medical up date. The clinic was close by guild hall and could handle almost any werewolf emergency. Broken bones take time to heal even for werewolves but all of Catherine's people had healed enough to leave. The only wolf still in the clinic was Tom Richardson with the pulverized knee.
Richardson was a cruel bastard. Marcus expected he would try to cause problems for the Wotan women at least until Jean Michel intervened. Marcus shook off thoughts of future problems and entered the lift that was beside his parking space. Being head of security allowed him to have perfect access to his car and office. The elevator opened beside both. Walking into his office he was met with not just one but several council members. Thankfully Catherine wasn't there, "Ladies and gentlemen of the council how may I be of service?" Marcus eyed the members. Their moods seemed quite agitated.
Renard was one of the older wolves, he answered for all of them, "Is she here? Where is she? Is she angry? How many of Catherine's people did she kill?" Renard didn't seem to be slowing down with his questions so Marcus waved a hand in front of his face to gain his attention. "Please slow down, step into the conference room and I will tell you everything I know. Will this suffice?" The small knot of werewolf politicians preceded Marcus to the conference room and sat. They watched as he entered with fixed attention. "Her name is Cally Wotan. She says Rebecca is no longer with us. I just got back from taking her to see Olen and making arrangements for him. I believe she means to give him a full Viking funeral in 4 days. "
Renard spoke up again, "Catherine's people, what did they do to upset her? Did she kill them?" This was a most pressing issue to the half dozen werewolf leaders. A pissed off Wotan is a pissed off volcano. Marcus then took his seat at the head of the table. They had after all come to him. "Cally is a young girl. She seems to be very high strung. Choking Councilwoman Rosemount one moment and then bouncing around a room the next. However she is very focused on handling Olen's affairs at the moment and that maybe part of why she attacked Rosemount's people. They entered Olen's rooms and were packing up his things to supposedly to move Councilwoman Rosemount in. I just spoke to the clinic, Cally broke bones on all them except Tom Richardson so they have been treated and released."
The only female in the room, Councilwoman Angela Perez, frowned and said, "Catherine is a fool. She probably has no understanding of the position and power of the Wotan Clan. They are incredibly lucky it wasn't Becca or Marta. Either of them would have stripped their bloody pelts and hung them on the door. That bastard Richardson, tell me she killed him at least?" Angela had had her own run ins with Richardson. He was well known not to behave well around women.
Renard sat and thought for several moments as the other councilmen talked excitedly. A big bear of a man, most automatically followed his lead. He finally said, "No, she acted as she did because wolves entered her domain without permission. Perfectly understandable. Cally? you said? She will be more easy going than what we knew or remember of Rebecca and Marta. What did Richardson do to receive different treatment?" Looking at Marcus; Renard was a leader of the council and others naturally followed his orders but Marcus was undeniably the man in charge of security of Clan Home.
"Cally has two newly turned wolves with her. I believe Richardson got to close to them during the confrontation. Cally crushed his knee. He will be lucky if they can save the leg. I personally have never seen bone crushed to that extent that wasn't done by mechanical methods." Marcus was interested in the reactions of the council members. They all seemed relieved!
"So at this moment she is, where? Back at guild hall? " Angela looked at her fellow council members, "Should we prepare gifts? Go visit? I have never met the Wotan. What is the proper procedure?" All eyes turned to Marcus as he had interacted with her. "When she left me at the front hall she had cheesecake and doughnuts headed to her rooms."
"No no we mustn't disturb her right now. We will wait til she leaves her rooms." exclaimed Renard. He had got between Rebecca and food once. She was scary. The council quickly left to update their clans on the changes at Clan Home. The Wotan was home.
