Marshall indicated for the other council members to follow William, efficiently ending the discussion. Nikolai looked like he was going to object, but then followed the others.

Several hours later, after eating and assigning everyone a room, Marshall, William, and Aiden decided to step outside for a little chat. Marshall’s office was soundproof, but with the security issue, they didn’t want to take chances.

When they exited the back door, they stumbled to an abrupt halt. A few feet from the woods behind the house, there were six people laughing hysterically and falling all over each other while they attempted to remove their clothes. They also all had different colored hair. He was pretty sure this was the result of girl’s night.

Aiden was also sure they were all drunk off their asses.

He watched Sorcha stumble and fall into Cassie as she tried to pull her pants off. Cassie caught her but wobbled too far over and almost fell into Darren’s back. Darren, trying to avoid falling forward, leaned too far back, and landed on his butt. And Kenzie was trying to help Raven pull her fishnet shirt over her head, while Brianna was hopping around on one foot trying to pull her boot off.

They didn’t notice the guys at all. It was the most ridiculous thing he had ever seen.

As werewolves, they were all used to seeing each other naked so that was normal. But watching a bunch of drunk people fumble and fall all over themselves, he couldn’t contain his laughter.

Marshall was already chuckling, and William was covering his mouth, trying to keep his laughter in.

Aiden couldn’t help it. He laughed out loud, drawing the attention of the whole group. It seemed to just make them laugh and struggle more. Sorcha finally freed her leg from her pants and wrapped her arm around Kenzie’s, pulling her toward the guys.

Since Kenzie had been helping Raven, Raven seemed to be stuck in her shirt which was halfway over her head. She shrieked a little as she struggled.

Darren, getting back to his feet, stumbled over to her and tore the shirt down the middle. Raven looked surprised for a moment, then busted out laughing, “DARREN! That’s my favorite shirt!”

She was slurring so badly that it was difficult to understand her.

Sorcha and Kenzie reached them and promptly fell into Marshall, who caught both women. He gently held them away from him, “Hello ladies. I see girl’s night is going well.”

He took a strand of Sorcha’s blue striped hair in his hand, “I like the color. It suits you.”

Sorcha smiled big, “Why thank you sir!”

The women started giggling and wobbling again. Kenzie let go of Sorcha to stumble over to Aiden, and in the same way they fell into Marshall, she bulldozed into him.

He caught her, trying to keep his hands away from any exposed flesh, “Hey Kenz.”

“Heyyyy handsome!” She drew the words out, “We’re going running! Wanna come?”

Well, that explained the stripping.

He looked at Marshall and William, “Wanna relieve some stress and get away from the house for a bit? Keep these drunkards from falling into a ravine somewhere?”

Over mind-link, to Marshall and William he said,“We can discuss other matters away from eavesdroppers.”

No longer laughing, both men nodded. Focusing back on Kenzie, he said, “Alright sweetheart, a run sounds awesome.”

“Yay!” Sorcha squeaked and grabbed Kenzie again to lead her back over to the now naked group. The two women finished stripping down, then they all turned back waiting for them to join the party.

They quickly removed their clothes and shifted. The cracking of bones echoed eerily in the night.

It was so weird seeing a bunch of colorful drunken wolves. Usually they were pretty graceful, but the girls and Darren were just as clumsy on four legs as they were on two. Aiden watched as Brianna stepped into a mud puddle, covering half her leg. She pulled her paw out and started shaking it to get the mud off and ended up splattering everyone around her.

It caused another round of laughter, which was extremely weird coming from a bunch of wolves. It almost sounded like a chuffing sound or coughing.

“Oh my gosh. You guys look like a pack of hyenas! A colorful bunch of hyenas.”The colors they had dyed their hair came through in their wolf fur. It was a strange sight to see.

A rainbow pack of wolves.

Aiden looked at Marshall and he was just shaking his head. William had a big wolfy smile on his face. Apparently, he was enjoying himself.

Raven was standing there in her bra and ripped jeans, petting the top of Brianna’s head. He wasn’t sure why she had started stripping since she couldn’t shift. But being a wolf now, he couldn’t ask her.
