"We were talking while you slept. After what we saw you
do last night, we feel keeping this a secret is not doing you
any favors."
"You want other werewolves to know I'm the one from the
prophecy?"
"Yes," Royce said. "Roxie, you are more powerful than any
werewolf I know. You are able to do what has been
considered impossible. Quite frankly, we have no idea what
you're capable of. That being said, to keep anything like last
night from happening again, all the packs must know about
you. We've already started spreading the word. Soon every
werewolf will hear the story of how you defeated Gren and his
men basically single handed."
"So I'm the one with higher authority, am I?" When all
three men nodded, she turned to the one who hadn't said
anything yet. "Do you agree with their decision, Wade?"
Wade nodded again. "It's the only viable option, Roxie. I
know it'll make our lives a little easier." He gestured to
Beowulf and Royce as well as himself. "Take pity on the poor
males who would feel it's their duty to protect you."
Roxie snorted. "All right, all right. No need to get all noble
on me. What do I have to do?"

Beowulf and Roxie
by Marisa Chenery
The sound of the doorbell ringing could be heard. Beowulf
got up. "You don't have to do anything. They'll come to you.
And, if I'm not mistaken, I think the first has arrived."
Watching Beowulf leave the room, Roxie didn't know what
to think about all this. Beowulf returned accompanied by
another werewolf. He introduced himself as the leader of his
pack. Seeing the mark around her wrist, he bent his head and
offered his throat in submission. Unsure what was expected of
her, she looked at Beowulf for guidance. Smiling he took her
hand and placed it on the other man's neck. The ritual now
completed, the newcomer left as quickly as he had arrived.
The rest of the day Roxie spent in much the same manner.
Other pack leaders arrived to offer her their submission,
which in turn she acknowledged. Beowulf never strayed very
far. Smiling at him as he led in the next person who had
come calling, Roxie knew her life had definitely taken a turn
for the better. Her hermit days were long over. And if it
hadn't been for Candice meddling in her life, as was her want,
she would never have met Beowulf at Wulf's Den. Fate, it
would seem, had indeed led her to where she needed to be.
