Summary: → With so much on their plate, it was all too easy to get bogged down in all the things that needed to be done. For mendenbar01 who reminded me how much I enjoyed writing in this verse.
A/N: → This is a small snippet from the Four Under a Blood Red Moon verse – it is not necessary to read that story to understand this one, but it might help! Basically, Spike is unchipped, Xander is a hyena/werewolf hybrid and they live as a clan/pack with the mated Angel and Oz. Following taking down the Initiative once and for all, Xander is now the alpha of a pack of werewolves.

Cordelia had teased him about it once and he had given her the finger and said he did it for the warmth. That was partly it – you couldn't deny that sleeping amidst a pile of twenty three werewolves was a bloody warm place to be. Twenty three – bloody hell, the pack had grown since they had got back from Sunnydale. They'd got a bit of a reputation actually – something about their weird leadership group seemed to have them crawling out of the woodwork, looking for sanctuary, a home and a pack.
