Runt, that's what his nickname was and what he was called by almost everyone instead of his name. He was the smallest werewolf in his pack and he was abused terribly by the others. Even if I was the son of the Alpha, I couldn't do anything to help him. Let me explain a few things before we continue. Werewolves exist and we're nothing like in the movies. There are actually more forms of Weres than just wolves. There are Weres of almost any land based mammal from elephants to lions to squirrels. Each country had or has a predominant species, America once was wolves, but now it is quite diversified with no one being more numerous than another. Africa has Lions, England has foxes, Russia has bears, India has tigers, the Middle-East has camels, Australia has kangaroos, the Arctic has polar bears and Antarctic has Penguins but like I said, its possible to be almost any species.

Our animal half is like another conciousness that lives with us. Only other Weres can see or hear them, in my case a wolf, usually the size of a German Shepard, follows me around everywhere. Yes, I know wolves are bigger than that but they are only one half of the whole. So while I am out of wolf form they are smaller than a normal wolf. There is a mental connection between us and our wolves and they are usually the emotional and behavioural polar opposite to us. The best way to explain it is if a Were is care free and reckless, our animal is calm and cautious, if we are logical, and shy, our animal is playful and adventurous. We can shift any time we wish, but on full moons our animal usually takes over though it can still follow our instructions if we need to take over.

My wolf is fully white, with bright blue eyes. First Alpha of our pack to ever be white or have blue eyes. My father was the usual brown with white belly and black eyes. Colour didn't usually mean much but the superstitious of Weres would think that a colouration like mine means that I was destined for something special.

Our packs are upwards of a thousand usually and we usually inhabited whole towns or suburbs. Packs usually consist of other species not just one, with each forming off into its own groups such as lion prides or herds of horses. Each group has its own Alpha, who is part of the 'Council' which is chaired by the Alpha in charge of the whole community. In this case it was my father and eventually me when he stepped down. We have three forms, Human, Wolf, and Hybrid or anthro which is usually an appealing combination of human and wolf. The hybrid form differs from Were to Were, but the only constant things is that our tail and ears appear. We age slower than humans, living possibly two hundred years before old age finishes us off.

In case you are wondering, Weres are not the only 'mythological' being that exist. Vampires, Angels, Demons and a race called the 'Mongers' all exist. Wars were commonly fought between us with the most common being Vampires against Weres and Angels against Demons.

Both races age at one tenth the speed of humans, Angels and Demons had been waring for thousands of years with neither side remembering why their war had started or when. They are both exceedingly powerful races, and more often than not would and could wipe out entire towns with a conflict. Just after the second world war, a cessation of hostilities was declared and they haven't fought since but relations are still tense between them.

Vampires are nothing like the movies, especially that pathetic series Twilight. They can walk openly in the sunshine although it causes them some discomfort. They are faster and stronger than humans but only at night. They usually live in family clusters, only ever banding together in times of war. These wars are most commonly like mob squabbles, with two or three Vampire family's banding together to take on a werewolf pack, eventually neither side winning and a cease fire being called.

Mongers are a mystery to everyone. They are very few in numbers and as far as we know, near immortal. Their name comes from the fact they show up during the great wars, and use their immense power to end them. In the last great war between races, a single Monger blew a town, now called dead man's pass, off the map leaving nothing but a crater behind. Our own mythology says that Atlantis was their home city where there was peace between all races on a continent called Avalon. When war between the Angels and Demons broke out within the city spurring a conflict between Weres and Vampires, the leader of the Mongers, in a single move, destroyed Avalon and everyone with it. There is a legend among Weres that the Hiroshima bomb was in fact a cover-story for the actions of the Mongers. Weres, Vampires, Angels and Demons had started to get involved in the war, trying to turn humans to each races own cause. It was seen as a warning to all of us, not to get involved in the wars of humans and not to draw them into our own. If we did then the Mongers would act.

Anyway, back to why 'Runt' was in trouble. As Weres our mates usually mean even more to us than the pack does. We have a saying 'packs are for life, Mates are forever'. Our mate is someone we have no choice over and that we love automatically from the moment we see them. It is uncommon but not unheard of that males will fall in love with other males or females with females. What is unheard of is what has happened to poor Runt. While out on a hunt, he met his mate, a male human. Runt, or Neil which was his proper given name, was the Omega of the wolves in the town. Omegas are usually runts, and are the weakest wolves in the pack. They commonly bring disgrace to the family they are born into, so parents often kill the runts of their litters to save themselves from the ridicule.

My father, the Alpha of the were community, had them both locked up in the pack cells as soon as he found out. Runt and his mate were in front of my father on their knees. Runt's wolf was curled up against the human all three of them whimpering and crying as they were looked down on by my father, who swiftly gave the human a kick to the stomach causing him to topple backwards with a wheeze and cough.

"Pathetic creatures!" He said disdainfully "And you Runt! I never thought you could sink any lower. Being Mates to a piece of human trash! I don't need to wake the council to decide the fate of you two pieces of garbage! Runt, for exposing us to the Humans, you are sentenced to be executed!"

"Dad!" I called a little shocked

"Silence boy!" He called waving his hand in my direction "Your mate will also be put to death along with all humans he has come in contact with in the last twenty four hours! GUARDS!" The two guards outside the door walked in obediently, they were my fathers personal body guards named Jeb and Leon.

"Yes Alpha?" Jeb asked

"Kill them, then take a platoon, and wipe out this trash human's family, and anyone else they may have had contact with," He growled looking down at them "Recruit the Leo family, they have been itching to show they are powerful."

"Dad stop!"

"I SAID SILENCE, Or do you want to JOIN them!?" He looked back at me half crazed. I knew he had hated humans, but this was going a bit far "You two, Kill them!"

"I'm sorry, can't let you do that." A soft voice called, it was calm, and felt emotionally cold but firm. A bright light filled the room and at the door stood someone in a long brown robe with a cowl covering his face.

"Who the hell are you!? How dare you enter my home!" My father called angrily. The hooded figure moved slowly but deliberately. Taking off his robe to expose himself beneath, he was covered in red scales, and looked like an anthro eastern Dragon. His eyes had slits instead of normal pupils, and were golden in colour. He had two horns on his head that swept back gracefully with spines running down his back and two long white whiskers fell from either side of his snout.

"Alpha Skylar Andies Smith." He said walking slowly deeper into the room to stand behind Runt and his mate "I am here to inform you that your time as an Alpha is at its end. Every species was warned about war with humans on August sixth, 1945, at eight fifteen AM and here you are, ignoring our warning." I blinked, why did that sound familiar... Wait wasn't that the date and time of Hiroshima!? Was the legend really true? Was this guy a Monger!? I looked to my father who seemed to just be getting more and more angry. I looked back when I heard the dragon click his fingers, and an ornate sword appeared in front of me.

"You now have Two Options, Alpha Skylar." He said "We are ready to kill your entire pack if need be, and can do so with one wave of my hand. I am however, willing to spare the loss of innocent lives for your blood lust, if you submit to the ruling and allow your son to end your life, and take over as Alpha. You have One minute to decide"

I looked to my father who now looked even more angry, his wolf sat on the desk and seemed to sigh knowing that this wouldn't end well and looked at me pleadingly. My father had been ignoring his wolf for months now, and the poor thing seemed to have given up on trying.

"How dare you!" He started "How dare you enter my home and threaten ME!" He pulled his nine millimetre hand gun from its holster and started to shoot at him, only for the bullets to stop mid air before dropping to the floor.

"You have thirty seconds to come to your decision Alpha. One more outburst like that and I will act on my own accord." I blinked and saw my father suddenly lunge at him screaming like a madman and I acted before I knew what I was doing. A moment later I was between them with the sword run though my fathers chest and out his back. The look of shock on his face was mirrored by my own look of desperation.

"Wh...Why? Callen Why?" He asked looking up at me.

"Better you," I started slowly "Than the pack." I gave him a soft push and pulled the sword free, watching as my father fell to the floor in front of me.

"Thank you." His wolf said weakly and curled up on my fathers chest before vanishing, both passing away.

"Alpha Callen Smith," The Monger said from behind me and I turned to face him "I apologise for putting you in the position that you had to kill you father but we both know..."

"It was necessary," I finished his sentence for him and placed the sword to one side "My father was sick, and had become a tyrant and a bully, its just a shame that I needed your help to put an end to it."

"I am glad to have been of assistance." He said with a bow and turned to leave

"Sir?" I called after him "Come back any time."

"If I were you," He started coldly, turning to look at me "I would hope we never meet again, for if we did, it means that we would be at this cross road again." He turned away and vanished leaving us in my fathers old office.

"Sir?" I heard Jeb asked from behind me.

"All standing orders from my father are suspended!" I said "Leave us, I wish to talk to these two alone, take that with you." I motioned to my fathers lifeless body and waited for them to leave and close the doors before sitting behind my fathers desk.

"I always hated this room," My wolf muttered and I looked up to see it nuzzling with Runt's own "Too many bad decisions and memory's of our father."

"Mmm, I agree," I responded with a sigh "Anyway, you two, up, Neil help your human to stand." They did as there were told and I gave a soft smile seeing Runts worried face, and his wolf still whimpering pressed up against his humans legs.

"Calm down, I know that your choice of mate is something you can't control," I started slowly "You two are free to go home and live your lives. If anyone else has problems with you, come tell me and I will end it for you." They nodded slowly.

"Thank you Alpha." They both said and I chuckled.

"Oh and Neil," I said with a smile drawing his attention back to me "Don't let anyone call you 'Runt' again, consider than an order from your Alpha. Now see the guards outside to get those cuffs off." I waved them off and they walked out.

"Anders, get in here!" I called pushing the intercom to call in my new Beta.

"You rang?" He said walking in, trying to pull off a 'Lurch' impersonation from the Adams Family and rolled his 'R's. Anders was the largest wolf in the pack, six foot nine as a human, he was intimidating in his wolf form, and more so in his hybrid form where he was near seven foot two. He was the same age as I was, and had even gone to the same school. He liked to make fun of himself for his size and would often play 'big bad wolf' with the cubs at the local daycare.

"I need you to awaken the Council. Sadly the rules do not allow for delay in announcing me as the new Alpha." I told him slowly "Tell them they are to be at the council chambers in thirty minutes. After that, inform the pack I will be making an announcement and new rules, understood?"

"Yarp" He said still sticking to his impersonation with a smile and a nod.

"Good; Go." He nodded and vanished out the door leaving me to start sorting out the paperwork on the desk after calling for a cleaner. This was going to be a very long, very trying day.

The council meeting went as well as could be expected. Anders had supported me and said that if they wanted to fight me for leadership, they had to go through him first. Later that day was the pack meeting. It was mostly televised to the pack, although with a large number of them in the auditorium to hear their new Alpha's first speech.

"As well as the change to leadership, I am changing a few rules." I announced looking around the room "One, my Fathers rules of no hybrid form to be used is hereby Amended to in public. We don't want government agents sniffing around but feel free to be comfortable at home or in the safety of a building. Two, my fathers rule of no contact with humans is hereby rescinded, just be sensible about it, do not expose us to ANYONE but your mate if you happen to meet them. Three, My fathers rule of death to humans who come onto pack lands is rescinded, we need trade and that means human contact. Four, my fathers rule of gay couples to be exiled, is hereby rescinded, permanently! If ANY of you have a problem with that, See Him." I thumbed to Anders standing next to me in his Hybrid form. The camera shifted to get a look at him and he laid his ears back and growled softly pulling his lips back to expose his teeth.

"Down boy," I chuckled and got the same from the audience "There will be more changes to come. For now, the border guard is to be reinforced along our southern border with the vampire clans and north east where the rogues were spotted, they may try to act on the turbulence of the change of leadership. Any questions?" I was a little surprised when I saw only a single hand go up.

"Ah Neil, Yes I almost forgot," I smiled and cleared my throat "I have heard rumours of parents killing the runts of their litters, and I am all too aware of the abuse that befalls the runts that survive. Let me make this as clear as day for all of you. If I hear one more thing about mistreatment to the runts of this community, you will be severely punished understand? The eighteenth century thinking has got to stop." There was an unsteady shuffling around the room and I waited for it to finish.

"Good! That concludes today's conference. Have a good day, and stay safe." I turned and walked off stage with Anders in close step behind me.

"You handled that well sir." He said as he walked up beside me.

"Mmm," Was all I responded with "I feel some of it was ignored"

"Like what?"

"Like the treatment of Runts," I started slowly "And no violence to humans... I swear we are still living in the dark ages!"

"If we hear of anything, I'll put a stop to it." Anders said as we walked into the office and my wolf growled.

"No!" I said sharply turning to look at him making him jump at the assertiveness "I'm the Alpha now, if anything comes up, I will deal with it. It is my job as Alpha to do that." Anders looked hurt but nodded.

"Yes, my Alpha." He said and gave a slight bow "They took the news of being allowed to be hybrids again well, half the audience changed then and there!" I chuckled and nodded as we entered my office, now cleaned of blood.

"Yes I noticed, You played your roll well too." I smiled and sat down in the chair behind the desk

"I must object to you talking to me like a common dog though." He pouted and I pointed to a the chair on the other side of the desk.

"Sit boy." I watched with some amusement as he sat before he realised what I had said "Take it as no insult Anders, I only do it because I know I can get away with it."

"And here I thought my Mate was the only one who could degrade me that way!" We both laughed heartily at this comment.

I sat in the office for some time talking with Anders and working on Pack business. We needed to grow, to advance, my father had begun talking about a skyscraper or the likes for the pack to all live in or at least do business in before he let his brain turn to mouldy soup. I looked over the designs, and made changed where I thought they would be needed until I decided to scrap them and start the whole design over again from the ground up. Anders helped me come up with ideas, and before long we had a general idea of what we wanted. It was around two o'clock in the afternoon when Jeb busted in.

"SIR!" He called urgently "There has been a Mauling at the north of town!"

"A mauling? Surely the pack can play nice with each other during this change of leadership?" My wolf growled out from his place next to the desk where it was laying.

"No sir, it was a young human that was mauled!"

"God damn it all!" I muttered and got up quickly and grabbed my things "Get the car ready, Anders your coming with me, call the Pack doctor we will need her there!"

"Yes sir" Jeb turned and bolted out of the room.

"First fucking day, they cant even follow my orders for the first fucking day!" I muttered putting on my long coat and walked out to the car and got into the passenger seat "Leon, you drive, Jeb, do you know any more details?"

"Only that it was a female who committed the attack sir." He said getting out his mobile to call the doctor.

"This better not happen every day, I'll never get any work done!" I muttered with a growl and Anders laughed.

We pulled into the drive way of the pack members house with the car making a soft screech. The doctor hadn't arrived yet as we piled out of the car. I didn't even knock before I just opened the door and walked in. I had entered the lounge room by the looks of it, it was quiet and peaceful save for the smell of blood in the air.

"Alpha!" A female called. I looked over to see a female in Hybrid form sitting on the lounge with blood all over her claws and muzzle.

"Where is the human?" I asked sharply and she looked a little shocked that it was the first thing I asked.

"I...In the laundry being looked at by my mate.." She whimpered softly. I nodded at Jeb and Anders sending them in to check.

"Get me ID" I called "Leon, stay here and keep this door closed to anyone but us and the doctor, Got it!?" He nodded and I sighed softly stepping in closing the door behind me.

"What happened?" I half snapped at her clearly irritated but was trying to calm myself.

"I...I'm sorry Alpha... I woke up in wolf form with my cubs, he was standing over us... I acted before I had a chance to stop myself." I gave a sigh and nodded.

"Its understandable, you were defending your cubs." I said softly.

"Sir, we found his ID!" Anders called.

"Stay," I said to her making her chuckle and walked down to the laundry "show me." Anders handed me the ID card for the young human.

"Male human, twenty one years of age, name, Ruban Fairfeild. According to the text messages on his phone he is a run away, has been away from his parents for almost six months now." He passed me the smart phone for me to peruse "I have had a look at him, he is fairly banged up, possible broken leg, but he seems to have marks from self harm on his arms, some of them very recent."

"Hmm, so he's been in our territory for a while then," I muttered looking through the phone "Looks like he slipped up, what in the world would draw him inside some ones house if he is a runaway? ok lets see him." I passed the phone and ID to Anders before walking into the laundry room.

Something made me stop, a smell of wild flowers and mangos, a tingling down my spine, what was that?

"Sir?" Anders asked over my shoulder and I shook myself out of it before walking forward again. I looked down at the human and the scent and feeling got stronger, like a spark or an explosion in my body. I blinked and noticed my wolf had laid down next to the human and placed his chin on his chest looking up at me with his deep blue eyes.

"What?" I asked and he wagged his tail.

"Mate!" He said simply the word hit me like a freight train.

"Our mate," We both said in unison, letting it echo out in my head and the room for a moment before I looked over my shoulder "Where the HELL is the Doctor?!"

I stared out the window of the spare bedroom in my home. Behind me on the bed was my mate, who was being tended to by the doctor. We had stabilised him and moved him back here so he would be close to me. I couldn't believe it, a human Mate... and a Male one at that, how would I continue the family line? An Alpha's main priority was offspring now what would I do? Was my family line to die out and cease being the head Alpha?

"Callen I really must protest!" The doctor said behind me making me break out of my trance.

"What is it Shelly?" I retorted not turning around.

"You keep getting in the way! I can't examine him or Treat him if your in the way!"She declared irritably.

"I'm not in your way," I responded calmly "I am by the window."

"Not You!" She said angrily "Your Wolf!" I gave a sigh and turned to see my white furry self laying on top of the boy growling when she tried to get closer.

"Ah I see now," I clicked my fingers "Come here you, she wont hurt him, if she did she would have her OWN mate to deal with, right Anders?" My wolf walked over to me and I looked to see my Beta sitting on a chair close by with her wolf on his lap. He was in his Hybrid form again, his pure black fur made him the polar opposite of myself, his pads and nose were bright pink, which was odd seeing as usually the colour changed to black as we age.

"As if!" He snorted "I may be the Beta but she holds the leash in the relationship!" He ducked when a pen flew his way.

"That's right, remember that if you want sex tonight!" She said evilly and returned to her work. I sighed and looked back out the window at the yard.

"This is rare." My wolf piped up.

"Oh what is?" I retorted looking down at him

"That you are deep in thought, usually your all go, go, go and I have got to do the thinking!"

"True, and you know what I'm thinking about." I said with a sigh.

"We can't leave him now," He piped up "You know what happens if we do." I nodded my head.

"What happens to every Were." I responded with a sigh. The madness was what we called it, it drove us to insanity and out the other side and it was almost certainly fatal either by suicide, or execution for crimes we committed.

"Death by a broken heart..." Shelly said softly "Not a good way to go."

"Alpha... Callen," Anders piped up "My job is to protect you... if you think of doing what I think you are, I'll pick up your desk and Beat you with it!" I saw my wolf cringe out of the corner of my eye and chuckled.

"Don't worry, I won't reject him," I said "I just don't know what I'm going to tell him!"

"Who you are would be a good place to start," Shelly said "Then get to the rest. You know the full moon is in a week, that's when it will happen. You wont be able to control him this time, you will be forced to mate with him if you want to or not." I gave a sigh and looked down at my wolf.

"At least be gentle with him." I asked and he wagged his tail.

"I will try, but if he moans for more, its free game!" I rolled my eyes and sighed.

"Ok I'm done here." Shelly said standing up. She sighed and rolled her eyes as my wolf ran over and was instantly on top of him again.

"How is he?" I asked and shook my head at my wolf who just stuck out his tongue.

"He is surprisingly in good condition," She said "Nothing serious besides the broken ankle. According to the report she had grabbed it and shaken quite roughly. He is severely malnourished, no surprise given he has been on the streets for so long. The cuts and scars on his arms worry me, some are quite old showing a long history of self harm. From what I can tell though, the attack didn't do much damage to him, some bite marks and scratches but his malnourishment probably caused him to pass out, which saved his life."

"Yes she said that she had attacked him and he just collapsed after a only a few moments, she took a few more bites before she got control." Anders spoke up.

"Water, bed rest, food, and no sharp objects! I have placed his foot in a temporary splint for now so its ok to move him. I will want to see him at the vet as early as possible to put a cast on that ankle. So you better explain everything before then!" Shelly said packing up her stuff and we heard him groan "He will wake up soon, Hun you should change, I don't think he will take well to seeing a half naked seven foot wolf." Anders nodded and grabbed his shirt, his body morphing back to his human self. When his wolf appeared next to him it nuzzled and licked at his mates.

"Ill be going now," She said "Good luck Alpha."

I sighed and sat down at the head of the bed and motioned to Anders to leave.

"I'll be outside the door" he said softly as my mate stirred.

I nodded and ran my fingers through his hair making him groan and open his eyes slowly. My wolf wagged his tail and growled happily as he woke up. "Wh...Wh.."

"Hello sleeping beauty," I said with a gentle smile. His eyes flew open and he went to sit up in a hurry. I placed my hand on his shoulder and held him down "Don't get up, the doctor says you need to rest, besides, where could you go on a broken foot?" He groaned again and placed his hand to his head.

"Who are you? Where am I?" He asked, his words were groggy, but I couldn't help but feel giddy at his voice.

"My name is Callen Smith," I answered slowly and tried not to glare at my wolf as he snickered at me "Where you are is in my home, do you remember anything?"

"I remember hearing puppies in distress and wanted to find them to help them..." he groaned rubbing his face more and my wolf seemed to perk up and wag his tail.

"Puppies! Mate cares about Puppies!" He said as he wagged his tail enthusiastically.

"Down boy." I thought at him and waited for the human to continue.

"I broke into the house... looking for food and maybe to help the puppies I could hear... then... I found them upstairs with a some large dog I think? Then everything is a blur..." I gave a sigh and nodded slowly. This talk would have been easier for Neil, he found his mate while in wolf form and didn't attack him. Sadly I didn't get that luxury, this would be tricky, I didn't want to scare him any more than he already was.

"Yes, you frightened her, she attacked to defend her pups before she realised what she was doing," I said softly "She called up a few minutes later for me to come help."

"Ok... either I banged my head badly... or you just said SHE called for help..." He muttered and looked up at me. Those eyes, deep emerald green, I almost felt myself swoon and get lost in them.

"No, you heard correct." I said smiling internally, maybe this angle would work.

"B...but that's not possible, a wolf cant use a phone!"

"Oh really now?" I said slowly and chuckled softly with a smile. My wolf jumped down and wandered out of the door to talk to Anders for me.

"Hey Anders, I want to surprise him!" I said to him "Take off your shirt, change to anthro, and come in here while on your mobile!"

"Sure thing," He responded "But why?"

"Just do it" I responded with a growl. Conveniently his mobile rang and he answered after he changed. I smiled more when the door opened, and the tall muscled ball of fluff walked in with his mobile to his ear. The look on Ruban's face was priceless, the look of utter shock with a slight bit of fear. I heard my wolf growl as we both thought of the possibility of someone harming him but stayed calm knowing it was only Anders.

"Alpha, It's the misses," He says putting his hand paw over the microphone "She says as soon as he is awake get him down to the clinic so she can get some X-rays of his foot and a cast on it, sooner the better she says."

"Thank you Anders." I said with a chuckle.

"H...he...wha...wh..hu...I..." the human stuttered next to me. Anders hung up the phone and walked over.

"Well hello there!" Anders said leaning down to place his nose just in front of the boy's, his tail wagging "Nice to see you awake! My name is Anders, and yes I like getting pats on the head."

I laughed and watched as the boy reached up and gently pat him on the head hesitantly a few times before Anders straightened up his tail still wagging.

"Alpha, I'll be downstairs getting the car ready." he said as he walked out I nodded and looked to my mate waiting to see his reaction.

"Wh... what IS he!?" He blurted out once the door clicked shut "A...And why did he call you 'Alpha'?"

I gave a chuckled sigh. "Ok, I can't honestly think of a way to explain to you, so I'll just be blunt," I stood up slowly and walked around in front of him "He, and I, are what you humans would call, werewolves."

"W... w... w..." he started and I raised my hand to stop him.

"Yes, werewolves, now before you go jumping to stereotypical conclusions, the movies got almost Everything wrong," he rested back still seeming a little fearful "For one, there is more than one species, you name it, there's a Were of it. Next, as you saw, we aren't the blood thirsty homicidal killing machines portrayed. We are a peaceful people for the most part, you just happened to startle a mother with her cubs."

"B...But he called you..."

"Alpha, correct, I am the leader of the community, the person you just met is Anders, my Beta, my body guard and second in command," I continued to watch him seeing him start to relax more "Please believe me when I say, no harm will come to you here. If I am not there to protect you, Anders will do it in my stead."

"Wh...what am I to you?" He asks slowly "I...I keep feeling something when I look at you..." I smile at this and walk over to him.

"That... I can't yet tell you just yet," I said slowly and my wolf growled at me "I know you have a thousand questions going through your mind right now... what's the most prominent one other than that one?" He thought for a moment before looking up at me again with those beautiful eyes that I just wanted to get lost in.

"Do you have a form like his? C...can I see it?" He asked and I smiled warmly.

"Of course you may!" I said a little excitedly and started to take off my shirt "I haven't been in my half form for a while, its time to fix that." My wolf wagged his tail and walked over to me, pressing himself against my leg before he vanished.

I gave a soft pleasured groan and kicked off my shoes as my feet and legs changed, becoming paws and digitigrade in stance. Muscles rippled and swelled up a bit as I gained a few inches in hight. White fur quickly sprouted all over my body, my tail grew out and my head reshaped to have a muzzle and ears on the top of my head. When finally I took in a deep breath, I opened my eyes to look down on him my eyes their deep sky sapphire blue.

"W...wow." Was the only thing he said and I smiled once more, my tail wagging behind me.

"This... is my hybrid form," I said slowly and walked slowly over to him "Do you approve?" I waited for his response, it felt like an eternity before his hand moved and he rubbed it against my cheek and the side of my muzzle causing me to let out a pleasured breath.

"Y...Your... stunning," He said finally "And your fur it's... so soft...." I felt my tail wag faster at this. Sadly I had to pull away from his hand a few moments later and shift back to put my clothes back on, even tho all I wanted to do was let him pet me all day long, maybe even get belly rubs.

"I would love nothing more than you stay here with you all day letting you pet my fur," I said slowly and walked back to him picking him up with ease "But right now my human, we need to get you to the doctor."

He wrapped his arm around my neck, as we walked out of the Pack house. Sadly we only got to the main hall before the crowd of people who stopped to look was both getting on my nerves, and starting to scare him.

"Alpha coming through!" I announced irritably "Back to your business!" There was a sudden panic as they all realised they were staring and rushed back to what they were doing allowing us to leave. We rode in the back of the car quietly. Anders drove, and I had told him to be gentle on the corners. Each time we his a large bump I could feel my mate flinch in pain and after a few I had him rest his leg on my lap to I could help protect it from the bumps.

"Alpha," Anders wolf spoke up from the front "I know it isn't my place but... you need to tell him the bit you missed, about him being your mate."

"I know," My wolf responded for me "But right now he isn't strong enough to cope with that shock as well."

"Alpha... you have to tell him!" Anders spoke from the drivers seat "You know that the council will want it solidified as soon as possible, or broken." Both my wolf and I growled softly.

"What dose he mean? What needs to be solidified or broken?" Ruban asked and I sighed.

"Weres are unique..." I started slowly "We have a predestined Mate, someone we will spend the rest of our lives with and have a family with. We get no choice over who it is, our wolf knows who they are by scent they can smell by instinct before we have even met."

"I don't see how that effects me." He started and I looked at him a little apologetic.

"Ruban... You are my mate," I muttered just loud enough for him to hear "And I am yours."

""B...b...but I'm human!" He protested.

"I know," I said softly and rubbed his leg gently "I won't force you to love me, and I won't force anything upon you... but know that I love you, and will do till the day I die." I looked to his face, he seemed to be mid panic and I sighed. I knew this would be hard for him... but never this hard. Thankfully we pulled into the carpark of the vet at this point. I climbed out of the car and walked around to his side and opened the door, I held my arms open as if for a hug. He seemed to hesitate for a second before he allowed me to lift him from the car. He hugged me close, sniffing deep like he was trying to stop himself from crying.

"Shhh, it's alright," I said softly holding him close "My arms will always be open to hold you and my wolf will always be here to curl up around you when your cold, and protect you when your in trouble." I walked into the vet with him and sat down on one of the chairs in the waiting room.

"Why are we in a vet?" He asked finally having calmed down and I chuckled.

"For Weres, Vets are our hospitals, we can come here if we are in animal form or human." I answered honestly.

"Alpha?" The receptionist called out "She will see you now." I nodded and lifted him again and walked in through to Shelly's office.

"About time you three got here!" She called out and smiled hugging Anders when he walked in.

"Well I'm sorry princess!" I replied earning a pen to the back of the head "I had more important things to deal with!" I placed Ruban down on the examination table.

"You can shift if you want," Shelly said to both Anders and myself "He may need his puppy for this it might hurt." I nodded and took off my shirt. Anders was already one step ahead and was nuzzling against his mate.

"Down boy!" She said with a chuckle and watched as I shifted quickly into my hybrid form "I've always liked your white fur, so unique, so pretty." She smiled and waved me towards the head of the table.

"Ok, X-rays first!" She declared in her doctor tone as she wheeled over a large machine "Try to hold still." He nodded his hand already gently scratching my chest making my tail wag with joy. There was a click and a thunk, and a moment later she pushed the machine away.

"Ok, lets see here," She sat on the edge of the table and pulled over a laptop, the image loading a second later.

"Wow!" Anders muttered looking at the screen "She did quite a job there!" I looked over to the screen to see. The damage was quite bad, her thrashing had managed to not only dislocate the joint quite badly, but had also broken the Tibia and Fibula about an inch up from the joint. They luckily didn't need repositioning to reset properly.

"Ok, well, this will take about six weeks to heal, I have the plaster ready over there." she pointed to a bucket in the corner and Anders retrieved it while she put on gloves.

"It will hurt a little at the start because I need to relocate the joint, try to remain still ok?" She said in her authoritative doctor tone and Ruban nodded. He hissed through clenched teeth and gripped my fur pulling a little painfully as she started.

"C..couldn't get another colour?" He asked seeing the bright pink colour of the plaster.

"Sorry hun, I'm still only registered as a vet, so I get what they send me" she said with a chuckle.

"And this is leftovers from setting a young girls arm earlier." I nuzzled and licked his cheek gently as he laid there, his hand moving to rub between my ears.

The trip home was spent with him resting his back against my side, my arm wrapped around his middle. She had given him a prescription for pain killers and wouldn't let us leave till he had his first dose, so at least he felt no pain. I helped him into the house where he asked me to shift and to stay that way while there with him.

I did as asked and then carried him up to the bedroom for him to rest, laying him down on the bed gently. I gave a soft yelp when suddenly I felt a hand on the back of my head pulling me into a kiss, his tongue pushing past my lips to rub against my own. It broke a few seconds later and I looked down to him smiling up at me.

"Maybe," He started slowly "I could give you a chance."

I smiled and my tail wagged quickly. "I'll go make us some dinner." I grinned and stood up "Then maybe we can get to know each other more."
