A few weeks later was the night of the full moon, we had spent the time getting to know each other. That first night he ate his food too quickly and I had to rush him to the bathroom to throw up. I spent the rest of the night comforting him and giving him water and small amounts of toast.

The next day I spoke with Shelly about what would be best to feed him. She had recommended halving the meal size and less rich foods. Right now he needed more nutrients focus and less focus on the flavour. It may be cruel to offer him the basics of milk, bread, water, vegetables and red meat without fancying it up but I knew its what I had to do, at least for the first month, even if my wolf was a little irritated at the blandness of the food.

It had hurt to hear him throw up on the odd occasion if he ate to much too fast but I was always there to help him. Rubbing his back, stroking his hair and offering him water and a face cloth to clean his face when he had finished. He would always start sobbing and crying, full of sorrow for one reason or another. I never pushed him to tell me what was wrong, he eventually would apologise for his crying or beg for forgiveness for his 'shameful behaviour' as he put it.

He was extremely timid and while it took a while to get him to open up about himself, he had taken to me like a fish to water. He would always want to hug close or be pressed up against my fur. He always insisted that I be in my hybrid form for some reason. I never objected, enjoying the feel of his hands running through my fur even when, occasionally, he found and pinched one of my nipples under my fur making me give a yelp of surprise. My wolf was getting restless though, wanting to mark and mate him. I kept him in check with the thought that eventually he would get what he wanted but till I explained what my wolf was, I wouldn't even let him talk to the timid human right now.

The explanation of what Weres could do and who we are went quite well actually. He seemed quite open to the idea of being my mate and the eventual possibility of him becoming a Were when we finally did mate. He was confused when I told him about our animals having a personality of their own, even a name.

“Their names are usual an anagram of our own names,” I explained calmly. All the people he had gotten comfortable with were there. Anders, Shelly, Jeb and Leon although Omega Neil, whom he had grown close to as well was busy with his own mate. We had decided to have a few drinks together that night and while Ruban couldn't drink alcohol, we fed him mocktails we all knew that were high in fruit juices for his vitamin boost. “plus or minus a letter or two.”

“So... what is your wolf called?” Ruban asked me and I couldn't help but smile at his question.

“Mine is Lacen,” I answered honestly and looked down at the scotch I held in my hand-paw “He really wants to come out right now but he doesn’t like booze.”

“What about you guys?” there was a soft chortle from them.

“My little lady is Yelas!” Shelly said with a smile and bent down to scratch at her wolf's chin who sadly, Ruban couldn't see “And she's a good girl, aren't you? Such a good girl!” she cooed to the wolf like it was a child who responded by wagging her tail and nodding. We all laughed at this but we knew she loved to tease her wolf like this.

“I have Endars and he's an Alcoholic,” Anders said with a joking slur and tossed back his beer “Being mated to her, what else could he be?” she gave his tail a painful yank making him yelp and all of us laugh. He was in his hybrid form, having fallen completely in love with being in it whenever possible.

“And you two?” He asked turning to look at Jeb and Leon.

“They are a bit unique.” I told him with a chuckle.

“Oh how so?” came the simple question, his curiosity now peaked.

“I am the only Were known of,” Jeb started “Who's animal has the same name as I do!”

“Well that makes remembering it easier.” Ruban chuckled and took a sip of his drink.

“And mine,” Leon started “His name is Barleby, we share an 'e' that's close enough.”

“And an 'L',” I reminded him and looked to the half empty bottle of tequila next to him. He was rarely in his hybrid, seeming to have some distaste in being anything but human for some reason that confused me slightly “Think you've had enough for tonight?”

“I'm still concious...” he growled in response “Besides I can still see the two of him laughing at me over there!” he pointed to the corner where his lion was snickering at him and his drunken state.

“Two?” Ruban asked and I chuckled.

“He's sloshed love” I said with a smile and had a sip of my own drink.

The next day he opened up and told me all about why he had been cutting himself. About his parents, why they had abused him, why he had run away. I couldn't help but growl when he told me of his past pain. Both myself and my wolf on edge as he explained everything, even how he scavenged for money to buy new blades. He had cried through most of his story, clinging close to me as he spoke. When finally he got to the accidental attack, he said that he had intended well and if he had died, he at least was happy he had died trying to do a good thing.

Some nights I would be woken by him crying loudly and huddled in a corner, or a loud scream from a nightmare that had tormented him. He never told me at first what they involved, or what caused them but when he finally opened up one night I was saddened that his past was coming back to haunt him still.

I spent every moment possible with him. Bringing him into the office to lay on the couch as I went through pack business and even occasionally he would pitch in with advice or just a view on the current complication that Anders and myself hadn't thought of. He seemed to get more and more fidgety as the weeks went by. He would rub at his arms, most notably his wrists as he watched us talk and work.

I had kept all sharp and pointy objects away from him and I was guessing he had developed self harm as a mean of stress relief. Sadly I hadn't spotted him grabbing a pair of scissors from my office desk when I carried him past it to the bathroom. Even Anders had not noticed the missing implement. I had placed him on the toilet and returned to the office, giving him privacy to use the loo in peace.

Another Were had come in asking to borrow them and when we noticed them missing I bolted from the room. I could hear sobbing from the bathroom, and the door was locked. I hadn't locked it when I left him. The sobbing continued even when I knocked and after a few minutes I busted the door open before I realised I was so desperate to get to him. He looked at me, tears streaming down his face and the scissors poised in his hand.

“Why?” he sobbed “You don't deserve me... someone as defective as me... but why? WHY can't I do it!?” he dropped them and his hands covered his face as he wept loudly.

“Ruban...” I hugged against him letting him cry into my fur.

“You... you are the only ray of sunshine my life has ever had!” he sobbed “A god damn furry white knight!” I smiled and nuzzled his head gently.

“And I always will be,” I told him softly “We will never leave you and hope that you will never leave us. To me and my wolf, you will never be broken, never flawed, never defective. You are our mate, our one and only and even if you have some problems now, to us... to me... you are perfect.” I continued to hold him, letting him cry and collect himself once again. Anders stood outside the door, holding it closed and keeping every prying eye away.

“I will always be your knight in shining white armour,” I said and kissed him gently once he had finished crying “You furry knight and Anders will always be your black fuzzy guard dog!” I smiled hearing a grumble from the other side of the door and lifted him. Carrying him back to the office with Anders following close behind after he had picked up the scissors.

That night when I put him in the bath, he almost begged me to join him. I couldn't say no and slipped out of my clothes and into the tub with him. I was still in my hybrid form and I knew that unless I changed to my human form afterwards, it would take a long time to dry my fur. I let him explore me, his hands rubbing over my chest and belly then finally down to my sheath. It took everything I had to not get hard and to hold my wolf at bay. After a few minutes of groping and exploring he rested back against me and relaxed again apologising for his earlier breakdown.

Since that night, we have spent every bath together and he moved into my bed with me. How could I resist after he told me he would feel so much better with me snuggling him close and tight all night, chasing off the nightmares and bad memories.

Yesterday we went to see Shelly for X-rays on his leg to see how it was going and for some help with the deep, burning and dangerous depression he was suffering. His leg was progressing well but he still had to stay in the cast till it was finished healing. After hearing about his latest attempt at self harm, his occasional breakdown and his lack of sleep, something I hadn't known about till he told her. She prescribed him Mirtazapine, telling him it would help with his sleeping problems and the the drive to self harm.

I handed him off to Anders telling them to wait in the waiting room as I had to ask her a few personal questions.

“So, what can I help you with Mister all mighty Alpha?” she asked with a smile.

“Tomorrow.” I said slowly.

“What about it?” she responded like a smart ass.

“Tomorrow is the full moon,” I growled out slowly “You know what Lacen wants but Ruban isn't ready!”

“How do you mean not ready?” she retorted a little shockingly “he seems ready, he has opened up to you and gotten quite attached.”

“If we mate, and I cause him to shift with his leg in a cast and still broken it could cause permanent damage!” I snapped irritably “Is there anything that might help with holding him in check? Stopping Lacen from taking full control?” she sighed and opened a draw in her desk and threw what looked like a packet of chewing gum into my hands.

“Try this, It's wolves-bane chews.” she said and I felt my wolf growl angrily inside of me. Wolves-bane chews were commonly used for cubs who had just gotten the ability to shift. Usually at that point they cannot control it and could shift at any time even from a sneeze. The chews kept the animals at bay for a while, helping the Were learn some self-control.

“Even with these, it will be hard,” she piped up “They are made for cubs, not adults. This will bolster your control over him but it will still take a lot to keep him in check. I recommend you have a sit down chat with your wolf, let him know no biting and no mounting.” I sighed and nodded pocketing them.

“Thanks Shelly, I'll do that first thing when I get home.” I said and she nodded.

“And remember, no more than six in a twenty four hour period, it's still a poisonous substance and will be lethal if you consume too much.” I nodded as I walked out.

When we arrived home Ruban gave a frightened gasp when he saw Luce standing two foot inside the front door in his usual stance, looking in our direction. Luce was a Sigma rank, a very special rank in the pack. The rank was reserved for the children of angels or demons who had mated to Weres. They are usually housekeepers, for some reason they were all drawn to this roll and performed their duties with the aid of magic.

Luce was always dressed in a black suit and tie with black gloves. He was the son of an Angel and a Snow leopard, so his reason for black was anyone’s guess. He stood around six foot tall, and was thin and lanky. While he seemed to seldom move, he did so quite often but usually he was seen standing at the foot of the main staircase under the chandelier his arms crossed behind his back. His head was often lowered a little and his shoulders raised while he had a massive, Cheshire cat grin on his face. He used his magic to make his teeth glow at night and I have had heart attacks when the power goes out and just see his teeth, floating down a hallway. I gave him a soft growl in warning, having told him multiple times to stop finding joy in being creepy.

“Sorry Sir,” he said “I was polishing the handles, didn't mean to frighten you.”

“That I understand, but stop with the body pose!” I said pulling Ruban close “You'd make the most cheerful puppies cry like that!” he give a chuckle and nodded.

“Sorry sir.” he reported back and I rubbed my face gently.

“You still going to guard the cubs tonight during the hunt?” I asked sitting Ruban into a chair near the door.

“Of course, I look forward to it,” he said and grabbed at a polishing rag that flew past “I just hope I will not be needed.” I gave a sigh and nodded. Sigmas are powerful, almost ridiculously so. They always stayed behind during the full-moon hunts and protected the young. Usually soft, gentle and wouldn't harm the fur on your ears, if threatened, with a wave of their hand they could send you flying like you were a helium filled football that had just been kicked by a major league player.

“We will be taking all of the cubs again this month.” I said and picked up Ruban once he had calmed down.

“What? Again?” he grumbled and I rolled my eyes. There was only a few people I would let get away with back talking, he sadly was one of them “I guess its because I'm so awesome!” There he goes again, stroking his ego, we wont be able to get him to shut up for hours now. I carried Ruban up to the office, sitting him in my chair only to smile at his confused look.

“I have something I need to do privately,” I told him and motioned to Anders and Leon “They will keep you company, and explain to you about the Hunt tonight.” he nodded and I gave his forehead a gentle kiss before walking to the door.

“And remember, no sharp objects!” I called back at him playfully and was rewarded with a pen to the back of the head.

I made my way quietly to the master bedroom and closed and locked the door. Sitting on the bed, I waved for my wolf to come closer and sit on the bed with me. He was reluctant, but eventually joined me, sitting on my lap.

“Lacen, you know why we need to have this conversation.” I started slowly petting his head.

“Yes, I do and at the same time I don't!” he retorted irritably.

“Lacen, he isn't ready for the shift yet!” I told him “You know it as well as I that its dangerous, especially when injured. I wont stop you from going on the hunt and I know the chew wont stop you completely but please, lets do this on his terms, ok?” he grumbled irritably but finally conceded. I gave a sigh and hugged him then pulled out a chew. Just as I stated to chew on it I heard scuffling from the attic and then a slow rhythmic thumping. Both Lacen and I looked at each other then started chuckling. The attic was Neil, the Omegas, bedroom, obviously they had decided to indulge in each other finally. Was about time, they had both been sulking for the last week.

“we should go downstairs and get ready for the hunt.” I said to Lacen still chuckling “And not sit here eves dropping.” he nodded and got off the bed as I did, following me to the door just as the moans started radiating down from above.

“Remind me to get sound proofing for that rooms floor.” I muttered as I walked in to the office. I smiled seeing Anders in wolf form on the floor laying on his back while Ruban gave him rubs and scratches to his chest. The black mass of fur was easily twice the size of the human and he was acting like a puppy with his tongue lulled out to one side of his wide grinning muzzle.

“Two Hours till the hunt.” I announced sternly and watched the black wolf jump up “Go tell the pack... Oh and tell Neil last.” I grinned and he nodded running out of the room.

“So I'm going to be left behind?” My human asked sounding disappoint.

“Not a chance in hell!” I said with a grin “You will ride on Anders till we find our prey, then you will be guarded by the Omega and his mate.”

“Omega?” he asked a little confused “What ARE all the ranks?” I blinked then had a face palm moment. I never did tell him all of that did I?

“In our packs, there are multiple ranks,” I started and watched as my wolf curled up around him “Top of the chain is the Alpha and Luna. The Alpha is the leader, and the Luna is the Alphas mate, that's you. Next is the Beta, the Beta is second in command, and holds the same authority that I do but still answers to me. They are usually the strongest in the pack bar the Alpha. Authority wise next comes the Theta, they are the previous Alphas, my parents, sadly in this pack we do not have them as they are both deceased. Next is the Gamma, Gamma is a broad rank, any wolf who can fight is a Gamma and most females even hold this rank. Then we have the Sigma, Sigma rank is a special one, there is only four Sigma ranks within our whole community. You met one earlier, Luce, they are special hybrids, usually the children of a were and an angel or demon, I'll explain them later. Lastly is the Omega, they are they weakest in the pack and more often than not, are runts from a litter of pups. Neil will be guarding you with his mate, another human. Neil is a fox shifter, he was abandoned on out doorstep when he was only a cub and sadly we never did find his parents.”

“I see...” he nodded, seeming a little confused by all the information he now had to absorb. I sighed and picked him up off the floor and carried him to his bedroom to get some warmer clothes for him to wear.

“If he is the weakest though... how can he protect me?” he asked me as if I had never thought of that and chuckled softly.

“He can keep wild animals away, he isn't that weak,” I said and laid a long jacket down on his lap and them mooched for some pants for him to wear “He may be weak but he is faster than any other wolf in our pack. If he and his mate cannot combat the threat, they are under orders to bring you back here. The Sigma is our fall back in case of emergency, so here is where you will be brought.” I placed a pair of track pants on the bed next to him and then smiled lewdly.

“Think you can change yourself?” I asked “Or would you like a hand?” he blinked looking up at my face and it was like he could see the dirty thoughts going through my mind. He smiled widely in response and gave a chuckle.

“I think I can manage,” he said and I gave a mock pout and headed out of the room before he added “This time.” I grinned and waited just outside the door for a few minutes waiting for him to finish getting changed.

As I trudged down the stairs to the front lawn. Luce was standing in his usual place and position, this time watching me descend the stairs with my mate in my arms. I was surprised tho to see his snow-leopard, Culem, sitting between his feet, his long fluffy tail wrapped around Luces legs. He rarely came out of their room and I was curious as to why but knew I wouldn’t get an answer.

“Don't forget Luce,” I said stopping next to him “You guard our most valuable treasures, YOU are our final line of defence.”

“Callum” came the response and I smiled, if he was using my name he was being serious, even if he still had that smile on his face “I would die a thousand times by flensing, before I would abandon my post. You have my word as Sigma, that I die to protect this treasure I have been trusted with.” I shuddered slightly, of course he would bring that up. I had seen my father use that technique once before. Flensing, to be skinned alive then slowly have your body dehydrate due to evaporation from your internal organs. Weres bodies would try to regenerate and cause more vital nutrient to be lost... it was a horrible way to go.

“You know the rules, they need to stay in the basement safe level.” I added and he nodded. The pack house was built on top of two levels of basements. The top level was the holding cells and the punishment/torture room. The bottom level was our 'vault' level. Magically sealed on all sides by spells put in place long ago, it was where we kept the cubs of the pack during times of war, or once a month on the hunt when the pack security would be at its weakest. During war it also acted as the hospital for the seriously injured.

It consisted of about twenty to thirty rooms of varying size and shape. It had its own food store and power supply. Every time it was sealed, two mated couples were selected to stay inside with the cubs. They rarely had to do anything though, Luce had a habit of enchanting a large collection of plush toys to play hide and seek with the cubs.

“I will also contact you before going berserk, Callen, I would need you to stop me before I went too far.” I nodded and pat him on the shoulder before walking outside to join the pack. Berserk was a Sigmas full strength, if the threat was so great that they couldnt manage normally, they will literally use their soul for energy. This wasn't just stepping into the realm of angel and demon power, this was the equivalent of dancing in it!

However, it comes at a massive cost like all things do. It eats away at their bodies and lives, eroding them dramatically. It also had the side effect of impairing them mentally. Sometimes they will no longer be able to tell friend from foe, right from wrong, innocent from dangerous. Their fall back was a bond they shared with the Alphas of their pack, a bond that would seal their power back away.

I heard the doors click shut behind me and smiled to see my wolf-pack, plus a fox and a fox hybrid, in front of me. All eyes were on me, and most were sitting waiting for me to begin the hunt.

“Before I shift, Endars and Yelas, come forth please!” I watched as my beta and his mate came forward and I smile down at them “I am requesting you carry my mate Endars, at least until we find the prey. Yelas, I know you may be upset that you cannot run fully free with your mate but I wouldn’t put him in the care of anyone else.” I watched as she nodded and smiled placing Ruban on the black wolves back.

“Hold tight but don't fear, he wont drop you.” I told him softly and gave him a kiss “Last thing, Lien and his mate, Xander, Front and centre please” I watched as they approached, the looks the poor fox was getting was driving me bonkers. I had ordered no more abuse to the poor Omega but most seemed willing to ignore my direct orders.

“I...I am sorry to Correct you Alpha,” the hybrid fox spoke up drawing my attention, he was so timid, fearing that I might lash out at him, his tail was curled up between his legs and his ears back “But we have not met yet... I am Xanders Fox, Randy.” I gave a hearty chuckle and gave him a pat on the head.

“Fear not, neither of you are in trouble, how would I have known if you never told me?” I smile seeing his tail pick up a wag “When we find the kill, you two will guard Ruban, ok? You are NOT to engage if we are attacked by rogues. You two are the fastest members of our pack, you are to bring him back here, understand?”

“Yes Alpha.” Randy responded, both of them nodding.

“As for the rest of you,” I said looking out to the gathered pack “Don't think I didn't see, tomorrow, I want you, and you know who you are, to come see me in my office... DON'T make me hunt you down, you wont like the ramifications.” I gave a soft menacing growl before I then shucked my clothes and shifted, letting Lacen take over.

It was so freeing to run with the pack, taking a back seat in my own mind as we ran through the Forrest. It was odd how each pack acted so differently. The felines went to the lakes and streams to fish, the bears would hunt for fruits and berries, the canines all hunted for prey that wasn't a Were and most of the herbivore races all congregated together to mow the lawns... literally. The goats would even trim the hedges, although they did occasionally get distracted and start eating the rose bushes. The elephants then usually gave them a smack with their trunk to get them away from the flower gardens.

It was nearly twenty minutes before we picked up the scent of a family of deer. We quickly head in its direction and when it comes into view Ruban is placed safely by a large tree. The two foxes quickly run to be next to him. Lien stayed in full feral form while Randy stood diligently next to him. I smirked when Lien curled up on Ruban's lap as he was softly pet while watching the pack assault its target.

It wasn't until we had the second deer from the group of six was felled that I smelt it. Rogues. How could I have missed that smell!? I looked up in time to dodge an attack by a large male rogue. I turned to look in Rubans direction and barked out a single order to them, one that sadly only Lien and Randy could understand as it was literally a bark.

“RUN!” Lien was shifted and gone like lightning, carrying Ruban with him, his mate close behind and a few rogues in hot pursuit.

“Good.” I thought “At least he is safe, now, to kill this scum who ruined our night!”

My mind was never off of Ruban the whole fight, was he safe? Did they make it home? Were they intercepted? The thoughts fuelled my rage towards the rogues. Tonight of all nights, the one night I didn't want them to stray into our territory! I twisted my head violently with the throat of the last rogue in my jaws, breaking his neck and also tearing his throat wide open.

“Any Wounded!?” I called out after shifting to my hybrid form.

“Only a broken leg and a lot of cuts and bites.” Yelas called back having checked everyone quickly.

“Good, Yelas, Endars, Jeb, Ares, Your with me!, the rest of you gather the catch, we will have the full moon feast tomorrow as planned!” there was a chorus of barks and yips and I shifted back into full wolf before running towards the house.

We ran as fast as we could. I had to get there, to see him, to make sure he was ok, they were the only thoughts that drove me.

“ALPHA STOP!!” Endars called and I skidded to a halt and looked back. He was in hybrid form and looking confused “Do you smell that? Blood... and listen!” I listened hard, soon hearing soft whimpering and wheezing then ran in its direction. When we got closer I changed to hybrid form, I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

“Oh god... it's... Lien!” I said rushing over and rolled him onto his back gently “Lien! What happened!? Speak to me!”

“A...Alpha...” he gasped.

“Alpha... This can't be Lien... it doesn’t have the umm...right plumbing...” Ares said incredulously.

“You've never seen Lien have you?” Yelas said with mild amusement “The only Were known, who is the opposite gender of their animal.”

“That's why he is bullied so much,” Endars said softly and motioned his wife over to help “It, like his mate, is something beyond his control. If the pack put the same effort into training as they did insulting and harassing him, this never would have happened!”

“Lien, what happened?” I asked and he wheezed looking up at me. He was a mess, or should I say, She was a mess. Bite and scratch marks covered her, all of them oozing blood matting down her usually soft fluffy fur. A scratch was dangerously close to her right eye and she had it closed to keep the blood out. She was missing part of her left ear, her left arm was badly broken, and from the feel of it, a few of her ribs were broken as well. She was damn lucky to still be alive.

“I...I'm sorry Alpha... I Disobeyed your orders.” she gasped out “I...I gave Ruban to R...Randy and tried to... to fight them off... to delay th...them even for a few minutes!”

“Shh, try to breath deeply,” Yelas said checking her over “Keep your lungs inflated with air!” Lien nodded and then looked up at me.

“I...I'm sorry we...we disobeyed you A...Alpha,” she started to tear up, her eyes going damp with tears of worry “P...please don't p...punish Randy, it w...was my idea.”

“Hush, no one is going to be punished,” I tried to abate her fears and my tail wagged a little when I saw her physically relax a bit “You did Exactly what I would expect any member of my pack to do, you sacrificed yourself to save others, I'm proud of you!” I truly was. This was the ultimate sacrifice, yourself for others, even if you barely knew them, what more could I EVER ask for in a pack member?

“Th...Thank you Alpha,” she responded. If she had the energy, I swear she would have blushed at this point and wagged her tail.

“Is it safe to move her?” I asked Yelas who nodded and licked her nose subconsciously. I had noticed that she did it more and more when she was deeply worried.

“Safer than leaving her here,” she responded and motioned Endars over “You carry her but gently, one wrong move and one of her ribs could puncture a lung.” he nodded and lifted her slowly.

“Alpha... what's that?”Ares asked pointing to something in the sky. I turned to look a little confused.

“Possibly a bir... GET DOWN!” I realised almost too late that they were in fact, three wolves, that flew just barely over our ears even after we flopped to the ground and collided with the trees behind us, expiring instantly with a sickening crack. “That was close... I am going to neuter that Sigma with the dull side of a spoon...”

“H...he would p...Probably like that.” Lien said softly while on Enders chest

Our trip from then on was... to say the least entertaining. To say the most it was Mortifying! Every few moments, more rogues would fly over our heads and disappear into the Forrest behind us. It was shocking the shear amount of them that vanished into the tree line with a distant 'thump'.

When finally we got to the pack house, Luce, or Culem, was standing in front of the house in his full Hybrid glory. A six foot tall snow leopard, with a long thick tail wagging slowly behind him. He still had his grin but now it seemed more... horrifying due to all his sharp feline teeth. From his back could be seen four large feather wings, the bottom set a little smaller than the top set. Only his teeth and eyes glowed from his face and while he still had his smile, he did not look pleased.

“Ah Alpha you have returned, I have kept the house safe just as you instructed me to, and will continue so till the night is over,” he said seeing us approach “Luna and Randy await you inside, they are in the lounge. I have placed blankets over the furniture and gotten the medical supplies ready, Randy is preparing warm water and wash cloths.”

“Thank you Culem.” I said waving the others inside.

“I do hope Omega Lien can be helped.” he said, his voice portraying genuine concern. He like myself had been one of the only people who never referred to him as 'Runt' and had seemed to have attached quite a bond to the troubled youth.

“Yelas and Ares are with him, not to mention his mate, he will be fine,” I smiled and pat his shoulder “The others should return soon, please see to it that a team of no less than Five goes to the other hot spots to inform them of what has happened. I want maximum security, as soon as possible, full patrols.”

“Consider it done,” he said with a slight bow then gave a click with his tongue and sigh “Look at the state of the lawn, it will take forever to grow this all back!” I rolled my eyes and wandered inside to catch up to the others, pulling on a pair of pants that hovered in the air for me as I walked past.

In the lounge I saw a sight I didn't want to see. Ruban was trying to comfort Randy, while Lien laid on the towel covered couch being stitched back together by Shelly's skilful hands. I moved to help condole the grieving hybrid.

“Alpha!” Yelas finally piped up “I don't want to tell you this...” she looked up at me and I looked back at her a little irritably.

“And I don't think I want to hear it.” I retorted and she took my hand pressing it to the Omegas hip, something didn't feel right.

“Feel that?” she said softly “The slight deviation from norm, a break, and a damn recent one.” I grimaced.

“Could it be...” I started wanting to come up with an excuse and she cut me off by moving my hand again, this time to an unbroken rib, then to his left shoulder, each time saying 'Here, and here, and here, and here'.

“Callen, this is not a training accident, and its DEFINATLY been done since you took over as Alpha!” she said firmly “And some of these are life threatening! I found Stab scars on his back! He NEVER came to me for any of these! This has gone beyond bullying! This is torture!” I swallowed dryly feeling sick. How? How was this going on under my nose? It cant have been while at school, I was down as his legal guardian, they would have told me!

“Did you know?” I asked turning to Randy and he simply shook his head.

“He had come home with bruises,” he answered with soft sobs “He always said he had tripped down the stairs or run into a door... I...I never saw...” I put my hand up to still him, knowing that continuing would lead to more tears and me getting more angry. Ruban pulled the large fox close into a hug letting him cry in his chest while he scratched between the hybrids shoulder blades.

“Callen, I can't over look this, there is no way!” Shelly growled “This must stop! If you need to torture a few pack members, then so god damn be it!” I gave a deep sigh and nodded.

“Culem! Get in here now!” I called out, the male walking in a moment later still in his hybrid form.

“Yes Callen? Is everything ok with Neil and Lien?” he asked and I rubbed the bridge of my muzzle.

“Shut the doors, sound proof the room,” I instructed and he nodded clicking his fingers, the doors slamming shut and locking.

“Done, now what is wrong?” he asked.

“I'm lifting restriction D-17 for a special project,” I said looking up at him “I know this is a breach of privacy, but it needs to be done. Scan Neils memories, you know what to look for, I want a list of everyone responsible!”

“When do you want it by?” he clarified.

“Before the feast,” I retorted “You have twenty hours to get my dirt, then the restriction is active again.” he nodded and his eyes seemed to flash slightly.

“You shall have it, it will take two hours as long as he does not resist.” his smile returned and then walked out, returning to his guard duty.

“God I hope this wont make me like my father.” I mumbled to myself turning my attention back to Lien. The pack arrived about an hour later. As they walked in I personally carried Neil to his bedroom, having Randy take Ruban to ours. I placed him down gently on the bed, out cold resting.

“Sleep Neil,” I said gently stroking his head “We'll fix this, I swear it.” I continue for a moment, my ear twitching and I smile. Randy had just walked into the attic, he would be angry I was being so close to his mate but I was the Alpha, he knew I meant no harm.

“He is sleeping comfortably,” I said and stood up “Your lucky you have him, he will be a perfect mate.”

“Thank you, Alpha.” he responded and I chuckled. I got up and went to head downstairs giving randy a tight hug before I passed.

“Its Callen, You two have EARNED the right to not call me Alpha.” I said into his ear and walked on past, closing the door behind me.

“He is resting comfortably.” I said walking into my mates room. The human looked a little shocked to see me walk in. I had decided that he should sleep in my old bedroom for tonight, just so I wouldn't jump him. I smile and walk slowly over to his bed, Lacen starting to take over as I leaned over the bed and kissed him deeply and slipped under the covers with him. It didn't take long for him to be rubbing my fuzzy chest or me to be rubbing his own chest, each of us finding and teasing nipples with our fingers before our hands wandered lower, the kiss never abating.

It didn't take long till we had our pants off and were stroking each other. I let his curiosity take over and lay back on the bed and he threw the covers off to get a look at my ample sheath and balls, and lengthy eight inch cock, at least one and a half of which was knot. He was so fascinated by it, his hand wandering gently over the surface and chuckling occasionally at my moaned and whimpered reactions. It didn't take much coaxing to have his lips over the throbbing rod and sucking making me whine out in pleasure.

I grabbed his hips and shifted him to lay on my belly and chest, his mouth still on my cock, I now had easy reach to his own. I nuzzled and sniffed at the stiff dripping shaft, it was probably just over six inches long and to me, smelt better than the best perfume or candy bar in the world. my large tongue coming out to lick one of his hefty orbs before I pulled them into my maw and sucked on them for a bit. My damp nose pressed against his taint, and every breath pulled his delicious scent into my lungs and turned me on even more.

He gave a moan and his hand cupped my own balls and kneaded them gently. I felt myself twitch in his mouth releasing pre onto his tongue. I moved to lick at his shaft, feeling how his foreskin rolled over his head and he again moaned. Letting it into my mouth, I was careful with my teeth as I started sucking. I huffed and thrust up into his mouth a little causing him to gag slightly but he never pulled away from me.

I nibbled gently and tugged on his foreskin with my lips before pressing my tongue under it to rub at the sensitive organ. He gave a deep groan of pleasure which coaxed me to roll the skin back with my lips and then take his full length in again. The reaction I got was what I was expecting. He nearly flailed, and with a loud cry he sucked harder on my cock.

His hand moved from my balls to my knot and he gave it an experimenting squeeze. I gave a loud cry of my own and pressed up harder into his mouth. We were both close, we both knew this and were almost dizzy with anticipation.

He gave my knot one more extremely tight, firm squeeze and that was enough. With a loud moan and near howl, my cock exploded into his mouth. At the same time, I sucked hard and ran my tongue over the overly sensitive flesh of his cock head getting the same reaction. His seed splashed over my tongue and I couldn’t help but want more.

To me, it was better than the finest wine and I greedily wanted more and more of it. giving a disappoint whimper when he was finished and left panting, I licked at his now empty balls while panting myself.

“Th...that was...” he panted out, basking in the afterglow.

“Perfect.” I finished for him and quickly turned him round to be nose to nose. We kissed as soon as our lips were in range of each other and I murred loudly as I nibbled his bottom lip. After a few minutes we stopped and I wrapped my arms around him and held him tightly and possessively. I licked at his neck, and before I knew what I was doing, Lacen had taken over and we were sucking at the spot our future mark would be.

He writhed and squirmed against me, moaning out gently as I sucked firmly. He made no effort to push me away or stop me and when Lacen was done, we licked at the sensitive hicky.

“I may not be allowed to mark you yet,” Lacen said through me “Callen would be angry if I did, but for now, this will be your mark, till next full moon.” Ruban nodded and hugged close in against my chest.

“please...” he whispered almost as a whimper.

“Hmm?”

“Sleep with me tonight,” he finally said pressing his face into the fur on my chest “And be here when I wake up.”

“Anything for you,” I said licking his hair “My mate.”
