The pack was once again a noisy rabble when Fenir returned from his bath. He had taken him longer than normal to clear his head and try and work out the finer details. When he had first decided on the punishment for the sub all he had thought of was his own lust for both the sub and retribution, but now there were far more considerations to be decided on. Someone had to look after the sub, make sure he didn't endanger the pup, especially at the full moon, and then there was after the pup arrived, what would happen then? This would take a lot more help form the rest of the pack than he has first thought, not that he had really thought it through. Two pups rushed past him, yelling at each other. He watched them play for a moment Pelim was yelling at Heps about some rock or other she had stolen from him. Heps was a tall girl of around two and she towered over the younger Pelim, holding the rock just out of his reach. The two children took off running again. It was strange to think that it was only a few years ago the pack was almost at the point of extinction and now here they were, a thriving pack with four new pups in just two years, and Lemmy's would make five. And his own! His pup would make six. Six pups in nearly three years! If they kept this up they would have to start expanding their hunting grounds.
He was going to have a pup of his own! As much as he tried to be a big strong Alpha, he couldn't stop the elation he felt at the thought of having his own child. He had never found a sub before that had stirred in him the feelings he felt now, never felt that need to mate that he saw in the couples around him, but he had always longed for a family, his won part of the bigger pack. He had tried before with turning abandoned children, creating on his own what others took on a mate for, but after Remus had been taken and his pack had been picked off one by one he had decided that it was not worth the heartbreak. Now he would have it, his own pup, who would grow with the pack and his friends. If Fenir had been anything but a large, burley, Alpha that he was, he would have skipped into the village centre but deciding that was rather undignified he strode in with his head held high, although the entire pack watched the slight skip in his step.
The village centre was alive with chatter and activity. All the sub's were around the table, which was overflowing with deer, hares and squirrels. The dom's had obviously finished their hunting for the day and were currently sprawled around in a rough circle. French had retrieved his bow string harp and was plucking out a light tune Rich watching his fingers avidly. Rich was only a couple of month's old and had a tendency of tottering around after his elder sister and making everyone worry. The rest of the dom's were relaxing and talking, whilst Luc was sitting with them, attempting to look more mature than his age. They nodded to Fenir as he entered the circle and joined their haphazard congregation and waited for the sub's to finish their work to call them all together.
The sun was setting as the day's work was finished. The evening meal was slowly cooking by the fire and Fenir had called them all into the circle. Maya was sitting, smugly, off to one side with Pelim sitting by his side. Fenir stood up, deciding that a formal announcement was easier than a more relaxed one.
"I have drawn you all into circle early tonight to announce that I have successfully impregnated the sub." Fenir sat down. His speech had been as dispassionate as he could make it, at the moment he couldn't express the torn feeling he had inside, wanting to celebrate his mate and his child whilst at the same time wanting to punish the sub for putting him in this position. He knew the pack as a whole were torn as well. Fenir looked around the circle for the reactions. Mostly there was shock, the dom's trying to hide behind a look of indifference, Han particularly was trying to keep his emotions under wraps. Since he had fought Fenir for the right to mate he had become increasingly angry. The sub's were clearly divided, Namile looked very pleased, petting Luc's head, whereas Lemmy and Elouise looked downcast, he could hear Lemmy sniffing back little tears. Maya coughed slightly, clearing his throat. Fenir looked over at him as he fixed the Alpha in a stare before very deliberately coughing again. "Oh, yes!" Fenir exclaimed as he shook himself out of his woolgathering. He heard Maya mumble something about dominates before he coughed himself to cover up the no doubt derogatory comment before he continued.
"I know this has happened very quickly but it is testament to the strength of the sub and that we were right to act as we have. There are, however, some considerations which I hadn't really thought about and I am sorry that I will need to ask for your help in order to properly care for the child both before and after it is born." Namile stood up proudly, her mouth shaped into a large grin.
"Alpha, I speak for all of my sub's when I say that any help you require..." She was cut off by her mate pulling her back down to her seat.
"Sit down! It is not your place to promise anyone's assistance!" He looked over at Lemmy with an apology written on his face. Namile had a good heart, Fenir had known her for many years, but her position as head sub had a tendency to go to her head.
"Firstly, the sub will need more care than we currently are, apparently I have been neglecting my duties slightly." Maya gave him a very large glare. "We will need to put in a window of some kind, probably in the roof, and a few pieces of furniture. I should be able to do most of it myself but I may not be able to hunt with you for a few hours, whilst I make the necessary modifications."
"Didn't make any difference today, did it?" Han muttered under is breath. Fenir caught him in a stare.
"Was there something you wanted to say?" Han shook his head and then lowered his head in defeat.
"Melim," the quiet submissive acknowledged her name "as you have already been feeding him I would ask that you could also take him out each day to bathe and make sure he eats enough, I don't want him hurting the child." Melim nodded and smiled. She was happy to be of more use to her pack. "That brings me to the last favor I have to ask. Lemmy," Lemmy looked up, he had been leaning on Matty, his eyes closed. "the child will need a milk nurse until it is weaned. I realize that it is a lot to ask but as there is no other sub who is currently feeding or pregnant there is no one else who could do this for me." Lemmy was silent for a moment and hung his head for a second.
"I will do it" Fenir smiled at him but stopped suddenly as Lemmy pierced him with a penetrating glare. "I am not doing this for you! If you were going to do this to me" he placed his hand on his swollen stomach "I would want to know that my pup was being looked after!" Lemmy got up and ran off back to his hut. Matty staring at the ground, unsure whether to follow his sobbing mate or wait to hear more from the Alpha.
Fenir was a little shocked, he hadn’t realized that Lemmy’s dislike of the situation had gone so far, perhaps it was just his hormones. One thing was sure, Maya as going to kill him. "It is fine, Matty, go after him. He hasn't eaten yet." Matty looked up and nodded before hurrying to their hut. "I am sorry that I didn't consider these things before, I had hoped there would be slightly more time before a pup would be an issue, but I am happy to be able to welcome my own pup to our pack. I thank you all for your help." The pack nodded.
Maya stood up. "Tonight is a night for celebration! A new pack member and a bumper hunt! And dinner is ready, let's get eating!" he said, his voice filled with laughter. The pups got up and started to play around his feet, dancing to some internal song, Luc was still sitting by his mother, trying to not look like he wanted to join in. The rest of the pack got up quickly to congratulate the Alpha in his upcoming arrival and French once again took up his harp and began plucking out a jaunty little tune for the children to dance to. Fenir nodded lightly to Maya, whose face was blank, almost scowling, when the rest of the pack wasn't watching. He collected a plate of meat and serendipitously moved out of the circle towards Lemmy's hut. The stress wasn't good for the baby and he hadn't eaten. Fenir ate the meat he had had pushed into his hands guiltily whilst the pack around him celebrated.
The first full moon was difficult for the entire pack. Fenir had hoped that the sub would not be with child by the time it rolled around but unfortunately that was not to be. It was another complication to an already strained situation. Lemmy had not spoken a word to him all month and no cajoling from Namile or begging from Matty could make him give up. He would eat his meal quickly before disappearing to his hut before even Matty could stop him. The other sub's were clearly split, except Namile who always stood proudly behind any of his decisions, between pity for Lemmy and the sub and there own need for justice. The division was causing lots of problems. Namile was attempting to keep the peace but ended up, due to her lack of social graces, causing more strife than she was helping. There had been several scuffles over the month and even one full on fight between Maya and Namile, when Namile had struck Lemmy round the head for a small infraction. Namile had come off slightly the worse before it was broken up by Bej. There was still a tension that hung around just waiting for one of them to snap and Fenir had a nasty suspicion that the full moon would bring with it enough energy to break any control the subs had.
The moon rose slowly over the horizon as the sun breathed it's las of the day. The anticipation hung so clearly in the air that you cut it with a knife. The transformation started, bones elongating, muscles changing and strengthening, each of the pack drawing on the strength of the others making the painless transition into their other selves. It was then that they heard it, the screams of pain from the hut on the far side of the village. There was no strength, no family for the sub to draw upon to keep the agony at bay. This was why lone wolves went mad with bloodlust, why the stolen cubs turned to the poison of Wolfsbain in order to keep their sanity. The pain was so intense it was not only your body which hurt, it went beyond that to scorch your soul. This was what he had doomed the sub to when he had proclaimed that he would never be a member of the pack. Lemmy and Maya recovered from their transformation quickly and raced towards the hut. The screaming had turned into howls and whimpers as the change took hold and the wolf emerged. The two subs did not make it to the door as their path was blocked by three wolves. Claw, Ram and Namile booked their way, going down on their haunches, ready to pounce. Matty positioned himself in front of his mate, trying to get him to back down, whilst Maya went down to her haunches in front of Namile. This fight had been waiting for weeks to be settled and as much as Fenir wanted to interfere he could not, Maya was the healer and it was his duty to protect his charges and Lemmy was in his charge until he gave birth. The two leapt at each other, each of them going for the neck. Matty pushed his mate away from the fight, trying to keep him safe, whilst the other two doms made sure the fighting pair and the pregnant sub kept their distance from the now quiet hut. The battle was swift but vicious, each of the subs giving as good as they got. After around ten minutes of fighting they were both bloody, scraps and cuts scattering their bodies. Fenir decided to step in. It was clear that the two were to evenly matched for this to end well for anyone, Maya had hammered home his point for Lemmy, but no amount of fighting would change his pronouncement of the sub's place outside of the pack. Fenir jumped between the two subs as they broke for another attack, growling at them both. They both instantly backed down, their submissive nature not allowing them to stand up directly to their Alpha. Blue came and retrieved his mate as Claw licked Namile's wounds. Fenir barked and led the pack away from the village, into the woods. The sub's gave a parting look to the hut, listening to the scrabbling at the door as the sub awoke and tried to join the rest of the pack.
Harry felt the sun rise over his hut well before he saw the daylight seep in through his roof window. His body hurt. His muscles felt like they were on fire, objecting to ever movement he made. As he opened his eyes he felt like hot pokers had been forced into them, as bright white light forced itself into nocturnal eyes. He decided to stay on the floor and not move, whilst his body return to normal after his transformation. He knew it would be bad. He remembered looking after Remmy after his transformations, when his pain would soak through to his very bones. He was lucky, in a way, he didn’t have to move or speak to anyone.
**FLASHBACK**
“Come on, Remmy, drink some water.” Harry held the bowl to Remus’s lips through the bars and gently poured it into his waiting mouth. Remmy’s body lay naked on the bottom of his conjured cage, covered in dirt and sores. The Wolfsbain hadn’t been as good this month, it had been getting worse since they had lost the war, ingredients not as fresh or the potion being disturbed, meaning that it was pretty useless when it came to Remmy’s transformations, but this was the worst he had seen. Harry heard stirrings from the camp around him. “Come on, Remmy, they are waking up. You have to get up or they will get mad.” Remmy stirred slightly, his slurred brain moving slowly to wake his body up. Remmy’s eyes cracked open slightly only to close up again suddenly. His pupils were wide open like a cat’s in the dark, reflecting light back at Harry until they looked white. Remmy tried again to open his eyes. “That’s it, we have to get moving. If they see you like this...” Remus groaned and moved his hands to the floor to push himself up. Once he was sitting Harry covered him quickly with a blanket. “Are you ok, Remmy?”
“I’m fine, pup. Just tired and sore. Can you get me my clothes?” Harry retrieved the shirt and trousers he had picked up on his way out of his tent and passed them through the bars. They would have to wait until Kingsley got up before the cage could be opened but as long as he was decent when they came out he would be released quickly. Harry shuddered as he remembered the one time he had woken up late after the full moon and Remus hadn’t been ready. He was made to spend the entire day in the cage, naked, the others throwing scraps at him through the bars. Remus placed the shirt over his head and then struggled to stand in the small cage to pull on the trousers.
“Are you really ok, Remus?”
“Honestly, Harry, I’m fine. All it takes is a little breakfast and I will be right as rain.” Remus put on his best happy-go-lucky face as he tried to do up the small buttons on his trousers.
Harry gave a small smile, hiding the worry he felt. They would do this every time. Remus was suffer through the pain to stop Harry from worrying and Harry was force a smile on his face to make Remus think he was buying it. “Why do they like this, Remus? The other werewolves, I mean. They don’t take Wolfsbain or anything and actually like being werewolves! Why would they...”
“It is not always like this.” Remus’s face turned towards the ground and his voice hushed. Harry came closer to the cage knowing that this was not something Remus wanted the others to over hear him telling. “I remember a time when I love the full moon. I used to play and run, and the world would smell so perfect. I could see everything shining and hear the world around me with such detail that when I woke up the next morning it was almost like being deaf. You see werewolves are magical creatures ” Harry settled quickly as Remus went into teacher mode. “that have a natural connection to the wild world around them. That is why they live in the forests, especially magic forests like the one around Hogwarts. When the pack transforms they join their own magic and that of the wild around them together which allows them to transform painlessly.” Remus paused and gave Harry a quick smile. Harry returned it with ernest. He loved it when Remus talked to him like this, like they were still in Hogwarts DA classroom and the biggest challenge they faced was homework assignments.
“When I was taken away from my pack they... they kept us by ourselves, away from any of the other pups, to make sure we didn’t create small packs of pups, and then let us transform without Wolfsbain.” Remus paused slightly, as if reliving that moment. “I have never felt such pain as I did those first few months, but it wasn’t the pain that was the worst thing, it was the way my mind would warp. I was no longer the wonderful beast as I was before, I was mindless and twisted, attacking anything and anyone. They didn’t go as far as to let me kill anyone but I think they might have with some of the others. Then they would give us Wolfsbain and although we were no longer wolves and the pain was still there my mind no longer twisted to evil. It became a salvation, a miracle. They wanted us to be truly disgusted with ourselves so we would be docile and rely on them for Wolfsbain, hard working strong slaves, addicted to their drugs.”
“That is horrible! Why do you let them do that to you?” Harry’s exclamation did not go unnoticed by the rest of the camp but they were too busy getting dressed and fed to bother with the two of them. Harry dropped his tone slightly.
Remus gave a small chuckle. “I didn’t, did I? All the others stayed in the work camps with their steady supply. I decided to go to Hogwarts instead, even though they refused to give me Wolfsbain, I chose a future instead of the poison. And then I met you father and Sirius and Peter and they saved me, became my new pack. I cannot describe to you how wonderful it was the first time they came running with me under the full moon. It was like almost having my pack back again. And then they were gone.” Remus’s face dropped as he locked himself into those painful memories.
“Why didn’t you just go back to your old pack? They knew you didn’t want to leave, I am sure they would take you back!” Harry smiled, trying to lift Remus’s spirits. “I am sure they still would. You don’t need to fight with us, you could go back to them!”
Remus shook his head sadly. “I can’t go back, Harry, for lots of reasons. They would never take me back and anyway who would look after you if I left?” Remus gave a small laugh, trying to life Harry’s spirits.
“I can take care of myself, Remmy. You have to go. I will miss you so much but at least I know you will be happy.” Harry tried to keep his voice low but Remus could tell that he was getting excited.
“No, Harry, I can’t go back. I am… not like them anymore. Wolfsbain poisons the wolf inside you, stops you from connection to the wild magic and halts the transformation halfway. That is why I don’t look like a proper wolf when I change. Nothing can change that. The pack would see me as a monster and even if they hated to do it they would have to destroy...” Remus paused for a moment as Kingsley approached.
“I see you are a presentable human again, wolf” Kingsley was twirling the key ring around his finger.
“As you see, Kingsley, so if you could please let me out, it would be most helpful.”
“You need to dismantle camp whilst we eat, we need to move to the next location quickly.” Remus nodded quickly and Kingsley opened the cage. “Harry, Ron wants to see in your tent.” Harry nodded his head slowly, fear spreading through his body. Remus growled low in his throat after Kingsley and then staggered out of the cage and then finally straightened out his back with a pop.
"I have to go." Harry said quietly, dreading what was to come. Remmy pulled him into a bear hug, not wanting to let go.
"I wish I could get you away from here, get you away from them."
"There is no where else to go. Voldemort would kill us the moment he saw us and where would the rebellion be? We can't leave them, Remmy." Remus gave a small chuckle, gallows humour.
"My pack would have loved you. You would have been the perfect sub, always so giving. I don't give a shit about the rebellion. If I could think of a place where you could be safe we would be out of here in a heartbeat." Harry gave him a small smile and removed himself from Remus's arms.
"I'd better go… they'll be angry if I take too long. I will grab you some breakfast." With that Harry turned and walked quickly towards his tent.
**END FLASHBACK**
Harry remembered that morning like it had happened yesterday but this morning was the first time he truly understood the pain Remus was taking about. The pain in his body was agonising but it was the pain in his mind which hurt the most. He looked around his destroyed hut. It looked like a bomb had gone off with all his furniture laying broken and discarded against the far wall, where it had been thrown. The side which had been cleared was down to the bare floor and now sported a large hole against the wall, where he had tried to dig his way out. He wished there was some way to hide it from the wolves that visited him, so maybe during the next moon…
His chain of throughout was interrupted by a flutter in his belly. It felt like a giggle rising from the depths of his soul and pouring out into the world. Then came a small spark, like a static shock. It joined with the other feeling to become a little dance around him. It spread throughout him, soothing his hurts like a balm. Two little sparks, like lights in the darkness, flew through him. Suddenly his own magic answered with a fanfare, joining the dance. The joy overflowed from Harry and out of his mouth in an eruption of laughter. He could almost here the two sparks giggle along with him. He wanted to get up and start spinning around, dancing with his children. suddenly the feelings changed, they began to merge into one, surrounding and encompassing his won magic, until he couldn't tell where one stopped or another began. It was like nothing he had ever felt before but he grabbed hold of it with both hands. This was what had been missing last night, the connection that would keep him grounded, keep him from loosing himself again. They would help him, they would love him, nothing could separate them.
A/N I have added more Harry to this chapter and then divided it into two. I think it was important to understand why werewolves are so pack orientated and why Harry's punishment is so horrific. After I added this part the chapter was then pushed 7,000 words and seeing as there was a natural division in time I thought the best idea was to divide up the two. I hope you all agree with me, if not please let me know.
