The Girl Amongst The Wolves

Chapter 8

“If I asked you an honest question, do you think you could give me an honest answer?”

She laughed. “I should think so.”

“Now, I’m not asking for hut numbers or names.” Lauren visibly bristled. “Is my mate in the Pack?”

Lauren began to stutter and mix up her words, as was her habit when she was nervous. “Well, I’m not sure if your Pack is in the mate. No! I mean-”

“Lauren, I asked for an honest answer.” Hermione snapped. “I told you, I’m not looking for names. Just say ‘yes’ or ‘no’. Is my mate in the Pack?” Lauren made an uncomfortable groaning noise before nodding. “Does he like me?” She grunted again, nodding. “Would I like him if I knew?” Lauren nodded confidently that time. “You’re not lying, right? You know I can tell when you lie.”

“I’m not lying. If he told you that he was your mate, you’d like him. You...Kinda like him now.”

“Lauren!” Fenrir’s voice shouted. They watched as he came up in front of them with a look of pure fury on his face. “How many times do you have to be told?! You know that you’re-”

“Oh, shut up, Fenrir.” Hermione groaned, spitting a pip on the floor.

Lauren and the Alpha were speechless. They started to say different things but Hermione didn’t listen to either of them.

“Hermione, you can’t talk to Fenrir like that!”

“How dare you speak to me like that?!”

She sighed. “Whatever.” She stood up, walked down the stairs and went to brush past Fenrir when he grabbed her arm and pulled her back to him.

“I have been very liberal with you, Hermione. Perhaps too liberal. But you will learn, Hermione, that you must respect and honour me for the rest of your life.” The entire Pack had gathered around them at this point.

“And why should I do that?! All you’ve ever done is patronise me and talk down to me and treat me like a baby! Why the hell should I respect you?!”

“Because I’m your mate!”

!”!

“You’re my...?” Hermione, Fenrir, Cami, Lauren and the Beta Henry were in the dining hall alone. Hermione sat on the table with her head in her hands while Fenrir paced the room, Henry leant against the wall near the shadows, never saying a word. Cami and Lauren sat next to Hermione and rubbed her back, neck and face comfortingly. Werewolves were very physical creatures.

“It’s okay, Hermione. I know I should have told you sooner but-”

“You lied to me. All those times I asked about my mate and you kept saying that you didn’t know or my mate wasn’t in the Pack or...All those times I asked about the most important aspect of my life and you just lied straight to my face.”

“I did it to protect you.”

“No, you didn’t. You did it to protect your own arse.” She paused and sniffed. “How did you imagine it going? You keep this secret from me for eight years, you suddenly spring it on me, presumably on my birthday, shock the hell out of me. But I don’t mind and rush into your arms and forgive and forget everything?”

“Not quite.” He said moodily.

“Then how? ’Cause you better tell me right now or you’re going to get a surprise coming to you soon enough.” She threatened.

“What are you going to do, Hermione?” He challenged.

“Don’t you dare mess with me, old man.” She taunted, standing up. “You know how bad I can get when I’m ridiculed.”

“You weren’t ridiculed.”

“Everyone in the Pack knew!” She screamed. “Everyone knew! I was the only one who didn’t know what concerned me most! How could you do that to me?! Humiliate me like this?!”

“I hardly humiliated you.” He said in a moody tone again.

“You did more than that. You made me feel like a fool.”

“Hermione, I’m very sorry but I didn’t want to-”

“Come out with it? Tell me the truth? Stop me when I’m there.” She snapped.

He suddenly marched up to her, grabbed her arms and shook her. “Get this out of your system now, Hermione. Because now that you know the truth, I will expect you to behave like my mate. Lauren and Charles act like a mated pair-”

“I’m not her and you’re not him!”

“You will treat me like your Dominant and you will respect me properly.” He gave her a final shake.

“How is that different to how I have to treat you now?” She said seriously.

Fenrir didn’t say anything. He just shoved her back against the table and stormed out. “You will still sleep in our hut.”

“Will I?”

“Yes, you will. I expect you in our hut within half an hour.”

“Half an hour? Is that it? Half an hour to get over-?”

“Grow up, Hermione!” He roared. “You have half an hour before I drag you by your hair back to our hut.” She knew he would, having done so when she was twelve and refused to go to bed after a party the night before a full moon.

He left and Henry followed a moment later, leaving the women alone. Lauren immediately pulled her friend into a hug and Cami hugged them both loosely. They held each other for a few minutes before they started to walk around the camp. Cami went in the middle of the trio with the teens either side of her. She put her arms around their shoulder and they wrapped theirs around her waist as she gave them motherly advice.

“…Men like Alpha, or even Charles or Henry, are…” She searched for the right word, “Arrogant. Arrogant and cocky. You just kind of have to ignore them.”

“That’s it? That’s your advice?” Lauren scoffed.

“That’s all I can really say. I mean, the men may act alike but every relationship is different. For example, Henry acts very strict around everyone and doesn’t talk that much but when we’re alone, I can hardly get a word in.” She laughed.

“But I know Fenrir. He acts strict because he is strict. I don’t want a commanding relationship. I want a man that won’t try and control me and what I do. And Fenrir will.” Hermione said solemnly.

“You don’t know that. The Fenrir you know and have seen all your life is the Alpha Fenrir. You haven’t seen your mate Fenrir.” Cami chided, giving the girl a gently squeeze. “Things will get better. Just be open-minded about it.”

!”!

Hermione returned to her and Fenrir’s hut a few minutes before her half an hour deadline. He was sitting on the bed, his hands held together as if in prayer and his forehead resting against his fingertips while bouncing his leg nervously. When the door opened, he looked up and faintly smiled at her.

“Good to see I don’t have to drag you back.” He laughed. She didn’t laugh. She simply closed the door and picked her pyjamas up from her pillow. Fenrir was silent as she went behind the changing screen in the corner and quickly changed clothes without a word. He watched as she folded her clothes and put them in the wash basket and then pulled back the covers to her bed. She sat down on the edge, brushed off the soles of her feet and climbed into bed.

“Tired? You’re usually chattier than this.” She didn’t answer. He sighed and put his head in his hands for second before looking up again. “Hermione, we need to talk about this.”

“There’s nothing to talk about.”

“Yes, there is. You must have questions. Or just want to scream at me.”

She thought. “No.” She said simply and shrugged. She had said all she had needed to say to him.

He sighed and gave up. Lying back in his clothes, he extinguished the lights. In the darkness, Hermione sighed and let a tear slip from her eye.

Earlier that night

“Albus, I think we’ve got it.” Ex-Auror Alastor ‘Mad-Eye’ Moody declared. Over the previous few months, the Order of the Phoenix had been working on a spell that could locate certain Dark creatures. It had taken many people a lot of time and energy to complete and they’d already had two false-alarms.

“Well, let’s hope that the third time is the charm.”

“Or spell.” Moody grunted. “Is Lupin in place?” He asked Tonks.

“Yeah.” She said. Remus was upstairs.

“Everyone; clear the room!” Moody ordered. “Ostendo Bestia.”

A soft hum sounded through the room before a ghostly arrow formed in the air and pointed upwards with a faint number one under it.

“I do believe we have our spell.” Dumbledore said with a twinkle in his eye.
