Remus John Lupin stood on the outskirts of the forest where he'd grown up. The wind rustled and danced around him, pushing him further to the entrance. He shivered, tucking up the collar of his coat and wrapped his arms around his body.
The forest still looked the same, still as ominous, from when he'd finally left the pack for the last time. There had been no goodbyes, no remorse. In fact no one had even realized he was gone. "Come on Remus, get a grip and just go." Easier said than done when you were about to face your worst nightmares.
The snow crunched under his boots as he eventually began to walk towards the inky darkness. The air was thick with the scent of his old pack and he knew, without a doubt, that his own scent would soon pick up and they'd be on him faster than a lamb to the slaughter.
Stepping into the forest, Remus barely had time to collect his thoughts before he was tackled to the ground. Groaning he looked up, breath catching in his throat at the sight of the man who had him effectively pinned.
"Fe-"
"Don't!" Fenrir barked, causing him to flinch. The older man raised a fist as if to punch Remus. The younger lycan squeezed his eyes shut but instead Fenrir slammed his fist into the ground by the boys head, his tone deadly calm. Though his heavy breathing couldn't mask the anger.
"Why are you here?"
"You were right." Remus stated, eyes locking with Fenrir's refusing to show how scared he was. "They were everything you'd said they'd be." He swallowed, eyes not wavering but burning with a passion that could only have come from being around wizards and witches.
"I... I was at Hogwarts." He started, though Fenrir probably already knew that. "I couldn't stay once they found out." He forced himself to sound angry, as angry as a 16 year old could sound at least.
Fenrir stared down at Remus, amber eyes smoldering and only giving a glimpse at the feral monster that lay underneath the equally wild surface. "So you thought you could just come back here with your-" he sneered, mocking, "-tail between your legs, cub?"
Keeping Remus' body prone underneath his own, asserting his dominance right from the off, Fenrir lowered his head and pressed his face into the crook of the other's neck to take in his scent. "Keep still," he growled the command; one false move and he'd tear Remus' throat out in the bat of an eyelash.
"I don't know what I thought." Remus admitted. He could feel his heart beating, no pounding, against his chest and he knew Fenrir could hear it. If he hadn't been pinned down, he'd have made a run for it. Promises had been made however, and as much as he wanted to flee, he couldn't break that promise.
The pounding of his heart faltered, skipping a beat, when Fenrir lowered his head. The smallest of breaths escaped his lips as the savage werewolf pressed his own to Remus' neck. "What are you-?"
"You reek of them," Remus flinched at the tone while Fenrir seethed, pulling his head back from Remus' neck and spitting onto the forest ground. It was an obvious defamation of the non-wolf scents that were draped over Remus like a nose-burning cologne, "-and you dare sully this hallowed ground with their presence?" The alpha brought a hand up again, balling it into a fist.
"I should destroy you here and now," Although Fenrir's body was fraught with tension his words were almost eerily neutral aside from the snarl that still curled his thin lips, "-I should leave you to the pack of brothers and sisters you abandoned, let them deal with you."
"No, wait, you don't have to do that." Remus started, eyes leaving Fenrir's for a split second to glance at the raised fist. "You need me."
He knew he'd have to back this up somehow and began talking again with earnest. "I know how they live, how they act. I've been on the inside... You can't tell me that doesn't help you."
"Helps me?" Fenrir retorted dryly, "You've got some balls, Remus Lupin, and were it not for the fact mine, and others of the pack are bigger, then I might be impressed." He wasn't referring to manhood size, but if Remus wanted to go there Fenrir wouldn't deny it.
"What exactly do you think you can tell me that we haven't figured out ourselves?" Fenrir always referred to the pack with 'we' even though everyone in the pack knew that Fenrir was in charge and there was no two-ways about it.
"I've lived with them." Remus countered, feeling his confidence returning, just that little bit. "I could go back now and find out even more." He realized his mistake as he'd already mentioned them not wanting him, and worked quickly to rectify it.
"If they were a little more understanding, anyway."
"You were the idiot who believed they were 'kind and understanding,'" Fenrir mocked, sneering as he stood up, his strong torso rippling, "-so I have no sympathy for yo-" Fenrir's eyes flashed, landing a foot onto Remus' torso and pressing down when the other tried to stand, "Did I say you could get up?"
"I was 11 years old." Remus countered, eyes holding a defiance that he originally would have never dared to show. Even when he was pushed back down, he grit his teeth, never once unwavering from his glare.
"So what?" Fenrir growled, "You were still an idiot." Turning his head slightly in a very abrupt, canine-fashion, Fenrir then reached down and grabbed Remus by the scruff of his neck, beginning to drag him further into the forest depths. "I do believe there are others who want to see you."
This was it. There was no turning back from this.
"I... I want to see them too." He lied, trying to keep up with Fenrir's long strides.
"Of course you do," Fenrir snickered without humor, making almost no noise as he walked even though he was moving over dead leaves and brittle-wood twigs. Soon, they came across a clearing with was filled with people, male and female, each of different ages surrounding a large central bonfire.
For the second time that night Remus found it hard to breath. He hoped this didn't mean he was about to be ripped apart, though Fenrir's hand never once left his shirt. He could already feel their eyes on him, their growls of disapproval.
It was hard to believe that they had all been children once.
"What's he doing here?" One voice rang out, causing Remus to turn his head. He was shocked to find his friend, from back when he was a child himself, standing by the fire.
His hair was longer than he remembered, but was still that wonderful shade of platinum blond. His emerald eyes glared, his normally serene features twisted into a snarl. "... Alfie?"
