The Pack

The Pack Chapter 3 - - Choices

Let them into your heart, to allow the understanding necessary for their preservation.

It's funny how my body, of its own accord, loves to pass out when shit hits the fan. I guess it's the fact that the fan was thirty feet tall and had blades of doom, but what can you do?

I was in bed again but this time no one was in it. It had gotten dark outside but the small lamp at the bedside table lit the room well enough.

I knew he was there before I saw him... for some reason I just knew. He was balanced in a crouch position on a stool in the far corner, just watching me. His eyes held so much pain and wore a darkening spot where I had punched him in the face. I wanted to die at the thought that I had really hit him, my love.

I spoke first out of desperation to end this evil silence, "What are you?" I asked in a very low whisper, afraid a loud noise would startle him. The pain vanished a little from his eyes but it was replaced by a cold fear.

"It's a long story... can I come sit over there with you?" He asked almost begging.

I nodded and he got down from his perch to sit that the farthest end of the bed with his knees close to his face and arms wrapped around them. He looked vulnerable and I could tell it was for me.

"It's hard to explain really but I guess the simplest way would be to tell you... I'm a Lycanthrope... or Werewolf." Simple enough... ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? Werewolves aren't real, but then how did that wolf become a kid?

"What? How is that possible?" I was stunned. Was I dreaming, drugged, or just plain crazy?

"Well we have always been here just as long as humans have. We are a part of nature, not some scary curse or what ever people think. I wanted to meet you so bad since the moment I smelled you out in the forest near your house." This surprised me that the one boy meant for me knew me long before I ever met him.

"Out of all the humans I've met you smelled perfect. You were at the small pond just sitting at the edge looking out at the glass like water. I fell in love then. You looked happy and please to be out with nature. From that moment I know no one was ever going to be like you.

When you got hurt I went nuts they had to tie me down to this very bed for a week to keep me from doing something stupid. My feet weren't really hurt I just faking it because I wanted to be near you even if you were sleeping for what seemed like forever. My family, pack really, said I was nuts but I had to meet you." He looked so scared.

I started to cry... and my shaking got worse, "S... so you're going to like kill me or something?" I stuttered out. Then I heard a giggle from outside the door.

Matt barked at the door in such a fierce way the hinges creaked and whom ever was out there scattered fast. He then turned back to see me so scared he started to cry too. "No sweetie I would never hurt you, not ever" He said with a dead serious look.

My eyes pleaded for him even if I was scared, but I knew I loved him no matter what... wolf and all. I guess he got the signal because he moved closer to hold me as I started to cry more. We held each other for a long time; minutes, hours, days, weeks, years, eternity. It didn't matter as long as he held me.

"I... don't know say Matt but please don't stop holding me if you did I would drift away!" I cried and sobbed hard against him. "I'm so fucking alone and I don't know what to do anymore. I don't have any family or money and worse of all I have no future anymore, it died and burned with all my life!" Crying in his arms felt so good.

He made an odd whimpering sound as he held me tight as ever. "I love you Cody and I want to give you a future, family, and most of all my love." He said whispering in my ear.

Did I here right he wants to `give' me all of that... "What do you mean?" I pulled away slightly to see his eyes and the deep green I've fallen in love with.

"I can make you wolf my love... we could live together and I could teach you what it means to be one of us. Together with our pack you would have a family and a future." His words echoed in my head, wolf... it sound scary and exciting. Could he really do that? Could I let him know I wanted it more than life itself?

I contemplated my options at that moment then spoke, "Mathew I would walk to the ends of the earth for you on two legs or four... I love you. You're all I have left in life to keep me from slipping into oblivion." And for once in my life I didn't cry harder, in FACT I stopped crying all together.

I was still in doubt but I knew he would take it away from me. We fell asleep together, or bodies were so warm and soft wrapped around each other. It was bliss to feel him next to me. I've never slept this good ever.

My eyes fluttered open to happily see my first and last thought of every day. Sleeping face to face had become normal for us, a constant that I loved. He looked peaceful lying there and I wondered how this all could be real.

It took me a moment to understand what I was feeling but my instincts told me to look at the door. In the doorway was sitting the same wolf from before. He was black with patches of white mostly around his chest, but his eyes... they were like arctic water frozen in time.

"Hello." I peeped out quietly.

Changing just as fast as last time he sat indian style in the door frame. He was a cutie, looking ten years old maybe eleven with black hair and those icy blue eyes.

Cocking his head to the side a bit he asked, "What's your name?" in a little voice.

"My names Cody what's yours?" but before he could answer I heard someone call for him.

At the same time Matt whispered, "Luis, leave him alone please!" With that he changed again and scampered off.

My amber eyes met his green as we shared a silent moment but my mind began to wander. Who else lived here and how many of them were there?

As always his super mind reading powers showed themselves. As he got up saying, "I think you should meet the rest of us."

Leading me out of the room into the hall way. We pasted a few doors then reached the stars and went down. My hearth raced with every step taken. We landed in a living room that had two couches, there were a lot of them sitting but they stopped talking when they saw us.

"Everyone I'd like you to meet Cody, Cody this is our pack. Starting from the left here is: Luis the little one, then you know Justin and that's Kiba his mate then there's Nikki, Luke, and last but never least Shane." Pointing to each one I made a mental not to not forget there names.

All of them looked to be no older than nineteen with Luis being the youngest. I saw Justin sitting very close to Kiba, very beautiful black girl with ridicules grey eyes. Nikki, a red head like Matt was sitting awfully close to Luke who did his best to hide a scowl I could feel was for me... Lastly there was Shane with his blond hair and deep brown eyes that told me he was a nice guy

"Hi." I said nervously as I waved, they all smiled accept Luke who still wore that scowl...

Shane was the first to speak, "Welcome Cody it's nice to finally meet the cute face that Matt won't shut the hell up about!" everyone laughed and Matt turned the cutest shade of red ever.

Luke was looking madder than before when he stood up and stalked passed me with a shove and said, "Move runt." Then out the door he went with Nikki going after him.

I was pissed and scared... what the fuck was his problem? I had only been in the house for a day or so and already I had made an enemy without trying. Matt could tell I was going to cry because he grabbed my hand and dragged me to an oversized lazy boy.

He plopped down and pulled me with him. I had never show this much affection in public besides the hospital, but I was scared there and needed him more than life. I was panicky sitting in front of all those people and let them see that I was gay.

I started to shake with fear when Justin reached over and put a hand on my shoulder saying, "Its ok Cody, you're among friends here and the last thing we would do is be mean to you over who you are. Matt has been protecting you like a highly guarded trinket up in his room forever now. I'm very glad he brought you out to meet us." He sat back and put his arm around Kiba again. They looked perfect together like a king and queen watching there court.

I decided to take a brave step and ask, "So... um you're all werewolves then?" All of them nodded. Wow just days ago I would have thought they were all crazy posers but after seeing Luis do what he did I finally and truly believed it.

Justin's eyes shifted to Matt and said, "Matthew, you know I love you brother and I want you to be happy but time is short. The moon is a day or so away..." He trailed off.

Kiba shifted and looked ready to speak. "We are going hunting. This means you have one more day to do what you need to Matt. I'm sorry to speak as though your not here Cody but there are rules that Matt knows and he must follow."

I felt `dismissed' as Matt and I walked back to his room, our room. What great rules needed to be obeyed? I was worried I had gotten him in trouble or something. As he closed the door I started to cry softly.

He looked at me and I was lost for words. I knew the questions but did I want to here the answers? "Matt, did I get you in trouble?" It was all I could say before he embraced me tightly. I let go of it all and started to cry harder. At that moment I felt naked to the world.

We kissed so deeply and completely. We were beyond passion. I wanted to feel him against me with nothing to block our skin. We started to strip mid kiss, it was funny but amazing at the same time.

He led me to the bed where I knew something great was coming but part of me was still scared. Naked, I laid back with him on top of me as we kissed and nibbled each other completely in bliss. I trusted him so much it wiped away the fear faster then I could create it.

He pulled my legs over his so he could be better positioned. "Are you sure my love? We could wait if you want." He said it softly but I could tell he was begging me to say yes.

"Yes." I moaned out between kisses. "Please I need you. I don't want this dream to end!" I moaned in pain and pleasure as he pressed himself against me. My ears instantly rang and I got dizzy as I hyperventilated in a desperate attempt to ease his entry.

He pushed into me with gentle lust that only added to my dizzying situation. I reached up and wrapped my arms around him and pulled myself tighter. God it hurt but it felt so right with him and no other.

He was breathing in my ear loudly and with each grunt he made love to me so entirely I thought of nothing else but him. His skin against mine and his scent wrapping around me was almost more than I could bear! He felt it and quickened his pace to mach my crazed state of mind.

He then bit down on my neck and held me close as he pulled into me harder. His teeth hurt so badly, but it made me whimper for more of his love. All of a sudden, at our climax, his bite changed and was no longer a love bite from a human but a bite from a wolf. I felt his sharp canine teeth dig in as blood and drool dribbled down my neck. He panted long and hard, never letting go of my neck.

"AHHHHHHHHH..." I screamed in pain and pleasure as it all exploded around and inside of me. My blood felt like liquid fire and it burned so beautifully. . The pain was beyond intense, but with my orgasm and being pressed into the bed I could no longer get out even a whisper. I felt every place he had kissed me as though I was being kissed again all at once. Time stopped for me.

Darkness embraced me.
