Harry's Adventures as a Werewolf

11. Unknown

In a dark nearly deserted house, the wind howls outside, making itself known through the cracks in the walls and windowpanes. All else is silent, except for the wind. Two men lay quietly recovering from their previous night's transformation. One is an old hand at the transformations, having gone through them for many years. The other still getting used to it.

Even though they are in each other's company, there is a loneliness about them because they are not complete. They are missing their submissive mate. Last night should have been their first night of running together, but he is still unattainable. Kept away from them by circumstances beyond their control.

They comfort themselves with the knowledge that their mate is well. They can feel it through the bond. Their little submissive is getting stronger every day. He is being well taken care of by others.

"It should be us taking care of him, not them. How much longer will we have to endure this aching emptiness inside?"

"If all goes well, a couple more month's tops. He should be free from the old man's clutches by then. If we try to get close to him before then, we may get caught and then we will never be with him. They will see to it."

Suddenly there is a commotion as a third man enters the house. He runs up to the others very excitedly.

"I saw them. They were together last night."

"That was foolish of you to go to that forest. You could have been caught."

"I was careful not to be seen. All though, it took all of my willpower not to approach them. If they were not together, I don't think I could have stopped myself from approaching my mate."

"You have to be just as careful as we do. As soon as the summer holidays begin, they will both be out of that castle, and we can approach them."

"If it wasn't for the loneliness I can feel through the bond, I would be very jealous of them being together."

"They are both submissive. There is nothing to be jealous of. We will have our mates soon enough."

"Easy for you to say. You two at least have each other. I am alone."

Silence fell over the three men as they listened to the sad tones of the howling wind and thought about their submissive's. It was going to be a long month and a half.
