Double updateeee

Harry and Zayn stared at each other for a second, startled but then they both got onto their feet. The raven haired boy quickly made his way to the door and when the hybrid followed him, he gently pushed him away.

"No, I'm going, you're staying here," Zayn told him, "Get back into bed. All right?" his tone was softer now but still, he had to go quick and so he didn't really have time for convincing the boy to stay.

Fortunately, Harry nodded but before Zayn walked out, he pressed yet another kiss to his lips. Then he let him go.

And so, the raven haired boy ran off with a small smile on his face. He got outside and noticed Louis was already standing there. They made eye contact. The smaller boy's eyes held so much worry and anger. He was probably ready to change into his lion form and chase after whoever made Niall scream.

But they didn't want a fight. Yet, at least. So Zayn shook his head slowly at his friend, giving him a scolding look.

They waited for a few seconds and then in the dark, they noticed movement. Zayn growled as a warning, his eyebrows furrowing. But the shadow only pushed something towards the two and Zayn's eyes widened.

It was Niall. He was unconscious and covered in blood from the cuts he had all over his body. Louis quickly picked him up and rushed back inside, just like Zayn wanted him to. They understood each other without words.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Zayn spoke, "Reveal yourself," he clenched his fists, he was almost shaking with the anger. His blood was boiling but he knew he couldn't attack whoever it was just like that. He didn't know if he was alone or not.

He's only got a snort in reply and well, what the fuck. Did they think it was funny?

"What do you want? It's our territory. We've been living here for the past few years," Zayn said through clenched teeth, "You do not attack the owners- I'm talking to you!"

Zayn sighed. The shadow ran away and that left him alone. He scanned the surroundings for a while before getting back inside the house, locking the door. He rushed to Niall's bedroom to find the rest of the boys surrounding the hurt lad in his bed.

Liam has already took care of his wounds, Louis was washing the boy's face from the blood and Harry was standing there, sniffling quietly. Oh boy, he surely cried a lot.

Zayn walked to the hybrid and put his hand on his back, gently rubbing it. The boy immediately moved to his side and hugged him closely, leaning into his touch.

"How is he?" Zayn asked quietly. The air felt so heavy.

"Healing. It'll take a day or two. He should be awake in an hour or so," Liam murmured sadly and Louis gently kissed on his temple, "But that means we all have to stay here," he smiled at his boyfriend weakly before looking at Zayn, "We can't move him or it'll slow down his healing."

The raven haired boy cursed under his breath, "No more patrols alone, then," he spoke, "But we're only three.. Two now. And they must have a bigger group. Niall surely is able to take three wolves, come on," he stressed and let out a breath. They needed support. It definitely meant that those wolves wanted something from them. But to have a pack support them, they have to be a pack themselves. Louis and Liam knew it and were staring up at Zayn expectantly.

"Make them your pack. We all know it's the only way," Liam said softly, yet firmly.

"I know. But still, Niall needs to get better first," Zayn sighed and pulled away from Harry to walk away and stare out the window. Yet again he'd have a responsibility of keeping someone alive. This time, it wasn't only random shapeshifters but his friends. And it made his chest clench painfully.

"Liam and Harry. You two need training as well," He spoke, "You're a part of it too."

"Liam is not participating in any fight!" Louis growled, standing up from his seat, "Are you crazy? He's only human!"

"Shut up!" Zayn shouted, turning to his friend, his face scrunched up in anger, "Sit the fuck down and listen to me," he growled but he could see Louis wasn't giving up so easily. They both got close to each other, growls echoing through the room, "Do you really want to fight right now? With Niall, Liam and Harry in the room? Just because you're so damn stubborn and won't listen to all I have to say?"

That seemed to work on Louis. He slowly backed off, yet he was still glaring at Zayn.

"As I was saying, they need training. Because we can never be too careful," Zayn turned away again, "Do you get it? I'm not sending them to face those guys. They're going to be hidden in a safe place but that also doesn't mean they're going to sit in one place," he chuckled.

"True," Liam agreed and took Louis' hand gently, "I'd go crazy if I had to only wait for you to come back. I want to help."

"Want to help too," Harry volunteered, "I throw things."

Even though it seemed funny and Zayn would probably chuckle if it was some other situation, he now looked at Harry curiously. It could be useful.

"Throw things?" He repeated, "That's good. We'll discuss what you'd be throwing then," he smiled a bit, "I know you know boxing, Liam. But you need something more. You need a weapon."

-*-*-

"We've got one," A dark figure said, bowing in front of a big man, "We hurt him pretty good. And he had the scent of him on himself."

"Very well," The man spoke, showing his yellow teeth in an ugly smile, "How many is there?"

"Three, sir," They replied quickly, "One of them smelled the strongest of him," he informed, still keeping his head down, "And it was.. I think it was Zayn Malik."

The man froze for a second before banging is fist onto the desk he was sitting by. "Liar!  He's dead!" he growled and got up, leaning his weight on his hands onto the desk which let out a squeak of protest.

"I-I've seen him myself, sir," The servant stuttered in fear, "I wouldn't ever lie to you. He was there."

The man got up completely and reached for a cigarette. He lit it up and took a long drag of it, it cleared his mind and helped him relax. Especially in such a stressful circumstance.

"Zayn Malik," He spoke, his fist clenching angrily, "This time.. I'm not letting you stay alive. It's a promise!" He laughed evilly.
