The Unknown

Chapter 60: Werewolf meet Alpha Wolf

"You took me from breakfast early and you're still not telling me why. Come on, sister," Fenrir complained as he and Dahlia walked beside the lake with the sand and stones with Akio and an Auror by the name of Abernathy watching them. Tonks had yet to switch onto her shift. It was slightly cold and being beside the lake wasn't helping for the wind and Fenrir preferred to be on the other side of the castle with the fire, music, soldiers and of course, food.

Dahlia found her brother amusing and said, "you've still not wondered why Tonks isn't here".

Fenrir stopped pacing in front of the lake and glanced to the Auror and shrugged, "they're Midgardians, I don't know their mindset".

She slapped his shoulder and he laughed at her strength and his teasing as she said, "half Midgardian right here".

"And I'm hungry so why am I here?"

"Are you ever not going to think about food?"

He hummed and answered, "currently I have no other worries, training isn't until later and I don't have to worry about the Asgardian scum anymore and we are all back together again...so no, at this time of morning with no other worries, I will not stop thinking about the wonderful food you have taken me away from".

She rolled her eyes and sighed, "drama queen".

"Drama wolf," he replied with a smile.

She looked to the ground smiling but when she looked back up, she lost it slightly as she bit her lip and said nervously, "Tonks isn't here because she's bringing a friend. Remus Lupin. He's the werewolf you asked to meet".

Fenrir froze and then ran a hand through his hair. He took a deep breath as he paced. "Are you sure?" he asked.

Dahlia nodded and answered, "she sent me a letter late last night saying she would bring him here today. Most wizards are afraid of werewolves, so I told her to meet us here seen as everyone would be having breakfast or lying in and thanks to the weather, students won't be coming down by the lake. Fenrir, he's a good man, he's the one who taught me the Patronus charm that has saved me several times, he means well, and he did not choose to become a werewolf. Besides, he and Tonks are in love with one another and still haven't admitted it to one another, so I would really like it if you didn't go crazy and kill him in front of her when you see him," she quickly smiled.

He didn't smile back, however, as his head went down and he growled slightly and when he brought his head back up, Dahlia had to restrain herself from taking a step back as she saw his green eyes turn red and his claws and teeth come out slightly. He shook his head and moved back as if he had no control over the change and placed his hand onto a large boulder to steady himself as he clenched his fists. Dahlia went to step forward, but he held a hand up and growled, "No".

"Fen-"

"He's close, I can smell him, I can smell the blood of the village, twisted and tainted".

"I'll tell him to leave," she said and took a few steps away.

"No," he growled again, "I need to speak with him".

"Fen, look at you. You can't control the change, the alpha wolf inside of you is telling you to take revenge on a man who didn't do anything to the village but just so happens to have their blood in his veins".

She saw his shoulders go up and down as he was taking deep breaths for a minute or so and she was about to walk away to tell Remus to leave immediately but she saw the claws slowly disappear and he turned, his teeth and eyes had returned to normal. He still had the look of sadness and animalistic fury in his eyes, but he said, "like you said, I'm the alpha wolf. I decide when I change, not my instincts".
