Moonlight Howl
The meeting
Good evening.
My name is Kakashi Hatake and I am a werewolf. Yes…you are probably surprised that I was so blunt about what I am…but why should I hide who I am? Actually to be more accurate I am more than an ordinary werewolf I am the Alpha pack leader. And I am the leader of an old and ancient pack.
We can trace our line back almost a thousand years. I became pack leader about 50 years ago when my father committed suicide. That was a very dark time for our pack. But that is a story for another time…
Instead I would like to tell you a little bit about who and what we are…well maybe not the who …for you have already been told that we are werewolves but maybe more of the what we are.
The what? Is rather simple and easy for me to explain with a little bit of your time I will make it very clear. We are common everyday people except when the moon is full or we are in danger then we become what we are called to be…and that is an aggressive protective animal. Who only thinks about our pack and how to help it?
Now I would like to take the time to bust some of the myths surrounding our race. We don't turn into those Hollywood looking beast hybrid things but we turn into beautiful and deadly animals. Our coloring or should I say fur coloring denotes our rank. I for instants have silver fur and one black eye with one red eye.
For another example…take my beta…his name is Itachi Uchiha and he has black fur when he is in full werewolf mode. My omega his name is Iruka and in his full werewolf mode he had brown fur. And the rest of my pack has brown fur. They consist of Shikamaru Nara, Neji Hyuga, Choji Akimichi, Kiba Inuzuka, Shino Aburame, Hinata Hyuga, and Rock Lee. There is an exception to that rule and that is… Sasuke Uchiha…he has black fur like his brother, Sakura Haruno she had a pale pink color fur and Ino Yamanaka she had a pale color almost blond fur. But the one color that matters the most in our particular pack is silver whereas other packs may have for example a red furred werewolf as their leader…Gaara is one such werewolf but his pack lives in the desert.
You're probably wondering why I am telling you…a civilian. Civilian is what we call all non werewolf people. Now please don't take offense…it is just a word for us to differentiate werewolves and non werewolves.
Now back to the why? I am telling you this because I am a wolf who is looking for his mate. I know that it is strange to ask a random stranger but I am really at a loss. For about six months now I have been having these dreams. And not just any dreams…these dreams are telling me that it is time to find my mate.
Maybe I should start with what the dream is about…okay it goes something like this. I dream that I am in my full form and the moonlight is dancing in the sky. When we say the moonlight dancing in the sky…it means that it is a full moon and basically all of us being the werewolves are out.
Okay back to the dream…I am in a lush and beautiful forest…the night blooming jasmine fills the air with sweet seduction. I can literally feel the grass and dirt underneath my paws as I run farther into the dark forest. I come across a stream…the water seems to glitter like a million diamonds as the sounds give me the feeling of total relaxation.
I walk slowly to the edge of the babbling stream…that is when I see him. He is beautiful…his werewolf form is small and graceful. His fur reminds me of butter…but it is not his fur or his small stature that draws me to him…it is his eyes. They are like nothing I have ever seen before…blue is what they call the color but that hardly does those eyes any justice. They remind me of the sky after a storm…so clear and pure…so innocent but beckoning…so sad yet happy. Those eyes are what draw me to him like a moth to a flame…knowing that I could get burnt but not giving a damn if that happens.
If feel this pull to get closer to him and so as to not scare him away; I walk toward him with care and caution. I can't help it…this desire to be near him is almost too much for me handle. So I continue…my gaze not leaving his for a second…finally I get near him.
Before I go on I should tell you that in the form we are currently in we can still communicate…we just do it telepathically. Imagine if you will…being able to speak to someone without having to talk. Comes in very handy when we are in this form; it helps the pack hunt and protect but it also helps us know who is an enemy or a friend for when we speak this way you can't hide your true heart. Meaning if you are a good person that will show through and the same goes with being a bad person. It is something most supernatural and non supernatural races envy.
But let me get back to my dream…
Finally I get close to him…he smells sweet like a lilac bush. I am close enough to him to feel his body heat…close enough to know that he is a good person. Can't explain how I know but I just do…so to make him feel welcome in my presents…I wag my tail in a friendly sort of way. And he responds in the same way…sort of sweet how shy he is but soon I get the feeling that he is slowly warming up to me.
After a few minutes of friendly tail wagging…I get closer to him and he automatically collapses to the ground. At that time he turns to his back and bares his belly to me…you have no idea how happy that makes me. For it means that he understands that I am an alpha and he respects that…thank god for small wonders.
I then sniff his belly and I can't help but memorize the smell. He wiggles a bit…I think he maybe ticklish. That could come in handy…sorry my head went to the gutter for a moment. Anyway finally I let him up and at that point I start talking to him…
"My name is Kakashi and I am the Alpha for my pack" Now remember this is done telepathically so there is no need for full sentences for the other one will know the truth of your words.
The younger wolf bows his head in respect.
"My name is Naruto and I have no pack" said the now named young wolf.
"It seems Naruto we are having this dream for a reason…are you close to your first heat?" I know that is blunt but that could be the only reason that we both would be here in this dream.
"Yes at least I think I am but I really don't know…" Naruto said with a very sad bow to his head.
Why would he bothered by this? A wolf going through his first heat is a joyous thing. That means he is at the age of consent and if he is an Alpha, Omega, or a Beta then it means that it is time to pick a mate. Now you are probably wondering why I haven't picked a mate yet. Well you do remember I told you about my father? That is why…I was supposed to have picked a mate that year and with my father death…I couldn't leave my pack in such an upheaval. It was very hard for my pack and so I put it off…to be honest I wasn't capable at the time. Just too much was going on with my pack…because that werewolf death took the soul right out of all of us.
And while the pack healed time came and went…you can probably understand that. Anything that traumatic can cause your whole life to be turned upside down. But again I have to ask for your forgiveness…it seems I have wandered again. I didn't mean for that to happen but I think that it will help you understand…
Back to our conversation…it was really sort of perplexing to me as to why he seemed so sad about it. So being the curious wolf that I am…I asked.
"Why do you seem so sad? It is a joyous thing to be going through your first heat…that means that you will never have to be alone again" I want to wipe the feeling of sadness that I am getting through our link…away.
The sad wolf looked at me…
"I am sure that for some wolves it is a joyous time but for one such as me…I am beneath the entitlement of such a happy occasion" those words…how could this young wolf feel that way?
"Why would you say that Naruto…you are a werewolf…we are a proud glorious species" I try to transmit this not with just words but the feelings also.
This young wolf looked at me and for a second I see hope…
Then like a curtain falling over a window…the light faded from his eyes once again.
"No proud Alpha…I am not wrong…I am scum…I am nothing…I am someone to be beaten and hated…destroyed and abused…that is my lot in life" the buttery colored wolf turned his tortured glaze from me. Then I heard the most earth shattering thing…
He whined like an injured animal; who just wanted someone to save him…to hold him and tell him it will be okay. His cry broke my heart…who could have done this to…this innocent creature? Who could have had such an influence as to make him break? Who broke him?
I will find out and I will save him. So then I decided to project over the link a feeling of warmth and a feeling of desire. As hard as I could…I wanted him to know that now he is not alone…and never again will he be alone.
His soft whines ceased as he looked at me in amazement. I could tell that he had never felt anything like that before…
My soul cried out to his and his responded. His battered and bruised soul let me in…it let me feel all that he feels at the moment and what he has felt all of his life. I wanted to bare my teeth and growl at the injustice of what this young one has gone through. I wanted to tear the perpetrator apart…I felt the urge to kill.
I think that it surprised us both with its intensity. For his eyes came up to mine once again and he whined not like before but like a wolf who knows who his alpha is; a wolf who wants his alpha to protect him from some unpleasant situation. And I responded by licking his ear…our way of letting the submissive one know that all will be okay.
Finally after I had gotten control of my animalistic emotions; I was able to calm him down.
When all of this emotional upheaval had finally laid to rest…Naruto seemed tired…I have to admit that I was also drain. So we walked to get closer to the sparkling stream then we both laid down and just enjoyed the night. For what seemed to be an eternity or maybe just one minute we laid there…
Then it seemed that Naruto was waking up from our dream paradise. He got up on shaky legs and looked at me in panic. Shaking his head in a negative motion…
"I don't want to leave…please don't let me wake up…Kakashi please… I will be a good wolf…please…oh god… no" cried Naruto through our link.
I got up and tried to console him.
"Just tell me where you are…I will come for you…don't panic…please I will save you…for you are to be my mate…I will have no other but you" I consoled him through the link.
Naruto shook his head.
"No…I can't tell you…h-h-e-e will h-u-r-t you…" sadness almost overwhelmed me but underneath the sadness was resolve. Like he was trying to protect me!
"Naruto…I am your alpha…I am your mate…tell me where you are so that I can save you" My tone demanded that he tell me. God I hope he tells me…please…
Naruto looked at me in slight surprise for my tone gave him no choice but to respond.
In resonation he started to comply with my demand…
"…I live at Pein…"
And just like that he faded from our dream…
In a panic I tried to sniff the ground to get his scent…but he was gone from the dream and all that was left was the faint but sweet smell of lilac.
In desperation…I began to howl…
Then all of the sudden I felt my real body being shaken…someone was trying to wake me…
I felt the dream fade away…as I was pulled into a waken state. Sitting up suddenly…I hit someone in the head. For as the pain from the hit rushed through me I heard someone start cussing…but I didn't care…I have to find him…I have to save him.
Rapidly I tried to get up but the person who woke me held me down.
Hearing words being said to me…I tried to concentrate on them.
"Damn…Kakashi…you have a hard head" said my Beta Itachi.
Realizing where I was…I tried to calm down. It was very hard for my emotions were going crazy with the desire to find and protect Naruto. But I am an alpha…I have to control myself.
Blinking away the sleep from my eyes…I looked at my beta.
"I found him…Itachi…I found him and he is in trouble…we have to find him immediately" I rambled my words but Itachi seemed to understand me.
"You finally had the mate dream? What do you mean 'in trouble'? Where is he?" questions rapidly shot from my beta's mouth.
I shook my head…as this gnawing guilt plagued my mind.
"I don't know where he is…but we must find him….he is being hurt by someone and we must save him" I said in a slight panic.
Itachi looked at me a nodded.
"We will find him…but did he give you any clue as to where he is? And what is his name?" asked Itachi.
"His name is Naruto and he faded away before he could get where he was fully out but I do know that he is with someone named Pein…that is all I know" I said with determination.
"Okay…that a least is something…do you want me to call the pack in?" asked my beta.
"Yes…I want everyone here by 9 o'clock tonight…that is an order" I said.
"Yes…my alpha…it will be done" at those parting words Itachi left to make the necessary phone calls.
I get up slowly and make my way into the kitchen; for I feel the need to have a beer. As I take a long drink from the beverage…I can feel my panic becoming a little less overwhelming.
I make my way back into the living room and sit back down on sofa. Closing my eyes, I begin to plan…
As you see I really do need your help. For there is a lost and hurt wolf; maybe you have seen him? Passed him on the street…
During the full moon you may have thought he was a dog…maybe you left him some scraps from your supper…
Please rack your brain…for I need to find him as soon as possible. He is too be my mate…my forever. Just think about it…and please tell me before the pack meeting tonight.
Please…I beg of you!
Please…
