Chapter 1: Capture
The silver wolf, Bakura fled across the field along with his mate, Yugi who had black fur with a little golden tint added into it. Bakura and Yugi were trying their best to escape the hunters who were after their pelts.
"Bakura how much longer!" the 2 year old Yugi panted as he dodged another one of the hunter's traps.
"Don't worry love it isn't much further-"the 4 year old Bakura got cut off by gun shots in the air when they passed the 'no poaching beyond this point' fence. After running for another 10 minutes Yugi lied down almost ready to pass out as Bakura back tracked and sniffed his mate.
"Sorry Bakura, my love I can't go on anymore," Yugi said quietly as he let his eyes droop.
"Don't worry sweet heart you did fine you can rest," Bakura said softly in the other male's ear as he drifted off to sleep. Now happy Bakura laid down next to Yugi and went to sleep with his beloved mate.
The whistle sounded out throughout the Wolf's Cage as their breakfast was served and dropped off, Ryou a silver wolf and his mate Heba who was full black stepped out of their den first followed close by Atemu who had a black under belly and a golden layer of fur on top with his mate Yami who had black fur with a golden tint at the top of his ears and end of his tail. Seto was a brownish black colored wolf who had stepped out of his cave with his light colored brown mate, Joey. The last of the wolves were Marik who had a light golden fur all around and his 2 month pregnant mate Malik who had a little darker golden colored pelt. Before any of the wolves could go to their food they were called over by their neighbors Tea and Tristan who were light brown cougars.
"Hey guys guess what Tristan heard from one of the caretakers!" Tea said happily, the wolves gave her a blank expression as Tristan nudged her to keep going, "Oh sorry! Anyways I heard they are planning on bringing more wolves into the zoo since hunters keep killing them by the day,"
"This is trouble, wolves are the highest pelt on the market right now so the hunters are all focused on our species," Ryou whined, concerned about all the other wolves who haven't been killed by the hunters. Heba walked over to his mate and comforted him as best he could which seemed to help.
"I can see why they would want to bring in more wolves after all it is to help end hunting on them and even if it becomes illegal hunters would even lie to keep and sell pelts of wolves," Marik growled as he lay on the ground with his pregnant mate.
"There is nothing we can do about it come on let's eat and thanks Tea for the update," Tea nodded as Atemu began to lead the wolves back and eat with the help of Marik and Joey Malik got up as he walked over the food and began to eat along with the rest of the pack.
After waking up, Bakura unwrapped himself from his mate as he stared down at his mate, for Yugi looked starved you could make out every one of his ribs. Bakura was in no better condition for the hunters stopped them from even hunting small rabbits; the silver wolf nuzzled his mate for a moment and went off to hunt.
For what seemed like a week to the silver wolf, Bakura finally caught 2 fat rabbits, which was better than nothing. After returning he found Yugi awake, who barked happily and wagged his tail.
"Hi love," Bakura said as a he dropped one of the rabbits at Yugi's feet and touched noses with him.
"I was wondering where you went Kura," Yugi murmured as both sat down close to each other and bite into their rabbits.
"You know as well as I do that we need to keep up are strength, after all we did lose a litter from lose dammed hunters," Bakura's soft tone turned to a broken one at the end of his words and Yugi whined as a tears dropped to the ground as he remembered clearly that the hunters had cut off any access to food which weakened Yugi greatly while he was close to the end of his pregnancy and the pups were born dead as they died outta starvation. Yugi was horrified as was Bakura and was heartbroken for so long and still is.
"Shhh Love its ok…" Bakura said softly trying to keep his mate from having a break down, Yugi shut his eyes as more tears leaked out and he sank to the ground followed by Bakura, the rabbits long forgotten.
The 3 zoo keepers who had been looking for wolves finally found 2 who were eating rabbits.
"Look at those poor loves!" a female keeper cried out as she saw the conditions Yugi and Bakura were in.
"That's awful!" One of the males agreed as they watched the rabbits long forgotten and watched the black one cry out in what seemed like misery which broke all three of the Zoo keeper's hearts. They starred as the silver one as he curled himself around the smaller one trying to sooth him.
"I wonder what happened to that poor black wolf," The other male said sadly as he watched in sadness.
"I've only seen a wolf act like that only when it's lost a mate or a litter of pups," the Female said sadly, "And judging by the way its acting is it wasn't too long ago either…Come on lets set up traps and get going I don't know how long I can take watching these poor wolves any long," The others agreed as they got the blow darts ready as they aimed they froze as the silver one perked up his ears and curled his lips back in a snarl. The wolf had spotted them as he crouched down and began to run at them they shot the dart hitting Bakura in the leg with it as the tranquilizer took affect rather fast as he dropped to the ground and shot the next hitting Yugi in the side with the dart had him drop as he began to get up. The 3 zoo keepers got out of the hiding spots and put the 2 wolves in one large cage and began to walk back to the truck and head back to the Zoo,
After hearing the truck stop all the wolves made their way to the back of the habitat as they had a clear view of the back entrance threw the clear glass even Tea and Tristan were able to see the new arrival of wolves.
"I heard from the zoo keepers they found 2 wolves and that they were mates," Seto explained from what he learned.
"I heard another zoo keeper say that the two are in horrible conditions," Yami whined, worried.
Atemu saw this and went to comfort his mate as he rested his muzzle on Yami's head, "Don't worry I'm sure it can't be that bad," Yami leaned more into Atemu.
"We never know unless they put the damned cage down off that truck," Marik said impatiently, who was shushed by Malik.
"He does have a point Malik and I know you want to see the new arrivals just as bad," Tristan pointed out, who earned a sigh from Malik who couldn't disagree. All the chatter stopped as the 3 zoo keepers got out of the truck and opened the trunk and got out a cage and set it on the ground. The wolves tried seeing past the zoo keepers legs but it proved to fail.
"Oh we can't see anything from this angle," Heba complained as the wolves and cougars watched as the Zoo keepers talked and 2 went into the building leaving the female crouching down next to the cage to the side closest to the truck which gave them full view of the 2 wolves. Tea gave a little shriek as she saw every one of the 2 wolf's ribs and with both of their eyes closed it looked like they were dead with in the cage.
"Oh my god!" Joey whined saddened by the new arrivals conditions, if it wasn't for the rise and fall of the 2 wolves chest all the wolves would have thought them dead.
"Look at the silver one's side," Atemu cried out as he saw a long scar from the wolf's neck down to his back leg showed on the side Bakura was laying, all of the wolves seeked comfort to each other as they watched as the silver wolf slowly opened his eyes. Ryou was the first one to notice this.
"Uh guys…Look," Ryou said as he flicked his tail towards Bakura who opened his eyes and the first thing he saw was the zoo keeper. They stared in horror as the silver wolf got up and snarled at the zoo keeper frightening her and lunged managing to clip the female with his teeth in her leg most likely going to leave a scar as it bleed. Other zoo keepers came out and sedated the silver wolf once again as they helped pick up the female and carry her inside.
"Why would that silver wolf hurt Misty!" Tea cried out at the events as the wolves starred at in horror at the silver's actions.
"You guys must remember that they came from the wild while we were born here so I'm guessing the wolf doesn't know that they are trying to help," Atemu said calming down the others.
"You have a point but why would that wolf just snarl and lunge not caring who got hurt," Malik asked.
"Well considering that the silver one has a mate he must be protecting the other," Tristan said trying to get logic on their side and all the wolves agreed on it as they watch the cage be wheeled away into the building but not before they caught violet eyes of the black wolf gazing confused.
Yugi's POV
The last I remembered was my mate; Bakura snarling at some unwanted humans who I didn't know was friend or foe. As I blink away the sleepiness, I noticed that the humans had stuck me in a cage which I fretted I was about to be skinned along with Bakura. I worried for us both as I tilt my head I can see other wolves staring at me before the humans push the cage into the building. Confused and very afraid my ears flatten against my head and my tail tucked tightly against my side as I lay on the metal cage, I let out a distressed whine followed by a whine of pain as I wielded my body against the bars of the cage as I saw the humans looked alarmed and worried.
"Shhh it's ok little one," I heard a human female's voice ring across the silence of the room that we had just entered, "you are safe now no need to be afraid," I raised by head to see a female with light black hair and light brown eyes say softly as she opened the cage carefully. I looked to my right and found Bakura still asleep after the darts took effect, so I knew he would be out for a little while as I tried to stand up but my aching muscles didn't allow it and fell back down once I succeed to stand up for half a second. I watched the humans gaze worriedly at me as I felt arms grab me and gently lay me on a metal table close by. I tried to struggle outta the man's grip but I failed, I gave up struggling as they laid me down gently on the table.
Normal POV
The female named, Vivian closed the cage after Solomon (I think u spelled it right) gabbed the black wolf and set him on the table to be examined. Vivian took precautions and closed the wolf's cage for she knew what happened to her friend Misty when she got to close to the Bakura's reach. Vivian had realized that Yugi wasn't going to harm them just started to look over him and found no health issues except for the part of starvation. After quickly examining Bakura and placed him back in the cage along with Yugi, Vivian turned to the other male in the room.
"Aaron I want a close watch on these wolves for I have a feeling with the sudden good meals that these wolves are going to get their bodies might act differently causing sickness to them," Aaron nodded at Vivian's instructions which sounded reasonable since Bakura and Yugi looked like they had ran to hell and back. Vivian thought it was best for the two wolves to be sent to the wolf's cage to see how they reacted as they sedated Yugi once again Solomon and Aaron picked up the cage with Yugi and Bakura in it as they slowly walked to the wolf's cage. Vivian was right behind them once they got to the wolf's cage and opened the door for them being careful in case one of the wolves inside of the cage attacked.
Heba had noticed the cage door opening letting the humans enter caring a cage with the new arrivals in them asleep.
"Hey guys come check this out," Joey barked as he watched the humans set the cage down and got the arrivals on the floor of the wolf's cage. Seto, Marik, Heba, and Atemu watched preparing to attack if their mates were put in harm. The humans left with the now empty cage as they slowly walked up to the Bakura and Yugi and gently sniffed their fur.
"Hey guys…"Yami said horrified as he smelled Yugi first.
"What is it Yami?" Heba asked now worried as he watched Yami's eyes go wide and Malik walk up to Yugi and sniff his fur. Malik answered the question.
"This wolf has the scent of milk on his fur," Everyone's eyes went wide in horror as they noticed the two had no pups with them.
"Wha-what happened to the-their pups?" Ryou asked stumbling over his words as he indeed smelled milk as well on Yugi's fur.
"They died at birth," All the wolves awake spun around to see Bakura gently getting up and walk over to his mate laying down next to Yugi. Bakura closed his eyes and avoided the other's gazes of sympathy and turned his head away.
"If you don't mind me asking how did they die at birth?" Seto said bravely a bit worried about how Bakura would react to the question.
"…Hunters…It's always hunters and their damned ways," Bakura answered the question with such venom that Malik, Joey, Ryou, and Yami back away behind their respectful mates.
Atemu glared at Bakura not liking the attitude the other gave off and Seto seemed to notice as well for he had a growl going softly in the back of his throat, "What is your name, or do you just want us to keep calling you Silver One?" Atemu smirked as Bakura growled at stupid nickname they had given him.
"My name is Bakura and this," Bakura's tail flicked to his sleeping mate, "is Yugi,"
Me: Well that was a little hard to write.
Bakura: (glares at poor little me) that's cause you had writer's block half way through it you moron.
Me: Hey I'm not a moron! Keep it up Kura and I might just kill off yugi!
Bakura: You wouldn't….(glares daggers)
Yugi: Fate owns nothing but the plot line please review, if you want this story to continue! All we need is one review saying we should continue!
