Summary: For years, Yami wondered where he belonged in the world. He was the outcast, the loner, the sociopath anything but good in the eyes of those around him. He was feared by his classmates because it was said that he murdered his parents when he was 13. But it was a lie...it wasn't him but in fact a horrible, bloodthirsty monster. Poor Yami was just at the wrong place at the wrong time. He didn't understand what was happening to him or why his life was filled with such dread and violence...until he turned 18. Things changed….HE changed…

Yugi Mutou; strong, beautiful, and independent. But don't let his calm demeanor fool you. From a young age, he was exposed to a world of blood and violence. He just couldn't get a break from it all. He didn't fit in well with his 'family', school, or anywhere for that matter. He was in between being supernatural and human...forever stuck that way. He blocked people out that cared for him and struck fear into the hearts of those who dared to get close. His heart was colder than ice and as thick as steel, completely impenetrable...until he met HIM.

Hi guys! So, this is going to be my new story! Since I received such positive reviews for my first fic, Accidentally in Love, I was inspired to start this new one on my own channel, independent of Yumi. I hope you all enjoy this fic and please do review/ favorite/ follow! THANK YOU!

YAMI

Blood. Blood everywhere. It stained the hands of a once innocent boy. His hands trembled in fear and shock. He felt as though the very ground was caving from beneath him and there was no one to keep him from falling because the only people that could...were dead.

He heard the sound of sirens nearby but he ignored hit. Inside, his heart was breaking and he felt like he'd lost everything. The boy was completely oblivious to his surroundings and was unaware when two police grabbed him by his arms and dragged him away. He didn't fight because he was much too weak from the pain.

Something inside him changed that night. The happiness he once knew was long gone. It was as if his very life was drained from his body, leaving a hollow shell of boy he once was.

5 YEARS LATER….

Yami groaned as he sat up in bed, stretching his arms out over his head. His face scrunched up as he let out a big, tired yawn. The early morning sun spilled into his room through a small gap between the curtains, casting a cold, silvery light in the corner of the room. As usual, it was a dull gray morning, just like any other day in Domino.

With a heavy sigh, he swung his feet out from the sheets to the side of the bed and got out, tugging his long, gray sweatshirt over his head. The cold August air made his skin tingle as he made his way to the bathroom. He took a quick shower, brushed his teeth, hair, and yanked on a black shirt, jeans, and his favorite black leather jacket.

He then jogged downstairs, snatching his backpack at the bottom of the staircase, and proceeded to grab an apple from the fridge. He didn't eat much.

Taking his time, he pulled on his black sneakers and dug his keys out from his pocket to lock up the house.

Parked in the back of his house, was his parent's black Bentley Continental GT-S. He loved the car but at the same time despised it because it made him stand out so much. His parents were rich so of course they could afford things like this. His parents….it had been five years since his parents' death. In those five years, he was lonely, introverted, and distant. The town that once knew a happy, bouncing little boy, now knew him as a cold, disturbed child. They turned on him in an instant when it was broadcasted that his parents had been murdered. Everyone thought it was him.

Though, he was not prosecuted for it due to his age and because there was no real evidence that claimed he was the one who committed the heinous act. Still, people weren't convinced. They believed it was him. Stupid people, right?

He laughed bitterly to himself. If only they knew… They didn't know him, didn't bother. They just assumed things. It didn't bother Yami so much that they town thought he was a sociopath but rather that they thought HE killed his OWN parents. Anyone who knew the Sennens knew that they were a very loving family and that Yami loved his parents more than anything in the world. But he could not explain what happened that night because no one would believe him anyone.

It was a short fifteen minute drive to his local high school, Domino High, home of the Timber Wolves. No matter how many years passed, he still cringed at the very thought of wolves. If someone mentioned that damned word, his insides would tighten and his blood would run cold as memories flashed in his mind. To say he was disturbed was not far off but he was not a killer.

As he got out of his car, all eyes were on him. He could faintly hear the whispers of his fellow classmates as he made his way through the parking lot and through the hallways. It was a normal day like any other. People talked shit about him and spread even more ridiculous rumors.

"Did you hear Sennen joined a gang? Heard that he's so vicious even the gang leader doesn't want to fuck with him." One boy said to another.

Yami kept walking.

"I heard he goes out at night and attacks innocent women. What a monster!"

Ignore them, Yami. Just ignore them… He told himself. What his classmates said shouldn't have bothered him but he could help but feel a little offended with what people were saying. He was not in a gang and he did not go out at night taking advantage of young women. All that was just bullshit but still, he said nothing because saying something meant more rumors people could spread. Instead, he remained quiet and pretended not to hear.

Shaking his head, he walked into his English class. His favorite subject. But the avoid the looks from his classmates, he sat at the very back corner of the class next to the big glass window facing the forest. He half expected the same monster that killed his parents to come tearing through the forest and then come after him next. And so he turned his attention back to the front of the class.

The bell rang as a flood of students hurried into the room to take their seats for roll call. As the teacher began to take role, a boy walked into the classroom. "Ms. Lin stopped and gestured for the boy to come in. "Hello, dear. Oh! You must be the new student, Yugi Mutou, am I correct?"

He nodded. "Yes."

"Right. Class, I'd like all of you to welcome Yugi Mutou. Please treat him with respect and kindness. Now, I'm sorry, dear but the only seat available is next to Yami Sennen."

At that moment, their eyes locked on each other. Yugi's brows furrowed in confusion. He looked away from Yami, making him slightly irritated for some reason. Yugi nodded and walked toward Yami, avoiding his gaze. He pulled out the chair next to him and sat down rather reluctantly. Yami looked over at him, studying him from head to toe.

Yugi wore a white button down, black hoodie, jeans, a pair of beaten up combat boots, and black fingerless gloves. His hair was identical to Yami, except his hair was tinted with violet whereas Yami's was crimson. His skin was absolutely flawless and had a gentle glow to it. It was needless to say that the the boy was beautiful.

Yami's heart nearly lurched out of his chest when Yugi whipped his head to face him, his eyes cold, and dark, sending shivers down his spine. "What are you staring at, Sennen?" He whispered furiously.

"Nothing."

Yami turned away from him but kept an eye on his through his peripheral vision. He noticed how stiff Yugi's body was and how he seemed to shy away from him. His eyes fell upon the latter hands, which were clenched into tight fists.

Yami shrugged inwardly and turned his attention back to the teacher. There was no point in trying to make friends with someone who was obviously very hostile towards you.

YUGI

Yugi Mutou was not one to get along well with others. As a child, he had no friends or family. His parents abandoned him and left him on the doorstep of an orphanage.

He was...different from the rest of the children there. He could do things others couldn't and that automatically made him a freak. The other children resented him and bullied him for being different but he did nothing but take those insults and huddle himself into a little corner, all alone.

As time went on, the other children got adopted, leaving him on his own with the caretaker. For years, he spent time alone until that age of ten. A young woman came to the orphanage. She was very interested in Yugi. For some reason, it was as if she knew him.

She was kind to him and took him in. And it was on that day his life changed forever. She explained to him why he was the way he was and that she was just like him. Yugi was take into a large family...or pack, rather, of others like him.

For once, Yugi felt happy having a family. They treated him kindly and as their equals. He was happy to call them family. He admired his adpoter most. Mai Valentine and her husband Valon.

They were the alphas of the pack and kept everything in line...until one fateful day…

Yugi was playing in the forest, catching the snowflakes as they fell gently from the sky. He was completely unaware of the blood red eyes peering at him through the trees. Suddenly, Mai and Valon came bounding through the forest, Valon snatching up Yugi in his arms.

"Wh-what's happening?" Yugi whimpered.

"Got to get you out of here. It's not safe. The Royals are looking for you."

He hid Yugi behind a large boulder as the Royals cornered them. Valon jumped right into action and Mai stayed back to protect Yugi.

"M-Mai...wh-what's happening?" Yugi clutched onto her shirt.

"It's okay, Yugi. You'll be okay. I-I need to help Valon, okay? Just stay here and stay hidden. I'll come back for you. Just stay."

Mai hugged Yugi tightly and squeezed his shoulders. Yugi shook his head frantically, begging her not to go. "Please...please don't leave me!"

"You're going to be okay. Just stay hidden. Understand? Come on. Be brave for me, Yugi."

Yugi nodded slowly and wiped his tears away. Mai pressed a tender kiss to his forehead and jumped out to fight off the Royals.

She crouched down and let out a low, warning growl. The fanged monsters hissed in return. "Stay away." She warned.

"Protecting the Half, are we? Give him to us. His blood will be most appetizing."

"Over my dead body."

"That can be arranged."

Yugi stayed crouched behind the boulder, trembling in fear as he hard vicious snarls, whimpers, and then the sound of something cracking. Soon, everything was quiet. He took a chance and peaked out from behind the rock and saw a large golden wolf lying on its side.

He gasped and ran over to it. Those familiar violet colored eyes were distant. Dead. Tears streamed down his face as he threw himself on the dead wolf. As he sobbed, the bloodsuckers came back, Valon's dead form in their hands as they smirked at the seemingly helpless boy. "Well, well, if it isn't the Halfling? You smell delicious. Your blood will be even more appetizing than these two." A tall pale man threw Valon next to Mai, both of them lying limp next to each other.

"VALON! MAI!" Yugi cried.

The bloodsuckers took a step forward and Yugi moved to stand in front of the two dead wolves, protectively. "S-stay back."

"Or what? Don't worry. It will all be over soon." Another spoke.

Yugi felt his blood boil as the killers advanced towards him. His body tingled and he felt a surge of power run through him. He lifted his head and let out a fierce growl. The vampires chuckled and went into a low crouching stance. Just as they were about to attack, giant rocks exploded from the ground, knocking the vampires back. Yugi gasped and looked down at his hands. His veins had become more prominent, and were now a dark purple.

Yugi took the oppotunity to escape the forest with Mai and Valon slung upon his shoulders.

That day, he lost the closest thing he ever had to a family. Mai was the oldest sister he never had. Sure, he had the rest of the pack but it wasn't the same. Mai had been the one to encourage him and keep him safe. But she was no longer there to guide him. And so he shut everyone out again, afraid of losing something else he cared most about.

Now, here he was eight years later, very well matured and grown up. Throughout the years, he watched his 'family members' change into what would seem as very terrifying monsters to a normal human but was relatively normal for Yugi at this point. Valon's brother, Seto was the head of the pack now. He ran everything smoothly and took care of everyone, Yugi especially.

Because Yugi was not a full wolf, he did not change. He only had little things here and there but that was it. He was forever stuck in betwee. A freak in both worlds.

Yugi sighed as he stared out of his bedroom window, peering into the forest just outside his house. He watched as a couple of wolves from the pack played around in at the edge of the wolves.

He sighed and turned away from the window and grabbed his backpack off his desk, heading downstairs to the den. His two friends Ryou and Malik were sitting in front of the TV watching some cooking show. "Well, I'm off to school now." He announced.

"Alright, have fun, Yugi!"

"Take care, Yug!"

They both called after him as he left the house. He was the only one among the pack to go to school. The others couldn't afford to because of the risk of exposing themselves and changing if something triggered the change.

He on the other hand, had no problem with it because he couldn't change or at least...not much. The only thing that would give him away was his eyes. They changed color according to his emotions and he'd sprout fangs. His veins would dark and show more beneath his pale, light skin. They were things he could hide however. He didn't actually change into a giant wolf. Not like his 'family'.

With a small sigh, he hopped onto his motorcycle and went on his way to school. He was the new boy at school which meant all eyes would be on him. It made him all the more self-conscious. He once went to Domino Prep but he got kicked out due to some...issues with the other students. Needless to say, Yugi was a bit temperamental

As he pulled into the school, he heard the whispers of students as he passed them by. He was slightly annoyed with the way half of the female and a handful of the male population talked about him. Tch, as if I'd waste any of my time on these humans.

He shook his head and walked into the school. As he did, he picked up on something. A scent. It smelled of wolf, wild, fresh, and musky like the forest floor. His brows scrunched together, A wolf? Here?

He decided to ignore it and went into the office. Behind the counter was an elderly lady with short, curly hair. Yugi cleared his throat as he approached the counter. "What can I do for you, hun?" She asked kindly.

"I'm the new transfer student. I'm here to pick up my class schedule ad other documents."

"Ah, right. Yugi Mutou, am I right?"

"That's me."

Yugi nodded as the woman pushed her rolly office chair back, digging through a bunch of files stuffed into a cabinent. "Ah, here it is. This is your schedule for the school year and also the requirements for graduation."

The woman handed two papers to Yugi. He skimmed it over with much disinterest, "Thank you, ma'am."

"Anytime. Now, I also attached your locker assignment and a map of the school just in case you get lost. If you have any questions, please feel free to stop by."

"Thanks. I'll just be going then."

Yugi smiled slightly and left the office. He stopped when he picked up on the same scent from earlier. The scent was powerful and very fresh. A new wolf…? On the brink of changing…. He reasoned.

He continued on his way to English, his favorite subject. As he walkde on, the smell grew stronger. He frowned and took a deep breath, his eyes closing as he concentrated on the scent. He picked up on every heart beat, every scent, and every word spoken by the students.

Yugi tried to focus on where the scent was coming from but before he could figure it out, someone broke his concentration.

"What the hell? Why are you just standing in the middle of the hallway, dweeb!" A high pitched voice came from behind him.

Yugi turned around and arched a brow, "Excuse me?"

"Are you deaf? Get out of the way!"

"Who are you to tell me what to do?"

"Bitch, do you know who I am?"

"Should I?"

Yugi couldn't help but be mildly entertained by the girl in a tight, revealing cheerleader outfit. The girl was a good head taller than him but was no wear near as toned as Yugi was. "Bitch, I am Vivian Wong! My father is the principal!"

"Your point? Look, I'm late for class. But I'll catch you later, Genevieve. "Yugi smirked and walked away.

"It's Vivian!"

Yugi flashed a peace sign as he walked to his classroom. He stepped inside cautiously, the scent becoming a bit stronger. "Hello, dear! Oh! You must be the new student. Yugi Mutou, am I correct?" The teacher greeted him.

"That's right."

"Rightl. Class, I'd like you all to meet out new student Yugi Mutou. Please treat him with respect and kindness. Now, I'm sorry, dear, but the only seat available we have is next to Yami Sennen."

Yami Sennen…? Sennen… Yugi looked at the boy, his scent hitting him like a bulldozer. He absolutely reeked of wolf. Definitely fresh.

With a sigh, he made his way to his seat, feeling his body tense with every step he took. Even though the boy was probably still in the changing stage, he couldn't deny the amount of power radiating from the boy.

He couldn't help but glare at him. The boy was a wolf...one not of his pack. It was instinct to be territorial over lands. His pack ruled these lands with the exception of the Rogues. The boy, Yami, glared right back. Yugi growled inwardly. Was he challening him? "What are you staring at, Sennen?"

"Nothing."

Yugi looked away, feeling himself start to slip up. He looked down at his hands and saw how his veins had turned a dark purple. Shit…. He closed his eyes, trying to calm himself down. He exhaled audibly, and pushed the animal inside him down, the animal that could never be freed.
