Harry Potter and the Wolves

Wake up Charles, I have work for you, at the first sound of Bran's voice in his head Charles was already out of bed and on the move. The tall enforcer of the Marrok's pack quickly got dressed and headed out the door to the woods behind his home. He knew it must be extremely important for his Alpha to wake him up so soon after having returned from his dealings with a rogue in Colorado, especially at such a late hour. Owing to the deep snow on the ground, it being late October in Montana, Charles decided to travel to his father's house as a wolf instead of opting for his truck. He roused Brother Wolf to help speed along the transformation.

Even though being a natural born Werewolf his transformation came quicker and more painless than others, he still needed the wolf's help after having used his form so often, so recently. He traveled quickly through the woods arriving in half the time it would have taken him by truck. He transformed again to his human form, his clothes flowing back over his formed as he walked in his father's back door. He wasn't sure where the clothes came from, but he suspected it had to do with the Salish magic from his mother, and his own rather large sense of decency.

Knowing that Leah would be up, with Bran having called him, he tread very softly. He wanted to avoid any fights with his Father's Mate if he could avoid it. He found his way back to the study where Bran was waiting for him, hunched, irately over several maps and papers on an old wooden writer's desk. He waited for the other man to speak first, not wanting to cause the already upset Alpha anymore undo stress. He casually looked at the maps scattered across the desk and found it odd that none of them were of the states but rather of the United Kingdom. Bran spoke, breaking Charles from his contemplation.

"I'm regrettably going to send you out again so soon after having just returned. It would seem we have another rogue threatening to let the world know of our existence yet again. I'm going to need you to start packing for international for this particular assignment."

"Yes Da," Charles replied, "but isn't that the Beast's territory, why are we the ones who have to take care of this particular rogue?"

Bran sighed, "It seems that the wolves that had been sent to deal with it weren't dominant enough not to be destroyed by this particular wolf, and it was found out it was turned by that rogue in Colorado you just dealt with."

"That seems clear enough, sir but what will Chastel claim when I invade his territory?" Charles quickly asked.

"It would seem he is claiming it is not in his direct territory so that isn't a problem. He just wants us to clean up this mess. Here is what I managed to get from Chastel about the rogue's whereabouts, you are allowed to deal with this problem and any surrounding issues in anyway you see fit."

Charles took the papers from his father; "I'll be in the air within the hour. One other thing Da, have you made a decision on us revealing ourselves yet?" Charles asked, for which he received another sigh from his father who pinched the bridge of his nose.

"Not yet, and I'll wait till we get this headache out of the way before I start on a new one, and that particular one is quite far down on the lists of headaches currently."

Charles nodded and headed for the door, only stopping for a second and sparing a glance at his Da, who looked as if he were living all his centuries of age right at that moment. He let himself out as quietly as he had entered, changed, and headed for the airstrip, and off for the UK.

A/N: Thanks in advance for any and all of you who read this. I hope I managed to catch your interest and made you hungry for more. This is my first attempt at writing something that wasn't required for a class and any suggestions and criticisms are welcome and appreciated. I'm still experimenting with formats to find one that's easy to read and I like, so bear with me.

Technical Notes: I made it when Bran speaks telepathically Italics and Bold so it was easier to identify

Next Chapter: In which two tragedies occur to two very young boys.
