THANKS AGAIN TO THOSE FOLLOWING AND MY BETA

EIGHT YEAR LATER

AKA DRACO IS NOW AGED 15 AND IT IS HIS 16TH BIRTHDAY

HARRY IS NOW AGED 14 GOING TO BE 15

DRACO POV:

It was the day before my 16th birthday, the most important day in a Dominants life; except for of course their mates 16th birthday, where they would discover that they are to be mates for life. Draco was sitting on his window seat that looked out onto the woods that surrounded the village of his father's pack and allowed him to study the woods for signs of danger or ways of expanding their village as the pack grew bigger with every generation.

As these thoughts ran through Draco's head; his mind also started to fantasize about who his mate might be. Though his mate could be either male or female, Draco knew that his mate would be a male; as he found himself to be gay after an experience between himself and Blaise a few years ago. This lead to Draco thinking about who his mate could be, they had to be a year younger them him, which did not lower the statistics that much, as there was only a few children in the pack that where his age. They where Blaise, Ron, Neville and Vincent; all who would also be Dominants trying to find their mates.

Draco prayed that who he thought was his mate would indeed be his mate, as he was unsure if he could suddenly stop loving this person for his mate. At that moment, his father and Papa walked into his room. Draco looked them both together, seemingly to be a perfect match; Lucius tucked under Fenrir's arm both with a smile on their face looking at their son. Draco always thought that he looked like his papa as they both had pale skin and blonde hair; but Draco had his silver eyes from Fenrir, which Fenrir always said that it was a blessing from the moon as a sign that it would protect Draco and his mate.

"How are you Draco?" Lucius asked while sitting down on Draco's bed, looking at his son and picturing him the next morning; taller, a bigger build and become more handsome then he already was. Well, so Lucius thought.

"I am as I should feel. Nervous, scared, excited and worried. Is it wrong to want someone to be my mate? Or will I be punished for wanting this?" Draco asked, looking worriedly to his Papa.

"No. It is natural for you to think as someone as a mate already, you have grown up with these people for 16 years Draco. It's okay for you to have an ideal of who this person might be in your head." Fenrir answered moving to sit with Lucius on the bed as well.

"I bet I know who Draco is hoping to be his mate." Lucius said in a sing-song voice; grinning more as Draco blushed from his father's look and voice.

"Don't worry Draco." Fenrir said, taking hold of Lucius' hand as he spoke next, "You will always end up with the person who is perfect for you. Even if you never thought they would be."

"So you didn't think that father would be your mate Pap?" Draco answered, knowing that it would take the attention off him.

"Yes Fenrir. What exactly did you think of me before I was your mate?" Lucius asked; danger etched into every syllable; hoping that just the look would cause Fenrir to writher in pain for insulting him.

"It's nearly midnight." Stated Fenrir quickly, standing off the bed and pulling Lucius with him, "We should leave Draco and sleep. Good night Draco, everything will go as planned." Fenrir said, seeing the worry in Draco's eyes.

Draco could still hear his parents arguing as they moved towards their own bedroom; where the constant silent charm made sure that Draco would hear nothing from his parent's room that could scare him for life.

After sitting on his window seat for a little while longer Draco stood, took off his clothes and slipped under the covers of his bed waiting for sleep to take him before the change started.

MIDNIGHT

Draco awoke when he heard the clock strike twelve; knowing that his change will start soon. On the final strike of the clock, white hot pain shot up Draco's back that caused his let out a silent scream into the night. The pain spread from his spine to every part of his body, the white hot pain acting like a fire inside of his nerves and veins.

Draco prayed that he would pass out from the pain of the change; but he knew that the longer he stayed awake made would make him a stronger leader of the pack later. After about an hour of the pain shooting up and down his body, Draco final had a brief relief from the pain when he passed out.

Draco found himself in an empty area of the woods that he had been looking at before he went to sleep. There was a small lake that had soft grass lining it, making it appear to be a good area to rest after a nice swim. The trees surrounding the area and the lake gave a secure and safe feeling; which made Draco relax a little as he glanced around for his mate in the area.

A little noise from near the lake caused Draco to make a beeline towards the noise; searching all the while for anything that could have hurt his precious mate. Running towards the small cries of his mate Draco could the back of his mates head; smiling as he got closer to this person, knowing that only one person could have that untameable black hair.

"HARRY! Are you okay? Who hurt you? Where are they?" Draco spoke quickly, his head turning left and right but also trying to stay focused on his little mate.

"I'm fine Dominant. I just tripped on a branch and fell." Harry spoke so quietly, looking shyly up at Draco. His emerald eyes sparkling so brightly, Draco thought that they could have been stars.

"Harry." Draco pulled his sub to him, holding him close to his chest to keep him warm and protected. "I love you Harry. I will always be there to protect you. I will win you over so that next year you will become mine forever." Draco kept his hold on Harry, knowing that the real Harry will not remember any of this due to him being a submissive.

The rest of Draco's dream went by with him holding Harry to his chest, wanting to keep the feeling of Harry's body against his ingrained into his memory; Draco burying his head into Harry's hair, to ensure that the earthy smell of Harry would stay with him as a comfort of what is promised in the future.

When Draco awoke the next morning, he followed his normal morning rituals before going to see that changed in his body from the night before. As he walked into his bathroom, he saw that he had grown around 4 inches which made him now 6ft 4inches. His hair had grown a little so that it now rested just at ear length, his body had become broader and he felt stronger.

Smiling at himself, he stripped and headed into his shower; ready to start wooing his beautiful mate Harry Potter Black.
