Chapter 7

Darien was dreaming. He was on a clearing, running and laughing. He was running as fast as he could. He was still a puppy, there was no doubt that one day Darien would be the fastest wolf in the pack that he grew up and as strong as his father. There was also no a question either, that he would be the next Alpha after his father. He was already strong and brave.

'Darien!' someone yelled out from behind him. 'I thought you could run faster than this!' The gently voice said jokingly and he could only see a silver-whirl as she ran past him.

He smirked and ran after her. In a mere second he caught up with the small girl and pushed her gently to the ground. The two puppies burst out laughing as they trundled on to the ground. Darien was watching her as she tried to catch her breath beneath him. He smiled at her gently and nuzzled her fur on her neck; he licked the side of her neck. It was strange but he felt the urgent need to bite her neck, but why? The girl interrupted his thought as she laughed out.

'I have to go, I am sure, mom is already worried.' she chuckled and as he took a step behind, she stood up and shook her poor silver fur.

'Why don't you join our pack?' Darien pouted. He didn't want to let her go.

'We have our own pack. Sure it is not as big as yours, but still.' She answered.

'It doesn't matter. Once we are older, the two packs will join anyway.' He said sighing.

'What do you mean?' She blinked curiously.

'You are the daughter of the Alpha right?' She nodded. 'Well once I am older, I will be the Alpha in out pack and you are going to be my mate! So the two packs have to join eventually.' Darien answered proudly.

'How do you know, you will be the next Alpha?' She asked.

'I know I will be.' He nodded seriously and a bit hurt that she had doubts about it.

'And... How do you know I will be your mate?' She asked, saying the word 'mate' quietly. She wasn't old enough to fully understand the meaning of the word, but she knew it was very important, something special.

'I know, you are! We have only met for a few times, but I know it! I... I can feel it.' Darien said firmly.

Her eyes lit up with happiness. 'I love you too!' She said with childish honesty. 'But I really have to go now!' she nuzzled his neck with her head and ran away.

Darien stared after her for a few minutes then he turned around sighing. 'I forgot to ask her what her packs name was. And she didn't know what the name of my pack is... Well maybe next time.' he sighed and ran back to his pack.

---

Darien woke up panting. He could remember every detail of his dream clearly... Was it a dream or a flashback? He could still feel her fur against his body; he could hear her laugh... True to be told, he didn't remember much about his childhood... he had very few memories about the time when he was younger than 9 years old and before that strange sickness. Could this be a memory from that time? He glanced at Serenity, who was sleeping next to him peacefully. Pure silver fur. The girl in his dream had pure silver fur.

"Darien, can it be that... that we have met before? When we were little?"

Serenity's question echoed in his mind. Could it be? He shook her head. 'I am seeing things. Too much has happened all at once...' he thought and sighed. It was dawn already, there was no way he could fall asleep again. He put his hand behind her head lazily and stared out the window. It was almost full moon. They couldn't wait any longer... they had to go back to the pack. Glancing at the sleeping girl again, he smiled gently. He wouldn't be alone during full moons anymore. Sighing he buried his face in her neck, wrapped his arms around her waist and closed his eyes.

---

Serenity opened her eyes smiling. She woke up with the feeling of soft lips kissing her neck making her whole body trembling. She could smell his scent and feel his hands stroking her stomach. When his lips reached the bite-mark on her neck, she sighed in pleasure and pushed her back against his chest.

"Good morning." Daren whispered in her ears then rolling her on her back, he captured her lips in a sweet and hungry kiss.

Serenity closed her eyes and moaned in the kiss. His hands were everywhere and nowhere at once and she could only focus on the kiss. Dimly, she could remember that the straps of her nightdress were slipping down, but she couldn't care less at the moment.

Darien kissed her lips until they turned ruby-red and swollen from his kisses. When he pulled away, he smiled at her proudly. Serenity was panting heavily, her eyes were half-closed and her hair was in a mess. Slowly, he kissed down on her neck until he reached the bite-mark. There he began to kiss, lick and suck the sensitive skin. Her small moans and sighs were music to his eyes. He already slipped the straps of her nightdress down, and now he pulled it down, uncovering her perfect breasts. He slowly kissed her shoulders, and the vale between her breasts, earning a moan from her. Darien could feel the desire taking control on his body and he hungrily kissed her breast. He slid his arm around her back arching her further into his waiting mouth.

Suddenly someone knocked on the door. "Darien, can I come in?" Jedite asked from behind the door.

Darien tensed and swear quietly. Kissing her lips one more time, he slipped out of the bed while Serenity put her nightdress on quickly. Darien made sure her body was perfectly covered only after that did he make his way to the door.

"What?" He snapped at the stunned Jedite, his eyes were glowing with displeasure. Jedite gulped and took a step back nervously.

"I didn't mean to batter you, but... We have to go and talk with Andrew. If you want to go back to the pack today, we have to talk with him soon."

Darien nodded. "Go and eat breakfast, we will join you shortly." He answered shortly and shot the door.

Jedite shook his head smiling. His timing wasn't the best it seemed. At least he wasn't a fool and didn't open the door without knocking. Sighing he turned on his heels. Those two couldn't keep their hands off of each other it seemed.

Serenity was eating and chatting with the girls happily. Darien and his friends left earlier to talk with this Andrew guy. Mina said that he was a close friend of Darien, a human, who knew about their secret. When Darien and the others had to go back to the pack, he managed the business in the city and now that Darien bought this house, he would watch over it, while they were in the forest with the others.

At first, Serenity was a bit worried that Beryl and Ann would try something again, but once Darien left, the two women stood up as well and left without a word.

Soon after that, the girls went to pack their things and Serenity changed into her wolf-form and ran out to the garden. She was running around the garden enjoying being a wolf. She loved to be a wolf and she wanted to try out everything! The fact that they would return to the other half of the pack today made her nervous but it gave her strength too. She wanted to prove them that she was a true were-wolf, and she had a place in the pack. Running, smelling, hearing weren't a problem anymore; she only had to learn how to communicate with the others.

Suddenly she cocked her ears and sniffed. She could smell someone's scent... a human... There was a human nearby! Serenity's body tensed and she made a few steps forward... Whatever this human was up to, she had to protect the pack! She was sure Darien wouldn't be glad if he had known she was following the scent alone, but she couldn't just run away! What if the human meant danger? What if he was a hunter? She shook her head. Maybe she was watching too many movies. However, if were-wolves were real, how could she know if there weren't any vampires or ghosts or hunters?

When she was near to the gate, suddenly she stopped. She could hear the human walking towards the door. Carefully she took another step forward however, she wasn't as careful as she had thought. A twig creaked under her paw and her body froze in fear. There was silence for a while then the steps came closer and closer.

She took a few steps back but her eyes went wide when she heard a familiar voice.

"Is someone here?"

'Molly?!' Serenity thought surprised.

A few moments later, she could see her friend turning the corner of the house.

She didn't know what to do, there were so many questions running through her head. What was Molly doing here? How did she find this place? She had to get away from here! If she could run into the house quickly, she could change and greet her friend in her human-form. Yes, that was a good idea! Turning on her heels quickly, she ran toward the garden again, but suddenly, she found herself on the ground. Her hinder-legs were caught in a trap and a rope held her legs tightly. Why were there traps around the house anyway? However, she didn't have time to think about it long. Molly was hurrying toward her.

"Oh my God, are you hurt?"

Serenity looked up at her surprised.

"Don't be afraid! I will help you." Molly said gently and took a step closer to her.

"I have no idea how a wolf like you could have gotten here. You must be lost. Don't be afraid of me, I only want to help you." Molly added.

Serenity looked at her surprised. She had never thought her friend was so brave. Molly didn't seem to be afraid of her at all. Serenity knew she couldn't free herself on her own, so there was no other choice, but to let Molly help her. Once she helped her, she could run back into the house and change. Yes, that was a good plan. She laid down on the ground and looked at Molly as gently and trusting as she could.

Molly chuckled. "Good wolf. You know, I am looking for my friend. She went lost for 2 days now. She went to this company, D&D, for an interview and I have never heard about her since then. I went to this company and they said she left with Darien Defounten. I found out, he lived here so I came here to find my friend. I hope he doesn't keep her prisoner." Molly blabbed and began to free her leg from the trap.

"I am so silly! Talking to a wolf." Molly laughed out nervously. "I am just really worried you know. In case he keeps her prisoner I bought this with me." She chuckled and took out a gas-spree from her bag.

That was the moment when all hell broke loose...

Serenity could smell Darien's scent and when she looked up, she saw him standing by the gate with his friends. His eyes were dark with anger and he didn't take his eyes off of Molly.

Serenity knew how misunderstanding their position was. Her legs were trapped in the rape, she was laying on the ground not being able to defend herself and Molly was standing beside her with a gas-spree in her hand. She got even more worried when she saw him change into his wolf-form and began to run towards them.

'No!!!' she cried out and tried to jump up, but the rope didn't let her.

Molly didn't notice the danger coming from behind her and pushed her back on the ground surprised. "Don't jump up, you may hurt yourself."

Darien's eyes went even darker when he saw Molly pushing her back on the ground. Serenity could feel his anger and she knew she had to do something before her friend was seriously injured because of this whole mess!

Darien saw red, as he was running towards the human. She wanted to hurt his mate! There was only one thing he could think about: DANGER. His mate was in danger and there was no way he would let a mere human hurt her! Growling dangerously, he ran with full speed toward the enemy. Once the human heard his growling, she turned around and her eyes widened immediately with fear.

'Darien!!! NO!!!!' He heard Serenity's voice in his mind. He blinked in surprise and slowed down. She could use the link?

'She is my friend!' Serenity cried out again. Darien jumped before Serenity and pushed the human away, growling at her with narrowed eyes.

Molly wanted to scream but no voice came out of her mouth. She backed away, her body was trembling with fear.

'Darien!' Serenity's fanatic voice echoed in his mind.

'What did she do with you?' He asked never taking his eyes off of Molly.

'She only wanted to help! She is my friend, Molly! She came here because she was worried about me! I wanted to run back to the house but I was caught in this trap. She only wanted to help.' Serenity explained quietly. It surprised her that she could use the link to communicate with him, but it wasn't the right time to think about it. She knew his self-control was hanging by a thread. If Molly had made a wrong step...

'But the gas-spree in her hand!'

'You misunderstood it! She took it with her against you actually.' Serenity sighed in relief when she saw his body relax a bit however; he still kept his eyes on Molly.

'Against me?' Darien asked surprised.

'Yes. I went lost for 2 days Darien. She found out I left with you and now she thinks you are keeping me prisoner.' Serenity said a small smile playing on her lips.

'Ridiculous.' Darien murmured.

'I know.' Serenity smiled.

'You were able to use the link?' Darien asked when Molly interrupted them.

"G-Good wolf... Just calm down. Look, there is a bunny over there! Go… go and catch it!" She said nodding toward the other direction desperately.

'What the-?' Darien stared at the girl stunned.

"You won't be able to trick him away." A new, deep voice said from behind Molly.

Serenity and Molly looked at the tall, blonde man curiously.

"My name is Andrew." He smiled.

"We-we have to make him go away... That-that other wolf needs help." Molly stuttered.

Andrew glanced toward Darien and Serenity for a second. "She is safe there. What is your name?"

"Molly... but... but..."

"Well, calm down Molly and tell me why you are here?" Andrew smiled at her gently.

"I... I was looking for my friend. She left with Darien Defounten 2 days ago and I haven't heard about her since then."

"Oh, I am a good friend of Darien, come I will let you in the house and you can wait for him there." He said and pushed her gently toward the house.

"But… I have to help the other wolf!" Molly protested and took a step closer to Darien and Serenity. Darien growled dangerously again the fur on his back stood up.

"He won't let you near her. Let them be." Andrew put his hand on her shoulder gently.

"I won't leave until the wolf is freed!" Molly said stubbornly.

Serenity sighed. What now? Darien wouldn't let her come near to them and Molly wouldn't leave until she is free. Suddenly Darien turned towards her and taking the rope between his teeth, he chewed it.

Molly was watching them with wide eyes. Once Serenity was free, Darien pushed her gently toward the garden and they disappeared between the bushes.

"He... He freed her!"

"I told you she was in no danger with him by her side." Andrew smiled. "Dari- I mean the big black wolf is very protective over her it seems." He added.

"You think they were a couple? It was so romantic!" Molly sighed. She already forgot about her fear and the danger she was facing only a minute ago.

"I am sure they are." Andrew nodded and they walked toward the house.

"Maybe they even have puppies!" Molly's eyes were shining and Andrew burst out laughing.

"I don't think so. It would be a bit too soon, but I don't think we have to wait long for that."

"What?" Molly blinked confused.

"Nothing. Come, I am sure Darien will arrive soon."

Andrew opened the door for Molly and they stepped into the big house.
