Night
That night in the main hut where Greyback resided was the best sleep he had in over two weeks. He just wished it would have lasted. The next morning he was met with a pair of glittering emeralds. He along with Greyback and Harry slept in a huge pile of furs the night before.
To exhausted he had lain down where he was and slept. Now that it was morning he got a better feel of the place. It was large and roomy. It had an actual fireplace next to the back wall. Furs and chairs littered the spacious place along with two tables. The roof was thatched yet warmth retained within the dwelling. But the more pressing issue was Harry staring at him like that, and needing to pee badly.
Getting up he noted the Alpha wasn't there, looking around he found a side door leading to an actual bathroom. No more peeing by the trees. Once done he stood wondering what was next. Fingering the mark on his arm he saw Harry zero in on his action.
"Are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Snapped Harry as the man got up. A little startled by the others reply Naruto looked at the other more closely. Smelling green tea and mint Naruto tried to figure out what his problem was. There were some bruises along his arms and shoulders.
The bite on his neck looked redder, but no scent. No smell of coupling or sex lingered. He had assumed Harry and Greyback had sex last night but now he wasn't so sure.
'Lower class trying to dominate us.' The wolf growled.
"Back down." Naruto said trying to reason with this man and wolf. If they had to live here for now than he would hope they could be friends, it made for a better chance at escaping.
He was also at a disadvantage with his cub. Snarling Harry stalked out the door, easing the thick tension that had sprung up. Groaning in frustration he went out through the main door of the hut. Harry was acting strange again, he just didn't know why and he had a feeling it was more than what his wolf was sprouting about.
Outside everyone was already busy with their morning duties. Not wanting to laze around Naruto went out, keeping in mind where the borders were in the encampment and when the scouts came back from the boundary line. Any information about a possible escape was useful. Chris was too busy this morning Naruto could already tell.
The Omega was by the fire pit cleaning out the coals. He didn't see Penelope nor did he know where his Alpha went. Watching several younger Subordinates making their way with laundry he decided to tag along, hanging a ways back from the main group.
He didn't much care for doing laundry, but he learned from an early age that no one else would do it for him. And it was the perfect time to listen in on the gossip. As an added bonus he spotted one of the other Submissive's friends.
Now what was her name, "Hermione." Looking startled the young woman, who was outside of the main bunched up group, looked back to him.
"Naruto." Smiling she fell back to step in with his lazy stride. A few heads turned keeping a watch on them.
"Aniu are you sure you want to be following us?" One woman even inquired.
Her eyes were down cast and looking away from his figure. Not liking the feeling of being treated this way he unintentionally sharpened his voice. "The Alpha gave me permission to help out." Even though Greyback gave no such permission. Looking back towards Hermione he let his feet lead him to the washing stream.
"How are you. I didn't see you yesterday." He blurted out, eye twitching he ran a hand through his hair. That wasn't what he had wanted to ask.
"Oh well I'm hanging in there. I sleep with the other young females in this one hut." Nodding Naruto shifted his torso leaning closer to her ear.
"How are you really? Have you had any progress." Jerking her head to face him, she quickly looked back at the main group.
"Progress is in the eyes of the beholder, as for how I am, I'm fine." Narrowing his eyes Naruto tried to analyze her speech. They were nearing the stream. The washing area was set up with three main watering holes that had been blocked off from the main stream by water logs. Creating circles near the shoreline.
Grabbing several clothes he quickly dropped them in the circle copying what everyone else was doing.
"You have to use the soap." Glancing up Hermione smiled and handed over a small rectangle brown bar. It smelt of cotton wood and grass.
"This is soap?" Laughing she nodded rubbing the bar up and down the fabric. Leaning down he scrubbed, somewhat irritated that just this activity was making him fatigued.
"Where's Ron?" Stopping Hermione grabbed another cloth. "Ron is being punished."
"What did he do?" "He made a comment about Greyback and got into a fight, was locked inside a hut with no food. I told him to play along and lay low, but that stubborn fool doesn't know when to quit." Smiling Naruto watched the other nearby pack.
"He sounds a lot like how I was." Looking back at Hermione he rubbed at his brow. "You know brash and headstrong."
Laughing Hermione nodded, "Yes he is that indeed, but Harry's the headstrong one in the group I'm afraid." Not wanting to bring up Harry Naruto tried to think about what else he needed to know.
"What do you know about Fenrir Greyback." He wanted to know more about the man, who was he, besides being the Alpha.
"Oh, well I only know what the books and rumors have reported on him. He's one of the most savage werewolves out there; he loves to prey on children. It was said that he would wait nearby from his chosen victims and bite them, killing anyone in his way. Reportedly he wanted to create a large mass of werewolves to overtake the magical world." With each damning evidence piling up Naruto began to wonder just who was this Fenrir Greyback.
Was he the man from last night or this savage beast Hermione painted him out to be. Looking down the line of washers he spotted an older male slip in the water.
The younger of the two by him helped him up and took his clothes. So they respected their elders, and helped out when needed. These things were normal, everyday occurrences; they weren't monsters preying on each other's weaknesses. They treated everyone like an extended family. Like comrades in arms.
"Have you heard anything about this Hunter Alliance?" Naruto let slip his thoughts out. Pausing Hermione blinked a few times before dragging a hand through her brown curly hair.
"I have heard a little about it." She glanced over at the other workers. Lowering her voice she went on, eyes studying the pattern of the shirt she had soaped up.
"The Hunter Alliance here for an example is completely different from anywhere else. For one there are nine leaders of different backgrounds and creature blood. They hold council on all the magical beings in the Wizarding World. The wizards and witches really don't have anything to do with them. Oh we work towards the same goals usually but we also stand apart from them." Waiting for more he was disappointed when she stopped.
The others had slowed in their movements indicating that had been listening. Frowning he tried another tactic.
"Do you know a man by the name of MacNair?" Pausing to a slow shuffle Hermione looked at Naruto gauging his face. "I can't say that I knew him personally only what the papers had said." Naruto nodded looking down at the cloth in his hands. She was lying, but why? Trying a different approach he went on.
"Can you tell me a little bit more about this Wizarding World?" Brightening up Hermione launched into a lecturing tone, drowning out the slow moving water and splashes. Apparently there was a school that taught young people how to become wizards and witches. Taught them magic.
It sounded a lot like the ninja academy back home. "But now that I'm infected with the werewolf curse I can't use magic neither of us can." Looking at her slumped form, he had to question her. Hadn't Harry used his natural energy.
"What do you mean didn't Harry use his?" Signing she stopped her work looking out through the trees on the opposite side of their bank. "In the notes it states quite clearly that once a person is bit by a transformed werewolf, than they too will suffer that curse and lose their magic in the process. But mine and Ron's are locked. And until I find a cure we will be unable to..."
No that was wrong; Harry quite literally used his magic that night when they escaped. Did she not remember, or...
"There is no cure." A young man said further down the washing line. His voice was rough and sharp. "How do you know? Remus Lupin was looking for it." Hermione retorted. Snorting the man looked up from his soap bar, getting up and walking towards them. "Aniu you scrub it like this." Snapping his head around, he focused on this new stranger.
"See you hold the ends and rub the soap in reverse like so." Looking at Hermione he helped the blonde wash his share of fabric.
"My name is Trevor, I went to Durmstrang."
"Naruto. What do you mean no cure." Trevor scooped up his washed clothes. "That's what I said, there is no known cure. And anyone who says otherwise is just chasing lies."
"But Remus had said he might have stumbled across such a thing. If we found a cure, think of what it would mean." The man looked up. "Freedom, away from this harsh life of always having to look over your shoulders and not having normal people distrust you and mistreat you? Everyone feels like that in the beginning. It's the new change that scares them. Remus Lupin was bit by Fenrir Greyback when he was just a child. He was a few of many that did not die. He has been searching for a cure for over thirty years."
"But what about the wolfsbane. I saw it work."
"The poisonous wolfsbane he helped create is nothing more than a covered up lie. It slowly kills a man, taking that concoction."
Naruto sat back trying to follow. This Remus, who had been bitten by the Alpha had created a death serum?
"You have to face it sooner or later. That world out there?" Here he pointed in a general direction, his face going distant.
"That place is gone, the sooner you realize that the sooner you can start living your life here."
Walking back to the huts was a subdued one. Hermione was in deep thought, with her face half shadowed and jaw pinched shut. Naruto himself was beginning to understand where he was in regards to his future. But that didn't mean he was going down without at least trying.
He missed Hinata and everyone one else at the Leaf Village, but he was having trouble with the feelings of home. His friends' faces no longer caused him grief or anger; he just didn't feel as strongly as he would have.
The worst part, well the worst part was when he would dream about home. Leaf was never in those dreams.
Then there was that little overplay today by Hermione, she did know who he was talking about. She also blatantly lied about Harry, was it supposed to be a secret.
Maybe an ace in the hole of a future escape?
Night quickly overcame the encampment. His fatigue hadn't abated nor did it increase. He just found that he was tired a lot more lately. Which was to be expected or so the Healer had mentioned, or rather, yelled at him after she caught him helping out with tonight's diner.
Nan was once again back at his side eating the brace of rabbits the hunting party had killed. Hermione was with Trevor by the fire, Ron having been locked up as punishment still. And Harry, Harry sat by himself like Naruto, watching the fire.
Even smelling the smoke from the fire he could still detect when the Alpha arrived. 'Alpha home.' He was surprised when the huge man sat done right by him and was lifted. Squeaking rather unmanly he found himself seated on the Alpha's lap.
"Let go." Ginning the man grasped his chin, rising his head and neck before the Alpha. Nose inching up and down like a trail of army ants Greyback made a show of inhaling. "Alpha." Laughing the man stopped but wouldn't allow Naruto to budge from his seated position.
Nan wasn't any help; the hybrid just went back to gorging on his meal. Large callused hands ran up and down his full belly soothing his muscles.
"Don't think just because I wasn't here today that I didn't know about your little excursions." Shifting Naruto glanced at the Alpha, gauging his temper. "I'm not mad, every wolf here has a duty, but I want you staying off our feet. Werewolf cubs can be fragile little things."
"I'm not going to sit around all day doing nothing." Snorting he man ruffled his hair. "Don't get carried away my Sunflower."
"Don't think I've forgotten you. Why don't you come over here instead of pouting. " Harry snapped his head up glaring at Greyback. "In your dreams. I'm staying right here."
"Come over here now. I won't ask again." Feeling the muscles underneath him tense Naruto wiggled. He did not want to get caught up in this feuding mess right now.
"Then be like a good doggy and don't ask." Snarling Greyback dropped Naruto on the ground grabbing Harry's hair. Being forcefully ejected from the Alpha's lap Naruto grunted in surprise. "You will not disrespect me in front of my pack." Grabbing the struggling Submissive Greyback sat back down with a disgruntled Harry in the man's lap now.
"You will sit quiet and listen little pup."
"You can't treat me like this." Ignoring Harry's cursing the Alpha projected his dominance to all the surrounding people.
Naruto feeling cold now that he didn't have the warm Alpha near him huddled closer by the fire, trying to chase away the disappointment of being discarded like that.
"We will have to leave after the next full moon." Silence sliced through the pack. Even Harry stopped struggling.
"The Ministry has caught wind of our hidden border territory along with the Alliance. We will be moving back home."
"But Alpha what about the treaties." Trevor spoke up. Greyback shook his head, "Gone, we will have to start all over again. We will start dismantling everything we can carry the rest will be burned."
"Alpha." The Beta spoke up waiting for Greyback to acknowledge him.
"It will be winter soon, that not only entails the harsh walk but also the mating season. IS it truly dire that we leave." Muscles bunching up through his arms Harry pressed back from the impressive energy Fenrir Greyback were emitting.
Naruto himself was having a hard time not bowing to the same power. "Are you questioning my decision Beta." The Alpha's rough undertone let everyone here know he was not playing around. Bowing the Beta lowered his eyes, "No, Alpha. I was only worried about the long trek in winter." Sighing out heavily Greyback looked at everyone one of his pack, all twenty two individuals.
"If we stay here we will be hunted down because we are the Ulric Clan. The Alliance might work with us but not those wizards. We will start hunting for surplus food for the journey. We leave after the full moon."
"Even if the cub arrives before the move?" The Healer questioned. Looking at Naruto Greyback nodded. "Even then." After the pack disbursed Naruto got up heading towards the Alpha's hut.
Nan had slunk away to visit the other wild wolves for the night. This was good in away, this meant more chances of escape but he didn't particularly care about the part where the cub was involved.
"Naruto." Startled Naruto turned around to face Harry.
The other Submissive had a frown on his face, his cheeks hollowing out as green eyes without the hindrance of glasses looked at him. The wolf stood up alert in his mind. "I'm sorry for the way I've been treating you. It's not really you it's this damn wolf confusing my decisions. No it's this whole damn place. Look can I talk to you." Watching the other man Naruto nodded going back to the fire pit, it was mostly deserted now anyway.
Blinking his eyes he tried to concentrate, feeling dead beat. "Look ever since I got bit, no even before that after the war was finished I had wanted to go back to school, but I couldn't with all the publicity going around I was practically forced to join the Aurnor academy." Naruto listened wondering why Harry needed to talk to him about this.
He felt unsettled and weird hearing this man's past history. Probably seeing his face Harry paused before trying to explain himself better.
"What I'm trying to say is that everything has been moving at a fast pace, there has been no time to organize my own feelings. I know that I let my friends get bitten and I killed those people on my team, I… I find myself hating you because you carry a werewolf young. Because this beast, this monster inside me, sees you as a threat. A threat of claiming the Alpha all to itself. It's sickening. I hate it." Breathing out nosily Harry stopped talking, taking his eyes off Naruto.
"I just want you to know I'm not normally a dick." Cracking a smile Naruto rubbed at his lips. Harry was a lot like Sasuke in this regard, blaming himself for every wrong that had happened.
"Apology accepted, I'm not normally like this either." Nodding Harry stood up beginning to turn before he paused. "Oh and just so you know I'll try to control this thing inside me." Watching Harry move up towards the Alpha's hut Naruto didn't comment on how easy Harry was trekking up to the big bad wolfs den.
He also noticed that Harry hadn't fully embraced his other half, and that was what was tearing him apart inside. He just hoped Harry wouldn't explode before he made peace with himself.
