Not So Savage
Chapter 11
Hermione ran as quick as her legs would carry her to the cabin, all the while hoping Fenrir would be there. Before long the cabin came into sight and she slowed her run but still hurried. Reaching the entrance to the little cabin she looked inside and was relieved to see that Fenrir was indeed there. But her heart sank when she saw that it looked as if he was packing things into a bag. He even had his large trench coat on, and he only ever wore that if he was leaving the area for a consecutive amount of hours.
Catching her breath she asked, "Where are you going?"
Fenrir glanced at her briefly before saying, "Out, not that it's any of your business."
"How long will you be gone?"
"A few days."
"Days?!"
"What does it matter to you?"
The man was angry with her, she knew that. But Hermione was determined to make him hear her out at least a little before he left for wherever it was he was going. She knew he wasn't obligated to tell her where he was going, but she didn't want him to leave with them still upset with each other; the guilt would eat her alive. And he never left her alone for long, but now he was leaving for days. He must really be angry with her to do this.
"Fenrir," Hermione started. "Listen, about what happened back there-"
"You don't have to explain yourself, Hermione," Fenrir cut her off. "You made yourself perfectly clear to me back there."
"No! I didn't mean to hurt you, I swear! I just, I just felt like you were attacking me unreasonably and I got defensive. And I know you're not fond of Ginny or anyone else that doesn't think well of you, but you have to understand that she is important to me."
Fenrir let out a sigh and as he continued to fill his bag with all of is hunting gear and other untensils he would need, he said, "I understand that seeing her again after weeks of being trapped here with me was exciting for you, considering you haven't seen any other witches and wizards that you know since the Dark Lord gave you to me. But you are a part of my pack now and I felt like you were going to abandon us, abandon…me. And who knows, you probably will eventually."
The brunette felt her heart clench in her chest hearing the hurt in Fenrir's voice. Even his bright blue eyes seemed to be less bright. It made her wonder exactly how important she was to him. It probably had to do with the fact that she was his mate, but for some reason she couldn't understand she hoped it didn't all chalk up to that. She was about to speak more but the werewolf strode past her and out of the cabin, heading for the woods. Hurrying after him she called out, "Wait!"
"What for?" Fenrir asked a bit coldly.
Brown eyes stared up into bright blue ones desperately as Hermione said, "I'm sorry, I really am. And I know you're upset with me, but…don't go. Please stay, I don't want you to go."
The Alpha looked down at his mate with a somewhat surprised look on his face. Blinking he asked softly, "What did you say?"
"Please don't go. I want you to stay. I know you're angry with me right now and don't want to speak with me, but I don't want things between us to be like this. I want to fix this and I can't do that if you're gone because of me. And I know you care about me so what I say can hurt you, but I care about you too! I-"
"You care about me?" Fenrir asked almost disbelievingly. "Do you really?"
Hermione looked up into Fenrir's hopeful eyes and answered truthfully, "Yes."
Just hearing that simple word of confirmation filled Fenrir with a sense of happiness that he had never experienced before. Knowing that Hermione, his mate and love of his life, really cared for him instead of him just hoping that she would one day made him feel really good. Maybe he wasn't as bad a person as he thought and other's made him out to be. If Hermione, someone who wasn't a werewolf, could learn to care for him, then maybe he wasn't a lost cause.
Taking in a breath he gave a small smile and said, "Alright, I won't leave.
A relieved grin spread across the witch's face and not being able to help herself, she closed the space between them and wrapped her arms around his large body in a close hug, her chest buried in his muscular chest. The action surprised Fenrir momentarily, but he soon relaxed and returned the embrace. They hadn't hugged before but if felt like the most natural thing in the world to them and it felt good. They didn't know how long they stood there hugging, but they both knew that they had to let go, which they did albeit reluctantly.
Placing his hand on her head affectionately Fenrir told her, "Let me out my things back inside and then I'm going to go talk to Rhys and a few others about what to do with Weasley."
"You're not going to make her leave, are you?" Hermione asked.
"Let us council about it and I'll let you know our decision. But if it will put your mind at ease about her, she can stay until further notice."
"Really?"
"If it'll make you happy; all I want is to see you happy. And I also accept your apology. I know you didn't mean it, but tensions between us were a bit high at the time."
Hermione smiled brightly up at the older man, jovial that he was letting Ginny stay for the time being, if only for her. It filled her with so much joy that he was able to put aside his obvious dislike of her red haired friend and let her stay. Of course she knew he was only doing it for her, but he had once told her that he would try his best to make her happy in any way possible. Even so she couldn't hide her joy and upon Fenrir making her happy and accepting her apology she did something she didn't think she would ever do.
Reaching up she cupped Fenrir's scruffy face and stood on her toes, pressing her lips against his in a sweet kiss. Bright blue eyes widened in shock before they fell shut and he placed his large hands on her hips, returning her kiss. That one simple kiss ended up filling them both with a feeling that was so indescribable they were only able to act on it. The kiss turned from sweet to passionate, their lips moving against each others as they kissed deeply. Hands moved trying to bring the other's body closer, and pretty soon Fenrir had one of his hands twisted in Hermione's hair, the other on her back while Hermione had her arms wrapped tightly around Fenrir's neck. Hermione had to pull away for a breath of air and let out a gasp when the Alpha male suddenly attached his lips to her neck, causing her to give an almost inaudible moan. Fenrir's sensitive ears however heard it and it caused him to growl in his throat. He moved once again to devour her lips when the sound of a voice clearing caught their attention.
Turning their heads they saw Libby standing there with a Cheshire grin on her face, her fanged teeth showing as she did. She stood with her arms crossed and raised an eyebrow at them, causing Hermione to blush bright red and pull away from the the large werewolf while Fenrir glared over at his pack member.
"What is it, Libby?" he practically growled.
Libby had to stop herself from laughing and replied, "Just wanted to inform you that Ginny has regained consciousness. Edith is with her right now and she's asking for Hermione since we told her she was here."
Hermione nodded and told Fenrir she would see him later before quickly walking away past Libby to head back to the clearing, an embarrassed blush on her face, Libby not far behind her. On the way there she couldn't help but think, Oh my gosh, I can't believe I just kissed Fenrir. I kissed Fenrir! What is happening to me?
The platinum haired she wolf was quiet for a moment before saying, "That kiss was hot, by the way."
"Libby!" Hermione exclaimed, her face turning redder than it already was.
Libby laughed before saying, "I was going to let you figure this out on your own, because I figured if I told you it would scare you. But I think I'll just tell you anyway."
"Tell me what?"
"About why you kissed Alpha, and so passionately as well, might I add."
"And what is the reason?"
Her friend grinned down at her and in an excited tone said, "Hermione, you are beginning to feel the Pull towards Alpha."
