Author's Note: I am so sorry about the delay! Life happened. Even though I love writing it does take a back seat to my life. Sadly my husband was in an accident and I had to pull mommy, daddy, and nurse, plus working and I am usually too exhausted to think by the end of the day. I do hope you enjoy this and thank you all for hanging in there!

Pushing her slightly in the direction of Viktor before turning and walking towards the cave opening as he called over his shoulder to her loud enough that everyone who hear him, "Go spend time with your mate Pup. I have... business to attend to."

Hermione watched him approach Remus and Sirius before the 3 men walked into the cave and disappeared.

Turning to were she knew Viktor had been she nearly jumped from her skin seeing him less than two feet from her staring down at her with his hand held out towards her. Swallowing she just kept hearing Fenrir, Remus, and Albena in her head about giving him a chance as she placed her hand slowly into his.

Chapter 12

Mouth of the Cave

Looking at Viktor's large hand as it engulfed her own for a moment before looking up at him.

His eyes were skimming over her as if in search of something. Finally his eyes landed on her own, "How are vou feeling moyata malŭk vŭlk? I apologize for not being vith vou avter vou voke up. Vut I figured vou vould need time alone. I am glad to see vou bevore I leave for school, ve vere just preparing."

Looking over his shoulder she saw Petra grin at her and wave before turning back to the others. Turning her attention back to Viktor she couldn't help the blush that graced her cheeks, "I…" Biting her lower lip as she looked down and then back up to greet his eyes, "I wanted to thank you."

She could see his chest instantly swell at her words and the tension leave his shoulders, had she really been that bad he was this excited over a small positive thing? Clearing her throat softly before starting again, "I wanted to thank you for taking care of me the night of the full moon. Profes...Rem… my fath… errr he told me you protected me." Biting her lip. "And that it wasn't the first time you protected me."

Hanging her head slightly, "Fenrir didn't hurt you too badly for protecting me did he? Before the full moon."

Viktor huffed his chest, "Virst moyata malŭk vŭl, vou should get used to not calling him Fenrir…. He is Alpha. My Alpha and yours, whether you accept that right now or if vou need more time." Scrunching his face, "In da muggle vorld, der are Armies. If vou came across a General, vould vou disrespect him, by refering to him vith out title?"

Watching her shake her head he nodded and then continued speaking as he led her to a fallen tree to sit, "Alpha earned his title, show him da respect he earned. Everyvne here is alive because of him. Da, he had to make hard choices. Some very unsavory. Vut, dey are choices, and vou do not know vhat the alternative vas."

Swallowing she nodded her head, "Okay, I will try to see it that way, but he still…."

Viktor smirked while shaking his head knowing that she was not ready to accept everything just yet. "Vour velcome."

He grinned seeing her head cock to the side in confusion momentarily, so he continued his sentence. "Vor protecting vou…. Although, it is nothing vou need to thank me vor. I do it gladly, vou are my everything now. Of course I vould protect vou."

Blushing she looked down and he watched as her face continued to darken, "You saw me naked…."

He grinned, "I promise moyata malŭk vŭlk, I did not look at everything. Although, I could stare at vour legs forever. Vut, I did not vook closely at vou. I vould prefer vou to vant me to vook."

She blushed and nodded, "Thank you for not looking." Furrowing her brows, "Not that I am not happy to see you, but I thought you were suppose to leave yesterday to go back to Hogwarts?"

He smiled and nodded, "Da. I vanted to vait and make sure vou vere alright avter you injured vourself. I should have left dis mornign, vut last night on patrol ve came across a problem. So now ve are vaiting to see vhat Alpha vishes to do about it."

Furrowing her brows, "A problem?"

Suddenly she remembered seeing Sirius talking to Remus, "Sirius was here… What happened? Is everything alright? Harry? Is Harry okay?"

Viktor frowned, "Vou are very close to Harry yes?"

Nodding her head and then realization hit her, Viktor was hurt that she might want Harry more than him. "I love him Viktor. He is… my best friend, my brother."

A small smile graced his face, "Brother's are alvays nice to have. As far as I know he is fine in the cave."

Hermione shot up, "Harry is here!"

She started towards the mouth of the cave but was stopped when Viktor's arms wrapped around her, "Vou cannot see him right now. Alpha is deciding vhat to do vit him. Turn him or vet him leave."

Snapping her head back towards him, "I never got that choice!"

Viktor sighed and she could feel him trying to calm her against his chest again, "He doesn't either, it is Alpha's choice. And he made same choice vit vou. He made choice to turn vou, and bring vou into his family."

She hadn't even realized that she was crying until she noticed the ground beneath her getting wet. Glancing down at the arm wrapped around her chest, she felt like the wind had been knocked from her.

Running his hand over her back trying to sooth her, "Calm moyata malŭk vŭlk. Everything vill be fine. Everything vill be fine."

Inside the Cave

Remus closed his eyes as he saw Viktor lead Hermione away from the cave. Upon opening them he turned back to Fenrir and Sirius as they walked fuller in the cave.

As the ground passed beneath them he stopped, "Alpha. I know Hermione was brought in like normal, but Harry….there has been too many signs lately of you-know-who's followers trying to rise up. Something is coming and I…"

Fenrir just held up a hand to silence him before walking into a room that had a few large piles of furs for them to sit on.

Sirius, who had been uncharacteristically quiet up until this point sat and snorted, "You mean the rat…."

Fenrir let a low growl and Sirius quieted slightly. Being a canine agnimus he knew the sound, he knew Fenrir was the Alpha in the room. Seeing Mooney accept Fenrir's command Also helped him know the situation.

Fenrir let his growl hover for a moment, "I am aware of the rising followers. I have already been contacted to rejoin."

Standing he ignored the protested words from Sirius and the dropped jaw from Remus. "Certain members feel they have what is required to bring back the Dark Lord."

Remus just sat there staring at Fenrir for a moment before Sirius exploded, "THEY CAN'T! THAT WOULD BE…"

Fenrir let out a loud growl as he reached forward and grabbed Sirius by the neck, "You will control yourself Dog. You may not be a wolf, but your inner canine knows I am Alpha! I never said I WANTED him back."

Letting a small whimper escape before tilting his head to the side naturally submitting.

After watching Sirius calm down and Fenrir release his old friend Remus knew this was going to be Sirius' best shot at a normal life. He was accepting it without being told too like his new daughter. But then he knew knew Sirius always was happier as Padfoot.

Glancing at his Alpha, "Do you know if there is truth to it? If they can bring him back?"

Sighing Fenrir sat still for a moment before nodding his head. If they obtain all things necessary then yes. He could be revived. When he came to me 24 years ago he promised me freedom for my people if I joined him."

Leaning back he shook his head, "It was in my people's best interest to follow him. The Wizarding world didn't accept us, you know very well how hard it is to get and the keep a job."

Remus nodded as he looked down ashamed in his own failing.

Fenrir didn't waiver though, "I thought he would make things more equal. It didn't work out that way though." his eyes boring into Remus' "I don't want to repeat that mistake again. Maybe Harry arriving is for the better."

Sirius crossed his legs and narrowed his eyes, "What do you mean?"

Fenrir look at them both before sighing, "He stays and becomes part of my pack. He gets bitten and he doesn't need to go back. No one will know he is here. You-know-who can't come back."

Sirius dropped his jaw before standing, "Remus hates being a wolf. He was miserable growing up…. The pain and agony he went through, you are not putting my Godson through that!"

Remus calmly put an arm on Sirius' arm. "Sirius. You know I've talked with you about changing…."

Sirius shook his head, "I am already broken. You said the wolf might help me… not him. James is better than me Remus. He.."

Remus face dropped as he took a breath, "Harry. We are talking about Harry. And it would be to protect him…"

Sirius swallowed and looked at the floor realizing he had called Harry 'James' again. "Harry then… I.."

Fenrir just stood, "You both know this is my decision not yours right? You and the boy came into my territory, now your lives and what your immediate future holds is in my hands. I am Alpha here."

Sirius just looked to Remus who was already staring directly at him. "You are okay with this… aren't you?"

Remus nodded his head slowly, "Things have changed Sirius. Would you be willing? To stay?" He swallowed thickly as he stared at his longest friend, one of only 3 that had stuck by him in their youth. Now he knew he would need to be his rock.

Sirius slowly looked between Fenrir and Remus a few times before settling on his friend, "I would be yes. But Harry deserves a choice, something he has never had." Looking directly to Fenrir, "Let him have a choice."

Fenrir stood and walked from the room with his head high not answering Sirius, not that there was a question to begin with.

The two guards outside the door received a single nod from him and moved to stand in front of the doors blocking Sirius and Remus from leaving. He kept walking further into the cave ignoring the cries from Sirius for him to stop.

Walking over over to two other guards he paused slightly, "Follow me." Before continuing onto the room that housed Harry.

As soon as he and the other two entered the room Harry stood to face them, Fenrir could easily tell the boy was nervous. However, the first question out of his mouth was not for his own safety. "Where is Hermione? Is she okay?"

Tilting his head as he continued to watch the boy, "The Cub is no longer your concern."

Cringing, "Cub? Is she? Did you?"

Letting out a huff followed by a low growl, "The Cub is not your concern, you are not her Alpha, Father, or Mate. Therefore you do not need to concern yourself with her. Her mate is caring for her now."

Harry paled even more if that was even possible, "Mate? But she isn't even legal! She may not be any of those things, but she is my sister. I love her. And you can't take her from me! And you Can't take Sirius, or Remus. They are my only family left! Please!"

Fenrir ground his teeth for a moment as he thought about the boys wording, "Your only family?" He slowly started to circle the boy glancing him over. "You do realise that two thirds of your family are already in my pack, and Sirius is already well on his way to joining it as well. What will you do then Boy?"

Harry took a step back as Fenrir confirmed that Hermione had indeed been bitten. He knew it in his mind, there was no way she would have been able to go through the full moon without being turned. Looking down he rubbed his arms trying to warm his cooling skin, "I … I don't know. The headmaster probably won't let me near them... "

There was no sound in the cave for a moment before a low but powerful growl filled the room causing Harry to look up wide eyed.

Fenrir nodded to the other two men in the room as they each grabbed one of Harry's arms before speaking, "That old coot is a manipulative, selfish, power hungry, man and as corrupted as the Dark Lord himself. He just has more tact at getting what he wants, did you really think he never checked up on you before you turned 11? He knew. He wanted you weak. He wanted you to NEED him. I've made up my mind about you, I don't think you need to be in that world any longer."

Fenrir grinned seeing Harry start shaking, "Don't worry. Your 'Sister' survived. So will you."

Fenrir grinned at the two holding Harry, "Strip him."

Hope you enjoyed this chapter! Again I am so sorry about the delay in this story, I won't be updating everyday, but it will be better than this last time span. Working, being a mom and wife are really taking up my time. I do enjoy writing, but sadly I cannot allow it to take up my life and I do it when I can.

Love you all! Please review and let me know.
