I do not own Harry Potter, sadly, or the pairings (and the personalities) would be so messed up it wouldn't be Harry Potter anymore... Enjoy!
We came to a run down village. The pack was quite large. Nearly fifty. There were men and woman covered in mud fighting, throwing things at one another. A man, old in age, sat in the middle of the village, on a chair that was raised up. A woman, nearly Hermione's age, was covered in mud, kneeling on the ground beside him. All activity stopped as we entered the village. They stared at us. Mostly me. I felt someone smack my bottom. I turned my head and let out a snarl. The man, fifty, shrunk back. Pervert. Only my mate touched me that way.
"Roma," Remus hissed. I immediately looked to the ground.
"Sorry, Alpha," I murmured. This was too easy.
"Ah, Remus Lupin! It's been too long! And who is this beauty?"
I glanced up and met the man's gray-green eyes. Fenrir's eye color. He was a skinny man, gray hair, and very muscular. Almost as much as Fenrir, but not quite. He resembled my mate so much.
"Romula Lupin, my sister," Remus stated.
"Romula Lupin!" the man laughed. "Odin Greyback. Welcome to my pack. Everyone, these are my guests for a few days. They are to be treated as such." The wolves that had gathered quickly busied themselves with what they were doing before. "Last I heard, Remus, you were solo."
"I found her hiding in the woods," Remus stated, eyes flickering to the girl at Odin's feet. "You know what that's like."
Odin laughed, "Oh, I do, quite well. Bitch," Odin hissed. The girl at his feet looked up.
"Yes, Alpha?" her voice trembled, but it was quite beautiful. Her face was angelic. Her hair, blonde, was curly and fell down her shoulders in beauty. Even if she was filthy. Her eyes, I noticed, were an amber, almost the color of a werewolf's during the moon. Her face was heart shaped and held fear, longing, and sadness.
But anger coursed through me. How dare he treat her this way?
"Get the cub. Bring the thing here."
"Yes, Alpha." She stood on shaky legs and took off running. She was so skinny. I could see the notches in her bones from here.
"As you can see, Remus, we have another member."
"Is that so?" Remus asked. "Last I was here, she wasn't pregnant."
"Ah, but that bitch whores around more than I thought. Hid it from me."
"What are you going to do?" Remus asked, curiously as she returned with a bundle in her arms. It was too cold for a baby to be brought outside. I knew that.
"Offer it to your pack," Odin replied. The girl's eyes held fear as she handed the cub to Odin. Her bottom lip trembled and she sunk back down on her knees as Odin rose. "You could use another member, could you not?"
Remus smirked, "And why would I take a member of your pack, Odin?"
"I have no need of it here. The other four have already died. None were my children. This one included. The little slut needs to learn her lesson."
"The four died?" Remus asked, eyebrow raised. "They seemed in good health when I last checked in."
Odin smirked, "Oh, they were. Got on my nerves. Always crying." The baby in his arms started to whimper as the cold air blasted into its face. "Not going to take it?" Odin asked, and before Remus could utter the words, his mouth open to reply, Odin's motion was swift. I heard the girl on the ground give a gasp, but was otherwise silent.
"I'd like to buy her for a night," Remus stated clearly, looking at the girl on the ground. He showed no emotion of the child just killed seconds before. He was rather good at this.
Odin smirked, "Is that so? How much?"
"Fifty galleons?" Remus asked. "Or is that not enough?"
"Fifty galleons 'ought to do it," Odin replied. Remus handed out the sack to him. Odin took it, counting the coins. "Very well, she is yours. . ." Odin's eyes turned to me, "And your sister?"
"Is to watch," Remus replied, smirking.
Odin laughed loudly, "Oh, Remus, I quite like you."
"Thank you, Odin. I'll be sure not to break her too much."
"Remember, I expect her back by morning."
"Always," Remus nodded.
He took the girl's arm and jerked her to her feet. "Where are we to stay?"
"The guest quarters from last time. I assume that'll be sufficient?"
"Of course, Odin. Always has been in the past."
Odin nodded to us in parting and Remus led us away. As soon as we reached the small run down cabin, Remus opened the door, ushering us inside, before closing the door. He drew the blinds around him, casting a silencing charm on the place.
"Are you alright?" I asked the girl quietly.
She flinched back as I approached her. "If you're going to hurt me," she whispered. "I'd rather it be done sooner than later."
Remus sighed, letting the girl, "We're not going to hurt you. We just wanted to get you away from Odin for a while."
The girl glanced at us suspiciously. "Why would I need to get away?"
"Does he do this regularly?" I asked her.
She nodded, "At least once a week."
"How old are you?" I asked kindly, taking a step towards her. She didn't move away.
"Nineteen. My birthday was last week."
"Happy Birthday," I smiled.
She sniffled, "No one's told me that since I was brought here."
I sighed, "Well, that's going to change. I'm a werewolf too you know. Were you magical before you were brought here?"
She nodded, "Pureblood. Ilyra McAllond."
"McAllond?" I asked her, narrowing my eyes. "Relation to Badra McAllond, the Auror?"
She nodded, "My grandmother. She-She died in the first war."
I shook my head, "That's a shame. Listen, can I ask you a few questions? Girl to girl?"
She bit her lip, hesitating, but nodded, "Sure."
"Were you and Odin mated on?"
"Mated on?" she asked. "You mean, did he bite me when we were ..."
I nodded, not bothering to let her finish, "Yes, did he?"
She shook her head, "He's too old, he said. He just bit me in front of the pack. There was so much blood. I passed out. And when I awoke, I was told that I was the Alpha's mate and he could treat me as he wanted. I didn't have any chance to object."
"Has he hit you?" I asked her, reaching a hand out to touch her arm.
She stiffened, but nodded. "Many times."
"And he's sold you frequently, yes?"
She nodded.
"How old were you when it first happened?"
"Eleven," she admitted. "I was brand new to this life. It's normal."
"No, its not," Remus interrupted.
I shot Remus a look and then glanced at the frail girl before me, "When was the last time you ate?"
"Yesterday," she mumbled.
"And a proper sleep?" I pressed.
She bit her lip, glancing at me. "I-I don't know."
"Wrong," I smiled. "Tonight."
Her eyes widened, "But-"
"Odin won't find out," Remus stated.
Her eyes flickered between us, "Who are you?"
"Remus Lupin," I gestured to my brother. "I'm Roma."
She murmured. "Why are you so nice to me?"
"Why would I be mean?" I countered. "I know your grandmother."
"Is that why you asked about her?" she murmured, glancing up. I nodded. "How is she? You said you know her. Is she still alive?"
"Hanging in there," I said truthfully. "She's worried about you. She thought all her children were dead."
"Odin killed my parents when he found me," she murmured. "That's why I was in the forest. I was running, trying to escape. I didn't know that he was waiting with the others there."
"It's alright," I told her quietly. "You're safe now."
"But I'm not," she insisted. "Everytime I have a cub, he murders it right in front of me. Josh was the only string of sanity I had left here. When you leave, and I'll be sent back tomorrow, I'll have to start all over again. Any other cubs I have will be killed. I'm not Rose. I didn't give him his first son. His son ran away and he's been so bitter, so horrible ever since."
"Are there any others that want to leave?" I asked her.
She nodded, "There's Frida. She's eight. She's being trained to go through what I did. I think... I think Alpha's going to kill me soon. And he's going to use her as a replacement. And she's so scared. She hides in her hut all day. And Mira, she's eighteen as well. She's unmated, the cook's daughter."
"Why does she want to leave?" I asked her.
"She's been r-raped by Odin," Ilyra whispered, her face twisting up in pain. "Odin uses her for pleasure rather than coming to me. I can't say I'm grateful, because of her, but if he did come to me, he'd mate with me and I don't want to mate with him. It's selfish and-"
"You're looking out for yourself," I told her. "That's what you should be doing."
"So just Mira and Frida?" Remus asked.
Ilyra nodded, "That I know of. They're the ones that help me deliver. Frida supplies me with potions, Mira does the actual delivery."
"So young," I sighed. "Are you pregnant now?"
Her eyes widened, "How did you-"
I gave her a soft smile, "It's takes a mother to know. How far?"
"A few months. It's not noticeable yet. You-You won't tell, right?" she whimpered.
I shook my head, "Never. Get some rest. Early morning."
She nodded and slowly made her way to the bed. It was filthy, stained, but she didn't seem to notice. She got in and hesitantly glanced at us before lying down.
She was asleep soon and I glanced at Remus, "Morning. That's when we do it."
Remus nodded, biting his lip, "This better work."
I smirked, digging my hand into my pocket before pulling out a bag of coins. "Bribe him first. If that doesn't work, then we go with the original plan."
Remus nodded, letting out a shakey breath. "I don't know if I'm ready."
I smirked, "You're my brother. You were born ready."
Well I don't know about you, but I don't like Odin... haven't at all when I wrote this.
