Well, here's the last chapter. Don't forget about the story 'Identity Crisis' on my website. The content of that story was so mature that there was no way I could make it acceptable for this site.

Chapter Eight- Epilogue

"You're a vampire's pet?" Rally's voice gasped.

"I am, but really it's not that bad. Jack is really nice. We're just as much friends as we are owner and pet."

"Sounds like you got lucky he bought you," came Crow's voice. "Honestly when we couldn't find you weeks ago, we figured you were caught and sold."

"Yeah. It was rough the first couple of days but as I said, things are great now."

"We should hang up," Rally said. "The moon will rise soon."

"You're right. I'll call after the full moons are over." Yusei pushed a paw on the power button and the device turned off. He leaped off his bed, padded out of the bedroom, and into a secret passage in the hall. He came to a sealed door and Jack standing beside it. The vampire smiled before entering a code into a number pad. A beep sounded and the door opened to reveal a large room of steel walls and plenty of food and water.

"I know it's not much, but it'll serve its purpose," Jack said.

"As long as I'm unable to escape, I don't care what it looks like." Yusei entered the room and turned. "Good night, Jack."

"Good night, Yusei." Jack sealed the wolf in and then raced to his room and activated his computer before linking it to the hidden cameras in the safe room. He was curious about Yusei's full moon form and had the cameras installed. He sat down and watched Yusei pad around the room. He quickly glanced up at the sky outside the window before looking down again and his mouth dropped.

Yusei had reared up onto his back legs which had gotten bigger and more muscular. His tail had gotten bushier and his back claws had extended past his paws. His body grew bigger and more muscular and his forepaws transformed into clawed hands with pads on the palms. His blue eyes turned red and glowing. He threw back his head and howled, though Jack couldn't hear it.

He really does look like a monster. No wonder humans in the Satellite fear werewolves. But, it's only three nights a month. Jack watched as Yusei tried unsuccessfully to get out and eventually give up. He devoured the food and drank some water before curling up, but not sleeping. Jack logged off before sleeping himself.

Yusei's last full moon night occurred the night before Jack's next duel. The duel gave Jack a challenge and he managed to win by a narrow margin. This exciting win prompted Jack to host a victory party for that night. It suited Jack as he was dying to show off Yusei who was also eager to see what a social party was like.

A catering service was hired and Jack made a menu for humans and vampires as well as a short list of guests. While the caterers were setting up, Jack selected an outfit before washing, combing, and brushing Yusei. He even added a fancy bow to the collar to give it a festive look.

At long last, the party started at eight. Jack stood at the front door to greet the guests with Yusei at his side. Each guest that came in thanked Jack for the invite, congratulated him on his win, and complimented him on his werewolf pet. Yusei preened at being called handsome and enjoyed the strokes and pets he received. He made sure to act like a wolf as per the agreement he and Jack had made weeks ago.

"Akiza, welcome," said Jack. He looked down and smiled. "And you brought your pet. Wonderful."

"I could hardly miss a party," the lady vampires said. She then looked down and she grinned. "So you did buy a pet and handsome one, too."

"Thank you. I recently gave him a bath."

Akiza's wolf approached Yusei and sniffed him and Yusei did the same. The female barked and Yusei did the same, too. Yusei sensed this wolf had been taught to act like a wolf at all times, unlike him. If Mina hadn't abused me, Jack and I would never have become friends.

"That was a wonderful party," Yusei said as he and Jack laid in bed, the former in human form. "Are all parties like that?"

"Certain parts of them are. There is always a supply of blood of course. Some gatherings are large and others are small. The reasons also vary. Some are held to flaunt their riches and finery. I occasionally have one to celebrate dueling victories. I find that the best parties are those that are announced mere hours before they start."

"Like tonight's party."

"Precisely." Jack smothered a yawn. "I'll be finishing the paperwork on you living with me."

"I thought it was done."

"All, except your name. It won't take long. Afterwards, we can take a walk and I'll show you anything you want."

"Sounds great." Yusei yawned and dropped off to sleep, actually happy to be the property of a vampire.
