Chapter 3 of My pack is my family. Considering a title change. please wait for updates on that.

Yugi screamed and struggled against his brother. "Valon please! Please don't let father hurt him! His pack needs him!"

Valon growled and finally dropped him. Yugi didn't have time to react before Valon pressed his paw down on him digging his claws into Yugi's fur. Yugi whimpered.

"Broth-"

"Don't call me that! You are NOT my brother! You never were and you never will be!" Valon screamed as he pressed down on Yugi's chest.

"V-Valon." Yugi forced out.

"Shut up. You're nothing but a traitor." Valon growled.

"I was banished!" Yugi defended. "I was thrown out and forced into another territory where he knew i would be captured or killed!"

"Shit happens." Valon growled.

"Don't punish Atem and his pack. Please Valon. They did nothing wrong." Yugi begged.

"Not my problem. I follow my alpha's orders. Simple as that." Valon said. "Once they're dead you'll get over it."

Yugi tried to get away. "No. I won't let you hurt them." He was starting to move. He got maybe an inch of space before Valon pressed down harder making Yugi cry out.

Valon bore his teeth as he got ready to bite Yugi. Yugi closed his eyes and prepared himself for the pain that was going to come. It never did. He slowly opened his eyes to find Bakura pinning Valon down.

"Yugi!" Ryou ran over to him.

Yugi got up. "Ryou? What are you-"

"Don't worry about that. Where's Atem?" Ryou asked.

Yugi froze for a moment before running off. He had to get there in time. Please let him be there in time.

Atem yelped out again as Dartz bit him again. He was torturing him. Atem knew it. Dartz was loving seeing him like this and was taking advantage of it.

"The funny thing is i never cared for that runt. He's lucky i didn't kill him long ago." Dartz sneered.

Atem growled. "You're a damn scum bag."

"Oh no you hurt my feelings." he smirked.

Atem growled and struggled to get free. Before he knew it Dartz was off of him and there was another wolf growling and wrestling with Dartz. He saw Ryou running to him.

"Ryou? What are you doing here? Who is tha-" Atem looked to find Yugi wrestling with Dartz.

Yugi growled lowly his fur bristled up and teeth bared. Atem was amazed. This runt had been so nervous and quiet he never would have guessed he had this side of him. Yugi growled his ears lowering. Atem could see anger, sadness, and what he thought was hatred in his eyes.

Yugi pounced and went to bite Dartz neck but Dartz was too fast. He dodged it and grabbed Yugi. Yugi yelped out as Dartz bit down. He threw Yugi who slammed against a tree. Yugi let out loud whimpering yelp as he hit the tree before he fell limp to the ground.

"Yugi. Yugi get up." Atem heard Ryou say. He watched Dartz walked towards Yugi who was barely coming to.

"Worthless. I never should have turned you. Never should have taken you in. I should have just let you die." Dartz growled. Yugi could barely blink as he watched Dartz too weak to stop him.

Dartz went to bite his neck only to be pushed away. Yugi looked up to find Atem standing over him protectively before four more wolves did the same. He knew one was Ryou and he recognized the rest as Bakura Marik and Malik.

"Back down." Atem growled.

"You're gonna protect this runt after you used him? A little late to care about him don't you think?" Dartz sneered.

"You're out numbered and your boys are in cages. They can't help you." Bakura sneered.

Dartz growled. For a moment Yugi really thought he would continue trying but Dartz didn't. He calmed and sneered at them.

"Fine. Keep the dog. But this isn't over." Dartz growled before running off.

Yugi relaxed as the others turned to him. "Th-thank you." Yugi managed before he passed out.

Atem managed to lift Yugi onto his back. He winced a bit but held him. Ignoring the pain he started to limp home. The others wanted to argue or tell him to relax but they knew better. Atem felt like he owed Yugi and they all knew better than to argue that.

Once back at the house Atem took Yugi to his room. He'd let Yugi sleep in it until he found another room for him. "Bakura." Atem called.

Bakura came. "Yes?" he was in his human form and fully dressed again.

"Have Ryou come in. Yugi needs to be attended to." Atem said turning human. He grabbed clothes and got dressed. Bakura nodded and left. Some time later Ryou came in. "Ryou i want Yugi taken care of. The best treatment you can give him."

"Yes Atem." Ryou nodded. "What about you? You're hand is gushing."

Atem looked at it. "Take care of him first then worry about me."

Ryou nodded and got the supplies he needed then started to treat Yugi. "he'll have to stay in this form for a while. He'll heal quicker that way."

"Ok. Make sure you tell him that." Atem said as he started to leave.

"Where are you going?" Ryou asked.

"To make a call. Just continue treating him." Atem said before walking out.

Ryou nodded.

Atem went to his den room and picked up the phone. After dialing a number he put it to his ear. A moment later someone picked up. "Cousin."

"Seto." Atem hated calling his cousin for help but he needed to know Yugi's history. "I need a background check on someone."

"Who?" Seto asked.

"His names Yugi. he's a wolf."

"I need a last name."

"I don't know it."

"Then I can't help you."

"But-"

"Bye." Seto hung up.

"Asshole." Atem glared at the phone as he hung up.

He went back to the room to find Yugi bandaged and still asleep and Ryou obviously waiting for him. Sighing he sat and let him work on him.

"What are you going to do to him now?" Ryou asked softly.

"Nothing. I'm going to let him stay." Atem said.

"Really? What changed your mind?" Ryou asked though he knew the answer.

"He put himself up for my pack. For me. Even after what I did." Atem said.

"You know not everyone is ready to kill us. There are good wolves out there." Ryou said.

"Am I going to get a lecture from the youngest in the pack now?" Atem asked raising an eyebrow.

"No but you deserve one." Ryou said.

"I know. Thanks for taking care of him."

"Just now or before you used him as bait?"

"Both." Atem admitted.

Ryou nodded and stood in front of him. "I'm sorry for what Dartz did to you and Bakura and Marik when you three were pups but you can't just assume you three are the only ones he hurt. Yugi saw him as a father and look what happened to him. His own brother was going to kill him."

"He was?"

"Yes Bakura and I barely made it in time." Ryou looked at Yugi's sleeping body. His tail moved slightly. "Just imagine what he's feeling right now."

"I know. But it's my job to protect my pack at all costs. I won't back down from anyone. I did once and it cost us everything." Atem said staring down at the floor.

"I know." Ryou sighed. "I just want you to know not all other wolves are bad. You know you have to find a mate soon."

"Don't remind me." Atem groaned. "It's not exactly easy to find a mate."

"No but you aren't making it easier by going the way you're going." Ryou said.

Atem sighed. "I know. Well thanks for bandaging me up." Atem stood once Ryou was done. "Let Yugi sleep. Once he's up bring him as much food as he wants then i guess keep him company for as long as either of you want."

"Now where are you going?" Ryou asked.

"To pay my cousin a visit." Atem said lowly.

Ryou froze but nodded. "O-ok."

Atem then left.

*time Skip*

Yugi groaned as he slowly woke up. His eyes opened and looked up at Ryou. His ears went flat as he cringed back before yelping out in pain.

"Don't move." Ryou said.

"Wh-what happened?" Yugi asked. "Where am I?"

"Do you not remember what happened today?" Ryou asked.

Yugi looked confused before remembering everything. He jumped up in fear before collapsing back down. Whimpering he panted a bit.

"Easy Yugi. Its ok. You're safe. You're safe." Ryou assured him.

"But your alpha-" Yugi started

"Our." Ryou said smiling.

"What?" Yugi asked

"Our alpha. You're one of us now." Ryou said happily.

"What?" Yugi asked in shock. "What do you mean I'm one of you?"

"Atem said you can be in our pack. And I figured since your last pack and father...well...you know, you'd accept it." Ryou said.

Yugi knew Ryou was right. He had nowhere else to go and no other pack to go to. He nodded. "I accept it."

"Great! Let's get you set up in a room!" Ryou smiled. "Oh you'll have to stay a wolf for a while to heal faster and better."

"I-I'm allowed to heal as a wolf?" Yugi asked.

"Yes of course. Why is that so surprising?" Ryou asked.

"Um well fath-Dartz never allowed me to heal as a wolf. If I was harmed during a hunt or punished by him I was to heal in my human form." Yugi said softly.

Ryou sighed and stood. "Well that's what we're like here." he gently lifted Yugi into his arms.

Yugi winced. "Ow."

"Sorry." Ryou apologized. "You'll feel better soon."

Yugi nodded. Ryou carried him out of the room and found Bakura.

"Hi Kura would you mind getting me the door to the spare room?" Ryou asked

"Should you be taking him there?" Bakura asked

"Atem has accepted him into the pack." Ryou said.

"Really? That's a shock. Ok." Bakura lead him to door and opened it.

Ryou carried Yugi in and laid him gently on the bed. "Ok you rest here. Its a bit empty right now but you can decorate it any way you choose. This room became available when I decided to become Bakura's mate." Ryou said.

Yugi nodded. "OK. Thank you."

"Well guess welcome to the pack shrimp. You try anything and you'll be lucky if Atem gets to you before I do." Bakura said.

Yugi gulped and nodded.

"Kura! Leave him alone! He's been through enough!" Ryou scolded and hit his arm.

Bakura rolled his eyes the smack clearly not hurting him. "Yeah yeah. Come on. I want some us time." he wrapped his arms around Ryou's waste.

Ryou rolled his eyes at his mate. "Unbelievable."

"You know it." he smirked.

"Come on you horny dog." Ryou smirked and walked out.

Bakura scoffed offended. "I am not a dog!" he chased after him closing the door behind him.

Yugi laid there. He couldn't believe it. He was in another pack. Laying his head down he licked his paw a bit his eyes drooping. After fighting off the sleep for a while he gave in to it and let the darkness take over.

*Dream*

Yugi ran as fast as he could. He was dead if he didn't get back to the safety of the pack. He couldn't defend himself from an alpha. Finding a hole under the roots of a tilting tree he hid in it hoping he wouldn't be sniffed out.

"Yuuugiii." Dartz sang out coldly. "Come out come out wherever you are."

Yugi gulped and stayed where he was.

"Come on son." Dartz called.

Yugi heard his paws padding across the woods coming closer. He curled up against the back of the hole as much as he could. He was just about to run when Atem appeared in front of the hole.

"Atem!" He jumped out and ran to him. Ducking behind him he was glad Atem was here to protect him from Dartz.

"Yugi." Dartz looked and smirked. "You believe he'll protect you? Oh no no no. He came to give you to me."

Yugi's eyes widened and he looked up at Atem to find him having a similar smirk to Dartz. He grabbed Yugi and threw him against the tree. Yugi let out a yelp before collapsing to the ground. They started walking towards him.

Yugi whimpered. "No please! Leave me alone!"

Dartz growled and lunged.

*End dream*

Yugi jumped awake panting. He looked around and found himself back in the room with food sitting waiting to be eaten.

He looked over himself. He was still wolf but completely healed. He had to wonder how long he was out.

There was a soft knock before the door cracked open before Atem peered in. Yugi gulped and tried to forget the dream he just had.

"Yugi." Atem came in. "I um can we talk?"

Yugi just nodded.

Atem sat down in a chair in the corner of the room. "About...about yesterday."

"Yesterday? I've been out since yesterday?" Yugi asked eye wide.

Atem nodded. "Yes. How are you feeling?"

"Really thirsty." Yugi went under the covers on the bed and changed to his human form before poking his head out. He wrapped the blanket around him before sitting up. He took the glass of water and drank it down.

"Um yesterday when you came to help me," he paused. "I didn't get to thank you. You came for me even after all I did for you. No one's ever done that sort of thing."

Yugi looked at him then away and shrugged. "I just did what anyone would."

"No Yugi you didn't. Anyone else would have run once they got the chance. They would have left my pack to defend itself." Atem said. "Yugi I am so SO sorry for what I did to you. I can't apologize enough for it."

Yugi looked at him. He didn't know what to say in response to that. Atem just apologized and he never expected it.

"I understand if you don't want to forgive me right now." Atem said standing up again. He turned to leave.

"Atem wait." Yugi blurted.

Atem stopped and turned back to him.

"Um thank you. F-for accepting me in your pack i mean." Yugi said softly.

Atem gave a small nod. "Eat. You're too thin." he said before leaving the room.

Yugi looked at the food. He let out a breath before he started eating. He didn't know what would happen from now on but one thing was fr certain. Dartz wasn't going to rest till he killed Yugi.
