A/N – I also forgot to mention this is a supernatural fanfic, as in the Uchiha family are wolves (not werewolves, but actual wolves that can shapeshift between human and wolf), Sakura is a mortal with witch blood in her.

Itachi sat in the chair by the window, his gaze leveled on Sakura's sleeping body. She had been right tonight, Sasuke should have been killed and not handed over to the Interrogation Unit, this was going to backfire and bite them all in the ass. He sighed softly before making his way to the bed and shedding his clothes from the day and slipping into the bed and pulling Sakura into his arms.
She sighed softly before becoming slightly conscious of his presence. "Itachi...are you alright? Your chakra is erratic, almost as if you are in turmoil right now" she said softly, her head lifting slightly to meet his gaze with her own emerald one. She maneuvered him so he was lying on his stomach while she traced patterns along his back, enhancing the relaxation technique with her chakra to help sleep find him more easily.
She smiled when after a few minutes his soft breathing making it obvious he fell asleep, she moved to the side of the bed and got up and donned a robe, before making her way down the stairs to see Shisui sitting on the chair talking softly with Kakashi. She pulled up a chair and sighed, "Itachi is finally asleep, I had to use a chakra technique for that to happen though." Shisui nodded and Kakashi's eyes took on a concerned look.
"Kakashi, leave it alone. Itachi's world is in disarray right now, his brother left his betrothed for dead, and now he apparently came back to attempt to finish the job. Itachi is feeling so bad right now, it is best not to push him on this Kakashi, Especially since he spent his early childhood believing you were dead Shisui, he still has not accepted you are alive even after a few years of you being here. His whole life is messed up right now." Sakura said before she got up and started to prepare herself a tea when she heard shuffling feet above her. She grabbed a lavender tea and after adding a few chamomile leaves to it she set the water on the stove.
"Itachi is up again, most likely a nightmare, I am making him a tea and then retiring for the night. Kakashi you know where the spare rooms are down the guest hall, you and Shishui can stay the night here" she said when the kettle started whistling, she took it off and poured the water into the cup slowly and set it on the back burner before turning with the cup. Upon saying her good nights she made her way up the stairs and into the room she shared with Itachi.
"Itachi, I brought you a cup of tea to help settle your nerves. I know this can't be easy for you, Sasuke is your brother. Your whole life is upside down right now" Sakura set the cup on the table and knelt before him as his eyes seemed lifeless and empty. "Itachi, dont shut me out. Vent, yell, throw things, but dont shut me out" she reached up and cupped his cheek before his gaze fell on her face, eyes softening in recognition.
"I'm sorry Sakura, It was never my intention to cause you worry" he said softly, pulling her up to straddle his lap, smiling when she pushed him to lie back on the bed. His hands slid up her thighs before making their way up her body, removing the robe she put on along with the movement. "So beautiful Sakura" he whispered before he pulled her down to meet her lips gently. She moaned softly when his thumb pressed between her folds to glide up and down her slicked slit. She gasped when his thumb slid inside her snug center.
She ground the heel of her hand along his hardening length, making Itachi grasp her waist with both hands and lifting her so he could press her back among the pillows, with a swift kiss he spun her and placed a pillow beneath her stomach and lifted her hips. He kissed the back of her neck gently before sliding into her body slowly.
"Ah...Itachi..." Her breathless murmurs spurring him on as his hips quickened slightly. Sakura felt Itachi slide deep inside of her, slowly building that familiar pressure she longed for. Sakura felt that familiar itch to release the pent up energies that were colliding within her, but to do so would reveal what she was, to be a witch was a sentence to death. Konoha was a village that prided themselves on being magic free.
She whimpered as her body flowed through the release only he could bring her, Itachi stiffening behind her as she leaned her head down. Upon shifting to lay on his chest, her head resting between his chin and chest she drew lazy circles along his body as his body heat lured her into deep sleep.
She stirred several hours later, feeling unbearably overheated, she turned facing Itachi and came face to face with a furry face. 'Wolf' she thought to herself as she scrambled off the bed, where Itachi went she did not know, she glanced around trying to find clues as to where he went as the wolf on the bed leapt off the mattress and sat at her feet. Sakura's eyes widened when the furry body of the wolf merged into the form of Itachi.
"You...you're a wolf!?" she exclaimed, her loved ones could NOT find out about Itachi, they would start wolf hunts. "Does that mean Sasuke is one as well?" She asked, sighing when he confirmed her question with a nod.
"Explains why he is like a dog with a bone...no offense Itachi" she said as she caught her phrase, noticing Itachi's amused grin. "As for the shifting at night you are lucky I didn't..." she slowly drifted off, she couldn't tell Itachi of her bloodline.
"Didn't hex me Sakura? I knew this whole time what you were. I can smell a witch a mile away, the scent of magic is never truly hidden." Itachi stated softly, his fingertips gliding along her cheek. "Sasuke is the one who truly believes all witches need to burn, it matters not to me what you are. You always accepted me, history and all. How could I do anything less for you?"
Sakura felt his hand cup her cheek, his eyes narrowing when he detected an fluctuation of chakra."Sasuke is attempting to lure me out because I stole what he believes is his. But what he doesn't see is that you were never his, you were not born to be the mate of a beta wolf. You were born to be the mate to an Alpha. My alpha mate to be exact."
"Itachi you can't hope to face him as you are now, troubled and hurting over his actions." Sakura knew Sasuke would not hesitate to kill Itachi to get to her, and if she could help it she would stop Sasuke. "You know he will take advantage of your affections and memories of him and use them to his own advantage to win"
"Sakura, this has to be done. All of our lives I was always better than he was and as a result was treated differently than he was ever treated by our parents, I was the prodigy while he was an embarrassment. I have to make amends for this, and when I come back, we can celebrate with a proper mating where I can make you fully mine." he said softly, his lips brushing hers lightly before taking off.
