Howling for Mates by Boogermeister

Chapter 4

Yugi slowly woke up, yawning softly. He heard heartbeats; he suddenly realized his head was resting on Atem's chest. He snuggled closer to the tanned werewolf and fell back alseep. Moments later, Atem woke up and glanced at sleeping Yugi. He smiled as he slowly slid off the bed and put on a black silk bathrobe. "What a precious mate you are," he whispered as he leaned down to kiss the teen, who squirmed slightly in his sleep.

Atem chuckled softly as he left the room. "Was it a fun night, Atem?" a cold voice said quietly behind Atem, who turned around and saw it was Seto; he was wearing a navy-blue pajama pants and nothing else. "Well, was it fun?" Seto asked as he wrapped his arms around the smaller werewolf.

"It was amazing, Seto," Atem smirked. "He was more than willing to sleep with me. How did it go with your mate?"

"He was too resistant with me, so I bit him on the shoulder," replied Seto. Atem slightly frowned as he pushed the brunette away.

"That was too soon, Seto," he said quietly as they walked through the hallways. "You should have let your mate be accustomed with you. Couldn't you wait a week to turn him?"

"No, he kept hitting me the entire time," replied Seto. The then went downstairs and into the living room; the large room was full of dark violet and black furnitures. They sat in the black leathered couch and Atem sighed.

"Was he good, Seto?" he asked, smirking.

"It could have been a little better," replied Seto. "But I'll get used to him. Right now, I want to relax here." Atem leaned beside him.

"You just want to be with me," he smirked. "If you want to have me, as usual, you could have said so." He then kissed Seto on the lips as he loosened his bathrobe.

"All right, then," Seto smirked as they laid down on the couch.

Ryou winced as he tried to sat up; he still feeling dull pain in his lower back. He then glanced at the bondage on his wrists before looking at Bakura, who was snoring softly as he slept. "Um . . . . Bakura," Ryou said quietly. The werewolf snorted in his sleep.

"B-Bakura, are you awake?" Ryou said a little louder. Bakura grunted as he opened his eyes. He wearily glared at Ryou as he sat up.

"What is it?" he groaned as he scratched through his jagged hair.

"Uh, I was wondering . . . . if you could untie this for me," muttered Ryou as he held his wrists out. Bakura grunted in annoyance as he untied the leather straps. Ryou moved his arms around freely as the werewolf laid back down.

"Now leave me alone," mumbled Bakura. "I prefer to sleep through the day with no disturbance." Ryou cautiously got off the bed and put on his boxers and shirt. "Uh, Bakura, where's the kitchen?" he asked quietly.

"Where do you think? It's downstairs," Bakura growled as he put the sheets over his head. "Go away before I maimed you." Ryou hastily walked out of the room. It was like a labyrinth before the pale teenager finally found the stairs. He walked downstairs and again got lost in the puzzling hallways.

Suddenly, Ryou heard faint noises from a nearby set of doors that was slightly opened. He slowly walked towards the doors and peeked inside. He then quickly glanced away, blushing in embarrassment; what he saw was Atem and Seto having sex on the couch as they groaned in extasy. Ryou started to walked away when the noises stopped suddenly.

"Bakura's mate saw us," Atem chuckled quietly. "We should stop now."

"Yeah, we should," Seto replied. Seconds later, they walked out of the room and saw stunned Ryou. "Good morning," smiled Atem, tying his bathrobe sash.

"I-I'm sorry for looking!" Ryou stammered as he stepped backward.

"Do you like what you saw?" smirked Atem. That made Ryou's face bright red. "Never mind that, tell me what you're trying to find."

"Uh, um, the kitchen," Ryou replied timidly.

"I'll take you there, come on," Atem said before they walked down the hallway, leaving Seto to go upstairs. The brunette then walked into a dark neutral-colored bedroom and then towards the bed. Underneath the stormy sheets was Jonouchi, who was sleeping seemingly peacefully.

"Mutt, get up now!" commanded Seto. Immediately, Jonouchi woke up and glared at the werewolf. "What the hell do you want?" he asked rudely.

"Why didn't you get out of bed, mutt?" questioned Seto as he reached for the teen, but Jonouchi squirmed out of the way. "Even after I turned you, you're still resistant?" he mumbled to himself he suddenly ripped away the sheets. Jonouchi flinched as the cold air hit his naked body, his clothes must have been discarded from last night when he was blacked out.

"What the fuck did you do with my clothes, you freak?!" yelled Jonouchi, trying to cover himself with his hands.

"I threw them away, they're no use," Seto flatly replied as he sat on the bed. "Never mind them. We have an important business to finish."

"What business?"

"The one from last night, mutt," smirked Seto. Jonouchi gasped as he accidently fell off the bed backward. Seto sighed in annoyance as he stood up. "Just forget it," he muttered. "I'll get you some clothes and see to it that you do wear them."

"Fine, then I will find my friends and get the hell out of here," Jonouchi said angrily, sitting away from Seto's view. The brunette chuckled quietly. "Whatever you say, mutt," he said quietly.

Malik drowsily woke up after rays of sunlight hit his face. "It's morning already . . . .?" he mumbled. "Just five more minutes . . ." He was just about to close his eyes when he suddenly heard soft snoring by his ear. Senses came to him; he instantly remembered what had happened last night. Malik turned his head and gasped as he sat up.

Marik was sleeping next to him, his head was buried in the pillows which muffled his growl-like snores. "I better get outta here," Malik muttered as he cautiously got off the bed, but he fell onto the floor as he winced at the pain. "Ow," he said softly. "Stupid werewolf."

"Pretty mate?"

Malik stiffened on the spot; Marik woke up, glancing at the tanned boy in confusion. "Why are you on the floor, pretty mate?" he asked as he sat up.

"I was trying to get away from you," muttered Malik as he glared at him. "What you did was terrible and awful." He stood up when suddenly he saw Marik whimpering and whining like a hurt puppy.

"I didn't mean to hurt you," whined Marik, "but you shouldn't be so mean about it!" Within seconds, he dashed past Malik and ran out of the room. Malik was dumbfounded of what had just happened. "Is he a vicious monster or a whiney brat?" he questioned quietly.

Atem observed Ryou going back and forth around the kitchen as he stood against the wall. The pale teenager took out anything for breakfast and started cooking. "Have you ever had time to cook?" Atem asked curiously.

"Yeah, I sort of live by myself while my father and sister are at the other side of the country," Ryou replied.

"Why is that?"

"Well, my sister's in college and my father works in a company that pays better there than here. He said I could still live in Domino City, but sometimes . . . . it gets lonely in my home, so I have to do things for myself.

"You sound just like Yugi," sighed Atem. Ryou glanced at him quickly before looking back at the eggs and bacons in the frying pan. Just then, Marik ran into kitchen and sat at the square table with his face buried into his arms."What's wrong now, Marik?" Atem sighed as he walked up to the tanned werewolf.

"Pretty mate doesn't like me!" Marik muffled childishly. He's mean; I thought I was doing something good, but he didn't like it and he don't like me!"

"Acting like a baby won't get him to know you," Atem said. "What happened with both of you last night?"

"I slept with pretty mate and he didn't like it," muffled Marik.

"And he hurt your feelings?" questioned Atem.

"Yeah, because I hurt hiim," replied Marik. "I didn't mean to hurt him."

"I know you didn't," Atem sighed. "I'll see if I can talk to him. I hope you didn't paralyzed him." He then left the kitchen, leaving Marik to whine like a puppy. Ryou kept glancing at the werewolf for a while. He scooped the eggs and bacons onto a plate.

"Um . . . . hello," Ryou said softly as he sat across from Marik, who then raised his head and looked at him with curiosity. "Um, my name's Ryou."

"You're pretty mate's friend, aren't you?" asked Marik. Ryou nodded in response. "Why is he so mean?"

"He's not so mean," replied Ryou as he picked up a fork. "He just has a hard time meeting people sometimes. Are you hungry?"

"Yeah!" Marik yelped happily as he immediately grabbed Ryou's plate and munched greedily on the food. "This is very good!" he exclaimed, accidently splitting bits of food.

"Yeah, it should be . . . ." Ryou said quietly and sighed as he looked away from the unmannered werewolf.

Malik stared across the room at Atem, who merely smirked. It's been ten minutes and the tanned teenager was already pissed at the sight of the alpha werewolf. "Come on, it's been minutes you hadn't said a damn word!" Malik yelled angrily. "Why are you here anyway?!"

Atem chuckled quietly at his outburst. "My friend Marik's feelings was hurt by your ranting," he said as he took a few steps closer. "He's a member of my pack and I can't allow a mere human insult him. Now go downstairs and apologize to him."

"Apologize?! After what he done?!" yelled Malik as he suddenly stood up. "He violated me and I have to say sorry?! I won't do it!"

Atem's eyebrows twitched in agitaion, but he suddenly chuckled. "You're lucky you're my mate's friend or else I would have you mauled to death," he smiled, showing his pearly-white fangs. Malik slightly flinched at the sight.

"Where's Yugi, anyway?" demanded the tanned teenager. "Did you hurt him?"

"No, I didn't," Atem flatly replied. "That reminds me, he should be awake by now." The werewolf left the room, leaving Malik to sigh in relief.

What's wrong with this? thought the Egyptian teen. That Marik guy is freakishly odd. First he's aggressive and scary and the next he's childis and whiney. Malik sighed as he sat down and pulled his knees up to his chest. He had never liked being lonely; he and his older sister, Ishizu, had been in foster care after their neglectful father couldn't take care of them. He was nine when they were taken away and was already emotionally insensitive, only acted tough to shelled his true feelings

They lived ina foster home until Ishizu was old enough to take care of him. But a couple of years ago, when they moved to Japan, his sister has to go back to Egypt to run a museum. That left Malik all alone, even wtih friends. "I'll apologize when he comes back . . . ." he huffed. " . . . . maybe."

Suddenly, Yugi walked in, obviously wearing an oversized T-shirt. "Malik?" he said as he walked up to the tanned teenager. "Atem told me what happened. Are you okay?"

"Uh, yeah, I'm okay, Yugi," Malik quickly answered. Yugi frowned at his friend and sat next to him. "Malik, you don't have to lie," he said. "I know you're hurt. I'll tell Atem how you feel. Is that okay?"

"Sure, Yugi," replied Malik. "Uh, Yugi . . . why do you like this Atem guy? He took you from your home and held you captive here? Aren't you scared?"

"Barely," answered Yugi, "but I'm concerned about Jonouchi and Ryou."

"Me, too."
