As the sun entered the sky Fenrir changed back into his human form with only a twinge of pain. He stood on his feet and stretched his body before reaching down to pick up the feather light body of his mate. He walked deeper into the woods at a fast pace, taking no notice of the fact that he was naked.

He was worried because Harry had not stirred at all since passing out. The fact that Harry's breathing was even had only comforted him slightly and now even that thought was not working to calm his agitated emotions. He wanted to get his mate to the pack, where they would both have much more protection, so that he could find a way to wake him up. The thought of safety caused Fenrir to speed up, now almost running through the woods without making a sound.

He finally reached the clearing where his pack had gathered. The few children that had survived the last ministry attack chased each other in a game of tag. Everyone was in various states of dress, the children were mostly naked, a few adults were also naked but most wore pants and some even wore tops.

The adults stopped to greet their Alpha and when they noticed that he carried a small boy their faces showed the thoughts they would not voice out loud for fear of their lives. They had all learned a long time ago that one did not question the pack leader. This did not stop their thoughts from racing, though, and they were all wondering the same thing.

How could they take care of another child? Did Greyback really expect such a fragile thing to survive in their world? Why would he even bring another child to their pack? He should have just killed it and saved everyone from the trouble of having to keep it fed. When the child is reported missing it will alert the ministry to their whereabouts and put them all in danger.

The only one who did not question the leader was the Beta, Luther, who was the only one close enough to Greyback to understand, at least part, of what had happened.

So Greyback has finally found his mate. He watched as the Alpha carried the boy over to Remus Lupin. This will make the next few days a lot more interesting.

As this last thought entered his head he looked over at a woman who stood at the back of the pack watching Greyback with interest.

The woman was Bella, a newly turned werewolf, who had been… easing… Greyback's sexual frustrations since she had joined the pack. It had started out because she had been just as needy as the Alpha but it had continued because she loved the power it had given her. The rest of the pack had been so careful about how they had treated her for fear of attracting the anger of their leader.

As she watched Greyback walk past the pack, a small boy cradled against his chest, she began to worry. She instinctively knew that this small boy was going to change everything, she just couldn't figure out why he would change everything. She tried to shrug the thought off as ridiculous but it refused to be ignored.

Remus watched as Greyback walked towards him with worry. He had returned to the pack after He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named was killed. When the ministry began to kill any magical creatures they deemed evil, werewolves topping the list, he had known it was just a matter of time before they came after him. With three of his friends dead and another in Azkaban for their deaths, he had no one who would protect him except for his pack.

He had found the pack at their first hide out. The pack no longer trusted him and were disgusted that he could have turned his back on them as easily as he had. They had accepted him back into the pack, only because he could enter the wizarding world without to many problems, as very few people knew he was a werewolf. This was useful when the pack needed potions, food, clothing, and any other essentials that most of the other wizards would not be able to get without attracting attention to themselves. He was watched closely the first year to make sure that he was not going to become a complete traitor and when he did not try to contact the ministry they began to trust him.

Even when he earned the packs trust he was never completely accepted because no one could forget how he had turned his back on them. He was ignored by most until they needed something and he spent his time remembering the friends he had lost and the little cub with dark black hair and shining green eyes. Remus hoped that the sweet little boy was being cared for and loved, as he should be.

This was the first time, since the day that he had joined the pack, that Greyback had actually acknowledged that he was there. Remus wondered what would cause the Alpha to seek him out. Then he noticed the child that the Alpha was carrying and thought that this child must be the reason for it.

Fenrir stopped before Lupin. He hated what he was about to do but it was the only thing he knew of that would wake his mate up.

"Wake him up."

He refused to ask and as the Alpha of the pack there was no need to for him to ask. The others either did what he told them or they got their butts kicked... then they did what he told them to do. When he noticed Remus' bewildered expression he took a deep breath.

"He won't wake up so you are going to do whatever is needed to get him up."

He said this patiently as if explaining something to a child. When Remus moved to take Harry out of his arms Fenrir let out a growl.

"You will not touch him!"

"I need to touch him if you want me to find out what is stopping him from getting up." Remus said this softy for fear of raising the alphas anger.

Fenrir looked down at Harry, who was still in his deep sleep, and then reluctantly handed him over to Remus. Remus looked at the boy, who was now in his arms, taking note of how thin he was, almost as if the child skipped many meals. When he saw the lighting shaped scar on the boy's forehead he was shocked.

This boy, who looked to be five, was actually the seven-year-old cub that he had thought he would never see again. He held Harry closer to his chest, remembering the little one year old that would run to hug him when he would visit James and Lily. Remus heard the deep rumbling coming from Greybacks chest and looked up into the Alphas angry, amber eyes. That's when he knew why the Alpha had brought Harry to the pack.

His little cub was the mate of Fenrir Greyback.
