A/N: Sorry it took me so long to update. Thanks for all the reviews!
The adults stopped to watch as Harry, Fenrir, and Remus entered the clearing. All of them trying to get a better look at the boy who would become their alphas mate, the boy who had ruined their lives.
Harry was too busy watching the other children play tag to take notice of the curios and hostile looks being directed his way. But Fenrir noticed and let out a warning growl that caused the others to turn back to what they had been doing before they were distracted.
One female stood away from the others in the cover of the shadows that were cast by the trees. Her own hostile gaze was unnoticed by those around her. That scrawny thing is trying to replace me? The thought caused a laugh to build up in her throat. Fenrir will be back in my bed before the week is over. She turned her attention away from the trio as they passed her. It still has to pay for the humiliation I have suffered. She thought as she watched two young girls point at her before giggling.
Fenrir bent over to pick Harry up, it was time for his mate to join the pack and to do that Fenrir would have to introduce the boy to every member of the pack. Just as he was about to begin he noticed that Luther was walking towards him. As he got closer Fenrir noticed the worried expression on his face.
"What's the problem?" Fenrir said the words as quietly as possible so that only the Beta could hear him.
"The wizards are getting closer to our pack." Luther said this just as quietly, not wanting the pack to panic.
Fenrir was not shocked to hear this news. The pack had been at the cave for three months, they were usually found within two months.
"How close?"
"Twelve miles. What are we going to do?"
Fenrir nodded his head and began to think about what to do. He sat Harry down on the ground and looked out at his pack.
"We will gather the few wizards we have and take them to place wards further out. The pack will begin to gather anything that can be carried and we will leave tonight. The wards should warn us if anyone gets to close and keep the wizards occupied long enough to give us a head start."
"Why are we waiting until tonight?"
Fenrir looked at Luther sharply.
"Are you questioning my orders?" The question came out in a low, deadly tone.
Luther rushed to make amends. "No, of course not!"
"We will leave at night because we can see in the dark and the wizards cannot, they have to use their wands which will only let them see so far. This will give us an advantage over them. Now go get the wizards in our pack and wait for me by the lake while I find something to do with Harry."
Fenrir turned to look down at Harry, who was watching the children play.
"Harry," He waited for the boy to turn and face him. "Lupin and I have to go away for awhile so you are going to be staying with someone else."
"Who?"
Fenrir looked around until his eyes landed on a woman who was watching the children play. He took Harry's hand and led him over to the woman.
Harry had to jog to keep up with Fenrir's long strides and as Fenrir noticed this he slowed down. When they stopped Harry looked up at woman who had black hair and kind, amber eyes. She was looking down at him with a kind smile and Harry shyly smiled back.
"Harry, this is Storm and she will watch you while I am gone." Fenrir turned to Storm. "Keep him safe."
Or you will suffer. It was a silent threat but she heard it as if it was spoken out loud. She nodded her head.
Fenrir looked at Harry one last time before walking over to Remus and explaining what was happening. Harry watched as the two men walked in the direction of the lake and only turned away when he could no longer see them.

Harry felt someone touch his shoulder and turned to face them while pulling back from the touch. He found himself facing a boy about his age. He was taller than Harry, who had to tilt his head back to look the boy in the eye.
"I'm Rain. Who are you?"
"I'm Harry."
"Do you want to play with us?" Rain asked, waving his hand to indicate the children playing tag.
"No." A woman's voice interrupted before Harry could answer.
Rain turned to Storm ."Please,mom."
"Why not?"
"He's been sick. Running around would not be good for him right now."
Harry looked down at his feet.
"Fine!" Rain pulled on Harry's arm and dragged him over to a deserted spot where he sat down.
Harry sat down beside him and they began to talk.

When Fenrir came back to the clearing two hours later he found his mate sitting next Rain, he was laughing and they were both talking excitedly. After deciding that Harry was okay he turned away to talk to Luther.
"Tell the other adults to begin to gather anything that they can carry." He looked at the sky, which was becoming dark. "We'll leave in an hour."
He walked over to Harry and was standing over the boy before Harry noticed he was there. When Harry did notice that Fenrir was there he jumped up to wrap his arms around him in a hug. Rain watched in astonishment as the alpha hugged Harry and listened as Harry talked excitedly.
"Fenrir, I have my first real friend!"
"You do?"
"Yep!"
Fenrir looked down at Rain. "Go find your mom. She'll be looking for you in a few minutes."
Rain jumped to his feet "Bye, Harry." He ran towards his mom's voice before Harry could answer.
Harry watched as adults began to gather their children and small objects.
"What's going on?"
"We're leaving."
Before Harry could ask any questions Fenrir began to talk.
"Since you cannot change into your wolf form yet, you will ride on my back. You will have to lay down and wrap your arms and legs around my body very tightly or you could fall off."
Harry nodded his head.
"Where are we going?"
Fenrir had no real answer for this very important question and instead gave a vague but honest answer. "Somewhere else."
He watched as his pack scrambled to collect what they could and when there was no longer a ray of sun in the sky he watched as his pack became wolves. He changed and let Harry climb onto his back before he began to run. His only thought was for the safety of his mate and the safety of his pack. Hopefully we will find shelter far away from here before the wizards find out we have left.
