Hey everyone sorry about the delay still waiting to get my laptop yet but until then I will use a computer on campus.

Chapter 4

We walked outside and I noticed that we were actually in a forest. There were small cottages all around. I thought they had to be for the families who lived together. Liora pointed towards the group of men "These are the warriors they are also the mates of some pack members, their job is to hunt for food." They all stood proud sharpening the weapons. "The women take care of the children and do the cooking" Liora explained.

A question struck my mind "Why are there only specific jobs because of gender?" Liora shook her head it is more the matter of dominant and submissive, there is one woman who was born dominant" she pointed far off "That is Makeda she is the first female dominant in a hundred years." Now I understood it all. "So how do you know what you are?" I asked

"Little one you will find that all wolves know what a pack member is when they join or are born." I looked at her curiously "So am I a dominant or submissive Liora?" She smiled gently "Sorry Fenrir ordered us not to tell you until you are formally introduced."

Butterflies filled my stomach, I was nervous to be introduced and find where I belong in the pack. Later on that evening I was sitting in a chair in front of everyone. They all stared at me with curiosity or unease. I watched as Fenrir stood up "Welcome my pack, tonight we are joining Harry Potter into our family." Fenrir looked at me "First we must give him a new name." He turned towards me hovering right over me "I have thought this over and have chosen Zain" he then sat down. I stood up facing my new pack "I want to know where I belong in the pack."

Fenrir shot Liora a glare then turned away and started eating. I started to feel so frustrated. I had escaped a house that held secrets from me to end back in the same position again. I slammed my chair away it landing with an echo as the legs broke off. I glared at Fenrir and walked away.

Before I could even get a half a distance away a hand grabbed me by the back of the neck. I tried to hit them before I realized it was Fenrir who was now looking at me angrily. "You do not embarrass me cub in front of everyone and get away with it. I was going to let you get use to things around here but now I won't." He threw me into Liroa's arms "Prepare him to work make sure he knows what to do by tomorrow morning."

We were back in the room we first started in. I sat there staring at Liora while she talked. I didn't hear one word she said, I was angry at Fenrir I trusted him, I felt betrayed. The coldness in Fenrir's eyes sent a sharp pain toward my heart. I didn't understand.

"ZAIN!" Liora screamed. I zoned back in she looked at me with such sadness. "Yes Liora" I spoke "Were you paying attention" she asked. She sighed when I shook my head. This time I did pay attention. I realized this was my fate. I got myself into this trouble there was nothing to do but accept it.

Liora showed me to the cottage that stood next to a bigger one. "That is the Alpha's home" she explained. Great I thought I had to live next to the one person who would make my life a living hell. "Goodnight Liora" I started opening the door.

"Wait Zain" Liora called out and I froze "Things will get better I promise." I looked at her and smiled, I wondered if she had been born into this or was she like me who had been confused and scared at first. I left her at the door to get some sleep.

The next morning I was shown to the area where I would be working. Abena is the head woman. She gives us all the jobs for the day. I walk up silently as Abena stares at me. "You will be gathering the fruit for the day I want ten baskets full, don't return until it's done" she explained stiffly. I glared at her and walked outside. The fruit trees stood at the end of the forest.

I climbed up the tree and started picking the fruit then throwing them down into the basket. After the first basket I tried to climb down, when I felt my foot slip and I started falling. I closed my eyes waiting to hit the ground. I never did. I then opened my eyes to see the last person I wanted to...Fenrir. "Are you alright Cub?" He asked me as I jumped down from his arms "Why do you even care?" I whispered.

He sighed and turned away from me "You will understand soon Zain." I glared at the ground "Understand what Fenrir that my new way of life is just as bad as my other one. Others give me dirty looks just because I stood up to their alpha. How you want to keep me under your thumb just like Dumbledore. Stop me when I get close."

Fenrir glared at me "Zain you will learn in this pack I am Alpha, no one questions what I say or do. Just because you have not had a pleasant life does not mean we will change our ways for you." I watched as he walked away from me. I felt angry yet sad that he was treating me this way.

The full moon was tomorrow. This was going to be my very first transformation and I was terrified. "Zain" I turned to see Alfred "Yes" I spoke as I climbed up the next tree. "What are you doing" he asked. I rolled my eyes "What does it look like I am doing, I am helping gathering up the food." I looked down at him "if you're going to keep talking to me come up here and help."

Alfred and I got done in half the time it would have taken me. So I decided to sit around for a little while. Alfred decided to keep me company, he was a dominant. He said there was only one other submissive like me which was Hiram. He also explained how all the other kids ignored the poor kid. I could see Alfred felt for us submissive. "Our fathers teach us that submissive are only to be told what to do and how to act unless they are our mates" Alfred explained.

"Fenrir talks to me" I mentioned. Alfred looked away fast "Is there something I should know Alfred?" I asked him. He sighed "Look Zain the Alpha doesn't want anyone talking to you without permission, I think your something special"

I did not know what could make me special. "Wait the only reason others will not talk to me is because... because he told them not to" I screamed. I was angry Fenrir was trying to dictate everything in my life.

"Alfred" we turned to see Liora "Leave you're not supposed to be here" she said. Alfred stood up and ran away. I glared at the ground. I seemed to be doing that alot lately. Fate just loves to mess with me. Liora sat next to me. "Why are you allowed to talk to me" I asked her. She smiled "Fenrir trusts me because I already have a mate and I am also a submissive." I asked once again "Why is Fenrir so protective over me?" I looked her in the eyes. "I am sorry Zain I cannot answer that question you have to figure that one out on your own."

I stood up "Just like always" I sighed. I walked back picking up three baskets. No one had the right to tell me what I am or am not allowed to do. After getting all the baskets back I sat with all the kids. They smiled and ran around when I noticed one boy sitting all by himself. He must be Hiram I thought. I walked over and sat next to him "Hey" He shyly looked up and smiled "Hi" he responded. "You must be Hiram, Alfred told me about you" Hiram nodded silently "He is the only one who will talk to me."

Something crossed in my mind. What if Alfred was Hiram's mate? They were both too young to notice. That was the reason Alfred cared about Hiram's feelings. "Alfred is a nice boy" I said as I put my arm around Hiram. I looked down at him "We may be the only two male submissive but that does not mean we have to act like it." Hiram looked at me confused "You mean act like a dominant?" He sounded scared. I laughed "That's what I mean, you and I are treated lower and more careful than other men it's not right." Hiram nodded and cuddled up beside me I knew then I would protect him.

It was time for the pack to gather. Liora and I stood together with the kids. Hiram and Alfred stood at my side. I was an outsider with the rest of the women. All the dominates stood in the front with Fenrir. They were ready to protect the others.

As the moon started to rise I noticed a difference immediately. A presence within me that I had never felt before. I gasped as the wolf tried to possess me. I tried to push it back as I started to feel my bones try to reshape, I screamed in pain, I felt like I was being torn into two.

Fenrir was next to me, I could see he was struggling not to turn for me. "Zain you have to stop trying to control your wolf. Merge with him and the pain will fade." I whimpered as another shot of pain went through me. I closed my eyes and searched and there I found him. He looked like me. With Amber eyes and sharp nails. He attacked me and I side stepped him "We need to work together." The wolf froze staring at me "No more caging me?" I shook my head "No more."

When I opened my eyes I was the wolf. I saw huge paws in front of me; I looked up and saw the wolf from my dreams. Fenrir had been the one I was dreaming about. My wolf called to him. Fenrir licked my face. I realized then why Fenrir had been protective of me. I was his mate...No I am his mate.

A brown wolf a little smaller than me walked up to my side. I knew immediately that it was Hiram. I couldn't stay in the pack knowing the one I was fated for hated me. My wolf whimpered at that thought. I growled at Hiram pointing toward the forest. He started to walk in front of me. I heard Fenrir growl and I looked back sadly. I barked at Hiram and he and I ran, I was directly behind him.
