chapter 20
-yuki's p.o.v-
i looked around the room, the shack the headmaster has told me i have to spend the full moons, he even told me i must take the wolfbane potion. i sighed putting my head back down on my paws there is nothing to do here, thinking back over the last week since my sorting. i let out a whimper, why did my parents have to make me come here, i let out a growl. it's all his fault if he didn't open his mouth no one would know i was a werewolf, but no the chosen one who knows i'm a wolf had to tell every one, all because i turned him down once.
my head snapped up hearing claws on wood, i narrowed my eyes at the floor above me letting out a growl only for it to freeze in my chest seeing the thing move out into the light. over six foot at the shoulder body built to kill fur midnight black, eyes a blood red looking down at me, this hound is a demon even without the extra you can tell this beast is not of the mortal world. bone like armour lined his torso following his ribs and collar bone, bone gauntlets on his front legs smaller ones on his hind legs, bone like earrings three in each ear, a blood red stone cradled between the bone armour at his collar, two horns curved back from the top of his head before curving round to follow his snout. spikes run down his back from the base of the skull to his tail witch ended in three wicked looking hooked spikes, the last a large pair of dragon like wings tucked into his sides.
i lowered my head trying to make myself smaller to this demon, this hell hound a royal hound, why is it my heart skipping a beat as i looked to this alpha. i heard him shift before something heavy settled down on the old wood, i risked a glance seeing the hound lead down at the top of the stairs head on his paws eyes closed "not going to hurt you little one" he said to me opening a single eye.
i did not lower my eyes a second time feeling okay looking him in the eyes "do i know you" i asked, his eye flashed then blanked before i could pick out the feelings "maybe in another life, i am the Guardian of these grounds" he replied. i felt my eyes widen "the Guardian, the one who ran with the founders" i asked, he let out a barking laugh that i swear i've heard before maybe a dream "i did not run with them i raised them the brats saw me as a father an adopted sire" he replied.
i watched him close his eye as i thought back on his words "your human" i breathed, he chuckled opening his left eye pinning me with a look "yes, i have been reborn" he told me before getting to his feet. i held still as he moved down the stairs till he stood in front of me crouching down so we were almost nose to nose "will you go hunting with me little wolf" he asked.
i held my breath, did he, did this alpha asked me to join him on a hunt, i nodded as he stepped back. i stood noticing my height barely reached his chin, he moved to my side moving his wing to cover me, my very soul cried out at the power that surrounded us.
what was that, why, i looked around us seeing the forest, the alpha king moved away from me "come along little wolf" he said heading into the trees.
i blinked sleepy as the hound took me back to the shack before sun rise "what do i call you" i asked as he turned to leave, he looked down at me "what ever you wish, till you find out my human form" he replied. i gave a small wolf like grin before rubbing my head under his chin as a name came to mind "shade will do for now" i told him, i heard the intake of breath before i was nudged over to my robes "that's okay little wolf" he said before fading into the shadows.

i could not keep the grin off my face as i joined the others for breakfast after leaving Yuki, i got a raised brow from most of the crew "what you so happy about" Sanji asked giving me an evil eye since i pranked him yesterday hence his hair being a lovely shade of pale green "she may remember, do not push her" i replied. Rose looked between us as the others smiled at the news "umm is everything alright" she asked, i smiled at my baby sister reaching across taking her hand kissing the palm them holding the limb to my cheek "everything is fine, one of out lost is here in the school but she has no memory of her past life. we can not push her to remember as it could damage her mind so we must wait and see if she gets her memories back" i told her.
she bushed her fingers over the scars on my check "is she one of your crew" she asked, i gave a bright smile to my cleaver baby sister "yes, my heart and soul" i whispered feeling my heart and very soul lighten at those words. her eyes widen before a cheeky grin worked its way onto her face "who is my future sister-in-law" she asked, the crew chucked before Nami threw her arm around the younger girl waving a finger at her "oh no we're not telling maybe if she gets her memories back" she told the girl who huffed at us.
i watched from the corner of my eye as my little snow wolf made her way into the hall slowly still in pain from last nights transformation. she sat at the end of the red table near the teachers, those closest to her moved away, I've heard the rumors going around the ones only holding a small part of the truth. really the only thing true is she is a werewolf, all started by the runt that is my younger blood brother, i held in a growl looking at little JJ who had a sneer on his face as did my ex-sire who is the new duelling professor both looking to the little wolf. looking at her now i can see she will not be much taller that her was last life only reaching 5ft, i sighed getting up might as well get this over with.
i moved passed my light on the way to the staff table towards my godfather, i stood in front of him. he looked up from the homework he's marking "yes wolf" he asked. i held in a smirk that no one knows the name i've chosen for a family name, "that potion, you told me about, the one that will restore my eye" i replied. i have my eye in my other form but not my human form "i can brew it but it will take time to get all the ingredients" he told me, i huffed locking my one eye with his two "i can get them to you within two days i don't take from hunts i go on, just the bounty on the heads, i only need to send a email to the guild and they will get me the ingredients i need" i told him back. he nodded before gabbing a spare bit of parchment and writing down all he needs, i looked across all the teachers watching us of all the teachers only the two potters and Albus hate me. i took the parchment held out to me looking down at the list "three days" i told my godfather before turning and leaving the hall.
