Chapter 3

It had been two years since then. Jasdevi could now change into his wolf form thanks to Lavi's teachings, and he knew how to hunt though he was still learning a lot about pack life, but he actually enjoyed it, practically all the wolves even accepted him as part of the pack. His thirst rarely got in the way, since it was easily quenched and he had made several friends as well. He was now twenty, in human years, and was still under Lavi's care because he wasn't ready to be on his own just like his other friends were still in the care of their parents. But at least he wasn't treated like a pup anymore. Well, Lavi still called him Pup and treated him a bit like a pup, but he found that quite usual and comforting.

It was currently winter. One of the coldest according to Lavi and food was very, very, scarce. It was very hard to get food. The blood levels were low making it more painful for Jasdevi. He had even resorted to drinking his own blood, though it wasn't good at all. But it gave him a little bit of substance. It made him grow desperate as his teeth ached. The lack of blood was making him feel ill and weak. Lavi seemed to be getting worried about him as he got weaker.

At the moment Jasdevi was sitting in the den against the wall, fighting back his thirst. Lavi looked at him worriedly. "We should hunt, why don't you shift into your wolf form," Lavi said, he was in his own wolf form and he nudged Jasdevi's arm. He wasn't so sure he could at the moment, his body feeling weak and his fangs burning with his thirst. "C'mon, get up, the sooner we get prey, the sooner you can drink some blood, alright?" Lavi urged. Jasdevi nodded weakly, trying to stand. But he failed, his legs giving way under him. "Shift, it'll be easier," Lavi instructed anxiously. Jasdevi nodded, and focused the last of his energy on shifting into a wolf, he felt his body morph, he was still shorter than Lavi as a wolf. He took a few steps and failed again. He'd never gone this long without blood. Lavi attempted to support him. Lifting him up by his scruff in attempt to bring him out. It didn't work. Jasdevi was simply too weak to do anything. Lavi set him down gently and paced back and forth, looking like he was trying to find an idea of how he could help Jasdevi, then he yelped suddenly, and lifted his paw.

The scent of blood came to Jasdevi's nose. His vampire side took over, making him shift into human form and bare his fangs, his eyes glowing crimson. Lavi was taken by surprise when Jasdevi pounced upon him and sank his teeth into the red wolf's flesh. He drank the delicious blood, feeling his thirst becoming less. He felt Lavi squirm underneath him and cry out in pain. That only drove him further, drinking the crimson liquid. His thirst slowly quenching as the wolf under him soon grew still. He pulled back, his breath coming in deep pants. His eyes soon turned their normal molten gold.

It was then he realized what he had just done. Grief struck him as he saw the motionless body of his guardian, limp on the floor. Fear soon made its way into the grief. What had he done? He didn't know what to do. He felt himself shift into wolf once more, his wolf side grieving for his packmate. Jasdevi whimpered and ducked down in a submissive crawl and crawled towards Lavi and nudged him gently with his black nose. "L-Lavi." He whimpered He nudged him again. No response. He felt tears coming. Was he dead? Had he unknowingly killed him? "P-please wake up… Lavi… Wake up…" He pleaded, whimpering as he curled around his unresponsive guardian. "I'm sorry..." He whimpered, sniffing as he began to cry.

He nuzzled his cheek over Lavi's shoulder, as if trying to wake him up. Lavi remained unresponsive. Then the movement of his sides caused Jasdevi to peer over. He was breathing. Lavi was alive! Thank god. "Lavi!" He pleaded, nuzzling against him. Lavi didn't respond, but at least he was alive. He nuzzled against him, happy that he hadn't killed his guardian. He licked the wound he had created on Lavi's neck, trying to staunch the blood. He managed to stop the blood flow after a while. He sniffed again, muttering repeated apologies under his breath.

"Jasdevi." The voice of Komui came from the entrance. He jolted in terror, looking up at the navy blue wolf. "You have hurt your pack mate and have broken our code. I'm sorry, but the rules of the packs say I have to punish you, I am very sorry." He nodded slowly, fear pounding through him. "Please make this easier on yourself and don't fight back," Komui pleaded. Jasdevi nodded again. Even though he had been away from the vampires for two years, his old mistress had trained him to accept punishment. Even if it killed him. He was not to complain. But take it like a good boy… Komui stepped forward and spring at him, his teeth sinking into Jasdevi's flesh, and he shook him about, though not as roughly as he could. Jasdevi didn't cry out, didn't make any noises. He knew perfectly well he deserved this and he had no right to complain. He winced as he felt Komui's teeth tear flesh away. But Jasdevi noticed a difference between the way Komui punished him, and how the vampires did. They did it because they wanted to and showed it, but Komui was punishing him because he had to trying his best not to be too harsh. Jasdevi also noticed that there were only reasonable punishable offences, whereas the vampires were strict and harsh to their servants.

The pain was agonizing, striking through him with each blow. He let out a small cry of pain. Blood bathed his golden and black fur. Instinct told him to fight. Common sense and experience told him to suck it up and accept his punishment. Komui beat him to the ground with a heavy blow causing him to cry out.

"Once, again, I'm sorry you had to go through this," Komui said softly, nudging him gently with his black nose. He coughed blood, remaining silent. "I hope you make it," he murmured before leaving the den. Jasdevi felt blood trickle from his jaws. He closed his eyes accepting the dark paradice that enveloped him. He felt himself shift into human form, curling up into a ball. He felt his consciousness slip away from him.

...

He awoke feeling weak, his body hurting all over. Something warm was curled around him, larger than him. He tried to move, but his limbs were unresponsive. He hurt all over. He looked over, his eyesight blurry as hell. Crimson fur caught his eye. Lavi? Lavi was with him? He tried to make a sound, but nothing seemed to be working. At least Lavi had been conscious at some point. He'd survive… He was thankful that he hadn't killed Lavi, and his guardian seemed to still care for him, despite what Jasdevi did to him. He would've thought that Lavi would hate him after what he did. But he didn't. Jasdevi felt himself fall back to sleep, exhaustion hitting him once more.

When he woke up again, it was because something was licking his head. He groaned and opened his eyes… Lavi…

"Finally, you're awake…" Lavi said softly a warm smile across his canine maw. Jasdevi nodded slowly, trying to focus his blurry vision. Lavi licked the top of his head gently.

"I-I'm s-s-sorry…" Jasdevi choked out. "I-I d...d-didn't m-mean to..." Lavi silenced him by nudging his cheek gently with an almost reddish brown nose.

"It's alright… I forgive you," Lavi said softly.

"R-Really...?" he asked hopefully. Lavi nodded, curling tighter around Jasdevi. He felt relieved, curling up against the wolf. He still felt the brisk winter winds prickle at his skin, but the warmth of Lavi helped. Everything hurt, but he ignored it. He curled up closer next to the warm wolf. He smiled, thankful Lavi forgave him. He would be alright now.

"On the brightside, your wolf healing abilities are kicking in so soon enough you'll be back to normal," Lavi said cheerfully. Jasdevi nodded, knowing he would be fine sooner than normal. He had his wolf healing and his vampire regeneration. He could already feel the pain slipping away and bundles of energy revealing themselves. His wounds were closing themselves, his skin stitching itself back together. He let out a sigh of relief when the pain ebbed away. "Try standing." Lavi told him. Jasdevi nodded and began to stand, energy flowing through him, he felt like he could sprint a thousand miles non stop! He got to his feet, taking a few steps to test his legs. They didn't wobble and were somehow strong as hell. "That's good, they seem to be working fine." Lavi said cheerfully. Jasdevi nodded, smiling. He then noticed how hungry he was. "We should go hunting, there's been more prey since you went out cold." Lavi said with a grin.

"Okay." The dual haired teen said, grinning back. Lavi stood up, shaking off his pelt and trotting with Jasdevi towards the forest. Jasdevi walked beside him at the same pace, enjoying himself. He felt himself shift into a wolf knowing he could track better, besides that, he had been used to hunting as a wolf. He took a deep sniff of his surroundings, sensing an unfamiliar scent in the forest.

"If we split up, we have a better chance of catching prey," Lavi said as he scented the air. Jasdevi nodded, wondering if Lavi could smell the strange smell he did. Lavi headed in the opposite direction, however, Jasdevi followed the odd scent. It was very strange and foreign. Though somehow... familiar. When he came closer to it, he stopped and crouched in the bushes. There were voices.

"Come on, you can make it! There has to be something you can drink from! hee..." A familiar high pitched voice pleaded. Jasdevi peered through the bushes. He saw two cats, both males, one blonde with large eyes, the second black. Then… A vampiress… She was beautiful, perfect almond shaped crimson eyes, long black flowing hair, raised cheekbones and full lips, long black eyelashes. Everything about her was perfect. She looked weak and thirsty, looking as if she hadn't had blood in days. She fell to her knees, panting.

"Come on! Don't give up!" The black cat pleaded.

"I-I'm sorry… I c-can't do it… I'm too weak…" She breathed weakly. Jasdevi knew them. He knew them! He really did! Their names… The vampiress…. Serena! The cats, Jasdero and Devitto… his familiars! The twin cats nuzzled against her, sitting on either side of her. The bat named Toraido flew out of Serena's pocket and sat on her shoulder, nuzzling against her cheek as if to reassure her. Jasdevi, completely forgetting he was in his wolf form, walked out of the bushes towards the small group. His two familiars noticed and hissed in fear, backing up with a hiss.

"Serena! Wolf!" They cried in unison. She looked up and her eyes widened in fear as she moved away quickly. Oh. Right. Wolf form. Jasdevi remembered. He slowly walked up to her and sat in front of her like a pet dog almost. He whined softly, his ears perked and tail wagging, he army crawled towards her in a submissive way and licked her hand gently. Serena blinked in confusion.

"Y-you're not attacking." She said softly. He nodded, nuzzling against her hand and whining more, maybe she'd recognize him. Jasdevi's familiars seemed to relax a bit, Devitto creeping a bit closer and sniffing Jasdevi who happily licked him on the top of the head.

"Yuck! Dog slobber!" He groaned wiping it off his head with a paw. Jasdero giggled softly, helping his twin clean himself. Jasdevi barked like a dog, standing and licking Serena happily. She laughed slightly.

"St-stop! That tickles!" She giggled. Toraido seemed to pout.

"Dammit… It's him…" He groaned. He couldn't take it anymore. Jasdevi no longer cared if she found out what he was, he wanted her to know it was him. He shifted into human form and hugged her tightly. Shocked, she froze then realizing it was Jasdevi.

"J-Jasdevi?" She asked softly. He nodded, pulling her closer. Only now, that she was with him again, did he realize how much he missed her. "I missed you so much! Where the h-hell have you been all th-this time!" She cried, clutching him tightly.

"I got captured by werewolves and they took me in their pack." He explained shortly. "Forget about that for now, what are you doing here?" He asked, pulling back and looking at her.

"I-I ran away…" She murmured.

"Why?" He pressed, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.

"Because of father…" She said softly.

"What did he do?" Jasdevi asked softly, wondering what that bastard had done.

"He tried to force me to marry one of the suitors that were looking for me…" She murmured. Suitors? Jasdevi felt furious for a moment at that knowledge, though it dissipated quickly when he saw how weak Serena was. She looked like she was close to passing out. She needed blood and she needed it now. He breathed in the scent in the air, no prey.

"Drink from me, you're thirsty and you need the nourishment," Jasdevi said urgently.

"No... no I c-can't." She breathed.

"Mistress please." He said desperately, the word 'mistress' falling naturally from his lips. "Drink from me. You'll die if you don't." She shook her head. "Please, for me?" She thought for a moment then finally nodded. She wrapped her arms around him and pulled him close, her teeth gently sinking into Jasdevi's neck. He took in a sharp intake of breath. He had forgotten how this felt. Jasdevi pulled her closer, urging her to take as much as she needed.

"Jasdevi!" The panicked voice of Lavi came to his ears. Serena pulled back quickly, Jasdevi looking back at the crimson wolf. All three familiars hissed at the werewolf. He growled. "Jasdevi, get behind me," he said.

"No! Don't hurt her!" Jasdevi said. Lavi, tilted his head baffled. "It's alright Lavi, she's harmless." He tried to assure his guardian. Lavi looked at Jasdevi unsure. "Please Lavi, it's alright. I promise." Serena peaked at Lavi from behind Jasdevi. Lavi nodded looking at her.

"Why was she drinking from you?" He asked.

"I let her." Jasdevi admitted.

"Why? She could kill you!" Lavi exclaimed.

"She's my mistress," he explained.

"So you're just gonna let her boss you around…" Lavi said plainly, a look of disbelief on his face.

"No. She needed it. This is the first time she's drunk from me." Jasdevi said defensively.

"Really?" He asked. The teen nodded, still hiding Serena. "Now what exactly is the status of you two." Lavi said with a smirk. Jasdevi blushed slightly.

"Um... well... I..." he stammered.

"We're a couple." Serena answered before he could.

"So, a pure blood and a triple blood." Lavi smirked.

"Triple blood?" Serena asked.

"I'll explain later." Jasdevi muttered.

"Anyways, I caught a deer, kinda weak, but it's still prey." Lavi said with a shrug "I don't think Komui will appreciate me bringing back another vampire…" He sighed. Serena hugged Jasdevi tightly from behind as if not wanting him to go back. "Let's eat first, then we can bring them to camp," Lavi sighed. Jasdevi nodded. His familiars jumped into his lap, nuzzling against him happily. He smiled and hugged them.

"We missed you!" They meowed in unison, nuzzling closely against him.

"I missed you too." He murmured, petting them. The purred and licked his hand. Lavi eyed the two cats, obviously not understanding. "Oh, Lavi, these are my familiars, every vampire has their own familiar." Jasdevi explained.

"Oh," Lavi said as he dragged the deer out. The twin's perked up slightly at the smell of food. Jasdevi licked his lips happily, his wolf instincts took over and he waited for Lavi to finish eating. Before he went up and shifted into a wolf, digging in, and drinking in all the blood. He trotted back to Serena and lay down in front of her, his head resting on her lap. She smiled slightly and pet him.

"You should drink some blood, it is pretty good tasting," He said softly, nudging her gently, his familiars already digging into the fresh kill.

"No, it's alright. I'm fine now thanks to you." She smiled and kissed the top of his head.

"Then you should eat." He said stubbornly. She looked hesitantly at the raw meet what then she nodded slowly. "You'll get used to it after a while, besides, it's not like you have this one throwing up meat in your mouth," Jasdevi said gesturing to Lavi who smirked and chuckled. They all looked at him in surprise. "I'll explain that later too..." Serena nodded, taking some meat that was offered to her. She ate it with a shudder, Jasdevi chuckled, knowing she'd have a very hard time adjusting to the food. Seeing how she probably grew up with gourmet food for every meal. He nuzzled against her, acting like a pet dog. She smiled grimacing at the texture of the meat as she continued to eat. She shuddered as she swallowed.

"I-I'm full…" She stammered.

"Would you like some more blood mistress?" Jasdevi asked, looking up at her.

"Serena." She reminded "and no thank you, I had some deer blood as I ate it," she said softly, stroking Jasdevi's head gently. He nodded, closing his eyes as she pet him. He felt Jasdero and Devit curl up against his side.

"Sorry to break the moment but we should go back to camp." Lavi said boredly. Jasdevi nodded and stood, shaking himself. She stood but soon collapsed again.

"Here, get on," Jasdevi said getting low enough for Serena to hop on. She blushed slightly and nodded, sitting on his back side saddle. He carried her through the woods, Lavi in the lead. Jasdero and Devit ran happily by Jasdevi's side glad to be back with their master again. Toraido was sitting on Serena's shoulder, unsure about this whole situation.

When Lavi brought the two of them into Komui's den, Serena stood clutching Jasdevi tightly. He shifted into human form, bringing her closer to him to protect her.

"What is this doing here?" Komui asked, gesturing to Serena.

"Apparently, Jasdevi has a mate, and this is she," Lavi said.

"Vampire?" Komui asked.

"Pure." Lavi replied.

"Will she be trouble? Or will you keep her in line?" Komui asked.

"In line and Jasdevi will of course teach her," Lavi replied.

"Alright, she may stay, but if I catch her drinking the blood of any wolves. Then she is gone." Komui warned. Jasdevi nodded, pulling her a bit closer. The two cats looked up at Komui, keeping close to Jasdevi. "Three familiars?" He asked raising an eyebrow.

"No, the cats are mine, the bat is hers." Jasdevi explained. Komui nodded, eyeing Jasdero and Devit who hid behind Jasdevi's legs. He looked at them like they did with the bat. Cat's and dogs normally don't mix, that was one thing everyone knew. Jasdevi gently lifted them into his arms to hint at the fact that they were off limits. They thankfully curled up in his arms keeping close, their tails tucked, slitted golden eyes looked around in fear. Jasdevi and Lavi led Serena to their den, Jasdevi keeping one arm around her. Jasdero was in his other arm while Devit was curled around his neck like a weird scarf. Serena kept close, scared of the other wolves around who looked at her with curiosity.

When they reached the den, Serena had calmed down slightly, though she was obviously still frightened.

"It's alright Serena, they won't hurt you," Jasdevi promised. She nodded, still keeping close to him. It was becoming night when the wolves would sleep. Jasdevi yawned and curled up next to Lavi in his wolf form knowing he'd be warmer. His familiars curled up in between his front paws, curling up against his warm chest. "You should sleep, you look tired…" Jasdevi said softly. "I'll explain everything tomorrow." He murmured. Serena nodded and walked weakly over to him, curling up right in the curve of his belly, with Jasdevi's warm blonde tail wrapped around her. She nuzzled into his fur. He licked the top of her head as if she was a pup, just like Lavi had done to him. She seemed to calm down. Jasdevi hoped she'd be able to adapt well. He wanted her to feel happy like he did here. He was also worried at how the other wolves would react to a vampire, two cats, and a bat. He hoped no one would hurt them. He knew he'd have to protect them and feed her and make sure to keep her safe. He only hoped he could…

…..

He awoke the next day, the cold breeze, seemingly a bit warmer. Maybe winter would be over soon... He looked down and saw Serena, shivering slightly against his fur. He wrapped a paw around her knowing his familiars would be safe and warm since they were right against him, he tucked Serena closer, wrapping his body closer. It seemed to help a bit because her shivering stopped and she nuzzled against him. He smiled and nuzzled his familiars gently, Lavi was still asleep, wrapped around the two of them. Jasdero licked his ear, opening his large eyes.

"G'morning Dero…" Jasdevi said softly with a warm smile.

"Hi." He yawned cutely, beginning to groom himself. Jasdevi smirked and started grooming Jasdero with his large wolf tongue. The blonde squeaked slightly but allowed him to continue for it was faster and he was lazy. Jasdevi chuckled. When he finished, Jasdero shook himself. Then Jasdevi licked the top of his head. The blonde pawed at him, meowing softly.

"What? You don't like dog slobber?" Jasdevi teased softly. Jasdero giggled softly, nuzzling against him. Jasdevi nuzzled him gently knowing if he nuzzled the way he would with another wolf, that he could hurt the small cat. After a minute or two, Devit woke up as well. The ravenette cat stretched and yawned. Jasdevi smirked and licked the top of his head. "Hey Devit." He smirked slightly. Devitto grumbled, his ear flattening.

"Not the dog slobber again…" He groaned amusedly. Jasdevi smirked wider and, still hugging Serena, shifted into human form and placed a teasing kiss on the cat's head. "There, that's better," Devitto chuckled. Jasdevi laughed softly, petting his familiars. Lavi stirred behind Jasdevi making his attention turn to the red wolf. He opened his eyes and yawned.

"Mornin pup and felines." He yawned. Jasdero and Devit looked at Jasdevi.

"Pup?" They asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Ya, that's just what he calls me, like a nickname." Jasdevi explained. They both snickered softly, knowing what pup meant.

"I could give you two nicknames as well…." Lavi said with a smirk, looking at the two cats. They stuck their tongues out at him. "How about, prey item one and prey item two?" Lavi said with a devilish smirk. They hid behind Jasdevi, hissing at the wolf.

"Hey, don't be mean." Jasdevi scolded.

"What? I'm not being mean," Lavi chuckled with a yawn.

"Quit scaring them."He pouted.

"Alright alright," He laughed. Jasdevi's attention was caught when Serena stirred in his arms. He looked over at her and nuzzled her gently. She opened her eyes and smiled slightly.

"G'morning," Jasdevi purred.

"Morning." She yawned slightly, kissing his cheek.

"I'm gonna go hunting so you can explain whatever to her," Lavi said softly, nuzzling Jasdevi gently and trotting from the den. Jasdevi nodded and sat in front of Serena.

"Are you thirsty?" He asked her. She shook her head with a yawn. "Tell me if you are okay?"

"I'm fine," she said with a smile. "Now, will you explain everything?" He nodded and began explaining everything Lavi explained to him. She nodded in understanding as he told her. When he finished he looked at her.

"Any questions?" He asked.

"But why have you been here for two years? Why haven't you left? Also, I do have one more. What happened to the note for your old mistress?" She asked.

"I couldn't. I'm part werewolf. And it was blank." He answered. "Besides, I like it here. I'm accepted here, and everyone treats me better then I have ever been treated by anyone besides you, Allen, and my familiars of course," Jasdevi said. "Speaking of which. Did you know Allen was a werewolf?"

" But he's a vampire!" Serena exclaimed in surprise.

"According to Lavi, he used to be part of this pack and then he was bitten." Jasdevi explained.

"Oh. That's why he's a servant…" She murmured in understanding. He nodded.

"I was surprised too, trust me." He laughed. She laughed as well. Jasdero and Devit sat on his lap, purring slightly. He stroked the two of them gently with a smile. Jasdevi looked at Serena who had turned her attention to a hungry Toraido. "What does he eat?" Jasdevi asked.

"He's a fruit bat, so he eats nuts and fruits." Serena explained.

"Oh, I can get him some," Jasdevi said with a grin.

"Really?" She asked. Jasdevi nodded.

"What type of fruit does he want?" He asked.

"Peaches are my favorite." Toraido said, fluttering his wings. Jasdevi closed his eyes focusing on the fruit until a perfectly ripe one appeared in his hand.

"There, and it's real too!" He said happily. Toraido looked at it and flew up up to the peach, landing on Jasdevi's hand. Jasdevi offered the bat the peach. Toraido sank his fangs into the peach and began to drink the juice from it. Meanwhile Jasdevi held it in place for the bat. Some of the juice dripped from the peach and onto Jasdevi's fingers.

"How do you do that?" Serena asked curiously.

"It's a power I discovered not too long ago," he grinned. "I just have to think of something and it appears in front of me, example, name something that you want to appear," he said. She thought for a moment.

"How about a case of blood tablets?" She offered. He nodded and closed his eyes, a the image of a blood tablets concealed in a large box appeared in his vision, and he felt something about the size of a squirrel appear in his arms, he opened his eyes seeing the box of blood tablets as she had requested. "Wow, that's impressive." Jasdevi grinned proudly. She opened the small case and took some tablets out, popping them into her mouth. Jasdevi stretched and rolled over onto his back happily. He rested his head on her lap and she stroked his long hair. He chuckled and leaned into her warm touch, his heart fluttering like a free bird does in the sky. He felt his cat ears and tail emerge, but he didn't care. He purred softly. Serena giggled and scratched him behind the ears. He felt shivers run down his spine, his purr became louder. Serena kissed his head, smiling as he continued to purr. He smirked and lifted his head, and licked her cheek. A pink blush sprinkled her cheeks and she kissed him right on the lips. He blinked in surprise then smiled happily and returned her kiss his hand rising to brush her cheek gently. He pulled her closer, kissing her passionately. He ran his fingers through her long black hair, enjoying it's silky touch. She pressed her hands against his chest, leaning into the kiss. His arms fled to her shoulders, bringing her closer. The sound of someone clearing their throat made them let go at once.

Lavi stood at the doorway in human form, an awkward smirk on his face. They both blushed. "Um... hi Lavi..." Jasdevi said awkwardly. He chuckled with a smirk.

"Having fun there you two?" He asked with a smirk.

"H-how long have you been there?" Jasdevi asked, blushing.

"Uh… Hard to say, I walked in when you two were just starting it." Lavi said with a shrug.

"What?!" He asked in a shocked voice.

"I waited like ten minutes for you two to notice me," He laughed.

"And you chose now to tell us?" Jasdevi asked indignantly.

"Well, I decided to let you two have your moment," Lavi replied. Serena giggled softly in amusement.

"You two are like brothers." She giggled.

"No, he's just my guardian," Jasdevi chuckled.

"I know, but you act like brothers." She commented.

"Do not!" They said in unison. This caused Serena to burst out laughing, making both boys blush slightly. Jasdevi looked down slightly. His familiars snickering quietly. Lavi walked up to them.

"By the way, what's up with these?" He chuckled, poking one of his cat ears.

"Sh-shut up!" Jasdevi pouted, his cat ears going flat against his head.

"I think your Neko is showing," Lavi chuckled. Jasdevi stuck his tongue out at Lavi as his tail swayed with irritation. Lavi only laughed and patted Jasdevi on the back. He only pouted and hugged Serena. Lavi snorted, "Any way, I caught some prey if you're hungry." He nodded.

"Okay." Jasdevi said. "You hungry?" He asked, looking at Serena.

She nodded bashfully. He smiled slightly and stood, helping her up. Lavi lead them outside where a deer lay the rest of the pack already starting on it.

"I already ate," Lavi said. Jasdevi nodded, and waited for his turn to eat. When it came, he shifted into wolf form and went for it. Serena followed him and Jasdevi kept her close as he dug into the meal, growling at any wolves who came closer. Serena was obviously very uncomfortable around all these wolves. Jasdevi finished and had her eat while he watched over her and made sure no other wolves got close. When she finished, he got some meat for Jasdero and Devitto and led her away. He trotted back to their den, Serena following very close. When they reached the den, Jasdevi dropped the meat in front of his familiars, sitting down. Jasdero and Devitto licked their lips and gratefully dug into their meat.

"Thanks Jasdevi!" They said in between bites. He smiled and nodded. Toraido fluttered back to sit on his mistress's shoulder. The bat nuzzled closer to her neck and yawned softly. Serena pet his head gently.

"Are you tired?" She whispered kindly. Bat's were awake at night and slept in the day, much like vampires. Toraido nodded. She gently took him and placed him in her breast pocket. The shape of the bat curled up in her pocket happy and content, soon falling asleep. Serena giggled softly then sat down beside Jasdevi.

"I should probably tell you about pack life so you don't make mistakes," Jasdevi said shifting human. She nodded.

"That's a good idea," She said.

"There are ranks and that's how we judge first and last to eat. Alpha, the leader, Beta, the ones who control who's hunting or staying and they distract other packs with their various howl's. There are also the older adults that are getting elderly, then there's the young adults that make up most of the pack, then omega's, who keep peace within the pack and are like personal punching bags, and then the pups. I'm part of the younger adult rank, and as are you now. Lavi is a Beta." Jasdevi explained. Serena had to think for a moment before she nodded in understanding. "Fighting for food determines your rank as well. When you're pups when you fight, that eventually also determines that."

"Alright." She nodded.

"Winter is the season where the prey is at it's least so the wolves are more… Tense and will attack easier." He said.

"I imagine." She said softly.

"Another thing, if a wolf acts tough and challenges you, don't back down, that's a one way ticket to becoming an omega." Jasdevi said. She nodded, though he could tell she hoped that wouldn't happen. He pulled her onto his lap and stroked her hair gently. She leaned against him, hugging him gently. "Oh yeah remember when yesterday I said 'well at least you don't have this one vomiting in your mouth'?" Jasdevi asked. She nodded. "Well, when I first came here, I had been caught by Lavi and because I was of no harm and was able to stay, Komui had appointed Lavi as my guardian, when I was hungry, he fed me the way wolves normally feed their pups, which is by vomiting food into their mouths," Jasdevi explained with a shudder.

"Eww!" The twins gagged, sticking their tongues out.

"He did that two me for a year and a half…" Jasdevi groaned. The twins stared at him like he was insane. "It was disgusting… But, it had blood in it and I was afraid of the other wolves so I didn't complain that much." His familiars nuzzled against him as if to reassure him.

"You're very brave," Serena said. "I wouldn't have lasted five minutes." Jasdevi blushed.

"Thanks," he said softly.

"Honestly it was even more funny when he was being defiant the second day of trying to feed him," The voice of Lavi snorted behind them.

"Shut up." Jasdevi said, embarrassed.

"And when I was trying to groom him, he kept squirming away like a pup that didn't want to be played with," Lavi added. Jasdevi blushed when Serena giggled in amusement. "Not to mention day one when it was cold that night he refused to let me keep him warm until I pinned him down." Serena giggled more, embarrassing the poor teen even more. "It's alright pup, you turned out alright," Lavi said with a chuckle, licking the top of Jasdevi's head. Jasdevi pouted.

"You're not my parent Lavi." He grumbled.

"Close enough," Lavi shrugged "I am your guardian, that is pretty close," Lavi said. Jasdevi rolled his eyes. Lavi smirked mischievously and scratched him behind the cat ears. Jasdevi tried to frown, but the feeling was so good and so relieving. He ended up smiling and purring. "Good pup." Lavi smirked. Jasdevi rolled his eyes, still smiling at the feeling. Serena giggled.

"See? You two are like siblings. It's cute," She smiled. Jasdevi and Lavi blushed a bit. But they didn't deny it. Jasdevi shied away from Lavi, laying his head on Serena's lap. Lavi chuckled crossing his arms. She smiled and began petting him gently. Jasdevi smiled and made himself comfy. Lavi smirked slightly, sitting cross legged against the wall. He leaned back against the walls with a yawn. Jasdero looked at him curiously and walked over timidly.

"Hey little guy," he chuckled as he looked at Jasdero. The blonde took another few steps forward, tilting his head at the red head. "I won't hurt you, I know I'm a dog but that doesn't mean I'll hurt you." Lavi reassured. Jasdero walked arm reach from Lavi, looking up at him with his large doll like eyes. Lavi didn't outstretch an arm, probably fearing scaring the blonde cat. To his surprise, the blonde cat sat in front of him and nuzzled against his knee. Only then did Lavi stroked the cat, scratching behind his ears. He purred, nuzzling against his hand. Lavi smiled and continued. Devit however was stubborn and watched his brother cautiously. Jasdero licked Lavi's fingers happily. Lavi chuckled and scratched under the blonde's chin. The cat crawled onto the werewolf's lap, curling up. Lavi gently stroked Jasdero's long fur, making sure to be very careful. Devit watched cautiously to make sure Lavi didn't hurt his brother. Lavi looked at Devit. "Don't worry, I'm not gonna hurt him." Devit narrowed his eyes and sat down, still watching. Lavi chuckled and continued to be very gentle with the tom and scratch behind his ears and under his chin. Jasdero mewled, purring loudly.

"You're adorable, you know that right?" Lavi chuckled to the blonde cat. Dero giggled.

"Nice werewolf. hee hee!" He giggled.

"Good kitty," Lavi purred to the tom. Jasdero giggled again, grinning happily. Devit, now getting a bit jealous of all the attention on his brother, now decided to come forward, dubbing it safe. He sat beside Lavi, nuzzling against his knee as if begging for attention. Lavi chuckled "now you believe me," he said and removed one hand from Dero and started doing the same to Devitto. The cats purred in unison as he pet them. Jasdevi pouted slightly. "What? They came up to me." Lavi chuckled.

"Besides, you're too busy with Serena-chan" Jasdero giggled.

"Yeah! We need attention." Devit pouted.

"Of course you do," Jasdevi mused. The twins laughed and continued purring. Devit grew comfortable enough to join his twin on the red head's lap. The werewolf laughed lightly.

"I never thought I'd like cats this much." He laughed. "I don't see why dogs don't get along with you guys," he mused as he continued to scratch them behind their ears.

"Dogs attack us a lot." Devit purred.

"That must suck," Lavi said with a sigh "they'll back off if you just claw their noses, their noses are sensitive," Lavi recommended. The twins looked at each other.

"Thanks!" They said in unison.

"If that doesn't work just go for their underbelly," he added with a smile. They nodded, licking his cheeks as a thank you. Lavi laughed and stroked them. Serena chuckled softly.

"They took to him quite quickly." She said, looking down at Jasdevi.

"Well, I took to him within a few days, I guess it's not that hard," he mused.

"He's very nice. Nothing like what father told me werewolves were like." Serena mused.

"Most of the wolves are very kind," Jasdevi said with a smile.

"What did your father tell you?" Lavi asked a bit curiously.

"That all you wolves were cruel and vicious, even to each other and your offspring," Serena said bashfully.

"Classic vampires." Lavi sighed. "Then again, our stories aren't any better."

"What are your stories?" Serena asked.

"Vampires, kill humans and wolves for fun, and they often drink from each other when they're weaker, they're a main hierarchy that aren't that fair and are cruel when it comes to punishments." Serena sighed.

"I'm afraid to say that those are true for a lot of vampires." She murmured.

"So we're pretty accurate?" Lavi asked. She nodded.

"I'm afraid so." She admitted. Jasdevi nodded with agreement.

"At least, the rumors of the vampires weren't true… I like it here…" He said with a sigh.

"Yes, it's much nicer." Serena agreed.

"Yes, I'm sad that my friend is in the vampire world…" Lavi said softly with a sigh.

"You mean Allen?" Serena asked, looking up.

"Yes, he was my best friend…" Lavi sighed. Serena thought for a moment then perked up.

"I can summon him." She said.

"Really?" Lavi said hopefully, seeming to perk up. She nodded with a smile. "Could you?"

"Of course. I'm not supposed to. But I've already broken so many rules. Why not break another?" She giggled. Lavi grinned happily.

"Lenalee is gonna be so happy!" He said with a smile. Serena laughed and closed her eyes, muttering something under her breath. Soon, Allen Walker stood in front of them, blinking in great surprise. He looked at Serena and bowed slightly.

"You called, Mistress?" He asked in a soft voice.

"Allen!" Lavi called, gently putting the cats down and hugging his friend. The whitette cried out in shock.

"L-Lavi?!" He asked in surprise.

"Yes!" Lavi said happily, hugging his friend tighter. Allen grinned and hugged the red head back.

"Lavi, l-loosen up! I can't b-breath!" He gasped. Lavi let go and closed his eye, grinning bashfully and rubbing the back of his neck.

"Sorry," he chuckled. He cried out when the whitette glomped him, knocking him to the ground.

"You have no idea how much I missed you!" He said. Lavi chuckled on the ground and hugged his friend happily. Serena smiled, happy that she could reunite Allen with his friends. Lavi shifted into his red wolf form and barked happily, whining happily and bouncing around, wagging his tail happily. Allen focused and shifted into a pure white wolf, also barking happily. "God it feels good to be wolf again!" He yipped happily, jumping around with Lavi who nipped at him gently with a grin. The white wolf trotted over to Serena. "Thank you." He said gratefully, bowing his head slightly.

"It's no problem," she said with a smile.

"Oh yeah! Lenalee needs to see you! She's gonna be so happy!" Lavi yapped joyfully.

"I can't wait to see everyone again!" Allen said eagerly. Lavi lead him from the den.

"Guys! Allen's back!" He cried out happily. A lot of wolves perked up at these words. They all crowded around Allen, yapping happily and nuzzling against him and going on their elbows with joy, tails wagging happily. The vampires would never be treating a returned other like this, they'd be attacking, or punishing the other vampire. This is what Jasdevi knew for sure. Suddenly, Allen shifted into human form when a tall girl with green pigtails ran up to him. She threw her arms around his shoulders, hugging him tightly. Allen returned the hug, hugging her tightly and tightly. Closing his eyes. He whispered something in her ear. She blushed slightly and smiled, kissing his cheek. He smiled and brought his lips to her own, his arms snaking around her waist and pulling her closer. The crowd of wolves howled and whistled as they kissed. The female grinned, closing her eyes and bringing herself closer. Meanwhile Komui was practically having a stroke over this. A man with spiky blonde hair was keeping him away from interrupting the kiss.

Jasdevi chuckled in amusement at Komui, trying to break their kiss. "Komui is Lenalee's older brother and is he is practically devoted to her, so this is kinda funny," Jasdevi mused. Serena giggled.

"I can tell just by this that he's very overprotective." She smiled.

"He practically scares every male that even gives her a sideways glance." Jasdevi smiled. She giggled again.

"My father is sort of like that." She mused. "Kind of."

"I've noticed," Jasdevi said with a bit of a grimace. She looked at her lap.

"Sorry again... about what he did to you." She murmured.

"It's alright," he said with a sigh. "I'm used to punishment like that."

"It's just that... I'm all he had before he got married a second time. I watched my original mother get murdered by vampire hunters." She said softly. Jasdevi hugged her softly.

"My old mistress killed both my parents, right in front of my face when I was young, then turned me vampire…" Jasdevi said. She kissed him gently, cupping his cheek as if to reassure him. He smiled "at least I have you guys now." She smiled and leaned her forehead against his own.

"Yeah. We have each other now." She smiled. He kissed her gently, pulling her closer with an arm. She pressed her hands against his chest, returning the kiss. He nuzzled her closer. His arms wrapped around her waist, pulling her onto his lap. His forehead was pressed against her own a smile across his lips. She leaned her head on his shoulder, nuzzling against his neck. Jasdevi was happy. Finally... truly happy. He had people who loved him and cared for him.

Jasdevi smirked and picked her up bridal style with ease. She blushed, wrapping her arms around his neck. He carried her inside the den gently placing her down and curling up around her and kissing her gently. She nuzzled against him, leaning her head on his chest. He closed his eyes with a warm smile.

"You're warm." She breathed.

"I try…" He purred. She giggled and kissed his chin. He smiled and pulled her closer. Jasdero and Devit trotted over, curling up beside Jasdevi. Jasdevi kept them close and found himself drifting off to sleep.

...

The sounds of screaming a fighting jerked him out of his sleep and his eyes flew open. He shifted into a wolf immediately, Lavi had been asleep beside Jasdevi and had awoken as well, a growl rumbling in his throat. Serena woke up as well, looking around in alarm.

"Stay here." He said to her, before running out with Lavi. Vampires were everywhere, the wolves were finding it hard to fend them off. There lay many dead vampires on the ground, very few wolves were dead. Lavi and Jasdevi sprung into action, snapping the necks of the vampires. Jasdevi even risked shifting into human form and letting his vampire side take over as he fought the other vampires, ripping their throats out with his fangs. He was no longer loyal to the vampires. These wolves were his family… His friends, he would protect them with his life. No matter the consequences. Suddenly, he froze. A certain vampire caught his attention making him freeze on the spot. His old mistress… Fury rose in him. He wanted nothing more than to kill her. That bitch… His eyes narrowed and he ran at her with all his speed and strength and through himself at her. She saw him and blocked him, catching his wrist and twisting his arm behind his back. He snarled, his eyes furious. That's when he shifted wolf and her arm lost it's grip, he then clamped his iron jaws down on her calf and yanker down, thrashing her around, bending her leg in a way a leg should never be bent in. She screamed in agony and hissed, flipping them over and pinning him. He cried out as he felt her do something that forced him into human form again. She smirked and bit into his neck. Fury rose in him, not fear, not weakness. How dare she try to make him a lower. He felt something tear through his skin and form. He kicked her stomach, pushing her off and kneeling. Whatever had formed on his back hurt. As if his bones had been stretched and multiplied. He had shifted human in the process. He looked behind him seeing large jet black wings, bat wings... They flapped, surprising him greatly. It hurt to move these new extensions to his body. But they were powerful. He grabbed his mistress before she even knew what was happening, then he beat the air with his large wing, pain shooting through his back each time, without the ground, she wouldn't be able to fight as well… Her aerial skills weren't as great. He hissed, baring his fangs and stabbed his canines into her pale neck. He sucked in her blood, her pure blood… It was delicious, he felt her body grow weak and grow thinner and more like a raisin, this is just what she had done to his parents.

"How do you like this?" He hissed. He sped down to the ground, slamming her onto it and digging his nails into her stomach. She screeched in agony, blood flying from her throat. "This is for all the years of misery I spent under you." He snarled, removing his hand and digging two fingers into her eye. "And this is for all the suffering you put me through!" She screamed her, blood gushing from her entire body, she was paralyzed from neck down... He stood and stomped on her chest, crushing her rib cage and everything under it. He smirked with sadistic pleasure. "And that was for my parents…" he walked away from her and back into the battle, using his new wings to help him. As he used them, they began to hurt less, his body getting used to the new extensions. He knocked vampires down, killing them swiftly, knocking them down with his wings and sinking his teeth into their flesh. Suddenly, he heard a very familiar scream. Serena! He beat his wings and took flight, scouring everywhere for her. Two vampires were holding the struggling princess, who was bound with strong rope. He snarled and attacked the vampires, sinking his canines into their flesh. He plunged his nails into their flesh, killing them instantly. Then he went to Serena's bonds and used his nails and clawed at them trying desperately to untie them. At last, she was free. The poor girl threw her arms around him, tears of fear streaming down her cheeks. He beat the air with his wings and rose into the sky, clutching her tightly he kept her close and plunged into the skies, flying above the clouds where she was safe. He hugged her as she sobbed into his chest. He hung there about the clouds, his wings keeping him in place, he held her safely to his chest. "You're alright... it's okay..." He murmured in her ear, trying to calm her. She sobbed harder, hugging him much closer. He continued trying to comfort her, stroking her hair gently. He prayed the war would end soon. He had to get her to safety while it lasted. He had to help fight. A tree would be best, he could defend it and make sure she was out of eyesight of the vampires. He flew down through the clouds again and towards a tree, landing on the highest, concealed branch. He gently placed her down in the concealed area. He kissed her gently. "Stay right here. Stay hidden. I'll be back soon." He murmured. She nodded and curled up, hugging the tree. Jasdevi kissed her one last time then dived from the tree and spread his wings. He flew back to the battle field, landing conveniently on a vampire that had cornered Lavi.

Lavi smiled "Thanks pup," he said with a smile. Jasdevi grinned and nodded, batting his wings.

"No problem." He said. Lavi returned the grin and together they attacked and killed the offending vampires. They ripped them to shreds, blood and flesh flying everywhere. It was beautiful.

In not to long, the vampires were all dead… Every last one… The war was over, The wolves stood notorious, the omega's bringing the bodies out of camp to turn to soil. Jasdevi wiped blood from his face, licking it off his wrist. The bodies were then moved to the center. Many wolves had died. Tap, a big brown wolf for one. Dead. Many dead. Jasdevi bowed his head along with the others, mourning their deaths. Then, as if sensing what the others would do, Jasdevi shifted into his wolf form, and threw his head into the nights air and let out a mourning howl, wolves all around him did the same. Singing for their dead companions. Jasdevi couldn't help wondering why they had attacked though. Then he remembered Serena… Had they somehow known that she was there? But how? Had they tracked her?

"I have to go get Serena." Jasdevi told Lavi. "I'll be right back." Lavi nodded and nudged him gently.

"Be careful," he said softly. He nodded and shifted into human form, using his wings to jump into the air and fly back to the tree where he left Serena. He flew as fast as he could, the wind whipping him as he flew. He soon reached it, landing swiftly on the top branch beside Serena. She was there, she was safe. She let out a sigh of relief and hugged him tightly. He hugged her back.

"See? I came back, just like I said." He smiled. She nodded hugging him tighter and burying her head into his chest.

"I was so scared." She whispered, tears streaming down her cheeks. He brought her closer.

"It's alright…" He breathed. He stroked her hair soothingly. "I'm back, I'm alive, I'm not hurt…" He breathed. She nodded, nuzzling against his chest. He kissed her gently. She kissed him back, still crying. He gently lifted her bridal style. He held her tightly and flew off back to the camp.

When they got to camp, he brought her into their den, Lavi was already asleep inside by now. He put her down gently and lay beside her, hugging her close with his wings wrapped around them. Then he remembered his familiars.

"Jasdero, Devitto?" He called for them. The two cats trotted out from behind a rock. Oh thank god they were alright. He let out a sigh of relief and opened one of his wings to have them join him under, they curled up right against him and Jasdevi gently lay his wing over them. They nuzzled against him, licking blood from his face. "Don't worry, I'm not hurt…" He said softly. They nodded, curling up against him. He pulled them closer, as he felt Lavi nuzzle against him. Warm and calm, they all soon fell asleep. Happy they were all safe... Jasdevi also fell asleep. None of them had died. They were all okay… Everyone was safe... for now.
