Speaking in wolf form

~~∞∞Ω∞∞~~

Danny, Chin and Kono took turns over the next couple of days watching over Steve but Danny didn't want to be left alone so Kono and Chin would take turns staying with Danny when it was his turn to watch and they would sleep on the couch downstairs. Steve was in and out of consciousness over those days and was able to get out that they needed to know to contact his superiors so they knew he was alright.

Danny contacted them and made sure to put up a cover story saying that they found that Steve was able to get himself free but was delirious and made it back to his house which was why he hadn't contacted them or went to a hospital. Danny told them that he was recovering well and that his team were taking turns watching him and that he was being held for questioning when he was well enough for it.

Danny sighed as he walked downstairs of Steve's house to see both Chin and Kono there and Kono holding two coffees and Chin already had one. So that one he was awake enough to drive home and then one of them was awake to keep an eye on Steve.

"Here brah, coffee."

"Thanks Kono. Got anything else to go on?"

"Well I can tell you there are hunters."

"Hunters?"

"Yeah werewolf hunters." Chin said. "They search out werewolves and kill us thinking that we are a threat to human survival. Only a handful of werewolves need to be killed because they are rogues. They will kill anyone and anything in their path. Otherwise we all live among humans with no problems."

"We know you have questions brah, go ahead."

"Were either of you ever going to tell me?"

"No." Chin said.

"Why not? You don't trust me? What?"

"We can't. The fewer humans that know the better and safer we all are. The only one that can decide if a human is trustworthy with our secret is an Alpha." Chin explained.

"So what will happen to me know that I know?"

"We don't know. For one you have to not say a thing to anyone. We trust you Danny. Steve is an Alpha so he will make a decision on if he can trust you." Kono said.

"And if he decides he can't?"

"That's up to him."

"Hold on. How can you tell he's an Alpha?"

Before Chin or Kono could answer the door was swung open and six wolves entered growling dangerously. Danny backed up in fear seeing the wolves and looked at them all. They all had dark fur and were large, larger than normal wolves but not as large a Steve was.

Chin and Kono phased extremely quickly and growled and stood in front of Danny since he had no way of protecting himself. Chin and Kono stood their ground; Danny noticed the hair on their backs stand on end as they growled.

"What are you doing in our Alpha's house, strays?" The one in front spoke, only Chin and Kono could understand.

"We found your Alpha in the hands of hunters, we knew he was severely injured and came to help. We are part of the HPD."Kono said.

"The human knows."

"You can't touch him. Only an Alpha can decide his fate." Chin spoke as he growled lowly.

"If our Alpha is that badly injured than we reserve the right to decide and since it's our decision, he has to die."

Chin and Kono growled louder as the wolves started to walk forward intending on taking Danny out of the picture. The wolves prepared to jump at them when a wolf left the stairs and landed in front of Chin, Kono and Danny and growled a lot louder and stood to his full height. The wolves back down laying on the ground in submission and it even caused Chin and Kono to do the same. The growl was made to force lower wolves into submission.

"You don't decide the human's fate. I do and I have never given anyone the permission to decide for me. He lives and anyone wanting to dispute that is more than welcome to challenge me for it."

"Alpha we were only thinking in your best interest. He's seen all of us in our wolf form and he could tell the hunters."

"He rescued me and the other werewolves from hunters. He is trust worthy and so are the other two behind me."

"Yes Alpha."

"What's going on?" Danny said confused with everything that was happening.

Kono phased back and quickly snatched the blanket on the back of the couch and wrapped it around her before carefully walked back to Danny as one of the other wolves growled at her for moving but was put in his place by Steve, who growled at him.

"They were going to kill you Danny. If the Commander didn't arrive when he did there would be a fight and Chin and I wouldn't have been able to protect you, not with six of them. Steve has put you under his protection as well as myself and Chin."

"What do you mean?"

"You see Chin and I are strays. We were forced from our pack because we didn't agree with some things that were happening before you arrived. While we are strays, packs keep their distance from us and will attack us if we are alone. Being under Steve's protection means his pack can't attack us."

"So what? You're part of his pack now?"

"No we aren't but we can't be harmed."

"This is all too confusing."

Kono smiled and turned to Chin who was still watching the other wolves in his wolf form so that in case some of the wolves didn't listen and tried to attack them. Danny gasped as he watched Steve phase back to his human form.

His bones started to crack and reshaped. His legs shortening and changing back to arms and legs. His ears shortened down onto the side of his head and his muzzle pulled in to his face. As this happened his fur disappeared and he was left naked standing before them.

Steve stumbled backwards slightly and Kono caught his arm and helped steady him as the wolves moved slightly forward till Steve shot them a look and they backed off. Kono let Steve stand up straight and when he seemed stable she released his arm.

"Go home. I will call if I need any of you." The wolves seemed to hesitate. "Now!"

They quickly turned and left and Chin walked over and closed the door before walking around the couch, phasing back and snatching a blanket off there and wrapping it around his waist and held one out to Steve.

"Thanks." Steve wrapped it around his waist and looked around them all. "Sorry about that. Should have contacted my pack as soon as possible."

"No problem brah. It was bound to happen sooner or later." Chin said.

"I think I need to sit down." Danny mumbled to himself. "And you three need to get dressed."

Danny moved and collapsed on the couch still in shock at what had happened and seeing them phase. Chin and Kono walked out to the car to get a change of clothes while Steve walked up the stairs and quickly got dressed into sweats and a shirt before coming downstairs. Danny was still sitting on the couch looking exhausted.

"So we haven't been properly introduced. I'm Steve McGarrett."

"Detective Danny Williams."

"Nice to meet you."

"So I have a question for you? How does a Lt Commander with the Navy and a SEAL for that matter, allow himself to get kidnapped and tortured? Because I was under the impression that they were able to stop most of that from happening."

"Not that simple. One; they are hunters and they are able to move around just as quietly as a wolf and they had silver bullets and I didn't have a weapon. And two; it was survival training not combat training."

"Right."

Danny sat there his heart beating faster than normal being left alone with the Navy SEAL/ werewolf and Steve could hear it.

"You don't have to be frightened around me. I'm not going to hurt you Detective."

"I'm not."

"You are. I can hear it."

"Well excuse me if not a few days ago I watched you change into a wolf and kill someone we were after and then again today save my life that was probably going to be taken by the members of your pack."

"Sorry about them. They didn't know what had happened and probably thought you were the ones that kidnapped me."

"Even though we are with HPD?"

"There are people who know and hate us for what we are."

"Even with Chin and Kono being wolves."

"Yep."

"This is messed up. So what happens with Chin and Kono being strays?"

"They just live by themselves but no one in my pack can hurt them or you without me coming after them. You saved my life Detective they can't do anything."

"It's Danny."

"Danny."

"How are you feeling anyway?"

"Better."

"You certainly look a lot better than when I first saw you."

"Yeah I do feel better than before. When we can phase to our wolf form we heal a bit quicker."

"I thought you guys couldn't change..."

"Phase."

"Sorry phase when you had silver in your blood."

"Normally that's right. But I'm a born Alpha and am a lot stronger than changed werewolves or lower down born wolves. Chin and Kono wouldn't be able to do much with the amount of silver still running through my veins let alone phase. But I'm a lot stronger than them but it still takes a lot out of me. And I'm not exhausted right now since I'm still running off adrenaline from before."

"Maybe you should go lie down than."

"Yeah once the doc gets here."

"What?"

"Steve got the pack to go get the doctor. Each pack has a doctor who knows about them. Steve had them go get him and send him here." Chin said as he walked back inside with Kono behind him.

"Ok."

There was silence for a minute before a phone broke the silence. Danny reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone and grumbled under his breath and pressed the ignore button before placing it back in his pocket. Steve shot him a confused look just as it rang again. Danny sighed and pulled it out again and answered it. His expression was one if someone was pulling teeth.

"Yes dear!" He forced out and there was silence before a smile broke out on his face. "Hey Monkey. No I thought you were your mom." Danny said as he walked out of the house.

Steve looked to Chin and Kono who were smiling. They moved and sat down on the other couch.

"What was that?"

"I'm guessing it's his daughter Grace." Chin said

"He's married?" Steve asked.

"No divorced. Moved here, when his ex brought Grace here." Kono said. "She's adorable."

"Oh."

They had been sitting around quietly for few minutes when Danny came inside a little more stiffly than anyone would have thought. His body posture and colour of his skin gave off that something was wrong but his heart rate was significantly higher than they would have suspected since they could hear it.

"Danny you alright?"
