Chapter 8

~~∞∞Ω∞∞~~

"What?"

Steve sat down beside Danny on the couch. He couldn't believe that his pack would go behind his back like that. He couldn't believe his Beta whom he trusted with his packs welfare when he was off in the Navy, would disobey him. Steve wasn't happy and neither was his wolf side.

Danny sat on the couch after he told Steve who it was and Steve had only said one word to him after that. Danny saw his hands were turning white with how tight he was holding them to try and contain his anger.

"Steve why don't we go upstairs alright?" Danny said and put his hand over one of Steve's.

Danny quickly led Steve upstairs and sat him on the bed before hurrying downstairs and locking up and activating the alarm. Danny headed back upstairs and saw Steve had changed into some loose bottoms and a singlet which allowed his tattoos to be unobstructed. Sitting on the end was another lot of clothes.

"Something for you to change into. Will be more comfortable than what you are wearing now."

Danny nodded and took the clothes before heading into the bathroom connected to the room to change and when Danny did come back out Steve hadn't moved an inch. Danny placed his clothes on the floor near the door and sat down next to Steve on the bed.

"Steve? Look if it was a problem I would have said something."

"No you wouldn't have. You would have kept quiet for Grace's safety. Just like you have done till now. How long?"

"Just over a year."

"Damn it!" Steve stood up and walked around the room. "Why didn't you tell me Danny?"

"Because I didn't think it would get this bad."

"How bad? Danny what have they done? Have they hurt you?" Steve said as he turned to Danny.

"It doesn't matter."

"Yes Danny it does. One because I care about you and two it goes against our highest law."

"What do you mean?"

"Attacking humans is an instant removal from the pack. Killing a human is an instant death as it is considered that the wolf has gone rogue. The only time these laws are let slide is if the human is a hunter. Or if the wolf's chosen profession is law enforcement or military and they have to be in human form. Danny these laws have been around for hundreds of years. I need to know have they hurt you while in their wolf form."

"Yes." Danny said with a sigh.

"Damn it." Steve said and his hands were clenched so tightly shut Danny was worried he would cut into his hands with his nails. "Show me." Danny looked ready to refuse. "Danny show me or so help me god I will strip you down if I have to."

Danny removed the t-shirt Steve was lending him and Steve saw a few scars of either bite marks or scratch marks. He didn't see any new ones and he was glad for it. Danny then rolled up his pant leg, as Steve had given him sweat pants, to reveal a rectangular bandage on his upper thigh. Steve was instantly beside him and pulled off the bandage to reveal some scratch marks that were stitched up. Steve growled deeply and backed off before doing something that surprised Danny.

Steve suddenly phased and stood before him growling angrily. The fur on his back was standing on end. Danny could only stare in shock at what had just happened and he wasn't expecting this big of a reaction from him. Danny started to move backwards from him on the bed as Steve moved towards him and jumped up on the end of the bed as Danny fell backwards onto his back on the bed.

Steve leaned down to his leg and sniffed at it before looking up at Danny and then laid on the bed and watched, his fur still on end as he was angry. Steve looked at Danny before looking at his own phone on the bedside table beside him before looking back at Danny. He knew he was scaring Danny a little so he was hoping Danny would call Chin or Kono so they could explain this to him.

Danny looked to where Steve was looking and saw the phone sitting on the table and then back to Steve again. Danny watched as the wolf tilted his head towards the table while looking at him. Danny slowly sat up and moved against the bed head and reached for the phone. Danny quickly dialled Chin's number and hoped that he would answer.

"What's up brah?" Chin answered.

"Chin its Danny."

"Hey brah what are you doing with the Steve's phone?"

"Oh um well he can't talk at the moment."

"Why? Something happen?"

"You could say that. He's um what did you guys call it, phased?"

"Ok. Am I on speaker?"

"You are now."

"Steve." Steve barked and growled at the phone. "Ok. Danny don't worry it shouldn't last long. Once he calms down he should be able to phase back. So what caused this?"

"He was upset and suddenly bam he's like he is now."

"Upset? Sad?"

"No."

"Angry?"

"More like pissed off. Majorly pissed off."

"What caused that?"

"Well um... You know what let us tell you tomorrow at lunch."

Danny looked at Steve who was watching him from his head on legs. Danny sat back having turned the phone off speaker but he was sure Steve probably still hear everything.

"Alright, you going to be ok brah?"

"Yeah. I'm alright."

"Do you need company? I know over a year ago you weren't comfortable when he was like this."

"No I think I'll be fine."

"Alright brah. I'll see you guys tomorrow."

Steve looked at Danny before standing up and moving closer and laid his head down on Danny's legs and looked up at him. Danny looked a little hesitant but laid his hand on Steve's head and scratched behind his ear. Steve leaned his head in to his hand and gave a soft growl. Danny chuckled and stopped making Steve whine.

"Like that?"

Steve pressed his head more into Danny's hand in hopes that he would continue. Danny started to scratch again and took a closer look at Steve in the state he was in now. Looking at him now he didn't look all that dangerous but he knew that could change in an instant. After a few minutes Danny stopped scratching his ear and went to running his hand over Steve's furred back.

Steve stood up about five minutes later and jumped off the bed and walked into the bathroom. Danny wasn't sure what was going on but a couple of minutes later Steve came out with a towel wrapped around his waist. Danny couldn't help that his eyes moved up and down Steve's body. Steve smirked seeing Danny looking him up and down and knew that would happen a lot.

"Sorry about that."

"You want to explain it to me."

"I will." Steve said as he grabbed some new clothes and went back to the bathroom to get changed.

When he came out he quickly picked up the ripped clothes that were on the floor before sitting down on the bed beside Danny who was sitting on the far side leaning back against the bed head. Danny looked at Steve as he looked to Danny.

"Where do you want me to start?"

"How about with what just happened."

"It's quite simple actually. If for some reason our emotions get to strong, so anger or sadness for example we phase. It's not all the time. But with what's been happening to you and the attacks and seeing the fresh one I couldn't stop it from happening." Steve said as he put his hand on Danny's leg near the scratch marks. "Sorry I scared you."

"No it's alright Steve it wasn't as bad as before I met you."

"Yeah I could hear your heart beat when you saved me. My heart sank when I heard how fast it was going and the fear that was radiating off you."

"Wow. Hold up a minute. What do you mean 'your heart sank'?"

"Danny I started to fall in love with you the minute I opened my eyes and you were unchaining me. My wolf side was the same."

"Huh?"

"Danny you know how normal wolves mate for life?"

"Yeah."

"Well it's the same with werewolves. We mate for life."

"So what does that mean for me?"

"Nothing for now. We date and see how it goes. I'm not forcing you into anything you don't want."

"Steve I like you. Why do you think I stuck around as long as I did? If I didn't I wouldn't have put up with the pack's harassment for so long and would be back at HPD regardless of anything you did. Even kissing me."

"Danny I'm sorry about what's happened."

"Steve it's not your fault they didn't listen to you."

"I know but..."

"Steve don't."

Steve sighed and looked back down at where Danny had been injured.

"Show me again." Steve said and Danny looked at him unsure.

"You not going to phase again are you? I can't talk to you when you are like that."

"No I should be alright. I'm still angry but I should be alright."

Danny sighed and pulled the pant leg up again and removed the bandage and watched as Steve looked at it carefully. The marks were slightly red around the edges but wasn't any worse than when he received it.

"It's all good Steve it will heal."

Steve sighed and backed off when Danny put the bandage back on and his pant leg down. Danny smiled and looked back at him and saw that Steve wasn't looking at him.

"Steve?"

"You still haven't answered me."

"Answered what?"

"If you will go out with me."

"Steve I can't. I can't risk Grace's life."

"I'm going to be dealing with this Sunday. You and Grace will be safe."

"Steve."

"Danny nothing will happen to either of you. Grace and you can stay the night of the barbecue then the afternoon after the barbecue you drop Grace home, I will take you with Chin and Kono to meet the pack and we will sort this out once and for all."

Danny looked torn between saying yes and no. Steve leaned in closer and kissed him again and wrapping his hand around the back of his neck. Danny moaned and held onto Steve's arms kissing him back. When they pulled away to breath Steve kept him close.

"Don't tell me you don't want it." Steve said softly.

"Unfortunately I can't. You know this won't stay quiet for long." Steve chuckled at this and kissed him again. "Besides nothing will stop it." Danny said when they broke away again. "We should get some sleep. It's already past midnight and I have to pick up Grace at eight."

"Alright. Can't promise I won't try this again tomorrow."

Danny chuckled and laid down next to Steve with the light being turned off before they headed off to sleep.
