~Just do what is right Nae.~ I thought to myself sarcastically as I dashed through the woods, gunfire chasing me as I cradled the terrified wolf to my chest. My breathing was getting haggard but I didn't slow down, weaving through the thick undergrowth to try and lose the bullets hunting us down. I grunted as one clipped my shoulder, but ignored it, leaping over a fallen tree. ~Well, I always knew I'd probably lose my life one day trying to do the right thing.~ I skidded to a stop as the leader of the hunters I had fallen into cut me off, his gun aimed at my forehead. I ducked to the side and he fired, I braced myself, shouldering him out of my way as I bulldozed past. I was close to a pack border now, or I should be...I think. Damn it. A rope with weights around it wrapped around my legs and the pup in my arms was sent tumbling as I fell hard. I bent and cut through the rope immediately, dashing for the pup as a hunter reached out for him. I socked him in the face, sending him grunting away from us, but before I could scoop up the pup, more were on us. I covered the young one with my body, accepting the kicks and punches, the hits of a baton and screamed when someone tazed me.614Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTA6Vezv7D
"This ends now." The leader said angrily, coming over with my head in his sights once more. I looked up at him through my blond hair and grinned, blood dripping from the corner of my mouth. The muzzle of my gun finally caught his eye by my side, his eyes widening before I pulled the trigger, his head jerking back as the bullet hit home. There were shouts around us and I stood, drawing my other gun. Bullets rained. I fired as fast as I could, each shot a kill shot. I got hit in the shoulder, one winging my cheek. Another hit my side, then my hip. One to my thigh brought me to my knees. One to the back of my shoulder and another to my back. The last one to my hand forced the gun from my hand before I killed the last hunter, a youth barely in his twenties.
~I can't believe I survived that.~ I was a lucky bastard, at least for now. Who knows how fast I would find my death as I bled out. I scooped up the puppy in one hand and stumbled to my feet, making my bloody way from tree to tree, toward what should be a pack territory. My vision was getting blurry as I focused on simply moving forward. The hand that I held the maned wolf puppy to my chest with was shaking, as was the rest of my body. Blood dripped down from the corner of my mouth as I panted for breath, but I kept moving forward. Finally, finally I saw wolves appear before me. Three grey wolves, one with a scar over his left eye, and the last wolf was a red wolf. I dropped to my knees, setting the puppy down, who turned to look at me. "Is this...Red...Heart...Pack." The wolves looked at one another as one of the grey wolves stepped forward. "Take care of this kid...would you?" My world spun and I fell over onto my side, I breathed out a sigh and lost consciousness.614Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYFKFNcPL5
I woke up to a darkened room, slowly realizing I was laying on a bed in the arms of someone completely ripped, like the Rock ripped, holy muscles batman! "What...the hell." I muttered as I leaned up, assessing the stabs of pain from my bullet wounds.614Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡik6evjWVdy
"You sure you should be up so soon?" A gravely voice asked from behind me. Muscle man.614Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFphYHp3ljj
I didn't turn to look at him, not wanting the pain from my wounds. "Yeah, I'm fine. What happened?"614Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1ckMxUnto
"Perhaps you should tell us that Hunter." He growled.614Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdfngNjS9o
"Yeah, I'm a Hunter to protect those that need it, be they human or otherwise."614Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8YovleB0D
"That's...not my definition of a Hunter." I shrugged, then hissed in pain, regretting it. He leaned up his huge form behind me, reaching out toward my arm, stopping when he realized how tense I was, my focus on him. "We're lucky my blood was compatible with yours. My healing enzymes will help with the healing, but you should still take it easy."614Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7v49ICTQ5d
"Thanks. Must be weird helping a Hunter."614Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUBZDZRfY1
"As weird as a Hunter helping a Werewolf." He said, the smirk evident in his tone.614Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRJAW2Xe1S
"I'm Mari Naenia MacDougall. Call me Nae or Naenia."614Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNPJCwcyJB
"Jiro."614Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxv9zRzNZdy
I smiled, "Nice to meet you Jiro."614Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwUNzXEvHe
"Are you hungry? Dawn is still an hour away or so, but I can get you something to eat now..."614Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbedQlaihZz
"No, I'll wait." My stomach rumbled and by Jiro's snicker, he'd heard.614Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXWAwVz69G
"Wait here." He climbed his huge mass out of the bed and I was gifted with a view of his backside and blushed. He'd been naked. ~Stupid wolves.~ He was huge. Standing probably around 6'4'' which dwarfed my 5'6''. And like I had felt before, this boy worked out. He also had the long, ruggish hair thing going on and I was fascinated with how his brown locks were sun-kissed to blond at the end. He liked to be outside. ~Well, duh, he's a wolf...~ He left the door partially open as he left and soon after, a beautiful asian woman my height came in, bowing her head, her dark eyes searching me, hesitating on all my wounds. I looked down, glad they had left me my cloths, though my weapons had all been stripped away. I was a hunter after all...but on the flip side...I was a human in a wolf's den.... I shook the thought away, I was confident with my skills, even without my weapons on me. I was wearing a silver necklace with a lock on it as a pendent. As well as silver studs and hoops in my ears and technically those could count as weapons...614Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHYsAsq3RT
I focused on the woman before me, she wore a white sleeveless shirt and matching loose pants, and held a blood pressure cuff as well as a thermometer in her hands. "I'm Mai Yoshida. The pack doctor, and the one who bandaged you up. I'm here to take your vitals." I nodded and she came closer.614Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPI6zKj4OMA
"Mai!" An asian man rushed into the room, eyeing us. He stood about 5 inches taller then us, with medium length hair and a mustache and beard. "I told you not to approach her by yourself!" He hissed angrily. Mai actually grunted and gave him the cold shoulder as she picked up my wrist, making the male growl.614Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFQjTT5fNQ
Another growl sounded at the doorway and we all looked to see Jiro was back in all his nude glory, with a tray laden with a bowl of soup and a glass of water. I noticed a scar through his eyebrow and wondered if he was perhaps the scarred wolf from before. "What are you doing Goro?"614Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9C73MaVMsy
"Making sure your Hunter doesn't hurt my mate." The asian man sneered. Jiro lowered his gaze at that and came forward to set the tray on his bedside table near me.614Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBZmaKpznH
"Ignore him." Mai said calmly. Goro grunted and crossed his arms over his chest...actually looking a little like a pouting child. Mai took my vitals before smiling at me, "Your levels are in good range, I'll check in with you again in the morning."614Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaEw5m7XHw
I nodded. "Thank you." The two left the room, leaving me with the huge mass of muscle who sat on end of the bed with his back a little toward me. I raised an eyebrow but didn't comment, instead taking up the bowl of chicken noodle and setting the spoon down, instead raising the bowl to my lips and drinking the broth, accepting a noodle or piece of chicken here or there. I paused as the broth was getting low. "Will the Red Heart Pack accept the kid?"614Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrSU5sdty5
"Yes." He said in a low voice. I sighed in relief. "Why are you looking out for him?"614Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmi3EJCUiO
"Because he needed it." The large werewolf shook his head, but didn't comment as he rested his arms on his knees. I picked up my spoon and ate the noodles and chicken as well as drained the last of the broth before draining the glass of water.614Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAw0rbfFQwt
"Need more?"614Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3dphLnSbv
I thought I might get thirsty later, but I didn't want to make the poor guy go get it for me. "No." He climbed into bed and I slowly laid down next to him. It was strange...but it was also the middle of the night...I could wait till morning to learn my fate.614Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8mPsPuRn4
