Zero snarled, squirming between two massive paws and glaring up into those bloody red eyes. He fucking loved that shirt and the damn wolf just had the rip it?! Logically, he really should be more worried about his safety, but DAMN IT!

The werewolf was looking down at him with a look of obvious amusement on his face, which only pissed Zero off more. He was sure his cloak was covered in leaves and twigs by now, the once pure red color probably ruined by the dirt. He reached for his gun in his anger, running on instinct and adrenaline.

The werewolf's eyes narrowed and it snapped its massive teeth at him, almost as if scolding a child, and Zero froze, lilac meeting blood as they engaged in what could only be called a staring match. Zero cringed as he felt that voice intrude in his head again.

You aren't stupid, little hunter. You know I can easily disarm you before you get more than two shots in, and your cute little bullets won't do much more than burn me and hurt a little. I'm far too powerful for them to do any real damage. Don't even bother. All you have on you is one gun, why do you think I ripped your shirt open?

Zero glared up at the smug looking monster before he glanced around quickly, looking for something, anything, to help him get away. Unfortunately for Zero, from the looks of it he was well and truly trapped.

He looked back up, glare returning as he met eyes that met his with a see? You're trapped.

"Why the hell are you harrassing me? Don't you have anything better to do? Go kill a rabbit or bang that bitch that was wanting to jump on your dick a few moments ago. It's not as if I'm trying to cause trouble."

What could only be described as a snort came from the creature above him, it's eyes narrowing as its gaze raked down his body in a way that had Zero torn between disbelieving laughter and horror.

To be honest, would much rather bang you before coming within a few feet of that 'bitch', as you call Ruka.

Oh hell no. No way was a werewolf flirting with him.

"Like hell! Fuck off!"

Such a foul mouth, I think those pretty pink lips would be better suited for something else.

"No thanks, I don't like sucking dog dick. Don't you have a knot or some shit?"

Zero inhaled sharply as the sound of snapping and shifting bones filled the forest and right before his eyes, where a huge wolf had been only seconds before, was a guy, a hot one. Zero couldn't help but let his eyes track up and down their body, a hot body and chocolate colored hair that looked silky to the touch, those scary red eyes had darkened and were almost a wine color now, darkening as they took took him in, in turn.

Damn werewolves and their supernatural hotness and damn his bisexual soul for instantly being attracted to the monster in human form that was currently on top of him.

The still obviously amused guy gazed down at him as he spoke, the most sinful voice leaving those soft looking lips that were curled into a slight smirk.

"Mhhh, yes, I do have a knot. Are you curious, little hunter? I bet you'd take it so well, you look like you were made to take dick, so soft and curves in all the right places. You smell divine too."

Whoa whoa whoa, hold up. I know I've put on some weight because of eating with Cross more, but curvy?!

Zero blinked in shock, his mouth hanging open for a few seconds before he gathered his thoughts enough to put a sentence together.

"You just discovered my existence like a few minutes ago and you're seriously trying to get in my pants? Fucking horndog."

Zero couldn't help but stare as a pink tongue licked across the perfect mouth of the werewolf above him, everything about the creature tried to mess with his reasoning and self control. It was almost as if the werewolf was a magnet.

A low chuckle brough his eyes up further to meet that intense stare.

"No but your scent calls to me. I want you."

Zero sighed, rolling his eyes. "Well, tough luck then because no way in hell is that happening."

Zero almost jumped as he felt a hot hand trail suggestively down his chest and stomach, where his nice and soft shirt should of been. Fuck, he still wasn't over that.

The fact that he had shifted into his human form was to Zero's advantage, the Were was a lot more weak in this form, though still freaky strong, and it would be a little easier to get away.

Looks like it was time for the classic knee between the legs, Zero almost wanted to wince in sympathy.

Zero snapped his knee up, scrambling out from under and away from the werewolf now holding himself and snarling in anger and pain.

"And this would be my signal to leave. I'm really sorry about that, I'm sure you'll recover in no time! See ya wolfy!"

Zero took off, darting through the trees and shedding his cloak as he did so. As much as he didn't want to it was only logical to leave it. It would hinder him and make him an easier target. And this time he actually needed to blend in.

He pumped his legs as fast as they would go, forcing himself faster and faster as he heard an enraged howl from behind him.

Well crap, that didn't take long.

He made sure he still had his bag and the package secured before making a sharp left, going downhill. He knew he wouldn't have a chance if he went uphill and-.

Zero gasped as he came upon what could only be an eletrical fence. There were numerous hunter charms on it that prevented anything supernatural from entering. He quickly crouched and jumped through the space between a couple of the wires, safely rolling to a stop on the other side. He looked up and shakily gasped. The werewolf was standing quietly on the other side in it's true form, towering over him. It looked kind of pissed off but at the same time it looked...satisfied? Had he played right into its hands somehow?

You just trapped yourself, little hunter.

With those last threatening words the werewolf stalked away, leaving a shivering Zero on the ground.

"Shit!"

XxX

Zero wandered away from the fence,

quickly scoping out his surroundings with narrowed eyes. Now that he had calmed down he was regretting his decision. The werewolf hadn't been kidding when it had said he was trapped. He could literally feel it.

He walked further into the woods before, much to his surprise, coming across a cabin. It looked old and dusty but the smell of smoke from a fire came from within and he knew somebody had to live there. He was about to go onto the porch when the door swung open, a gun aimed right for his face.

Zero froze, body tensing and hands going up in a display of surrender as he took in what he could only assume was the hunter responsible for the charms. He had shoulder length black hair and cold blue eyes, he was also wearing an eye patch, which Zero caught a few seconds later, hair covering most of it so that he had missed it at first.

He realised that while he had been studying the man, the man had been studying him too.

The gun lowered and the man spoke in a low voice, still sounding slightly hostile.

"Who are you and why did you come here? I don't want to hear any bullshit, I'll be able to tell if you're lying."

Zero licked his lips nervously, shifting from one foot to the other.

"I was sent here to deliver a package to a couple of hunters up on Láng Mountain. Though, I wasn't very far into the journey up when I got detained. Who are you, if I may ask?"

The man's expression turned grave as he cursed lowly and walked back into the cabin, gesturing for Zero to follow him.

"The name's Yagari, kid. Those hunters you speak of are long gone, have been for months now."

Zero frowned as he watched Yagari close the door and lock it behind him, before setting the gun down.

"Where did they go?"

A snort came from the older man as he removed his hat, running his hands through his hair in obvious stress.

"They didn't go anywhere kid. They were killed, ripped limb from limb. And what I'm wanting to know is how the hell you, obviously a young and inexperienced hunter, managed to survive walking through a werewolf infested forest. One of the most ruthless packs live here, and their alpha is one of the most powerful of their kind in existence. There is no way you should be alive and in my home right now. Yet here you stand. Why?"

Zero winced, glancing out one of the windows, taking in the quickly darkening forest outside. "I-...the werewolves killed them? I did encounter a couple of them. This alpha you speak of, does he have dark fur and blood red eyes? I think I ran into him. Well, more like he found me. He said something about me being trapped after I slid through the fence."

Zero watched as the man visibly paled before opening the door and walking out of the cabin. Zero following after him until they arrived at part of the charmed fence, the part Zero has come through. The older hunter touched the fence and cursed loudly before grabbing Zero's arm and shoving him back towards the cabin.

"What's going on? Why are you freaking out?"

Zero received no answer as he was pushed into the cabin and shoved into a corner of the room.

Zero twitched, wanting to bolt as he watched the forest around them grow darker in the passing minutes as the other man ran back and forth between rooms, grabbing things. After a few minutes the man turned to him, eyes wild.

"You fool. You've doomed us both. They are coming here for you, why?!"

"Like hell if I- oh..." Zero trailed off, face paling. "Oh shit the alpha wants me."

Obviously Yagari knew what he was saying because a disbelieving noise left his mouth as he stared Zero down.

"Just my damn luck. The future Luna of a werewolf pack stumbling into my territory. Get your ass over here and grab some extra bullets for your weapon, I'm sure as hell not defending you."

Zero quickly grabbed several rounds, stuffing them into his bag and reloading Rose. He checked to make sure the package was still secure, not that it really mattered now, and took a deep breath before taking the bread that was offered to him and scarfing it down, his hunger shining through his worry for a brief moment. The older hunter handed him a canister of water, telling him go drink up before walking into the other room. Several minutes later he came back, telling Zero to follow him into what must have been the bathroom. Zero took in the filled tub with wide eyes.

"You filled a bath for me? Why?"

Yagari looked to the side, sighing before backing up toward the door. "You need a good washing after all the running you've probably done today. Just be thorough but quick."

Zero was happy to follow orders, bathing and washing the dirt and sweat of the day off, nearly dozing off in the process. He had to force himself to stay awake and alert. Even if the man was a hunter, Zero didn't know if he could trust him.

XxX

Night had fallen, the forest alight with noises of nature as Zero pulled a slightly large, but clean shirt over his head. It was black and long sleeved like his other shirt had been, which he was grateful for. He decided to keep the pants, and changed into a fresh pair of boxers. Thank god he had though to bring a couple of other pairs. He had an extra pair of pants too but he didn't want to use them unless it was absolutely necessary.

He grabbed his gun, bolstering it and securing his bag before following Yagari out of the cabin. The older man looking grim. They walked almost silently through the woods, their footsteps faint compared to the noise of wildlife around them.

"Here's how it's going to go, kid. I know exactly what that package you were supposed to deliver is. It has valuable information about different werewolf packs across the world and gives us directions on how to navigate around them and possibly infiltrate them and take them down. The Hunters you were supposed to give that to were the ones that were going to relay the information to headquarters. We have to get you out of here if we can. The alpha of the pack here is very powerful, he can easily break through the barrier, but he assumes that I'll bring you to him so he'll continue to leave me alone for now. He doesn't know that you have that kind of information. We are going to meet them and I'm going to have to get them more relaxed. Once they think they have you, I will tell you and you will run. Run as fast as you can and don't look back. I'll try to hold them off."

Zero looked at him, feeling sad. He knew what the hunter was doing. He would likely die helping Zero get away and there was nothing the younger hunter could do about it, though he knew it was for a good cause.

They arrived at the gate of the fence soon after, Yagari muttering a few words that made the gate briefly glow before slowly swinging open as they walked through.

Yagari tensed and it was Zero's only warning before he suddenly grabbed Zero, pinning his arms behind his back painfully. Zero squirmed, trying to appear afraid and surprised. He didn't have to pretend for much longer, because the alpha, along with a couple of other wolves, emerged from the shadows. Their razor sharp teeth showing in horrifying displays of mocking grins.

Zero whimpered as Yagari kneed his back lightly causing him to arch and his chest to push out as the alpha came up to them. It took everything he had not to cry out when a long snout brushed up against his upper body, teeth grazing dangerously over one of his nipples. He looked into that glowing red gaze for a second before looking to the side, trying to ignore the rumbling laughter that passed through his head.

Suddenly he was jerked back and thrown to the side, the older hunter telling him to run. Zero took off, the sounds of snarling and gun shots fading behind him as his long legs carried him quickly through the forest.

He knew he didn't have enough time to escape, hell, he didn't hardly have time to do anything. He had to hide somewhere. He had to mask his scent.

He ran through a small stream, grabbing the base of a tree that was growing on the other side and scaling it without actually touching the bank. The tree was heavily covered, leaves providing a pitch black covering for him as he huddled down, trying to calm his breathing as he heard and saw one of the smaller werewolves run up, the second right behind it. They sniffed the ground, tracking his scent to the stream where it disappear and snarling before running across it and darting off, trying to find his scent again.

He could hear his heartbeat thudding in his ears and wanted to scream because he knew they should've heard it too. He was fucked. Any moment now he was sure they would circle back and attack him.

The sound of thudding reached his ears and he curled in on himself as he saw the alpha reach the other side of the bank. His blood red eyes, glowing in the dark, immediately swung to his hiding spot, bloody fangs baring themselves in a mock grin, eyes laughing at his futile attempt to hide from him.

The werewolf stared at him a few more moments before sitting back, waiting. He was waiting. Waiting for Zero to hopelessly try to escape again.

Zero's eyes cleched shut as he buried his face in his knees.

He really was trapped.

Fuck.
