Chapter 1

(Arthur)

Werewolves and magic users had been found out about almost twenty years ago and Uther Pendragon a billionaire who owned several multi-million dollar companies now hunted them and used his companies to do it he was also the a senator but never did anything to help the country. Arthur Pendragon had been presumed dead when he had disappeared almost four years ago. Only a few people who had know him knew the truth. Arthur had been out on a full moon and was bitten by a werewolf and his friend and physician Gaius had found him during the transformation. Gaius and many other people sympathized with the magic users and werewolves for their plight that Uther had cast upon them just for being what they were. Bounty hunters who just wanted to get paid had come up with an idea to carry werewolf venom in vials and when they find someone they would infect the person with the venom wait till they change then they would kill them then collect the bounty.

Arthur and all of his closest friends had been changed at one point or another in some way all but one of them had been bitten and when they had they had come to the live at 'the den' as Arthur called it the only one who had not been bitten was Arthur's half sister Morgana she had infected herself to piss off Uther and Gaius told Uther she had not survived the transformation when in fact she had and was now living with the rest of them at the den. It was a place that Arthur had built deep in the woods where not many ventured it had plenty of wildlife to hunt in either human or wolf form, no one but those who were told of its location knew where it was so it was safe, and it had everything they needed and Gaius would come and visit periodically to see how they were and give them anything they needed but could not go out and buy.

Everyone who lived there had found their mate with one of the others except Arthur and some of them were gay so it was kind of funny. Werewolf mates did not need to be male and female they could be two males or two females also and it was interesting to see the pairings in their small pack. Gwen was with Lancelot, Gwain was with Percival, Morgana was with Leon, and Mordred was with Freya. The only one of them who did not have anyone was Arthur and he was the alpha of the pack and Leon was his beta or second in command. Sometimes it just got too much for Arthur to see all his friends had mates in each other while he had no one and would decided that he needed to some time alone tonight was one of those nights and it was a full moon. There was going to be could cover most of the night but until that happened all of them would have no choice but to shift it was compulsory. They could shift anytime freely except when the full moon was out if the moon light of the full moon touched their skin in any way it was compulsory to shift and they could not shift back unless the moon was completely covered by clouds which it would be most of tonight but not until later. But Arthur did not know that this night his life was going to changed again but in a good way and in a way he never would expect.

Arthur was alone standing on a hill that overlooked the small town close by it was where Gaius lived. It retrospect the small town was practically a glorified village. Arthur knew Gaius had a nephew who he never let out except at night because his nephew Merlin Emrys was warlock one of the few born with his abilities. Arthur had never met the boy and knew little about him because Gaius wanted to keep him secret so that he would stay safe. The full moon would be rising soon and Arthur's pack was not too far away to hear him if he sent out the call for help but Arthur wanted some time alone. His plan was to just wonder the outskirts of the town and just watch how it all played out. He just hoped he would not run into any hunters because that would be a pain in the ass to deal with tonight.

Arthur watched as the moon slowly rose waiting. The closer the time got to when the moonlight would finally hit his skin the more he felt the call of the earth and wild around almost begging him to shift. It always kindred a joy like no other in Arthur when he shifted he felt free it was like nothing else in the world mattered at that moment and he could just let loose as the ran through the woods without a care in the world. Even in human form his senses were much keener than a normal humans by about ten times but in wolf form his keen senses were twenty times better than that of a humans.

The first rays of moonlight touched his skin and Arthur sighed with relief the call had almost been unbearable at that point. The shift was painless and was over in half a minute. In wolf form Arthur was about the chest high to a human, he had bluish fur speckled with gold, and his eyes remained the same piercing sea blue. Arthur lay down on the hill watching the city for almost an hour until he heard and smelt six people crunching through the brush coming right for him. Arthur growled under his breath thinking "Of course hunters why can't my planes ever work out right when I go out on my own. Well best I can do now is find a more defensible position in the town because there is no way I can do that out here." Arthur got up and loped away towards the town slinking through the shadows as he did so but he also sent out the call to his pack for help but knew it would take them a while to get to him.

Soon Arthur was backed up against a wall in an ally not far from Gaius's apartment with five of the hunters surrounding him and taunting him while the sixth was hidden somewhere watching from the shadows where Arthur could not see him but he could sure smell him and hear him when he chuckled. Arthur was snapping at hands and growling threateningly thinking "This just isn't my night." Just as Arthur was ready to attack them a young boy probably only a year younger than him jumped in between him and the men yelling at them to stop. Arthur felt a wave of protectiveness he had never felt for anyone before come over him for the boy in front of him he knew at the moment he would do anything he could to protect this boy if he could though he did not understand why. It was going to be one interesting night.
