krystalkatzficz | The war part 43

Nino stood in the centre of the compound. Although his eyes were on the floor his wolf had already taken a map by scent. It wasn’t perfect in his human form, but it would be enough for him to get out. At least, he would if his arm wasn’t broken. The smug little vampire had gone over to a group of younger vampires and was boasting about his capture. Everything about him set his wolf on edge and he wished he could get him alone and keep to his threat of ripping his hand off. The little bastard deserved it. If only for the overwhelming lust that he could smell coming off him when he looked at Satoshi. The man was completely obvious but seemed to think that he wouldn’t be punished.

“Ohno, why do you have the prince of the werewolves with you?” A smooth, silky, voice asked, and Nino risked a glance upwards before dropping his head back down. The man speaking was young, and good looking with longish hair. He was wearing a shirt that was only a little bit dirty and black trousers. From the glance that Nino got of him he was defined.

“It was Sho’s idea, that was dumb, but it paid off…” Satoshi answered grabbing Nino by the back of the neck and pulling his face up. Nino growled his eyes flashing a bright yellow as he started to kick out. There was no way that he was going to appear to be meek, at least not now while his whole body wanted to go into fight mode. “He’s a spirited little bitch”

“I wish the prince would inform us of his plans” The silky voiced vampire hissed coming forward and punching him straight into the stomach. The pain caused him to double over and cough as the air was knocked out of his body. “Take him to the cells”

“I don’t think so” A crisp female voice spoke now, and Nino felt Satoshi tense and he looked up to see a beautiful woman walking towards them. Her eyes were hard, and her lips set into a determined line. She came to stand in front of them all having a silent, angry conversation with Satoshi before speaking again. “He may be a werewolf, but he is a prince”

“So, we should lay down a red carpet?” Chinen sneered from over where he was standing with his friends. There was a round of laughter from the group he was with and the beautiful woman glared at him silencing him with a sharp hiss. The boy looked mutinous, but he did shut up and Nino very nearly let out a laugh but was silenced by Satoshi’s hand squeezing at the back of his neck.

“If my brother wanted him brought here then I highly doubt he would want him dying in the cells. I know it might be difficult for you, Chinen but please try to use half the brain you were given” She said crisply. “There is an apartment in the building across from us. Take him there, husband”

“Yes, wife. You’re not going to cause any problems, are you bitch?” Satoshi asked, and Nino shook his head slowly while flashing glares at the vampires around them. Satoshi smacked him around the head and Satoshi’s wife let out a small laugh.

“Take him there now and get him cleaned up. Is my brother coming to camp?” The woman asked almost gently as the tree of them started walking away from the crowds. Satoshi’s hand was still on the back of his neck but the grip had lessoned somewhat.

“He has gone to talk to your father”

“I hope you both know what you’re playing at” She growled, and Satoshi let out a small sigh that didn’t sound all that convinced. Nino knew that his mate hated this plan, but Nino knew that it was the only one he had. If he could convince the vampire king, then maybe he could save his father. It wasn’t as though he wanted to go head to head with his own father.

The pair of vampires lapsed into silence and Nino flared his nostrils. It took him a long time to get over the stench of the vampires but once again he was able to map out the area pretty well. He was taken to what he assumed was a more residential part of the compound and he smelt the sweet scent of Satoshi mingled with the woman at his side. He felt himself almost whine at the scent his body coiling with jealousy and something else that was almost longing. He struggled against the bonds around his wrist and whimpered as he felt the crunching of the bones in his wrist.

“Calm down” Satoshi growled against his ear and Nino wanted to do that, but his inner wolf was howling loudly, and he pulled at the rope harder. He hadn’t expected this, even when he had learned that Satoshi had a child he hadn’t experienced anything like the feelings that were going through him now. “Puppy…”

“Shut up…” Nino snarled before grunting as his mate hit him in the stomach and then at the back of his head. He struggled to stay awake, but Satoshi had hit him in just the right place and he slumped forward into a faint.

*~*~*~*~*~*

When he woke he was on a bed with his hands tied up above his head and there was a rope around his waist. His wounds appeared to have been treated and he shivered looking around and finding his mate standing at a doorway. His back was rigid and his eyes were more alert than Nino had ever seen them before and Nino realised why this man was known as the beast amongst werewolves.

“I’m sorry for tying you up, puppy, but with the way you were acting I had to make sure…” Satoshi sighed moving forward almost warily before asking “What happened?”

“My wolf caught the scent of your child. It wanted to go to her” Nino sighed through his answer trying to make himself more comfortable on the bed. It was difficult when his arms were set in the position they were. Something flickered over Satoshi’s face and Nino let out a scoffing sound “It didn’t want to hurt her, I’m your submissive mate, I probably wanted to make sure she was okay”

“She’s fine, she’s with her mother. Would you be okay if I untied you?”

“I don’t know, it’s best not to risk it at the moment” Nino admitted softly wiggling his hips around before falling back. “I guess I didn’t make a good impression on your wife”

“She believed that it was part of our pretence. She is not happy at the moment” Satoshi chuckled coming to the bed and sitting beside him, his hand resting on his stomach and Nino sighed closing his eyes.

“I can imagine that she wouldn’t be. Have you told her our plan?”

“Yes, she wants the war to end as much as we do, puppy, but she isn’t convinced that this will work” Satoshi’s smile was rueful, and Nino had the distinct impression that the woman had hit him in some way when telling her. He rolled his shoulders in a shrug and let out a hum of his own;

“We don’t know that yet, we can try”

A/N: I hope that this is okay >.<
