Title: Hungry Like The Wolf
Authors: Sailor Twilight & Granitite Stone (granitite@yahoo.com)
Disclaimer: Let's see... if I owned them I'd be the happiest person in the universe, but since I don't... I guess I'm just happy that people like me (who are poor) can write fanfiction and live out our little fantasies (like I said, I'm poor, can't get any money from us college kids). Yes, title is stolen from the title of a Duran Duran song... I am not too original on titles, but hey... who really cares? JKR owns the characters, but it's my plot! You hear me? My plot! *rocks back in forth in her corner, cuddling her Remus and Sirius plushies* ~ From this point on, we introduce two original characters. Both of them belong to Sailor Twilight, and are actual copyrighted characters. Do not use them without permission from her first.
The woman who keeps insisting to take up review space with the argument about copyrights, etc.- Please just email us already! In case you did not know this, the review button leads you to a window for REVIEWING. Not a podium for arguing. We are only interested in what you think of the story, not the disclaimer. Who reads disclaimers anyway? As for my characters, once I'm actually published I don't care if anyone uses them in fan fiction. In the meantime, I ask out of respect from my fellow fan fiction authors to please not use my original characters without permission. This also protects them from being blamed of plagiarism. Please do not review our story with a response to this, just email us or let it be already! Thank you. ^__^ I appreciate it.
Summary: Set during and after GOF. Sirius reflects his problems into a bottle, while Remus learns a dark secret from Sophious's past- and later meets the rest of the pack.
Pairing: Sirius and Remus (*yummy*)
Rating: R. THIS IS A SLASH STORY.
Lobo leapt back so fast he knocked a small group of dancers over, and almost fell over himself, dodging Sirius's attack. He scrambled backward too quickly and smacked hard against the edge of a table. He and the table toppled over, and Sirius leapt at him again. This time he moved fast enough, and his fist connected with the side of Lobo's jaw.
Lobo, who had been hesitant to fight the Azkaban escapee at first, now attacked back out of defensive anger. His best weapon had always been his mouth. "What the fuck was that for?" He glared at the convict as pain radiated from the blow.
"That was for touching my mate!"
Lobo's mind flashed back to a few nights ago, putting a stake through a female vampire's heart. 'Her thrall…' He could hear Azimodeus and his undead crew laughing over the din of the crowd, obviously entertained by his pain. "No bloody familiar's gonna take me down, even if it is Sirius Black!" He snarled, then attacked Sirius.
The brawl had caught the attention of some people nearby, and while most stayed to watch, a few others went to call the police.
And then the Calvary arrived, Sophious screaming, "Get your hands off him!"
Remus and Blaze arrived at the scene first, pushing their way through the crowd. Remus was not a happy werewolf. "As if it wasn't bad enough you sneak into my home, you have to follow me when I go out?!" He pulled Sirius away, and Blaze managed to keep Lobo from breaking loose.
Remus took in the scene. Overturned tables, glasses shattered on the floor, and two men who were sometimes more animal than human snarling at each other. "You just don't get it, do you Sirius? Stay away from me, and stay away from my friends!"
"Wait-" Lobo held up his hand, pointed to Sirius. "You know this minion?"
"Unfortunately, he's my mate." Remus looked disgusted.
"The police are coming!" Kalika came running over to them. "We have to get out of here now!"
"I say we leave him for the coppers and bug off," Lobo growled, wiping away the trickle of blood that oozed from a wound on his forehead.
Moony snarled at him, and Remus knew he had no choice in the matter. "Come on before I change my mind," he tugged Sirius by the arm. His tone of voice was not one to question, so Sirius simply obeyed.
The pack left the club, and seconds later the police pulled into the lot, sirens wailing and lights flashing.
"Change forms. I'm not getting caught with you like this."
Knowing Remus was a force to be reckoned with in this mood, Sirius complied. Lobo's jaw dropped, his words caught in his throat. Blaze and Kalika weren't much better.
It was just in time. A cop stopped them outside of the bar. "Excuse me, sir. Did you see this man? He's an escaped convict, very dangerous." He held up a Muggle photograph of Sirius.
Remus just smiled a little. "Only escaped convict we have is Padfoot. Keeps leaving the house when he's not supposed to."
Sirius whimpered.
-----
"Ow!" Lobo howled in pain as Sophious cleaned his cuts with alcohol.
"I want you to remember this the next time you pick a fight with Remus' boyfriend." She threw out the bloody cloth.
"I didn't start nothing! He went after me first!" Lobo shot an angry glare at Sirius. "What makes you think I'm after your mate, anyway?"
"Don't deny it! I saw the two of you in bed!" Sirius wasn't going to let Lobo play the innocent victim here.
Sophious arched an eyebrow. "And why wasn't I invited?"
"We never - I - He's lying!" Lobo blushed furiously. "Remus, tell her we never… well, you know!"
Remus just patted Sophious on the shoulder. "Next time, you can join us."
Sirius produced a remarkably canine-like growl, and Lobo kept sputtering. He was suddenly glad the rest of the pack had left; he didn't want them to see their Alpha like this.
Remus burst out laughing. "Merlin, you'll buy anything, won't you, Sirius?"
"You and he aren't, aren't - he- he- was touching your scar! He was all over you!"
"Not like I could, Sirius. I’m stuck with you for the rest of my life."
There was a long awkward silence that was only interrupted by Lobo hissing as Sophious continued to clean his wounds. She wiped off the last of the blood. "Lobo, why don't you and Remus go into the kitchen? I want to talk to Mr. Black alone."
"You want me to leave you along with this murdering scum?" Lobo rubbed across a cut. "No way."
"He's not a murderer, he's a rotten boyfriend, but he's not a killer." Remus lead Lobo out of the room. "I'll explain."
She waited until they were both gone before she spoke. "Do you have any idea what you've done to him?"
"I didn't mean to!" Sirius was getting sick of this. "My godson almost died four times in a matter of weeks! I'm sorry I forgot to leave Remus a note, I'm sorry I didn't tell him about Peter, and I'm sorry he's stuck with me, alright?!"
Sophious didn't say anything, just tended to his cuts and bruises and studied him for a moment. Finally, she asked softly, "Do you still love him?"
"Of course I still love him!" Sirius sighed. "But I really did it this time. He's not gonna forgive me again. I wasted my second chance." He tried to hide the way his voice cracked in the end, but failed miserably.
She tenderly cupped his chin in her hands and forced him to look into her eyes. "There's still time to make things right, Sirius. He still loves you."
"He certainly has a nice way of showing it, doesn't he?" He forced a short laugh.
"Remus is angry with you, and he has the right to feel that way. You made a mistake, and now you have to set things right." Sophious said softly. "When you left him without saying goodbye, something inside of Remus snapped. Something from the past still haunts him, and that is why he is so upset with you. You're the only one who can find out what is really bothering Remus."
Sirius couldn't believe what he was hearing. "Why are you doing this?"
She smiled. "Because you and Remus have a very special bond, and I'm going to make sure that nothing ruins that." With that, she left the room, leaving Sirius to wonder what that meant. He opened the door, and ran straight into Lobo.
"Hello, Puppy." He licked his canines. "You're a real bastard, you know?"
"I'm not in the mood for this right now." Sirius narrowed his eyes, irritated.
"You know, you aren't so scary now that I know your little secret. So much for the infamous Muggle-killer Sirius Black. And I know your type- I've seen it before." Lobo advanced on Sirius, glaring right back at him and getting up in his face. "Remus belongs to us now. He's in my pack, and I'm going to make sure that you never hurt him again. You understand? Remus doesn't belong to you anymore."
Something snapped inside of him. "He'll always belong to me!" He bellowed, and Sirius attacked Lobo in a rage.
The noise reached the kitchen, and Remus threw the door open. "What the fuck is going on here?"
Fingers wrapped around Sirius's neck, Lobo looked up like a chastised child. "Um…"
Growling, he ripped Lobo off Sirius, and threw him across the room. "My first years had more self control than this. Sophious, take Mr. Testosterone home. Sirius, the heat's off. Get the hell out of my house."
He took a deep breath and coughed. "Remus-"
"Get out!" And he said nothing more until everyone left.
A few moments later, there was a knock on the door. "I'm not letting you in!"
Something heavy fell to the floor. "Then I have a real problem, Professor Lupin."
A sinking feeling in his chest, Remus opened the door to reveal… Harry Potter.

"I've lied/to you
The same way that I always do
This is/the last smile
That I'll fake for the sake of being with you
(Everything falls apart/even the people who never frown eventually break down)
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
(Everything has to end/You'll soon find we're out of time left to watch it all unwind)
The sacrifice is never knowing
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away…"
