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.

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.

"Remus?" Sirius said it suddenly, right in the middle of their conversation.

"What about him?" Lobo looked up from the video game system he had been showing Sirius.

"You didn't hear him call me just now?" He wondered if he'd been hearing things. It wouldn't be the first time Sirius had imagined Remus' voice.

"No…." Lobo set down the controller. "Maybe he's calling for you. They say that life mates with strong bonds can communicate telepathically."

"Why would he call me?" Sirius looked down.

"Maybe a change of heart and he wants you back." Lobo shrugged. "I dunno."

A cold chill suddenly raced down Sirius's spine. He shivered and looked at Lobo, who was staring back at him. "You felt that too, didn't you?" Somehow Sirius knew something was off, but he didn't understand. "Something is wr-"

BOOM!

Both men leapt to their feet as the front door swung open and slammed hard against the wall. A split second later Blaze and Kalika rushed in. Both of them looked like they'd been in a car wreck. Remus was thrown over Blaze's shoulder in a fireman's carry. "Vampires, the whole clan."

"Remus." Sirius felt sick. "Is he…?"

"No, but that bastard Azimodeus bit him." Blaze lowered Remus onto the table, knocking everything off it in a swift motion. "He's lost a lot of blood, I don't know how long he'll last at this rate." Sirius went pale. He'd wasted his last chance. What if… He couldn't even stand to think it.

"I’m getting Sophie." Lobo raced from the room.

"Keep pressure on it. Damn him." Blaze was growling. "He was outnumbered. They jumped him." He kept his hand over Remus's neck wound. "Bastard had half of his bloodsucking gang hold him down so he could feed off Remus."

Sirius's mouth went dry, and when he finally regained enough of his senses, he walked over to the table and took one of Remus's hands in his, giving it a reassuring squeeze.

"Paddy." Sirius's head jerked up, and he looked into Remus's eyes.

He gave a weak smile, trying to keep it together. "Moony."

Remus tried to sit up, but Blaze held him down. "Try not to move. You've already lost a lot of blood."

Something flickered in Remus's eyes. He wasn't one to forget a person for months on end. "Sirius… Boy…my flat. I left him alone. Hurt. They did something to him." His voice was slurred and he wasn't making any sense.

"Remmy, don't speak. You need your strength." Sirius squeezed his mate's hand harder.

Remus made a frustrated noise. "Boy… my flat… Paddy… he needs you."

Sophious came rushing in, Lobo flanking her. They came to Remus's side. "Kalika, grab me some towels, alcohol, and an ace bandage. Blaze, keep pressure on the wound." She was in her element, and everyone followed her directions without protest. She placed her hands on each side of Remus's face and tenderly forced his gaze into hers. "Sirius, keep holding his hand. He needs to know you're here for him now. Don't worry, he'll be alright now."

Sophious cupped Remus's chin with one hand and stroked his hair gently. "Lobo, get me a sleeping potion. He'll heal faster if he's unconscious." Lobo quickly followed her instructions, but Remus was still talking.

"No… Siri… the Boy… my flat... hurt. He needs you."

"Shh… don’t talk." Sophious chided him, looking to Sirius. "What does he mean, Sirius? Something is bothering him. He shouldn't keep talking or her might make his injury worse."

"I don't know." But suddenly Sirius's Swiss cheese mind made the connection. "Harry! Harry's at your flat! They hurt him? Who?"

"Are you deaf? What did I just tell you?" Sophious snapped at him. "He shouldn't talk! You can go check it out after Remus is healed up. Right now he needs you. Please."

There was a pause, then Sirius nodded. He'd already abandoned Remus twice for Harry Potter. His godson could wait a few more minutes.

Remus had calmed down since he'd figured out Sirius was staying. Either that or his blood loss had taken its toll and he was too weak to speak. Sophious took Remus's face gently into her hands again, and closed her eyes. A warm green light suddenly emitted from her palms, and Remus gave a contended sigh.

Kalika and Lobo returned, and Kalika went to help Blaze with the puncture wound. The fresh towels she had would be helpful. Lobo handed Sophious a vial of dark red liquid and silent gratitude passed between the two pack members. She tilted Remus's head back gently, then brought the potion to his lips. Remus drank the fluid obediently, mustering his strength to squeeze Sirius's hand. "Go to him. I'll be fine. Just don’t go alone. You have my scent on you, and they're still thirsty."

Sirius nodded, bringing Remus's bruised and cut hand to his mouth and planted a kiss on it. "I'll be back, Moony. I promise." He meant it this time. Nothing would keep him from his mate.

"He's asleep, and the bleeding has stopped. He'll be weak for a few days from blood loss, but other than that he should be fine." Sophious whispered, stroking Remus's hair again.

He kissed Remus on the forehead. "Blaze?"

"I'll come with you." He took a moment to wipe a bit of blood from Kalika's face. "You'll be alright?"

"Go baby-sit Remus's Puppy."

"Hey!"
-----

The door to Remus's flat opened slowly. Sirius had expected Harry to be in bed, but instead he was up, writing a letter. "Harry?"

"Sirius!" He let the parchment roll shut. "Remus said you weren't staying here."

"I'm not." Sirius could see it too. A slight discoloration, an almost healed mark. "Those Muggles hit you!"

Harry touched his face. "How can you people tell? It's been almost a month. I can't even see it anymore."

"You heal slowly, and you're so pale." Sirius stepped closer, and a smile slowly appeared on his lips. "Which is why you have a hickey."

Harry's eyes went wide, and his hand clamped over it. "I can explain!"

"At least one of us is having a good summer." Sirius pushed Remus from his mind for a moment, intent on teasing Harry. "So… what's her name?"

Harry sighed. "If only it were that easy."

"Easy?"

"It's not from a girl." Harry looked Sirius in the eye. "It's from Draco Malfoy."
