Call of the wild
Chapter 13

Fusedtwilight: Yes I am still writing, sorry for the wait but I have been busy with other fanfics and life and stuff. Sadly I had to get a new computer as my old one broke and all the files that had call of the wild fics were lost. So it might be a while for another chap.

I...was....pissed! As soon as I found that egocentric, emo, goth, moody, little prick, grrrrrr. I had a nice little chat with Anita and I was going to tan Drakes hide.

Apparently in bat culture, the prince and princess can chose whomever they like to be members of their little harem. For a Werebat a harem is like what a Pomm de sang is for a vampire. They can have as many as they want and to be a prince’s harem is to be his lover, and to be under his personal protection, you mess with the prince’s harem, you mess with the prince. And since I was an outsider the only way I could get his protection was to be a member of his Harem. When I accepted his offer at the meeting with the Alphas I unknowingly accepted to become the newest member of his Harem. I walked up to his door and started pounding on it.

"Drake!" I shouted "Open up this damn door NOW!"

"Go away." He answered, "I'm busy." He said.

Oh to hell with that, it's time he was told what the deal was. I turned the knob and rushed inside and stopped dead in my tracks. Drake was on his bed in only his black boxers, and he wasn't alone. I recognized Tate, Beth, Jen, and a few others on the bed with him, they were all either half naked or fully nude. I stood there speechless and burning with embarrassment. Everyone had looks from mirth, to annoyance. Drake was annoyance.

"Sorry" I said, I didn't mean to interrupt."

"Sleep time." Drake said, helping me clear my confusion.

"Ah, yes sleep time, I’ll just talk to you later then Drake." I said getting ready to walk out.

"Wait!" someone called from the bat pile. A woman, she was about mid twenty’s with long black hair, she was fully nude, he skin was a creamy white, as soon as I saw how bare she was I turned my eyes to the ground.

"You’re part of the clan now, come join us." She purred circling me like a shark looking at me with a startling pair of electric blue eyes.

"Holly." Drake warned.

"I don't mean the boy any harm Drake, he's family now, he can join us in our gathering." She said.

"I thought bats were nocturnal." I said looking at the ground.

"Normally yes, but due to recent events we’ve had to pull extra shifts, your power drain left Jean-Claude and his very vulnerable." She said tracing my shoulders with her fingertips, "You’re very lucky he is a compassionate man, many masters would never tolerate such a thing." I shifted uncomfortably and she saw this, "Does my being nude bother you?" she asked quietly, like a child asking a question no one wants answered.

"Yes ma'am." I answered honestly.

"Why? You were raised by wolves, nudity should be second nature for you." She asked curiously.

"Yes, but you’re a stranger, and I’m more comfortable with friends than strangers." I admitted, and she started to play with my hair.

"Ahh, how sweet, so gentlemanly, you have lovely hair, magnificent texture." She complimented feeling my hair between her fingers, "Come lay with us young one, you must be exhausted from earlier, come let us show you how fun sleeping with bats can be." She said tugging me toward the bed.

"He has no right to be with us Holly." Jen snapped, the lines around her mouth were tight and angry, and she was glaring at me, some of her energy was leaking.

"Watch your tongue Jen, he is our prince's Harem boy, he is chosen by Drake he can be with us if he wishes, your just scared of him is all." Holly said, her eyes flashing. I was getting the feeling that these two didn’t get along.

"Actually I was kind of hoping to talk to Drake about that, but I see you’re busy so I’ll just leave." I said trying to tug my arm from hers but she had it in a strong grip.

"Nonsense, you’re a Harem boy, it's as much as your bed as Drakes, why you’re practically family now." She said baiting her eyelashes. I so did not like the word ‘Harem boy’ sounds dirty.

"He is not family Holly, he's human." One of the men on the bed said.

"Enough! All of you, if David wishes to he may join us, if not then it is his choice." Drake said firmly.

"He might as well" Holy pouted, "If he's your Harem boy, you need to do the ceremony." she said innocently but with a hint of mischief.

"HOLLY!" He shouted his power was thick in the air, many of the people in the bed were beginning to whimper.

Holly however just smiled at Drake. She was still touching me when she let loose some of her power. Not enough to challenge, but enough to let him know he couldn’t be scare her. Being in contact with her I had a deeper sense of how powerful she was. My power shuddered at the thought of that power but it was still sated from the power drain.

"What ceremony?" I asked.

"When the prince chooses a Harem boy or girl, he does a special ceremony where they share blood and say a few special words." She said.

"What?" Blood? What is it with these people and...oh yeah Bat’s. "Drake had a sip already." I mumbled.

"Oh Drake." She said turning to him, "You naughty boy, you haven't told him have you? Shame on you, you see Dave you have to drink his blood to, otherwise you can't be his Harem boy."

"What does a harem do exactly?"

"Oh they donate blood, they are also the royal’s personal private sweetie." she said with a wink.

"Can I refuse this?"

"Of course you can, however by refusing him you refuse the perks."

"Perks?"

"Yes, the gifts, the sex...the protection, being a royal’s Harem means they got to dote on you. By accepting his invitation he has to grant you a favor."

"Protection?"

"Yes to be the princes Harem is to be above the rules, no one except for the royal family can tell you what to do, you can't even be challenged because to do so would risk the wrath of the prince, but by refusing to be his Harem, you refuse the perks including the protection."

"I'm already under bat protection." I said recalling Drakes words.

"Sadly, since were so xenophobic, the only way to be officially under our protection is to become a Harem what with you being a human and all." Holy said, "Or you can prove your bad ass enough to have our protection."

"That’s enough Holy I mean it!" Drake seethed.

"Oh big brother, I’m only trying to help." Big brother! Holy crap they’re related.

"Then sit down and shut the fuck up!" He ordered.

"No, I want to know." I said, "Since you seem to lack an honest bone in your body Drake, I’ll just turn to Holly here, Holly how may I prove I’m a bad ass?"

"Oh it's simple, simply defeat one of us in a duel." She said walking slowly back to the bed. Is this how the fly feels when he realizes he let the spider lead him to the web.

"But why would I want to challenge one of you, you'd slaughter me?" I asked.

"One of the reasons Drake tried to put you under protection was because there were those who wished you ill on our side" Holly said wrapping her arms around Tate, "Some because they fear you for what you are, others because they...are...jealous." Was it just me or did her eyes flicker over to Jen.

"Jealous of what?"

"Of how you a simple, plain looking human, somehow got the attention of the beautiful and sleek Drake." She said.

"Believe me the attraction is one sided" I said.

"Oh, then why do you keep looking at him when you’re talking to me?" Holly asked with a laugh, and I felt myself blush. Did I mention Drake is only wearing boxers?

Suddenly there was a movement from the bed; I blinked so I missed it. It didn't matter because next thing I knew Jen had me in a headlock. I tried to move but her grip was like iron, "I got you, you little freak, now I’m going to rip your head off and mail it back to your hick clan in P.A, wonder what mommy's reaction will be to seeing your head in a box, hymm?" she asked in a sweetly sick voice.

There was movement all around us, the bats had formed a wide circle around us, some were blocking any of the others from getting any closer, was this a little rebellion?

"JEN!" Drake roared, his power filling the room, I was chocking on it. "RELEASE HIM!" Drake demanded his face normally so pale was red with rage.

"Sorry my prince but I can't let you destroy yourself, not again." She said.

"Explain this treachery all of you!" He demanded looking to those that were preventing the others from interfering.

"This boy has put you under his thrall Drake, two days after you meet him and you deny us your bed, what could drive you to exile us in favor for a human, humans who you so passionately hate, then I realized it's not you it's him. He put you under his spell." She said.

"I am the prince of the Relic clan, I am under no ones spell." He seethed.

"But you could be a king Drake, I’ve known you all my life Drake since we were kids, if you weren’t so rebellious like this stupid experiment with integration with the outside world, the Queen is furious it's only a matter of time before she comes here personally for you Drake, and when she finds out you are possessed by this runt she will destroy you. And I won't see that happen." She said tears were running down her cheeks now. "You think I don't know why you are fond of him? You think we all don't see his resemblance, to him." She spat him like it was a poison. "Your love for that man made you weak, his death made you stupid, reckless, now that love for a dead man has made you vulnerable. If he lives then he'll own you."

"I am a prince Jen, no one controls me, not even my mother, our Queen, for the sake of our friendship I am willing to overlook this offense, but if you do not do as I say, I will not only refuse you my bed but my Harem as well." He said his voice cold as ice.
"You fool, you didn't make that man a Harem and he was the love of your life, this boy knows you for two days and you are going to make him a mere mortal one of us, and your willing to throw me out?! Me your dearest friend, me who would kill anyone even herself just for you!? she said hysterically, "No you are not the Drake I know, the Drake I know would never do such a perverse thing, IT"S YOU!" She screamed at me and I felt her hands tighten around my throat. If I lived I would so totally have some bruises, "It's all you you’re trying to take him from me, from us! FILTHY HUMAN!" She screamed. "Just like him, you’re exactly like him."

I don't want to die, someone help me I thought to myself. "Once again my servant you have found yourself in trouble " William said in my mind.

"She's going to kill me, and if I go you’re coming with me to hell William." I thought.
"So it would seem, if I had realized you’re potent for doom I may have reconsidered marking you." he said dryly, "If you want to live then merely use your gift." He said.

"I can't it's to wild, if I unleash it we could have a repeat of earlier, and she may sense me lowering my shields." I thought.

"David, my powers aren’t the only ones who have been upgraded buy the second mark."

"What?"

"You absorbed a hell of a lot of power, even I could hardly contain it, I had to spread it to my kiss and beasts, and they all have gained new powers, or had there old ones upgraded, and obviously you to have received an upgrade, after the feast you gave it you may find your power more corporative to you."

"But what if I lose control?"

"Maybe if you cleaned out your chakra you’d have better control."

"Huh?"

He sighed "Your power is psychic in nature, so the purity of your Chakra effects the control you have, I’d help you but we have bugger bats to fry, I’m curious to see how stronger you are so I won't interfere to much, simply tap into your power and do what you were born to do. I’ll lend a metaphysical hand so if you become more perceptive don’t worry it’s only temporary." He said and I felt him fade from my mind.

"Thanks for the help dick!" I thought.

I stood there, seconds had passed during mine and Williams talk. Could I do it? Could I call my power before she twitched her muscle and ripped my head off? It was a chance but I seemed dead anyway. I called my power, and it came to me. No fuss, no problem, for the longest of times it simply just did what I said, no complications. I summoned the power that flowed in me and focused it on Jen, and I gave a simple command "Let me go. I said firmly and I used power for the command, and shoved it into her.

She let me go. She didn't hesitate she just dropped me. I ran to Drake and stood by his side. Jen looked shocked and angry, "You bastard, how did you do that?!" She demanded.

Drake flew forward in a flash of speed; Jen went flying into the wall and slammed into it with a loud crack. Drake stood over her furious, "How dare you Jen." He whispered his voice full of chilling venom, "You dare embarrass me in front of our clan like this? You defy me? You try to hurt someone I placed in protection? You know what this means." He said and he shifted. There was no burst of fluid, but fluid was the best in describing the transformation. He transformed, like water shifting from a faucet, he got a little taller as shifters do when they shift, his arms became longer and his nails became tiny little daggers, his arms had a membrane that stretched from armpit to wrist, making the wings, his ears were pointy and his nose was pressed closer to his face, his face was a mixture of a bat and a mans and he was covered in a black fur. "You know the consequences for such actions Jen." He whispered, his voice was more high pitched.

"This is getting good." Holly said. I looked and saw she was still on the bed, unaffected by the chaos. She was watching all this taking it all in. She was observing learning new information for later use.

"Please, Drake." Jen whispered, "I was only trying to protect you."

Some how I knew it was more complicated then that. She loved him, flat out loved him, she was so driven by her love it was consuming her. Drake was going to kill her, he loved her, to do this would destroy a piece of him, a small piece of his soul would die with her. He was on a path of self-destruction; something had happened to him, a great loss that he could not bear. A loss that was eating away at him. If he did this then it would only add fuel to his fire, I didn't know how I knew all these things, but I knew two:

1. Jen didn't hate me, she feared me, for my power, and the strange affection her childhood crush had for me

2. Drake loved her, but not how she wished, he didn't want to hurt her, but if he showed sympathy to her then the others would see it as weakness. The poor guy, all his life was trapped by blood, and tradition, he didn't want to be a prince, or a Werebat. But he was born one. Fate had given him a cruel hand. He had to be cruel, he had to be ruthless, in the world of the bats innocence will only get you killed, it was why he was doing this experiment with us topsiders.

He sees how dark, and terrible his people are, he hopes that a little exposure to the light will remind them that mercy, kindness, and compassion can be more effective, then manipulation, and betrayal. But if he killed Jen he would be lost to the darkness. I did the only thing I knew. I ran forward and wrapped my mouth around his shoulder and bit down. I felt the blood flow down my mouth and I drank it. My power flared to life, it tasted the blood, a new feast to be had. I felt Drakes power in this blood, and I drank the red liquid like water. But Drake was still advancing on Jen, he was at a breaking point, all these years of being raised in a kill or be killed environment had taken it’s toll and he was suffering P.T.S.D. I used my power to shove energy into his wound hoping to het his attention. Even while I was drinking his blood I pushed energy into him ordering him to stop, he finally noticed me.

With a swipe of his arm I went flying and landed on the floor. Drake was above me, his mouth poised on my neck, "You have been accepted a place in my Harem do you accept?" He asked. He knew what I was doing, he saw me as a way to save Jen and punish her, and to bind myself closer. If there was one thing he wanted it was power, power to become king and change his world for the better. It was one of the reasons he was attracted to me, he saw me a means to power. Power to protect his friend’s and follower’s.

Somehow I knew that by agreeing to this, a bond would be forged greater then a mere sex toy. There was something in the air, a magic if you will waiting for the right words. By accepting Drake and I would be bound but I didn’t care. My power had tasted blood and it was in control. "Yes, I accept." I said and he plunged his fangs into my neck.

It hurt like hell. Bats weren’t vampires, they couldn't roll your mind to feel pleasure when they fed on you. I grabbed a fistful of his hair and tried not to scream in pain but all I did was whimper I don't care if I sounded weak or not, I had a pair of fangs in my neck and I could whimper if I damn well wanted to. I felt the power, the power I had shoved into Drake. Our power had mingled in each others blood, and we had drunken from each other. I had a flash of memory that wasn’t mine. A group of children playing together, A woman with pitch black eyes colder then ice, An arena where I was fighting another Werebat to the death, a familiar pair of brown eyes staring at me mischievously, what was this?

There was a rush of power and Drake was above me in mortal form. His boxers had ripped and he was now bare to the world. He stared at me with his eyes that were still bat like. "Something has happened." He whispered.

"I know, I feel it to." I said groggily.

"You lost a lot of blood." He said touching the side of my neck and I felt a sting of pain, "As soon as I deal with Jen we will sleep, you need energy to heal." He said and started to get up.

"No." I said quickly grabbing his arm, "Please spare her."

"Why?" He asked coldly.

"Because, I don't want anymore people dying because of me, spare her for me?" I begged.

"Very well." He picked me up in his hands and carried me to the bed he turned around to face the others, "This is David, fresh blood to our clan, he has defeated Jen, he has already brought us great strength you can all feel it." it was true, even now with him holding back the room was so full of power, "Jen as a gift to David I have agreed to spare your life, but know that if ever you disobey be again and his mercy won't save you, and remember it was a humans will that saved you." He said as Jen stared at us with angry tears. "Do you all accept him as I do?" He asked. One by one they all dropped to there knees, Jen slowly but surely went to her knees and bowed.

"I beg for your forgiveness my prince, may I come forward and repent?"

"You may." Drake said his voice still cold.

She crawled forward and rubbed his leg with her cheek, "I apologize to my new brother, I was blinded by jealousy and fear, please forgive me, I see how now you bring us strength, I swear to protect you, please forgive me?" She begged.

I knew she was lying. She wasn’t sorry, except for not tearing off my head sooner. But she wasn’t fully ungrateful, she knew I had saved her life and even though she hated to admit it, she owed me big time. She knew she was walking a thin line right now and she wasn’t dumb enough to overstep it. I think Drake knew it to because I could still fell his tension.

I tried to figure a way to diffuse the situation, a simple your forgiven didn't seem to cut it. I reached to my neck wound and dabbed some blood on my fingers and offered it to Jen, much to her surprise. She gently licked the blood from my fingers and Drake looked pleased and relived. "I forgive you Jen." I said.

I patiently waited for her to finish licking my fingers. Her pale face was flushed from the pleasure she was receiving from my blood. There was an ability that some shifters possessed to share there power through there blood, it was a rare ability but it was a testament to a shifters power. I was able to share my power through my blood, and with Drakes power running through me it probably tasted even better. I could tell because what started as a gentle lick had become an obscene sucking on my fingers. I pulled my hand back and she tried to follow but Drake held her back.

"Come." Drake said speaking to everyone, "Let us retire, tomorrow we will celebrate." He said and everyone moved to the bed Drake and I moved to the center, and everyone curled around us. There were hands gently caressing me and my wound, licking the blood from there finger tips. I should have been freaked out but blood loss and power rush was making me light headed.

Drake and some of the others helped me to remove my cloths leaving my boxers on. I had meant to yell at Drake and the irony of the situation was not lost. Instead of fighting I was in a bed with him and a bunch of naked people. How do I get myself into these messes?
Drake held me to his chest while the others sniffed and licked me. "It’s part of the ceremony, they will take in your scent nothing more." He explained cradling me gently.

"I’m not going to have to have sex with anyone will I?" I asked.

"Only if you want." A beautiful red head said rubbing her cheek against my chest. She looked at Drake and smiled "I like him, he’s so cuddly." She giggled.

When she giggled I blushed, her naked breast were pressed against my side.

"So glad you approve Victoria ." Drake said stroking her head. " Victoria is one of my Harem." He explained.

"Me and Michelle and Jen. And now you." She said tapping my nose with her finger.

"Am I going to have to watch my back with you?" I asked.

"No, not at all. I have no problem sharing Drake. There’s more then enough of him to go around." She said leaning forward to kiss Drake.

I felt a streak of jealousy shoot through me.

"Well since that’s one crisis over I will leave you alone now." William said.

"It was you? You used your power through me."

"Yes."

"Why?"

"An experiment. I wanted to see if the marks would let us share my power with you. It pleases me you have made this…alliance with the bat prince Dave keep up the good work."

"You cant keep this secret from her Drake." Holly was saying.

While I was talking to William, Holly and Drake where having a heated discussion. Holly had shooed Victoria away so she could lean against me and Drake. She had her hand in my hair playing with it.

"I don’t have to tell her anything Holly." Drake said coldly.

"She’s your mother and your Queen. She is already mighty pissed about you opening up to the topsiders. What do you think she’ll do when she hears of this?"

"I have broken no rules." Drake said resting his chin on the top of my head.

"That won’t stop her you know that."

"Are you going to tell her?" Drake asked.

She was quiet for a while "No, I wont." She said finally "But if she asks me I will tell her, I’m not going to be punished for you Drake." She said.

"Some sister you are." He sneered.

"I love you little brother, I really do." She said. She leaned forward and took a long and tantalizing lick on my neck wound. I felt Drake wrap his arms around my waist "But if you get in my way for the throne I won’t hesitate to strike you down." She said.

"Drake?" I said trying to get up.

He kept his hold on me "It’s okay just go to sleep." He whispered in my ear.

I did.
