Don't Let Go

OOC he is squeezed underneath sebastian's bed


Dahmer was let into the pack. Hadley knew that Jazper wouldn't let anything bad happen. He trusted his alpha. He trusted his pack. Still, seeing the black envelop around the wolf that was welcomed in, Hadley shivered with fear. He'd retreated, placing Amatha somewhere that he'd thought she'd be safe before going and finding what he believed was the safest place in the entire pack. As quickly as he could he traveled through the fort until he reached the door.


Opening it up he stepped through, spotted the bed, and proceeded to squeeze his entire frame underneath it. It wasn't as easy to fit underneath the bed as it had once been. For one thing, he was actually eating now, and not starving. For another, he was working hard building things, and it had given him some new muscles. The familiar space was comforting though, and the large hybrid closed his eyes, relieved to be where nothing could reach him.

Sebastian had been poring over a new book he had recently acquired when Hadley had decided to enter his room. He hadn't knocked- that was certainly odd. He didn't even seem to notice the Italian. Sebastian's saffron eyes flicked over to the lumbering hybrid as he came closer, not moving from his relaxed position on the bed. It was only when Hadley had dropped to the ground and squeezed himself under the bed that Sebastian sighed softly.

Lord, what had happened to Hadley now?

Sebastian finished the page he was on, carefully marking it and setting it on his bedside table. He rolled over onto his stomach and poked his head underneath the bed, looking at Hadley upside-down.

"Are you quite all right, Hadley?" he asked mildly, his alert gaze searching for Hadley's steady eyes.

It was peaceful there, with Sebastian above him and the rest of the world blocked out. It was a silly reflex, to be certain. After all, he'd been told repeatedly that no harm would come to him. Hadley had been doing well, not acting frightened and generally starting to interact with others as a normal canine would. Yet the instant he felt threatened, incapable of defending those he cared for, he returned to the first place he felt safe, and stayed there.


The mild voice turned the scarred male's head, soulful brown eyes opening and looking into the burning orange ones. The alert steady gaze immediately made him feel guilty. He shouldn't have just barged in, searching for a safe haven. Sent back to old habits his gaze wavered, moving to look past where Sebastian was. Sorry. He wanted to say he was fine, but that would mean he'd have to come out, something he really didn't want to do.

Oh, dear. Hadley was reverting back to his old habits. Damn it. Not looking directly at him, seeking refuge under his bed... And not answering his questions. Sheesh. Hadley was persistent, he'd give him that.

Sebastian rolled off of his bed and onto the ground, catching his fall with his hands and sliding underneath the bed next to Hadley, snuggling up to the much larger male's side. He made sure his mouth was close to Hadley's ear as he laid on his back underneath the bed beside Hadley.

"That did not answer my question, Hadley. What troubles you?" he enquired, shifting onto his side to observe the muscle-bound hybrid more closely.

Hadley jumped slightly as Sebastian rolled off the bed, anxious. The brown eyes watched as the red wolf acrobatically shifted around, catching himself and sliding neatly under the bed next to him. The lithe body pressed next to him, Hadley's tail wagging absently behind him with the contact. There wasn't much room, with Hadley already taking up so much space. It felt even more crowded and small with Sebastian joining him there.


His ear twitched, feeling Sebastian's warm breath against him. The words were commanding, pushing for an answer. Guiltily he stared at the bottom, knowing what the answer was. He didn't want to admit that he was so weak and foolish to be frightened by a member of his own pack. Even a new member. He could feel Sebastian's eyes studying him, and sighing finally spoke. Someone new joined the pack. A killer.

A killer, eh? Sebastian wondered exactly how Hadley knew that. Did he know the person? Whoever it was likely hadn't just decided to tell him, unless they were somehow offering their services. A mercenary or an assassin? Unclear which. Perhaps Sebastian could do a little detective work of his own to ensure that this killer was harmless. Harmless to Casa di Cavalieri, at any rate.

"I see," he said quietly. Sebastian placed a black-furred hand on Hadley's jaw and gently turned his head until he faced the Italian. He looked directly into Hadley's eyes as he spoke. "I suppose Jazper knows of this. I believe in Jazper's judgement, Hadley. In any case, you need not worry." Sebastian leaned in and gently kissed the tip of Hadley's nose. "You need not fear this killer. He would not dare to strike against a pack with our power, and I will see this killer for myself and judge. You can trust me, Hadley."

Sebastian's voice rang with clarity in Hadley's ears. His form stilled, waiting to see what Sebastian's judgement would be on the scarred hybrid's actions. Running and hiding under the bed wasn't exactly an action that he thought Sebastian would appreciate. Especially when it lead to being under his bed. The touch of a paw brought a shudder through Hadley's body, expecting a strike. There was none of course, there never was. Just old memories wrecking havoc with his mind.


His head turned, the frightened gaze of the former slave meeting that of the one who had brought him from that life. It was true, Jazper did know. Hadley knew that he should put more trust in the alpha. After all, Jazper had always taken care with the male, making sure that he didn't end up going into shock from the things that happened in the pack. Surely this would turn out alright as well. The kiss on his nose brought a deep blush across his features, ears laying back. His tongue flicked out, gently licking at Sebastian. I do. A quiet admission, but the first time he'd said that out loud.

Hadley trusted him. Great. So now Sebastian would be free to conduct his investigations into this matter that so troubled Hadley. It wasn't that Sebastian distrusted Jazzy's judgement- he simply didn't trust anyone's judgement when death was involved. Jazper was not omnipotent- he could be deceived.

Oh well. He could interrogate this new member at his leisure. In the meantime, he might sleep a little more lightly at night.

"Excellent." Sebastian smiled and leaned in to nuzzle Hadley's collarbone for a moment, moving the hand from his cheek down to his broad, powerful chest. He could hardly help himself- Hadley appeared to have grown even more muscular since he and Sebastian had last had their chat.

"Will you be staying here?"

Hadley's tail began to wag again, thumping as it smacked against the top of the bed. He wasn't quite smiling as Sebastian spoke. It was just good to have him there. He loved Sebastian, loved that he had taken him from Amy and stopped the pain. It wasn't the same kind of love he held for Isa by any means, rather the love of a follower to their leader, undying in it's nature. He rubbed against Sebastian, content with the closeness and forgetting that he was still under the bed. As far as he was concerned it was a private den for two.


Sebastian's hand slid down from his cheek, now pressed against his chest. The old sensitivity to his scars were back, tingling slightly at the touch. It was just something he pressed back, instead moving carefully so that he didn't completely crush Sebastian under his weight, practically on top of the smaller male. If you let me. He didn't really want to leave. He liked it right where he was. Safe.

"Hmm..." Sebastian appeared to consider the matter, cuddling closer to Hadley as he did so. His arms wrapped around Hadley's neck, tugging him closer to snuggle up to much larger male. It was very warm under the bed with Hadley. He practically radiated heat all by himself, which was very much welcomed by the fiery Italian. He missed the warmth of Sabini.

"Stay as long as you wish, Hadley." Sebastian nuzzled his cheek into Hadley's massive chest, sighing against his thick fur softly. Hadley was an excellent pillow and blanket all rolled into one, if you asked him. Better than any bed, even with the risk of him accidentally squashing the artisan.

He waited patiently for Sebastian's decision. Hadley had grown more independent in his actions, but this was Sebastian's room. He'd best listen to him in here. Except when Sebastian wanted him to take charge. He was still technically obeying at that point, it just was harder to tell. Gently Hadley twisted his body, Sebastian ending up tucked into his frame. It was warm there, Sebastian's arms around his neck and snuggled close. If he was given the choice Hadley would stay there for quite some time, waiting for the threat to disappear.


His tail thumped against the roof of the bed, happy that he'd been granted the chance to stay. Thanks. He nuzzled back into Sebastian, licking at the wolf's ears. That was how he'd ended up with Sebastian the first time, if he was recalling through the drunken haze correctly. He'd grown too curious about the satin looking fur. Hadley was no longer sickened by the actions, having accepted that he liked having sex with Sebastian. He didn't let it go further than that though.

"Mm-hmm." Sebastian snuggled up against Hadley's soft fuzz and barrel chest, chuckling softly as Hadley's warm, wet tongue swiped across his dark, silky ears. The Italian felt safe in his embrace, even if it was a bit too warm underneath the bed with both of the heat from their bodies. Sebastian let out a quiet sigh as he settled down between the hybrid's massive chest and beefy arms, tugging one of Hadley's arms over his own chest like a blanket as he settled down. Maybe a nap would not go amiss, unless Hadley wanted to go.
