Chapter 22

Yami looked down at Atemu who was giving off a sort of
growling purring sound. Yami smiled seeing how he was the one causing it, as he
was giving Atemu a nice rub behind his ear causing him to lean his head into
it. Yugi giggled softly, seeing as he never would have thought he’d see Atemu
do that. Yami sure but never Atemu. Yami caught Yugi’s
attention and mouthed to him to ‘Watch this’ before looking back down to Atemu
and he stopped scratching behind his ear and left his hand there causing Atemu
to whine softly. Yami and Yugi laughed as Yami took up scratching behind
Atemu’s ear again.

“He definitely likes that and doesn’t want you to stop.”

“I know. Imagine doing it for a while till your hand gets
tired and you stop and get whined and growled at.”

Yugi laughed again and looked at Atemu who was happily laying across Yami. Yami gently kissed the top of Atemu’s
head as he slowed his scratching to a stop. Atemu opened his eyes and looked at
him.

“You stopped.”

“Yes. I’m just spoiling you otherwise.”

“I don’t mind.”

Yami chuckled. “I know that, besides my hand is getting sore
and tired.”

Atemu lifted his head from its spot on Yami’s lap and licked
gently at Yami’s hand. Yami just chuckles and ruffled the top of his head
causing Atemu to growl at him playfully.

“Atemu likes having his ears scratched the most and I love belly
scratches. What about you Yugi?”

“I don’t know.” He replied softly.

Yami and Atemu looked at him sadly. Yugi wasn’t given any affections where he had been but now he would be given that
same affection the pack gave each other.

“Um... I’m going to go to bed. I’m still tired.”

“That’s alright Yugi. I should probably put Atemu to bed as
well.” Yami said and received a warning growl from Atemu. “If you need us you
know where to find us.”

“Thanks. Goodnight.”

“Goodnight Yugi.”

“Goodnight Yugi. If
you have nightmares come here. We don’t mind.” Atemu said

Yugi gave a small smile and left. Yami looked to Atemu.

“Do you think he will?”

“No, we’ll just have
to be alert in our sleep.” Atemu replied.

Yugi hurried into his den where he then relaxed. Akefia,
Bakura and Marik were still out in the main chamber but none of them looked up
as he went from one den to the other, but he knew they heard him.  Yugi slipped his clothes off till he was in
boxers and climbed into bed and under the covers.

Yugi woke the next morning to someone shaking him. Yugi
groaned and swatted at the hand and pulled the sheets further up and mumbled
about ‘five more minutes mummy’.

The said person waking him laughed softly. “Yugi I don’t
know but I’m sure I’m not your mother.”

Yugi’s eyes shot open and he sat up to see Ryou sitting next
to him on the bed. Yugi blushed softly in embarrassment.

“It’s alright Yugi I still do the same thing. Yami and Atemu
wanted me to wake you, they have gone hunting for
breakfast. Come, I need another set of eyes to watch the pups. Don’t worry
about Akefia, Bakura and Marik they won’t say anything since they know they are
in the dog house.”

Yugi smiled. “Shouldn’t it be the wolf house?”

Ryou blinked before laughing. “And he has a sense of humour
too. It’s the first time you’ve cracked a joke since you’ve been here.”

“I haven’t wanted to insult anyone so I tried to stay on
everyone’s good side. But not now.”

“Yugi...” Ryou sighed softly. “Akefia, Bakura and Marik
meant to harm by what they said. They are naturally suspicious of everyone and
since you haven’t been here long they attacked you. They are as protective of
their pack as much as Atemu and Yami are. It will get better.”

“I hope so. I don’t like causing problems.”

“They’ll apologise and mean it when they are ready. They are
afraid of Atemu but terrified of Malik and me as we are their mates.”

Yugi smiled and got out of bed and got dressed as Ryou continued
talking to him about anything. Yugi walked out into the cavern with Ryou when
he finished getting dressed and saw Bakura, Akefia and Marik staying away from
the fire while Malik was running around trying to look after the pups.

“Why aren’t Bakura and Akefia helping you with the pups?”

“They know not to come near me till they have apologised to
you.”

“Ryou I don’t want to be a problem. Please don’t do that.
It’s their children. I’m causing more problems than needed.”

“Yugi it’s alright. Everything will be fine. Don’t worry so
much.”

Yugi sighed softly as he sat down with Ryou at the fire.
Yugi laughed with Ryou as the pups ran over and started jumping over Ryou
seeing as they saw him come back. Malik sighed softly and sat beside Yugi and
leaned on him. Yugi smiled and patted Malik’s arm.

“You ok?”

“Yeah just tired from chasing after the
pups.”

Ryou laughed softly. “Guess what you’ll be doing once you
give birth.”

Malik sighed softly. “I know.”

“I’ll help you Malik.” Yugi said.

“Thanks Yugi. Marik will be helping me a lot.”

“Hey guys should Atemu really be hunting? I mean he was
still recovering last night from his injuries.”

“Oh he was all good this morning. He’s fine.”

“Oh ok.”

“Hey guys we have breakfast.” A voice came from the entrance
to the cavern.

Everyone turned to see Atemu and Yami dragging a dear into
cavern and over to where they were.
