Welll, sorry for the wait!





Chapter 4:


James’s POV


How to begin? Is there even a good way to tell this tale? How will they react? Will they leave me too?

So many questions were running in his brain. It was giving him a headache and didn’t help his anxiety at all. In fact, he could feel himself getting more and more agitated. It made his control extremely shaky; a dangerous thing considering his other self had wanted to reclaim these two men as pack as soon as he saw them. If his power got out of hand, they’d be influenced pretty badly. He didn’t want to turn their brains into mush!

Although what their uncensored reactions would be, he had no idea. It might be interesting… No! Bad James, no plotting against your friends!

“Are you okay, James?” Kirk’s voice interrupted.

What…?

Oh, his apprehension must have been apparent. The guitarist was looking at him with such concern! Truly, this young one was a jewel. With his big brown doe-like eyes, so innocent and caring.

How was he supposed to resist him when he was pleading like that? Though there were worse things than cuddling with Kirk… Especially since it had the added benefit that Lars was getting more and more jealous…

Well, there was no point in delaying any further.

“Okay… I’ll explain everything. I just want you to know that the tale I’m about to say is the absolute truth, however strange it might seem… I swear it’s true on Cliff’s memory!” He exclaimed after a pause.



Lars’s POV


On Cliff’s memory? Shit! How strange is this gonna be?

“Do I even want to know? You’re looking a tad too desperate for my tastes…” he said with a slightly skeptical tone.

What was it with this look? Het was staring straight in his eyes with such intensity! Finally, he answered.

“What I have to say is the truth. Whether you want it hear or not is your choice.”

Did he just… let me choose?

What the fuck?

“Okay, now that’s creepy.”

The guy had the nerve to raise his eyebrow in question!

“James Hetfield doesn’t just allow things. He orders! Who the fuck are you? Did you give up alcohol to take on drugs, or what?!”

And, there it was, the little secretive and smug smirk. Insufferable man!

“Do you want to hear my story or not?”

“Yes, yes. Of course I do.” He grumbled. As if he would let him out of his sight again!



James’s POV


He tightened his hold onto Kirk and finally began his… confession.

“All right.
Several lifetimes ago, there was a huge and peculiar family. This… pack was made of people from young to old and from powerful to weak. It was organized in a very strict hierarchy to make sure life went smoothly.

I was a member of this pack. I was the son of the… head of the pack, who we called the “alpha”.

However, I had always been different from the others, especially from the other members of my family. Already at my birth, I was different. The labor was really difficult for my mother. She was quite weak from the difficult pregnancy, and the labor went badly enough that she would never be able to bear children again. Moreover, my father, my family were extremely disappointed with the results.
Anyway, as I was getting older…”

“Wait! What do you mean with disappointed?” interrupted Lars.

James sighed. He would have to explain everything, wouldn’t he? Even the ugliest and most painful details.

“I mean… that I… was a disappointment. Since my birth I was considered the runt of the pack. I was too weak, too impulsive, not intelligent enough, not strong enough, etc… I was a shame for my father especially,” James explained dryly before pursuing, all along making sure to not make eye-contact with his boys.



Kirk’s POV

How could it be? He knew that James, like him, had a difficult relationship with his father, but never did he imagine it went this far. How could anyone think James was a disappointment? How could James live as if it didn’t bother him? He always appeared so strong, so sure of his decisions, even the bad ones. To think James might have been unsure of himself at one point was almost laughable!
He definitely admired him even more, if that was possible.



James POV


“As I was saying, my family, along with the rest of the pack, regarded me as the weakest member. What they discovered too late was that, despite their belief, I was changing deeply, and for the better. At least, that’s what I thought. You know, as I became a teenager and a young man, I was finally becoming worthy of my heritage, finally developing; and extraordinarily so.
But I didn’t notice that. I was too isolated. I didn’t partake in the usual mock fights and hunts, so I had no idea how much I changed, or what place I occupied in the pack. I didn’t know what the standard performances for them were. I wasn’t even living with them anymore. I was still in the territory and at shouting distance, but not WITH them.
It all changed one day, the day I learned what being an Omega meant. You see, in the pack…”

“Hum… Sorry to interrupt, but why are you saying pack? Are you some kind of werewolf, or what?” Kirk asked nervously.

Straight to the heart of the matter!

How could he say these words, aloud?

“I… I mean… I don’t….” He stammered for a while, his fear rising, before being abruptly pulled out of his panicking thoughts when Lars got close to him, and placed his hands on James’s arms. Looking up by reflex, he was captured by a pair of green eyes; worried, suspicious, but loving green eyes.

“James. Take a deep breath. I can feel that this is going to be… difficult and probably life-altering, but I… I won’t abandon you, okay? I need someone to drive me crazy,” Lars finished trying to lighten up the atmosphere while reassuring his best friend.

Their gazed stayed locked for a while, Lars enjoying the closeness, James, the reassurance he desperately needed.


Lars’s POV

What he told James was profoundly true. Nothing would be able to stop him from being James’s best friend. This man had become such an intricate part of himself that the mere thought of losing him – not even mentioning leaving him – was incredibly painful.

The sight of him so shaken – and dare he say it, frightened – cemented his conviction.

Whatever James had to announce wouldn’t be enough to push him away. Of course, knowing his temper, he couldn’t swear he’d keep his cool, but in the end, he would stay.



James’s POV

Finally, he took hold of Lars’s hand, made sure to keep Kirk close to him, and after a fortifying breath, he set his fate.

“I’m a were-lion.”




TA DAM!!! :biggrin
