"Yes, yes, yes," he cried out as Silvio continued to pound into him. Every thrust punched a breathless 'ah' from him and all Su-jin could do was cling. When he finally felt that cock spasm inside him, Su-jin moaned as if it was him orgasming again. Everything Silvio did was so maddening and so erotic and so... just wonderful.

He panted for breath on stop of Silvio when they tumbled back, a smile forming on his lips. He didn't wiggle or squirm or even try to unwind his arms from around Silvio. He wasn't ready to feel the absence of the wolf's dick inside him. Oh, but he loved this. Every moment, every second. The feel of Silvio against him, every flex of muscle, every hard-earned breath.

"You're everything I ever dreamed of," he murmured.

"I like being the man of your dreams."

Stretching out, he put an arm behind his head and smiled. The rest of the night was so much more the same. Periods of rest and then more love making. It was amazing and Silvio knew he'd remember this first night for the rest of his life. A precious memory for him.

The airport and plane? Not so great a memory. But he was able to make it to the home that Su-jin had bought for him. His family had their own place where they could watch the sun rise each day and the woods were easy for him to adjust to.

The full moon? Well there was no getting used to that. But at least he had a basement here too. Snarling as he locked the chains onto his naked form, he panted hard while he waited for the moon to rise before falling into his wolf form, feral and already clawing and snarling in pain as he tried to get free but couldn't.

Their first night together was one Su-jin would never forget. Silvio gave him everything he wanted and so much more. He ached the next day, but that only served as a sweet reminder of that night before.

The travelling wasn't as sweet. He kept hold of Silvio's hand the whole time, babbling away to give his precious wolf something to focus on so the din of the sound around them wasn't quite as maddening. And once they landed in the US, he drove Silvio out to a modest house in the woods. Su-jin helped Silvio unpack and arrange his things to his liking. He wanted nothing more than for Silvio to be comfortable in his new home so he had somewhere to call a refuge while he was adjusting to his new surroundings.

That also meant coming to him during the full moon. Su-jin's seen all too often over the years how Silvio coped with the full moon and he thought it was high time to find another way. One that wouldn't leave his lover hurting and so very vulnerable after. He's sure of own strength and even if he's not a fighter, he's certain he can survive whatever a single feral wolf could dish out. So, armed with that confidence, he boldly made his way to the basement.

Someone. Someone here.

Some part of him told him the scent was familiar but the rest of him couldn't understand. He was in pain and scared. All he knew was that there was someone here and they could be a danger. So the wolf spun around to face the stairs, growling and limping backward toward the wall.

He was the true definition of a corned animal in that moment. The pain of something he couldn't understand constantly there.

Su-jin's heart lurched when he saw his wolf in chains. But he recognized that fear. He, too, was once a scared and feral thing. Though it wasn't in his nature to be stern, he could be when needed. And now it was needed.

He stayed a safe distance away, coming closer one small step at a time. "It's okay, Silvio. It's me. Su-jin, your mate."

Familiar.

Not pack.

Definitely pack?

His senses were confused and his ears fell back against his head. His hackles were raised and on instinct he lunged. But he didn't make it far thanks to the length of the chains. A pained scream came from the wolf as the silver bit into him more. Hitting the ground hard, he whined pathetically as he struggled to get back up again.

It was clear this was how the chains ended up burning the rest of his body. He struggled too much.

But this was also a good chance for Su-jin to get in close.

Su-jin winced at that shriek. "It's okay. You're alright. I won't hurt you." He wasn't certain Silvio understood the words, so he hoped his soft tone would indicate he wasn't a threat. While the wolf was on the ground, Su-jin moved in closer, holding out his hand.

"I know you remember my scent."

Silvio shrank away a little from the hand, terrified in his feral state. But then...then the closer the scent got the easier it was to recognize. Whimpering softly, the wolf lifted his head to sniff the air.

Familiar. Comforting.

Mate.

That was the scent of his mate.

"That's right," he murmured, a ghost of a smile curling his lips. "You know me. It's your mate, Su-jin." He drew closer, dropping down onto a knee so he was closer to Silvio's level. He left his hand extended even as he shuffled forward so Silvio could keep sniffing. He hoped his scent was reassuring.

"I'm going to stay here with you, alright? So we don't need these chains."

Mate. Definitely mate.

Slowly, he limped closer before licking the hand and finally slumping to the ground. He was in a lot of pain but suddenly felt safe. Balanced. Trembling a little from the pain, Silvio whined quietly, ears twitching a lot to listen to his mate now that his instincts had settled on who this person was.

Su-jin watched Silvio, all the pain he witnessed making his heart ache. He remembered all too clearly the wounds these chains have left on his lover for the last ninety years. He hoped that now they wouldn't be necessary. Once Silvio collapsed on the ground, Su-jin moved to unfasten the chains around him. He moved with urgency but still made sure to telegraph his moves so as not to startle Silvio.

The things hurting him were gone. Right away, he went to lick at one of the burns by his paws, trying to soothe the injury. It wasn't healing right away but it also wasn't blackened the way that Su-jin usually saw due to the chains not having been on that long this time.

But he at least stayed put and didn't try to attack. As he'd mentioned to Su-jin in the past, having someone recognized as pack helped a lot.

He didn't dare try to take Silvio upstairs. Not until he could be sure it would be safe for them both. Instead, once the chains were gone, he sat down beside the wolf, making sure his body was touching Silvio's. And if Silvio responded well to that? He'd lay on the floor beside him.

The warm body got him to stop licking his leg. Lifting his head, he sniffed to assess how his mate was sitting and then shifted so he could plop his head down onto his lap. Though he was hurting, he was more interested in the comfort than tending to his injuries.

Letting out a long sigh, he closed his eyes, finally able to find some peace like this.

"That's right," Su-jin cooed. "Just relax. I'm right here." He lifted a hand to stroke the fur on Silvio's head and then one of his ears. He expected it to feel more coarse than it did, but he couldn't stop brushing his fingers over it. It was a sort of reminder for Silvio that Su-jin was there, would be there as long as he needed him.

Softly, he licked at his leg before letting out a long breath. He was exhausted, and now that he wasn't constantly being burned and in recovery mode, he could actually rest. So he allowed himself to sleep with his mate all the way until morning when he'd be in his human form again.

Whatever position that Su-jin had decided to be in to be with him, Silvio would still be pressed to him regardless, still with red marks from the chains but it was clear that he'd heal much faster this time.

Once Silvio's breathing indicated that he was sleeping, Su-jin shifted to lay on the floor beside him. He snuggled up to the wolf's side and draped one arm over him to keep that steady, supportive weight against Silvio's body. His fingers moved through Silvio's fur until he, too, dozed off beside his mate.

When morning came, Su-jin groaned softly, his shoulder aching slightly from sleeping on the floor. It's not even the worst place he's slept, but he's become a bit spoiled in these modern times. Blinking the sleep from his dark eyes, Su-jin pushed himself upright and looked over Silvio to examine the damage from the silver chains. It looked much better than he's seen over the years. Angry red, but not those horrible black burns.

Reaching down, he combed his fingers gently through Silvio's hair. "Are you awake," he murmured softly.

It was Su-jin moving that made him stir. His body hurt but it wasn't...in agony. The sensation was confusing. As was the scent of Su-jin. Disoriented, Silvio tried to piece things together but was quickly distracted by that beautiful voice that he loved so much.

Groaning softly, his eyes opened to show how red they were. Something that happened every fully moon but that Silvio was unaware of. He only knew how badly they were hurting right now.

"...Su-jin? What? What's going on?" He was having a little trouble gathering his thoughts together.

Oh, he'd need to get a cool cloth for Silvio to put over his eyes. But the burns from his chains didn't look nearly as bad as when Su-jin usually saw them. He continued stroking his fingers through Silvio's hair and, though his mate couldn't see it, he smiled down at him.

"Just rest a while. I'm here to look after you. Are you hungry?"

The hand in his hair felt so nice that he gave up on trying to understand what was happening, settling for relaxing and letting Su-jin being there soothe him. Closing his aching eyes, he sighed softly. His body didn't hurt as bad as before and it took him a second to realize he wasn't in the chains. When...?

But he was being asked something. "...yeah. I am."

“Will you be alright if I go upstairs to get you breakfast?” And a cloth for his eyes. And some ointment for the burns the chains did leave. “Maybe a blanket, too? Then we can rest a while. I can read to you if you like.”

"Yeah." All of that sounded amazing. So much better than being trapped all day in pain from the chains, waiting for night to fall. Disoriented and alone. This was much nicer. It was almost like a hundred years ago when he had a pack.

Because...Su-jin was his pack now. Even if he wasn't a wolf.

"I won't be long. Just rest," he murmured softly. He's typically soft-spoken, but there's more warmth in his voice now. He got up and vanished up the stairs just long enough to cook some oatmeal and cut some fruit. He also grabbed the small shopping bag he had prepped with bandages and ointment and a blanket from the bed was draped over his arm. In addition to all that, he wet a cloth for Silvio's eyes after he prepared breakfast. Blanket secure, the handles of the bag were around his wrist, ha carried the bowl of food in one hand and the damp cloth with a tall glass of water in the other. He was impressed with himself for managing it all in one trip.

He waited for Silvio to get up, setting things said to help him if needed, before the pressed the warm bowl into his hands. "I don't know what your stomach can handle right now, so I brought some fruit, too." He paused, looking around and frowning slightly. "Maybe we can get a bed down here for you so you don't have to sleep on the floor."

Silvio had managed to make his way over to a wall, resting against it with his eyes closed. He smiled a little at the mention of a bed. "I never put one down here because I knew I'd just tear it up."

Taking the bowl, he sniffed it. Oatmeal. He took a bite of it before lifting his head. "Were you...with me all night?"

"I was," he said with a silent nod. "And you were perfectly well-behaved. I think a bed would be safe with me here." Which, going forward, he planned to be here for Silvio's changes. One of the many perks of living within driving distance.

"Oh, I brought some cinnamon and sugar if you want that for your oatmeal." They were in the bag along with the bandages (which might not be needed) and some ointment he'd apply after Silvio ate.
