Chapter 5

        Hot… It’s HOT! You woke up sweating, panting and gasping for cool air. You wiggled around but you felt a pressure so heavy on top of you, that it made moving difficult. You somehow managed to turn until you were laying on your left side, only to see a familiar brown eye and black fur.

          Who is that? you wondered. As you wiggled until you were laying on the opposite side, you peered over a large leg covered in fur. There a tan and gray wolf slept about 50 feet from where you, and the wolf on top of you, were positioned. You shifted to until you were sitting on your belly and crawled –with great difficulty – your way out from under the large mass that seemed to have taken its place on top of you.

          When you finally were free of the mass, you heard a shifting and grunting from behind. You looked back to the black wolf, whom you assumed was the man from earlier named ‘Seokjin’. His brows were furrowed and his nose was flared, making his expression look like he was extremely uncomfortable. Though he stirred, he curled up against the tree he was lying beside and after a couple of seconds, fell back asleep.

         Finally having been freed of the large wolf’s body heat, you still felt abnormally warm. It was dawn, so the sun was just beginning to come up, but you deducted that the sun wasn’t the reason for the continued heat you felt.

         Maybe I’m just thirsty, you thought. I haven’t really drunk anything since I left home. Home… Jungkook… Mom, Dad… I miss you.

         By doing the math in your head, you realized that this would be the second day you had been away from home. You wondered what Jungkook was thinking. Was he mad at you? No, he was probably furious. Mom? No doubt about it, she was worried sick. And Dad? He was definitely blaming himself.

         When you felt your chest tighten, you shook your head hoping to shake out the thoughts and homesickness with it. Let’s go get something to drink.

         You walked over to the spot where you had seen Seokjin drinking at before, making sure to be quiet so you would not wake up the two wolves and dipped your mouth into the cool water. Due to it still being late winter, the water was like ice sliding down your throat so it caused you to shiver. However, you were still extremely hot.

         As you were quenching your thirst, you tried to observe your surroundings. You had only been out of your pack’s territory a handful of times (usually taking the main road with your parents) so you knew you were off the beaten path but you didn’t know exactly how far off you were. You had already noticed the river, and as you looked around you saw that across the river there was a small field that turned into a forest after some brush. Behind you there were staggered large trunk trees that also formed into a forest.  However as you turned your head and looked up, you realized that the forest on your side of the river seemed to be at the bottom of a mountain, and three quarters of a mile up the river there was a rock wall that the river ran through which seemed like it could easily be used as a bridge to the other side of the river. 

         While you were making your observations, you realized that the adrenaline from the events of the day before had worn off and your whole body surged and ached with pain. The cut on your back hurt, your legs ached, your head was pounding, but as you moved your feet in the soft mud of the riverbank, you felt a pain in your paws that was worse than everything else. Though you knew you were standing in mud, as you shifted your weight from one side to the other, the pain told you otherwise. Instead of mud, it was like you were standing on heated glass shards or a bed of nails.

         You just wanted to get your weight off of your paws, and cool the heat that – no matter how long you drank – wouldn’t subside. So in a split second decision, you launched yourself into the river. Now, at about .0003 seconds in the air you thought that jumping into a river right after a big rain storm might not have been the smartest epiphany you had ever concocted. This was proven true when you felt your body hit the rushing water with a force that caused all of the oxygen inside your body to become oxygen outside your body.

         You began to panic when you realized that your legs were so sore, they wouldn’t move on their own. You tried to paddle yourself to the river bank, but the current of the river was too strong and you couldn’t fight it. You opened your mouth to howl or bark, anything really, but a whine was all that came out before a rush of water found its way lodged in your windpipe.

         I can’t believe I’m going to die like this, you thought. As your head sank underwater, you closed your eyes and waited until the inevitable point where your lungs would ache and burn until you finally tried to take another breath, causing more water to pour into your mouth and sealing your fate.

         However that feeling never came. Right as you closed your eyes, you felt a strong hand grab the nape of your neck and hoist you up onto the riverbank.

         Your coughs and gasps for air caused your lungs to burn and your head to feel dizzy from the lack of oxygen. Through your coughs you could hear a growling and almost yelling coming from the man who seemed to have changed into his human form. When your breath evened out you could finally understand what he was blathering about?

         “Are you listening to me?” Seokjin growled as he glared at you, “Were you trying to kill yourself?!”

         His question was met with your face of confusion. What does he mean? Try to kill myself? I was hot…

         Of course still looking like a wolf and with no voice to even properly whine, growl, or howl, you couldn’t relay your thoughts to him at all. Still he continued with his rant.

         “Have you completely lost your mind?!” He yelled. For some reason the sound in his voice made you cower a bit, which was a strange experience to you. It made you extremely uncomfortable. You couldn’t tell if he was somehow forcing you to feel bad, or if – being in wolf form – your omega was feeling guilty for upsetting him.

         Is it because I’m shifted? Does that lessen my humanity to where I can fight back? Or is it him?

         You felt tears brim your eyes and lowered your head as he continued to glare at you. You wished Mrs. An was there, she would be able to help you understand what was going on. Why you could fight against anyone, but this person made you feel guilty. You missed your mom, you missed her hugs that made you feel like everything was going to be ok. You missed the comfort of having your little brother around, and the safety net that was your father.

         Why is he yelling at me? He doesn’t even know what I’ve been through these past couple of days… Wait a second, I’m Do Miyeon. I don’t have to be guilty. I didn’t even do anything wrong! That’s it, if he yells at me one more time, I’m going to bite his foot!

         With your head lifted up, your shoulders held high, and your resolve set, you stared back into the eyes of the man who seemed to currently be scolding you. He began to speak but you didn’t let him finish as you quickly started walking to the tree where you knew your bag was. Your feet however were not cooperating with your current “I have pride too” show off, but you held back your tears as the pain in your paws continued to prick and burn.

         You made your way behind the tree (which was not very far away from the riverbank) grabbed your bag in your mouth and plopped yourself down grateful that your feet were finally relieved of your body weight.

         Why are my paws hurting this bad? You wondered as you twisted your paws up to get a better look. What you found made you almost want to faint. You had never been much on gore and wounds, and that’s exactly what you saw. These must have come from the territory border. Your feet had large gashes and cuts in them and though they had stopped bleeding, the semi fresh wounds were still horrifying to look at. I’m going to throw up… you thought as you turned your paws back toward the ground opting to not stare at the wounds.

         You laid your head down trying to keep your mind off of the pain that seemed to intensify after finding the source of your discomfort when you heard a rustling from behind the tree. “Jinsin, what happened? Why is your face so red?” Solbi asked.

         “Let’s just walk over here,” Seokjin whispered. You heard the wet leaves squish under their feet as they seemed to walk away from where you could hear their conversation. Luckily they didn’t know that you had extra sensitive hearing.

         “What happened?” Solbi said, “And where’s the kid?”

         Kid? I’m older than you KID.

         “She jumped into the river. I don’t know what was going through her head. I thought she was trying to kill herself but... maybe not. She’s behind that tree now sulking.” Seokjin explained.

         You huffed and growled a bit. I am not sulking!

         “Ok, well... what should we do about the mission?” Solbi whispered. “We were just supposed to meet up with agent Park, but you decided to pick up the hitchhiker instead.”

         “We have to go back to the capital. The mission’s been… we just need to regroup and I’ll brief everyone then.” Seokjin said and you could sense a deep sadness in his voice.

         Seokjin being sad eased the anger you had against him from before.

         “Jinsin is everything okay? Did something happen to agent Park and the mission?” Solbi asked but after a couple seconds she continued. “Alright, I’ll go get them and bring them back here. You just stay with the kid. She really doesn’t like me so it’s best if I go and you stay here.”

         “You’ll be fine by yourself?” Seokjin began to ask but a howl was his reply. You heard the sound of paws plodding off into the earth, with the next sound being a mass plopping down behind your tree.

         For a while you just laid there and listened to him breath. By the time he cleared his throat and started to speak, it was already sunset.

         “You scared me, that’s all…” he sighed. “I woke up to you flailing in the water. I can’t stand for anybody else around me to die. ”

         You felt the heartbreak in his voice reach all the way down to your own heart. Mrs. An… elder… I’m not the only one who’s lost important people. It hurt so much you thought you were going to be sick. The pain in his voice sent a message from your brain to your feet and you quickly stood up so you could make your way toward him. You could only take a couple of steps though as the pain from your feet quickly won and you fell to your stomach with a yelp of pain.

         “What’s wrong?!” Seokjin said as he ran around the tree and up to you. You turned your paws up to the side and looked up at him. As he looked down at your paws and let out a sigh that almost sounded like he was the one in pain. “Why didn’t you tell me – oh right, don’t cry, you’re ok.”

         Crying? I’m not crying, you thought. Somehow he knew you were going to cry before you did as he was proven right when you felt your eyes water.

         “Stay here, I’ll go find some herbs for – ,” he was cut off by your stomach rumbling, “for your feet… and how about something to eat too,” he chuckled. As quickly as he said it, he ran into the forest and disappeared behind the leaves.

         With Solbi gone, and Seokjin occupied, you figured that it was the perfect time to go through your bag to find the supplements. There has to be something on that bottle that will tell me why I can’t get back to being a human.

         Getting into a drawstring bag with paws instead of hands was not as easy of a task as you had thought. You maneuvered the bag around quite a bit before you could finally nuzzle your way through the opening. Though the sun was gone, there was a little bit of light left from the refraction of the clouds just as you carefully pulled the bottle out with your teeth so you could read the warning label. Which pretty much listed the maximum dosage as 2 pills within a 24 hour period and seeing as you had taken 3 in the span of about 16 hours, you figured the most common symptom “shift disorientation” was to blame for your current wolf form. As you read further the bottle said to seek immediate help if you couldn’t shift after 36 hours.

         It’s been more than 36 hours by now right? Your fever had subsided about an hour after the river fiasco, and since failing the previous day you had not tried to shift again. Well, while they’re gone, I might as well try again.

         The darkness had just set in as you made your first attempt to shift, which ended up being a complete failure again. But thankfully after a great amount of concentration, willpower, and prayers, the second time was the charm. You were so happy, you wanted to jump up and down but all of your weight being focused back onto your feet again made you think twice. It only took a couple of seconds for your excitement to dwindle as a cold, late winter breeze brushed past your now naked skin. Somehow you felt around until you found your underwear and bra, a long sleeve shirt, some sweat pants and your socks and converses. You reached back in your bag and realized the only items you had left were your first aid kit, sweet potatoes, supplements and the chest wrap Yomin had given you.

         Where’s the rest of my clothes?! You panicked when you remembered that you shifted when you were running from Kang’s henchmen, meaning that pieces of the clothes you were wearing at that time were now scattered like confetti on the forest floor behind your house.

         “I’m back,” Seokjin said and you felt yourself lurch forward with excitement.

         What the… it was like you wanted to see him. You wanted him to be proud of you for being able to switch back into looking like a human again. You wanted to hear him praise you. I must just want to see him happy because he was sad earlier, you reasoned. Yeah that’s it.

         You were about to walk out from behind the tree when you heard him speak again. “Oh, you’re back too. I was just about to make a fire. Where are they?”

         “Putting clothes on,” Solbi grunted and set down something heavy with a ‘thud’.

         You heard the smacking of wood and then the crackle of a fire, “I bet Hoseok just loves the thought of having to walk around clothed,” Seokjin said sarcastically. “I see you brought food.”

         “This isn’t all of it, Taehyung and Yoongi have one each too. And Hoseok complained a bit on the way here but not as much as I thought he would. He’s probably just more excited about the new kid than anything else. Though he did say ‘Sleeping is always better when nude’ at least 5 times, but he’ll get over it.” Solbi chuckled, “Besides, not having to see a naked Hoseok for a while will do us all some good. What are those herbs for?”

         “She has some really bad cuts on her paws,” Seokjin explained.

         “Speaking of that little menace, where is she?” Solbi asked.

         As she was talking about you, a flash of what she said earlier came back to your head. If she’s an omega, I call dibs. You felt around in your bag for the chest wrap. You quickly pulled your shirt up and wrapped your breasts as tightly as you could living a little wiggle room for breathing.

         Just in case, you thought. You popped 2 supplements into your mouth and held back the reflex of wanting to throw up after taking them without anything, a sore throat making the task more difficult than before. 3 a day = bad, but 2 a day should be fine, you deducted.

         “I think she’s sleeping behind that tree,” Seokjin said.

         You took that as your cue to come out and as you walked toward the fire slowly letting yourself be lit up by the burning mass, you confusingly cocked your head to the side because – not only were there three new faces – but the two you already knew were looking at you strangely.

         “Dang~,” someone had said in between the two, “she’s cute.” He had brown fluffy hair, beautifully tanned skin and a face that essentially looked like a puppy incarnate.

         You looked over to Seokjin who was standing on the left and seemed to have his jaw dropped. You smiled at him then quickly looked away when someone came up behind him and whispered something about ‘type’ which you couldn’t make out because another very excited male started talking.

         “With those hips, I bet she’s an omega,” the excited man said.

         “Nah, Solbi says she’s feisty. Definitely an alpha like us,” the man who had whispered to Seokjin replied. He sleepily smiled at you and went about setting the large mass on his shoulder next to the other large mass that Solbi had placed to the left of the fire.

         Like us? What does he mean like us?! Internally you began to panic until you saw a man walking from behind the others with his hands crossed over his chest.

         The way he walked looked so familiar, but you just couldn’t pinpoint it. He made his way around Solbi and the crowd of three until his face was just barely lit up by the light of the fire. You couldn’t see much of his facial features but the outline of his head and the smirk he was wearing rekindled an angry fire in you so deep that, by the time you had controlled your emotions, it was already too late. Seokjin and Solbi each had an arm across your chest holding you back, and a man you had never wanted to see again was staring up at you from his position on the ground with a bloody nose and a look that could kill an army of wolves.

         “Do Miyeon, I’m going to rip you to shreds!!!”
