@α Park Gyuri If there was any surefire way to get closer to the wolf - the inner being that makes werewolves who they truly are - it would be being in the very form that they were meant to be. Yifan could feel one of his ears twitch happily on his own at the comfort of the latter around. It felt like everyone in his pack was safe and that along made the wolf content to think that he had done that. That these people are all his to take care of and they're safe. The wolf would usually puff up its chest if not for the fact that Yifan was choosing to lay down as he waited for the others to return. He was always had his own form of boastfulness but the obvious way was not it.

Shaking his big head, Yifan could feel another sneeze coming on, baring fangs as he tried to resist. In the end he was able to settle back down, using his paws as a means as to not rest his head on the dirt again. He didn't like sneezing as a wolf. It was quite awkward and he had no hands to wipe his nose as his instincts told him to. Not only that but he couldn't communicate verbally and that in itself was a problem.

From afar he could hear them coming closer. His tail swishing on the dusty ground, he felt at ease. Yifan could already smell the game they were bringing back. He couldn't quite place his finger - or paw, rather - on what it was from such a distance but they were coming home and then they could all eat together as a pack. Hunting was dangerous but his pack never failed to come back home.

@α Wu Yifan She felt the other latter stretched as his fur brushing her light toned skin. She tilts her body to the side first for him to stretch out and when he found his comfortable spot, she leaned her body to his big form. She has a bit of envy in her heart, seeing him in his full form. Knowing she could not transform fully except in a very threatened matter, she envy and misses the feeling in her stronger form. But if she does dare to transform, it will only cause her condition to be much worse than before. Yifan already forbids her to transform, she could die

It’s cute though, seeing him like this. It has been a long time since they show sibling-like affection to each other, knowing them both had been together since the start. She cares deeply for him, not really caring if he feels the same for her. All that she knows that all of the pack protects each other, even though she’s on a critical condition at the moment. Occasionally she would poke or caress his ears, depending on the way it moves

She leaned towards him more, sharing more warmth than before as she snuggles with his fur. Gyuri jolts up when she heard the loud sneeze coming from him, the sound echoes towards the forest. She regained her composure and chuckles “Bless you” she said as she moves her hand to his head and maw, caressing it with affection. “You should be more careful, it’s the season of sickness and cold” she said to him still brushing his furs

@α Park Gyuri Feeling relaxed with everyone in his pack so close, Yifan stretched himself out on the ground, tail flicking at the ground naturally to show his happiness. Yawning, his tongue lolled out of his mouth, showing fangs and all. It was almost comforting to not be in a human form. This way felt natural somehow. It felt safer, too. Yifan knew as a fact that the land was secure so there was no hiding who he was or who the rest of his pack was either. Being in wolf form gave him a nice sense of freedom.

Listening for all the sounds around them, Yifan's ears twitched. They folded against his head then raised themselves again, perking whenever they picked up a new voice that hadn't been talking before or a sound that caught his attention. Putting his head onto the ground, Yifan closed his eyes, tail practically wagging like a domesticated dog. He was warmer in wolf form too. The breeze was almost nice rather than chilling. Still, he didn't mind the extra bit of body heat as he felt the other come closer.

Snuffing at the ground, Yifan gave a small sneeze, his whole head shaking. It shocked his wolf for the time being. Neither one of them had expected that kind of reaction but he had to suppose that it was because he must've inhaled too much dirt off the ground without knowing. Apparently, it had been a while since he was in his wolf form for this long.

@α Wu Yifan She looked ahead and smells the air. Now she understood what he's talking about. Their own packmates are arriving with food. I guess it's the second wave, the amount of her own siblings are lessen on the house. The smell of fresh food are strong on the air, she can feel the wolves that delivers it are excited for the meal. Though she kept quiet as she waited with him

Gyuri raised her eyebrows when he didn't make a sound and she chuckled "You know I can understand what you're saying Yifan" she leans to his fur, resting her head on it "Are you forgetting that I'm one of your kind?" she chuckled again. The wind starts to blow and she shivered, tightening her grip around her legs becoming a ball. She took a piece of his clothing that is a coat and wraps it around her "You don't mind right?" she asked him as she scoots closer

She kept her head up, her ears and eyes open as she wait for the food with him

@α Huang Zitao Although he could sympathize, Yifan wasn't sure what to answer so he stayed silent. He listened and understood. From what Yifan gathered, what Zitao wanted was not what his parents wanted for him. A small part of Yifan was jealous of what Zitao had though. If he had parents that cared enough to annoyingly try to marry him off every gathering Yifan would be tired of it as well, but at least that would indicate he had parents that cared about him in that way. Yifan's parents, when they were around, weren't concerned about marrying him off. They had other hopes and ambitions that were disrupted when he was born.

Yifan came to accept that that was how things were.

The more they danced the more he gave off signals that he didn't want to be doing this. He didn't want to dance. He wanted to brood somewhere in the corner of the room after making sure all guests were attended to. Just because it was necessary for him to attend didn't mean that he had to enjoy any of it. At this particular moment Yifan felt that maybe brooding of all things would be better than dancing uncomfortably with a childhood friend.

He wasn't sure what to think. He was reluctant to acknowledge that they had a past together because then they would have a connection. His wolf enjoys those close relationships since they aren't things that Yifan often has, but the human side is often what's in control. He felt slightly offended that Zitao didn't care to rekindle their old relationship but that's what Yifan practically said he wanted. He was being too distant to make his feelings clear.

Breaking apart from each other, Yifan felt eyes on him as the younger alpha dashed away. A member of his pack approached him to ask what happened but Yifan was already following close behind. He let the scent lead him since, despite knowing where the halls led, he wasn't sure where Zitao was going at all. He couldn't read minds - especially not this males.

Each step Yifan could tell that they were still pretty close. He said, in a much louder tone than usual, "How could you get me to dance and leave me by myself? We have an event to finish attending. It's only polite to leave after dessert!"

@α Huang Zitao He couldn't help but roll his eyes. "You'll have to face that kind of responsibility eventually. If I thought I had found someone suitable enough to be my mate, I would've made it happen by now, but I haven't. My experiences with previous partners isn't something I'd like to share where people can overhear."

Yifan wasn't necessarily tiffed by the way they were dancing. In fact, he didn't really care at all. Dancing isn't his favorite thing to do at these events but it seemed that he had no choice in the matter. He didn't have to look at anyone else when it came to dancing. He already knew how from these kinds of gatherings in the past. The movements were quite repetitive and easy to follow after a little while. He used his memory to keep an eye on everyone else as they danced and talked.

"I don't wish I had a mate, but I do wish that I had kids of my own. That's a part of my life that I can't help but think of and want. It's part of our biological imperative to want a mate and children. We can only resist that for so long." Yifan explained, stepping so that he didn't step on the latter's toes. The most bothersome thing about dancing with an unfamiliar partner was that Yifan didn't know how fast they liked to dance. He had experience with those that liked things slow and romantic while others, much like himself, didn't want to be out on the dance floor for too long.

Ignoring the few looks he received by members of his pack wondering why their head alpha was being led and not leading, Yifan cleared his throat. The song was hopefully going to end sooner than later. Though, he felt that because he was now wishing for that, the song wouldn't end any time soon. In the background, he could hear the piano clearly when he focused on the sound. It was pretty. Just enough so that it was a nice addition to the feeling.

"You know, I wouldn't advise telling your parents that we don't really remember each other. They would be disappointed in our lack of memory. We were supposed to be close." Yifan advised as they continued to dance much to his dismay. His eyes located a clock with some difficulty only to realize that it would be a little while longer before the song ended if the song was a usual song length. Yifan wanted the time to go faster.

@α Huang Zitao In short, Yifan couldn't remember much about Zitao except a few little things. He remembered brief details, but the way his parents talked about their previous relationship had his head spinning a little. He couldn't quite put his finger on how they grew apart if they were supposedly so close when they were younger. Sure enough, they aren't in the same pack but it probably had something to do with when the hunters came about. It was a bad time and all those memories in general became a blur once it all calmed down. Those are days Yifan purposely blocked from his memory.

"I don't see how your intention and they way you actually feel about me match." Yifan groaned, rolling his eyes just a little bit. He could see that the younger male was running low on patience, something that he did happen to remember about him. Crinkling his nose, Yifan downed the rest of his glass, placing it on someone's full tray walking by so that he didn't have to hold it anymore. If he was going to keep drinking, he would have to do it gradually throughout the night unfortunately. "I'm not particularly concerned about how your parents see our relationship. Alphas aren't really meant to mate with alphas."

He could imagine it. A day when he finally has children of his own to take care of. Not just small pack members but actual cubs to call his own. It's an image that Yifan does enjoy thinking about occasionally but not to linger over. He hasn't managed to mate with someone with that kind of effect on him just yet. Those people were all just fleeting moments. Not long lasting ones.

Feeling himself being tugged on, Yifan felt affronted. "This is one of the nicest shirts I own, if you're trying to play nice, this isn't the way to do it." He flattened it out the best he could with his other hand once he began to go along willingly. A few female alphas looked them, but he paid them no mind. He had made it clear in the past at these kinds of pointless events, omegas are the only ones he'll mate unless extremely convinced. He hasn't been convinced.

"Is there any reason you're so opposed to being mated?" He asked once they were fully on the dance floor. Yifan looked around at the other pairs who were actually couples, or at least couples in the making, with slight disapproval. "These conventions might be the very place you find your permanent mate."

@α Huang Zitao He held back a laugh at Mrs. Huang's eagerness to find her son a mate. At an alpha conference, Yifan has figured out, there aren't too many good potential mates to choose from. A few omegas he's heard about don't seem quite bad but none of them appeal to Yifan or his wolf. An alpha or two have appealed to Yifan's wolf but only the smell and that would be hard to explain to a pack that their alpha got mated because he was attracted to just their smell.

"An alpha needs to be mated eventually. I'm assuming that so far you haven't been mated - or even bonded - just yet." Yifan guessed, crossing his arms over his chest. The new stance only lasted a few seconds before a girl came over with a new drink, special with a stronger alcohol that even his system couldn't resist. "It's a long process to find that perfect mate. I don't blame you for being reluctant to doing it."

Casually, Yifan looked around, observing his guests enjoying themselves. Most omegas that appeared were with their respective mates, dancing or mingling with others that were also mated. His short moment of the quiet calm ended abruptly by a threat from the young alpha in front of him. Yifan held back from throwing any threats back because he's the host of the conference and it would be inappropriate to do so, or at least that's what his wolf pressed when Yifan smacked his lips together after a few sips of his drink. Nobody else heard, which was good at least.

"I do appreciate being called pretty but I don't think it's quite nice of you to threaten me and then ask for a dance." Yifan said, raising a brow. From across the room he locked eyes with a member of his pack speaking to a man about mating him and his daughter. In acknowledgement and a gesture of good luck, Yifan raised his glass. "If you think dancing with me will make your parents lay off of you, I'd think you're wrong. Nothing happened in the woods because I walked away and you let me. No reason to get violent over a little encounter. You used to like me."

@α Huang Zitao When the proof that he knew the male from the woods was presented to him, Yifan did feel a bit stupid. He knew it was a detail he should've remembered if he had put the effort into it. The name was so distinctly Chinese that it was surprising both him and his wolf that it wasn't more familiar that it came to mind automatically. Luckily, he was spared any future embarrassment when his parents so kindly did all the catching up for him. They talked about him with what seemed like fondness to Yifan that he couldn't draw himself away even if he wanted to. Since he was hosting, he couldn't be blatantly rude to his guests.

"Nice to see you again," he answered with a knowing smile. Even if the other male didn't know that he didn't really remember him either, he still had the upper hand. It wasn't like Yifan had his parents hanging over his shoulders. He didn't, and also wasn't planning on, telling the Huang's about the encounter in the woods. Considering the younger alpha's facial expressions, Yifan surmised that he wasn't happy to see him again. The woods was long enough to be around each other maybe.

Yifan flashed a smile to the alpha's parents, loosening his tie a bit. "That's alright. We all have things that we forget. According to your parents we were quite the pair when we were younger. I didn't remember that right away either. I've been told that I was always polite as a child." Yifan shrugged his shoulders, drinking the rest of what remained in his glass. The alcohol was a bit strong to drink all at once but still not enough for what he wanted.

Waving a hand a girl with a serving tray, he put the empty glass on the tray and asked for another. With the absence of something in his hand, he put it in his pocket. "Since you're all here, maybe it would be a good idea to catch up on how things left off before the end of the night. Honestly, I'd rather do that than be propositioned by every alpha with an omega child to be their mate. I admit I like some of the traditional ways, but that is not one of those things."

@α Huang Zitao Social events have never been kind to Yifan before. Usually something would eventually go wrong and it drives Yifan crazy. Based upon his guests, Yifan surmised just by looking at them all quickly that things should go smoothly - or at least smoother than in the past. For whatever reason Yifan has realized, reflecting in the past, that it's always himself that causes the problem. It takes two to tango, so it's not always his fault something goes wrong, but his wolf would like to beg to differ. Luckily, people can't hear his wolf. Only Yifan can.

A glass of alcohol not nearly strong enough to get him through the evening, he found himself greeting his visitors with fake smile accompanied by unwanted handshakes. Yifan learned from the last alpha conference that his alcohol tolerance for regular alcohol was much too high that by the time he even attempted to have a third drink, the server cut him off without his knowing. Being an alpha at one of these times is the only time that Yifan feels regretful of his status.

Eventually, Yifan finds himself called over to a new conversation. He knows the alphas who are speaking to him but doesn't care to try to remember where they come from. He knows for sure that they're from a pack relatively close that they were actually pleased to take a trip up the mountains. As they make small talk, he gradually downs his drink, raising the glass in acknowledgement when they say something that he can agree with them on.

The alpha that's speaking to him currently says something about his son, to which Yifan only half hears, when he catches a familiar scent. It smells like the one from the woods earlier, causing the male to smile suddenly that the alpha speaking to him break off from their original topic to ask why his facial expression changed so suddenly.

"No reason," he just answers, "it just seems like this conference is becoming quite the turnout. I'm glad a hike up the mountains was worth it."

@α Huang Zitao The day after his encounter, his wolf was still thinking about it, trying to remember the scent after Yifan had long forgotten about it. It would whine whenever Yifan had time, wanting assistance in remembering who the sent belonged to but neither the name nor the scent was something that rang any distinct bells. He had met plenty of wolves before that he has forgotten the name of or the scent - maybe even both - so it wasn't a big concern of his. He had other things to be concerned about.

Because the north happens to be so secluded and so hard to get to most of the year, Yifan found himself allowing neighboring packs to visit for a conference. He has learned to hate conferences. They're unnecessary as long as the alpha in charge keeps their pack under control. Yifan never saw trouble with his own pack members. He lets them do what they want as long as he doesn't have to hear about it. If the humans don't become a threat to them, it isn't a problem that they want to go into the city every once and a while. Scenery other than mountains is something Yifan wished he had more in his life.

But he doesn't. So instead, Yifan gets dressed in some of the nicest casual clothes he owns. He doesn't like the feeling of a suit so something as long as it's nice looking Yifan supposed would be good enough. None of his pack commented on his clothes when he walked through their territory from his own quarters to the hall where the conference would take place clad in a button down white shirt and dark jeans. His shoes were shiny and black, new from his last trip into the city. Although Yifan found sneakers was much more comfortable to wear in the mountains, sneakers wouldn't be seen as appropriate for the day's event. A tie was around his neck but since he couldn't do it himself and make it look nice, Yifan sought out an omega, asking for help. Only when it was tied nicely did he go to the conference hall.

@α Huang Zitao "It's Yifan," he said, raising his arms over his head to stretch. He kept looking at this other male - Zitao - as if that would help decipher what he was currently thinking. His sense of smell could only tell him as much as the latter's body was giving off. Yifan's wolf had become quite good at recognizing and distinguishing the differences between different pheromones that everyone around him give off naturally.

He found out that it does come in handy sometimes. When he had hit the other, he didn't see any look of pain, but there was a small change of scent in the air taken by the breeze that Yifan picked up on, enough to get his wolf's confidence boosted even more. Though he was calm, his wolf wanted to fight or at least stop holding back, stop being so careful. They were in the middle of the woods and only so much fighting could happen before one of them would fall into the nearby river. The sound of water rushing down the stream was almost a taunt for one of them to fall in if they were stupid enough to really fight.

"If that's all," Yifan started, "I think there's no use in keeping me here. I have a pack to get back to that's more worth my time than this is." He announced finally, clapping his hands together once to cue that he was going to leave. "Really, only the head alpha has final say whether or not I'm trespassing on your supposed land. Since it's just you and I, I'm pretty sure it's only you that thinks I'm in the wrong." Grinning, he began to walk forward.

Briefly, Yifan raised his hand to clasp it onto the latter's shoulder, but decided against it. At the last moment he decided to just keep his hands to himself and made a move to walk around Zitao completely. Luckily, it was still nice out, providing nice weather for the trip home. For a moment he even contemplated running home in his wolf form to fully grasp that freedom of the beautiful day, however, Yifan currently liked his clothes and didn't want to ruin them because he went running. Not today.

@α Huang Zitao Clearly, since he had egged the other male on, he wasn't expecting a friendly reply. In fact, he was pleasantly surprised when he felt a hand at his throat, not pressing or causing any pain, but lingering there to get the threat across. Yifan wasn't worried at all. He could tell by the look in the other's eyes that he was still on the younger side. Yifan could take him on, maybe with some issues, but he felt confident that he could walk away with minimal scratches. Wolves - well, werewolves in particular - were known to heal quickly. He didn't feel nervous at all.

"I gave you an answer. You just chose not to like it." Yifan said, throwing in a small shrug of his shoulders. Though he was slightly taller, it wasn't hard at all to look into the other's eyes. On the uneven terrain they were almost eye to eye. Hi wolf was exited by the promise of a challenge. "Annoying? I won't disagree but I can't say that that's the most intimidating thing I've heard. I feel like I should be more on edge, but I'm not."

Feeling the grip on this throat loosen, Yifan knocked the hand away from his throat altogether, though he made no move to get any more space between them. "If I tell you my name, what will you do with it anyway? If you want to hurt me, it might be better to make it as impersonal as possible. It'll be better that way for the both of us if that happens. But, for my pack, it'll make it harder for my pack to find you if something happens since they'd only have a scent. There're consequences for fighting, not so much for trespassing. Otherwise, someone would have approached me earlier. I would know."

@α Huang Zitao The solitude was so nice that Yifan found himself lost in his own thoughts. He went from standing near by the water to gradually getting closer until he was on the edge of the bank, close enough to even put his feet in the water if he wanted. The air was cool enough to begin with but the weather was even nicer near the water. It would have given anyone else a slight chill but Yifan had the body heat of a werewolf. The cold managed to feel nice on his skin.

Even though he didn't know this part of the woods, the way it felt was familiar enough that he barely caught the scent of someone creeping up behind him. His wolf didn't feel threatened by the new presence so Yifan didn't either. Yifan let himself be approached, keeping his back facing the latter. The scent tugged at his memory, though he couldn't quite put his finger on why he remembered it. The memory was only slight. His wolf remembered it more than Yifan. Altogether, neither could place where in the past the scent has first occurred. His memory was apparently more blurred than he thought.

His ears perked up when he was addressed. A smile crossed Yifan's lips, almost looking forward to some kind of confrontation It had been a while since he had fought anyone and if for whatever reason the other wolf felt he was trespassing, Yifan didn't mind the thought of starting a fight. "I don't really feel like answering that," Yifan said, only to provoke, turning around with the smile twisted into a small smirk. "I felt like going for a run. I ended up here."

@α Park Gyuri Yifan had his eyes ahead of him, seemingly looking at nothing. What mattered was that he could smell them, hear them. Quickly, he shifted, divesting himself of his bits of clothes first. Being a wolf was comfortable, although a bit quiet, but it was a comfortable shift that he could do with ease and in an instant. There were times with his first pack that clothes were an oddity - a rarity to see included in a pack with very traditional ways.

Sitting back on his haunches, ears perked up at attention, he resumed his game of waiting. Yifan considered laying down completely when he caught someone coming up behind him. Grunting slightly with a bit of fang, Yifan moved his head into the direction of the oncoming packmates, moving his paws in the dirt as if that would help his game of charades. Knowing it would be easier to speak as a human, his wolf chose for the both of them that they would stay in his form. For a while at least.

His wolf already decided that once food arrived, they would eat in human form. Eating as a wolf was much too messy.

@α Wu Yifan As she continues with her knitting, she sensed something was off. She looked around, the faces of alphas guarding the house while they peacefully sat on their grounds. Yet somebody is missing, where’s the leader. Being the former leader she knows that the leader must protect the house when the rest of the packmates departed. But maybe because they’ve came home, he decided to take a stroll. It’s been a long time since she communicated with the leader, she has somehow missed him. He’s one of the people that understand her condition and one of the people who decided to be over-protective over her. She find his actions are rather cute and of course, that’s what leaders are supposed to do. She had always and stayed by his side on the past, but now it seems that the distance had been made and she wants to change that

Delicately lays the head of an asleep alpha on the ground, she decided to take another stroll alone. One of the alphas growls lightly at her, warning her to be careful if she doesn’t requires any protection. Gyuri smiles at him and affectionaly gave a sisterly kiss on his head. She walked down barefooted into the woods, the grass touches her feet. Having a wolf sense, finding her other packmates is easy. Finding the lead alpha is quite difficult since they’re able to hide their scent, the same goes to her. Following the path, she smelled the air. Left, her instinct says. She faltered from the dirt path into tricky trees, following the very thin and faint scent of his. She had been going round and round, it is difficult to find them. But after a while, the scent is getting stronger. Slowing her pace, she follows it. She found a familiar huge figure and that golden fur of his. Who wouldn’t recognize it really? She had been with him the longest since he came. Slowly walking to his side, she crouched down “What are we spying at?” she doubted she surprised him, but that’s her playful intention from the start

@α Huang Zitao For the most part, Yifan hates living in the north. He has found that it's not always as safe a place as it appears. Despite being a wolf and having that extra bit of strength that humans don't have, he has always found that living up in the mountains is a difficult kind of task, something that he learned while being in a pack in Canada. The mountains can be lonely, but sometimes, also a good place to clear his head.

Yifan realized that through his hatred for the mountains and woods, he had so much territory to wander and call his own. What parts he couldn't protect, the natural elements could fix the problems all on his own. Although he was tempted to, he set off in a run in his human form, preferring to keep his clothes in tact instead of turning into a wolf and letting his nice clothes be torn to shreds when he transforms. It would be such a pain for him to rip all his clothes purposely and then have to clean it up afterward. So instead, Yifan decided to it up and just run, let his instincts lead his feet in the most natural direction.

Around him the scent of trees and small animals caught Yifan's attention. He liked how it was such a fresh feeling despite the amount of sweat that gradually appears on his forehead and the back of his neck. The cooling sensation of passing small bushes and trees allowed Yifan to feel free in a way that he hadn't been able to embrace since he had left Canada years ago. Running, oddly enough, was Yifan's way to letting go to relax. Some scents were familiar and reminded him of home, while others were just familiar in a way that he recognized them as part of the forest. The scents that were unfamiliar now became just bits of information to be tucked away in the back of his mind.

Slowly, his run came to a halt at the sound of running water. Pleased with himself and the distance he ran, Yifan jogged in the direction of the water, content.

@α Park Gyuri Yifan enjoyed when the pack was able to safely wander the territory. Just because it is there doesn't mean that they are completely safe. He found that it calmed him down considerably when he goes to walk in his wolf form. That way he is quicker, his senses stronger, and he can blend in with the rest of the surroundings. His coat was just dark enough where it meshed in nicely as a camouflage.

However, sometimes Yifan didn't want to go wander around in wolf form. This time Yifan was more in the mood to just get out and run, enjoying how safe his pack felt and how at ease they seemed. Most of the wolves that remained in the heart of their property gave Yifan a calming sensation. Walking on the outside where most of them were staying, he was quick to sniff out that some of the packmates were returning with what smelled like food from a distance. Pausing from his walk, he turned to see if he could spot them approaching.

@ α Wu Yifan; Sitting on the ground with a few wolves curled up next to her is a convenient way to spend your evening. Gyuri had just came home from a little stroll with her packmates. Mostly are betas and omegas since the alphas are protecting their home. It had been a while since she played with the guys, she forgot how energetic and protective they are. While the guys transformed into their wolf form and run all they want, Gyuri is not able to transform into her stronger form and can only be accompanied in case she fell down or exhausted. Fortunately, she felt a lot better than she was before so she managed to come home without blacking out or coughing blood. Before they came home, they visited her house near the big tree for Gyuri to fetch their extra meat that she bought from the village. Just in case they’re still hungry even after a successful hunt they’re going to do tonight. The sky is blazing with the red and orange, the sun is half-awake and so does her packmates. In her hands is 2 thick needles and bulky blue yarn. In her lap is one of the alphas that came with them and the fatigue is eating him away. While the others are curled up beside her, some desires an attention from her like a little puppy. Gyuri only respond by caressing their huge head and that spot near the ear, giving affectionate like how a mother should do. Sometimes the wolves looked up to her as their mother, being the previous leader and one of the most caring packmates. And her illness is what made them protective of her. Not that she dislikes the attention from them, she enjoy their company. But sometimes they’re exaggerating it a bit. She gazes away to the red sky once again, wondering when she will obtain her freedom back. If she’s not able to sit down and let it cure herself, she must fight the illness back. It is a progressive that she feels better, it allows her to breathe normally and enjoy the time she has. She caresses the lock of the large alpha as he stirred. She smiled and continue with her knitting
