@☁︎┊lan kang ᵃ Sensing the subtle shift in the posture of the man beside her Hyunjung glanced over. Just enough to see what he was doing, without trying to draw attention to it. It probably was a bit more obvious than she tried to make it, especially when her posture changed a little with him shifting closer. Though she did not pull back there was a hesitance in her eyes as she regarded his slow movements. It did not feel like something she had to fear. So when he finally leaned in against her she found herself reciprocating the gesture, leaning her head onto his shoulder slightly.

“She was,” she sighed, her gaze falling back down into the darkness amongst the trees. Her mother had been the kind of woman that cared for everyone with the capacity she could. She had been a figurehead in her community along with her father, both working to help everyone they could. And yet they never neglected being parents, always ensuring that Hyunjung had anything and everything she would want. Had they remained around longer she might have one day grown up to be like that. Now she only hoped she could live up to heir name with even a modicum of their kindness.

Perhaps it was that loss of warmth that had truly made her as expressionless as she could seem now. She had never fully had the mind of her mother. Never fully shared the bravery of her father. All she had left was the cold truth of rules and order.
Without even thinking Hyunjung had nuzzled her face better against Kang’s shoulder, her defences slipping somewhat from all the thoughts of her parents. A slight sniffle escaped her as she closed her eyes, seeking the comfort of his warmth. “I wish they could have made me a better one,” she whispered, her voice trembling uncharacteristically.

@☁︎┊lan hyunjung ᵒ Kang noticed it, the quiet sadness that lingered beneath her words, even as she spoke with such fondness. He didn’t pry, but he did shift, sitting up and moving a little closer. The night air was growing cooler, and while he wasn’t sure if she would accept warmth from him, he still wanted to offer it in whatever small way he could.

He nodded thoughtfully at her words, letting them settle within him like the steady glow of the stars above. “Hm.” he hummed softly, a small smile tugging at his lips. “Even after all these years, I still find myself searching for home. But when I look at the stars, I realize… home is anywhere I make it to be.” His gaze flickered toward her then, watching the way she hugged her knees, her posture curling inward as if bracing against a cold that wasn’t just in the air. He then leaned into her slightly, offering both support for her and for himself. A silent gesture of him telling her he can lean on him too.

Her next words made him shake his head, his expression warm despite the heaviness he sensed in her. “No, not at all.” He smiled assuringly. He liked hearing her talk like this, letting her thoughts flow freely. She didn’t often share so much, and he found himself treasuring these moments where she did. It was a glimpse into her, into the way she saw the world, into the things she held close to her heart.

“Your mother sounds like a wise woman.” he murmured, sincerity threading through his voice. He could tell that her mother had taught her well, left an imprint on the way she thought, the way she saw meaning in things. And that was something Kang understood, the weight of lessons left behind. The difference, though, was that while Hyunjung had carried her mother’s wisdom, Kang had spent most of his life learning on his own. His parents had been present, but never in the ways that mattered. Their focus had always been on restoring honor, on ambition and status, leaving little room for warmth or guidance. The thought made his chest tighten for a moment, but he pushed it away, choosing instead to focus on the present, on her.

“I’m sure your parents are proud of you, Hyunjung.” he said after a beat, his voice steady, certain. He didn’t know everything about her past, but from what he had seen, and from the woman she had become he had no doubt. “You grew up into a great woman.” There was no hesitation in his words, no empty comfort. Just truth.

@☁︎┊lan kang ᵃ It was not often Hyunjung would so readily open up about anything relating to her parents, and for good reason. It felt like tearing the wound open again. Even now under the sky that once felt so inviting she felt the cold loss of her mother’s touch on her shoulders, making her acutely aware of the lack of warmth. Despite her outfit she had slowly drawn her legs back up towards her chest, hugging her own knees much like a scared kid as she kept staring up at the stars she loved so much. There was not a lot of comfort in it. But there was a little.

Luckily Kang was still there, providing a hint of warmth even if distant. She kept staring wide-eyed into the sky, quickly finding the constellation he was talking off by looking for the belt. It was simple, yes, but to her the answer was as interesting as any other he could give. It spoke truths of who he was, even if only on the surface.
“Stability,” she mumbled quietly when he had asked his question, not looking over towards him but rather trailing the path through the stars of Orion. “There is comfort in stability. Safe harbour. Home. Use whichever metaphor you’d like. But-“ Finally her gaze fell down towards him, though there was no hint of a smile this time. “I don’t see why that would make you boring. It being a common constellation just means it has meant a lot to many people. It does not take away from the value and meaning you put in it.”

Hyunjung’s eyes slowly lowered, glancing about as she hugged her knees tighter. “Perhaps that sounds too presumptuous. I-“ Her nose flared a little as her lips twitched, her gaze quickly turning back to the sky. “My mother always said that wisdom could be found in old constellations. Of the stories they told and the functions they served. Each one was as valuable as any old scroll or tome.”

@☁︎┊lan hyunjung ᵒ Kang hummed in agreement, a soft smile gracing his lips. "You’re right. A Lan should help anyone." And if it weren’t for the Lan, he wasn’t sure where he would be now. After being adopted by the clan, It had taken him time to adjust, to shed the mindset ingrained in him from the Wen and truly embrace the values of his new home. But maybe, in a way, being an outcast from the start had made it easier. He had never been truly welcome in the Wen, never truly belonged. The Lan, for all their rigid discipline, had given him something precious, a place where kindness wasn’t conditional, where worth wasn’t measured by lineage.

His gaze followed hers toward the stars as she spoke, his brow raising slightly at her answer. The Black Tortoise, it wasn’t the first constellation most people would name, and that alone impressed him. She really did know her stars. His admiration deepened as he traced the pattern in the sky, letting her words settle over him like the quiet night air. And then she glanced at him, and for a moment, he could see the shift in her. The way her shoulders eased, the small waver in her smile before she turned back to the sky. Kang didn’t press, he only held her gaze for a beat longer before offering her a soft, reassuring smile, then looking upward once more. "Don’t we all?" he murmured in response to her childhood fascination with Pegasus, understanding her sentiment all too well. He had spent many nights wishing for something greater than himself, something untouchable yet ever present. Maybe that was what made the stars so captivating in the first place.

A chuckle left his lips then, light and self conscious. "Now I’m almost embarrassed to share mine." He exhaled, shaking his head before finally admitting, "It’s Orion the Hunter. I know it’s probably the most common constellation out there, but it’s the easiest to spot." His voice softened slightly as he reflected on it. "I think… it’s just comforting. No matter where I’ve been, I’ve always been able to find it in the sky. And for some reason, that always makes me feel a little less lost." He turned to her then, an amused glint in his eyes. "Pretty boring of me, right?" His lips curled into a teasing smile, punctuating his words with a small shrug.

@☁︎┊lan kang ᵃ Hyunjung was still drying her eyes when she heard his little teasing joke, unable to keep herself from letting out a choked laugh. He was right. Almost fully, at least. “A Lan should help anyone,” she answered back, her voice still a little light from the laughter as she gave him a slightly harder nudge of her own elbow against his arm. “Equally. Human or wolf, no matter what clan.” Ever since she had been young she had been taught to see the value in everyone and to seek equality for all. It had been a driving force for her in life; enough that she had debated going into law when she had been younger. But she had found her place in tech, and knew it was as important as anything else.

As he eased back she remained seated, one hand tapping out a little rhythm of her own making on her exposed knee. Her gaze had long since drifted back up to the sky above them, trailing the patterns through the stars like she had been taught when she was little. Their shapes formed images to go with them in her mind, celestial giants floating through space as they shaped worlds and stars out in the cosmos.
“The Black Tortoise.”
The answer had only taken a second, her eyes already trailing through the stars in the large constellation. “The only one I know which meaning resonates both here and in the west.” Hyunjung glanced over towards him on the ground, the faintest hint of a smile on her lips. “Though I guess there it would only be a part of the larger image. The Pegasus.” If he looked close he would see her shoulders sink a little, the corner of her smile wobbling a little before she turned her gaze up again. “My mother once told me the Tortoise was the symbol of winter itself. Of strength and spirit.” Her voice was wistful, giving way to a breathy laugh. “Yet little me always wanted to hear of the Pegasus. Of the flying horse that helped the heroes of old.”

@☁︎┊lan hyunjung ᵒ Kang caught the brief flicker of emotion in her expression, the way her eyes shimmered just a little too much, the slight tremble in her breath. A quiet understanding settled over him, and though part of him wanted to ask, to offer comfort, he chose instead to let it be. Some feelings were best left unspoken until the time was right.

As she settled beside him, thanking him once more, he simply shook his head with a soft chuckle. "Anything for you, Hyunjung. Lan should help out a Lan, right?" His voice carried a light teasing note as he gently nudged her arm, hoping to ease the lingering weight of whatever had momentarily gripped her heart.

Leaning back against the grassy incline, he propped one hand under his head, letting his gaze drift up toward the vast night sky. The stars twinkled in quiet brilliance, and for a while, he simply admired them, breathing in the cool night air. After a moment, his voice broke the silence, soft and curious. "What's your favorite constellation?" His eyes shifted toward her, searching her face. He had a feeling she would know, that she had spent enough time under a sky like this to have an answer. More than that, though, he was simply curious, wanting, for some reason, to know her a little better.

@☁︎┊lan kang ᵃ His words preceded his actions just enough to give her the time to process them before his hands found her shoulders, helping her back up from her bow. It was gentle, much like the man himself. More a guiding touch than any forceful yank. And the same seemed to reflect on his face with a mix of awkward amusement. There was not even a hint of annoyance there at all. It just went to prove that one thing that she had been noting about him: He was a true Lan, caring in a way few others managed to be.

“I guess you are correct,” Hyunjung hummed quietly in agreement to his statement. If put to it she would stubbornly argue that whatever he felt the need to thank her for she certainly would have to thank him for back. It was not as if she had been the only one helping him, after all. And she would not let the injustice of only one party being acknowledged for the effort they put in stand.
“You showed your trust in me first, so… It only seemed a given I would do the same back.” Her deep voice was soft and contemplative, fighting away the image of his hands gently kneeding her shoulders and bringing her a momentary spot of comfort. Not that she would have much time with the mental image either way as Kang grabbed her wrist, gently tugging to have her follow.

She did not hesitate to follow his lead as they branched off from the main path. When the ground beneath her feet became more uneven she adjusted her arm back a little in his loose grip, finding her own hand soon holding his. It felt more natural as he lead the way ahead towards a small clearing. And as they stumbled into the small patch of wood, the sky their only source of light, Hyunjung felt that tug again. She looked up, the light of the moon gently reflecting the hint of blue in her dark eyes as she studied the sky. It was such a mesmerizing sight that she forgot she was holding his hand until he had let go.

“It’s like home…”
Her voice came out a bit more choked than intended, not having expected to get a sight like this anywhere but the mountains. It tugged at her heartstrings, drawing out a longing for home that she did not realize had been there all along. Luckily Kang’s voice had breached in just at the right moment, pulling her back to reality with his question. Hyunjung quickly sniffled, dabbing the sleeve of her jacket against the corners of her eyes. “Yes, that would probably feel better.” She tried her best to keep her voice steady as she stepped closer, this time hesitating for a few seconds before placing her hand in his. It was a welcome aid as she sunk down beside him, her legs folding over one another modestly.
“T-thank you, Kang.”

@☁︎┊lan hyunjung ᵒ Kang smiled softly at her words, nodding as he caught the careful way she phrased things. He knew the last thing Hyunjung wanted was to be a bother, but to him, it was never an inconvenience. “Don’t worry, you’re my guest. I’ll make sure you’re comfortable. It’s no bother, okay?” His voice was gentle, hoping it would be enough to ease her mind about staying over. His apartment wasn’t much. Its small but adequate, cozy in its own way. It would be more than enough for the two of them.

As they walked, Kang kept an eye on her, his arm subtly ready to extend if she needed assistance. She adjusted quickly, though, her footing growing steadier with every step. He noticed how she kept glancing up at the sky, a quiet appreciation flickering across her expression. It made him smile, realizing that she seemed to enjoy the stars as much as he did.

Then she turned toward him, meeting his gaze with those thoughtful eyes before bowing. His breath caught for a second, a flicker of surprise passing through him before a chuckle escaped. “Hyunjung, you’re being too formal again.” His fingers found her arm, a light but insistent touch, guiding her back to standing upright. There was no need for such formalities between them and he wanted her to know that. “I guess we should be thankful for trusting each other, then?” he mused, tilting his head slightly. If they weren’t careful, this could turn into a back and forth of gratitude, neither of them willing to accept the last word. Before that could happen, Kang gently took hold of her wrist, his fingers pressing lightly over the fabric of her jacket.

“Come… the ground’s a bit uneven here.” His tone was calm, reassuring, as he guided her toward a different path, one that veered off the main trail and led them deeper into the forest. His grip wasn’t forceful, just steady, a quiet offer of support if she needed it. And not long after, they emerged into a small clearing. The trees around them stretched high, their branches forming a natural frame for the vast night sky above. Here, away from the city lights, the stars burned brighter, their vibrant glow unhindered by the haze of civilization.

Kang let go of her wrist as he stepped forward, his gaze lifting. A quiet smile spread across his face. “Beautiful, right?” His voice was soft, almost reverent. His eyes shifted toward her then, catching how the soft glow of the moon and stars framed her features in a way that felt almost ethereal.

Kang’s lips parted as if to say something, but he hesitated, catching himself at the last moment. His teeth grazed his lower lip in thought before he spoke instead. “Shall we sit?” he offered, his tone light yet inviting. He moved toward a comfortable spot in the clearing where the grassy incline would provide a natural support for their backs. Setting his bag aside, he lowered himself to the ground first, then, without a second thought, extended a hand toward her, a steady offer of support if she joins him.

@❀┊jiang xiao ᵒ ¹⁹⁰¹²⁵ Soohyuk let out a long, deep sigh of relief as he tightened the straps on his bag, the weight of the week spent in isolation beginning to lift from his shoulders. The rut was always a challenge, but he had learned to manage it by retreating deep into the forest. It was safer this way after all. As he dismantled his camp, his movements were almost meditative, each task a step closer to rejoining the world. With his tent folded and supplies packed, he hoisted his bag onto his back and began to navigate his way to the main trail. Or at least, that was the plan.

Somehow, despite his confidence in knowing these woods, he found himself wandering deeper into the forest instead. His steps slowed as the dense greenery gave way to a clearing, and there, standing quietly amidst the trees was a cabin. Soohyuk stopped in his tracks, his brow furrowing in surprise. It was charming in an old, almost storybook kind of way, its structure sturdy yet inviting, with windows glowing softly even in the daylight. What puzzled him more was how well kept everything looked. The ground was clean, and the plants around it were neatly arranged. Someone definitely lived here, and full time, by the looks of it.

Curiosity tugged at him, and before he realized it, he was climbing the steps to the cabin. His hand hovered over the door for a moment, his mind briefly wondering if this was a good idea. But curiosity won out, and with a firm knock, he rapped on the door, taking a small step back as he waited, not entirely sure what or who to expect.

@☁︎┊lan anatchaya ᵇ TW: Killing, Blood

The scent of smoke and blood filled the air, mingling with the sounds of clashing steel and anguished cries. Fires raged across the Jin clan village, consuming homes and lives alike. Amid the chaos, the Wen clan wolves rampaged, their massive forms tearing through defenses with brutal efficiency. Soohyuk, one of the Wen’s most formidable warriors, stood at the forefront of the carnage in his wolf form, a towering, black furred beast whose fangs and claws dripped with the blood of his enemies. Every strike, every slash, was instinctual and merciless, a testament to his skill and the savagery demanded by his clan. His golden eyes gleamed coldly as he brought down yet another defender. This was war, and he was its most loyal instrument.

But then he reached the far edge of the village.

A faint, trembling voice could be faintly heard. Near the remains of a crumbled wall, a woman crawled toward him, her Jin clan robes torn and smeared with soot and blood. Her hands clutched something small, her wide, tearful eyes locked onto him with a desperation. She mumbled incoherently, words like “child” and “daughter” barely audible through her sobs. Soohyuk’s massive paws halted mere feet away from her. His growl rumbled low, sharp fangs bared as he loomed over her trembling form. She continued to crawl closer, her body quaking with fear but driven by something stronger like hope or perhaps even sheer desperation.

He raised one clawed paw, poised to strike her down. But then he saw it. In her wide, terrified eyes, he caught his reflection. A reflection of a monstrous wolf, his muzzle and chest matted with blood, his dark fur streaked with gore. For a moment, he didn’t see a warrior or a loyal soldier of the Wen. He saw a beast.

@☁︎┊lan miyeon ᵇ tw: mature content, .

the rhythm of miyeon's soft pants and delicate sighs that escaped from her lips reached jennie's ears. her intense lustful gaze fixated on miyeon's parted lips, drinking in the sight of the other begging. a cruel smile etched on jennie's lips as she wasn't going to give in to her begging. until she felt the supple thighs of the other trapping her wrist from moving and release her tension by grinding against jennie's fingers, it seemed someone was begging for a release but jennie wasn't going to entertain that as her wicked self wanted to play more. "looks like someone is so needy, hmm princess?" she drawled, the corner of her lips tugged into a lazy smirk.

just as jennie wanted to edge the beta for more, she caught a whiff of a sweet flowery scent coming from the beta. miyeon's pheromones, thick and intoxicating. she leaned in with a smile, a slow, predatory curve of her lips as she greedily took in the scent of lily and lilac. lips brushing against the tip of the beta's ear. "you smell incredible," jennie whispered, her voice thick with desire. she was so determined to make the other scream her name out loud in the wild. caressing her outer lips softly before plunging the two fingers of hers into miyeon's warm tight cavern, filling the beta deep to the knuckle. the walls around her digits felt so warm, even tight around her and began to inside the cavern at a quickened pace.

the alpha didn't know how her sweet friend could get out from her tight grip, perhaps she was distracting her on purpose with the pheromones. 'sneaky move', the wen alpha narrowed her eyes. a low growl rumbled in her chest, vibrating through her teeth as she bit down hard on miyeon's lip, with intention to draw another moan from the other as jennie claimed her in a hot searing kiss. soft breathes exchanged between both of them, clumsy touches around her warm toned body. she was eager to feel the other's warmth against hers as she crooked her fingers and pumped them in and out, the wetness trickled down her wrist. jennie took the other's wrist in her grasp when she felt miyeon palming her , feeling her sopping wet womanhood in her palm. "now now, bad girl. you should let me taste you first or i shall stop you and leave you in the open without anything to make you ." to make her point, she halted her actions on purpose and let her fingers trailing up to rub her delicious twitching oris in slow circular motions.

her hungry eyes devoured miyeon's voluptuous curves. watching her moved her hips to grind her core against jennie's fingers. all while undressing herself, ridding of her pretty little dress. unable to resist herself from the intense lust, the alpha took off her oversized jacket, revealing a white fitted crop top that showcased her toned abdomen with effortless grace then hurled the jacket to the ground before she pinned the other beneath her with a fierce intensity. "you look better when you wear nothing. look so pretty under me." jennie hoisted the beta's legs up with both arms and dragged her closer, three fingers of hers relentlessly forcing their way past the wet fleshy rim and into the tighthole without giving the other a chance for adjustment and rapidly pumped her digits in and out with her palm rubbing up against the other's bundle of nerves. "your is my fingers so good, baby girl. much better than the other girl earlier." she watched how her juices coating her fingers wet and smoothly diving into the warm cavern without much difficulty, the alpha dripped a mouthful of drool on the already glistening for more lubrication, it mingled with the lewd essence messily. the sight of it made her more aroused.

@☼┊wen jennie ᵃ [] tw: mature content, heave ahead

Miyeon was taken back by Jennie’s words when she teased and tortured her, panting softly as she was against the tree this time when the alpha pinned her with their strength. “P... please give me, I want you so ing bad right now...” She didn’t care about anyone’s gaze when she felt her body getting weaker by her friend’s touches, she moved closer as she tried to kiss Jennie when she was in paradise as two fingers of the young alpha began touching her . Miyeon couldn’t help herself as she slowly moans under her breathes while being touched by Jennie, the pleasure she felt that was given by the alpha made her squeeze both of her thighs together as she slowly rolls her hips at the same pace as the other’s fingers.

She looked at Jennie as she tries to fight back and take control once more, but the young alpha just had too much strength than she was. The touches from the alpha on her lips, Jennie know exactly what miyeon wants and use them against her. “Give it to me... I need you right now...” She mumbled under her breath as she looks at the young alpha in front of her, trying her best to have her needs and desires for the most part.

Miyeon looked at the surrounding as she broke Jennie’s grips on her wrist as she wrapped both of her arms around the other’s waist, pulling her friend closer to herself for a passionate and deep kiss. “You really have no idea how much I have been waiting for to do something like this, Jennie!!” The alpha’s fingers were still against her lips when they deepen the kiss, feeling her own pheromones leaking more and more as time went on she couldn’t resist her need anymore. The young beta began touching Jennie’s body as well, from her neck all the way to her clothed with her palm rubbing it slowly. “Guess I’m not the only one who is wet, huh?” Miyeon friend who done the same to her just few moments ago as she began rubbing the other’s in between her fingers, waiting to see Jennie’s reaction from her touches while she could feel the pleasure that was given by the wen alpha building up slowly through her body.

Not caring anything that was happening around them, Miyeon slowly grinds against Jennie’s fingers while taking off her dress to reveal her little surprised that she prepared for Jennie. A smirk on the beta’s face as she looked at the Wen alpha, Miyeon whispered softly against her friend’s ear. “Do you like my little gift I prepared just for you, baby?” She spoke with a softly yet seductive voice while her hand continued to touch Jennie’s body.

@☁︎┊lan miyeon ᵇ tw: mature content, .

boredom gnawed at jennie. she valued her studies, but she also craved excitement, a certain kind of thrill. it wasn't just any kind of fun she was after; it was the kind that involved a physical, intimate connection with others, the kind that blurred the lines, a kind of fun that involved ual pleasure. she texted some people whoever were available at the time, they responded back right away but one caught jennie's attention right after jennie sent a text to a girl that she occasionally ed. a certain younger beta, lan miyeon.

a wicked smirk curved upon her lips as she, too, sent a text to miyeon. 'i'm , meet me in the middle of the forest. wear a pretty dress for me.' a knock on the door, indicating she had a guest coming over to her room but knowing her 'friend' just lived across her room, of course she would come over and had a quickie first. their scents mingled. curves right under dining table's light, casted a soft glow on her body as jennie devoured her like it was her meal. yet jennie craved for something bold. something that was out in the open air.

right before her as the wen alpha felt the walls tighten around her wicked tongue, she pulled out and tugged the female omega up. "i have an idea, let's in the forest. it was too warm in here." with still quivering unstable legs, jennie didn't care and just pulled the poor omega along under her harsh grip until they were out in the forest. the heart of the forest.

lips clashing upon each other once again, a naughty hand of hers slid into the omega's bare wet core, pushing fingers in and ed her brains out. loud moans and wet sloshing sounds could be heard far away. a familiar voice interrupted their fun, jennie, with a blurry yet aroused mind, didn't really care of what happened but her fingers were not inside that tight anymore and a pair of soft lips crashed on hers. a different scent. inhaling the lan beta's scent, made her came back to reality and reciprocated the messy lip locking right away. sharp canine teeth grazed upon miyeon's plump lower tier. with a wicked chuckle that twisted her lips into a cruel smile, she revealed her previous escapade to the lan beta, "you weren't fast enough. she was quicker than you. i even already tasted her , it was so sweet. you could even taste her in my mouth if you notice it in the first place, doll. sweet, isn't she?" she slipped her tongue past the other's rosy brims on purpose as she taunted the female beta. anger and jealousy looked so good on her soft features. jennie liked seeing it so much.

with a greater strength and dominant nature of hers, jennie flipped their position and pinned miyeon's delicate wrists above her head on purpose. watching the other squirm under her touch and begging for her fingers and tongue like there's no tomorrow were the favorite things to see. "beg for more, miyeon. i know you could do more than that." the young alpha crept two fingers past the beautiful dress, past the lacy undies of hers to directly caress her bare with utmost softness and coat her digits in the wetness, her oh so sweet juices as she only let her fingers fondle her lips.

It was a bit cold outside for Miyeon since she like warm weather and sunny sky, but she got to do what had to be done. She was in the bathroom getting ready to meet Jennie because they wanted to see each other in the forest for some fun, it had been so long since Miyeon had done anything like that. Hearing her phone ringing on the night stand as she rushed to check who was it, a big smile formed across her lips when she saw the text from Jennie that she was about to go out. She went back to the bathroom to make sure her makeup and her outfit was perfect for this little fun and wild date together, the Lan beta was about to head out when she remembered that she wanted to give her friend a little surprise as she grabbed something that could spiced up the fun between them.

Now Miyeon finally headed out of the door as she walked towards the forest that was just outside of the academy, holding her jacket close to her body as the wind slowly blow passed by her. She could see her breath whenever she breathed out, looking around the street as she walked pass other students and staffs in the campus before exited the premises. The young beta looked at her phone as she checked the time to made sure she won’t be late for the fun, feeling of excitement filled up her heart and mind with her happy steps.

Soon arrived at the forest as she looks for Jennie, Miyeon walked slowly toward the center of the forest in search of her friend when she spotted two people having fun against one of the trees in the middle of the forest. The sight in front of her sent shock waves in to her body as she realized that one of them was Jennie, she was taken back when she walked closer toward the two girls. Anger and disappointment in Miyeon’s eyes couldn’t compare what she was feeling at the moment. She walked up to the both of them as she took a long and deep breath before raising her voice towards Jennie.” What is this, I thought it would just be the two of us!!!!” The anger in her voice was echoing around them, she pointed her finger at the other girl.” I was going to give you a surprise.... How could you do this to me...” She took off her jacket as she revealed what was underneath, a beautiful dress that she brought not too long ago that perfectly cupped her curvy body. “I have been waiting for this moment for a long time, you are going to get what is coming for you.” Miyeon walked closer to the both of them, looking at the other girl she didn’t know who before pushing her way. “Leave now, me and Jennie have some things to take care of.” She stares at Jennie with anger, watching the other girl running away scared into the distance as she turned back her attention to Jennie. “I hope you can handle what is coming for you because I’m really mad, I really thought it was just the two of us... I even made sure that I was fast enough to get here, so we could have more time together to have fun.”

Miyeon pushed Jennie against the tree behind her gently, trapping the wen alpha in her arms as she forcedly kissed on the other’s lips. "I... I want you so bad right now, even when I’m this angry at what you just did...” Continuing to kiss her friend as her one of her arms slowly wrapped around Jennie’s waist to pull her closer to her, giving her more access to the alpha’s body.” Please, touch me... I want you, I need you... “

his fingers trailed up to her back, brushing her nape before tangling in her hair, pulling her head gently but firmly to expose her neck. his lips grazed her skin there. "another alpha touching you?" the thought alone sent a dangerous surge of possessiveness through him. his teeth grazing the sensitive juncture of her neck, taking a soft bites on her skin — making a new marks on it.

minjeong stares at the carnage right in front of her— the adrenaline seeping out of her pores until there's nothing left is a girl shaking in exhaustion. she feels her joints ache as her knees buckle and give in, the wet patch of grass beneath her squealing and dirtying her once-pristine skirt. she feels the sting of her bruises, a large gash running from the outside of her left thigh down to the bend of her knee. while she's thankful that it wasn't deep, it still bled to the point that her sock was partially soaked, scarlet branches marring her pale skin.

she turns her head up when she notices his shoes in her peripheral. and, suddenly, she remembers her predicament. she'd been trying to hide. a beast had ran after her when he got a whiff of her scent. professor wonwoo, by some miracle, had come to her aide, killing the creature without breaking a sweat. she'd fawn over this if it were from a fairytale, but finding him there— enticed by the scent of her heat— was nothing short of horror. she's supposed to be left alone, now, she owed him her life. they've barely spoken a word to each other. “thank you, professor wen...” she says with much difficulty, his presence weighing down on her like a warm blanket. “i should be fine now.”

@☁︎┊lan jisoo ᵃ The fluid motions that surpassed her little body as he uttered such words, so dark, so deep, so spiteful. Yet, even if she was to be warned that she's that one moth, getting too close to the flame, sana would dare not abandon the flame. She'd happily be burnt in the process. Perhaps she liked the possessive nature her lover gave off, it made her feel wanted, desired and attractive in ways that no one ever made her felt before. Heck— sana never had any type of intimate relationship before Jisoo. So being like this with him was enough to set her body ablaze and she reacted oh so well.

Her scent lingers in the air— coconut and strawberry permeating the area the two are standing at as she leans into the touches. Breath coming out short, ragged as her body molds against his and a soft sound emits as a another deep exhale is given. "I won't dare forget that. It's.... embedded in my brain by now that you would do just about anything to make me yours. Be yours. I'm your omega, professor jisoo."

Hee words are meant to be soft, sweet, cajoling and even innocent yet— something about the alpha's possessive and jealous nature awoke that primal and raw desire in the omega to test him, test his limits and pay the consequences. Sana was never the type to break any rules but here she was, ing her professor and also wanting to make him awfully jealous that he'd snap and possibly snap her too.

The thought arouses her as coconut deliciously fills the air and she breathlessly emits a moan as a slender hand travels down his chest. "Are you going to show your parents that I belong to you and that you want no other omega, but me? Is that what you'd be doing soo?" She mumbles softly, her fingernails digging into his toned skin and creating pink lines as her hooded eyes meet his and sana needed it as she leans in to capture his lips and whimpers his name as if it's her dying breath. "Would you be mad if another alpha touched me jisoo? If so... shouldn't you mark what's yours?" She asks hotly, nibbling his lower brim and it in as her dark orbs flash a soft blue but holding that fire in them without a doubt.

@☁︎┊lan sana ᵒ jisoo's breath hitched as his sharp gaze locking onto hers as she spoke. he brushed a stray strand of hair from her beautiful face, his fingertips lingered against her rosy cheek as his lips curved into a smirk. "honey, you're really playing a dangerous game saying things like that you know — hunting you down, tracking you. " his tones somehow dropped into a low one. "you don't know what that does to me, hm? the thrill of the chase, and the thought of catching you down, proving to you again and again, that you're mine is intriguing."

he paused as his nose brushing against hers, inhaling her scents as it stirred something primal within him. "yeah, you're mine. my omega, my everything and you're right — you've never gone back on your worrs. but don't even think for a second that I'd ever let you." his hands slid down her sides, firm and possessive, pulling her closer to his solid figure.

jisoo's lips found hers, claiming them with passionate kiss. whe he pulled away briefly to speak, his eyes met with hers in admiration. "you really got me wrapped around your finger, honey. just don't forget — I'd burn the world down for you. there's no game where i wouldn't win, especially when it comes to you. even if i had to fight my own family for us, i would. I'm not even playing this time."

@❀┊jiang xiao ᵒ at the mention of a photo, liebing hesitated. it wasn’t something he’d usually agree to - posing, being remembered - but this felt different. these people had taken him in when he was broken, nursed him back to health without asking for anything in return. his gaze drifted from the eager little boy to xiao, her smile warm enough to melt even the iciest corners of his heart. for a fleeting moment, his resolve wavered, and with a quiet nod, he agreed.

he stood stiffly in place, waiting for them to settle beside him, the little boy grinning widely while xiao’s delicate hand rested reassuringly on his fur. they took several photos, laughter filling the air as the camera clicked. liebing couldn't take a photograph home with him - not with his transient, uncertain existence - but the memory would stay etched in his mind like a permanent mark. he vowed silently to repay their kindness, his thoughts already turning to sehun. the man had means, and liebing knew he could ensure this family never wanted for anything again.

xiao’s parting words made his chest tighten.' you can always come back. ' the sentiment hit deeper than he expected. a place to return to, even if gusu lan turned its back on him, even if the world rejected him - here, in this modest cabin, was a warmth he hadn’t felt in years.

standing in the doorway, liebing allowed xiao one last touch, her small hand brushing against his fur before he her cheek in farewell. the little boy giggled as liebing nuzzled his face gently. it was a bittersweet moment, the kind that stings and soothes at the same time. with a final glance at the home that had offered him sanctuary, liebing stepped into the cold, the snowy wind wrapping around him as he disappeared into the forest.

when winter finally loosened its grip and the snow gave way to blooming wildflowers, a gift arrived at the family’s doorstep. a heavy basket brimmed with money, enough to sustain them for years, along with bags and boxes of food and supplements to carry them through the seasons. sehun had kept liebing’s promise - though he was a runaway, his wealthy roots ran deep, and this was a small token for the people who had saved him and his companion.

standing at the edge of the forest, liebing watched from a distance as the family discovered the gifts. their joy was evident even from far away. liebing felt a rare, unfamiliar warmth spread through him. a faint smile curled his lips as he turned away, the sun casting long shadows through the trees.

he would never forget this place, or the kindness that bloomed here like spring’s first flowers. and one day, perhaps, he would return - not out of obligation, but because a part of him had already begun to think of it as home.

/ THE END./

@❀┊jiang wonbin ᵒ – ❛ ᴛᴡ: ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ, ʙᴜʟʟʏɪɴɢ.

younghoon wasn’t a fighter - he hated violence with every fiber of his being. but even as his principles screamed at him to walk away, he couldn’t ignore the sight of wonbin, someone he might dare to call a friend, being cornered by four aggressors. the logical part of him knew this was a fight he couldn’t win. four against one. he was no match. he could call on his wolf, xuan, but that came with its own risks - risks he couldn’t afford to take.

so he endured.

the second punch drove the air from his lungs, and the third made his knees buckle. younghoon didn’t fight back, his body absorbing the blows like a shield for wonbin, buying the other precious seconds to flee. through his blurry vision, he barely registered wonbin’s retreating silhouette, sprinting toward the academy. relief swelled in his chest, even as he hit the ground hard.

he’ll be safe. that’s what matters.

but his wolf, xuan, had other plans. xuan had always been different - a blind wolf with heightened senses that rivaled sight itself. the connection between man and beast had always been tenuous, but right now, xuan was livid. he could feel his host’s pain, the sting of humiliation, the ache of betrayal against his alpha pride. he could also smell the fear radiating from the bullies, their arrogance a thin veneer hiding cowardice.

younghoon gritted his teeth as the shift began, bones cracking and skin rippling as fur erupted over his form. the pain was sharp but fleeting, replaced by a surge of primal power. where a battered younghoon had stood moments ago, now stood xuan - a magnificent wolf, his coat a patchwork of white and gray, his blind eyes glowing faintly.

a guttural growl rumbled from deep in his chest, reverberating through the clearing. the bullies froze, their bravado evaporating as fear seeped into their expressions. xuan advanced a step, his sharp teeth bared and his tail lashing like a whip. his mere presence sent the aggressors stumbling back, their courage unraveling.

then he sensed it - wonbin’s scent approaching again, sharp and unmistakable. a low whine of frustration escaped xuan’s throat, his protective instincts flaring. he moved to shield wonbin as the other boy arrived, placing himself squarely between the bullies and the approaching figure.

@☁︎┊lan sehun ᵃ Xiao being the person she is, doesn’t at all mind sharing what she has with her wolf friend. She believed in cooking for everyone even if it is an animal-a well behaved one at that. It was something that her mothers taught her- food is meant to be shared. Xiao couldn’t help the laughter that escaped her lips upon hearing the growl.

The young teen watched in pure shock and awe seeing Liebing somehow picking up his cup. She didn’t know wolf could even do this-at this time it still hasn’t clicked in her mind that this was someone who shifted into a wolf. She debated if she should turn off the video camera for a moment; however, she decided against it. Xiao instead went to get her camera before sitting back down. “Would you mind if I take a picture of us for my photo album?” She asked knowing it was ironic to ask now when she’s already recording, but if the answer is yes then she took the picture if it’s a no then she would just turn off the video camera and delete what she had recorded of Liebing.

“It looks like you’re doing much better which is a great thing you are free to go at any time. I’m not kicking you out, but if you do stay you should know I’m leaving in the next couple days because of school.” She started to think. “I could always try to get more food for you, or you can go hunting on your own. As for where you can stay, I can let you stay inside so you don’t freeze. The door to the back is a sliding door making it easier for you to come in and out.”

She then began to eat all while keeping an eye on Liebing one to make sure he was really healing up as much as it seems, and two to refill his bowl/plate once he was done. “Come to think of it can you even understand anything I just said.” She questions more to herself this time. “Oh, well either way I just must trust in my gut feeling, and it’s saying you can.”

The young teen also finishes before patting the wolf on his head. “No matter what happens I would never forget about you.” She said before she puts everything in the sink. She hummed as she started to wash the mountain of dishes.

@❀┊jiang younghoon ᵃ Wonbin was doing everything possible to stand his ground. He was bleeding from his nose but he was too afraid to move to do anything about it. He didn't want them to think his movements were a threat to them. Another scent caught his attention, making his head turn. His jaw dropped as he watch Younghoon sprint forward, punching an alpha in the face. "Y-Younghoon!" He gasped loudly. He his heel, sprinting away to find help for hima nd his friend. He started yelling for help as he got closer to campus. Eventually finding two teacher to come with him. "Please. They're going to hurt him!" Wonbin's panic was evident as he ran back to where Younghoon and the Alphas should be, two teachers in tow. "Younghoon?! Are you okay?!" He ran to his friend, horrified that they'd really hurt him.

@❀┊jiang xiao ᵒ liebing hadn’t noticed when xiao snuck off with the camera, capturing fleeting moments of their shared time. he didn’t care. all that mattered was the boy nestled in his arms, the warmth of his embrace soothing the restless beast within. but just as quickly as the comfort arrived, it slipped away. the boy let go, leaving liebing alone once more, the emptiness around him all too familiar.

a tantalizing aroma cut through the cool air, pulling him from his thoughts. it was food, rich and inviting, and his stomach betrayed him with a loud growl. embarrassment flared, and he silently scolded himself. he had already taken so much from these kind strangers - would he now devour their provisions too?

still, when the younger girl offered him water with a bright smile, liebing accepted it gratefully, his rugged hands cradling the cup as if it were something precious. her small gestures of hospitality touched him deeply, though he struggled to express his gratitude in words.

his body, once battered and broken, felt whole again. strength coursed through his veins, and his keen ears perked at the mention of his pack. gusu lan. the name brought a storm of memories, each more bitter than the last. he had no place there anymore - not after what had happened with sehun’s father. it wasn’t just his exile that kept him away but a deep-rooted instinct to shield these kind souls from the danger that shadowed his past.

quietly, almost as if apologizing for his presence, liebing began to eat. each bite felt like a stolen luxury, yet his gaze drifted now and then to the smaller boy and the girl. their voices, their laughter - it warmed something deep inside him, a place he thought had gone cold long ago.

he vowed silently to remember them, their kindness etched into his heart. as the wolf finished his meal and prepared to leave without a word, he knew this moment would stay with him forever - a glimmer of light in a life so often cast in shadow.

@☁︎┊lan sehun ᵃ Xiao could only watch in complete and pure shock seeing what had happened. She knew her wolf friend wouldn't hurt her precious sibling(s). She quietly went to her room to grab both her camera and video camera before coming back to take a few pictures. She then switches to her video camera recording the moment. It was only a couple minutes later that she remembered breakfast and quickly put the video camera on a stand leaving it recording.

She normally would never allow anyone to eat on the floor; however, seeing them she made the rare exception. She went back to the table putting some food on the plate and pouring juice before somehow managing to pass to over to her brother. She then went to find the biggest plate she have repeatedly her actions only this time filling up the biggest bowl she have with water. She placed both in front of Liebing so he can eat.

She doesn’t get her own plate quite yet as she instead checked on Liebing. She took her time making sure everything was healing up properly. It was only then that she made herself a plate joining the two on the floor to eat. “Hoony.” She said as soon as she sat down. “This is our new friend. I found him injured last night. He’s staying as long as he need to heal up, but after that we have to let him go find his pack. They must be missing him.”

@❀┊jiang wonbin ᵒ the library had always been their sanctuary. younghoon loved the quiet hum of the space, even if it clashed with his natural, talkative energy. wonbin, the reserved one, often found comfort in younghoon’s lively chatter. it was an odd pairing, a vibrant extrovert and a shy introvert, but somehow, their differences meshed perfectly. they spent countless hours together, poring over books and exchanging stories. younghoon’s enthusiasm made studying feel less tedious.

the plan to explore the forest came naturally to them. both shared a fascination with rare flora, and the elusive moss species said to thrive in blizzard conditions was too tempting an adventure to pass up. they had prepared carefully - thick coats, sturdy boots, and bags to carry their finds. younghoon had even brought a small shovel for the frost-covered ground.

as heneared their meeting point in the snow-dusted woods, younghoon felt something. a scent in the air. blood. His senses sharpened instantly, and he dropped his shovel with a clatter. panic surged through him. wonbin.

' I hope you’re okay, 'he murmured under his breath, heart racing as he sprinted toward the source of the smell.
breaking through the trees, he froze at the sight before him. a group of alphas surrounded wonbin, their sneers cruel and voices loud with jeers. wonbin stood defensively, trying to shrink into himself, but it was clear the bullies weren’t letting up.

younghoon didn’t think. his body moved on instinct. he charged forward, swinging his fist at the nearest alpha with all the strength he could muster. the satisfying crunch of impact came with a searing pain shooting through his knuckles. ' let him go!' he yelled, his voice cracking with both fury and fear.

but he wasn’t built for fights. younghoon had always been on the receiving end of bullying, his lanky frame no match for their strength. before he could land another blow, one of the alphas grabbed his arms and twisted them behind his back. another stepped forward and slammed a fist into younghoon’s stomach, knocking the wind out of him.

' run! ' he wheezed, turning his head toward wonbin even as another punch sent him reeling. blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and his knees buckled under the assault. ' run, damn it! ' he shouted again, his voice raw with desperation. he met wonbin’s wide, terrified eyes and forced a pained smile, trying to look braver than he felt. ' go find help. I’ll be fine. '

the alphas laughed, their taunts blending with the sound of younghoon’s coughing.

@☁︎┊lan dylan ᵃ "wait - you were asking that seriously just now? i mean- it isn't like i'd even say no and not say yes, or jump at the opportunity to be yours fully, mate, wife, everything. I'm already yours anyways." sana whispers into the softness in the air, her voice being more soothing and gentle as well. eyes lighting up as she flashes a soft smile when the male tenderly touches her, brushing back her hair and she breathes out softly. "you're so perfect, I swear. but yet, that does makes me scared thinking that but also... oddly intrigued?"

her lips, the girl leans back against the huge oak tree, a hint of a smile on rosy pillowy brims as her eyes scan his features and she settle onto the man's lips with a soft grin. "makes me also a bit... just thinking that you'd be hunting me down and tracking me down - knowing you'd be catching me in no time, too you know? make a game out of it maybe." she muses thoughtfully, flushing at her own impulsive, lewd thought before glancing off to the side and nodding her head firmly.

"you're my one and only, now and forever, dylan." the girl dropped the formalities, at least between the two of them, she didn't have to call him 'sir' or 'professor,' sometimes it tends to slip but not in this moment as her eyes soften a little and she chuckles a bit. "I am promising you, I am not going to go back on my words, have I ever went back on my word anytime, mister lan?"

this time, her voice is a bit teasing, playful even as she jests, her fingers tangling into the man's shirt and she reels him in. basking at the sweet confession whispers as she leans into him fully. body pressed right up against his - soft against hard as she smiles against his lips. "i don't want to, only for if it's a game," the young omega purrs out against his brims, kissing back just as feverntly, her eyes slipped shut as her fingers inch higher to rest against his neck, caressing and touching as she moans softly from the delectable scent of jasmine from her alpha flooding her senses. causing her body to come alive as her own hints of coconut pie from being into the moment of the liplock added with a tinge of strawberry lipgloss in the mix.

@☁︎┊lan sana ᵒ dylan tilts his head, watching her with a warmth he rarely allowed himself to show but only to her. "honey. i was meant to ask that seriously but i guess I'll have to wait until you fully graduate first — so i can finally have you as my wife and doing the mating ritual with you when the right time comes."

his hand rises as he brushes a strand of her hair behind her ear, lingering just long enough to feel her skin beneath his fingertips. "but honestly you're right, i would find you — no o matter where you went. there's no place far enough to keep me from you and you know that better. " he said with the faintest hint of a smirk tugs at his lips. "one and only hm?" he whispers, those words wrapping around them like a vow and dylan couldn't be more thankful.

"you do realize when you say things like that, it become promis and i am not the kind of man who lets promises slips through my fingers, so I'm going to watch you and reprimand yourself if you ever forgot that."

his forehead brushing against her own as if grounding himself in her presence. " i missed you too. " his hands settle at her waist pulling her even closer right now. "you're mine, and there's no running away from me. " he closed the distance as he returned the favor of the kisses with tenderness, the kisses deepens slowly.

@❀┊jiang younghoon ᵃ Wonbin was standing silently as some random Wen alpha was berating him. He never was one for confrontation and he rarely spoke as it was. He inhaled sharply, listening to the Wen screaming at him. "What did I ever do to you?" He asked, his voice quiet. "I'm just here... Existing... With my book..." He held the book up, flinching when the Wen knocked it from his hand. "Please... Just leave me be..." Then he heard that phrase... The one he thought he'd never have to hear again. Omegas should be seen and not heard. Wonbin shut down at that moment. Flashes of his childhood shooting through his mind.

@❀┊jiang xiao ᵒ the fire had dwindled to embers by the time dawn broke, casting a warm glow over the cozy cabin. liebing, the proud wolf, had slept soundly through the night, soothed by the soft crackle of the fire and the rhythmic tapping of snowflakes against the window. his once-bloody paws were healed, leaving no trace of the battle that had brought him to this sanctuary. his coat shone with strength, his stature once again commanding the presence of a true alpha.

morning came quietly, but the tranquility was shattered by a high-pitched scream. liebing's ears twitched, and his blue eyes cracked open just enough to glimpse a small, wide-eyed boy standing frozen in the doorway, his gaze locked onto the massive wolf. the boy couldn't have been more than six or seven, his expression teetering between awe and terror.

with a slow, deliberate stretch, liebing rose to his full height, yawning deeply to reveal his gleaming white fangs. his posture was relaxed, his head tilting slightly to the side as if to say, what’s the matter, little one? he knew that his imposing size might intimidate the boy, but there was no hostility in his movements. he needed to show that he meant no harm.

the boy didn’t move, his small frame rigid with apprehension. liebing took a tentative step forward, lowering his massive head to appear less threatening. when that didn’t work, he tried something else - a gesture he hoped would bridge the gap. with a low rumble, almost like a purr, he leaned forward and gave the boy’s cheek a single, warm .

the effect was immediate. the boy's initial shock melted into delighted giggles, his small hands instinctively reaching out to touch the soft fur of the wolf’s face. liebng’s tail wagged slowly, his golden eyes softening as he sat back on his haunches, letting the boy explore.

liebing gave a small huff, as if to say, told you I’m no harm, before lying down again, his massive body curling protectively around the boy. it seemed that in this moment, he wasn’t just a wolf or an alpha - he was a guardian, a silent promise of safety amidst the chaos of the world outside.

@☁︎┊lan sehun ᵃ The night for once was peaceful as she was able to sleep without waking up once throughout the night. It was not a normal thing for her since losing both of her mothers. She usually wakes up at least a few times having a hard time getting back to sleep every time. It could be because at least for now she had the comfort, and safety of her new found friend.

It was early in the morning when Xiao yawned rubbing her eyes as she slowly sat up in a daze. The young teen moves out of pure habit still being mostly asleep. She folded up her blanket then went to the bathroom to wash up. She came out with her hair in a ponytail before taking out what she needed for breakfast starting to make jianbing, and congee. When it was done, she put everything on the table before taking out a couple different drinks- water, juice, and newly brewed hot tea.

It was only then she wobbles her way towards her brother’s room getting him to wake up. “Good morning Hoony. It’s time to get up breakfast is ready.” She folded up his blanket as he washed up. It was only after he finished that they both walk back to the table when she heard her sweet adorable brother let out one of the biggest screams, she ever heard from him. “Who is that?” She heard her asked pointing towards the table.
