Chapter 25
Three months later... BANG!
A loud gun shot sent the birds into flight and broke the entire silence of the forest.
Hyeop ran out of the village, panting and whimpering, tears running down his face as the snow flakes poured on him, sobbing as the silver chains around his ankles burned him, the pain is too much as he run.
His wings just shifted back inside his back when he got into the trap that the other packs placed. He cursed under his breath while running as fast as he possibly could, just trying to be free.
He got to the cold river, hearing the other packs roared behind, knowing full well they had their canines and deadly claws ready.
He screamed and fell down a snowy ditch, sobbing and shaking. He scrambled to get up, he couldn't stop.
When he got to the other side of the ditch, he was scratched in the leg, screaming out in agony. He scrambled away, trying his best to run, whimpering and whining the whole time.
He didn't know that it was necessity to cross other wolve's territories to get in and ask. He'd been out in the cold winter to find his mate after leaving him to find food and water then never came back until night, and the next morning. If he just knew then he would've been fully prepared for defense. Now he know that every winter, wolf packs prepare for an attack. They secure their food and territories pretty well. And Hyeop being clueless about werewolves' life cycle; trespass in the packs of Therianthrope territory to ask, and after smelling him as human they all chased them except the omegas who always left alone to guard their little pups. And now he should be prepared for the worst. Hunger is a common issue in winter. And going to the village is rather hard because of the snow and the fog, it's better to sneak and steal the prey of other neighboring packs which Jeongsun did when they began living on their own as a couple.
Hyeop did not stop running after he finally lost them, stopping in the icy river, he sat on the rocks, panting hard while checking on his jeans that have blood gushing out of his wounded skin. He checked his wounds and tore his button-up shirt before wrapping it around his wounds.
***
Ice-cold wind caressed his silver fur as he sprinted past the meadow, his heart painfully hammering in his chest. A trail of blood followed him as he ran that leaking out of his paws and claws from fighting his enemies earlier, he didn't know, but still he willed his wolf to run faster.
He was desperate to see his gloat that was surely waiting for him right past the clearing. He had promised to come back before nightfall but it was already one day since then and he was sure that his gloat is hungry right now, very. After their run away three months ago, they've became close and Hyeop was shock to find himself crawling to Jeongsun and the older will wrapped around him. Within months they learned to accept each other and Hyeop finally learned to love Jeongsun, but the desire of being freed from his mate is still there.
Ever since they started living in their little own dwell that made in patchwork woods in the snowy forest in the surrounding dry trees and near the meadow; Jeongsun never allowed him to go outside but still allowed him to run around whenever he settled down after hunting for food, but he had always been within his reach.
He was never allowed to be alone, even if it was to fly in a nearby meadow. Jeongsun would always watch over him.
When the gloat breeding season is now near, it only made the situation worse and his mate became even more overbearing. It brought a bit of desires to him to run until he is far beyond Jeongsun's sight, not being able to have the freedom he so desired to go about his day.
It has even soured his relationship with Jeongsun and getting sick and tired for being watched.
But then, Jeongsun promised him they would travel and explore the world together, to start a family together and no one shall take that away from them. That made their relationship became more better.
Thinking that made Jeongsun want to go where his mate was, ignoring the pain in his paws and claws, he allowed his wolf's instincts to take control and run.
He could only hope the hunters who were determined to get a lycanthrope werewolf had lost track of him.
His legs burned from exertion yet he did not stop for a second.
When he reached the other side of the river, his heart started pounding hard inside as he spotted his mate on the rocks, bleeding out and looked really wounded.
He stood up and ran to his own feet this time, crossing the lake. He shifted back into his human form as he reached his mate.
Hyeopil looked up at him with pain in his emerald eyes. Jeongsun crouched and picked him up.
***
They safely arrived in their tent-looking den that made in patchwork woods. Jeongsun carefully put Hyeop down and let him crawled first before him. When they were inside, the older closed the curtain that was made in patchwork thick furs while Hyeop lay carefully on their bed. The bed was made in leaves and wolf skin from the wolves Jeongsun killed before when they trying to pick a fight on them.
Jeongsun crawled over Hyeop and took off his pants and undergarments, revealing his bloodied tights. Hyeop winced and said, "It sting!"
"Don't worry, I got you," he assured and began shifting into his werewolf form, thankfully the den is not that small.
Jeongsun leaned over the wounds and began licking it that made Hyeop whimper at the warm of his big tongue. He tensed up when Jeongsun grabbed his thighs with his raw beast hands, spreading his tights and licking over the blood. Hyeop stared at the werewolf below him as he remembered that their saliva can heal wounds faster than the gloat's natural way of healing.
Jeongsun shifted back after seeing the wounds fully healed. He looked at his mate and crawled over him.
"Are you alright?" he asked softly and pecked his head.
Hyeop nodded his head and spread his legs more as he felt Jeongsun's arousal, smelling his autumn scent that he beginning to love. The older too can smell his scent of smoke that he was very obsessed of.
Jeongsun removed Hyeop's glasses and let the younger use his cat eye vision. He cupped his face and smiled, remembering the younger's sexual heats that's now occurring and that was the sign of his body ready for reproduction. That typically last 2-6 days.
Gloats mate in early spring or late winter. Right now, it was early spring and he assumed that Hyeop is ready to be mated. He finally breed his mate then he must remember that the gloat is pregnant for 62 to 73 days before giving birth. Imagining having little kits with mixed pups gives Jeongsun a tingle of excitement.
He knew that this day is the day when Hyeop's rut will kick in without triggering it by the smell. So when the hunters catches him, he'll try his best to get away.
Hyeop is ready for breeding and so him too.
But for the older dismay, he can't breed Hyeop not when he hasn't presented yet. His second gender is still unknown and if he is an alpha then, it will be difficult for them to have kits and pups. However, there is even possibility that Hyeop is an omega but he can't be sure. Hyeop is smart and sometimes his scent smelled like a dominant leader.
But for Jeongsun neither Hyeop are, it is fine as long as the younger gloat love him.
Jeongsun flinched when Hyeop began grinding his naked thighs on his.
"I think you're ready for breeding," Jeongsun said making Hyeop froze. Was he? "The spring just started weeks ago and I think this is the season for gloats -- "
"I am ready?" Hyeop's said with his lips turned into a thin line. "I am not yet but my body... not my heart..."
"It's alright baby, I can't breed you yet not until you presented but right now we need to do something with our rut," Jeongsun said softly and leaned over to capture him in a passionate kiss. One hand held him steady while other caressed Hyeop's perfect jawline, a strong thumb rubbing across it as they both breathed hot exhales into each other's mouth.
Hyeop parted his mouth slightly to allow Jeongsun's soft tongue to insert it inside. They was about to do it when they heard a roar coming somewhere in the snowy forest.
The rut faded instantly and Hyeop pushed Jeongsun off of him in shock while the older grabbed the blankets of patchwork furs, wrapped it over Hyeop's body as he hugged his knees.
"It's fine baby, you're safe here," Jeongsun assured and brushed Hyeop's bangs away before kissing his forehead.
"That wolf seemed injured..."
Hyeop jolted in shock once he heard the another whimper from the same wolf and followed by multiple growls. Hyeop suddenly remembered his twin. What if, it was him?
"Can't we save the poor wolf?" asked Hyeop and Jeongsun shook his head, embracing his mate as he nuzzled into his neck.
"It's too dangerous outside."
He heard heavy fast footsteps coming near their den. Hyeop froze and began trembling in fear, staring at the closed blankets. Jeongsun started growling while looking outside, tightening his grip around his mate.
A hand reached over the blanket and Hyeop whimpered, snuggling close to his mate. The hand was like in the lycanthrone with dark brown furs. The hand slowly turning back to normal and when the blankets being slide, they saw a young boy
with wavy golden of hair with blue eyes. His face is soft like Fin and he looks like a foreigner that looks like a girl. In Hyeop conclusion, this guy is an American national with his first year college of age.
He looked up at Jeongsun when he felt his embrace around him slightly loosen. He noticed him staring intently at the guy and the guy stared back too, both shocked.
Hyeop sniffled and he gasped silently after knowing the guy must be an omega and might be Jeongsun's mate. It based on how he can see his mate's fangs and his eyes glowing white.
He felt something tinged in his inside as he thought it and how he can see Jeongsun was trying his best not to tackle the young omega and claim him already. The smell of autumn permeating again from him.

Jeongsun was ready to breed an omega and there's one right in front of them who also releasing pheromones. Hyeop covered his nose when the smell started itching him, eyes turning into cat eyes but it wasn't emerald but orange. The smell is getting awfully sweet and stronger. The two werewolves snapped back to reality when Hyeop started whining while closing his eyes.
"A gloat?" he heard the guy said and he looked at the guy, seeing his eyes widen. "A mixed breed gloat and hawk?"
Hyeop groaned loudly.
"Get out of here now!" Jeongsun instantly said and growled at the omega while spreading his own smell more so Hyeop could only smell was his. But the scent of omega is stronger than alphas.
The guy also beginning nesting their den as his own heat kicking in too.
Hyeop growled loudly, clawing the blanket over him and closing his eyes tight.
"Out!" Jeongsun roared at the omega but it did not move instead he fall on their patchwork skin floor, crawling as his ass beginning leaking wet.
The younger gloat lost his senses as the smell finally provoked his inner beast and erased his whole humanity. He roared and strike at the omega but Jeongsun held him still, placing him between his legs and wrapped his legs and arms around him.
Hyeop started rutting too, mind going utterly blank but for some reason he was mad than aroused. He clawed Jeongsun's arms that was wrapped tightly around his waist and chest.
The young omega crawled until he was face to face with the alpha while Hyeop snarled between them.
"You are my alpha... " The guy said.
That triggered Hyeop and reached over his arm then scratched it with his claws. The guy yelped in pain and pulled back, glaring at the gloat.
Jeongsun have enough, pushed the omega out of the den and dragged Hyeop who was still struggling violently in his arms. The blanket wrapped around Hyeop so his lower part was covered and protected from the cold unlike the two who completely naked.
Hyeop accidentally elbowed Jeongsun. "Please get out," he pleaded with a hiss while still holding his mate still.
Hyeop roared loudly with mixed of the voice of the hawk. The overwhelming scent of the omega somewhat pained his entire lungs as his anger and rut triggered all together. It was hard and painful to breath while he breathing frantically under his nose.
Hyeop bite his mate's arm that it suddenly sting the older. He let go Hyeop with a pained noise. The younger gloat sobs into the snowy cold ground, his hips pushed lower than they should be in his human form.
The guy watched Hyeop with terror as he began crawling towards him. He was fast, incredibly fast than werewolf and the guy found himself being tackled by the mixed breed creature.
The guy quickly transformed into his werewolf form and hit Hyeop with his large hand that sent him into the air and hit the large tree. But Hyeop seemed not hurt at all as he stood up like he wasn't hurt or anything.
The omega growled and stood up, crawling very slowly before attacking the gloat. Before he can even bite the gloat, Jeongsun jumped between them with his wolf form, snarling at the omega.
But Hyeop in his madness, run fast Jeongsun and attacked the omega. He was fast that the omega was caught off guard and received the painful scratch on his face.
Jeongsun howled and run to his mate, turning back into his human form and wrapped his arms over Hyeop's throat and waist. The gloat yelped and whined painfully while frantically gasping, obviously can't breath but his face still furious. Eyes turning into red and red small veins appeared in his sclera.
Hyeop is now painfully mad.
Jeongsun held his waist, keeping his hips elevated up as Hyeop continued to growl and then screamed again, his legs kicking on the snow. Jeongsun gripped him tightly.
The omega watched them in envy before turning away and run with his paws.
Jeongsun sighed when the omega was finally out of sight. But Hyeop was still thrashing violently like he wants to chase the omega and kill him.
He have no choice but dragged him inside their dwell and pinned him down. He embraced his mate and pushed his mate head to his scent gland as he releasing his own scent for him.
He waited until Hyeop calmed down and snuggled close to him while purring. Jeongsun laid beside him and brushed his hair away from his forehead. Hyeop was already sleeping. He smiled and can't contain himself even his inner wolf and cage his mate in his arms, kissing his forehead affectionately.

Hyeop woke up when the dawn sunlight hit his eyes. He blinked a few times and slowly sits up, he groaned when his back beginning to hurt. He tried to remember what happened yesterday. He remembered the foreigner omega that trespassed in their den then... his heart ached when he remembered that omega was Jeongsun's mate. After that, he don't much remember the rest.
Hyeop can't blame the werewolves mating thingy like soulmate and such. But the loneliness won't fade in his heart just thinking that every werewolves hated him like he was some kind of cursed. Maybe being different in the pack is not a good thing. He wondered if there is another like him out there.
Only Jeongsun who accepted him aside his twin. He was the only one who loved him with his whole heart but he have mate. And maybe he have too.
He crawled to the curtain and peeped outside, seeing a deer walking with another deer. Suddenly, he heard a loud cries of hawk like his cry whenever he was in great anger.
Was there another gloat like him? A mixed breed? A gloat and hawk? He wanted to fly to that place but Jeongsun won't allow him. He looked at his mate.
Jeongsun was still sound asleep next to him, he's snoring softly and his dark hair is all fluffed out. He looked adorable. Hyeop couldn't help but bend down and kiss the top of his head.
He grabbed another blanket of furs and put it over Jeongsun. He pet his head, thinking his twin and the faint cry somewhere.
"Hyeopie?" Jeongsun's eyes opened and seemed gleaming. His eyes directly at him and he smiled and Hyeop seemed fascinated by it. His mate looks like a fox than a werewolf and he thought, fox suits the older. For Hyeop, Jeongsun is like a baby who become matured based on how sharp his looks now and really looked innocent but still a baby.
Hyeop smiled. "Morning Jeongie," he greeted, calling his nickname.
Jeongsun smiled even more and held his hand but when he noticed the bite on his arm, he paused to observe it. Hyeop really didn't do much damage. It's just a shallow bite, his body will heal itself by the end of the day probably. "Did I... did I bit you?" Hyeop asked in a whisper, looking down at his arm with guilt.
Jeongsun got up to push Hyeop back to his lay position and pinned him on their bed. He leaned down so they're eye to eye.
"You were so mad yesterday and bit me," he said while still smiling cutely at Hyeop.
"I'm... sorry," he said and looked down on his chest.
Jeongsun hummed and connected their lips, unable to help himself. He is a horny second youngest in their pack, it's just for his whole pack and not just his mate yet.
Hyeop moaned into the kiss, pulling Jeongsun against his chest. The older grin between their connected lips and licked along Hyeop's lower lip and sucked on his tongue. It's a dirty kiss for just waking up for Hyeop but what they can do, they were living in the snowy woods.
Jeongsun broke their kiss and got up before let Hyeop get in his lap and straddled him, his hands tangled in his hair. The alpha can't help himself as he grinds Hyeop down on himself slightly.
Hyeop kissed his jaw and nuzzled against his bite mark. He run his fangs on the soft skin, badly want to suck his mate's blood. He shivered at the thought that he was properly claimed, owned even.
Hyeop suddenly shot up abruptly to the point he almost pushed Jeongsun. He can hear the cry again along with voices from somewhere. Jeongsun watched him before grabbing his chin and forced him to look at him. The gloat gulp upon seeing the white eyes of his mate.
"You're mine Lee Hyeopil and you're focus is on me only," he said intently.
Hyeop struggled away and pushed his mate away before crawling out fast, eyes turned violet this time. His mind was focused on the sound of that cry and completely ignoring Jeongsun.
"Hyeop," said Jeongsun and Hyeop blinked when he felt something wrapped around his ankle. When he looked down, he whimpered, seeing the barbed wires wrapped around his left ankle.
He looked at Jeongsun and saw the hundred of barbed wires behind his head that spread all over the place. He is now completely wearing the same clothes when the time before he claimed him. His whole appearance was like that time.
He looked horrible with dark red shadow around his eyes, skin as white as snow, lips as red as blood, and hair as black as ebony, and blood at the corner of his lips.
"Do not dare to come out unless I want to, come back here inside and I won't be upset as I already getting infuriating by your disrespectful manner." And his way of speaking changed too.
Hyeop gulped and do what he was told. He crawled back inside and let Jeongsun embrace him.
"You are my mate and do what as I say."
Hyeop do not know what kind of creature Jeongsun really was. He is not just a werewolf but more than that.
"If you dare to run away, I will dare to kill your twin," he whispered.
