3C: SPEARMINT
Hyukjae could feel his body was extremely sore and tired even before he opens his eyes. He sat up a little too fast and pain shot through his spine from his abused ass.
He rubbed his eyes and looked around the room. It was very early in the morning and he was alone in their bed. No signs of Donghae. He pouted. First time having his Heat as a married Omega and his husband left as soon as his Heat was done …
The door to their bedroom was pushed from the outside, Donghae came in, he was fully dressed and ready to go.
“Are you leaving, Donghae-ah?” Hyukjae asked, his throat was dry, did he moan and scream that much the whole night?
Donghae handed him a glass of water, “Unfortunately Siwon wanted me to go on a mission with Heechul-hyung and Kyuhyun”.
Hyukjae pouted deeper, “Are you going hunting?”
“No, it’s about the wolves with red eyes”, Donghae said, “Heechul-hyung hadn’t told me the details but it seems serious”.
Hyukjae drank, the water cool on his dry throat.
“I promise I’ll be back soon”, Donghae kissed Hyukjae’s forehead and the tip of his nose, before kissing his plump lips until the pout was gone from Hyukjae’s face, “Umma is coming home soon, just stay in bed for the day, alright?”
“Be careful, Donghae-ah, come home safe”, Hyukjae gave his husband a small kiss.

It took Donghae, Heechul and Kyuhyun a few hours of running in their wolf form before they could reach the outer border of Eclipse Clan. Once they arrived on the edge of the forest, they were met with three wolves from Eclipse Clan.
“My name is Kangin, this is Leeteuk and that’s Henry”, the burly one introduced his companions, “Thank you for joining us, our Leader is worried about the situation”.
Kangin was a strong Alpha, Donghae and Kyuhyun soon learned that he was the current Alpha’s youngest brother. Heechul had met Kangin before, so they exchanged greetings and small talks. Henry seemed young, this was the first time he went out on a mission for his Clan. While Leeteuk was another story.
“You’re … an Omega?” Kyuhyun exclaimed.
“Our Omegas hunt and fight alongside their Alphas”, Kangin said, “And Leeteuk is one of our best hunters”.
“He’s mated to Kangin so you better stop thinking whatever you’re thinking, Kyu”, Heechul teased.
They walked up the hill where the castle was situated. So far they hadn’t seen the wolves with red eyes or anything unusual, the forest was thick and even the hunters didn’t scent anything out of the ordinary.
“Are you mated?” Kangin suddenly asked Donghae, “I can smell an Omega scent on you”.
“Yeah, I am”, Donghae replied.
“I don’t think that your Omega is female”, Kangin guessed.
“No, he’s a male”.
“If you want to know why his Omega is not coming, you must know that Donghae doesn’t allow his Omega to hunt or going out of the village by himself”, Heechul teased the younger Alpha with a grin.
“It’s not like that”, Donghae protested, “I can hunt for him, I don’t want to put him in danger”.
“Your Omega must be very special”, Leeteuk commented with a smile.
“He is … he’s very special”, Donghae agreed. Heechul and Kyuhyun rolled their eyes, knowing what Hyukjae was actually capable of.

Hyukjae could still feel the aftermath of his Heat all day, he winced as he stood up. His body was mending the injuries but some of them needed more time to heal.
“Omo… Hyukkie, why are you up”, his mother was preparing lunch when Hyukjae came out of the bedroom.
“I’m not sick Umma, it was just a Heat”, Hyukjae replied.
Donghae’s mother had prepared a hearty lunch, she even prepared chicken soup with thick broth. She put some on a bowl for Hyukjae.
“Umma, I don’t think I’m pregnant yet”, Hyukjae chuckled.
“Chicken broth is good for stamina and to help you heal”, his mother in law said back, “And you like chicken soup, right?”
They ate lunch together, Hyukjae’s mother in law kept adding meat on Hyukjae’s bowl, giving Hyukjae no chance but to eat.
The small talks slowly turned serious, Donghae’s mother told Hyukjae about her life. She was the late Leader Choi’s sister, Donghae’s father was an Alpha from another Clan, he came to the Blood Moon Clan since he married her. She had another son before she bore Donghae, another Alpha, his name was Donghwa. Like his father, Donghwa was more of a soldier rather than a hunter.
“… ten years a go, there was a war between our Clan and several other Clans, it was a terrible time, we lost many wolves … including my son, he died alongside my husband, protecting Siwon’s father, the Alpha Leader”.
Hyukjae was shocked as he heard the story, he never thought of it, he knew that his mother-in-law always prayed to the Warrior Father, he always thought that she was praying for Donghae’s father, her Alpha and late husband, but Hyukjae never thought that Donghae had a brother.
“Donghae was born eight years after his brother, so he was just a pup when his father and brother died”, she continued, “When he presented as an Alpha, I was devastated, I don’t want to lose him like I lost my husband and son … So I begged Leader Choi to let go of Donghae from his duty as a soldier and let him be a hunter instead”.
“Parents are not supposed to outlive their children, the feeling of losing my son is worse than losing my mate, the only reason why I was still alive back then was Donghae”.
Hyukjae unconsciously shed tears at her story, his mother-in-law was a very strong Omega. Losing a mate was said to be like losing an arm and a leg, but losing a mate and a son was definitely a devastation that could last a lifetime.
“Omo, I just made you cry”, she wiped Hyukjae’s tears with a napkin, “Don’t cry Hyukkie, I’m alright now that I have a pretty son in law like you!”
“I promise to be a good son Umma-nim”, Hyukjae said.
“You are already a good son, Hyuk-ah”, his mother in law smiled kindly, “I am always grateful to have you in our family”.

“It was open when I came here”, Kyuhyun commented as they reached the castle’s main gate, they found the heavy gate was shut closed.
“Could someone else be here?” Henry wondered.
They pushed the gate open, to their surprise the gate was not locked. They called out in case someone was there, but no response. The court yard was empty, there were several dead bodies laying on the ground, they seemed to be dead for a couple of days.
“They weren’t here when I was here the last time”, Kyuhyun used his leg to move the dead body, “I was here five days a go”.
Donghae and Heechul checked another body, while Leeteuk and Kangin looked around.
“I don’t think humans did this”, Heechul concluded. Despite the condition of the corpse, they could see that the face was torn off. The one Kyuhyun was checking had a bite wound that ripped the corpse’s neck. The corpses Kyuhyun found when he came to the castle were no more.
They checked the other corpses and found similar marks, all of them were in bad condition since decomposing had started so it was hard to find out what kind of animals attacked these unfortunate humans.
“They’re hunters”, Donghae pointed out, “I think they came here a couple of days after Kyuhyun was here”, he found one of them was still holding a bow, “What were they hunting in this place?”
“Look”, Leeteuk pointed at the stone floor, on the way to the entrance of the castle was some faded paw marks, “It’s a wolf”.
Kangin pushed the heavy wooden door, the entrance hall inside the castle was a mess, as if a war had started in it.
They found three more dead hunters inside the hall and to their surprise, two dead wolves with arrows on their bodies, their heads were decapitated, Henry found the decapitated heads.
“Can you find out what Clan they’re from?” Kangin asked Leeteuk.
“It’s been dead for too long”, Leeteuk replied, “I can’t even tell if they’re normal wolves of werewolves”.
Both wolves had black coat, Heechul sniffed the air and flipped the dead wolf, his frown deepened. He checked the other carcass and then the heads.
“This one seemed to be dead longer than the hunters”, he used a branch to poke the head, brittle fur and chunks of dead meat fell off the skull easily.
“Why would the hunters shoot dead wolves?” Kangin wondered.
They decided to split themselves in three groups. Donghae and Heechul were to check the ground floor, Henry and Kyuhyun went to the scribe’s office and library in case they could find any clues while Kangin and Leeteuk were going to the upper floor.
There were several more wolf carcasses on the corridor, they were all in the same condition as the two wolves they found in the hall. When they reached the inner garden, they found two dead humans.
“These two look like soldiers”, Donghae checked them, they were heavily mutilated, one of them lost his arm, the other one lost a leg.
“Hae, look over here”, Heechul called the younger Alpha.
Donghae checked the ground, there were traces of blood, he could see footmarks of humans and wolves overlapping.
“There was a fight”, Donghae looked at the patterns, “There were more wolves … more humans and at least six wolves”, he turned to the dead wolf and frowned, “But these wolves we saw had been dead longer than the humans … could there be more wolves?”
“Hyung!” Kyuhyun and Henry came from the wooden stairs on the side of the garden, “We found something!”
Donghae’s eyes landed on the pieces of stones on the ground, there was a small stone structure in the middle of the garden but there was nothing on top of it. He had seen something like that in the human villages, usually there should be a statue on top of it.
His foot stepped on something, when he took a closer look, it was a broken leg of a statue.
“There should be something on top of that structure”, Kyuhyun unrolled the scroll he brought from the library, he showed it to Heechul and Donghae, “It’s a wolf statue”.
It made sense now, the broken stones on the ground were parts of the statue.
“I think this is the original design of the statue”, Kyuhyun told the others, “I don’t understand the rest, we need to take it back to Yesung-Hyung”.
“It was holding something on its mouth”, Heechul pointed at the picture, “What is this? A knife or something?”
“Whatever it is, it’s not here”, Donghae replied, “The head is completely crushed but there’s no signs of that thing”.
Kyuhyun rolled the scroll just in time as Kangin and Leeteuk coming from another door on the far side of the garden. They were both running.
“We have to go”, Kangin told them hurriedly.
“Yes, fast!” Leeteuk added.
The others didn’t get the chance to ask as they could hear footsteps coming from the direction where Kangin and Leeteuk came. Their wolf sense could smell it even before they could see what was coming after them.
Death. Rotten flesh. Blood.
Kangin pulled Henry and they all ran to the front gate. Twelve black wolves were after them. They all had red eyes.
As they reached the courtyard, more wolves had gathered, they were waiting for them.
“What are they?!” Henry questioned.
“We have no idea, but I don’t think it’s a good idea to fight them”, Leeteuk answered.
Donghae could see blood on Leeteuk’s side, the Omega was injured, and blood was seeping down his arm.
The rotten smell was getting stronger now that the wolves were closer to them. Heechul could see that some of them had lost half of their face, some had arrows stuck on their bodies, they were snarling as if they didn’t even realize the injury.
“They’re not healing”, Donghae turned to Heechul.
“Are they even real wolves?!” Kyuhyun groaned.
They escaped through the main gate just in time before the wolves attacked. As soon as they ran past the gate, they closed the heavy gate to keep the wolves inside.
“Are you injured, Teuk?” Heechul asked.
“Just a scratch”, Leeteuk replied, “I’ll be fine”.
Later, as they were in a safe distance from the castle, Kangin told them that Leeteuk and him found more dead bodies on the upper floor, most of them were women and children. There were signs of blood on the walls and all over the floor.
On the largest room, they found dozens of wolves sitting straight like statues, their unblinking red eyes stared at the wall.
When the Kangin and Leeteuk came closer to the room to get a better look and scenting the wolves, they suddenly turned around and attacked. They were extremely strong and very persistent, the two used the decorative axe and spears to defend themselves and despite being stabbed many times the wolves didn’t seem to feel any pain, so they decided to run.
“Something is not right, we need to report this to our leaders and elders”, Heechul concluded.
The others agreed, soon they went to their separate ways.

Notes: Let’s just pretend that the werewolves turned into humans with their clothes on, I’m too lazy to think about how they could get clothes after transforming into wolves ^^; Are you guys still with me? <3
