Chapter 3
A/N: Sorry for the last cliffhanger (not sorry at all), so I decided to add Siwon’s side of view. And btw, I might make this story a nine-chaptered story, but I hope I can squeeze some chapters into one long chapter. But for this 4th chapter, enjoy~
Kyuhyun faintly heard screaming, probably his own scream, before someone shoved a piece of cloth into his mouth, effectively gagging him, but it was his least worry right now. Kyuhyun had never felt this much pain before. He felt like his throat was burning and tearing away.
It was an excruciating painful moment later that he felt the vampire feeding on him hauled away from him, his fangs tearing the werewolf’s skin from the sudden impact. Kyuhyun slide down the wall with dazed eyes and holding his torn skin where he could feel his own blood seeping through his clothes and hand. With half-lidded eyes, he saw the vampires running away and his eyes soon stopped at his savior, although he couldn’t see the other clearly, something tugged in his mind, like he recognized the man. Seconds later, Kyuhyun gave up and felt himself drifting into darkness.
•°•°•°
Siwon watched in fury as the vampire sunk his fangs into Kyuhyun, his supposed mate, making him howling out in pain. In just mere seconds, Siwon had his arms on the vampire and threw him to the ground behind him, hearing a sweet sickening crack a second later. Next, he had his hands snaking another vampire’s neck, effectively destroying the bones.
As the other vampires scattering to run away and drag their dead friend away, Siwon made his way towards Kyuhyun, who was now lying on the ground with his eyes closed. From the distance, Siwon can smell the other’s blood and he growled in fury as he dropped down in front of the omega and threw away the piece of rag in the omega’s mouth before examining the damage. There was a huge gash on his shoulder which angered the alpha even more. Trying to calm his furious wolf down, Siwon took a few licks on Kyuhyun’s shoulder to stop the bleeding and tried to heal the wound. Werewolves, especially alphas, had the gift to heal wounds with their touch or even better, with their saliva.
Siwon looked down at the wound that was starting to close before checking the other’s face which was very pale. With a heavy sigh, Siwon cradled the boy and stroked his mate’s soft brown hair and put his cheeks on the curly locks. The alpha blamed himself. He shouldn’t have hesitated when he followed the packless omega and he should have just blatantly park his car into the parking lot to see if the other have entered the apartment safely. Siwon growled again to surpress his anger and he swore to make the vampires pay for messing in his territory.
After a few stroke on the younger boy’s hair, Siwon stood up and carried Kyuhyun into the apartment. Not even three steps later, a lean tall man rushed out of the apartment with a very deep frown adorning his face and behind him followed a slightly shorter and broader-chest man.
“Kyuhyun? Kyuhyun!” the tall man approached them and glared at the alpha, trying to carry Kyuhyun himself.
Siwon hold unconscious omega even tighter and growled deeply at the other man as a warning.
“Changmin, stop,” even as a beta, the other man can easily control the angry omega.
Siwon observed the two, and instantly knew they were not from the city. The taller one seemed to be the beta’s mate.
Soon, Zhou Mi walked out the apartment and joined them, looking extremely worried at Kyuhyun.
“What happened, Siwon? How is Kyuhyun?” he ushered all of them into the apartment into Kyuhyun’s room, which he easily unlocked with the spare key, perks of being the apartment’s keeper.
Siwon hurriedly placed Kyuhyun on his bed and covered him with the blanket. Once checking the wound and deeming it alright, he sat on the floor next to the bed and stroked Kyuhyun’s cheek. He observed his mate’s face.
It was love at first sight, he though as he leaned and rested his head on the other’s crook of neck to smell his scent, intoxicating his mind with his mate’s sweet scent. How he wished he could have the omega by his side, without the other trembling in fear. Sighing, the alpha looked at Kyuhyun’s serene face again before leaning and standing up to peck the other’s lips. Whatever had happened to him, I will protect him. Bracing himself for the interrogation, Siwon slipped away from the room and closed the door behind him.
•°•°•°
When Siwon went back to the living room, Zhou Mi was making tea, while the two werewolves from earlier sat on the couch with unreadable expression. They looked up when Siwon sat opposite to them.
“How is he?” Changmin asked the alpha.
“He will be fine, I have healed him,” Siwon rubbed his face and sighed before looking at the both strangers.
“Ah, my name is Yunho and this is my mate, Changmin. We are good friends of Kyuhyun and we thought we would visit him in his new living place,” Yunho introduced themselves.
“I am Siwon, and I am the alpha in the area. Also Kyuhyun’s new boss here,” Siwon nodded in acknowledgement.
“An alpha?” Changmin stood up and gritted his teeth. He would have lunged at the alpha, an alpha tha Kyuhyun hated, if not for his mate stopping him by tightly wrapping his arms around the omega’s waist. “Kyuhyun hates alpha!” Changmin’s eyes flashed yellow and he snarled at the alpha who watched him with an expression.
“Changmin, calm down. Kyuhyun is fine, and he is an alpha!” Yunho pushed Changmin back to his seat.
When Changmin still kept being stubborn, Siwon growled lowly, a sign of warning. He was tired, and things like these won’t help.
“I am aware that Kyuhyun is scared of alphas. Since I am his boss, some information about that fear of his can help,” Siwon massaged his temple and looked at Yunho and Changmin.
“Like I would tell you my best friend’s secret,” Changmin glared at the most powerful in the room.
Upon hearing that disrespectful words, Siwon’s eyes flashed red and Changmin immediately cowered and whimpered slightly, baring his neck as a form of submission. While Yunho beside him, tried to calm Changmin down by holding him and avoided Siwon’s eyes.
Thankfully, being the mood maker in the pack, Zhou Mi hurriedly approached them with tea and cookies, setting them on the coffee table, before sitting down on the single couch on the side between two of the other long couches.
“Now, now, just tell us what happened to Kyuhyun,” Zhou Mi clapped his hands and ate a piece of choco chips cookie.
“He was bitten by vampires,” answered Siwon.
“Vampires? Why? We have a pact!” Zhou Mi frowned and looked at his alpha.
“They drank his blood,” Siwon could feel his wolf growling in anger and his eyes flashing red warnings.
“We should tell GD about his minions running loose,” Zhou Mi mumbled and sipped his tea with slight trembling hands and looked at the other werewolves whose face were of confusion. “GD is the vampire leader in this city.”
“Then you better tell him as soon as you can,” snarled Changmin.
At Siwon’s silent, Yunho surprisingly spoke up, “Kyuhyun is in danger, isn’t he?”
Zhou Mi and Changmin immediately snapped their heads at the direction of the beta.
“What do you mean, Yunho?” Changmin frowned at his mate.
“It was rare but, once a vampire bit someone and taste their blood, usually he would feel attached to the taste of the blood. And even if they have fed other blood, they will still yearn for the taste of the blood they feel attached to,” Yunho explained.
“But it is a rare case and the blood of the person should be strong enough to create a bond like that. And werewolves are known to have that kind of blood,” continued Siwon as he rubbed his face.
Blood drained from all the werewolves face as they heard what Siwon was implying.
“Th-Then-“
“How did you find me?” a voice startled them all to the direction of the hallway connecting the bedroom to the living room.
Kyuhyun was leaning on the wall with his hands folded and he was looking at the direction of the alpha with his knuckles white on either side of him.
“What?” Siwon for once looked confused.
“You are following me,” Kyuhyun finally stated.
“I need to ensure your safety. Wolves without pack are vulnerable,” Siwon smoothened his expression.
“I am a grown wolf. I can take care of myself,” Kyuhyun shot the alpha a look before looking away.
“Not in this new city, Kyuhyun,” Siwon looked straight at the omega.
Kyuhyun ignored the shiver he felt from the alpha calling his name and instead settled to walk pass the living room into the open kitchen to pour his own tea into a cup.
“I can take care of myself,” Kyuhyun stated again after drinking.
“Like what happened with those vampires?” Siwon retorted and Kyuhyun glared at him but said nothing and turned his back at them.
“Go home, I need to sleep,” Kyuhyun finally murmured and walked back into his bedroom, not before stopping to look at Changmin and Yunho.
“Both of you can use the guest room, but no disturbing sound.” Looking at Changmin’s frown, Kyuhyun added, “We will talk tomorrow.”
•°•°•°
The next day came faster than Kyuhyun wanted to. The moment Kyuhyun woke up from bed, he was surprised by Changmin hovering above him that had him kicked his friend on the gut, causing Yunho to run and console his seething mate.
“Do not scare me like that, Shim Changmin,” Kyuhyun pointed a finger at his best friend before huffing and leaned on the bedpost.
“I swear I will kill you,” Changmin growled before Yunho shoot him a look. “Fine, fine, just tell me what happened yesterday.”
“I thought the alpha told you about the vamp-“
“I mean about the alpha being your boss, idiot.”
“It was fine.”
“Kyuhyun...”
“Fine. I embarrassed myself in front of my whole colleagues. Satisfied?” Kyuhyun glared at Changmin before proceeding to tell him about his office and the karaoke while Yunho was making breakfast for them, which was very very fortunate since both omegas could only burn water.
Changmin actually had the nerve to laugh which irked Kyuhyun.
“I think you managed to creep them out!” shouted Changmin as he choked at his own laughter, ending up sprawled on the bed coughing his guts out.
“I hope you choke on your own spit,” cursed Kyuhyun, although he couldn’t help but laugh at his idiocy the day before. “They might have thought I am a retard.”
“Yeah, dude, I should’ve seen the alpha’s expression,” grinned Changmin before Kyuhyun started preparing for the day.
•°•°•°
Today’s breakfast was one of the best breakfast Kyuhyun had ever tasted since he usually only made coffee without any real breakfast.
“You are lucky you are living with Yunho,” Kyuhyun commented.
Changmin just snorted while Yunho grinned which scared Kyuhyun that he would split his face in two.
•°•°•°
“I told you I can drive by my own!” Kyuhyun glared at Changmin who was currently holding his car keys, where else Yunho was in his and Changmin’s car, waiting for the two to enter the car.
“But the vampires might jump at you anytime,” Changmin desperately tried to knock some sense into his sometimes idiotic - no, always idiotic - best friend.
“Vampires can’t get exposed to sunlight,” Kyuhyun looked at the taller as if he was some kind of idiot, which was actually true.
“Just enter the car, Kyuhyun. Or else, Siwon will hunt us down if you haven’t arrive there by eight,” Yunho beckoned him to enter the SUV.
“Siwon?” Kyuhyun frowned. “So that alpha ordered you babysit me now?” Kyuhyun’s hatred for the alpha had just heightened.
Changmin huffed a deep sigh before forcing older omega into the car, much to Kyuhyun’s dismay.
“Now sit like a good, trained wolf while we drive you to you office alright,” Changmin entered the car beside Yunho and the car started to move.
“Changmin, I am going to kill you!” growled Kyuhyun, but it definitely fall to deaf ear.
The drive took half an hour and for Kyuhyun, it felt like half a day, since it was always ear-splitting, listening to Changmin and Yunho’s bickering.
“For god’s sake, just throw away that bambi doll so both of you don’t have to bivker with each other,” growled Kyuhyun as they stopped in front of the office lobby. Yunho smiled sheepishly at him while Changmin as usual, glared at him.
Kyuhyun rolled his eyes and walked into the office building, riding the elevator to the fifteenth floor.
It will be another long day, he thought.
•°•°•°
Four hours after he started his second day at work, he realized something. The alpha had been trying to befriend him.
It started that day with Siwon greeting everyone, but stopping just by his desk, almost making Kyuhyun falling down his chair. Luckily, the omega decided to stare at the computer screen and ignore the presence of the alpha, although he was sure from the scent of his fear that it didn’t work.
“Changmin told me you loved coffee with milk and sugar,” Siwon rubbed his neck and put down a cup of coffee on Kyuhyun’s table.
Kyuhyun looked at the alpha and saw that he was really genuine. Kyuhyun just nodded and looked away. It was after Siwon entered his room that Kyuhyun can let go of his breath.
“You are so lucky. Siwon never treat us any coffee early in the morning,” mused Donghae from in front of Kyuhyun’s cubicle.
Kyuhyun just shrugged and continued his work, trying to ignore the alpha’s genuine expression. But he drank the coffee nevertheless. It suited his taste very well.
•°•°•°
The small gestures from the alpha continued in the afternoon.
That day, Kyuhyun decided to skip lunch since he was still a little bit behind in his works. Henry seemed to be in the same position. Skipping meals were not unusual for the omega so Kyuhyun kept typing on his keyboard before feeling the urge to go to the toilet.
A minute later when he walked back to his desk, there was a pack of sandwich and another coffee, which was definitely not there before he left. With a frown, Kyuhyun turned to Henry. Henry grinned and pointed happily at Siwon’s room. Kyuhyun sighed and sat down, continuing typing codes, while eating the sandwich obviously. He was never one to turn down food.
•°•°•°
Everyone went home at around five and Kyuhyun was the last to exit the building at six.
Or not.
Kyuhyun walked pass the stairs to the boss’ room and immediately caught Siwon’s eyes, surprising the omega as he hurriedly averted his eyes and half jogged to the elevator.
Once at the lobby, Changmin was already waiting with his car and Kyuhyun immediately joined him.
“Where is Yunho?” inquired Kyuhyun as he put on the seatbelt.
“Your apartment, cooking.”
“Can you not bring Yunho home when you get back later? I need him to cook for me,” smirked Kyuhyun as Changmin shot him a glare.
“So how are you with that lover alpha?” it was Kyuhyun’s turn to glare at the driver.
“He is not my lover, nor my mate. I still hate alphas.”
“He is really concerned about you, you know,” Changmin’s tone turned serious. “He was the one who healed you.”
Kyuhyun immediately put his palm on the healed wound on his shoulder.
“You should stop thinking that all alphas are dangerous and evil,” Changmin took a slide glance at the older omega.
“I know,” Kyuhyun sighed and looked out the window. “Maybe he wasn’t that bad.”
At that, Changmin raised an eyebrow at his friend. And Kyuhyun proceeded to tell him about today.
“He really is trying to help you, Kyuhyun. You should thank him.”
“The shameless no-manner Shim Changmin is asking me to thank someone?” Kyuhyun snorted and glanced at the omega beside him with a mock.
Changmin in turn stepped on the brake pedal abruptly.
Smirking as Kyuhyun’s head bumped the headrest.
•°•°•°
The rest of the week passed like usual. Siwon still trying to woo Kyuhyun and Kyuhyun didn’t seem to have the time nor the pride to thank the alpha. After all, he was still scared of the leader of the pack. Changmin and Yunho was still living with him, and Changmin was still picking him up from work at night.
Except today.
Changmin just called him that the both of them were stuck in the middle of a meeting with one of the werewolves’ elders in Yunho’s pack somewhere in town. Kyuhyun spent fifteen minutes trying to convince that he was fine and trying to ease his best friend’s guilt. His omega best friend may be snarky, but he still cared for him nonetheless.
Sighing as he disconnected the phone, he tried to look for a taxi, but the street was deserted, probably because the office neighborhood was mostly closed at seven, and it was eight now. Thinking that maybe he could walk to somewhere more crowded, Kyuhyun became wary when a sports car slowed down beside him.
Stay calm, Kyuhyun thought to himself before hurrying his pace, trying not to look at the car beside him.
But the car didn’t stop, instead it followed Kyuhyun’s pace. And in a midst of panic, Kyuhyun started running, and prayed so hard that he wouldn’t shift into a werewolf.
“Kyuhyun!”
“Kyuhyun!”
Kyuhyun’s senses blurred as he ran as quickly as he could with his heart stammering in his ribcage, when suddenly a hand shot out and pulled on his arm.
“Kyuhyun!” the hand shook Kyuhyun back and Kyuhyun blinked only to see Siwon in front of him with a frown etched to his handsome face.
“S-Siwon?” Kyuhyun panted and looked at the alpha in front of him, forgetting for a second that he should have been scared of the other before jerking away from Siwon’s hand.
“Sorry to scare you,” Siwon seemed to realize their close proximity as he took a step backwards and. “Changmin called and told me that you would be going home on your own and I can’t take the risk if something happened to you.”
Kyuhyun frowned and waited for the other to continue.
“I will be driving you home tonight-“
“No,” was Kyuhyun’s immediate answer and he almost felt guilty at seeing the alpha’s face fell. Almost.
“I am perfectly fine to go home by myself. I will grab a taxi soon,” Kyuhyun replied before turning away and continued walking.
“Kyuhyun,” the alpha almost growled and he hold the omega’s hand to prevent him from walking away.
Kyuhyun jerked away again and glared at Siwon.
“A taxi will need 10 kilometers,” Siwon raised an eyebrow at the other.
Eyeing the alpha warily, Kyuhyun searched for something that can prove his hesitance but found none. With a huff, Kyuhyun slowly followed the alpha back to the sports car, minding a respectful distance. Kyuhyun abruptly stopped when Siwon opened the backseat’s door, instead of the passenger’s and Kyuhyun cocked one of his eyebrows.
“I figure it won’t be too comfortable for you to sit beside me,” Siwon smiled sheepishly.
Kyuhyun muttered his thanks, and waited for Siwon to enter his car before he entered the car too.
The ride back home was really silent, and Siwon tried to engage Kyuhyun in a conversation but Kyuhyun anwered everything in a maximum of five words. The alpha seemed to take the hint and stopped talking. The omega looked at his boss from behind and felt bad; he still remembered Changmin’s words to thank the older.
“Why are you trying to help me this hard?” Kyuhyun’s voice seemed to startle Siwon as he immediately looked at his rear mirror to see Kyuhyun.
“Because you are my employee and you are new here?” Siwon answered, but it ended up like a question in which Kyuhyun raised his eyebrow. “Because you are packless and hunted by vampires aren’t a pretty thing, alright, and I am the alpha here,” the alpha continued and he looked at Kyuhyun in the eyes, causing the latter to look away.
Someone tugged on Kyuhyun’s mind, telling him that it wasn’t the whole reason, but Kyuhyun is content with the answer. For now.
Soon, the car slowed to a stop in front of the apartment’s entrance where Changmin, Yunho, and Zhou Mi were already waiting.
“You are alive!” Changmin slinged an arm around Kyuhyun’s neck as soon as the packless wolf exited the car.
“Of course I am. You even called Siwon,” Kyuhyun replied sarcastically with his eye roll.
“We are not taking any risk, remember?” Changmin’s retort was ignored.
“I am not a lost child or something. You guys don’t have to be so worried,” Kyuhyun scrunched up his nose and entered the apartment before stopping abruptly. The omega turned and walked towards Siwon who stared at him with surprise. “Thank you,” the omega simply said, before turning on his heels, leaving a gaping alpha behind him. A gaping and amused alpha.
“So, how is the ride with an alpha? Not so bad is it?” asked Changmin as soon as they were out of earshot.
“You are lucky I haven’t strangled you yet,” growled Kyuhyun as he slammed his bedroom door.
It wasn’t so bad, it was actually-, Kyuhyun turned on the shower to drown his wolf’s voice.
•°•°•°
“You said a club? Aren’t I supposed to stay safe at home?”
It was finally Kyuhyun and Changmin’s first weekend together since Changmin left to live with Yunho in another town months ago, and Changmin decided to take them to a club he recently found out. It was a couple of blocks from the apartment.
“Don’t be a baby,” Changmin chucked a pillow at his best friend which Kyuhyun easily dodged. “You want to go too,” Changmin snorted at the grin Kyuhyun gave him.
“Are we going tonight?” Kyuhyun finally asked and Changmin nodded.
As the sky turned dark, Kyuhyun walked out of the bathroom and threw on a black-tight t-shirt with a pair of dark ripped jeans and doubled it with a black leather jacket. It had been awhile since he had a break from being so uptight so a little fashion won’t hurt, right?
“Kyuhyun, you done? Are you applying your make up?” Changmin’s obnoxious voice caused Kyuhyun to hurry out his room to the front door and glared daggers at his annoying friend before locking the door.
It was when they were out of the apartment that Kyuhyun observed what Changmin and Yunho were wearing. In constarst to his dark colors, Changmin was wearing a white sleeveless shirt with a pair of grey jeans and a chain dangling from its pocket; while Yunho was wearing a black tight sleeveless shirt doubled with a brown jacket and was wearing knee-length brown shorts.
Deeming they were ready, the three werewolves entered Yunho’s car and were ready for a party night.
•°•°•°
Siwon scrunched up his face when the stench of beer and smoke hit his face as the pack entered the club. He suppossed the stench was bad for humans and werewolves had better smeliing senses so it was worse.
By the pack, it meant Zhou Mi, Eunhyuk, Donghae, Shindong, Amber, Hyoyeon and the alpha Siwon himself. It was the troublemakers’ idea - a.k.a Eunhyuk and Donghae - which they came to the club to have some fun night and being a responsible leader, Siwon couldn’t possibly leave them drunk without anyone sane, resulting him in begrudgingly agreeing. It wasn’t even five minutes into the club that Siwon regretted his decision already.
He was seated with Zhou Mi on the bar, the others missing. Both of them ordered their drinks before looking out at the mass of dancing bodies on the dance floor.
“Why would people like being here,” Siwon shook his head and sipped his drink.
“Because it is fun. You can dance, laugh, drink without thinking of your problems, and be the one you are or the one you aren’t,” Zhou Mi smiled widely and waved his hands around him in which Siwon chuckled in respon.
As he was chugging his drink and trying to drown the voices, Siwon’s smelling sense caught something. Something he always wanted. Something that was always on his mind these days. He whipped his head to search for its source. And he found it, he found him.
His object of affection was on one of the couches near the dance floor, sitting with Changmin and his mate, Yunho. Kyuhyun was dressed... very nicely. Siwon kept staring at the male as the omega stood up and started dancing so sensually. The way the tight jeans clung to his long legs and his butt, and his shirt, can it even get any tighter? Siwon felt him himself getting tighter and felt heat starting to pool. He suddenly felt really jealous and glared at everyone who was staring blatantly at his mate.
“Shi Yuan, what’s with your mood?” Zhou Mi’s voice beside him broke his reverie as he shifted his face to the other.
“Nothing, just remembered some annoying moments,” Siwon shrugged and grinned with a sip of his drink.
“You should learn to loosen up, boss. I’m going to dance,” Zhou Mi smiled his trademark smile before leaving the alpha alone.
Siwon could only shook his head as his weird pack members before he remembered what he was focusing on previously and whipped his head to the dance floor, but Kyuhyun was nowhere to be found. Siwon sighed, and drowned himself in more drinks.
•°•°•°
“I am going to dance,” Kyuhyun muttered to Changmin as he took a last sip of alcohol before standing up.
“I thought you can’t dance,” Changmin wiggled his eyebrow.
“I am not a full-time nerd, alright,” Kyuhyun rolled his eyes before leaving his friends and stepping on the dance floor.
He swayed his body to the music and blended in with the sweaty dancing body around him. It had been a very long time since he last danced in a club. He was only there for a few minutes when suddenly someone joined him, the other’s body moving so close behind him, and his hands hovering over kyuhyun’s hips as they swayed together.
Kyuhyun ignored the stranger; his wolf telling him to move away from the other, but Kyuhyun drowned the voice in the beat of the loud music, before something alerted his senses. Among the smell of cigarettes and beer, was the scent of an alpha. It was so strong. It was right behind him. In a blind of panic, Kyuhyun didn’t bother himself to turn backwards and instead sprinting away from the dance floor, he could call Changmin when he get back.
Passing the alpha on his way towards the front door won’t be a good idea, so Kyuhyun walked towards the back of the dancing floor and opened the back door in a hurry. The alley way beside the club was dark and cold. Kyuhyun tightened his jacket and all he wanted to do was to curl up and hide somewhere, but stopping right beside the club seemed like a really bad idea.
Kyuhyun tried to rub his nose to get rid of the alpha’s scent and tried very hard not to vomit right there. With wobbly steps, Kyuhyun walked along the dark humid alley way and quickened his pace when suddenly someone slammed him towards the cold wall, his mind blurring in pain for a second before he could registered who just assaulted him.
Blinking his eyes, Kyuhyun stared at the man in front of him, too scared to react. The man was much, much taller than he was, he could smell alcohol from the man.
“Is that how you treat an alpha?” the man growled, and it was when Kyuhyun realized that the man was controlled by his wolf, the taller’s eyes flashing red.
“I’m sorry,” Kyuhyun whimpered and bared his neck to show submission, hoping that the alpha will spare him.
“I won’t let you go that fast. You are packless and mateless,” the alpha grinned evilly before trapping Kyuhyun with both hands beside the omega’s head.
“I said I am sorry,” Kyuhyun growled lowly and felt his eyes flashing yellow, his wolf starting to take control.
The alpha growled louder, and his eyes turned red, and before Kyuhyun knew what his wolf was doing, Kyuhyun was already ducking pass the alpha’s arms and was sprinting down the alley, he felt his claws starting to form and he started feeling the pain of shifting.
As he felt his fur starting to grow, he was grabbed by his collar and was thrown towards the hard ground before feeling the man straddling him and strangling him, causing him to be unable to continue shifting.
“Let me go,” Kyuhyun growled as his eyes turned yellow and he trashed around.
“Not before I had my share with you,” the alpha smirked before tying up Kyuhyun’s wrists together and tying a cloth around the omega’s mouth to prevent noise. “I love it when they writhe and beg underneath me, but being loud here didn’t seem like a good option.”
Kyuhyun could only let whimpers and muffled shouts through the clothes, while trying to kick the werewolf on top of him.
“Now, now, stay still before I immediately ripped your throat,” the alpha squeezed Kyuhyun’s windpipe a little harder, causing him to choke with tears glazing over his eyes. “Such a pretty sight,” the alpha smirked and stroked Kyuhyun’s trembling cheek.
The alpha then proceeded to tear Kyuhyun’s thin shirt with a small pocketknife from his pocket, enjoying the way the omega trembled under his sharp glare. “Maybe you can be my mate, what do you think?”
Kyuhyun shook his head frantically as an answer, causing the man to narrow his eyes and roughly ripped away what remained of his black t-shirt. Kyuhyun closed his eyes, trying to ignore what was happening to him, which was really hard.
“Then just be my slave. I can satisfy you, you know. Going in heat without a mate is-Shit! What-“
Suddenly Kyuhyun felt the weight of the man being lifted up and the omega dared to open his eyes, only to see the man who hurt him writhing on the ground, blood all over him, with a huge black wolf above him, the canine’s mouth dripping blood. The man screamed and tried to crawl away, not before being bite on the stomach by the beast. The wolf howled and growled at the limping, running-away man before trotting towards Kyuhyun.
Kyuhyun stared at the wolf with wide eyes and slide on the ground backwards, until his back hit the wall behind. It was definitely not an ordinary wolf, it was a werewolf.
The werewolf lay on the ground and flattened himself before looking at Kyuhyun with, wait is that puppy eyes? Kyuhyun frowned and the wolf whined a little before crawling towards Kyuhyun, trying to prove that he was not a threat.
Kyuhyun sighed and motioned the wolf to approach him before putting his tied wrist in front of the wolf. The wolf bitted the cloth and licked on the red marks on his wrists. Kyuhyun muffled a call and the wolf took the hint and with his teeth, the beast tore away the cloth covering Kyuhyun’s mouth and licked the omega’s mouth in which Kyuhyun grimaced and pushed away the wolf.
“Thank you,” Kyuhyun smiled pathetically, letting himself tremble before he curl into a ball.
He felt the wolf soothing him and rubbed his face on Kyuhyun’s neck before settling down beside Kyuhyun, curling his tail around Kyuhyun’s back and his face nuzzling Kyuhyun’s head which was hidden by his hands. From his sobs, Kyuhyun could faintly heard the wolf whining and nuzzling even closer. It was then Kyuhyun could find himself relax and let the wolf lay around him. The scent of the wolf seemed familiar but Kyuhyun couldn’t think about it, but the scent soothed him and for once, he felt protected and safe, even though he was in a dark alley. Even though he was with an unknown huge wolf. And even though he was almost raped by an alpha. The creature he had always hated. Maybe it was the worst decision to move into the town when he was almost killed twice although he hadn’t even stayed for a month. But maybe it was a good time to forget about everything and drift off to sleep.
He had a wolf to protect him after all.
•°•°•°
The first thing Kyuhyun realized when he woke up was the scent around him. It was a scent he was familiar with but he couldn’t seem to name it. Second thing he realized was he wasn’t in his apartment, and it freaked him out. With a sudden movement, Kyuhyun sat up, immediately regretting it as his vision swarmed and his head throbbed. His hand shot out to his forehead which was wrapped with bandages.
“Be careful, Kyu,” Siwon’s face suddenly filled his sight and Kyuhyun grunted as the alpha helped him lean on the bedpost, offering the omega the drink, in which kyuhyun gratefully drank.
The alpha. Kyuhyun suddenly recalled what happened earlier and immediately coiled away from the alpha’s touch. The omega looked at the alpha and immediately felt guilty at the crestfallen face of the older.
“Are you alright? He didn’t hurt you any more, did you?” Siwon sat on the chair beside him and looked at him worriedly, although he kept a respectful distance and didn’t touch Kyuhyun again.
“I am fine,” Kyuhyun murmured, not looking at the other, before realizing that he was not wearing the clothes that he wore.
“Your shirt were torn and I, uh, borrowed you my clothes,” Siwon looked away and rubbed his nape.
“You are the wolf,” Kyuhyun stated as he looked at the alpha. For some reason, he wasn’t afraid of Siwon anymore.
“Yes, I am sor-“
“Don’t be. Thank you,” Kyuhyun spoke up and looked at the surprised Siwon.
“Kyu,” Siwon looked at Kyuhyun as if the omega just saved his life, not the other way around.
“Do you know why I am scared of alphas?” Kyuhyun surprised not only Siwon but himself too, as he broke the silence that started to cover the room.
“No, I don’t,” Siwon shook his head, not looking away from the omega.
“I was six when it happened. I lived in a small town on the outskirts of Gwangju with my parents and my older sister, we were all werewolves,” Kyuhyun started and paused to calm himself. “It was midnight when I woke up to the sounds of screams and roars. I peeked at the window beside my bed to see everything on fire,” Kyuhyun started to shake but he held out a hand to Siwon to stop the other from comforting him.
“I was alone in the bedroom I shared with my sister, since she and my parents were spending the night in my grandparents’ house since my grandfather was ill. I was supposed to go with them, but I was sick, so our neighbor, Dr. Min Ah, was the one to take care of me when my family was away.”
“I had no idea what happened, so I slowly walked out the room, only to see everything covered in blood,” Kyuhyun felt tears running down his face, but he didn’t made a move to wipe it. “The living room was a mess. There were around five werewolves in the living room; all of them were carrying swords and guns. The worst thing I saw though was my neighbor, the doctor...” Kyuhyun choked and started to sob, the memories he so desperately wanted to forget came rushing into his mind.
“It is fine if you do not want to remember or talk about it, Kyu,” Siwon cradled Kyuhyun as he stroked the omega's brown locks and rested Kyuhyun's head on the alpha's shoulder.
Kyuhyun shook his head before continuing.
"Her throat was slit and there was so much blood. The stench was so horrible. Dr. Min Ah's eyes were still open and she was choking terribly with blood running down her lips. I-I didn't..." Kyuhyun started to sob and hid his face on Siwon's neck and took a deep breath.
"I didn't understand back then, but I understood the look she gave me before dying. She asked me to hide, so I immediately ran back into my bedroom as quiet as I could. But... But one of the werewolves must have had heard me because once I locked the door, I heard footsteps hurrying towards my direction and there wasn't really any place to hide you know, so as a child, I hid in the most cliché place; the wardrobe. It was definitely the worst place to hide," Kyuhyun let out a humorless laugh as he wiped his tears and let Siwon held him.
"I hid among the piles of clothes and it wasn't even ten minutes later that the wardrobe's door suddenly flew open and there was an alpha right in front of me with a very long sword, stained with thick blood. The alpha's scent was sickening with a mix of blood. He had a deep long gash across his face and he smiled sinisterly at me," Kyuhyun trembled as he remembered the look of the alpha that haunted his life.
"He looked at me as a prey and he pulled me out from the hiding place and threw me across the room to my bed. I-It was scary. I tried to run away, but how can a pathetic little wolf fight an alpha. He grabbed at me and started tearing off my clothes," Kyuhyun trembled even harder and he felt Siwon's hold on him getting tighter and the older holding his breath.
"Did he-“
"No," Kyuhyun shook his head and smiled bitterly. "He didn't have the time to touch me further when the pack from the other town came to our rescue. The alpha was strike dead right above me, his foul blood splattering on me. It was horrible," Kyuhyun shook his head and muffled his whimper at Siwon's shoulder, feeling the other rubbing his back murmuring some encouraging words.
"I was then carried by a werewolf, who was Changmin's father, to their town. I didn't dare to open my eyes the moment we exited my house. But I can still hear growls and screams and the foul stench of blood mixing in the hot night air. I didn't even know why it happened," Kyuhyun stopped and calmed himself by leaning his head on Siwon's shoulder.
Siwon was looking at him with an unreadable expression and his brows furrowed. But Kyuhyun could feel anger, sad, and relieve from the alpha's scent.
"Did you know why your town was attacked?" Siwon asked after a long while of silence.
"They said the evil pack of wolves was trying to take over the city, but I didn't think it was all about that," Kyuhyun answered quietly. "Maybe I should have died that time. It would be better," Kyuhyun added with a wry smile.
"No. Do not say that," Siwon's stern voice surprised him and he looked up at the alpha for the first time since he was there. "You are lucky you lived, and because of that I got to meet you," Siwon hold the omega's chin so the younger was looking at him. Kyuhyun could see how serious and earnest the alpha was, and it made him happy and wanted. “I will protect you no matter what.”
"That is so cheesy you know, telling someone that when you only knew them for less than two weeks," Kyuhyun snorted and instantly he felt much better, although he wasn't sure if it was because he told someone about his traumatic past, or because it was Siwon.
"But I felt like I know you much longer, Kyu," Siwon looked at the tear-stained omega and smiles gently.
"Kyu?" Kyuhyun raised an eyebrow at the nickname with an amused smile.
"T-That, calling Kyuhyun is too long, don't you think?" Siwon looked away and looked embarrassed-which was cute.
Kyuhyun shook his head and hid a small smile before realizing their position and immediately leaned away from the alpha, feeling himself flushed.
Siwon seemed to realize it too and cleared his throat. "I-It is best if you sleep," the alpha helped Kyuhyun to lie back on the bed and covered him with the thick blanket.
"Where will you be sleeping?" Kyuhyun asked as he looked at Siwon when the taller turned off the light, the room only illuminated by the small lamp on the bedside table.
"I have a guest room," Siwon smiled and stood up, before Kyuhyun shot out a hand to prevent the other from walking away.
"Are you an idiot, letting me sleeping in your own room rather than the guest room? This was your bed after all," Kyuhyun mumbled without meeting Siwon's eyes as he slowly and gingerly scooted towards one side of the king-sized bed.
"Is it okay...?" Siwon widened his eyes and slowly started to smile. Kyuhyun mentally slapped himself and his wolf that they thought the smile was charming.
Kyuhyun just buried himself under the blanket to hide his blushing face. Soon, he felt the space beside him dipped and he smiled before covering his eyes.
"Good night, Kyuhyun."
"I didn't forbid you from calling me Kyu.”
“Good night, Kyu.”
Kyuhyun soon drifted off to sleep, although he was so sure Siwon mumbled something before he fell asleep. Something along the lines of I am serious about protecting you forever, Kyu.

Chapter 1
Chapter 2
Chapter 3
A/N: Sorry for the last cliffhanger (not sorry at all), so I decided to add Siwon’s side of view. And btw, I might make this story a nine-chaptered story, but I hope I can squeeze some chapters into one long chapter. But for this 4th chapter, enjoy~
Kyuhyun faintly heard screaming, probably his own scream, before someone shoved a piece of cloth into his mouth, effectively gagging him, but it was his least worry right now. Kyuhyun had never felt this much pain before. He felt like his throat was burning and tearing away.
It was an excruciating painful moment later that he felt the vampire feeding on him hauled away from him, his fangs tearing the werewolf’s skin from the sudden impact. Kyuhyun slide down the wall with dazed eyes and holding his torn skin where he could feel his own blood seeping through his clothes and hand. With half-lidded eyes, he saw the vampires running away and his eyes soon stopped at his savior, although he couldn’t see the other clearly, something tugged in his mind, like he recognized the man. Seconds later, Kyuhyun gave up and felt himself drifting into darkness.
•°•°•°
Siwon watched in fury as the vampire sunk his fangs into Kyuhyun, his supposed mate, making him howling out in pain. In just mere seconds, Siwon had his arms on the vampire and threw him to the ground behind him, hearing a sweet sickening crack a second later. Next, he had his hands snaking another vampire’s neck, effectively destroying the bones.
As the other vampires scattering to run away and drag their dead friend away, Siwon made his way towards Kyuhyun, who was now lying on the ground with his eyes closed. From the distance, Siwon can smell the other’s blood and he growled in fury as he dropped down in front of the omega and threw away the piece of rag in the omega’s mouth before examining the damage. There was a huge gash on his shoulder which angered the alpha even more. Trying to calm his furious wolf down, Siwon took a few licks on Kyuhyun’s shoulder to stop the bleeding and tried to heal the wound. Werewolves, especially alphas, had the gift to heal wounds with their touch or even better, with their saliva.
Siwon looked down at the wound that was starting to close before checking the other’s face which was very pale. With a heavy sigh, Siwon cradled the boy and stroked his mate’s soft brown hair and put his cheeks on the curly locks. The alpha blamed himself. He shouldn’t have hesitated when he followed the packless omega and he should have just blatantly park his car into the parking lot to see if the other have entered the apartment safely. Siwon growled again to surpress his anger and he swore to make the vampires pay for messing in his territory.
After a few stroke on the younger boy’s hair, Siwon stood up and carried Kyuhyun into the apartment. Not even three steps later, a lean tall man rushed out of the apartment with a very deep frown adorning his face and behind him followed a slightly shorter and broader-chest man.
“Kyuhyun? Kyuhyun!” the tall man approached them and glared at the alpha, trying to carry Kyuhyun himself.
Siwon hold unconscious omega even tighter and growled deeply at the other man as a warning.
“Changmin, stop,” even as a beta, the other man can easily control the angry omega.
Siwon observed the two, and instantly knew they were not from the city. The taller one seemed to be the beta’s mate.
Soon, Zhou Mi walked out the apartment and joined them, looking extremely worried at Kyuhyun.
“What happened, Siwon? How is Kyuhyun?” he ushered all of them into the apartment into Kyuhyun’s room, which he easily unlocked with the spare key, perks of being the apartment’s keeper.
Siwon hurriedly placed Kyuhyun on his bed and covered him with the blanket. Once checking the wound and deeming it alright, he sat on the floor next to the bed and stroked Kyuhyun’s cheek. He observed his mate’s face.
It was love at first sight, he though as he leaned and rested his head on the other’s crook of neck to smell his scent, intoxicating his mind with his mate’s sweet scent. How he wished he could have the omega by his side, without the other trembling in fear. Sighing, the alpha looked at Kyuhyun’s serene face again before leaning and standing up to peck the other’s lips. Whatever had happened to him, I will protect him. Bracing himself for the interrogation, Siwon slipped away from the room and closed the door behind him.
•°•°•°
When Siwon went back to the living room, Zhou Mi was making tea, while the two werewolves from earlier sat on the couch with unreadable expression. They looked up when Siwon sat opposite to them.
“How is he?” Changmin asked the alpha.
“He will be fine, I have healed him,” Siwon rubbed his face and sighed before looking at the both strangers.
“Ah, my name is Yunho and this is my mate, Changmin. We are good friends of Kyuhyun and we thought we would visit him in his new living place,” Yunho introduced themselves.
“I am Siwon, and I am the alpha in the area. Also Kyuhyun’s new boss here,” Siwon nodded in acknowledgement.
“An alpha?” Changmin stood up and gritted his teeth. He would have lunged at the alpha, an alpha tha Kyuhyun hated, if not for his mate stopping him by tightly wrapping his arms around the omega’s waist. “Kyuhyun hates alpha!” Changmin’s eyes flashed yellow and he snarled at the alpha who watched him with an expression.
“Changmin, calm down. Kyuhyun is fine, and he is an alpha!” Yunho pushed Changmin back to his seat.
When Changmin still kept being stubborn, Siwon growled lowly, a sign of warning. He was tired, and things like these won’t help.
“I am aware that Kyuhyun is scared of alphas. Since I am his boss, some information about that fear of his can help,” Siwon massaged his temple and looked at Yunho and Changmin.
“Like I would tell you my best friend’s secret,” Changmin glared at the most powerful in the room.
Upon hearing that disrespectful words, Siwon’s eyes flashed red and Changmin immediately cowered and whimpered slightly, baring his neck as a form of submission. While Yunho beside him, tried to calm Changmin down by holding him and avoided Siwon’s eyes.
Thankfully, being the mood maker in the pack, Zhou Mi hurriedly approached them with tea and cookies, setting them on the coffee table, before sitting down on the single couch on the side between two of the other long couches.
“Now, now, just tell us what happened to Kyuhyun,” Zhou Mi clapped his hands and ate a piece of choco chips cookie.
“He was bitten by vampires,” answered Siwon.
“Vampires? Why? We have a pact!” Zhou Mi frowned and looked at his alpha.
“They drank his blood,” Siwon could feel his wolf growling in anger and his eyes flashing red warnings.
“We should tell GD about his minions running loose,” Zhou Mi mumbled and sipped his tea with slight trembling hands and looked at the other werewolves whose face were of confusion. “GD is the vampire leader in this city.”
“Then you better tell him as soon as you can,” snarled Changmin.
At Siwon’s silent, Yunho surprisingly spoke up, “Kyuhyun is in danger, isn’t he?”
Zhou Mi and Changmin immediately snapped their heads at the direction of the beta.
“What do you mean, Yunho?” Changmin frowned at his mate.
“It was rare but, once a vampire bit someone and taste their blood, usually he would feel attached to the taste of the blood. And even if they have fed other blood, they will still yearn for the taste of the blood they feel attached to,” Yunho explained.
“But it is a rare case and the blood of the person should be strong enough to create a bond like that. And werewolves are known to have that kind of blood,” continued Siwon as he rubbed his face.
Blood drained from all the werewolves face as they heard what Siwon was implying.
“Th-Then-“
“How did you find me?” a voice startled them all to the direction of the hallway connecting the bedroom to the living room.
Kyuhyun was leaning on the wall with his hands folded and he was looking at the direction of the alpha with his knuckles white on either side of him.
“What?” Siwon for once looked confused.
“You are following me,” Kyuhyun finally stated.
“I need to ensure your safety. Wolves without pack are vulnerable,” Siwon smoothened his expression.
“I am a grown wolf. I can take care of myself,” Kyuhyun shot the alpha a look before looking away.
“Not in this new city, Kyuhyun,” Siwon looked straight at the omega.
Kyuhyun ignored the shiver he felt from the alpha calling his name and instead settled to walk pass the living room into the open kitchen to pour his own tea into a cup.
“I can take care of myself,” Kyuhyun stated again after drinking.
“Like what happened with those vampires?” Siwon retorted and Kyuhyun glared at him but said nothing and turned his back at them.
“Go home, I need to sleep,” Kyuhyun finally murmured and walked back into his bedroom, not before stopping to look at Changmin and Yunho.
“Both of you can use the guest room, but no disturbing sound.” Looking at Changmin’s frown, Kyuhyun added, “We will talk tomorrow.”
•°•°•°
The next day came faster than Kyuhyun wanted to. The moment Kyuhyun woke up from bed, he was surprised by Changmin hovering above him that had him kicked his friend on the gut, causing Yunho to run and console his seething mate.
“Do not scare me like that, Shim Changmin,” Kyuhyun pointed a finger at his best friend before huffing and leaned on the bedpost.
“I swear I will kill you,” Changmin growled before Yunho shoot him a look. “Fine, fine, just tell me what happened yesterday.”
“I thought the alpha told you about the vamp-“
“I mean about the alpha being your boss, idiot.”
“It was fine.”
“Kyuhyun...”
“Fine. I embarrassed myself in front of my whole colleagues. Satisfied?” Kyuhyun glared at Changmin before proceeding to tell him about his office and the karaoke while Yunho was making breakfast for them, which was very very fortunate since both omegas could only burn water.
Changmin actually had the nerve to laugh which irked Kyuhyun.
“I think you managed to creep them out!” shouted Changmin as he choked at his own laughter, ending up sprawled on the bed coughing his guts out.
“I hope you choke on your own spit,” cursed Kyuhyun, although he couldn’t help but laugh at his idiocy the day before. “They might have thought I am a retard.”
“Yeah, dude, I should’ve seen the alpha’s expression,” grinned Changmin before Kyuhyun started preparing for the day.
•°•°•°
Today’s breakfast was one of the best breakfast Kyuhyun had ever tasted since he usually only made coffee without any real breakfast.
“You are lucky you are living with Yunho,” Kyuhyun commented.
Changmin just snorted while Yunho grinned which scared Kyuhyun that he would split his face in two.
•°•°•°
“I told you I can drive by my own!” Kyuhyun glared at Changmin who was currently holding his car keys, where else Yunho was in his and Changmin’s car, waiting for the two to enter the car.
“But the vampires might jump at you anytime,” Changmin desperately tried to knock some sense into his sometimes idiotic - no, always idiotic - best friend.
“Vampires can’t get exposed to sunlight,” Kyuhyun looked at the taller as if he was some kind of idiot, which was actually true.
“Just enter the car, Kyuhyun. Or else, Siwon will hunt us down if you haven’t arrive there by eight,” Yunho beckoned him to enter the SUV.
“Siwon?” Kyuhyun frowned. “So that alpha ordered you babysit me now?” Kyuhyun’s hatred for the alpha had just heightened.
Changmin huffed a deep sigh before forcing older omega into the car, much to Kyuhyun’s dismay.
“Now sit like a good, trained wolf while we drive you to you office alright,” Changmin entered the car beside Yunho and the car started to move.
“Changmin, I am going to kill you!” growled Kyuhyun, but it definitely fall to deaf ear.
The drive took half an hour and for Kyuhyun, it felt like half a day, since it was always ear-splitting, listening to Changmin and Yunho’s bickering.
“For god’s sake, just throw away that bambi doll so both of you don’t have to bivker with each other,” growled Kyuhyun as they stopped in front of the office lobby. Yunho smiled sheepishly at him while Changmin as usual, glared at him.
Kyuhyun rolled his eyes and walked into the office building, riding the elevator to the fifteenth floor.
It will be another long day, he thought.
•°•°•°
Four hours after he started his second day at work, he realized something. The alpha had been trying to befriend him.
It started that day with Siwon greeting everyone, but stopping just by his desk, almost making Kyuhyun falling down his chair. Luckily, the omega decided to stare at the computer screen and ignore the presence of the alpha, although he was sure from the scent of his fear that it didn’t work.
“Changmin told me you loved coffee with milk and sugar,” Siwon rubbed his neck and put down a cup of coffee on Kyuhyun’s table.
Kyuhyun looked at the alpha and saw that he was really genuine. Kyuhyun just nodded and looked away. It was after Siwon entered his room that Kyuhyun can let go of his breath.
“You are so lucky. Siwon never treat us any coffee early in the morning,” mused Donghae from in front of Kyuhyun’s cubicle.
Kyuhyun just shrugged and continued his work, trying to ignore the alpha’s genuine expression. But he drank the coffee nevertheless. It suited his taste very well.
•°•°•°
The small gestures from the alpha continued in the afternoon.
That day, Kyuhyun decided to skip lunch since he was still a little bit behind in his works. Henry seemed to be in the same position. Skipping meals were not unusual for the omega so Kyuhyun kept typing on his keyboard before feeling the urge to go to the toilet.
A minute later when he walked back to his desk, there was a pack of sandwich and another coffee, which was definitely not there before he left. With a frown, Kyuhyun turned to Henry. Henry grinned and pointed happily at Siwon’s room. Kyuhyun sighed and sat down, continuing typing codes, while eating the sandwich obviously. He was never one to turn down food.
•°•°•°
Everyone went home at around five and Kyuhyun was the last to exit the building at six.
Or not.
Kyuhyun walked pass the stairs to the boss’ room and immediately caught Siwon’s eyes, surprising the omega as he hurriedly averted his eyes and half jogged to the elevator.
Once at the lobby, Changmin was already waiting with his car and Kyuhyun immediately joined him.
“Where is Yunho?” inquired Kyuhyun as he put on the seatbelt.
“Your apartment, cooking.”
“Can you not bring Yunho home when you get back later? I need him to cook for me,” smirked Kyuhyun as Changmin shot him a glare.
“So how are you with that lover alpha?” it was Kyuhyun’s turn to glare at the driver.
“He is not my lover, nor my mate. I still hate alphas.”
“He is really concerned about you, you know,” Changmin’s tone turned serious. “He was the one who healed you.”
Kyuhyun immediately put his palm on the healed wound on his shoulder.
“You should stop thinking that all alphas are dangerous and evil,” Changmin took a slide glance at the older omega.
“I know,” Kyuhyun sighed and looked out the window. “Maybe he wasn’t that bad.”
At that, Changmin raised an eyebrow at his friend. And Kyuhyun proceeded to tell him about today.
“He really is trying to help you, Kyuhyun. You should thank him.”
“The shameless no-manner Shim Changmin is asking me to thank someone?” Kyuhyun snorted and glanced at the omega beside him with a mock.
Changmin in turn stepped on the brake pedal abruptly.
Smirking as Kyuhyun’s head bumped the headrest.
•°•°•°
The rest of the week passed like usual. Siwon still trying to woo Kyuhyun and Kyuhyun didn’t seem to have the time nor the pride to thank the alpha. After all, he was still scared of the leader of the pack. Changmin and Yunho was still living with him, and Changmin was still picking him up from work at night.
Except today.
Changmin just called him that the both of them were stuck in the middle of a meeting with one of the werewolves’ elders in Yunho’s pack somewhere in town. Kyuhyun spent fifteen minutes trying to convince that he was fine and trying to ease his best friend’s guilt. His omega best friend may be snarky, but he still cared for him nonetheless.
Sighing as he disconnected the phone, he tried to look for a taxi, but the street was deserted, probably because the office neighborhood was mostly closed at seven, and it was eight now. Thinking that maybe he could walk to somewhere more crowded, Kyuhyun became wary when a sports car slowed down beside him.
Stay calm, Kyuhyun thought to himself before hurrying his pace, trying not to look at the car beside him.
But the car didn’t stop, instead it followed Kyuhyun’s pace. And in a midst of panic, Kyuhyun started running, and prayed so hard that he wouldn’t shift into a werewolf.
“Kyuhyun!”
“Kyuhyun!”
Kyuhyun’s senses blurred as he ran as quickly as he could with his heart stammering in his ribcage, when suddenly a hand shot out and pulled on his arm.
“Kyuhyun!” the hand shook Kyuhyun back and Kyuhyun blinked only to see Siwon in front of him with a frown etched to his handsome face.
“S-Siwon?” Kyuhyun panted and looked at the alpha in front of him, forgetting for a second that he should have been scared of the other before jerking away from Siwon’s hand.
“Sorry to scare you,” Siwon seemed to realize their close proximity as he took a step backwards and. “Changmin called and told me that you would be going home on your own and I can’t take the risk if something happened to you.”
Kyuhyun frowned and waited for the other to continue.
“I will be driving you home tonight-“
“No,” was Kyuhyun’s immediate answer and he almost felt guilty at seeing the alpha’s face fell. Almost.
“I am perfectly fine to go home by myself. I will grab a taxi soon,” Kyuhyun replied before turning away and continued walking.
“Kyuhyun,” the alpha almost growled and he hold the omega’s hand to prevent him from walking away.
Kyuhyun jerked away again and glared at Siwon.
“A taxi will need 10 kilometers,” Siwon raised an eyebrow at the other.
Eyeing the alpha warily, Kyuhyun searched for something that can prove his hesitance but found none. With a huff, Kyuhyun slowly followed the alpha back to the sports car, minding a respectful distance. Kyuhyun abruptly stopped when Siwon opened the backseat’s door, instead of the passenger’s and Kyuhyun cocked one of his eyebrows.
“I figure it won’t be too comfortable for you to sit beside me,” Siwon smiled sheepishly.
Kyuhyun muttered his thanks, and waited for Siwon to enter his car before he entered the car too.
The ride back home was really silent, and Siwon tried to engage Kyuhyun in a conversation but Kyuhyun anwered everything in a maximum of five words. The alpha seemed to take the hint and stopped talking. The omega looked at his boss from behind and felt bad; he still remembered Changmin’s words to thank the older.
“Why are you trying to help me this hard?” Kyuhyun’s voice seemed to startle Siwon as he immediately looked at his rear mirror to see Kyuhyun.
“Because you are my employee and you are new here?” Siwon answered, but it ended up like a question in which Kyuhyun raised his eyebrow. “Because you are packless and hunted by vampires aren’t a pretty thing, alright, and I am the alpha here,” the alpha continued and he looked at Kyuhyun in the eyes, causing the latter to look away.
Someone tugged on Kyuhyun’s mind, telling him that it wasn’t the whole reason, but Kyuhyun is content with the answer. For now.
Soon, the car slowed to a stop in front of the apartment’s entrance where Changmin, Yunho, and Zhou Mi were already waiting.
“You are alive!” Changmin slinged an arm around Kyuhyun’s neck as soon as the packless wolf exited the car.
“Of course I am. You even called Siwon,” Kyuhyun replied sarcastically with his eye roll.
“We are not taking any risk, remember?” Changmin’s retort was ignored.
“I am not a lost child or something. You guys don’t have to be so worried,” Kyuhyun scrunched up his nose and entered the apartment before stopping abruptly. The omega turned and walked towards Siwon who stared at him with surprise. “Thank you,” the omega simply said, before turning on his heels, leaving a gaping alpha behind him. A gaping and amused alpha.
“So, how is the ride with an alpha? Not so bad is it?” asked Changmin as soon as they were out of earshot.
“You are lucky I haven’t strangled you yet,” growled Kyuhyun as he slammed his bedroom door.
It wasn’t so bad, it was actually-, Kyuhyun turned on the shower to drown his wolf’s voice.
•°•°•°
“You said a club? Aren’t I supposed to stay safe at home?”
It was finally Kyuhyun and Changmin’s first weekend together since Changmin left to live with Yunho in another town months ago, and Changmin decided to take them to a club he recently found out. It was a couple of blocks from the apartment.
“Don’t be a baby,” Changmin chucked a pillow at his best friend which Kyuhyun easily dodged. “You want to go too,” Changmin snorted at the grin Kyuhyun gave him.
“Are we going tonight?” Kyuhyun finally asked and Changmin nodded.
As the sky turned dark, Kyuhyun walked out of the bathroom and threw on a black-tight t-shirt with a pair of dark ripped jeans and doubled it with a black leather jacket. It had been awhile since he had a break from being so uptight so a little fashion won’t hurt, right?
“Kyuhyun, you done? Are you applying your make up?” Changmin’s obnoxious voice caused Kyuhyun to hurry out his room to the front door and glared daggers at his annoying friend before locking the door.
It was when they were out of the apartment that Kyuhyun observed what Changmin and Yunho were wearing. In constarst to his dark colors, Changmin was wearing a white sleeveless shirt with a pair of grey jeans and a chain dangling from its pocket; while Yunho was wearing a black tight sleeveless shirt doubled with a brown jacket and was wearing knee-length brown shorts.
Deeming they were ready, the three werewolves entered Yunho’s car and were ready for a party night.
•°•°•°
Siwon scrunched up his face when the stench of beer and smoke hit his face as the pack entered the club. He suppossed the stench was bad for humans and werewolves had better smeliing senses so it was worse.
By the pack, it meant Zhou Mi, Eunhyuk, Donghae, Shindong, Amber, Hyoyeon and the alpha Siwon himself. It was the troublemakers’ idea - a.k.a Eunhyuk and Donghae - which they came to the club to have some fun night and being a responsible leader, Siwon couldn’t possibly leave them drunk without anyone sane, resulting him in begrudgingly agreeing. It wasn’t even five minutes into the club that Siwon regretted his decision already.
He was seated with Zhou Mi on the bar, the others missing. Both of them ordered their drinks before looking out at the mass of dancing bodies on the dance floor.
“Why would people like being here,” Siwon shook his head and sipped his drink.
“Because it is fun. You can dance, laugh, drink without thinking of your problems, and be the one you are or the one you aren’t,” Zhou Mi smiled widely and waved his hands around him in which Siwon chuckled in respon.
As he was chugging his drink and trying to drown the voices, Siwon’s smelling sense caught something. Something he always wanted. Something that was always on his mind these days. He whipped his head to search for its source. And he found it, he found him.
His object of affection was on one of the couches near the dance floor, sitting with Changmin and his mate, Yunho. Kyuhyun was dressed... very nicely. Siwon kept staring at the male as the omega stood up and started dancing so sensually. The way the tight jeans clung to his long legs and his butt, and his shirt, can it even get any tighter? Siwon felt him himself getting tighter and felt heat starting to pool. He suddenly felt really jealous and glared at everyone who was staring blatantly at his mate.
“Shi Yuan, what’s with your mood?” Zhou Mi’s voice beside him broke his reverie as he shifted his face to the other.
“Nothing, just remembered some annoying moments,” Siwon shrugged and grinned with a sip of his drink.
“You should learn to loosen up, boss. I’m going to dance,” Zhou Mi smiled his trademark smile before leaving the alpha alone.
Siwon could only shook his head as his weird pack members before he remembered what he was focusing on previously and whipped his head to the dance floor, but Kyuhyun was nowhere to be found. Siwon sighed, and drowned himself in more drinks.
•°•°•°
“I am going to dance,” Kyuhyun muttered to Changmin as he took a last sip of alcohol before standing up.
“I thought you can’t dance,” Changmin wiggled his eyebrow.
“I am not a full-time nerd, alright,” Kyuhyun rolled his eyes before leaving his friends and stepping on the dance floor.
He swayed his body to the music and blended in with the sweaty dancing body around him. It had been a very long time since he last danced in a club. He was only there for a few minutes when suddenly someone joined him, the other’s body moving so close behind him, and his hands hovering over kyuhyun’s hips as they swayed together.
Kyuhyun ignored the stranger; his wolf telling him to move away from the other, but Kyuhyun drowned the voice in the beat of the loud music, before something alerted his senses. Among the smell of cigarettes and beer, was the scent of an alpha. It was so strong. It was right behind him. In a blind of panic, Kyuhyun didn’t bother himself to turn backwards and instead sprinting away from the dance floor, he could call Changmin when he get back.
Passing the alpha on his way towards the front door won’t be a good idea, so Kyuhyun walked towards the back of the dancing floor and opened the back door in a hurry. The alley way beside the club was dark and cold. Kyuhyun tightened his jacket and all he wanted to do was to curl up and hide somewhere, but stopping right beside the club seemed like a really bad idea.
Kyuhyun tried to rub his nose to get rid of the alpha’s scent and tried very hard not to vomit right there. With wobbly steps, Kyuhyun walked along the dark humid alley way and quickened his pace when suddenly someone slammed him towards the cold wall, his mind blurring in pain for a second before he could registered who just assaulted him.
Blinking his eyes, Kyuhyun stared at the man in front of him, too scared to react. The man was much, much taller than he was, he could smell alcohol from the man.
“Is that how you treat an alpha?” the man growled, and it was when Kyuhyun realized that the man was controlled by his wolf, the taller’s eyes flashing red.
“I’m sorry,” Kyuhyun whimpered and bared his neck to show submission, hoping that the alpha will spare him.
“I won’t let you go that fast. You are packless and mateless,” the alpha grinned evilly before trapping Kyuhyun with both hands beside the omega’s head.
“I said I am sorry,” Kyuhyun growled lowly and felt his eyes flashing yellow, his wolf starting to take control.
The alpha growled louder, and his eyes turned red, and before Kyuhyun knew what his wolf was doing, Kyuhyun was already ducking pass the alpha’s arms and was sprinting down the alley, he felt his claws starting to form and he started feeling the pain of shifting.
As he felt his fur starting to grow, he was grabbed by his collar and was thrown towards the hard ground before feeling the man straddling him and strangling him, causing him to be unable to continue shifting.
“Let me go,” Kyuhyun growled as his eyes turned yellow and he trashed around.
“Not before I had my share with you,” the alpha smirked before tying up Kyuhyun’s wrists together and tying a cloth around the omega’s mouth to prevent noise. “I love it when they writhe and beg underneath me, but being loud here didn’t seem like a good option.”
Kyuhyun could only let whimpers and muffled shouts through the clothes, while trying to kick the werewolf on top of him.
“Now, now, stay still before I immediately ripped your throat,” the alpha squeezed Kyuhyun’s windpipe a little harder, causing him to choke with tears glazing over his eyes. “Such a pretty sight,” the alpha smirked and stroked Kyuhyun’s trembling cheek.
The alpha then proceeded to tear Kyuhyun’s thin shirt with a small pocketknife from his pocket, enjoying the way the omega trembled under his sharp glare. “Maybe you can be my mate, what do you think?”
Kyuhyun shook his head frantically as an answer, causing the man to narrow his eyes and roughly ripped away what remained of his black t-shirt. Kyuhyun closed his eyes, trying to ignore what was happening to him, which was really hard.
“Then just be my slave. I can satisfy you, you know. Going in heat without a mate is-Shit! What-“
Suddenly Kyuhyun felt the weight of the man being lifted up and the omega dared to open his eyes, only to see the man who hurt him writhing on the ground, blood all over him, with a huge black wolf above him, the canine’s mouth dripping blood. The man screamed and tried to crawl away, not before being bite on the stomach by the beast. The wolf howled and growled at the limping, running-away man before trotting towards Kyuhyun.
Kyuhyun stared at the wolf with wide eyes and slide on the ground backwards, until his back hit the wall behind. It was definitely not an ordinary wolf, it was a werewolf.
The werewolf lay on the ground and flattened himself before looking at Kyuhyun with, wait is that puppy eyes? Kyuhyun frowned and the wolf whined a little before crawling towards Kyuhyun, trying to prove that he was not a threat.
Kyuhyun sighed and motioned the wolf to approach him before putting his tied wrist in front of the wolf. The wolf bitted the cloth and licked on the red marks on his wrists. Kyuhyun muffled a call and the wolf took the hint and with his teeth, the beast tore away the cloth covering Kyuhyun’s mouth and licked the omega’s mouth in which Kyuhyun grimaced and pushed away the wolf.
“Thank you,” Kyuhyun smiled pathetically, letting himself tremble before he curl into a ball.
He felt the wolf soothing him and rubbed his face on Kyuhyun’s neck before settling down beside Kyuhyun, curling his tail around Kyuhyun’s back and his face nuzzling Kyuhyun’s head which was hidden by his hands. From his sobs, Kyuhyun could faintly heard the wolf whining and nuzzling even closer. It was then Kyuhyun could find himself relax and let the wolf lay around him. The scent of the wolf seemed familiar but Kyuhyun couldn’t think about it, but the scent soothed him and for once, he felt protected and safe, even though he was in a dark alley. Even though he was with an unknown huge wolf. And even though he was almost raped by an alpha. The creature he had always hated. Maybe it was the worst decision to move into the town when he was almost killed twice although he hadn’t even stayed for a month. But maybe it was a good time to forget about everything and drift off to sleep.
He had a wolf to protect him after all.
•°•°•°
The first thing Kyuhyun realized when he woke up was the scent around him. It was a scent he was familiar with but he couldn’t seem to name it. Second thing he realized was he wasn’t in his apartment, and it freaked him out. With a sudden movement, Kyuhyun sat up, immediately regretting it as his vision swarmed and his head throbbed. His hand shot out to his forehead which was wrapped with bandages.
“Be careful, Kyu,” Siwon’s face suddenly filled his sight and Kyuhyun grunted as the alpha helped him lean on the bedpost, offering the omega the drink, in which kyuhyun gratefully drank.
The alpha. Kyuhyun suddenly recalled what happened earlier and immediately coiled away from the alpha’s touch. The omega looked at the alpha and immediately felt guilty at the crestfallen face of the older.
“Are you alright? He didn’t hurt you any more, did you?” Siwon sat on the chair beside him and looked at him worriedly, although he kept a respectful distance and didn’t touch Kyuhyun again.
“I am fine,” Kyuhyun murmured, not looking at the other, before realizing that he was not wearing the clothes that he wore.
“Your shirt were torn and I, uh, borrowed you my clothes,” Siwon looked away and rubbed his nape.
“You are the wolf,” Kyuhyun stated as he looked at the alpha. For some reason, he wasn’t afraid of Siwon anymore.
“Yes, I am sor-“
“Don’t be. Thank you,” Kyuhyun spoke up and looked at the surprised Siwon.
“Kyu,” Siwon looked at Kyuhyun as if the omega just saved his life, not the other way around.
“Do you know why I am scared of alphas?” Kyuhyun surprised not only Siwon but himself too, as he broke the silence that started to cover the room.
“No, I don’t,” Siwon shook his head, not looking away from the omega.
“I was six when it happened. I lived in a small town on the outskirts of Gwangju with my parents and my older sister, we were all werewolves,” Kyuhyun started and paused to calm himself. “It was midnight when I woke up to the sounds of screams and roars. I peeked at the window beside my bed to see everything on fire,” Kyuhyun started to shake but he held out a hand to Siwon to stop the other from comforting him.
“I was alone in the bedroom I shared with my sister, since she and my parents were spending the night in my grandparents’ house since my grandfather was ill. I was supposed to go with them, but I was sick, so our neighbor, Dr. Min Ah, was the one to take care of me when my family was away.”
“I had no idea what happened, so I slowly walked out the room, only to see everything covered in blood,” Kyuhyun felt tears running down his face, but he didn’t made a move to wipe it. “The living room was a mess. There were around five werewolves in the living room; all of them were carrying swords and guns. The worst thing I saw though was my neighbor, the doctor...” Kyuhyun choked and started to sob, the memories he so desperately wanted to forget came rushing into his mind.
“It is fine if you do not want to remember or talk about it, Kyu,” Siwon cradled Kyuhyun as he stroked the omega's brown locks and rested Kyuhyun's head on the alpha's shoulder.
Kyuhyun shook his head before continuing.
"Her throat was slit and there was so much blood. The stench was so horrible. Dr. Min Ah's eyes were still open and she was choking terribly with blood running down her lips. I-I didn't..." Kyuhyun started to sob and hid his face on Siwon's neck and took a deep breath.
"I didn't understand back then, but I understood the look she gave me before dying. She asked me to hide, so I immediately ran back into my bedroom as quiet as I could. But... But one of the werewolves must have had heard me because once I locked the door, I heard footsteps hurrying towards my direction and there wasn't really any place to hide you know, so as a child, I hid in the most cliché place; the wardrobe. It was definitely the worst place to hide," Kyuhyun let out a humorless laugh as he wiped his tears and let Siwon held him.
"I hid among the piles of clothes and it wasn't even ten minutes later that the wardrobe's door suddenly flew open and there was an alpha right in front of me with a very long sword, stained with thick blood. The alpha's scent was sickening with a mix of blood. He had a deep long gash across his face and he smiled sinisterly at me," Kyuhyun trembled as he remembered the look of the alpha that haunted his life.
"He looked at me as a prey and he pulled me out from the hiding place and threw me across the room to my bed. I-It was scary. I tried to run away, but how can a pathetic little wolf fight an alpha. He grabbed at me and started tearing off my clothes," Kyuhyun trembled even harder and he felt Siwon's hold on him getting tighter and the older holding his breath.
"Did he-“
"No," Kyuhyun shook his head and smiled bitterly. "He didn't have the time to touch me further when the pack from the other town came to our rescue. The alpha was strike dead right above me, his foul blood splattering on me. It was horrible," Kyuhyun shook his head and muffled his whimper at Siwon's shoulder, feeling the other rubbing his back murmuring some encouraging words.
"I was then carried by a werewolf, who was Changmin's father, to their town. I didn't dare to open my eyes the moment we exited my house. But I can still hear growls and screams and the foul stench of blood mixing in the hot night air. I didn't even know why it happened," Kyuhyun stopped and calmed himself by leaning his head on Siwon's shoulder.
Siwon was looking at him with an unreadable expression and his brows furrowed. But Kyuhyun could feel anger, sad, and relieve from the alpha's scent.
"Did you know why your town was attacked?" Siwon asked after a long while of silence.
"They said the evil pack of wolves was trying to take over the city, but I didn't think it was all about that," Kyuhyun answered quietly. "Maybe I should have died that time. It would be better," Kyuhyun added with a wry smile.
"No. Do not say that," Siwon's stern voice surprised him and he looked up at the alpha for the first time since he was there. "You are lucky you lived, and because of that I got to meet you," Siwon hold the omega's chin so the younger was looking at him. Kyuhyun could see how serious and earnest the alpha was, and it made him happy and wanted. “I will protect you no matter what.”
"That is so cheesy you know, telling someone that when you only knew them for less than two weeks," Kyuhyun snorted and instantly he felt much better, although he wasn't sure if it was because he told someone about his traumatic past, or because it was Siwon.
"But I felt like I know you much longer, Kyu," Siwon looked at the tear-stained omega and smiles gently.
"Kyu?" Kyuhyun raised an eyebrow at the nickname with an amused smile.
"T-That, calling Kyuhyun is too long, don't you think?" Siwon looked away and looked embarrassed-which was cute.
Kyuhyun shook his head and hid a small smile before realizing their position and immediately leaned away from the alpha, feeling himself flushed.
Siwon seemed to realize it too and cleared his throat. "I-It is best if you sleep," the alpha helped Kyuhyun to lie back on the bed and covered him with the thick blanket.
"Where will you be sleeping?" Kyuhyun asked as he looked at Siwon when the taller turned off the light, the room only illuminated by the small lamp on the bedside table.
"I have a guest room," Siwon smiled and stood up, before Kyuhyun shot out a hand to prevent the other from walking away.
"Are you an idiot, letting me sleeping in your own room rather than the guest room? This was your bed after all," Kyuhyun mumbled without meeting Siwon's eyes as he slowly and gingerly scooted towards one side of the king-sized bed.
"Is it okay...?" Siwon widened his eyes and slowly started to smile. Kyuhyun mentally slapped himself and his wolf that they thought the smile was charming.
Kyuhyun just buried himself under the blanket to hide his blushing face. Soon, he felt the space beside him dipped and he smiled before covering his eyes.
"Good night, Kyuhyun."
"I didn't forbid you from calling me Kyu.”
“Good night, Kyu.”
Kyuhyun soon drifted off to sleep, although he was so sure Siwon mumbled something before he fell asleep. Something along the lines of I am serious about protecting you forever, Kyu.
