Prologue.
“I’m going to catch you, Dyo!” Jongin yelled, chasing the other young wolf as they ran through the woods where their pack lived. Kyungsoo, who was running a few feet ahead of the other boy, just laughed and dodged trees as they came into a field. “Nah, you’re too slow, silly!” Kyungsoo yelled back as he broke through the tree line. Jongin was catching up to the other, and just as he thought he reached the younger boy the other suddenly turned and rolled out of his reach.
Not to be outdone, Jongin pushes himself harder to catch the other. Kyungsoo looks back for a second and realizes too late that the other had caught up, and within a second Jongin had tackled him to the ground. They rolled for a moment, Jongin shielding Kyungsoo’s body with his own, and they came to a halt with Kyungsoo snugly trapped under Jongin.
“I finally caught you,” Jongin panted out, and he leaned down to nuzzle the other boy’s neck. Kyungsoo pouted, but he soon smiled and tried to push the other away playfully. “That tickles!” Kyungsoo laughed as Jongin’s hair tickled his neck and ears. Jongin kept nuzzling, easily resisting the other’s attempts to push him away. Kyungsoo gave a harder push, and Jongin rolled with it, pulling Kyungsoo over to straddle his hips. Kyungsoo looked innocently down at the other, twining his fingers with Jongin’s.
“You promise you’ll always be with me?” Kyungsoo asked. Jongin looked up at him, pulling one of his hands to his chest, to rest over his heart. “Do you feel that, Dyo?” he asked, watching as the other closed his eyes. “You’re the reason my heart beats. You’re my mate. I’ll love and protect you forever.”
Kyungsoo’s smile was so brilliant, that Jongin knew it would be burned into his memory forever. “Yeah, I’ll love and protect you forever too!” Kyungsoo replied, and he laid down, his head over Jongin’s heart. They both closed their eyes, falling into an easy sleep filled with dreams of their future.

Jongin woke up suddenly, his nose filling with the smell of smoke. He sat up, cradling the other boy to his chest. He looked around, seeing the plumes of smoke rising from the woods. It took him a moment to realize that the smoke was coming from the direction of their home, their pack. “Dyo, Kyungsoo wake up!” Jongin yelled, shaking the other awake. Kyungsoo’s eyes opened wide, and he looked panicked as he took in the scent of burning wood. Jongin stood up quickly, pulling Kyungsoo with him. “We have to go help them!” Jongin yelled, taking off at a run towards their pack home. Kyungsoo followed after his mate, worried at what they might find. They both ran as fast as they could, narrowly missing trees and roots that might slow their path. What they found when they reached their home was utter destruction.
Kyungsoo barely held in a pained howl when he saw his home, the many homes of his pack all burning before his eyes. Jongin screamed in rage and horror, as he saw several of their fellow wolves dead before them. His nose burned with the smell of wolfbane, and Kyungsoo knew in that moment that he and his mate needed to leave. As he reached for Jongin he felt something smash into the back of his head, sending him flying to the ground. He barely caught the masked faces of his assailants before he blacked out.
Jongin turned around at the sound of the blow, and came face to face with two masked men. One was standing over Kyungsoo, and his mate wasn’t moving. The tallest of the men stood over his mate, and the other reached for him, grabbing him around his neck easily when he tried to run. Jongin choked on the intense scent of wolfbane coming from the man, his eyes watering as his hands came up to grab at the hands around him. Jongin struggled to breathe as the man pulled him closer, looking at his face.
“Hey boss, I think this itty bitty wolf could catch us a pretty dime! Don’t you think so?” The man holding Jongin asked. The other man just let out a slight “Mhmm” and nudged Kyungsoo with his foot. “I think I might have killed this one,” The taller man replied. Jongin felt his eyes widen, and in a desperate attempt to get free lashed out with his claws. He felt resistance and realized that he had sliced the other’s mask away, looking into the face of his captor. Jongin felt the face burn into his memory as he was overtaken by the other.
“Why you little…!” The man yelled, grabbing Jongin’s hand and twisting it sharply to the side. Jongin felt his wrist snap, and his vision went white with pain. He barely had a moment before his captor squeezed his neck harder, cutting off his airway. He could hear the two men talking, but he couldn’t make out what they were saying as his vision began to darken. It was only a moment before he was lost to unconsciousness.
