++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Jaejoong ran.
His harsh breaths filled his ears, and he tried to focus on the sound of it, rather then the noises his pursuers made. Their raucous calls were loud in the still forest, their heavy footfalls and clumsy movements out of place in the peacefulness of the night.
“C’mon pretty boy! Don’t run from us!” The call was so fake Jaejoong screwed up his face in distaste, even as he pushed on faster, not liking how close they sounded. He dodged through the trees, not daring to look back.
“There’s no where to go, boy. Unless you want to be eaten by the wolves. I’m sure they’d find you a tasty treat.” The other man yelled out, both of them laughing cruely. The loud crack of a branch underfoot startled Jae like a gunshot, and he bit his lip hard.
Damn these brutes…! Vulger, disgusting, vile barbarians. As if he’d roll over and let them so much as touch him. Drunk on mead and their own egos, they thought to catch themselves a little playmate for the night. Jaejoong had been caught unawares near the edge of town, and while he’d managed to escape at first, the men had a lot more determination then he would have credited them with.
He burst out from a thicket of trees into a relative clearing, the high-hung moon shining down on him. Something rustled in the bushes nearby, the shadows gathering, and Jaejoong let out a sigh of relief. His run slowed, and he stopped, turning back to see his pursuers.
“Ah, good boy…! Don’t want to get et by them nasty wolves, do you now? We’ll protect you…” The bigger one said with a leer as they both emerged into the moonlight. They slunk forward purposefully towards Jaejoong, thinking they had him cornered now.
Jaejoong curled his lip, narrowing his eyes at them.
“I don’t fear the wolves. But you should.” His voice was hard, his stance strong. One of the men laughed at his bravado, but Jaejoong just sneered at him.
“Such fire, pretty! But you’ve no where to run now.” The smaller man said, both of them steadily approaching the slim boy. They paused however when the dark, shadowed greenery behind him moved, shifiting more then the light wind accounted for. Blinking, they both looked around, and noticed that the shadows seemed to be moving all around them.
Jaejoong smiled, almost devilish.
“Yes. No where to run at all.” He said, stepping backwards.
As he did so, one of the shadows detached itself, moving into the clearing and prowling forward to wind around Jaejoong’s legs. Its face was trained on the two men, yellow-gold eyes glistening with violence, and its lips curled back to reveal a set of very white, very sharp teeth. A low growl came from behind the wolf’s bared teeth, its head lowering to hang down menacingly.
One of the men let out a yelp, jumping backwards at the sight of the massive animal.
“Fuck! What the fuck is that! It’s fucking huge!” He cried, scrambling back. A growl from behind him sent him careering forward again, spinning around to see another wolf, only slightly smaller then the first, pacing back and forth behind them. Looking around, the men could see yellow eyes peering at them from all sides, the shifting moonlight beginning to reveal their forms.
“Who’s afraid of the big bad wolf now?” Jaejoong’s sweet voice taunted them, and the terrified men turned to see him still standing with the huge silver wolf, his fingers buried casually in its pelt.
“Call them off! Call them off!” The big one squealed, wide eyes darting around the clearing in terror.
“Oh fuck, oh fuck!” The other one was mumbling over and over as he swivelled around, backing into his partner.
“Can’t.” Jaejoong replied almost cheerfully. “I don’t control them. And even if I did I don’t think I would. Tsk, you should have listened to the elders. When they said ‘stay out of the woods’, you should have. When they said, ‘don’t anger the wolves’, you really should have.” He said. “And trying to hurt what is theirs angers them greatly.”
The low rumbling from the wolves around them got a bit louder, cementing into growls. The large silver one snapped its teeth at the pair of men once before winding around Jaejoong once more. Suddenly, something shifted, and the silver wolf elongated, shooting up until seconds later a tall man was standing in its place. His hard, angry face looked the astonished, frozen men up and down, and he growled warningly at them.
He then turned, looking at a now placid Jaejoong and stepping into the boy’s personal space, burying his face into Jaejoong’s neck and nuzzling at him, sniffing over the pale, soft skin and smelling the sweat from his running and the remnants of fear that clung to his skin. Letting out an angry snarl, he crushed Jaejoong to him, bringing him under the large silver pelt that now hung from his shoulders like a cape and holding him protectively.
The man-wolf’s eerie golden eyes snapped to the men, his teeth bared.
“You die tonight.” He snarled at the two humans, icy anger inflaming the words and sending them both scrambling at each other in the middle of the clearing, scared witless. The pair of men looked to the only other human there, eyes pleading with the boy to do something, anything, to spare them.
Jaejoong just cuddled into the warmth of his mate, shooting the men a cool, satisfied smirk from under his lashes as the man-wolf turned them away; his pale pretty face that spelled their downfall only visible for a second before the darkness enveloped them, leaving the men alone in a clearing full of enraged wolves with an order to kill.
As screams rang through the once peaceful night, a little further away under a huge old oak, Jaejoong wrapped his arms around the neck of his lover and opened his mouth to a deep, loving kiss. Some moments later, they reluctantly pulled apart and the man shifted until a huge silver wolf was left in his place. Jaejoong smiled, climbing onto the wolf’s back and tangling his hands into the soft thick fur around its neck.
He whispered something into the wolf’s ear, and the pair took off, darting through the forest like ghosts in the pale light of the moon.
