Chapter 1
The whole time he spent on the plane was like hell his mind kept on playing dirty games for him making him even more anxious, on one side he was extremely excited to meet with his family again, ever since when he moved for college he barely got any time to even be back and as soon as his father told him he needed some help with the herb, he couldn’t help but to agree right away not thinking clearly since the only thing he wanted was to be back home, you could say his inner wolf needed to be back with his family, yet... he was scared, he left because he felt like a complete weirdo. His parents never made it hard for him to understand how he was different, he never thought it would be much of a problem, sure he couldn’t get other people’s scent it didn’t really bother him, he actually thought that help his sense of smell since he could get things from longer distances than others, it was great until little by little every single friend he had started meeting their “mate” something they could know only by their scent, as soon as they cross paths they know it, sadly for him it was something impossible to find, he understood it yet he couldn’t help but get excited the first time he confused the smell of something else by someone’s scent it was embarrassing at the moment so he tried to forget about it and just face the fact that he will have to live this way, never knowing if he has a mate, every single time he got the smell of perfume, smoke, food, sweets... all of them were like hell since he could get that whenever someone ate or smoke, anything, yet he knew it wasn’t their actual scent… it wasn’t his mate and he knew it would never be the same, that poor inner wolf always made sure to keep that clear. At some point feeling left out, he couldn’t help but think that running away was the best option and he didn’t regret it, things back there were completely different from how it worked in the city, over there he met so many different creatures and persons which none really care or even notice his... “problem”.
The lady’s voice over the speaker brought his mind back and as he looked through the window he realized there was no way back, the plane was about to land and all of a sudden he started getting anxious again as some bad memories came back and the loneliness he felt was awful even worse than the first week he started living in the city, he covered his mouth and start breathing deeply since he felt like puking and he knew he truly needed to calm down.
As everyone started leaving the plane he didn’t bother to move, he stayed in place practicing some old breathing exercises to calm down as he played a list of the positive things of been back in his mind. After realizing the plane was almost empty he took his bags not so ready to finally leave his seat, as he turned his phone a sudden text from his father showed up on the screen telling him his ride was waiting for him already, he decided to play dumb and look around the airport and getting some snacks and stuff as a “present” or it was more like his way to try and get ready for what was about to come. Fifteen minutes later and he knew he couldn’t keep on playing dumb anymore at least if he wanted to make it home today, so he tightened the hold on the straps of his bag and slowly walked towards the main gate stopping to take a deep breath and cheering himself up thinking of how expensive it will be to get a plane ticket back all of a sudden plus his room will be used by a friend of his roommate for at least a month so it will be useless to try and go back, closing his eyes as he exhaled relaxing a little he walked past the main gate not feeling like opening them since he was sure the excitement from his brother would be enough to bring him back to reality yet there was none and it made him remembered his father said his “ride” which probably meant a stranger...
-You look stupid like that- that deep voice sent chills through his whole body bringing back the anxiousness that took him so long to get rid of in just a second, this was the worst welcome back gift he could get to the point he thought of how it would be so much better to get that ticket back to the city before it could get worse -you know that I can see you right?- that teasing laugh was more than enough to realize he was right and even so he had no other choice than to open his eyes slowly trying to not get blinded by the sunlight, or more like in a way to avoid meeting gazes with the owner of that deep annoying voice
-What are you doing here?- dark brown eyes were staring right back at him, he was close or at least enough for Wonwoo to realize how taller he got and even notice some tiny scars on his face probably from a fight he thought, he remembered how back in high school rumors of his bad attitude were usually heard which only made him more popular, something quite stupid considering that he knew how he is yet he also knew he wouldn’t fight without an actual good reason…
-Chill princess, it’s not as if coming to pick you up was the first thing I wanted to do with my free time- Mingyu said as he crossed his arms stepping back not breaking the eye contact
Mingyu, Kim Mingyu, for some reason ever since high school their relationship was never the best, he would always be a pain in the ass for Wonwoo, pretty much ever since they met things never worked between them and having friends in common made it hard for them to avoid each other. Around the time he started high school a huge rumor was heard around town, something about a stranger been seen near the limits of the district, of course, his father as the main alpha of district seven made sure to look upon it but never mentioned anything instead all of a sudden Mingyu started showing up at school and later on the topic was dropped since he wasn’t considered any threat for anyone. It didn’t take long for him to realize Mingyu was a flirt always feeling like some sort of Greek god, sure he was handsome he wouldn’t deny it yet his self-centered attitude made Wonwoo sick plus the fact that he had the worst habit ever, always smelling like cigarettes which would sometimes make him feel dizzy and even if he could deal with that it always felt as is Mingyu knew how annoying he was and just kept on bothering him, as if making him angry made him happy, that was definitely the worst. He knew his father was training him to become the main Alpha, the leader, that was something everyone agreed on, he wanted to run away from this life and his brother was never interested either so none of them wanted the job yet he never thought he would be the one picking him from the airport, just how close did he got to his family for them to trust him their son?
-Hurry up I don’t want to spend any more time here- Mingyu’s voice brought him back as he walked away, something it took him a while to get but as soon as he did, he took his suitcase and hurried behind the taller
It had to be a god damn joke, not only did the first familiar face he had to see was the only person he couldn’t deal with for long, but that idiot thought it will be a great idea to pick him up in nothing else but his motorcycle! Wonwoo froze for a second thinking of a way to avoid this at all cost, never in his whole life he has traveled in a motorcycle and he definitely didn’t trust the younger enough to risk his life with it
-What about my suitcase? - he asked firmly not wanting to let him know how scared he actually was
-Well what do you think the sidecar is for? - he said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world
-A...and what...- he couldn’t even think of a way to ask
-What? Are you nervous of being that close to me?- his voice tone got quite low as he walked closer to him -Did you forget that we have been closer than that?- he stopped close enough for the older to feel his breath and get the whole smoke smell back -Should I help you to remember?- he whispered and that was enough for Wonwoo’s body to react pushing him back quite hard which made people look back probably thinking a fight was about to start
-Annoying, just take me home already- his reaction only made him smile showing his perfect fangs as he let a soft laugh slip
Wonwoo was shaking holding way too strong on the back, he wouldn’t give the younger the pleasure of hugging him or leading this into any unnecessary physical touch yet when they pass over a hole making him jump, he couldn’t help but hold Mingyu’s jacket thigh scared of falling
-You know, it will be easier if you just hugged me- even though he couldn’t see his face he knew for sure he was smiling, and he wouldn’t give him the pleasure
-No thanks, I don’t plan on getting any closer to your disgusting self-
-If you are so sure...- the younger said before speeding up which scared him more, yet he was way too stubborn to let him win
As soon as they made it to his parent’s house he made sure to get his suitcase and hurried to knock on the door wanting to get rid of Mingyu as soon as possible, sadly it seemed that no one was home so he gave up and sat in front of the door knowing he would have to wait for a while yet for his surprise Mingyu was already there looking back at him smiling after making eye contact, the younger walked closer his smile getting bigger the closer he got as if he was making fun of him
-Are you planning on staying there?- he asked passing him and heading towards the door
-Well I don’t see anyone opening the door so...- he answered annoyed wishing for him to leave
-I see you haven’t changed a thing since you left- Min commented smiling as he took some keys from his pocket opening the front door confusing the older but something told him he didn’t want to know -Princess...- he said as he stepped back to let him in first
-Stop calling me that, I thought you would have grown up by now- he stopped in the middle of the first floor looking around, nothing has changed at all and he just felt like home which made his inner wolf excited for
-Well I missed some years of teasing you, may as well get a payback- annoying as usual Wonwoo thought as he rolled his eyes in response even though Mingyu was talking to him it seemed that most of his attention was over a piece of paper he just found -Do you remember where your room was or should I help you with that too?- he asked finally folding the paper and saving it in his back pocket
Wonwoo only rolled his eyes and walked upstairs heading to his old room with excitement, throwing himself over his old bed once he made it, he was glad his parents didn’t change a thing or turned it into a storage room even though he said he would never be back, he hugged his pillow and felt the old and familiar scent he missed for years
-Wow and I’m supposed to be the childish one?- and just like that his whole excitement disappeared
-Why are you still here?- he asked as he walked closer to the door in a way to block it from the younger
-Well I was curious of how your room actually looks like- he said trying to take a peek from what Wonwoo couldn’t cover
-Don’t you need to get back to your loner home or go out with some poor idiot?- he took the door trying to close it as he kept on the conversation
-What are you talking about?- the younger asked truly confused by the comment
-You know your good old place where the old man found you... your “lovely home”- his answered confused him more but as soon as he realized what was going on Mingyu couldn’t help but smile about it
-Oh yeah… I have things to do anyway I just thought the so said son of Mr. Jeon was nice enough to thank his driver- he teased as he lay on the door’s frame
-Whatever, Thanks for that, next time I will make sure to take a cab-
-Then why you didn’t?- and the fear of realization could be seen in his face feeling trapped for real, Mingyu’s smile grew wider as he checked him out slowly making Wonwoo feel extremely aware of his body which he hated for some reason
-Take a picture already! They last longer- he said louder than expected, hoping his nervousness wasn’t shown on his voice tone
-I might as well do...- he said his tone lower than before, enough to be considered a whisper -either way, I’m leaving- and all of a sudden it was all back to “normal” with him been a ball of nerves while Mingyu only smile like usual -you truly need to talk with your parents- he said letting a mocking grin appear on his face before he started walking away
-Of course, I will! That’s none of your business!- he said thinking of how probably staying quiet wasn’t a bad decision now
Wonwoo hurried and lock his door letting himself drop on the floor right next to it completely nervous, thinking of how from everything his parents told him as a kid he didn’t learn a thing... He was lowkey afraid of Mingyu he had to admit, mostly since not only did he could never get other’s scent but his own scent will be twice stronger which in his parents words as an Omega it would only attract others more, mainly Alphas and it could get dangerous if any of them were on heat and somehow got the smell of his scent, he never worried about it, most of his friends were in healthy relationships already marked which made other’s scent, less attractive than their partners... sadly Mingyu was pretty much the only Alpha he knew who haven’t met his mate yet and the fact that he was an extremely annoying flirt could only freak him out, trying to calm a little he headed towards his bed the tiredness from the flight finally hitting his body making him fall deeply asleep.
