Chapter 6

An Alpha's Struggle

Youngjae and Jooheon didn't mind integrating Kisu into their lives as more time passed. Jimin was including Cory in more activities, even going as far as inviting Cory to the lake when he needed to be away from the pack house for a bit. Kihyun had protested, but eventually let it go, seeing that Jimin did need time from the house. Jimin made up for it for other things anyway, but they had to make sure the others weren't home when they were doing other things.

"Jimin-ah," whined Kihyun as Jimin was about to drag Cory out the back door again. "What?" Asked Jimin as he turned to Kihyun. "Are you jealous? It's an open invitation," he said with a chuckle as he turned and kissed Kihyun who moved back, his face red from blushing. Cory scratched the back of his head. "You guys get all the time in the world to yourselves when we're off shopping anyway," he said, laughing at Jimin's and Kihyun's blushing.

"My god," said Kisu as he came over with Hui, dragging Youngjae and Jooheon with him. "You three are just as bad as Jeonguk and Changsun are with Jinhong," he said, chuckling. "So are you," Cory said in Korean, smirking at Kisu's offended expression as he lightly punched Cory in the arm. "I'm not as bad as those three are!" Kisu yelled in Korean before dragging Youngjae and Jooheon out the back door to go running, Hui following after them with a shake of his head.

Jimin gave Cory a questioning look. "Don't worry about it," said Cory as he turned to Kihyun. "You are free to join us," he said. "As Jimin said, it's an open invitation," he said before he left out the back door with Jimin running after him. Kihyun let out a sigh before going out after them to make sure Jimin didn't get Cory into trouble.

Jimin's dark grey wolf form with white paws jumped in front of Kihyun, causing Kihyun to jump back and yell in surprise as he fell onto his back. "Damn it Jimin!" Kihyun said with a breathy laugh as Jimin stood over him, giving a wolfy grin. "Where's Cory?" He asked as he scratched Jimin behind the ears. "Over here," came Cory's reply as he walked over. "He wanted to surprise you," he said with a chuckle. Kihyun laughs as Jimin got off him. He sat up, scratching Jimin behind the ears again before standing and brushing off his pants.

"Well, want to go for a run?" Asked Cory. "That's what we came out here for," he said. "Sure," said Kihyun as he nodded. Cory disappeared behind a tree to strip and change, Kihyun doing the same thing. Cory's tan wolf form stepped out from behind a tree as Kihyun did the same thing, his dark brown wolf form shaking out his fur. Jimin wagged his tail before he ran off, with Cory and Kihyun running after him.

They were soon joined by Hui's small silver colored wolf form, Kisu's ash grey wolf form running behind him. Youngjae's white with a patch of grey fur on his back wolf form soon appeared with Jooheon's dark chocolate colored wolf form running beside him.

It soon became a race for Kihyun and Cory as they raced ahead, sprinting forward and dodging trees left and right. Kihyun knew the area while Cory had to rely on his line of sight as to not crash head first into a tree as they raced to the lake.

Kihyun skidded to a stop as he heard gun shots, managing to grab Cory by the tail and yank him backwards to stop him from crashing head first into a tree. The others stopped just a few feet away, wary of the new sounds as Jimin sniffed the air.

Everyone turned to Jimin to see what he would do, as they heard footsteps come towards them. Jimin let loose a howl as he lifted his snout towards the sky. The others joined him, joining in with their own howls.

Jimin would stand and fight, this was their territory after all. He stood his ground as some human hunters came into view. He lowered his head, growling at the hunters. "Didn't think there were wolves out here," said one. "Neither did I, scared all the deer away," said the other. Jimin had relaxed his tense stance, if only slightly when he realized they were only deer hunters. "They don't seem like they'd hurt us," said the first hunter. "Well no duh, as long as we don't hurt them we'll be fine," said the other. "Nice wolves," said the first hunter. "We'll leave you be now," he said before running off with his friend going after him.

Jimin didn't take any chances after that, he took off in the direction of home, the others quickly following after him. Youngjae, Jooehon, Hui and Kisu made a small detour to grab their clothes before meeting the others back home. Cory, Jimin and Kihyun ran back to the spot where they had changed to grab their clothes and change back to human form. They quickly got dressed and ran back to the house.

"We were so lucky that they were just deer hunters," said Kihyun as he entered the house with Jimin and Cory following behind him. "I know you were ready to fight but they had guns," he said, turning to Jimin. "I was in a fight or flight situation," mumbled Jimin. "And my body told me to fight," he said, sighing.

"You nearly got us killed!" Said Youngjae as he walked into the room with Jooheon, Kisu and Hui. "If those were werewolf hunters they would've killed us on the spot, no werewolf hunter would put two and two together and realize who's territory this is," said Youngjae.

"Actually," said Cory. "I believe werewolf hunters avoid territories that belong to packs that either work for Kris or have vampire hunters in them," he said. "Well, unless it's iKon, but they're different," he said. "Cory has a point," said Kisu as he scratched the back of his head. "This is a forested area, we're bound to run into deer hunters," said Jimin. "Didn't deer hunting season start last week?" Asked Kihyun. Jooheon nodded. "I checked online yesterday," he said.

"Looks like we need to be even more careful now," said Jimin as he sighed. "No more racing you two," he said to Kihyun and Cory. "Alright," said Kihyun. Cory nodded. "When are you due for missions anyway?" Asked Youngjae. "Me? Not anytime soon," said Jimin. "I think I'm on leave since I'm standing alpha with foreign wolves in the pack until Changkhyun gets back with Jungkook," he said. Kihyun sighed. "Well, let's get dinner worked on," he said to change the subject before he went into the kitchen to start on dinner. The others went into the living room to relax a bit, Jimin and Cory going into the kitchen to help Kihyun.
