*** Logically speaking, for most people, walking into a deserted place such as a dark mansion in the woods was a really, really, foolish thing to do, especially when you are a girl surrounded by a pack of wolves, not to mention one that you only meet less than 24 hours ago. But well, I guess being logical wasn’t  even in my dictionary to begin with. I felt closer to the pack than I ever be to other people, this like with JongIn all over again,   “enjoying the match?”,

 

I turn my head slightly when I heard the angelic voice behind me and a gentle smiling face greeted my sight, making me couldn’t help but smiled back in return. Gosh, how perfect this boy could be?,

 

The Alpha, the pack leader or Kim JoonMyeon -which is the way he introduced himself to me by the way- took an empty spot beside me as he inhale the fresh air of dawn while I observe his side profile. Apparently, the scary Alpha that KyungSoo, ChanYeol and BaekHyun told me about all the while we make our way to the mansion earlier was far from scary, well I’ve been imagining a scary buff guy with tattoo, battle scar and constantly snarling face in between their story, shivering in horror when being told about how the man became the pack Alpha. By ripping his opponent heads off with his bare hands, and that’s happen when he’s nothing but a 10 years old werewolf cub. Try to imagine a barely grown up boy making a killing frenzy, tearing a fully grown up man body with ease to claim his place as an Alpha, its scary as , and disturbing of course,

 

But all my wild imagination turn out to be a mere paranoid thought when I finally stood face to face with the said Alpha. He’s nothing like I’ve imagined he would be. No tattoos and battle scars, instead, he has a skin as smooth as a baby skin, with a slight tinge of sun burn, making them looked healthy and delicious looking -well not as much as JongIn’s skin did though, I still think his caramel skin the most delicious looking of all, ugh what am I spurting non sense here?-. And of course, to top it all, no snarling, scowling or whatever I imagined painted on his face, he has a face that only existed in a finest art sculptures, high cheeks bone and pointy nose, not too full but perfect shaped lips, thick eyebrows and oh please don’t make me start with those pair of dimples that constantly showing whenever he smile. I always have a weakness for dimples, that’s why I found myself occasionally swooning over NamJoon’s whenever he parading around with his dimples. They’re just too adorable,

 

Shaking my head slightly, I take a deep breath and let out a puff of cloudy air out of my mouth, its nearing winter already and the weather was freezing. JoonMyeon angelic face turn sour for a little bit when he saw me rubbing each of my side up and down trying to find some heat as I hug myself, turning back to watch the three wolves fooling around at the backyard from the balcony we stood on all along,

 

“its freezing cold out here and yet you didn’t even bring anything warm with you, what are you? An idiot?” he scolded, shaking his head at me before pulling his sweater off from his body and I couldn’t help but ogling the fine muscles that flexed under those layers of clothes. Dang, why’d this wolves are so toned? Is it in their genes or something?. I wonder how hot the female would like,

 

I grinned sheepishly when JoonMyeon handed me his sweater then proceed to wear them, mouthing my thanks to him which is answered with a slight ‘hmpfh’, “how about you oppa?” I ask after making sure the big sweater covered me perfectly and JoonMyeon chuckled when he heard my question then reach to ruffled my head “most girl will ask the question first before wearing them but you just went and wear them without even asking about me, are you usually this cold?” he teased. I scoff at his words, swatting his hand away from my bangs,

 

“that’s only happen in a drama and I’m no drama girl, I safe myself first then other, besides, how would you safe other people when you can’t even safe yourself first, sorry but that’s how life work out” I stated while look forward towards the rising sun as its warm light illuminating the earth. JoonMyeon nods his head in agreements once and look at me with something that seems like proudness flashing in his eyes momentarily before the looks disappeared even before I fully saw them. I shake the thought, why would he proud of me? We just meet today. I let out a big yawn, maybe the tiredness get in to me and messing with my mind,

 

JoonMyeon grinned before following my gaze, watching the wolves back now, “as the youngest, Oh Sehun form sure is big, isn’t he?” I muttered in amazement as I observe the white attic wolf rolling on the ground with my soul seeker in his wolf form so fast that they become nothing but a black and white blur before JongIn’s brown fur joined the two. Three of them looked so into their fight play to even spare a single glance towards their spectators. I sweat dropped when I saw BaekHyun and ChanYeol put a bet on which wolf would get their head bitten first while KyungSoo shake his head in disbelief beside them,

 

“well, he’s the second biggest in par with JongIn in the pack, ChanYeol not so far behind them” JoonMyeon commented with a thoughtful hand on his chin as he observe his dongsaeng. I frowned, “whose the biggest then?”, but well, even without him confirming it, I think I could perfectly guess who it is,

 

JoonMyeon smirked playfully, smug looks on his handsome face as he turn his face at me “who do you  think?”. I roll my eyes at his obvious cockiness and push him away with a groan “of course you are,”,

 

He laughed at this while I continue to observe Sehun and as if he felt my gaze, the turn his big head and focused his two passionate blue eyes at me. I gasped when I saw the big bright orbs, indeed, werewolves eyes were naturally blue in their wolf form, but Sehun eyes looked deeper and kind, childish and full of mischief, the kind that you’ll find in a children eyes. Totally reflecting -from what I've seen- his personality. I immediately taken aback by him when he introduced himself to me earlier, despite of his towering figure maturity and seemingly permanent poker face, I could see the boy inside him as well as his nervousness when meeting me. In other words, not only gorgeous, he’s drop dead adorable as well!,

 

I giggled when Nox tackled Sehun to the ground and we watch the wolves in peaceful silent before a sudden thought dawned upon me out of the blue when JongIn pounce on unguarded Nox to safe Sehun. I turn my head to JoonMyeon,

 

“I’ve been having this thought for a while now and haven’t been able to ask JongIn myself, but I guess as his Alpha, asking from you would do too,” light frown formed on my forehead as I meet my gaze with JoonMyeon calm one before continue “JongIn seems know about Grim Reaper awfully well, too well for my liking, heck I even catch him commented about my mother few times only to shrugs them when I ask for more, tell me, did he, no, did you guys know my mother personally?”,

 

JoonMyeon look at me for almost half a minute with unreadable face before turn away, I just about protested when he answered me “JongIn didn’t tell you that we’re a pack of nomaden wolves?”. My frowns deepened at this “well, he did mentioned it once I guess but what’s the-”. JoonMyeon cut my words,

 

“we were born and trained in the Reaper empire, hundreds years ago”,

 

What?

 

“well, its not like we have meet her personally or something but your mother was a well known person there, there’s no way someone didn’t know about her” he added with a shrugs while I watch him with hanging jaw. They’re from Reaper empire?! And why did JongIn hide this from me?! Oh that idiot have plenty of explanation to do after this!,

 

“planning on killing JongIn yet?” JoonMyeon voice brought me back and I pouted as I took the amused looks on his face, “don’t stop me” I growled. The Alpha laughed as he put his hands infront of his chest in surrendering gesture and I huffed, crossing my arms “I’ll kill him later but now, you said that my mother was a well known person, who is she? Why did you said there’s no way for people to not know her, why is that?”,

 

At my flowing questions, JoonMyeon smirked “would you like to know by yourself?” he said and the frown formed back on my forehead, “what’d you mean?”,

 

“well, why don’t you come with us the next time we come back to the Reaper empire?”,

 

My eyes rounded at this. Me? To the Reaper empire? The one that told to be long gone millennia ago? Oh wow. JoonMyeon smiled at my excited expression before lift an eyebrow when he saw my bright face dropped as after a short second,

 

“what?” he ask. I pouted while stomping my foot once like a child throwing tantrums and JoonMyeon watch me with amusements in his eyes,

 

I can’t leave, not when I’m still tied to the Royals, my mates, and I’m the heiress. I let out a soft growls while bring my hand to touch the stone that dangling on my neck, feeling its  soft surface with the tip of my fingers. Ugh, I hate you, you ty stone,

 

“as much as I really wants to come with you guys, I can’t” I began, tugging on the stone and JoonMyeon trailed his gaze towards my hand and his eyes hardened, all warm and gentle feelings around him suddenly gone, replaced by cold and distance feels that send shivers down my spine at how terrifying his aura now,  and that’s how I see the scary Alpha that his pack members scarred of. His aura was no joke at all, anybody would intimidated by just standing near him,

 

“I can’t leave my mates behind,” I paused to look at him and open my mouth to continue my words but he cut me “mates?” he ask in a dangerously low tone as he throw me cold looks,

 

“JongIn never said about you having mates at all, I thought you hate being the Vampire heiress” he ask again, clearly growling now as he squinted his eyes at me. I panicked inside when I saw his eyes flickered blue. Great, now you make a freaking Alpha mad JooYeon, great!,

 

“well, um, I do hates being the heiress at first, I hates the Royals as well but I thinking about a new start of all things and accepting them already, JongIn never said anything about it?” I unsurely answered, JoonMyeon snarled at my answer before the double door behind us slammed open and five boys -plus Nox- came rushing, eyes widen in alarm as they look at me and their leader back and forth before JongIn out of reflex grab my wrist to distancing me from the seemingly fuming  Alpha. JoonMyeon sure is looked mad right now as he throw us deathly glares, JongIn grip tightened around my wrist as he push me behind his back,

 

Uh, I’ll worry about my own neck if I were you JongIn

 

“JooYeon”, I freeze at the mention of my name before peeked from JongIn back while the boys turn rigid at the stern voice their Alpha use, “yes oppa?” I squeaked. He didn’t even shift his gaze from the younger boy as he continue “why don’t you go sleep? The sun has rise and you have school this afternoon, we’ll talk about this some other time, I have something to discuss with JongIn” he stated flatly and I almost felt like a little girl being scolded by her father at the tones he use, holding my tongue from countering the order I decided to just squeezed JongIn’s arm once before turn to walk back into the mansion, throwing a w
