Some light knocks could be heard on his door. Taehyung groaned. Being a werewolf, he didn’t feel the full effect of the hangout he’d surely be experiencing if he was a human, however he still felt under the wheatear.

Pushing his sheets aside to go unlock the door, he couldn't stifle the loud groan that left his lips again. He ruffled his hair and opened the door, letting the light blind him for a couple of seconds. He couldn’t really see who it was for a moment, but from the scent he could smell, he knew it was Seokjin at his door.

 

“Oh, I see you’re up! I didn’t want to wake you up”. Taehyung clearly heard sarcasm in his hyung's voice, but he couldn’t really pinpoint what he could have done to piss him up early in the morning. He wasn’t’ even awake until 30 seconds ago.

 

“Yeah, you did it anyways”, Taehyung yawned. “What do you need?”, he asked as he stretched his arms and back.

 

“I want to talk to you about something, but since I see you have some… nice company in here, I’ll tell you later. Take a shower and accompany this girl to the door before you come to talk to me. You smell like , by the way”, Seokjin told him scrunching his nose. “I want you to be in my room in fifteen minutes tops, so make it quick”. Seokjin glared one last time in the direction of the girl, who was now waking up, and left.

 

Taehyung grunted as a replay and closed the door behind his back. He smelled his arm, trying to understand what kind of smell Jin found disgusting, but he could only smell his sweat, the girl’s sweat and …oh. Perhaps now he knew what it was. “Hey, I’m sorry to wake you up this early, but I really need you to leave. On this note, since I’m quite busy could you rush a bit?”, he told her as he grabbed some clothes to bring with his in the bathroom. “I’m taking a shower, so you should be ready in five, okay?”. Without looking back, Taehyung left the room and since he hadn’t bothered in wearing clothes, he entered in the shower right away. He regulated the water and grabbed the first shampoo he found, not caring whose it was. He only wanted to hear what Seokjin had to say before having breakfast. He didn't like days that started with drama, and whatever was going on this time he didn't want to be part of it.

 

After having scrubbed himself carefully to erase any smell, he quickly dried his skin and hair before dressing up and leaving the bathroom. To his surprise, when he came back to his room, he found it empty. He shrugged and turned, but as he was about to close the door, a square white thing on his bed caught his attention. He grabbed it and suddenly realized that maybe he’d been a tad too harsh with his words earlier. The note left from the girl read: “You didn’t have to chase me away, I’d have happily left on my own will. Screw you”. Uhm, yeah, maybe I could have worded the request a little bit better...

 

Already done with this day, Taehyung ruffled his hair and made his way to Jin’s room. There Jin was, waiting for him sitting on his bed and looking scarily serious, which was quite out of his character. Still, Taehyung couldn’t really think of anything he could’ve done to annoy him. Despite not recalling any recent mistake, Taehyung entered aand settled on the floor in front of the oldest member of the pack, trying to keep his head down to let him know he recognized Seokjin’s authority.

 

“I think it’s high time to talk about this topic”, Jin told him crossing his legs. Although his body was relaxed, Taehyung could tell by his hyung's stern tone that there was no room for funny and easy topics at the moment. Not having idea of what had pissed off Jin, Taehyung opted to keep quiet and just nod with his head to let him know he was paying attention. “You know I always try to mind my own business and don’t meddle in the situations that don’t personally involve me, but seeing you are not going to change your behaviour and it is damaging the peaceful environment we usually have on this house, I decided it’s time to give you a piece of my mind”. Jin was glaring directly at him and his voice was really cold, however Taehyung still had no idea of what he did wrong this time. “Do you happen to think you can do however you please, Taehyung? Or perhaps, do you and you two friends think you’re entitled to do whatever you want just because you’re born-weres?”

 

Now Taehyung was starting to see where this conversation was going. A part of him had been expecting it sooner or later, but he wasn’t too worried. They were just messing around with Sori, so he hoped Seokjin wasn't going drag it for too long. Maybe they had crossed the line a couple of times, but they didn't do it to hurt her, they just didn't think enough of the consequences of their actions, really.

 

“I see how you guys confabulate against Sori, and let me tell you this, Taehyung, it isn’t funny and you’re hurting her for no reason. I had a chat with Namjoon about this and he agrees with me. It’s time you guys stop acting childishly and start realizing what you consider as a innocent joke can be hurtful for other people and also, that there could be consequences to your actions”.

 

“No, wait”, he took a deep breath to calm down and concentrate on what he wanted to say, “I’m not denying we sometimes say things we shouldn’t but it’s not like we purposefully hurt her all the time… it just sort of happens, you know. I’ll apologize for what I told her yesterday as soon as I see her”, Taehyung assured him, feeling unjustly accused. After all, he did care about Sori and he loved her as much as he loved all s, but he liked to play around with Jungkook and Jimin too. He could even admit that they took their jokes too far at times, but she never really told them to stop, so…

 

“So you’re telling me you don’t know that calling her a and telling her she’s a traitor, or that she’s going to kill us is a funny and not hurtful joke to you? Do you really want me to believe you didn’t think those words could hurt her?”, Jin asked him in disbelief. His eyebrows were pinched together, an expression they didn’t see often. It was he disappointment showing in his eyes that hit a nerve for Taehyung. He had been careless, sure, but he didn't deserve that. Jin knew perfectly well that they didn't really believe in those things, they just said them... because.

 

“No, that’s not it. I mean, okay, they’re not the most delicate things to hear about yourself, but she knows we don’t really think about her that way. Moreover, if she was really bothered by our words, why wouldn’t she just tell us to stop? She just keeps quite”, Taehyung shrugged, trying to prove that he meant no harm to their youngest member. He didn't want to admit to having hurt like that just to have some fun with Jimin and Jungkook, and the accusations his hyung was moving against him were irking him.

 

“Have you ever thought that she keeps quiet because she doesn’t know how to fend for herself? You didn't, did you? You know how she used to live before being turned, what do you expect her to tell you when she was told she was only admitted into the pack because of her friend and that she had to consider herself lucky she wouldn’t be used as a e by the pack? Have you ever even tried to put yourself in her shoes?”, Seokjin’s disappointment and anger could clearly be heard in his voice. “Have you ever thought that maybe she doesn’t know what you really think about her? She only knows what the society thinks about people like her. She knows you say those thing about her right to her face, so maybe she suspects you do worse when she's not around”.

 

To be honest, Taehyung hadn’t really thought much about how they played around with Sori. To him, that meant nothing, in fact he only went with the flow, but now that Jin was voicing it out loud it suddenly sounded scarily realistic and hurtful. He was never too sensible and understanding other people's feelings wasn't easy for him, which was also why he didn’t stop much to think that kind of things through. Putting it like that, it make him feel ashamed. What if the fact that they laughed at how much she ate was the reason why now she was often skipping meals and throwing up? Did she suffer from an eating disorder? Did she take his words from yesterday to heart? It was true that he didn't pay attention to many things, but that much he had been able notice for sure. Taehyung opened him mouth to defend himself, and then he closed it. He wanted to say something, but now he wasn’t sure he should speak anymore.

 

“You guys have to stop acting like that. Sori is going through enough on her own, you don’t need to add to that. I know she doesn’t spend much time with us anymore, but in the end she always comes back home to us, so just give her some space. She’s already dealing with letting go of Jungkook and accepting that he and Minyoung have something going on, while knowing she has no one left of her family and with no where to go if she ever wanted to leave the pack, don’t you think she deserves to have some fun too?”, Jin looked upset at his own words. “I’m not saying I’m okay with her going away or spending all her time with EXO, because I’m not, but there’s nothing we can do about that. Once she’ll be over her feelings, maybe she’ll stay with us more, just like she used to do before”, he frowned.

 

“But…it’s not just that. Talking with Jungkook, he said something that made me think-”, Taehyung was interrupted right away. It wasn't the strongest defence, but it was the best he could come up with.

 

“Oh, please, spare me. Jungkook is simply butthurt because she isn’t paying him any attention lately. He’s the most jealous in our group, and we all know why. And guess what? This whole situation is also happening because of him, so he should blame himself instead of throwing at Sori”, Jin scoffed.

 

“Well, that might be true, but I think he’s not completely wrong this time”, he raised his hand to stop Jin from intervening again, “Think about it: we’ve been threatened by a group of rogues, which so happen to be mainly made of turned-weres. At the same time, Sori suddenly starts disappearing for hours without telling anyone where she’s going. Out of nowhere she’s also close friend of the alpha of another pack…isn’t it weird?”. Seokjin, who seemed to be calmer than he was when he first started his scolding, was now glaring at him.

 

“Are you telling me that, not only you’ve been calling her names and making fun of her, but you’ve also been plotting against her?”, his voice was now very stern, and as if he was trying hard not to curse.

 

“No, I wouldn’t call it “plotting”. I mean, we haven’t planned on taking action against her or something, it’s just that we were making theories as for why she would stay out that much lately and… well, considering that she’s a turned-were, it makes sense”, Taehyung shrugged lightly, not wanting to cower in front of the beta of his pack.

 

“No, that’s exactly what I would define as “plotting”. You’ve been making excuses to justify your rude attitudes and convince other people you’re in the right because she might betray us. You’re not planning on how to punish her because you’re already doing it. Jungkook built up all this story to cover up his jealousy and his reasons for mistreating her and you and Jimin are following him without even fully understating what you’re doing”. Seokjin couldn’t believe Taehyung was being serious. “So tell me, did you just say she’s spending her time with EXO to have a pack to turn to when we’ll be attacked, or did you go as far as saying she’s helping the rogues?”, Jin told him smirking in a mean way. It was always quite scary when Seokjin got angry, because there was no way to calm him down until he felt like he had nothing more to add, and today was going to be no exception. Now Taehyung was realizing that maybe it would’ve been better if he just kept quiet and let Jin say whatever he wanted instead of trying to defend himself.

 

Not wanting to say that the latter was closer to the contents of his last chat with Jungkook and Jimin, he just stared at the beta of the pack, hoping the ground would open up and put an end to his misery.

 

“Oh, I see…”, Jin told him after having studied Taehyung’s expression for a moment. “Let me tell you this: you’re pathetic. You and Jimin are even worse that Jungkook, because at least he attacks her to hide his feelings, instead you just attack her to show you have his back. Keep behaving like that, and maybe your “suppositions” won’t be too far from the reality. Who knows, maybe she’ll really leave us to go in a pack where she’s treated the way she deserves”, Seokjin told him standing up. Taehyung opened his mouth to protest, but Jin cut him off again. “Don’t add another word, you've already said enough. Don’t try to justify yourself either. Just leave, I have to get ready for work”, he told Taehyung, pointing at his door. Even if Taehyung had something intelligent to add, which right now he obviously hadn't, Seokjin was the beta of the pack and he was speaking with his authoritative voice, so he could only do what he was told to.

 

He left the room silently, feeling ashamed of having even said those things out loud to Jin. However it still sort of made sense to him. There were many stories about turned-weres betraying their pack, so why would Sori be any different?

 

 

“Little wolf, what can you do?”, Baekhyun asked for the nth time. All the mocking was starting to annoy Sori. Like really annoy. She didn’t even know why, but her hands were itching with the need to slap him into his pack’s land.

 

Unfortunately for her it was Saturday, which meant she had to stay out there in the garden, under the sun, with all the others and train. As Namjoon had told them, EXO was there to train with them in their wolf forms. Some of EXO and Block B were friendly chatting, since they’d already met in some other occasion that Sori didn’t bother to ask about, while BTS member were mostly sitting around in small groups. On the other hand, Sori was sitting alone under the branches of the old oak she could always see from her room. Or better, she wanted to sit there alone, until Baekhyun had apparently decided he wanted to talk, so he was yelling stupid things Sori didn’t even care to listen.

 

If Sori had to be honest with herself, she’d have to admit she was this annoyed because she had to change in front of people she didn’t even know, and she already hated doing it in front of people she knew well, so… nope, she wasn’t in the mood to listen to Baekhyun constant. She really didn’t care at the moment. She wanted to stitch those two pretty little lips together until she wasn’t feeling this irritated anymore.

 

Moreover, it seemed like every single person present was staring at her. Sori had even tried to tell herself it wasn’t true, but no matter when or where she watched, there was always someone eyeing her or stealing glances when they thought she wasn’t looking. Then she tried convincing herself they were only staring because they were curious of her friendship with EXO, and up to a certain extent she could understand it, but it still annoyed her. Like, she wasn’t about to run away with them or something, she was just sitting there and waiting for the awful session of training to start. What’s so interesting about me, anyways? She huffed and plugged out another leaf from the bush next to her, reducing it to small and unrecognizable pieces of green stuff. There were stupid, disgusting little bugs flying everywhere today too, to make the situation even more enjoyable.

 

Having sensed her mood, Chanyeol was trying to drag his pack mate away from Sori to give her some space, but Baekhyun looked completely unfazed no matter what he did, thus Chanyeol could only send apologetic smiles in Sori’s direction, letting her know that at least he had tried.

 

Jiho, Namjoon, Narae and Junmyeon were taking their sweet time to come out and finally let this AMAZING training session begin, hence everyone was bored out of their mind, and the sun was starting to warm up the garden in an uncomfortable way.

 

Jimin and Taehyung, who were sitting around two in front of Sori, were trying to involve her in their conversation, but Sori didn’t really feel like it. It wasn’t like she had something against them, not really, but ever since Thursday she felt a little disappointed in both the members of her pack and herself. In her eyes, their behaviour was completely unjustified. EXO didn’t even spend the whole night with them, however her members had judged them and complained as if she was forcing BTS and EXO to spend time together. As for herself, she really felt ashamed of having shown them that side of her in front of everyone. Not being used to drinking, she couldn't have foreseen her silly attitude, and now she couldn't help but feel embarrassed whenever she remembered the little flirt she had had with Sehun. Add to that that she’d awoken feeling completely drained today, so she didn’t want to do anything. Given the chance, Sori would’ve happily skipped this training in favour of lying in bed the whole afternoon.

 

“Why are they taking so long? I’m bored, I just want to start this training and get over it”, Taehyung whined, and she wholeheartedly agreed. Sori reasoned in her mind that probably he was feeling so frustrated because he was excited for that night, since apparently the most of the pack wanted to go clubbing again, although Sori was having none of it. Not that they’d even asked for her opinion before deciding they were going out. She sure as hell wasn’t moving out of her bed that night. No way. They never cared that much if I was there before, why would they care now anyway?

 

A good five minutes later, Namjoon, Narae, Junmyeon and Jiho finally appeared, bringing two small boxes with them. Jiho put the boxes on the ground and Junmyeon, Namjoon and Narae sat down with the rest of the werewolves. Once again Jiho was the one who was going to explain and control the whole training session.

 

“I’m sorry for taking too long, however I’m sure you’re not going to complain once you’ll know what I prepared for you today”, Jiho stood in front of them with his hands on his hips and his head held high and a gentle smile adorning his face, showing that he was confident in his statement. Sori had no idea about what activity they’d be doing and by the doubtful faces around her, no one seemed to have a clue. “So, since last Saturday we trained in human form, today you’re going to play for a while in your wolf forms”.

 

Sori heard Taehyung whispering an excited “yeeeessss”, his eyes were sparkling with excitement at the idea of his favourite kind of training. Both he and Jimin loved playing at all times, it was no surprise that they were excited at the idea of training as wolves, however the quiet groans coming from here and there around the garden gave away that not everyone shared their opinion.

 

Sori loved spring and summer usually. It was really beautiful how the flowers blossomed all around their house, how the woods felt alive during those months. The water by her lake seemed to be always brighter during summer, and in the afternoon it was warm enough to swim in it. Actually Sori liked soaking in the water better, but she didn’t disdain a short swim every now and then. She loved laying down on the lawn near it and listen to the sounds created by the wind rushing through the leaves or the hushed sounds of the small waves that crashed on the shore again and again as soon as the wind started blowing, watching the branches of the trees swinging softly. The sun on her skin always managed to ease the tension in her body.

 

Despite that, the idea of having to run under the sun at 2 pm didn’t really thrill her. Quite the opposite, actually. Albeit she had grown fond of running around in her wolf, practising sports was never one of Sori’s passions. She had awoken in a foul mood, had to stay near Sehun in front of her pack, listened to Baekhyun screaming during the whole lunch, she had an headache, it was way too hot to be just mid May, she was pretty sure she’d have to spend the next few hours running without a real purpose and the only thing she felt like doing was sleeping. What an amazing day.

 

“Don’t take this as a real playtime though, because I promise you it won’t be. You’re going to be using your senses if you want to win this. You’re going to have to pay attention to everything around you and you better make sure you know how to make good teamwork because there will be a punishment for the losers, and it might or might not be…unpleasant”, Jiho said staring right into Baekhyun’s eyes. Sori saw his Adam's apple bobbing, and she felt a little bit satisfied by the light fear she could see on his expression. Finally. It was high time someone made him shut up.

 

“Today, once again, you’re going to be split in two teams: team red and team yellow. You’ll be playing flag tag, so each one of you is going to take one flag out of the box that contains your team’s colour. Before adding the rest of the rules, I’d like Namjoon and Junmyeon, who’ll be the leaders, to pick their teammates and their team colour”. Junmyeon and Namjoon both stood up and nodded at the other, inviting him to pick first, making the other guys laugh.

 

“Rock scissor paper?”, Junmyeon offered, smiling.

 

“I at it, but sure. Who wins picks first”, Namjoon smiled back. The two closed their fists and the rest of the wolves sang for them. Junmyeon scrunched his nose while Namjoon stared at his hand for a moment before finally registering that he’d won. “Wow, this is a first”, he said raising his eyebrows. “How about we pick two players at a time? So we can get over this quickly”, Namjoon proposed. To Sori, who was used to Namjoon's practical ways, it was clear that he was more than ready to get over this part of the training.

 

“Yeah, sure. You can also chose the colour of your team first”, Junmyeon simply replied. By the way his voice sounded, way too accommodating for a highly competitive alpha, Sori had the distinct impression he’d already chosen his first picks, and was now hoping Namjoon wouldn’t pick those he wanted while still maintaining his nice guy facade.

 

“Okay. So, no offence guys, it’s just a game, right?”, Namjoon said while eyes the faces of the wolves around him, who nodded in agreement. Sori shrugged, knowing she wouldn’t be picked until the very end, since she wasn’t much of a useful player. “I’ll pick red. And I want Jungkook and Taehyung in my team”. The two guys nodded and cheered. They rushed to the box with the red flags and took out one each, before going to stand next to their alpha. Junmyeon’s smirk told Sori that Namjoon hadn’t picked the guys he wanted. Observing Junmyeon's attitude was quite amusing for Sori, in fact he was always posed and classy, while today he looked playful and competitive, he looked very much like a real leader. Which to someone else might not even be a thing, but to Sori it made sense.

 

“I want Baekhyun and Kyungsoo”, his smirk was somewhat evil. This had Sori reflecting whether he was planning or not, because by the looks of it, it seemed so. His voice subtly gave away an arrogance, which wasn’t usually in his character. It was quite surprising, yet totally intriguing too. This stupid game/training session had already been turned in a competition. Boys... they turn everything in a challenge. Sori shook her head lightly, smiling a bit at their childishness. Junmyeon’s smirk was still there, and Sori was now getting really curious about his plan. He winked at her before turning to Namjoon again, waiting for him to pick again.

 

“Jimin and Yoongi”, Namjoon nodded in the direction of the guys he’d picked. The trio cheered loudly and soon Yoongi and Jimin were standing beside Namjoon holding their red flags. Yoongi met Sori’s eyes and smiled encouragingly, as if telling her Namjoon was going to pick her soon. A moment later Yoongi was glaring again at the sky, as if he was cursing at it for how hot the sun felt on his skin. He tugged the long sleeves of his shirt above his hands and pouted. Had Sori's day not been so horribly disgusting, she’d have probably cooed at the cute older guy.

 

“Sehun and Chanyeol”. Junmyeon’s eyes were glittering with some weird emotion, something Sori hadn’t ever seen before, and the way he was looking at Namjoon was both amusing and worrying. Just what the hell has he planned?

 

Sori had noticed how Jungkook’s head had snapped in Sehun’s direction as soon as his name had been called. For a moment Sori had the impression he was baring his teeth at Sehun, but she was sitting too far to be sure. She scoffed at her own delusional thoughts, knowing too well that Jungkook had no reason to be that openly hostile towards Sehun anyway, no matter how much she deluded herself.

 

“Minyoung and Jihoon”. It showed that he was carefully calculating the potential of the remaining players. Up to now he’d picked all the strong guys and those with the best fighting skills in BTS. To Sori’s surprise, he hadn’t picked his mate yet. That was extremely weird, because seriously, those two were attached by the hip normally. Another surprise, a painful one, was that he’d picked Minyoung before her. He’d picked Minyoung before his mate and her… Okay, Sori, it’s time to stop being this melodramatic. Just stop thinking about her. It’s just a game, it doesn’t prove anything. He said it before: “it’s just a game”. No hard feelings.

 

“Sori and Narae”, Junmyeon quickly pronounced their names. Not expecting it, Sori was completely lost in her own thoughts and she didn’t snap out of it until Baekhyun nudged her lightly with his knee. Sori searched for Narae’s eyes, and the two shared a look of disbelief, trying to figure out whether he was being serious or not. The bright, cocky smile on Junmyeon’s face was a clear indicator of how proud he was of himself, and that he was sure of his decision. Belatedly, Sori wondered if this was what he’d been planning right from the beginning, after all he had given Namjoon several chances to correct his oversight, but Namjoon hadn't even caught up with the chances he had been given, hence Junmyeon's smirk.

 

Slowly Narae and Sori stood up and silently went to take two yellow flags from the box, before reaching the rest of their team. On the way back, Sori felt her cheeks on flame. She didn’t want to be the centre of everyone’s attention, however it still felt like every single person present in the garden was staring at her, not to mention that the silence was completely overwhelming. Only after having joined her teammates she found the courage of lifting her head.

 

Namjoon’s mouth was hanging open while he stared at his mate, completely shocked by Junmyeon’ choice. Jungkook and Taehyung were gaping in surprise too. Junmyeon winked at Namjoon, confirming Sori’s suspects: he’d planned it beforehand. Everyone chuckled at the interaction. By everyone, Sori meant everyone but Namjoon, Jungkook, Taehyung and Narae, obviously. She looked a little sour, but who could blame her? Her own mate had had picked another girl before her, making her also appear useless in the defence of they pack, which was exactly Narae's role as the mate of the alpha.

 

Jiho’s cackle seemed to awake Namjoon from his state of shock, but only to make him frown in Sori’s direction. Being pretty sure she hadn’t done anything wrong, Sori just ignored his eyes and took her best friend’s hand, who was awkwardly standing behind Junmyeon. Yep, standing close to another alpha in front of your own alpha could be very awkward, Sori had already experienced it. Narae grunted, but took the flag Sori was handing her nonetheless.

 

Despite Jiho's intention to disperse the tension, Namjoon’s irritation was perfectly audible in the tone he used as he picked Hoseok and Seokjin. If looks could kill…

 

Sori would’ve never admitted it openly, but she was quite happy to be in Junmyeon’s team. Not that she disliked her packmates or something, but she was sure they wouldn’t have allowed her to play to her full strength, or even let her play at all. They’d have encouraged her to stay with them, follow them and tell her and even encourage her to learn some fight techniques, but in the end they wouldn’t have let her fight anyway. This was a chance for her to show she could be useful and she didn’t need the super-strength that comes with being born-werewolves. She had her brain to supply for her lack of strength.

 

“Mmm, I’ll take with me Jongin and Yixing”. Junmyeon sounded like he was trying hard not to laugh at his friend’s face and while Namjoon was gritting his teeth. He didn’t seem to be enjoying himself in the slightest.

 

“Minseok and Jongdae”, Namjoon pronounced their name as he was cursing. Or maybe he was really cursing in his mind. The fiery way with which Namjoon held his head to meet Junmyeon’s eyes and smirked at him was quite telling. Junmyeon probably thought Namjoon was kidding or something thought, because a couple of seconds later he was openly laughing at Namjoon’s face. As his eyes flashed yellow, Sori established that maybe Junmyeon hadn’t really taken in consideration how possessive alphas are of their mates… or maybe he did but he didn’t care enough. Whatever it was, Namjoon looked quite scary at the moment.

 

Narae tightened the grip on Sori’s hand, telling her she’d noticed Namjoon’s behaviour too, and she didn’t feel comfortable at the moment. Sori bumped her shoulder against hers and kissed her cheek. There weren’t many ways to salvage the situation as of now. It wasn’t like someone could tell Namjoon to cut the crap when there were other alphas around, because then they’d be disrespecting him in front of everyone, and for the same reason they couldn’t tell Junmyeon to shut the hell up. However, the atmosphere was quite awkward, and since nobody dared to speak, the could only rely on body language to communicate.

 

“Ok, let’s get over this. Remember that it’s just a game, no one is stealing mates or packmates permanently, okay?”, Jiho told them. It would’ve been better if they couldn’t deject the smirk that he was trying to hide, but apparently his words worked just fine anyways, because a second later Junmyeon wasn’t laughing anymore and Namjoon’s eyes were shining in a less blazing yellow.

 

“Okay. I’ll pick Taeil and Yukwon then”, Junmyeon said, looking at the two guys. They nodded and when to the take their flags. In the meanwhile, Junmyeon was still smiling and Namjoon was glaring at him.

 

“I’ll let you have one more player since you have two girls with you”, Namjoon almost growled at the smirking alpha in front of him.

 

“I don’t think these two girls will appreciate what you said, but… oh, well, you’ll be the one dealing with them after the game, and you had already pissed off one of them…”, Junmyeon shrugged, “Pick your last player and the two left will play in my team”. Namjoon growled at Junmyeon again, and this time he wasn’t the only one. Sori couldn’t pinpoint who it was, but sh

Chapter 35: I really really hope that Sori won’t return to BTS. Not with the current mindset that Jungkook has and even Namjoon too. I was really pissed that Namjoon tried to like give Minyoung a chance and had like a benefit of doubt that she could change. Not in a million years that that could happen. Even Jungkook himself that had stayed in the pack for years still kept the same learning from his previous pack, why would Minyoung changed hers in a matter of months. Although fortunately Minyoung kept true to her personality and getting kicked out in the end. At this point, I can see that Namjoon is not fond of confrontation and he is bad at it too. Not that everyone is fond of confrontation, but Namjoon tried to avoid it so much that the action hurts his pack. He almost did it again when he tried to talk to Minyoung in early of this chapter though.
I think this is a new information, or maybe I forgot about it entirely; Minyoung knew about Sori’s pregnancy way before Sori herself knows?! Was this mentioned before? That girl is just pure evil. But with her gone, BTS and EXO has to be ready if she get together with the enemy and attack both packs. If before, Minyoung hates Sori because she is a turned-were, now, she just basically hates Sori.
Thank you for this update..!

Chapter 35: About time already. But from her reaction being kicked, I could sense she’s about to plot something evil in her head.

Chapter 34: It's good that Jungkook tried to bring himself to finally get the helps he really needed. It's the first step.

Chapter 34: It was nice to know what happened to the BTS pack after Sori left. And to know Jim’s thought and his point of view in some of the matters when Sori was with them. But knowing about it made me angrier to the pack. And maybe Sori too. At least now she won’t be so oblivious anymore or making her assumptions that the pack didn’t see what actually happened between the members. In Jin’s case, he decided to turn blind eye in a lot of cases. But his honesty was definitely appreciated. Quite refreshing to read too.
Jungkook has taken the first step in getting better although he was still in denial himself. The woman is a psychiatrist and trained. So it would dumb do him to believe that she won’t detect his lies if he decided to do so.
I hope all goes well for both Sori and Jungkook.
Thank you for this update..!

Chapter 34: I love it!! I like that Jin and Sori got to talk as well. I can understand it’s going to take time to build back the friendships they’ve lost with her, but I’m so excited for her and Jungkook to meet again, he’s really trying and I like that you’ve focus on how his part is going on. Thank you for the UPDATE!! So excited so so excited every time I see an update from you!

Chapter 33: Hi, how are you? Thank you so much for the chapter! I am always happy reading this story!!! I'm glad sori is bringing out her personality and saying how she really feels, it's okay for others to understand how her feelings. I'm also very glad that Namjoon is trying to find a way to improve the situation in the group and encourage a healthier and more cohesive environment. I am happy they are noticing how Minyoug has worsened relations within the group with her prejudices and treatment of Sori. It is good the others are trying to reconnect with Sori and are taking their time to understand her and give her space.
Thank you so much for the update and I am looking forward to your next chapter! <3

Chapter 33: She's starting to stand for herself and I liked it. Thank God Namjoon has decided to do something about Minyoung. It just had to be done.

I really loved how Sori stood up for herself with Jin and Yoongi.

Chapter 33: I like that Sori was determined on what she wanted. It’s up to her ex-packmates to adhere to what she wanted or just forget about bonding again, even as friends. I guess she was so sick and tired of all the previous dramas and just wanted to settle down with her baby.
Well, good for her.
Thank you for this update..! I hope you are feeling better than before though
