A/N: Sonja is pronounced sonya. It's just the German spelling.

Sehun and I walked straight to my car without saying a word. I got in the driver's side and took a huge breath, feeling almost frozen in time, like nothing else was moving. I just kept replaying the scene over and over again in my head. Her scent. Her long, straight, dark hair contrasting stunningly against her porcelain skin. And her eyes! Her eyes were a beautiful sparkling hazel, mossy green on the outside and a warm golden honey toward the center. 

"Hyung, if you keep your mouth open like that something will fly in." I chuckled obviously pleased with himself as I snapped my mouth closed. "She's the one, isn't she?"

"I-- yeah. I think so. I've just never seen someone so-- I mean, how do you know?" So many thoughts were going through my head at once. She was human. Which wasn't impossible, but wasn't exactly very likely either. She wasn't like anything I expected. But at the same time she was so much more than I expected. I thought it would be another wolf for sure. I thought I would be older. I wanted to find my mate, just like any other werewolf, but I hadn't exactly been out there searching for her either. Now all of those thoughts were completely gone. Suddenly all I wanted to do was know more about her. She was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. Is this what it wass like? Was it her? Was she my mate?

"Well I don't know. Why don't you ask Suho hyung when we get to Philly? It's not like the rest of us would know." I nodded in response. "But aren't you, like, supposed to know? Maybe it's not her. It's pretty unlikely that she would be a human and that's definitely what she smelled like."

"Yeah. I guess I'll just wait and ask Suho hyung when we get there. Let's go."

There was music playing the whole drive back but I didn't hear a note. I was completely stuck in my mind. How could this work with a human? With two wolves you would know right away. You would both be able to feel a pull. It was different with every couple of course. Some would mate right away while others date first or even just get to know each other. But a human? I know it's possible. We have heard of wolves finding their mates in humans but no one in my pack or my parents' pack had a human as a mate so I had no idea what to expect. Maybe it wasn't even her. Sonja. Part of me wanted it to be her so badly, but another part was confused and apprehensive. Confused about how this could work. Apprehensive about having a human, fragile, with no wolf instincts and likely no knowledge of our existence, as my mate.

Before I knew it I found myself navigating down the road our pack house was on. Sehun and I had been visiting our parents pack in ia. Most of the guys in our pack had originally come from a different pack that all of our parents were from. When Suho found his mate he decided, along with our old alpha, that he should become the alpha of his own pack. Nine of us left our parents' pack and moved to the outskirts of the Philadelphia area. We weren't directly in the city, maybe fifteen minutes outside, as we prefered a more secluded and wooded area.

I was out of the car half a second after the engine stopped. I just wanted to talk to Suho and get this sorted out now.

"Hyung! Seriously you're not going to help carry in anything?!" I turned to see Sehun whining as he tried to unpack all of the things our parents' pack had sent with us.

"Sorry, sorry. I'll help." I filled each arm with as many bags and boxes as I could manage, determined to make it in one trip. Thankfully, the front door was open before I could reach the front step.

"Oooh, goodies! Which one is for me?" Chen took a few things from me, already trying to rummage through them and find something for himself.

Sehun decided that this would be a great time to cause trouble. "For you? Oh, there isn't anything." He mentioned nonchalantly.

"What?! What do you mean?! I'm sure my mom sent food for me at least! She said she would make cookies and send them! Did you guys--" I stopped listening and rolled my eyes, giving Sehun a look. He returned with a mischievous look of his own.

At that moment, I could not have cared less. I focused my senses to find Suho. Second floor, in the library. Hyesun was there with him too. I haphazardly piled bags all over the kitchen island and countertop before dashing up the stairs and to the library

This story is being published on Inkitt and eventually wattpad as well. The version on Inkitt will be a non-fanfic version. Just wanted to give a heads-up in case anyone sees my stories elsewhere and thinks they might be plagiarized. I'm just looking for more feedback!

Chapter 15: This is the first story I've read that depicts anxiety like this...as someone with anxiety I love the way you don't sugarcoat it and how correct you portray it. Not only are the feelings of the main character real/life like, but how people are reacting to it is spot on. It's beautiful. Thank you.

Chapter 15: Minhee-ah even if you updated every single day I would still read this story from the beginning every single time. So don’t worry about how often you update or posting multiple parts at once.
I definitely know the feeling of not knowing where a story’s going. It’s a writers block like no other. I feel like your story is really unique with the way it covers the werewolf au and mental illness. You’ve done an amazing job of depicting anxiety so far but the werewolf au is always difficult. Like does your au work like lots of others that I’ve seen? (Biting, mate marks, a human being able to become a werewolf, etc etc) I think if you already have your au figured out then that will impact how the story progresses and ends. I would love if the story stayed more realistic and “real world”, which you’ve done so far, rather than being like a traditional au that’s pretty unrealistic. But I don’t want to influence any thoughts you already have :( I’ll love it no matter what!
On a lighter note, I’ve never seen “ah bup bup” written out before but it made me giggle because it’s so perfectly spot on.
....I made my comment too long again. Oops! xo

Chapter 15: I just stumbled upon this story while looking for something interesting to read. And somehow, my interest was piqued because i super love werewolf AUs and discovering that this story is not your typical werewolf au made me immediately read it. So far, i could say that i'm slowly falling in love with this. I specifically like how you wrote every chapter and it allowed me to have a different perspective on several things mainly about anxiety. Definitely looking forward to how Jongin and Sonja's story progress on the next chapters. This story is becoming one of those i hold dearly into my heart. Thank you for writing this! I hope you have a good day. ❤

Chapter 15: I’ve only just managed to read this story from start until the current chapter now. Thank you for updating. If you didn’t update, I might have miss the opportunity to read a nicely-written story. I think I’ve subscribed this story not too long ago but somehow I didn’t start reading it right away.
Reading about what’s happening inside the head of a person with anxiety is new to me. I can feel Sonja anxiety just from reading it. I’m glad that she is finally starting to face her fears head on and try to get over it. The scenes of Jongin and Baekhyun getting scolded by their Luna is funny to me. And their sulks too. Hahaha. At the end of this chapter, she might’ve heard a telepathy from Jongin? I might be wrong though. So if that’s true, does that mean that their mate bond is getting stronger..?

Thank you again for updating. I’ll anticipate your future updates too..!

Chapter 15: You're back!!!! I'm glad to know that you're alright ^^
I really miss this story a lot!

Hyesun is so mature and wise like Suho. Both are the perfect leaders for the pack. Sonja is like a little kid that need protection and patience and I'm sure Jongin will be perfect for her
