“Gosh it’s so damn cold.” Baekhyun shivered.   Sehun rolled his eyes, opening the glass door that led into his grey home. The whole 6 of them were stark as their clothes shredded when their wolves morphed to the surface.   After giving the coyotes some harsh warning, they retreated back home.   “I’m sorry your birthday was ruined.” Suho patted Kai’s shoulder, “Don’t worry.” Kai sighed, “It’s not like any of my birthdays were memorable, atleast in a good way.” He mumbled, the words feeling bitter on his tongue. The thought made Suho more regretful, “Someday your birthday will be what you want.” He assured.    The possibility of that happening was nought but Kai didn’t want to depress the latter and simply nodded.   “Someday.” He nodded.   “CHAEYOUNG!” Sehun’s voice made the pack sprint into the house.    “W-What happened?” D.O blurted, stunned to find the slender girl on the floor.   “I-I don’t know.” Sehun frantically felt for her forehead and pulse.
