I'm Just Fine

Seonghwa sat in his room, his mind wandering that he didn't notice Keonhee walk in.

"Seonghwa"? The vampire jumped and looked over.

"O-oh yeah Keonhee". 

"Did you mean what said to Hongjoong? That you two shouldn't have met"? He asked. Seonghwa looked away and sighed.

"No I didn't. I-I don't know why I said that. I was just upset that he killed a human after years of being a vampire and then he just runs off... I regret what I said to him"... As Seonghwa spoke, he heard a howl and instantly stood up.

"That's Joong"... he whispered.

"He must be in trouble"! Seonghwa ran out of the house and into the forest, ignoring the others as they called after him.

"I'm sorry Joongie... Please be ok", he muttered before he slowed as something landed on the side of his neck. He grabbed it and looked at it as a small drop of purple liquid fell from the end. 

"V-vervain"... he said before his eyes rolled back and he fell backwards onto the forest floor.

Hongjoong felt uncomfortable with the two wolves, uncertain if they were friendly or evil. Their scent was different than last time he saw them. 

'Where are you Mingi and Yunho'? He asked himself as he followed the two. But instead of the pack house, they led Hongjoong to an old warehouse and Hongjoong whimpered as his ears fell back, scared. 

"Move it please", one of them asked and Hongjoong obeyed him as he held his head low. The boy was an alpha and Hongjoong didn't know how to fight an alpha's command. As he walked in, he looked around before seeing a familiar face.

'Seonghwa'!! Seonghwa looked up but showed no emotion on his face. Hongjoong whined and walked over to him and nudged his leg but he still got no reaction from the older.

"Don't bother. He can't feel anything". Hongjoong turned to the two and growled. 

"Don't growl at me"!  Hongjoong moved back and looked down. 

"Shift". Hongjoong felt his body obey the command and howled before it turned into shouting from the sudden change. 

"W-why are you doing this"? Hongjoong asked as he looked up at the two. 

"Your a wolf now Hongjoong? Must be nice to be a hybrid".

"He asked a question", Seonghwa spoke, his voice empty as he spoke. Hongjoong looked at him.

"H-Hwa"... he whispered but the older's eyes were empty, emotionaless.

"What did you do to him"!! Hongjoong shouted, turning back to the two boys. 

"Oh we just gave him a little something. It'll wear off soon. But in the meantime"... One of the boys walked over and the closer they got, Hongjoong realized they weren't in Yunho and Mingi's pack. They were strays, yet they looked so similar to wolves from the pack. 

"Y-your not from Yunho and Mingi's pack"...

"Ding! Took you long enough to know. Name's Jaehyun, and you my little omega, I'm gonna have fun with". Hongjoong whimpered and moved back before Jaehyun grabbed his arm tight. 

"Don't bother. You can't disobey my commands, got it"? Hongjoong's body shook as he nodded. 

"I want an answer".

"Y-yes I got it". 

"Good".
