In My Blood (En- JakeHoon)

XXVIII

Sunghoon

Jake really did want to be in a pack. I mean, it is natural since he's a wolf and wolves always, and I mean always stay in packs. On the bright side, they actually look after each other like their own family but that only happen inside the pack. Outsiders are not the same. I'm nervous, no I'm scared for Jake if he did enter a pack. What if the pack is like his previous one?

I know I don't have enough knowledge to judge his previous pack but from the trauma I saw they caused Jake , I am right to conclude that they're not a good pack.

"Sunghoon?"

I turn my gaze towards Jake who slowly held my hand giving me a warm smile.

"My wolf needs a pack. . I don't want to be living as a rogue. . a wolf without a pack is also known to be a rogue. . I hope you understand"

How can he still be with me after I said lots of hurtful words at him starting from the beginning of our meeting? He always saves my life whenever I an in the brink of death but what did I give him in return? Hurting him, judging him, and basically make him cry. Have I done something good to him tho? No , I did nothing good to him and I hate myself for not doing so.

After I fixed my heart to love again, I didn't realize how my mind is not at all fixed and it is still stuck in the broken past I have.

But how can I do it?

I felt his warm hand on my face as he wipes my tears I didnt realize are already falling.

"I'm sorry . . ."

I can only apologize at this point as I recall our past moments together. I have hurt him enough, maybe even more than enough. The least I can do is to fulfill the desires of his golden heart.

"I forgive you. . "

I felt his finger trace some part of my neck and a smile made its way on his face.

"By the way . . .your mark looks beautiful on you"

Mark?

He handed me a mirror before we just stare at each other and burst into laughter when the realization hit us both. I am such an idiot. I literally tried to find my reflection on the mirror and Jake on the other hand was confused to why I don't have a reflection only for us to realize that I am a vampire, and we don't have reflections.

"Oh my goodness I'm so stupid. . anyway. . . how does it look?"

"Its shaped like mine but yours is not blue. . it's a combination of red, orange and yellow. . it's a flame Sunghoon"

I can imagine it now. Wait, how come I have a mark?

"How did it happen?"

"For starters .. I bit you. Riki told me to--"

"Riki was here? Since when?"

"After you stopped breathing. . . I think he's about to visit Sunoo but he saw us in that scene. . He actually has been studying vampires since he was a kid and I think you know why since he has just found out the reason when he met Sunoo. . . there's a myth that a vampire can mark a wolf but a wolf must not do the same because it can kill the vampire . . well it turns out that it is wrong. . the mark brought you back. . "

"Riki had the hidden card to save me. . why? I mean isn't my death gonna benefit him?"

He just laughed at me. Yeah, I asked a stupid question I know that.
