A Wolf's intuition

''CHAY ENOUGH.''

Kim was holding back laughter in front of his friend's frightened face.

''Geez....Thank god...'' muttered Leo.

"....Porchay come here. Good boy, here."

The animal passed in front of Leo as if he was a common insect, and it positioned itself towards Kimhan, his gaze had a very proud glint and its tongue slightly hanging out.
Leon felt like he just saw the guardian of hell from those mythological stories.

''Wow...I...I think I just peed in my pants...'' muttered Leo, he wanted to make a joke but he wasn't sure if it was one. ''He's...much bigger than I thought.''

Kim crossed his arms but he couldn't help having a smug smirk.

''...And yet it's a small size.''

The animal growled and Leo swore he understood the animal insulted Kim.
This made him laugh and relaxed him a little, but the animal's sharp gaze never left him.

''I was on the phone with my father when I saw him, that surprised me...Fuck.''

"Sorry, he tends to hang around in his wolf shape because of Anon's kids.." Kim sighed, patting the wolf's head affectionately.

The animal turned around and he almost bit his hand, but that just amused the Alpha.
He knew Porchay's wolf was suspicious because he didn't know Leo yet.
Acting like a wild brat, as always...So cute.

''Oh by the way, Dad is curious to soon meet the little ones..You know how he is.''

''He's always adored Anon.'' agreed Kim.

Poor Anon had come very close to cardiac arrest when Mr. Von Braun had offered to double his salary to obtain his services back when he started working for Kimhan !
Luckily, Kit's loyalty and Boss's laziness had convinced him to stay working for the Theerapanyakul.

''Com'on guys, when will it be your turn, huh?'' sneered Leo, stepping away...He didn't want to offend the beast and let it bite him.

Kim arched a confused eyebrow.
People kept pissing him off lately, especially with such a stupid question, all the fucking time.
He slid his hand along his wolf's thick fur and smiled fondly.

''Porchay doesn't like children.''

''Woof.''

''He hates them.'' corrected Kim rolling his eyes.

The animal shook his head briskly, as if to support his mate's words.
In the mind of the wolf the children were just humans even more annoying than the vultures.

''Grrr...''

"There aren't any here." Kim muttered.

''What....are you talking about?'' asked Leo completely confused.

''He doesn't like vultures, nor birds of any kind...It annoys him.'' replied Kim.

''Grrr.''

Leon frowned.
He walked slowly to the right of his friend, with his blue gaze shining with curiosity:

''Wait...Do you understand all that he....Uh says...?''

''...More like what he...Think. In some way.''

Kim invited Leon into the main living room and he attempted to explain his connection to the wolf.
In truth it was difficult to explain something that for them was natural and easy.

🌕Inside KimChay's bedroom 🌕

Lying in bed, his phone in his hands, Porchay was reading a press article...With difficulty.

''What does that mean...<< Despite our all-inclusive dispositions to reach them, they did not respond to our requests...>>'' Said Chay while speaking out loud. He didn't like asking for help in general because it was an admitted weakness, but Kim was an exception. ''I don't understand.''

''What are you reading?'' worried Kim who had just barely saved Tinkerbelle's life because Wendy had almost devoured him, again. "You usually read simpler stories, don't you? Why bothering with such annoying articles?"

"Rose said it could help me."

Rose, his human friend.
She was gonna be a teacher in the future, one who had a big heart. She had decided to lead a big campaign to teach the people of the Zone how to read and write.
Porchay kind of liked her a lot.

"So you're reading an article about my family?" Kim muttered as he slipped into bed. "You know you can ask me anything you want to know..."

Porchay sighed and put his phone down, before resting his head on Kim's shoulder.

''Your friend's father. What does he do...A similar illegal business?''

''Mister Von Braun? They are in the pharmaceutical industry. They sell some painkillers or things like that..Meds.''

''...There aren't any in the Zone. If you get sick, you die.'' commented Porchay softly.

Kim had a sad little smile as he stroked Chay's hair.
He didn't particularly like hearing him talk about his old life, but it was like therapy for Porchay.

''Are they good people? The father and the son Von something...'' questioned Porchay.

''It depends...Your view of << good >> people is slightly different from the norm...''

''What do you mean ?''

"Do you remember the guy who killed rats?"

Porchay frowned.
Joe the Passer.
A simple guy, he kidnapped people sometimes and sells rats.

''Yeah?''

"I remind you that you admire him when he once kidnapped you..."

''Yesss...'' whispered Porchay whose eyes were shining with excitement. ''Joe, he's cool. He kills rats and sells them at the Zone market. His activity as a kidnapper does not totally define him.... Do not stop at that small detail.''

"See, that's your problem, if someone saves your life or inspires your respect, you think he's a good person..."

''Hehe...''

Porchay yawned and rubbed his eyes.
All right, he didn't care about that stranger then. But talking about old Joe gave him an idea. He needed to get back to the Zone.

[ Small bonus : What Tinkerbell saw right the big stupid cat tried to eat him again ! ]
