Wolve's Bane

Besides their razor-sharp claws and teeth, wolf werebeasts prided themselves on their extraordinary sense of smell. This unique ability allowed them to discern the nuances of an erratic heartbeat, the scent of fear. The subtleties between lies and truth.

Many wolf werebeasts found their calling in professions such as interrogators and police officers, leveraging their unparalleled olfactory skills.

While other animals, like dogs, also possessed acute senses of smell, the combination of heightened hearing, smell and strength made wolf werebeasts particularly suited for law enforcement roles.

Never in Jungkook's life would he think to buy anosmia and knock out one of his best abilities.

"Hey, uh, how much are those anosmia pills?" Jungkook mumbled, the brim of his cap shading his eyes. His embarrassment was too great, preventing him from meeting the pharmacist's gaze.

What are anosmia pills? Simply put, those who found it impossible to control their urges when faced with individuals in heat turned to anosmia pills. These tiny tablets dulled the sense of smell, temporarily providing a shield against the intoxicating scent of a person in heat.

The worst-case scenario would be that a carnivore has tasted a herbivore's flesh and the scent of herbivores is enough to make him act impulsively.

Can this dude not control himself? Did this person assault someone before that's why he is purchasing anosmia pills? Despicable!

Jungkook could practically hear the thoughts of the people near him and his cheeks reddened further. He shifted uncomfortably. This is worse than purchasing condoms over the counter!

"Young man, how old are you? Why do you need to purchase these pills?" the pharmacist's suspicion cut through the air, an inquisitive eyebrow raised.

"I lose control when my girlfriend goes into heat. Being a wolf werebeast, my heightened sense of smell exacerbates the situation. I just don't want to hurt her," Jungkook replied, weaving a partial truth into his response.

Of course, the pharmacist couldn't be told the real reason—that Jungkook had tasted herbivore blood, creating an unsettling craving whenever a certain herbivore passed by. Such a revelation would lead straight to juvenile prison.

Despite the humiliation wrapped in his lie, it served its purpose, causing the curious onlookers to mutter a collective "oh" before dispersing. Teenagers nowadays.

"Alright, I can only hook you up with two packs. Ten pills each. Pop two pills a week. We're not aiming for a sensory blackout here; gotta keep that nose intact," the pharmacist advised, carefully placing the pill packets into a bag. "That'll be $108."

Jungkook scoffed under his breath, irritation bubbling up at the thought of shelling out a hundred bucks just to avoid drooling like a fool every time that aggravating deer got too close. With a resigned huff, he handed over the cash, snatching the bag with a clenched fist. The anger simmered beneath the surface as he hastily made his way home.

Jungkook had more pressing matters on his mind.

Every month, the Debate & Current Affairs club hosted a session for the Beastar candidates and competitors to engage in logical debates or discussions regarding World Affairs.

This month, it was a discussion on managing species equality and winning a logical debate or contributing insightful points during a discussion that granted the opportunity to challenge the current Beastar candidate—potentially seizing the coveted position.

Although the debates and discussions were intended to be amicable, some participants have gotten into one-sided heated arguments with the club president - Kim Taehyung. Simply because they couldn't counter his points.
