Wolf

Part 10

Hey sorry guys that it's taken me so long to write the next part. I completley forgot to be honest and we didn't have time to write as well. To make up for it here's chapter 10!! Enjoy!

Kyungsoo awoke to shuffling and murmuring outside the tent. He shimmied his way out his boyfriend's grip, and stepped outside. Everyone everywhere was so busy, you would've thought a festival came into town. A sharp cold breeze hit the area causing the small boy to shiver in the frozen camp. He cupped his hands to his mouth hoping to warm his now freezing fingers. Out of the corner of his eye Sehun, at least he hoped was Sehun, was running off with some large boxes. Out of curiosity, Kyungsoo decided to follow him.

Jongin woke up to find himself alone in his hammock. His petite boyfriend nowhere to be found. As he ruffled his hair, Jongin left the comforts of his hammock to find himself surrounded by the pack getting ready for the mating festival.

Shit! He thought, I need to find Kyungsoo and tell him before it's too late.

Kyungsoo wandered the premises of the wolves' territory, helping out when it was needed. He had just stepped out of the kitchen tent, when two arms pulled him in from behind. "I need to talk to you in private," Jongin whispered in his ear, before pulling him towards their tent.

Jongin sat with Kyungsoo on the couch, a nervous look on his face.

"What's wrong, Jongin?" Kyungsoo placed a hand on his shoulder.

Jongin was blushing.

"Well... I-I wanted to let you know that spring's coming soon."

There was a short pause, and then Kyungsoo started laughing, "Yes, Nini, I know it's going to be spring."

Jongin gently grabbed Kyungsoo's hand, making the other stop laughing.

"No, Kyungsoo. It's, uh...m-mating season."

"Oh."

"I-I just wanted to let you know. W-we can talk about it, if you're not ready, it's ok." Jongin squeezed the smaller's hand, his ears flat with worry.

Kyungsoo just sat there, quietly searching Jongin's eyes. He blushed and looked down, "This must be important to you Nini, but I don't know anything. What's going to happen?"

Jongin straightened himself and took a deep breath. "W-well, once we...mate, you'll be officially mine. We'll be bonded for life."

Kyungsoo placed a hand on Jongin's cheek, "I'm okay with that. But...is anything else going to change?"

Jongin averted his gaze, "...You have to live with the pack. T-think of it as a marriage. I want to protect you, and once you're claimed, you'll be part of the family. And the pack has to stay as one--it's too dangerous to live scattered."

When Jongin looked back up to see the boy's reaction, Kyungsoo had a sad look on his face.

"T-this is why I've been worried..." Jongin's ears drooped and he looked down at his hands.

"Will I ever get to see my family again?" Kyungsoo's small voice broke through the silence. Jongin perked up quickly, "Of course! Whenever you want, I will bring you to see your family. We just can't live apart, the pack has to stay close."

Kyungsoo let out a sigh of relief, which released some of the tense atmosphere.

"I-I can do that. I'm old enough to move out anyway. But, what do I say to them? We have to act like it's a marriage, and you have to ask my family for my hand."

Jongin looked Kyungsoo in the eyes,

"If it means that I get to be with you, of course I'll do it."
