The Wolf Shifter's Love

Chapter 10

No you are not hallucinating, I have indeed made a triple update. Happy New Year Shifters, hope it's a good one!

Previously on The Wolf Shifter's Love:

My attention turns to the two in the bushes as the boy begins to talk to Yona.

"Those guys are weird. Absolutely weird. Kija doesn't seem like something of this world. That speed of the Thunder Beast is no human feat either" he says.

'So the White Dragon's name is Kija'

The boy looks to Yona and asks "do you want to help?"

"Hak told me I couldn't. I must be patient" she replies.

"But... you practiced four times like this, didn't you? According to my calculations... from the distance you are now...right there" He says pointing to a bandit.

'Is that a bow? She's going against the kings wishes' I think disapprovingly.

"The guy who is aiming for the Thunder Beast from behind. Point it a little upward... NOW!" He says as she releases the arrow and it hits its mark.

'I'm impressed but still disappointed'

I zone out of the conversation when I noticed a bandit coming up behind them. I sprint towards then as fast as I can.

'Kija and Hak won't get there in time, it's up to me'

I arrive as the guy grabs Yona. I pounce on him with a thunderous growl and rip out his throat in one strike.

Y/N POV

"I-Is that a wolf?!" The boy says alarmed.

I turn around and make eye contact with the two.

"(W/N)!!!!" Yona exclaims as she hugs me.

I growl slightly and she lets go.

'I'm still slightly annoyed about them leaving me, but I never liked hugs anyway so she'll probably think that's why I growled'

"Still not a hugger I see" she says with a giggle.

"You know this wolf?" The boy asks.

"Yes, she's mine" she replies.

'Well at least she didn't say pet'

Just then, Kija and Hak run over having finished the battle. That's when they see me.

"Princess watch out! There's a vicious wolf behind you!!!" Kija shouts in a panic.

I growl at him and glare.

"(W/N)! I'm glad to see you're ok, we thought you died back there" Hak says, petting my head.

I lean my head into his hand, enjoying the affection.

'What? I never said anything about hating Hak'

"You know this beast? It's huge, not the size of a normal wolf" kija exclaims

I growl yet again.

"She's not a beast, she's the princess' guard wolf. They were bound with some weird voodoo thing" Hak defends.

At that comment Kija head snaps towards me in wonder. He stares into my piercing (E/C) and opens his mouth to say something, but before he can he collapses to the ground.

'I think he knows I'm a Shifter'

"KIJA?!" Yona shouts in panic.

He groans in pain.

"Are you alright Kija?" Yona asks.

'Does he look alright to you, idiot'

"...yes. I acted a little too violently. I was supposed to display a more refined battle" He is cut off by Hak.

"No. I thought you did good. That bloody way the White Dragon deity fights... is so exhilarating. There was never someone who came at me seriously during the time I was at the castle." He says.

'That doesn't sound like Hak. He must not be in his right mind'

Just then he collapses to the ground unconscious.

'Yup told you so'

"Did he die?" Kija asks dumbly.

"HE'S NOT DEAD!" Yona shouts, hitting him over the head.

"Argh idiot! His wounds are reopening! His wounds haven't actually healed. He acts indifferent, but he was pretty roughened up" the boy says.

'I still don't know this Pretty Boy's name'

Kija had a look of deep thought on his face before saying, " Is he a monster?"

"I don't think I want to hear that from you" Pretty Boy says. "The sun is setting. We need to find somewhere to sleep"

"Hm? Is there an inn around here?" Kija asks.

"We're sleeping outside" Pretty Boy replies flatly.

"Sleeping outside?" He asks cluelessly.

I turn my attention to Yona who's attempting to move Hak and failing miserably. I walk over to her and lay next to the unconscious Hak. I gesture with my head to put him on my back. Kija then effortlessly lifts him onto my back, after noticing Yona's struggle.

"You're amazing Kija!" She exclaims.

I growl slightly 'I'm doing most of the work!'

She giggles, "you too (W/N)"

I let out a snort of annoyance and begin to follow the Pretty Boy. As I walk, Yona is glued to my side in worry for Hak.

"This man will be alright" Kija says.

"Yes... Hak is a strong person. Right now he can protect me, but someday I want to protect him" she says.

"Princess, even though you have always been within the castle... you are strong" Kija replies.

"I'm nowhere near strong" Yona says.

'Tch, you got that right'

"But you were not alarmed by the bandits" Kija counters.

"Right... bandits aren't scary. To me, nothing is more frightening than what happened that night"
She says and I growl at the mention of that night, frightening Kija slightly.

"Oh, Yoon is calling. Let's go" she shouts cheerily.

"Yes!" Kija replies.

'Hallelujah I know Pretty Boy's name, finally' I think as I follow the two to Yoon.
