Previously on The Wolf Shifter's Love:

"You're as oblivious as ever, you know that?" I tease.

"There's no way he likes me like that" she continues.

"All I'm going to say is that when he looks at you, it's full of love. At least consider the fact that he may like you and please... don't hurt him" I say seriously "he doesn't know it, but he's like a brother to me. I'd hate to see him heartbroken".

Something changes in Yona's eyes and she smiles.

"Ok" she says.

With that we walk over to the guys, only to see there attention fully on us. Yoon and Kija are smirking, while Shin-ah and Hak have a slight tinge of pink in their cheeks.

'What were they talking about?'

I just shrug my shoulders and sit next to Shin-ah. We then start to plan our journey to find the Green Dragon.

"I sense the Green Dragon is in that direction" Kija says, pointing into the distance. Yoon opens up his map and scans the area.

"Hmm, judging from the direction Kija pointed, the Green Dragon is in this vicinity" he gestures to an area on the map. "But that'd lead us straight to the city of Saika and Hiryuu Palace. We'd better take the long route along the mountains then"

With that said, we pack up and head off to find the Green Dragon.

(Time skip brought to you by Loki...again...because I love him)

"Shin-ah! Do you see anyone?" Yona calls out to Shin-ah, who is currently in a tree. He jumps down from the tree next to me and shakes his head 'no' to Yona.

"No one huh? Okay! Let's go" Yoon says enthusiastically. "Long range vision is incredible! It makes finding empty roads so easy".

As we walk further, I sniff the air and immediately cringe, as a disgusting stench seeps into my nose.

"What's wrong (Y/N)?" Yona asks, gaining everyone's attention.

"I smell disease up ahead. It's likely to be a run down village" I reply.

"You can smell that from here?" She questions.

"Of course, being a Wolf Shifter means I have heightened senses. I can hear, smell and even see better than the average human" I reply proudly.

"Don't you think this information could have helped us a long time ago" Hak says, clearly annoyed.

"Yes, but I didn't feel the need to tell you" I smile innocently.

I hear Shin-ah lightly chuckle at my antics.

'Gods, I love that sound. Wait what?'

"And why's that?" He continues.

"Well, we weren't exactly on great terms now were we?" I smirk.

"She's got a point" Yona adds.

Hak sighs in defeat, as we continue to the village. Once we arrive, everyone stands in shock, aside from Yoon and I.

'Geez, it's like they've never seen something like this before... oh right they probably haven't, given their sheltered lives'

I scan the area, as Yoon talks about its history and how he used to live. I seen a hooded figure hiding behind an old building. I try to take a closer look, but I get distracted by a man coughing. When I look back, the figure is gone.

'Who was that?'

"Are you ok?" Yona starts, but Yoon holds her back.

"Stay back so you don't get sick to" He says.

"But..." before she can finish, Yoon walks over to the man with some medicine.

"It's not much, but here's some medicine, water and fruit" he says, kneeling beside the man. Yona walks over and takes the water from Yoon, helping the man drink it. Yoon smiles at this.

"A-are you people from Saika?" The man asks.

"No, we're travelers" Yoon replies.

"Ahh. Have you been to Kuuto, then? I hear a new King took the throne. I wonder what he's like. King Il was a terrible ruler. He'd always yield to pressure from other lands. His only concern was avoiding trouble. When tribes revolted and got out of control, he didn't try to help powerless citizens like us. Whose interests was he even looking after? I hope this new King will be better. Someone who will change this land. Oh... thank you young lady. It's been so long since anyone reached out to me" the man says. I just watch with an emotionless expression.

"Don't mention it, I hope you get better" she replies, lacking her usual happiness. "I-I'll be right back...don't follow me" She says. With that, she walks out of view.

I sigh, 'I can hear her crying from here, I suppose I should go comfort her'

"I'll be right back" I say to Shin-ah and head towards Yona's location. Once I reach Yona, I crouch down in front of her.

"I said not to follow me" she looks up with tears in her eyes.

"Now when have I ever done what you told me to do?" I say smirking. This makes her smile.

"Never" she giggles.

"Good, you smiled" I say triumphantly. "Don't pay any mind to what that man said. He didn't know King Il like we did" I say seriously.

"But-"

"No but's. Now let's get back before they worry. You know Hak's a worry wart, he does love you after all" I wink.

"(Y/N)! No he doesn't!" She exclaims, back to her normal self.

I just grin at her "whatever you say~"

She lunges at me, but I swiftly dodged her 'attack' and run towards the others with her chasing after me.

"What are you two doing?" Hak asks.

"Well I was just telling Yona how much you l-" I'm cut off by Yona's hand covering my mouth. I lick her hand.

"Eww! (Y/N)!" I run, hiding behind Shin-ah, giggling.

"What?" I say innocently. Yona just huffs in annoyance next to a very confused Hak.

'Hmm, maybe these emotions aren't so bad after all' I smile to myself.

To Be Continued...
