Promise

Hongjoong

He was just a stray.

Someone that a member of the pack took in and raised since he was a pup. He never had a family, never had friends, all he ever was to anyone in the pack was a stray. Except, to Park Seonghwa.

He was only older than him, Seonghwa being born in April while he was born in November of 1998. The Omega was kind, always showing love and always caring, he was the Head Alpha's son, the next Luna of the pack they were both in.

As they grew older, Hongjoong fell more in love with the beautiful Omega. He wasn't a sight himself, sure his personality was gold, but being a homeless wolf, he was always dirty and occasionally smelled like he hasn't had a bath in weeks. Seonghwa always found a way to give him food, sneak him in his home while his parents were sleeping so he can shower, and best of all, he gave Hongjoong a friend.

By the age of eighteen, both were madly in love with one another, Hongjoong made it his personal mission to court Seonghwa and eventually ask the Omega for his hand in marriage. With permission of the head alpha. But it all came crashing down when Seonghwa came to him crying. His father has arranged a marriage for him with another alpha from a powerful pack, in hopes to conjoin the packs together and become one fearful pack when a time of war comes.

Hongjoong was furious of course, so he came up with a plan of escape. His plans came to a hault when Seonghwa begged him to stop seeing him, a black eye prominent under the makeup he used to try and hide it. Hongjoong knew the love of his life was being abused, Seonghwa was more quiet, he always flinched around Hongjoong's presence even when he knows the Alpha isn't going to hurt him. His eyes didn't scream happiness, they screamed sadness and for help.

The day before the wedding arrives, and Hongjoong makes his final move. While Seonghwa's fiancé slept, after some help of Seonghwa drugging him to sleep, Hongjoong sneaks in and wakes the sleeping Omega quietly and both flee into the night. They didn't stop running once, their pack link slowly slipping away into nothing.

When they finally cross the Korean border into China, they stop for a break and talk.

"I'm scared," Seonghwa whispers, looking deep into Hongjoong's copper eyes. His own blue eyes were gorgeous, flashing with worry as he cuddles close to Hongjoong for warmth.

"I know, I am too," Hongjoong whispers, kissing Seonghwa's temple, "We're safer now that we're in China. Tomorrow, let's find some territory that's not been taken.... and we'll go from there."

They eventually find a small territory and made it their own, hunting together and building a small house for each other. They grow closer, especially with Seonghwa's heats, but both of them knew their journey isn't quite yet over for them.
