Shin-ah X Reader
My name is (Y/N) and I am a Wolf Shifter. For years I have been the loyal companion of Princess Yona and am bound...
"Do you want to kill me? It's only natural that you do. But I cannot die right now. Because there is something I must do. Goodbye, Yona" he says as he releases his hold on her.
He gives her a sad smile before turning swiftly and walking away. When he's out of sight, Yona's shaking legs give way and she collapses to the ground. She starts the breakdown crying, so I do the only thing I can think of. I crouch down and pull her into my arms as she starts to wail in anguish.
"Shh, it's going to be ok. I'm here, just let it all out" I sooth while tightening my embrace.
Soon Hak rounds the corner after hearing her cries. He must have been looking for us.
"Princess! Hey! What happened?! What-" he stops when he sees the state she's in.
I continue to rub her back comfortingly as I give Hak a look that I'll tell him later. He nods and looks of into the distance, as if knowing whatever caused this, went that way.

Y/N POV
When we return, Yona puts on a smile that may fool most, but I can see right through it. That meeting really shook her up and I can tell she isn't coping as well as she lets on.
"Kija! Wake up, wake up! How long are you going to sleep?" She slaps her hands on the table he's sleeping on.
Kija shoots up in a daze, while Vita growls in his Wolf form and snuggles further into Kija's side. How he managed to squeeze onto the small bench beside him, I'll never know.
"Y-Yes! I will do my best!" Kija exclaims, unaware of his surroundings.
"You're making a weird face, Kija" Yona giggles.
"Oh... you seem to be in high spirits, Princess" he comments after gaining focus.
"Of course! I'm happy and fine!" She smiles.
"Ah! Princess, that's-"
He gets cut off when ship trips, heading straight for a faceplant.
"Whoops" Hak swoops in and catches her.
'Damn, that would have been entertaining' I pout.
"Happy and fine!" She smiles and skips away.
"She is neither of those two things" I frown.
Hak turns to me with a serious expression. He wants an explanation.
"What happened?" He asks.
"She bumped into someone and I think you know who I'm referring to" I say, my voice lacking any emotion.
His face morphs into a look of anger as I leave him alone. Talking to him right now is not the best idea. I shift into my wolf form and follow the scent of my mate, I find him sat a short ways away from the group. He smiles as I flop down next to him and rest my head on his lap.
"Good morning" he greets while combing his fingers through my fur.
I grunt a greeting of my own as we silently enjoy each other's company. He continues to pet me as my tense form relaxes, the earlier encounter had me on edge. First the appearance of Celeritas and now Soo-won, fate can be cruel sometimes. I'm pulled from my thoughts when a small mass lands on my nose, when my eyes focus, I realise it's Ao.
"Pkyuu" she squeaks while pawing my forehead cutely.
Shin-ah chuckles when the action causes me to go cross eyed. I blink before growling playfully at him. Our attention is redirected when Yona walks by in a daze with part of Hak's attire draped over her shoulders. I make eye contact with Shin-ah, who gives me a nod of confirmation. I stand up and follow her, Ao moves to the top of my head and accompanies me. When we arrive in her room she notices us.
"I'm okay" she says quietly.
I huff and quirk an eyebrow, silently telling her I don't buy it. Once she finishes changing clothes, she just stares at her reflection in the mirror. It's clear she's thinking about this morning's unexpected meeting. I nudge her hand that no longer has a glove to hide her wolf symbol.
"I just need some time to think" She pats my head reassuringly.
I nod as she exits the room. Ao jumps off my head and I nudge her forward. She gets the idea and follows the Princess out of the room. I shift into my human form and watch the retreating figures.
"You're not alone. So don't you dare keep the burden to yourself" I say to nothing but open air.
(Time Skip brought to you by the Autobots)
After a short time, I exit the room. I later find Yoon, Kija, Shin-ah and Vita hiding behind a bush while watching what appears to be Yona and Hak.
"Eavesdropping seems to be becoming a habit in this group" I frown disapprovingly at the four.
They flinch at the sound of my voice before pulling me down with them. I glare at them, but decide to tune into the conversation too.
"Hak... I am leaving this place. Come with me" Yona says while clutching Hak's sleeve.
"Okay" he sends her a charming smile.
It's at that moment when Kija leans forward too far and ends up falling on top of Yoon. Vita and I burst into a fit of giggles in response.
"You guys, what're you doing?" Yona asks after discovering us.
"Ah, I- well" Kija stumbles for an excuse.
"Hold on, Yona. Tell that sort of thing to us too" Yoon speaks up from the ground.
"Huh?" She looks at him in confusion.
"Don't 'Huh?' Me. I'm talking about the departure. It's not fair if you don't say that when everyone is around" He scolds.
"That is right, Princess! We Four Dragons would go to the ends of the Earth if you ordered us to!" Kija exclaims.
"You can go home now" Hak says in boredom.
"WHAAT?!" Kija rages.
"There are only two of you 'Four Dragons' in the first place" Hak informs.
"SHUT UP!" Kija takes a threatening step forward as Vita tries to calm him.
"Everyone!" Yona gains everyone's attention. "Tomorrow I am leaving Awa. Could you... come along with me?"
"Together!"
"..."
"What a pain"
"I suppose I can accompany you"
"I go where Alpha goes!"
"What?!" Yona exclaims at the mixed reactions.
I chuckle in amusement.
'This will surely be a journey to remember'
