[ smut warning ]

Jinyoung fussed and you asserted yourself with a throaty growl. His ear was almost healed, but you gave him a few extra licks simply because he was ticklish.

She-wolves were healers by nature. A little extra magic flowed through your veins. Some wolves believed the moon goddess gifted her beautiful females with the blessing. Others claimed it was merely an evolutionary trait to help with childbirth.

You favored the belief that the goddess smiled upon you a little more.

Jinyoung watched the mock battle with worrisome eyes. Jaebeom and Jackson had a penchant for roughness when they battled; a bad habit that led to many injuries (including the gash to Jinyoung's ear you were currently soothing), but neither seemed to care. Especially now that they had a female to impress.

This had been the first time you joined them in the backyard for their usual sparring beneath the full moon. So long as they didn't seriously wound each other, you were not opposed to their methods of burning off steam.

But fighting wasn't the only reason male wolves dueled. It also served as practice for when heat came and the brothers would go to war for the rights to the female - you.

As you finished cleaning Jinyoung's cut with your rough tongue, you brushed your muzzle over his cheek with affection. He returned the gesture and gleamed at your touch, touching his nose to yours.

You were well aware that the pair of wolves were growing louder and more impatient in their attempts to seize your attention. Males always offered displays of their strength to attract females, but you had made it rather clear you were not the least bit interested in shows of violence.

Jackson goaded Jaebeom all the more. The alpha male had been demonstrating his prowess in battle for your benefit only and you had ignored him. The midnight wolf rounded on Jackson to answer his brother's challenge and Jackson had not been ready to rebuff him.

When a screeching yelp shot through the air, you were on your paws faster than you thought possible. Charging toward the fight, Jaebeom was already pacing backwards in surprise as Jackson lay in a heap on the ground. You thrust yourself between the alpha and delta, giving Jaebeom the snarl of a lifetime as he turned his ears outward in confusion.

Moving to Jackson, you assessed him for damage and swiped your tongue over his brow in comfort. Then, you angled back to Jaebeom and bared your teeth, growling until he had moved a little further away.

Mark finally rose from his lounging position at the foot of a tree and approached, suspecting his brother was unhurt. At your shoulder, he released a long yawn and chided, How long do you plan on laying there?

Jackson hopped to his feet and gave his thick brown coat a hard shake. Well, excuse me, he exclaimed, wagging his tail.

You snorted, thoroughly annoyed at being tricked, and nipped at Jackson's furry flank in chastisement. Ever heard of the boy who cried wolf, you asked lowly.

Jackson slipped his snout beneath your own to lift your head above his and rubbed his cheek against your neck in apology. Ever heard of the boy who became a wolf, he retorted with mischief.

You rolled your eyes and headed back toward Jinyoung, smacking Jackson's face with your fluffy tail as you left.

Jaebeom still stood in his previous spot where he had been scolded, paws spaced apart, and exclaimed, And where is my apology?

You cocked your head slightly over your shoulder as you trotted away and replied, I stand by it. Be gentle.

Jaebeom huffed, smoke practically steaming from his nostrils with fury as he watched you sway your hips from side to side haughtily. Jackson galloped away with a laugh and was not at all surprised when Jaebeom was hot on his heels in pursuit.
