Second Mate

11

"Get down Yaejin." Kireum shouted. Seokjin who heard that quickly ducked down grabbing Yaejin close to his chest when suddenly a small knife flying straight to them. Luckily, the knife was tucked on the ground inches from them.

A bunch of rogue werewolves turned to human then came out from bushes surrounded them. Seokjin's guards were on defense stood covering the three of them. Seokjin glared to the one of the rogues.

"What do you want?" He asked to the one he bore his eyes to in which the one in the middle. He was tall and his face was a bit rough with a scar across his left cheek making him looked really bad. He seemed relax with it and Seokjin could guess he was the leader. His sharp eyes never left the guy.

"Well, well you do know what actually we want, don't you alpha." The rogue slightly smirk showing his canine.

Yaejin mumbled a spell to protect herself. Not that she being selfish but it was needed that she must take care of herself. Alas she had experiences being attacked since small and some of them almost sent her to death that she needed to be ready to protect herself more than anything.

The said rogue changed his gaze towards Yaejin. "You should come with me princess. The master needs you."

"No, I won't." She spat. The wolf then raised his brow but still smirking.

"Oh, fiesty little one. That's interesting. Too bad your mate didn't want you. But, if you follow me, the master will be glad to be your mate. Or...are you prefer to be with me, princess?"

The female rogue who was next to him nudged her arm alarmed him. "It's not time to play Jo Kwon. We need to get her to master. And don't ever think to touch her. Do you want to be killed?" She warned.

"Tsk." He glared to his companion. "I know what I'm doing." He growled.

Seokjin watched him with intensed. He had to protect Yaejin with all his life, he promised himself when he wanted to follow her. He didn't know why but he felt he had soft spot in his heart for her. He must protect her.

Yaejin too watched the scene carefully. Her father already mindlinked her other altenatives that she could do if she was in danger. She sometimes checking her surrounding left to right occasionally without letting the enemy realized it.

Her attention went back to the rogue who spoke earlier as he talking something.

"Princess, come with me now or else these guys over here including your dearest daddy will be dead."

"Come and get me you if you can."

As a cue, all the rogues started move forward and attacked the guards. 

Seokjin quickly got in front Yaejin protecting her from the attack. Her father was on the other side receiving hits from the rogue who then turned wolf. Lucky he was on defense quickly so he dodged it with ease. Kireum then found a perfect time to change to his wolf before moving forward to Yaejin's side, giving time to Seokjin to change to his wolf.

Seokjin saw that and he started to change causing his cloth ripped into two and stood in front Yaejin a beautiful big but strong wolf hissed showing his canine towards the enemy. Yaejin so intimidated on such a beautiful wolf but she quickly focused on the scene.

There were more than ten rogues surrounding them, each one fighting with the guards and Yaejin too fought with her small sword she brought together. She couldn't change though so the only weapon she had was the sword. She did learn some skills including swords skill to defend herself as she knew her magic skill couldn't protect her enough. She dodged quite a few wolves that aimed her before moving swiftly her sword making cuts and bruises and even killed some of them. She could feel her protection spell slowly decreased but she didn't have time to make a new spell. She just continued to fight until her spell fully broken.

Then, she-wolf next to the leader of the rogues suddenly could went through the bunch of guards and moved her legs, wanting to go to Yaejin. Yaejin was so engrossed in fighting with another wolf that she couldn't felt the wolf came closed to her. The wolf's legs moved so fast as she opened her mouth so big, biting Yaejin's right leg. It caused Yaejin to scream before stumbling down and being pulled. Her sword was slipped and fell on the ground. She turned to look at the wolf before looking at her father who still busy fighting another wolf.

Yaejin cursed knowing her father didn't realize on her situation, so she had to think fast to let herself go from the wolf. She lifted up her other leg and kicked the wolf hard but to her dismay the wolf didn't budge to let go her leg. She dugged her fingers on the sand creating marks across the dirt, looking for something.

"Let me go!" She screamed. She could feel her bitten leg getting numb but she didn't give up. Her other leg still kicked the wolf, she could hope the wolf would finally let her go by continous kick on its face. And it seemed successful when suddenly the wolf let go of her - as she kicked its face quite hard making it stumbled and winced in pain.

Yaejin crawled so fast moving away from the wolf, frowning looking at her leg when she got up on one feet leaned herself on the tree to take few deep breaths before looking for hiding place.

Seokjin just realized Yaejin wasn't at his side, looking around before settling his orbs on injured Yaejin. He growled ferocious, bitting hard the wolf in his hand ripping his throat, leaving the now dead wolf behind. He ran towards Yaejin but the leader of the rogues was also running. Both of them fiercely clashed each other, bitting and fighting making Yaejin leaned her back in fear.

She wanted to scream but she knew she couldn't make her freely visible to others, she turned around quickly searched for a place to hide. She spotted a bulky tree with a lot of bushes, a quite strategic place to hide. She walked limping tried as fast as she could to the said place before any wolves found her. Not that she realized, the wolf that injured her came to her again aiming for her leg once again.

Somehow she could sense the wolf came for her, she managed to turn her head a bit and she regretted what she saw. The wolf was so closed to her she thought she would be caught again. Getting close to the place, she tried to jump into the bushes but she fell off to the ground, hissing in pain. Again, she cursed herself for her stupid mistake but stopped it in the middle when she heard growl behind her back, she felt instantly gave up to move.

She shut her eyes, accepting her fate to be caught again...

But nothing happened after few seconds she closed her eyes. Wondering what was happened, she opened her eyes slowly and instantly she felt intrigued as she saw....

A big dark brown wolf stood back facing her with his big paw pushed the enemy's head on the ground strangely hard making the others whined painfully.
