Trapped in their Devotion

Ch.1

Jiang Yanli had gotten married and moved out.

Jiang Cheng had moved out soon after once he graduated from the police academy and became a cop.

And Wei Ying? He wanted to be a musician but his dreams were crushed when he failed to get any sort of sponsor or record deal.
"Nobody's interested in your shrill music."
"It's best to give up." They had said.

The worst day of his life only got worse when he went home. Madam Yu berated him for all their wasted effort and money on him to become a musician. She shoved all his belongings into a trash bag as Wei Ying begged for her to give him some time to just find a job. She ignored his pleas and harshly shoved him out the door with his stuff.
"Don't come back." She stated firmly as she slammed the door shut.

Wei Ying held back his tears as he picked up his stuff and left. He couldn't go to Jiang Yanli because she was building a family of her own now and he couldn't go to Jiang Cheng because their relationship has been terrible ever since Jiang Cheng became a cop.

He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't even notice he was crossing the street. He also didn't notice a truck coming at him full speed. Wei Ying looked up to see the truck just before it him and just like that Wei Ying's life came to an end.

Wei Ying's eyes shot open and he shot up into a sitting position.
"Where the hell am I..." Wei Ying mumbled confused as he looked around at the seemingly endless forest.
Wei Ying felt something fuzzy tickling his tailbone and wondered if he had sat on some poor animal. He reached behind him and yelped in surprise when he felt a small fluffy tail. In a panic he quickly reached up and felt the long fuzzy bunny ears on the top of his head.
"What the hell is this!!" Wei Ying exclaimed.

Wei Ying would have contemplated what to do and how to get out of this forest but every single one of his thoughts were destroyed as he heard the familiar growl of dogs. All his thoughts went into a absolute panic as he saw four large dogs emerge from the bushes. Wei Ying scrabbled away from the terrifying creatures only for his back to hit a tree. His heart sunk into his stomach as he came to the dreadful realization that he was surrounded.

Wei Ying felt tears drip down his face and steadily began sobbing as they got closer.
"S-stay awa-away from m-me" Wei Ying cried.
Wei Ying's brain was going a mile a minute but it abruptly came to a stop when a large white tiger suddenly stood before him.

The tiger growled at the large dogs and they easily gave up as they whimpered before running off. His tears slowed as he stared blankly at the... the... white tiger? Wei Ying watched curiously as the tiger morphed into a beautiful man about his age.
"Are you alright?" The man asked and it took a moment for Wei Ying to process the question before he nodded.
"The rabbit tribe is far from here... I will bring you back home with me to the tiger tribe for now." He said and Wei Ying nodded before speaking.
"What's your name?" Wei Ying asked as he stood up from the ground.
"Lan Zhan." He replied.
"Nice to meet you Lan Zhan, my name is Wei Ying." Wei Ying said smiling brightly.
"Mn, riding on my back will be faster." Lan Zhan said as he morphed back into a tiger and Wei Ying was confused only for a second before he understood.

Wei Ying climbed onto the white tiger that was roughly twice the size of him. Once he settled on top of Lan Zhan he couldn't help but think that his fur was extremely soft. Wei Ying couldn't help but basically hug Lan Zhan as he brought him to what he had called the tiger tribe. Wei Ying gently rubbed his cheek against Lan Zhan's fur and weirdly wanted to just purr at how soft and warm it is.

Lan Zhan's pace slowed and Wei Ying sat up to see a village with many people walking the streets, most of them having a tigers qualities but none of them were white like Lan Zhan. As they go further into the village people started greeting Lan Zhan as second young master.

"Lan Zhan, I see you have brought back a omega from the bunny tribe." A man said as he approached them and Wei Ying noticed he had white ears and tail just like Lan Zhan's.
Wei Ying didn't know what a omega was but knew better than to question it since he was supposed to know.
"Mn." Lan Zhan said simply and chatter started to break out around them.
"As expected of the second young master of the tiger tribe to find such a rare beauty."
"Who knew such a beautiful omega existed."
"Woah, how lucky~"
"Wish I could find a omega like that!"
Wei Ying only felt more confused at all the chatter. How was he beautiful? He was at most considered average in his world. Wei Ying could only assume most omegas were ugly.

"I wish you the best of luck then." The man said with a gentle smile, the opposite of Lan Zhan's emotionless expression.
"Mn. I will see brother later." Lan Zhan said as walked away with Wei Ying.

'What kind of a conversation was that!!!??? All Lan Zhan said was 'mn' what was he even wishing him luck for!?!?!?!?' Wei Ying's mind screamed in frustration at the lack of understanding.

Lan Zhan stopped in front of a small house that was similar to the rest of the village. The houses here seemed to be simple and made mostly of wood but definitely out dated compared to Wei Ying's world. There was no floor and nobody wore shoes or clothes like the ones in his world. Wei Ying didn't think deeply about it till now but he was also wearing the same kind of clothes as most of the people here. The clothes were just simple cloth that covered from the chest to roughly mid thigh. Although he noticed some men only wore cloth that covers from their hip to mid thigh.

"Is this your house?" Wei Ying asked as he got off Lan Zhan's back.
"Mn, have a house in the city of beasts too." Lan Zhan said as he morphed to look human again.
"The city of beasts? What's that?" Wei Ying asked, the rest of places like the tiger tribe and the bunny tribe were pretty self explanatory.
"You don't know...?" He asked and Wei Ying realized he was probably supposed to know. Wei Ying nodded and Lan Zhan answered his question,
"The city of beasts is the biggest gathering of beastmen in our region. My mother and father are there so I will take you there sometime."
"Are they white tigers like you?" Wei Ying asked out of curiosity.
"Mother is. Father is not." Lan Zhan said.
"Really? Why is it so rare? I think it's really pretty." Wei Ying asked but regretted it when he felt the mood drop.
"Mother said it is disliked and rare because it is a disadvantage when hunting.... many omega dislike this..." Lan Zhan said calmly.
"I don't really care about things like that!" Wei Ying giggled thoughtlessly.

The ghost of a smile graced Lan Zhan's face and Wei Ying could feel the heat rising in his cheeks.
"Mn, stay here and I will bring a doctor here to examine you to make sure you are alright. It is not good for omegas to wander from their tribe without a alpha." Lan Zhan said and Wei Ying nodded since it would do no harm.
