Horizon | ATEEZ - Omegaverse

Chapter Twelve

Mingi leads the pack he's in charge of through the forest, knowing they'll be getting to the outskirts of Essence soon. Mingi's senses start to become a bit distracted at an unfamiliar lemon scent coming from somewhere. He knows it's none of his alphas' scent. He feels a small tugging on his heart the closer they're getting closer to it. The anticipation is building from not knowing where this citrusy scent is coming from.

Mingi can hear his heart pounding in his chest, but he doesn't let it distract him too much, knowing he must continue to lead his pack. Excitement is filling his body because he knows his parents would tell him how before they even met each other, they would be able to smell each other's scent from extreme distances. All of his family's fated mates have been like that.

Mingi knows he shouldn't be excited in a time like this, but he's waited so long to finally meet his other half that he can't help it. Will they really meet today, or are they just nearby?

The closer they get, the stronger the scent becomes and Mingi's head is becoming more and more clouded with curiosity of where his fated mate is and a branch breaks beneath his foot. He's looking a slightly different way when he hears his packmates start to sprint and Mingi immediately kicks himself back in gear, running with his pack towards a group of wolves that seem like they're patrolling.

Next thing Yunho knows, he's being pinned down on the forest floor by an extremely large wolf he knows is an alpha, "HELP!" Yunho yelps through their link and all of his packmates instantly rush over and a fight breaks out. All of the alphas are at each other's throats and Yunho can't seem to get out from under this large brown wolf on top of him.

Yunho's wolf cries for help, wanting to get out from under this unfamiliar wolf he can only assume is one of Bloodbane's alphas. Yunho nips at the wolf's neck, attempting to distract it to get away, but the alpha doesn't budge.

Yunho's eyes widen and his heart is racing in what he can only assume are his final moments. He never even got to help. He could never do anything. He couldn't help his father, he couldn't even help his own pack at this time of need. All he could ever do was try, but it was never enough, Yunho thought. The alpha on top of Yunho is about to go in to rip his throat out and all Yunho can do is try to accept his inevitable fate at the jaws of the enemy.

Until suddenly, the wolf on top of Yunho is thrown off of him and hits a nearby tree with enough force to take the entire tree down. Whimpers can be heard in the distance from the flung wolf and Yunho lies cowering on the cold forest ground.

"Do NOT touch him!"

Yunho's eyes widen at the booming and powerful voice that echoes throughout the forest, it seems to make even the trees shake. All the smaller animals had already scurried off from all of the destruction the wolves had caused

Yunho turns his head, looking towards the cause to see a gigantic dark grey wolf and his entire body feels like it's about to burst. Yunho's mind becomes empty, only to be replaced by the wolf he's staring at's appearance and his nose to only be filled with that invigorating scent of rosemary he's been focused on for the last half hour.
