I Saved Her

***

Yunho's POV

***

You have never felt so empty or bare. You felt... naked. When you left, you felt lost. You felt cold. You didn't know where to go. She was your home, but now, without her, you were homeless. 

Ever since their cabin burned down, the wolves had been housed at the safe house, while Hongjoong had them a new base built. One wolf didn't stay at the safe house. He found comfort in the woods.

You could smell him. Well, you could smell his bathroom. You could smell his spot. You came over a log that marked the edge of a creek bed. The creek was dry and with the abundance of fallen trees and logs that balance over the creek gave great protection from the elements.

You saw his pallet and small propane-powered hot plate. You skidded down the edge of the creek, landing on the soft soil of the creek. You approached the crafted "fort" that was made from blankets and tarps. You pushed up the "door". Wonho lied curled up on the ground in the middle of a nap.

His back muscle flexed, and his head peered over his shoulder, looking back at you, "Hey," he said in a sleepy voice.

"Hey," you said, sitting on the ground. Wonho turned over, flicking on an LED lantern. 

"What's wrong man?" he said, sitting up. You saw the feathered tattoo running over his chest and shoulder. It felt a stab in your chest. 

"I left," you said weakly. 

"Oh, man, I am really sorry to hear that," he said. He reached out and placed a hand on your shoulder. 

"Ever since she came back, it has been cold. Like... like she is dead or something," you said.

Wonho's face fell. "Yunho, you know that she is dead right,"

"What? No, she is living breathing. You saw her," you said, looking at the deranged wolf.

"Yunho, that's not her. She is in a place called the Veil. She is dreaming. This is it. This is the transition,"

"No, she talked to me; she was there."

"Yunho, she is a phoenix, but she hasn't transitioned. She can't just come back from the dead,"

"How do you know this?"

"The woman that works with Hitbang is my mother. She's a witch," Wonho said, leaning back, "There is no spark because she isn't there."

"But then why has she gotten so close with Shownu,"

"Your dreams are based in your subconscious. Her body is moving subconsciously trying to complete her transition. Apparently, she wasn't doing it fast enough so her body took over; she is just along for the ride," he said, "If I was you, I would just let her do her thing,"

"I understand," you clasped your hands together. Your stomach didn't feel right. This wasn't right. You felt knotted and anxious, "But I have nowhere to stay,"

Wonho let out a small laugh, "Well," he threw his hands around, "It's not much but you can stay in my tent if you want."

You felt a relief, "Thank you."

"Yunho, you know. You are very strong," Wonho said with a sincere voice.

"Then why do I feel so helpless," you chuckled, running your hand through your hair. 

"I know I couldn't watch someone I love struggle so much," he said cooly.

His words poked you in the stomach, "She is stronger than she looks,"

"No, I mean like, to see your girl, your own making have multiple mates, have to endure pain. Have you ever thought that if you hadn't bit her that she wouldn't have to go through all this... pain."

"Wonho, if I hadn't bit her, she would be dead." you went back to the day. You remember holding her body and feeling her shake and then suddenly go still. Everything in you told you she was gone but you had to try. "She was dead..., but I saved her. I knew since the day I met her at that damned bar that she was different. The way she thought. She always thinks so loudly. Then she was there at the penthouse, and she heard me. I guess I was thinking too loudly too." you chuckled, pausing from your rambling thoughts that fell out of your mouth as words, "I saved her."

Hey everyone, I know it has been a long time since I have updated this story, and honestly, it's because I have been really busy and I was not satisfied with my previous attempts at writing this part. I probably wrote his part four times. Four very different ways and I just didn't feel like it was right, but now I feel like this was a decent part that provided some new information.

I have been so busy recently because I got a job. I work at least five days a week and sometimes more, so I don't have a lot of free time. And when I do have free time, I just like sleep and recharge, but I have officially finished my freshman year of college, so at least, I have no more schooling for like a month or so because eventually, I will be taking summer classes.

Also, I am planning on changing my username. I am not sure what to yet, but it will defiantly have something to do with Yungi because all my social media have Yungi in the name. 

And the last thing, I have been wanting to read some fanfics recently, so I would really love it if y'all could suggest some of your favorites because I honestly don't know what to read. I hope you all are staying safe and healthy, and I hope to speak to you again soon!
