It's been a little more than a week and his life came back to how it was before Minseok barged in. His lunch was peaceful, even though he was sure Suho was sending him mean looks from time to time. Baekhyun guessed that Suho knew and that was confirmed when he saw a bit of a mate bite on Suho's skin, right between his neck and shoulder.

Usually it was hidden by his collar but not that day. So Suho was a human and a wolf's mate. Baekhyun sighed thinking every thing in his life had to be about wolves.

But now it was Tuesday and his work ended earlier than the other days so he was going to enjoy it. At 3pm he got out of his last class with contentment. He planned a good work out and couldn't wait to get to it. After getting change in the locker room, he went to leave the building.

'Wait Baekhyun !" a voice called out.

He stopped and turned his head to see the receptionist ran towards him. Jennie was a beautiful woman, working part-time here while attending college. Her hair tied in a ponytail swayed from left to right with her quick pace.

"I ... oh god give me a minute to catch my breath" she said with her hands on her knees.

"You're aware that you ran for what ? like one minute ? maybe two ?" asked Baekhyun with a smirk.

"Hey don't sass me okay ? The reception is far from the staff room ! But I need you to come with me. You have to sign a paper from one of your student, the kid that kicked his bully. As he is going to the championship next month, his school wants an official paper for his absence." she explained while feeling her heartbeat like she was about to collapse.

She was thin but never worked out, Baekhyun made fun of her each time she had to do something that involve physical effort. He followed her to the entry hall and saw the boy with his mother. He smiled politely at the woman and winked at the kid. Jennie handed him the paper and he signed it. He returned the file and waved goodbye.

He stepped out of the complex and looked at his watch. He thought he could use a coffee before going to the gym. His eyes roamed around the street out of habit and he froze on the spot. Across the road on a bench looking flawless with casual clothes was Chanyeol. The alpha rose his head from his phone as if he had sensed him and smirked while moving his hand holding a coffee.

Baekhyun frowned but chose to ignore the other man. He saw Chanyeol watching him as he walked away and felt the burning rage inside of him reviving. Down the road he turned over and he still could distinguish Chanyeol looking at him. He swore to every god he knew the name of to let him live peacefully without any damn wolf.

But unfortunately his prayers remained unanswered and he saw the alpha on Thursday as he was leaving his work. He groaned especially when they locked gaze. He rubbed his temples and marched towards the male.

He didn't care that a car honked because he crossed the street without checking both sides. He stopped right in front of the alpha who was seating at the exact same place. They stayed quite some time like that, engulfed in silence. The smirk on the other's face annoyed Baekhyun. The weird feeling slowly invaded his veins and it didn't help him to calm down.

"What are you doing here ?" he spat.

"Just chilling, drinking a coffee. Things normal human beings do." answered Chanyeol, sporting a innocent look while his voice was wrapped with sarcasm. Baekhyun inhaled deeply when he realized Chanyeol just used his own words against him.

"I see you have great memory alpha. I assume that's not the only thing you remember about that night right ?"

"Well I prefer the first night we met. But I admit that on both nights you were hot." Chanyeol said with a sly smile and a wink. "About that, want to continue what we were doing at the club ?"

Baekhyun rose his fist but sighed. He couldn't let the other won that little game. Plus he would not tolerate such words from Chanyeol. The alpha needed to learn not to mess with him. Letting his hand fall, he smiled the most fake smile he ever did and leaned a little bit, like he was about to tell a secret to Chanyeol.

"You know, after I figured your, how to phrase it, truth ? Well after that, I found myself a really good partner. Oh Alpha you should have seen that, manly, mature, handsome and the size ..." He let his sentence hanging. He felt proud when he noticed the clenched jaw of Chanyeol. He ran a finger on it before giving it a little tap. He was about to leave, feeling like he had won, when Chanyeol spoke again.

"I cleary remember you calling someone else handsome." Baekhyun cursed, and turned around. He caught Chanyeol ogling him and shivered. He wished he hadn't cross that road. His fingers itched, he wanted so bad to have his knife in his hands.

" If only I could fucking kill you !" he grunted.

" Same, minus the « kill » part " Chanyeol wasn't done with him and Baekhyun didn't even how to answer now. It was going too far.

"Listen here, the last thing I need is a horny alpha so go find yourself a pretty alpha, beta, omega or whatever the fuck you want and leave me alone. You know what ? Find a mate so nobody will have to endure your lame pick up lines." He saw a glint of something in Chanyeol's eyes at his words but it faded instantly.

"Enough of that okay ?" offered Chanyeol. "I never got to introduce myself properly. Park Chanyeol" he said while extended his hand.

"And you really think I'm going to give you my name ? You're dumb" snorted Baekhyun.

"Oh I know your name Baekhyun. Minseok spent two full weeks talking about his new mysterious friend. You should have seen his smile when he told me he made you laugh." Chanyeol suddenly said with a serious face. " You hurt him" he added.

"Well it would have been worst if the dogs had touched him. He needs to understand how your world works." Baekhyun retorted with a stern voice.

They stared at each other in silence. They completely forgot where they were, having their argument in a street at 6pm. Baekhyun pushed the guilt aside because he knew he had done the right thing. He may had been harsh but he was like that. Sugar coated things weren't going to help Minseok. But Chanyeol didn't seem like he thought the same. It was not Baekhyun's problem if the alpha couldn't understand his mistakes.

"You are really ..." started Chanyeol with a threatening voice.

"Really what ? It's your fault if the poor boy can't protect himself. Don't put the blame on me. Now I had enough of your stupid word play."

And he left. He had to refrain himself from running all the way to the gym because he couldn't wait to let out all his anger and frustration. That night he stayed more than three hours locked in his room. He used too much his fist, resulting in his knucles being bruised. Mr Choi left before him so he ended locking the gym. He switched off all the light, made sure the backdoor was locked before going to the front door.

Once he closed it he headed straight back home not wasting anytime to look at the star. His mind full of different feelings he didn't want, he whimpered. He was physically exhausted but his brain was still functional.

He was so caught up in his own thought that he didn't heard the steps approaching him. A whistling sound drilled his ears and he threw a glare towards the origin of the noise. Two men were checking him out not that far away and he could see the lust in their eyes.

He smelled the air and groaned. No wolves. Only some stupid humans. He ignored them and kep walking. He felt relieved when nothing more happened and sped up to reach home faster.
