Jaehyun’s POV
My throat burns and my eyes stings.
I am in the midst of a cold and foggy mountain but everything feels uncomfortably hot. I don’t know why my skin feels itchy.
"Fuck" I curse as I rack out a bloodstained cough.
"Poison, Poison" two female voices say simultaneously to and I pull out my pistol at them. "He is poison" another says from behind and I growl at them, furious at the mocking tone they are addressing with
"Do you want to die?" One of the first two voices say and I tilt my head at the faceless figure.
"Do you want to die?" I ask back with a cocky smirk on my face, acting the sa way I will act in reality. Careless and playful.
"We warned him, he didn’t listen, this will be his downfall!" the voice behind declare with anger evident in his voice and the three of them burst into laughter. Throwing their faceless heads back as they let out the bone chilling sounds, and instead of being scared, I also join them in laughing.
Still laughing, I open my eyes, and I am awake in my bedroom. I blink twice and I have a feeling that sothing has gone from . I am well aware that I just woke up from a chilling dream but for so reason I can’t rember any part of it.
"Ugh fuck" I mutter to myself and press a hand to my eyes to try and soothe the throbbing behind my eyes.
My head aches dully, my mouth feels like it has been stuffed with cotton, and the golden sunlight filtering into the room burns my eyes even though the rays are soft. With difficulty, I turn to my side and mories of the previous night floods my mind.
I rember in bits and pieces, how I had gotten into my car and drove like a mad man the second I got the na of the man who killed the child. I rember going manic and ending his pathetic life right in the middle of the highway for every eye to watch and see.
Then I also rembered the way my body had fallen to the snowy ground after being shot. The mory of the gunshot makes rub at the bandage on my stomach and hiss quietly, offended at whoever it was that pulled the trigger on , "fucking bastard" I curse.
My torso hurts and I feel the frustrating weakness of my body, I groan and shut my eyes to try and kill so of the pain I am feeling. At the shutting of my eyes, my sense of sll seems to sharpen and I catch a whiff of Yujun’s pheromones.
I turn again to the other side, the place where his scent is stronger and my alpha huffs, extrely pleased with my lungs being filled up with the intoxicating Jasmine scent of the oga I had protected for days.
Yujun and I kissed.
That one mont rushes back to , and I sit up as quickly as I can despite my aching body to sniff the air for his location, curious about his whereabouts and just in ti I hear a loud crash coming from the outside of my bedroom, followed by a deep groan of a man.
At alert, I shoot out of bed and grab my handy Walther PPK from under my pillow. Unstable on my feet, I take unsteady steps out of my room into the kitchen, only to be greeted by the sight of Taeho on his back with his body being pinned to the floor by Yujun who is on top him.
And despite Yujun pinning Taeho down, the rim of Taeho’s gun is pressed into Yujun’s back.
"What the fuck..." I say loudly and they both snap their heads to , and taking advantage of the brief distraction, Taeho flips their position and throws Yujun to the floor with a loud thud.
"Stop it!" I bark at them and they both freeze again. "Taeho get off him" I growl and Taeho bares his teeth at , "Taeho" I call his na with authority and his face shifts from aggressive to shocked, "get the fuck off him" I say, punctuating each word with force.
Taeho eyes carefully before obeying and getting off of Yujun, I hurry over to the oga to help him up, "are you okay?" I ask him softly, searching his body for any damages that Taeho might have caused.
"You better have a good explanation for why this vermin is in your ho, why he’s dressed in your clothes and why he fucking slls like you" Taeho’s harsh voice cuts out of my worry and I look over my shoulder at him, "I was shot" I say simply.
"Of course you were shot!, you have a vermin in your house" Taeho says and Yujun shrugs my hands off his body. The oga slls like but I can sll his own scent souring underneath in displeasure.
My Alpha whines after Yujun as he goes into the bathroom without looking at , I watch him leave and when he is out of sight, I turn to look at Taeho who looks utterly livid at my distraction with Yujun.
"Since when did our enemy start having playdates with you and none of our clan mbers knows?" Taeho asks angrily and tucks his gun into his holster. "His na is Yujun, not ’vermin’ or ’enemy’" I sigh and go over to sit on the stool in my kitchen, my legs can no longer bear my weight.
"Have you gone crazy? Were you shot in the head?" Taeho asks, walking over to check my head for injuries. I shake his hands off my head and place my own pistol on the counter to look at him with an unimpressed expression on my face.
"I know what I’m saying and what I’m doing, Yujun saved my life yesterday" I say and Taeho scoffs like I am a liar, he looks over and scrunches his nose, "you fucking reek of oga again" he says coldly.
"And what is wrong with that?" I ask guardedly. Taeho is my best friend and right hand man but these days, he has been stepping on the invisible lines we had agreed on as children.
"An oga pack mber was killed and...you not only have a rival in your ho but you were also fucking around with an oga?" Taeho says like I didn’t care about the death of a child in our park.
"I guess it’s a Hwang clan thing" Yujun says from the door as he walks over to where we are, while buttoning the sleeve of a new shirt of mine that he has taken from the closet. "Keep Hwangs out of your mouth your disgusting vermin" Taeho growls at Yujun and Yujun growls back at him without missing a beat or flinching.
He looks every bit an Alpha with his stance and the depth of his growl, and I am once again reminded, this is the ’alpha’ that has beaten in many competitions while growing up. Seeing him showcase that side amuses , I lean back and chuckle.
"Is this the ti to laugh?", "what the fuck is funny?" Both Yujun and Taeho snap at and I raise my hands in mock surrender.
"Listen to guard dog" Yujun says in a surprisingly cold voice, "Jaehyun almost got himself killed because he was avenging the death of your pack oga last night" he growls and pokes a finger to Taeho’s chest, making the alpha stumble.
Yujun-ah, he has always been a strong one.
"And while you, his bodyguard, were busy doing whatever shit it was. I was the one that brought him ho and looked after him all night" Yujun says and my heart swells with pride at the fierce protectiveness of the Oga.
Taeho snarls at Yujun and opens his mouth , ready to speak but Yujun turns on his heels and leaves the house, slamming the door behind him loudly.
I smile at the shut door before turning to give Taeho my full attention with all seriousness, "we will talk about this" he says and I sigh playfully, "you never take anything or anyone seriously, that’s why you’re in this ss" Taeho snaps at and I frown.
I eye his outfit for the first ti since his arrival, his clothes are rumpled and ssy, a look that cannot just be from the brief scuffling he had with Yujun. Sothing is extrely wrong.
"What happened?" I ask cautiously, knowing that Taeho would never co to my ho unannounced unless sothing important was happening and I was not aware. Taeho looks at with an unexplainable look on his face.
"Lord Hwang has summoned you" he says curtly and I nod, already knowing that it must be sothing grave.
My father never summons unless...
