A meeting with the devil and I'm its mate?
Okay so these are Taehyung's two forms^ His cute dog Soonmin is how Tae looks like a wolf (not really scary or big)
🌙
Baek walks me to an old cottage at the very end of a row of houses. I think it was once a cute pink house but the paint seems to have fallen off throughout the years. Dirty stains are splattered across the windows and walls, making me wonder how they got there. A small staircase leads to the front door and I need to jump from step to step because they are really high. Once the door is locked behind us I pounce on the boy.
I need answers and I need them now. I don't like to be confused. I growl lowly but he just blinks unfazed. I know my white fluffy fur doesn't look dangerous but he can at least act scared for my sake.
"You really wanna do this?", he asks monotonously," You know I'm the only one who can help you here. I'm just like you. We are the same". I stop my growling and turn my head sideways in confusion.
"We can talk once you change back. You do know how to change right?", he frees himself from underneath me. I step off him and back away a bit.
I want to roll my eyes at him. Of course I know how to shift back. I've been doing it continuously throughout the years. I nervously glance around the room, my eyes stopping at a robe hanging on a hook. He follows my gaze. "I'll turn back around once you put on the robe", he says and turns around so his back is facing me.
I hesitate, stepping slowly to the piece of clothing. I could run away right now but something's stopping me. He said we're the same. I've always wondered if there were people like me. Wouldn't it be stupid to just leave that all behind if I escape now? And where would I run to? My owners were killed and I don't have a human identity.
My curiosity gets the best of me so I decide to shift into my human form. My bones crack and my fur disappears to make place for smooth skin. I sigh in relief, it feels good to stand straight. I haven't been human for almost a day.
The silk robe slides softly over my features and once I close it around my body, I cough to catch Baek's attention. He turns around quickly, probably wondering how I look as a human. He seems taken aback because a loud gasp escapes past his lips and he steps backwards.
"Something's wrong?" My voice is rough and croaky from not speaking much. I never really talked to the family. I only used my voice for singing at night.
The boy shakes his head but he still looks shaken up. "I-it's okay. You just remind me of someone"
"Oh, that sounds normal I guess", I frown slightly.
Baek straightens himself and walks my away until he's right in front of me. He ruffles my hair in a way it almost makes me feel nostalgic. My frown deepens and I slap his hand away from me. "Now tell me everything", I cross my arms. Why did his eyes turn so sad? Did I do something wrong? I don't even know him why would I let him touch me like that? Ugh, this is just frustrating me even more.
"It's weird to see another male omega. I'd always thought I was the only one", he murmurs in thought.
"How come? And what's an omega?", I ask.
"You don't know what an omega is?"
I shake my head slowly. "Is it something bad?"
He sighs deeply, "We'll have a lot to talk about. Let's get you into some real clothes first and then talk before you meet the head alpha, alright?"
I nod in agreement, still not fully trusting the boy in front of me but something seems familiar. The way his eyes stare at me with fondness, the way he behaves around me. It's almost brother like. Before I can dwell any longer, I tend to do that a lot, he pulls me into another room. A rusty bed is the only thing in the room besides a small closet.
"I think something loose would look really cute on you, don't you think?"
"I don't know. I've never really worn clothes", I awkwardly stare at the pieces of clothing hanging in the closet.
I notice him tense but no reaction comes. He just pulls more clothing out of the wardrobe and throws them at me. "Put these on and meet me back in the other room", he smiles weakly. As soon as he closes the door behind him I sink down on the cold bed. A sigh escapes my lips. He's disgusted by me isn't he? I saw it in his eyes. It wouldn't be the first time I repel people.
I stare at the things in my lap, slowly picking up the light pink sweater. I drop the robe onto the ground and slip into the clothes. For some reason the black jeans are ripped at the knees. I guess Baek ripped them once on accident and can't afford to repair them.
What's this? I gaze at the small piece of clothing in my hands. It has three holes in it and I have no idea where it's supposed to go. The print is made out of little hearts and I put my head through it. Is it a scarf?
So I took me a while, okay a whole lot of time, to figure out it's supposed to go under the jeans. I have no idea what the purpose of this is but I suppose everything here is different from the former place I lived in.
When I walk out, Baek jumps in front of me, "Oh god I thought you'd died or ran away! Why did you take so long?"
I gulp in embarrassment, "No reason"
"No I need to kn-", Baek starts in disagreement.
"I don't want to talk about it okay?", I snap slightly awkward. Gosh, can't he just take a hint.
He eyes me warily but shrugs. I still haven't run away, he should be relieved.
"Okay so we'll go over the basics real quick", he sits down on the ground because there's no other furniture in the room except for a radio, "You spent a lot of time in that room so we need to be a little faster, Luhan doesn't like to wait".
I sit cross legged on the floor across of him and nod.
"Okay so there are three types of werewolves, alpha, beta and omega. Alpha's are the highest in ranking and they pretty much run the place. Alphas are stronger than their lesser betas, more members of the pack means all current members become stronger. Wounds inflicted by an alpha take longer to heal. They have better senses, healing and strength. Don't piss one off or you're pretty much dead", he looks at me warningly, "That means be nice to Kai and Xiumin".
I huff in annoyance. They killed my owners and I can't even do anything about it!?
"The next in ranking are the betas. They are the servants of the alphas but are still more respected and stronger than us omegas. They are pretty cool, but there are some wannabe betas in this pack. They'd gladly kill an alpha to gain their powers".
"Last are the omegas, which is what we are. They are the weakest, most submissive type there is. We are often admired for our beauty but we're also hated because of that same reason. Alphas love us and take advantage of us because of our submissiveness and their dominance. Betas can try to control you too. The life of an omega isn't an easy one, except if you find your mate. Then you're free from the harassment of other wolves", he explains, "I found my mate when I was brought in this pack. His name is Chanyeol".
"Wait what? Mates? And what's that about us being the only male omegas?", I still have many questions that need to be answered.
"Every born werewolf has a mate, like as in soul mate. We're bonded and your mate's scent is the most intoxicating smell ever. You can't live without that one person".
Wait, does that mean I have one? That'd be ridiculous. I've never loved someone before.
"Sounds frustrating. What if you don't like that person?", I ask curiously.
"You do. That's the thing about mates. You'll fall in love, if you like it or not", Baek shrugs, "And in my case I like it a lot and I love him a lot".
I guess that's cute. He beams so happily that it makes my heart ache. Can I ever be so happy? I feel my hopes getting up and push them back down into the darkness. My mate could never love me, even if my scent is intoxicating. I'm a disgraceful werewolf.
"Woops, it looks like the time is almost up! Any more questions?", he glances at his old watch.
"Yeah, you never answered my second question. Why are male omegas so rare? And are we really the only ones?" I don't want to be rare. I've been weird all my life, looked down upon, and now I'm in a place where everyone is like me and I'm suddenly special again. What's wrong about normal? Why can't I be normal for once?
"Well, I've never met any male omega except for me and I heard the others say I also was the first male omega they ever saw. Omegas are bound to be pretty and beautiful like a spring day. Men are handsome, not pretty and cute, and anything except submissive. So omegas are always women, that's the rule, but I guess we broke it"
I nod in understanding, "But does that make us so different?"
"Not really, except the change of eye color, we're pretty the same as the women", he smiles and stand up, "Let's go now. Luhan is waiting".
I quickly trail behind him as he leads me out the door to another house, the biggest of them all. "Eye color changing? What do you mean with that?"
He picks up the pace and I'm panting behind him. "It's nothing special. But when we feel a very strong emotion like anger, sadness, lust and so on, our normal eye color changes. It's pretty cool I guess but it doesn't happen often". He suddenly comes to a halt in front of a big heavy door. "Luhan's in here. Good luck!", he pushes me slightly in the door's direction and runs off, waving enthusiastically.
What an idiot, but he was nice. The first ever person the be kind to me and is aware of my real self.
I knock softly on the door until it swings open, making me fall back. Before I can trip down the stairs two strong arms haul me back up. A handsome man I've never seen before stares at me and brings himself closer. "Finally we meet. Hello mate".
