Sure, Changkhyun started to act differently after awhile but it didnt give him an excuse to start acting different all of the sudden. It made Williow a bit upset. She eventually got over it. They had become friends after all. But soon she got the most shocking news from him. Plus he had also been gone for about a week!
[center -]
[+deeppink ''There is no way!''] Willow said in a loud whisper. She was walking around pacing for a moment. Willow had no idea what to do. She shook her head. [+deeppink ''I-.. i cant!''] that right there was a lie. Willow was just terrified this was all too much for her right now. Besides he was a huge dick to her before. Could this have been why he changed?
[center -]
Willow didn't say much more. She just pushed past him. She didn't want to talk to him anymore.. Well.. not at the moment. Willow had run out to the student parking lot and just sat on the sidewalk next to all of the cars. She had to get her thoughts in check. 
[center -]
After 10ish minutes Willow got up and ran into the forest. She wanted to hide from Changkhyun in that moment. Though she knew that there was no way in hell that she could stay hidden for very long. Willow started to breath heavily as she had ran for quite awhile to get as far away from the school as she possibly could in that moment. Once she was far enough away she just sat underneath a tree.

Changkhyun looked shocked, well as shocked as he could bring himself to show. Part of him didn't want to believe he had been rejected, but part of him just...

Changkhyun needed to get out of there before he destroyed the school and everyone in it. He [i needed] to get out before his power activated.

Sometimes being a mind reader really helped, as Minhyuk soon appeared nearby, slightly out of breath as he stared wide eyed at Changkhyun.

"Go!" Shouted Minhyuk. "I'll try and get Hyungwon to get to you as fast as possible okay? I'll let the teachers know you got sick and had to leave," he explained.

Changkhyun quickly turned, leaving the building as fast as his human legs could carry him. Once he hit the forest he changed, landing on four feet as he sprinted off.

An agonizing howl filled the air, echoing for miles as Changkhyun tried to keep his power in check. He ran as fast as he could, as far as he could before the darkness exploded, destroying everything in its path.

[center ~]

Minhyuk tried to stay calm, though a million thoughts were going through his head, most of it not being his own as he heard the thoughts of the other students.

The howl was not unheard of, as his pack patrolled the lands often, but Changkhyun had sounded like he was in so much pain. He tried to ignore it as best as possible to keep up appearances but he longed to be out there to try and calm down his friend and fellow packmate.

Willow began to feel bad about rejecting him. She began hearing the howls around her. She knew she had screwed up royally. Willow never expected to be the mate of an alpha. No way.. She bit her lip slightly as she stood up. Maybe she should go find Changkhyun to go apologize.[center -][+deeppink ''Changkhyun?!''] Willow had called out. She was starting to panic once more. [+deeppink [i 'i really really messed the fuck up..' ]] Willow had thought to herself. She hoped that she could talk some sense into Changkhyun. I mean she could do that right? She was his mate after all.. [center -]
Willow yelled his name once more. She knew that might not help but at least it could get his attention. Why did she freak out when Changkhyun told her that she was his mate? It could have been the fact that he was totally different before all of this had come out. 
[center -]
Willow stopped walking around for a bit. Hopefully Changkhyun would find her at some point because she was now lost in the forest. Willow was beating herself up and calling herself all sorts of horrible names. She rejected her own mate!... How rude is that?

"Oi," came a voice next to Willow as Hyungwon stepped out of the trees. "You need to get the hell out of here," he growled. "It's not safe whatsoever, and don't give me the "I'm his mate" crap, you just [i rejected] him," he snarled out.


"I'll take her home," called another voice as Kihyun ran over. "Go find him, and try to calm him down," he added.


Hyungwon sighed, nodding and going to do so.


"God you're a lot of trouble today, after [i everything] Changkhyun explained to you," grumbled Kihyun as he turned to Willow.

"Unlike some people, I believe in second chances," Kihyun sighed out as he studied her. "What went through your damn head when you decided to say no huh?" He asked.


"I want the honest truth," stated Kihyun as more howls were heard, and a bright light covered the sky. He could only observe it, covering his eyes when it got brighter before fading away.


"He must've been found," Kihyun commented in relief, listening as another howl was heard, this time from somewhere behind them.


"Well," started Kihyun. "If you want to get out of here, follow me," he added, turning and walking away, only half expecting her to follow after him. "They're fine, no thanks to you," he grumbled as an afterthought.

Willow winced at the growls and bitterness that was being thrown at her. She put her hands up in defense. [+deeppink ''I-i... was just scared...''] Willow said quietly her voice began to quiver and shake. She looked down for a minute [+deeppink ''I didn't so much as reject him.. i just ran away.. Saying 'No... it cant be..' ''] She said as she bit her lip slightly. Yep... That was most definitely rejecting him. God... she now wished things went differently. 
[center -]
[+deeppink ''And i will not be going home!''] Willow said loudly before she crossed her arms. [+deeppink ''i want you to take me to Changkhyun.. I would like to explain myself to him. I know that he may hate my guts now... But you cant change who your mate is..'']
[center -]
Willow knew she might get into some huge trouble with Changkhyun and his pack... Well more trouble than she is right now.. [+deepink ''Cant i just ahve one chance to explain myself to him? I have that right dont i?''] Willow asked Kihyun. She of course was following him. But no way was she going to go home. 
[center -]
Willow messed with her hair slightly as she walked. She didnt know what to say anymore.

"I [i guess]," grumbled Kihyun. "You better try and explain yourself to him," he added. "Because an insane werewolf is something [i we] don't want," he explained. "Not with his powers," he grumbled.


Minhyuk met them at the border to the forest, conveniently just outside their backyards, being neighbors and all.


"So she decides to come back huh?" Minhyuk asked with a growl. "Leave it," said Kihyun. "Maybe we can get him to listen to what she says," he added.


"The guy just [i flattened] half a forest, you think he'll be able to listen to reason?!" Shouted Minhyuk. "You made it worse by [i bringing] her here," he growled.


"[i Enough]," came a voice as Shownu walked over, his glare fixated on Willow before he turned to Kihyun. "Where are they?" He asked.


"They're on their way back," explained Kihyun as he kept a steady gaze with Shownu. "Good," hummed Shownu. "It's best to leave him be for now," he added. "Let them talk it out yeah?" He asked.


"There was a reason for this, I'm sure," hummed Kihyun. "But I won't stand by and let this go if there isn't a good reason," he growled.


It was like they didn't care she was there, as the priority was making sure that Changkhyun, who was their youngest and still a baby compared to how old the others really were, was fine.


Pack was important to them, as it was a small pack, and they needed to make sure that their youngest was okay.

She shot a glare at them as they were talking as if she wasnt there. [+deeppink ''Fine.. ill find him myself''] Willow said as she started to walk away. She had Changkhyun sent down so she could find him. 
[center -]
She felt as if Changkhyun's pack just hated her now. God, she was stupid as hell. Willow finally felt his scent grow stronger. She made it to Changkhyun's territory. Willow once again headed into the area more and started to call his name. 
[center -]
[+deeppink ''I want to talk!''] she yelled. Willow was shivering a bit. [+deeppink ''Im really sorry!"'] Willow called out. She really was sorry. Showing emotions wasn't really her strong suite. 
[center -]
After what seemed like forever she finally saw a group who was all in her wolf form. She hasn't been able to shift yet due to the fact that she hasn't yet been fully bonded to her mate. [+deeppink ''Changkhyun?!''] she said once again. 
[center -]
Willow was terrified that they all where going to attack her because of what she did to Changkhyun.

The wolves she had found were definitely not a part of the pack, as only one other wolf she hadn't seen yet, Jooheon, had been away for a job when everything went down.


These wolves were hostile, snarling at her as they circled around her. One was about to leap at her when it had been slammed into by Changkhyun's wolf form [his wolf form in his character profile] who had sensed that something was wrong and came running.


Hyungwon, who was not too far behind, came leaping into view as his larger reddish-brown wolf form stood protectively in front of her in case they retaliated.


It was no good, if they all got into a fight and Changkhyun was forced to use his power? Hyungwon had to think fast as another wolf leaped at them, Hyungwon stopping the attack with a headbutt, snarling in warning.


Changkhyun had to keep his power from activating, that he was [i sure] of. He wasn't sure if he could control it enough to not kill Hyungwon and Willow but he didn't want to find out. He howled for backup, hoping that they'd be able to get to him quickly before the wolves attacked, forcing Changkhyun and Hyungwon on the offensive while trying to keep her out of it.

Willow tensed up when they started to circle her. Her eyes widened and filled with fear. That was until she seen Changkhyun slam into the wolf who was going to attack her. At this point she knew that everyone was going to be livid with her.
[center -]
She bit her lip slightly when she saw Hyungwon. She looked down at the ground. Willow stepped backwards once the fight had been somewhat put to a stop. 
[center -]
One of the other wolfs out of the group went to lunge at Willow when everyone else was distracted. Willow let out a yelp as the wolf scratched her arm which drew blood from her arm. 
[center -]
She winced slightly [+deeppink ''danmit!''] Willow yelled as she went to put pressure on it to keep it from bleeding more.
[center -]
The wolf who had attacked Willow stated to flee afterwards. Not wanting to possibly get killed for what he had done.
[center -]
Willows eyes had tears in her eyes as she looked at Changkhyun.

Changkhyun concentrated, and managed to unleash his power to kill the wolves, evaporating them into ashes before he collapsed, exhausted from unleashing his power a second time.


Hyungwon jumped in surprise, quickly going to check on Changkhyun and making sure he was fine. Once he was sure Changkhyun was fine he walked over to her, touching her with his snout, letting his power heal her.


Shownu and Minhyuk appeared nearby with a change of clothes for them, Minhyuk listening to the explanation that Hyungwon was giving him.


"Damn," muttered Minhyuk as he threw some clothes at Hyungwon while Shownu got Changkhyun to stand and head out of view to change and put some clothes on. Hyungwon grabbed the clothes before wandering out of view to change and put some clothes on.


Shownu came back carrying an exhausted Changkhyun on his back, with Hyungwon coming back a few seconds later in human form.


"You coming kid?" Asked Shownu as he turned to Willow before he walked off, heading home. Hyungwon and Minhyuk followed after him.

Willow looked at everyone for a moment. She than thanked Hyungwon for healing her. She watched as Changkhyun was taken out of view for a moment. 
[center -]
Willow looked over at the person who asked if she was coming. [+deeppink ''you guys arent just going to send me off to go home?''] she asked. [+deeppink ''Or... do i have to go home so i wont cause more issue's?..'']
[center -]
Willow was panicked... All she wanted to do was talk to Changkhyun. That didnt happen at all.. All she did was stir up the shit pot..
[center -]
She was following Hyungwon and Minhyuk. Willow was silent as she walked with them. Willow hoped that Changkhyun would be okay. 
[center -]
[+deeppink ''I-im sorry you guys... I shouldnt have run off like i did..''] She said quietly. [+deeppink ''All i wanted to do was talk to Changkhyun...''] Willow started. [+Deeppink ''But you guys were just going to take me home.. And...''] she started to cry. [+deeppink ''I just... wanted to explain myself.'']

"It's best you head home now," responded Minhyuk. "If you couldn't [i see], Changkhyun doesn't have the energy to speak right now, let alone do anything else," he added.


"We're not stopping you from coming around, but let him rest some yeah?" Asked Hyungwon.


"I see why you did it," hummed Minhyuk. "I'd be scared too, if I was told about something big like this," he added. "Just be careful with him, Changkhyun's our baby, everyone is a [i lot] older than we appear," he hummed.


[center ~]


When they reached the house Kihyun was in the backyard, pacing back and forth before he spotted Shownu walk into view with Changkhyun on his back.


"Is he okay?" Asked Kihyun, looking concerned as he went over to check on Changkhyun. "He's just exhausted," explained Shownu.


"Mm fine," grumbled Changkhyun as he lifted his head to look at Kihyun. "Tired," he muttered. "Let's get him to sleep," said Kihyun as he walked over to open the back door, letting Shownu walk into the house.


[center ~]


"Go home, come back another day," said Minhyuk as he turned to Willow once they came into view of their houses. "He'll be fine," he added.

Willow just nodded [+deeppink “got it…”] she just muttered. Willow looked down and slowly started to walk away. She bit her lip slightly [+deeppink “ill be sure to be careful with him.. I promise..”] Willow tells them before Changkhyun comes into view. 
[center -]
[+deeppink “Can you tell him to call me when he feels better?”] she asked them. After she asked that she started to head off. Her brother is going to be pissed with her.  She knew that he was called by the school saying that she was gone for most of the morning classes. 
[center -]
Willow soon made it home. Her brother was extremely peved. Willow could tell by the look on his face. [+deeppink “hey big brother…”] Willow said quietly. Apollo (her brother) growled and grabbed her wrist roughly [+maroon “Why do you smell of an enemy pack?”] he yelled at her. Willow just winced [+deeppink “I-…”] she looked up at him. [+deeppink “they were rabid… A-and my mate… came and saved me..”] Willow muttered as she tried to pull her hand away from her brother.

A few days later Changkhyun was ready to speak with her. He didn't call her but left a simple text to meet at his house after school.


He hadn't been able to even attend school due to exhaustion and his mind not being in the right place so he didn't want to risk dealing with the consequences of that.


Part of him [i did] wonder if it was all a huge joke, that she was seriously going to reject him now. But another part of him wanted her to explain why she had freaked out in the first place.


He could feel it creeping into the back of his mind, but Changkhyun chose to ignore it for now. He needed to focus, and prepare for anything and everything.


As Changkhyun waited for her arrival, whenever that was, he sat on the back deck with his feet propped up, humming to himself as he read a book.


Shownu was home for a while, though Minhyuk was due home from school fairly soon if he remembered what time it was.


Time flowed weirdly in this state of semi insanity, Changkhyun realized. But he was sure something would happen soon. What? Even Shownu didn't know.

She was in class when she got the text from him. Her heart sank slightly. Willow wondered if he was upset at her... Well he obviously was but that's not something she should worry about right now.
[center -]
Willow was pretty much quiet the whole rest of the day. She didnt want to talk to anyone about anything. The only person she was going to speak to was Changkhyun. 
[center -]
Once the school day had finally came to an end she started to go to Changkhyun's house so she could talk to him. 
[center -]
It took her about 20 minutes to get to his house. She took a deep breath and knocked. Once the door had been opened she had been pointed to where Changkhyun was at. 
[center -]
[+deeppink ''Hello?...''] Willow said quietly as she looked up at him. She bit her lip slightly unsure of where she should start. [+deeppink ''Im sorry... About everything... It just scared me.. I...''] She wouldnt look at Changkhyun as she talked. [+deeppink ''I didnt know that finding my mate would come so soon...''] Willow told him. [+deeppink ''I-i understand if you dont want to see me anymore.''] She was still looking at the ground.

Changkhyun looked up when he heard footsteps, spotting Willow standing in front of him.


He listened to what she said, thinking it over for a minute before shrugging. "It's okay," he said softly, his voice quiet as he took in what she said. "It's okay," he repeated, louder for her to hear him.


"It was hell, I don't want it to happen again," he muttered. "So please, give me a chance?" He asked.


"You saw what my power could do," he added. "If I end up in the wrong hands it could end badly for everyone," he hummed.


"She's back again huh?" Came a voice as Minhyuk stepped outside, dropping a pile of homework on the bench next to Changkhyun. "You're welcome by the way," he added, scowling at the pile of homework.


"I'll get it done," responded Changkhyun as he put down the book he had been reading and picking up one of the papers and skimming through it.


"God now I remember why I [i hated] going to school," Minhyuk almost whined, scowling as he sat beside Changkhyun to go through what he had to do. "At least you know most of this already," hummed Changkhyun. "Yeah, but homework can be [i annoying]," grumbled Minhyuk.

[+deeppink ''Im the one that needs the second chance... Not you...''] Willow said quietly. She rubbed her arm slightly as she finally looked at him. [+deeppink ''Ill be by your side.. I promise.. Im not leaving you like that again..'']
[center -]
Willow jumped slightly as she turned to see Minhyuk. [+deeppink ''He wanted to talk finally... So i came..'']
[center -]
She watched the two for a moment before sitting on the ground next to the bed. Willow was quiet as they talked about the homework. [+deeppink ''I can help you if you would like..''] She said as she looked up at Changkhyun. 
[center -]
It was the least she could do because he missed a ton of class because of her mistake. Willow took a deep breath. As she was thinking she found herself staring at Changkhyun. She didnt even realize that she was doing that. 
[center -]
Willow started to shiver which took her out of her mini trance. [+deeppink [i 'shoot!'] ] she thought to herself hoping that Changkhyun didnt notice that she was staring.

"I think we got it," replied Minhyuk, still feeling a bit pissed off at her for what she had done a few days before. HIs thoughts were in a turmoil, though he tried to keep from projecting said thoughts. It was the one flaw that Minhyuk hated about his power. Projecting his own thoughts worked wonders when communicating in wolf form at least.

Changkhyun shook his head. "It's fine, Kihyun should be back from whereever he goes to when we're not at the pack house," he said.


Minhyuk nodded in agreement. "We can do this ourselves," he muttered.


As if on cue the back door opened, revealing Kihyun and Hyungwon who had just returned from a shopping trip.


"Welcome back you two," greeted Minhyuk as he and Changkhyun worked on some of the papers for school.


"I see you got your work for the weekend," remarked Kihyun. "It's nothing I can't do," hummed Changkhyun. "Some papers here and there, math and science here, it's nothing hard," he added.


"The book I'm reading has to do with English class anyway," he grumbled as he looked thoughtful.

Willow looked down when Minhyuk snapped at her. [+deeppink ''O-okay...''] she said softly. She knew that people where still pissed off with her. [+deeppink ''W-well than ill just sit here i guess..''] Willow said in soft tone that was hardly audible.
[center -]
She could never become an alphas mate... How did this happen? There could have been a better person than her.. Willows thoughts were non-stop running.
[center -]
She soon stood up and looked at Changkhyun [+deeppink ''D-do you just want me to go back home? I-i sort of feel like im not wanted any more..'' ] she muttered. If they didnt want her there they could just say and she would leave.. It was simple.
[center -]
She looked away from Changkhyun after a moment. Willow shivered slightly [+deeppink ''C-can i borrow a hoodie or something?...''] She asked. 
[center -]
Willow was scared that she would be yelled at by Minhyuk again. She knew that he really hated her after that whole incident.

"It's fine, you can stay," sighed Changkhyun as he got up. "I'll be right back, don't murder each other now," he added, jokingly of course. He soon headed into the house to grab a hoodie before coming back and tossing it at her before going back to sitting down.


Minhyuk pointed to something that they were working on, silently communicating as Changkhyun went to see what he could do about the problem they were stuck on.


"Why does this crap have to be hard," grumbled Minhyuk as he worked on his own things while Changkhyun concentrated on his work. "You were the one who wanted to do calculus," Changkhyun retorted as he shook his head in amusement. "Oi," grumbled Minhyuk.


"No arguing now, at least you have it easy," Kihyun stated as he shook his head. "We're not arguing to be honest," responded Minhyuk. "You'd know arguing," he added.


"Right, I forget how you mind readers work," Kihyun said with a scoff, earning a smirk from Minhyuk.


"It keeps us from yelling at each other when I can just argue with you in my head anyway," replied Minhyuk as he stuck out his tongue in a childish manner.

[+deeppink ''O-okay..''] she said quietly as she watched her mate walk away for a few minutes. Willow looked at him when he brought a hoodie back to [+deeppink ''Thank you..''] She said quietly.
[center -]
Willow sat on the ground in front of where Changkhyun and Minhyuk had been sitting. She just watched how well they all got along. Willow wished her pack/family could get along like this. 
[center -]
[+deeppink ''O-oh... Changkhyun... i have a question..''] Willow said. [+deeppink ''W-well when you can talk that is.. I-.. i dont want to bug you and distract from your work.''] She said quietly as she stayed in the spot she was sitting. 
[center -]
Willow rubbed her eyes slightly as looked around a bit. She was just going to stay put so she didnt cause anymore issues. And if she were being honest with herself she really did find herself actually starting to fall for Changkhyun. Willow shook her head. [I [+deeppink] 'Shoot! Willow.. shut up!'] she said to herself. She bit her lip slightly. She was hoping that the others couldnt hear her thoughts.

Minhyuk blinked, giving her a knowing smirk. He didn't say anything however, but he coughed into his fist, earning a raised eyebrow from Changkhyun. "Ah, nothing," hummed Minhyuk.


"Ask away," said Changkhyun as he looked over his paper, humming to himself as he worked on more work.


"I don't see how you can keep up the calm atmosphere with homework," grumbled Minhyuk. "I've been living as a human most of my life," grumbled Changkhyun. "Doing human things," he added. "This is normal for me," he said with a sigh.


"Don't mind the old man," remarked Kihyun. "I'm pretty sure he's older than I am," he added. "Oi," growled Minhyuk. "I'm not [i old], that title belongs to Shownu," he said with a scowl. "And Hyungwon," he added, earning a sigh form Hyungwon.


"Don't drag me into this kid," grumbled Hyungwon. "Oh I'll drag you into this," grumbled Minhyuk.


A tense silence passed between them both before Minhyuk snorted, chuckling at the situation. Hyungwon shook his head in amusement, earning sighs from Kihyun and Changkhyun. "God you two can't argue at all," grumbled Changkhyun.

She quickly looked away when Minhyuk looked at her [+deeppink [i 'Shit! he heard me!']] Willow said to herself/ She quickly shook her head again than looked over at Changkhyun when he told her to ask the questions. [+deeppink ''First question.. How long do i have until i get my powers? Since females normally dont get them until sometime after she has met her mate..''] She started [+deeppink ''Second one... Ill still live with my pack until i graduate correct?..''] Willows mind was going like a million miles per hour. She was panicked and unsure of what was next for her. 
[center -]
[+deeppink ''I-im sorry for all the questions...''] she said before they had started arguing with a few of the others around. Willow just stayed silent and looked down. She didnt want to deal with this. At least not right now.. All of this was just way to much for her. Things left and right just coming out of nowhere. 
[Center -]
Willow let out a slight huff as she looked around at everyone. Here they all seemed to have a place.. But where did she belong? Was it really here with Changkhyun? Was he really her mate?..

"I don't know how long it's going to be before your powers manifest," hummed Changkhyun. "It could also mean that you don't get powers," he added. "I've known several pure bloods that don't have powers," he explained. "And they were mated," he added as an after thought.


"You can stay with them if you want," Changkhyun said to answer her next question. "I'm not forcing you to leave your family," he added. "I'm not leaving my pack, not after everything we've gone through," he explained.


"Ah, also Jooheon should be returning soon, speaking of," spoke up Kihyun as he got a text. "Nice," hummed Changkhyun.

[+deeppink ''I mean i still have sometime before they could manifest as well... But im not getting my hopes up...''] She says quietly. [+deeppink ''Im not saying you need to leave your pack..''] Willow tells him. [+deeppink ''I-i mean.. i dont know if id like to go back... Honestly...''] Her parents had died when she was young so it was only her and her brother..
[center -]
She had looked down after a moment. Her brother and always had a temper with her.. But he had always taken it out on  her. Willow had always covered the marks left on her. It was because she knew people would get after her brother and she didnt want that.
[center -]
She shook her head getting her mind out of her thoughts. [+deeppink ''Sorry for spacing out... I-i.. was in my own thoughts..''] Willow looked down slightly. She felt bad for doing that. The other thing she forgot about that a few of them could hear her thoughts 
[center -]
[i [+deeppink ''Dang it Willow! not again!''] ] she said to herself.
