【 ☓☓ ☾ Sam probably had a death wish, not that she considered herself someone that would follow danger as she was some kind of stalker, but she just gave zero fucks about anything and anyone, even herself fell into the category of zero self care. It all had to do with her resentment for almost everything, so a growling werewolf did made goosebumps appear on her arm, but her brain go like ‘Well you had your fun, time to go now. No one will miss ya!’ 

The way he was hiding the smaller puppy within his coat, told her enough that whoever he was protecting was important to him and clearly not just a puppy. A sigh left her lips as in defeat, not really want to provoke him further. “Isn’t this part of Keisung? Then I have business here.” Sam retorted with a simple shrug, “I apologize for that, even if I don’t mean it. So what do you got there, your kid or something? Pet perhaps?” 

if his daughter wasn’t here, he might very well consider just getting up and making her think twice about walking into his space. but she could consider herself lucky right about now, because with the little one here, he wouldn’t be shifting unless threatened. sure, mirae was used to his shifted form, probably liked it more sometimes that his human form, but she didn’t need to be a witness to violence at such a young age. he didn’t want her to witness it ever at all, if he could have that.

but he’s surprised when she backs off, even if it doesn’t really do anything to lessen his defensiveness. “as much as it is, it’s majorly dominated by wolves. that’s all you’ll run into out here.” and the way territory was split between them was horrible really. but there was a truce within the packs here, at least. scout’s territory was just located further into the forest than this for hunting purposes. he doesn’t believe the apology really though, even if he lets it slide. being referred to as dogs had become a common insult. “daughter.” he mutters after a few moments or so though as the small pups head peeks out a little when she can sense his tension lessening. it lets her know it’s safe.

✎ ー ｢ at the sound of the growl, haruki focused in on the person before him before sighing. he didn’t have any qualms with wolves, but he did tend to like avoiding getting into their space and especially avoid getting on their nerves. why was evidenced by the reaction he received from the alpha.

“not particularly. i’m more meant to teach students to use their heads.” haruki commented, before continuing, “i am apologetic, though. i don’t make it a habit. if you took my class you might know. what are you currently studying?”

“like anyone even has a head to use it around here,“ he muttered out roughly, eye rolling because what use was that to anyone? most of the students here wouldn’t listen to anyone but themselves after all, and hearing a teacher say this now almost made him want to laugh at the bullshit. “whatever-- and what’s it matter to you? i’ve never had you as a professor and i don’t really care to have you either.“

【 ☓☓ ☾ SAM WANTED TO GET AWAY FROM THE NOISE, too many people and just too many sensations. She was just one of the many that just couldn’t handle all of the emotions that went through her body. She was lucky with the school and the resources it provided for her kind, she was grateful for that, but that didn’t mean they were even close with her controlling the mouth watering feeling she get every time a classmate would walk by. It was a miracle that none of them were actually human, it did help with the difference in smells and other biological stuff that happened within person that was supernatural. Didn’t mean that she didn’t need a break, because she did. 

The little red riding hood scenario wasn’t something that she expected. There was a guy there holding some kind of dog that was probably not actual dog, but she couldn’t be sure. He didn’t seem happy either and the way he was smelling told her whoever she was dealing with, and what she did know about dogs is that they could be very friendly, but also very vicious. “Sorry that I’m not a vampire and can teleport like an idiot.” She replied when she actually came into view, eyeing the scared dog and the guy on the log. “Didn’t know we owned a dog park, but I guess the forest is where you lot all hang out or something…”

scout knew that people ended up out here for arious reasons. he’d definitely ran into the fair few. but most that came out here were werewolves. the forest was pretty much their territory in a way, because it was the easiest place for them to hunt and packs to gather. after all, they needed their privacy and space. vampires went off into the nearby towns in they had to, ghouls too-- everyone had their place to go. so whenever anyone stumbled through the forest that he could smell was not of the werewolf kind.. it just agitated him. he never wanted to deal with anyone else.

so when she comes into view, scenting her tells him that she’s a ghoul. honestly, ghouls were the least threatening in his opinion. they couldn’t do shit but eat another person, and they were pretty easy for a wolf to fight off anyway. but he growls at her words, a vicious snarl ripping from him and sending mirae further into his jacket now to hide. “you have no business here flesh eater, and call me a dog again and i’ll show you how easy it is for an alpha to rip your head off.”

Milo wasn’t a fan of large crowds. He didn’t like being surrounded by people all the time. So it was nice to get away for a little bit- just to walk around by himself to be alone with his thoughts. And the best place to do that was to roam the forrest. He loved it. The fresh air, the quiet, the peace. It was ideal for him. It was one of the few places he didn’t expect to be around anyone- but he’d been wrong before. He’d heard talking and there was a twinge of curiosity in him to figure out who was out there right now. He approached the clearing in his familiar form- a black cat. The other seemed alarmed when there was no need to be so he figured this was less threatening. He got close enough to reveal himself but didn’t shift back into his human form just yet. Not until he figured out why they were out there. 

It was the time of the month again where he gotta go out and find food. Sometimes he doesn’t mind feeding from blood packs since he’s not a picky eater in the first place. Some vampires said that eating from blood packs feels like eating a cold chicken fillet, but he had grown accustomed to it in one way or another–which is just an excuse for his lazy ass. Immortality seemed like a dream to most but not for him, living too long bored him and he sometimes regretted ever trading his humanity for revenge. Well, nothing he could do now except live through it. Today, he was feeling fancy, sucking blood off unsuspecting victim silently outside the academy before going back through the forest, he likes to take a little detour after his meal. 

Sometimes a walk like this was the only time he feel relaxed, letting his guard down (not quite) as he stretched his arms above and just enjoy the walk. He basically let where his feet took him at this point though at the sudden sound made the 765 years old vampire let out a shriek in surprise. Then the strong smell of wolves hit his nose, familiar yet foreign but he recognize that voice and face before, world history, isn’t it? He let out an exaggerated sigh of relief when he realized it’s not a threat. “ You almost gave me a heart attack what gives. ” Maybe he’s getting old, is it even possible? he doesn’t know. But he slowly stroke his chest as if to calm himself down. 

being disturbed wasn’t on his list of things that was supposed to happen today. usually being in the forest like he was right now was enough to given him the privacy he needed away from the entire population of keisung, because he needed that privacy to safely play with his daughter in peace. but of course, there always has to be someone that shows up, and it’s why scout’s expression is dark and there’s still a low growl emitting from his throat even when the other walks into the clearing and shows themselves. mirae stays hidden in his arms though, trying to stay safe by her father. 

“the hell are you doing out here?“ he does growl out. well, even if they knew each other, scout’s never been the most friendly half the time. plus, vampires could be hell to get on with half the time, and he wasn’t too in the mood to deal with that at this point. he did cast an glance down at his daughter then though, smoothing a hand over her back in hops of calming the pup down. “and you don’t even have a heart, stop being a dramatic ass.“ he did throw back when he cast his glance back over at hanseo.

Even if Soohan and Scout hadn’t started on the right foot, actually on exactly the wrong foot with lots of shouting and fighting, he had instantly been smitten for Mirae. The baby was quite easily his favourite thing in the world and he spoiled her as much as possible. Which is probably why she always wriggled around in his arms so much if he even so much as looked at Scout instead of her. Not that he ever stopped doing just that. A blush working over his cheeks right now at finally hearing his nickname again after what was far too long in his opinion. 

“But if I do that she’ll feel bad and that’s not fair.” He grumbled sitting down to his mate even if his attention was pulled to the puppy again. “Sure she has tiny devil razor teeth that are definitely going to tear skin but is it so bad when she’s so small and cute?”

the past was in the past now, in scout’s eyes. they may have had a rocky road to lead them to where they were, but the point was that things were good now, and he was lucky enough to have imprinted on someone that actually didn’t mind kids. loved them, even. that was one of the nicest things about soohan, in his mind. seeing how he interacted with mirae always made him softer. he’s about to say something about the blush though when he pulls away, but mirae interrupts him with some more yipping, gentle growling too as she goes for his finger again. 

“nah.. a few minutes later and she’s back to nipping. she’s been bunny hopping a lot lately too.. she keeps trying to catch the leaves like that..” he chuckled, wrapping an arm around soohan’s waist when he moved to sit next to him. “i mean.. if she keeps it up then yes, it’s going to turn bad.“ but it wouldn’t be hard to stop her from doing it as she grew. “she’ll probably shift back soon. she’s been shifting back and forth all morning so she’s probably tired-- and this is why i bring extra clothes for her.“ the amount of spare outfits both he and his ex had on hand at this point was almost hilarious. but this is why raising a pup outside of a whole pack was a little more difficult. 

Maybe if Minho was in a worse mood and it was a different student he would get mad at Scout just standing there and letting the papers fly by just as he had. But he wasn’t in a bad mood and it was Scout who he genuinely had no ill feelings towards. With only a small roll of his eyes, he takes the paper off of the other, giving it a quick look through before throwing it into what seemed to be a never-ending pile of marking. “If you get an F you’ll deal with it.” He grumbled before actually turning to the other properly. “Successful trip?”

scout just wasn’t helpful, not when it wasn’t something concerned him. those papers flying away weren’t his, so why the hell should he give a damn what happens to them? they were the vampires problem, not scout’s. sure, he could do it to be a good friend, but where was the need? “if i get an f, you’re just being an asshole.” scout wasn’t the best with papers, but he was good enough to at least get a c or b, anyway. his only problem moment right now was the fact he’d had to do it on his travels,and some of it might a little disconnected given how spaced out his writing sessions had been. “mostly, yea.” he nodded, thinking back on things for a moment. “trying to find werewolf surrogates though will never be the easiest. they’re all way up north.” which meant when time did come he and soohan were going to have a child, they’d need to plan ahead honestly.

scout had been gone for a few weeks already and, he’d never say it out loud, but he missed his older brother. after being separated from him for so long he was having a hard time being without him again. when scout first told him he was leaving he had tried to go with him, but realized he couldn’t really miss that much of school or leave his entire team and his niece behind with scout gone. so, he’d sucked it up and gone on with his life without his elder brother by his side once  again, even though it felt all to reminiscent of the aftermath of fifty years ago.

the, normally cheerful, wolf was moping on the benches near the baseball field when he smelled something all too familiar. in an instant he was on his feet and launched at a full run into the woods. he skidded to a stop just at the edge of the clearing where he could see his brother sitting with mirae. he laughed when his brother spoke and removed himself from behind the tree he had stationed himself behind. “it is you!” he yelled with a smile, jogging over to them both. “you didn’t tell me you were back, i was waiting for you,” he pouts, but doesn’t hold it for too long to smile at the little girl. he kneels in front of them, pulling her puppy form to his chest and kissing her right on the nose. “you have mirae with you though, so i’ll forgive you for now.”

okay.. so maybe he definitely should have actually gone and seen his brother when he’d gotten back. that would’ve been a great idea, given that scout knew full well how the other felt after everything that had happened. even he sometimes felt like he couldn’t do anything without bin by his side, but that being more in a older brothers protectiveness sense, he supposed. after years of not being able to see him, or knowing if he hated him or not? well, there was still a whole lot to be made up for.

so seeing hyunbin running in now, he had to laugh himself because well, he didn’t even have the time to scent the other out and realise it was him. he can only shake his head a little, smiling softly. “it is,” he nods, waiting for him to come over. “sorry, been a busy few days honestly. i was trying to sort stuff out then i was gonna surprise you outside one of your classes later today.” at least now though he could figure out a day to set aside just for them to catch up with some brotherly bonding. but scout lets bin take mirae from him, reaching out to ruffle his hair then too. it was funny, to think of bin as an uncle to his daughter. but then it was just strange to think of himself as a father, even if he loved mirae with his entire heart. “ey, you’d forgive me anyway. how’ve you been though, binnie?”

✎ ー ｢ removing his glasses, haruki rubbed the bridge of his nose in exhaustion. he knows he has read this before, though it has had to have been years since. but, haruki knows for a fact that it isn’t simply a creative work from one of his students that is blending with a popular story.

no, he has read this exact short story before. haruki sighs, putting back on the glasses and standing from his desk and leaving his office to head toward the library to find the book he knows has the short story in it.

only, once he makes it into the hallway, he runs into a body—“apologies. i was in a rush, not thinking as they say.” he says, looking up to see the other.

scout’s making his way out from his class, heading back to the dorms really, when he feels a body running into him. the alpha’s instincts are just to growl, irritation practically dripping off the tall male because well, at this point everyone knew scout was easily angered anyway. people not looking where they were going.. well that was just fucking stupid.

“aren’t you supposed to be a good fuckin’ role model to the kids around here?“ when he said kids, he meant more like the half of them that weren’t more than a hundred years old anyway. “just watch it.“

It only takes a handful of seconds for Soohan bend down and pick up Mirae, happily talking to the puppy for a few moments having missed her just as much as he’d missed Scout. “You can focus on me and her at the same time, can’t you? Or are you just that bad at multitasking?” Ignoring the yipping ball of fluff in his arms for only a few seconds he steps into Scout’s space placing a chaste kiss on his lips and pulling away with a far too proud smile. “Hi.”

Though the smugness doesn’t get to last too long once what seem to be razors are digging into his fingers “Oh fu- it’s only been a month, how her teeth get that bad so quick.” He grumbles pulling his fingers from the puppies mouth and pouting at her for good measure.

he hums, letting soohan pick her up and it seems to satisfy her a little, despite her insitant yipping and gentle wiggling. ever since the first time she’d met soohan, even if it was in.. difficult times. but ever since then mirae had become somewhat attached to the other male. it was like she knew from the beginning soohan would be another dad to her.. and it was nice. “nah, never learned how to do that,” he chuckles, letting soohan tease him a little. at the kiss though, he just smirks a little before pulling him back in for another soft one. “hi to you to, baby.”

but he’s laughing then when he realises that she’s gotten him, and considering he’d been dealing with this all morning, it was just funny to see someone else have to deal with it. “god knows, but they are definitely a lot worse. it shouldn’t be too hard to get her to stop though.. could just dramatically act like she’s severely hurt you, it’s been working for me.” 

Soohan wouldn’t say he had many skills as a wolf. He actually had painfully few but what he did have was a scarily good sense of smell which let him detect anyone from several miles away. Especially Scout. And it was that which had led him into the forest. He wouldn’t say he was clingy exactly but Scout had been gone for too long for Soohan to want to be away from him when he didn’t need to be. It’s only a few steps in that he catches Mirae’s scent in with it and suddenly he feels so much lighter.

If it wasn’t for the knowledge that a puppy was present a far more cutting comment would be coming from the younger as he steps into the clearing, eyebrow already raised at his mate. “Your nose is really awful if you can’t even recognise me from this close.” Within seconds though his attention is off the man in front of him and focused on puppy curled up with him. “Hello, cutie!”

okay.. so maybe scout should’ve actually paid more attention to the scent approaching than just launching into a conclusion. that would be the wise choice here, especially given it had turned out to be his mate that was lurking, and now some random passerby or asshole coming up to bother him. but well.. scout had never been one to focus on the details of things, and he was just happy to see soohan up here instead or someone else. unless it was his brother, he wouldn’t have minded too much then either. 

“shut up, i was more focused on her,“ he shakes his head, but there is a small smile on his face as he says it, and it gets a little bigger and soohan comes over to see mirae-- and said pup is now yipping happily, scooting out his arms and jumping at soohan for attention. “watch her teeth, i swear they’ve gotten sharper.“ he’d gotten a few nasty bites from her earlier anyway, but it wasn’t anything he wasn’t used to at least.

Minho was always vaguely aware that he made for quite a funny sight in the library but he didn’t too much care after being at the academy for so long. With his office situated right next to it, mostly because of his constant need for resources, he’d simply commandeered a corner and made it his own. Which was quite obvious from his usual collection of mess and trinkets littering the area. Most notable was the scarily cliché coffin there that Minho had placed himself in roughly two hours ago. His legs swung over the side as he sits in the middle with piles of paper on either side of him. It seemed the world didn’t want to leave him to peaceful marking though as a window opened with a large gust of wind trying to take his papers with it. Most of them luckily caught in his hands as he watched the rest disappear outside with a disinterested grunt. “Well, those people are getting F’s. Poor souls.”

scout didn’t go to the library often. he had no use for it most of the time because he just got others to get him his resources or he shared and worked in his dorm with his pack mates in his class. it was easier that way, and he just wasn’t fond of having to stay in an old and stuff, cramped space to study. it gave him more time with his thoughts than he needed, which meant more time to accidentally hear his pack’s inner conversations. but today is different, mostly because he has a paper to hand in that he’d done whilst on his travels. sure, he was a little late, but was there really such a thing as late in an academy that allowed you to study for centuries? either way, it’s why he walks over to minho now just as the papers go flying by. he doesn’t stop them though, just watches. “here.” he mutters, holding the paper out to the vampire now, “i did it whilst away-- if it flies out the window too, i won’t accept an f though.”

but it’s the sound of branches snapping and getting closer the has the little one shifting into a wolf herself out of instinct and scrambling to nuzzle under his arm and hide that has him sighing. raising a kid that was also a wolf wasn’t the easiest, but at least her wolf was essentially a puppy at this point. it made things easier– “if you’re coming over, then show yourself before i make you.” not that scout could right now, his daughter was keeping him pretty firmly seated on the log and he cared more about her that chasing someone that was close by.

w ow look who it is.. bringing back yet another old muse wow what a situation. but hey hi tis kat again with this situation of a muse and he is my second muse ( your admin bud here also plays zero! so this is a sideblog uh huh ). but he’s a cold alpha boi running one of the packs in keisung after vvv brutally killing the other alpha in front of the whole school :) but he’s been here for 10 years but a year and a half ago he took off for a year ( reason being his daughter was justborn and another pack was after him so he had to lead them away ), and just under a month ago he left again in search of a wolf surrogate but he returned a few days ago... uh huh.. all makes sense in his bio

imma post a starter up soon too, but if you are someone that has any ideas for a connection you’d like to try then feel free to hmu because i’m open to anything!

hyunbin doesn’t notice his brother fully until his wolf’s snarl rips through the air and is launching towards the beast that was heading for him. the thing is, he’s still not moving. scout is fighting this beast for him—like he’s a pup again and needs saving from a big, bad monster—and hyunbin is still rooted in the same spot like vines have come up from the forest floor and trapped him there. he realized belatedly that he’s dissociating. it’s not something that’s ever happened before, but, after everyone thought that scout had been killed, it used to happen to their mother regularly. he’s brought back to himself when he hears scout’s voice. he’s bloody, bruised, with holes and claw marks scattered across his body and hyunbin— he feels terrible. “scout, i—i don’t know what happened. i should have helped. i shouldn’t have been just standing here, what the fuck—,” and then he’s hyperventilating. his chest is tight and he pulls at the shirt he’s wearing, that’s not even his because he shifted and ended up with an arrow shish kebob-ing his body earlier. he could have died just now. if scout hadn’t come, he would have. and, scout could have died trying to protect him. hyunbin would have never forgiven himself if anything fatal had happened to his brother. he couldn’t lose him again.

scout didn’t care that hyunbin hadn’t done anything. he doesn’t care that he hadn’t helped him with it or that he himself had had to kill the thing. it doesn’t matter to him, so long as his brother is safe. that’s all he cares about right now, and that’s all he’s thinking when he turns to make sure than hyunbin is safe and still there with him-- so when he sees him start to panic, can practically sense it within moments, scout is over at the younger and making him sit down. this place might be hell right now, but at least this small zone seems like it’s doing alright. he can spare the moments to make sure bin can breathe and think properly. that he’s really there with him right now. “hey-- hey, stop it. stop saying that.” he shush’s him quietly, hands on either of his shoulders now, rubbing gently and keeping eye level. his injuries would heal later, and right now his brother needed him. “listen to me. you didn’t need to help, alright? it isn’t a bad thing to freeze up, and it is a common reaction. i’ve done it before, i’ll do it again one day, and so have others. the important thing right now is that you’re alive, i’m alive, and we need to get out of here, alright? i need you to breathe, bin.” he sighs, making sure the other is still listening. this isn’t the best time after all to have to talk his brother down from a panic attack anyway, but he’ll still do it and he’ll still protect him if any hunters or other creatures suddenly emerge.  “you still with me, binnie?”

The fact that he’d only managed to have one civil conversation with the other, purely because a child was there, doesn’t matter to Soohan at the moment. All he knows is that he needs Scout and that Scout will protect him. Even though he really doesn’t want to have to see him too. The fear returns in a split second as the scent of hunters invades Soohan’s being once again, only calming slightly when Scout blocks him. But then his mind is only focused on one thought. He never wants to truly make Scout angry because he’s terrifying like this.

A scream is the most coherent sound Sohan has made in minutes and it only comes at the sight of a head disconnecting with a body and flying through the air. If it was any other situation, any other time, he’d be too racked with fear to even think of going near Scout. There are dead bodies on the floor and the alpha put them there but his fear of werewolves steps aside for his need of safety. Scrambling onto the others back without a second thought. 

he’s sure he has seen everyone on campus by now except for @fcknscout. hyunbin thinks he may have caught his scent a few times, but he always looses it in the midst of the overwhelming smells of blood, anger, and fear. his side is still healing from where he was hit with the arrow earlier and it’s sore, but nothing like the pain he had been in originally. he’s wandering now, for the most part. it’s getting late and he should head back to the academy, but he has to know that scout is okay. his head perks up when he thinks he’s caught his scent again. he runs toward it and yells his brother’s name, but what he finds isn’t his brother. it’s some type of creature that looks like it may have escaped the maze, feasting on the severed arm of a a person. hyunbin backs away slowly, but his shouting has already alerted the beast of his presence and, instead of running or attacking like he knows he should, he stands frozen while it heads towards him.

one scout was sure that all his pack were out, couldn’t smell them anymore anyway, his main focus became on finding his brother and finding soohan. sure, the imprint was an inconvenience, but he still needed to know he was alright. but scout catches hyunbin’s scent first, and no longer after is he running towards it, his alpha form propelling him quickly-- and apparently just in time because he can see it. one of the horrible looking creatures from in the depths of the maze looking like it was about to attack his brother. scout doesn’t even have time to think about the fact the younger is freezing up either, only lets out a snarl as he catches the creatures attention instead. if he’d dealt with one in the maze, he could deal with it out of it too, and that’s probably another reason why he doesn’t hesitate in attacking. he can’t tell how long the fight lasts, but he definitely feels claws and teeth sinking into him at odd points, but unsurprisingly, it isn’t as bad as the places the silver had embedded itself into him. scout drops the creature as soon as he’s done with it though, kicking the lifeless thing again before he can feel himself shifting back-- and he knows his wounds look even worse in person, but he’d just have to convince bin he was fine. and now, naked or not, he does turn to his brother, sighing in relief that he was still here anyway. “are you alright?”
