At the beginning, everything was tough after tragic events such as death and exile. Nothing was so wonderful and happy as before. Taeyong broke down after losing his second half, and even when he tried to hide it you could really see it. He knew that his pack needed him as a leader. However, no one blamed him for what was happening to him.

                           

The boy cried, in the form of a wolf he howled at the moon all night, and he had attacks of aggression. He couldn't function normally anymore. The worst thing in this whole situation was that he couldn't look at me anymore. He knew there was nothing he could do to me, but I could feel his hatred. In every word he says, in every glance. He hated, me and he was right. It was my fault. No matter how many times Jungwon tried to assure me it wasn't me, no matter how many times Jiwon and Jungmi said it, I was still sure it all was because of me. If only I hadn't met Jungwon.

                          

"How is it when you turn into a wolf? What do you feel?" I asked, lying on the bed, leaning my back against the headboard. Jungwon looked at me with a slight smile on his lips. He put down his phone on the bedside table, and thought about what to say.

            

"To be honest, it cannot be described," he confessed, "At the moment when we stand on all four paws, and our senses sharpen, nothing is the same. We see everything differently around us. At this point, we feel something like a.. freedom. We can run ahead, ignore anything. We feel everything with doubled strength, and our senses are working at top speed." Jungwon explained, his eyes

                         

"That sounds wonderful.." I smiled, "Because it is wonderful!" the boy exclaimed, "That's why some of us like to stay in a form of a black wolf for long periods of time. Being in human form is sometimes problematic."

                       

I frowned slightly, looking at him questioningly, "Problematic?"

                       

"We run slower, we have to be careful about what we eat, and as animals.. you know," he shrugged, "It actually makes things easier."

                        

Small chuckle came out of my mouth, "And it also explains why some of you they smell quite... unpleasant. Jungmi doesn't like it either."
