The kwongs II

And soon a fresh scent of weira hit my nose, as a few footsteps were heard shuffling out. I didn't need to see to make out the strong underlying scent of Jackson's pack, and I knew they were heavily doused with drugs, just like me and Razur.

I glanced at the said blond man and saw him staring at the new arrival with angered eyes, like he... couldn't keep his calm.

I was about to quirk my eyebrow at his strange behavior when Draconis made them all sit down on their knees and sprayed around a spicy scented gas.

"This will keep them numb for a while, packs like them are not easy to get," I heard him say, his timid bearing tempering down to a more nervous one.

To my surprise they were all aware of their surrounding and were watching me and Razur with worry, specially Jackson and Yuga, they looked ready to save us both.

"Do you know them?" I heard the leader man ask me, his pack following his gaze to mine.

"Oh he must know them," Draconis answered for me, "we captured them together, but after the thorough checkup, we found out that only he was a virgin," he pointed at me, "and the rest weren't."

I didn't have to run my brain to read the surprised air around Jackson and his brothers, like they hadn't expected it. Sigh.

The omegas were still around, the lot of them were too many to just filter out, so they were watching us as well, just that… I didn't expect the leader guy to suddenly take my face in his palm and pinch my cheeks with his other hand. "He is cute, muscular and well behaved," I wanted to laugh, as he continued, "I suppose we will just mark him for now, that will keep away the hounds from taking his virginity until we reach back home."

I don't know why I felt anger when I heard him say 'mark'. I didn't like anyone touching my body, and specially my neck, made me mad faster than one could say 'snap'.

"Stay back," I growled, when he tried to reach for my neck. It was similar to the previous case when the jailers were trying to fix me with explosive collar, in the end I had to do it myself seeing I had no other options left.

"You are my slave, stop growling, the repercussions would be bad." The leader guy warned, but somewhere in the back of my mind I didn't register his threat, all I cared about now was to keep him away from touching me, especially my neck. Knowing he had threatened to mark me.

From the corner of my eyes I noticed Draconis edging closer to us, anger manifesting on his face with my continuous disrespect towards the Kwong man. Yet, I couldn't reign in the absolute eagerness to get away from the Kwongs.

My body shivered in warning as the leader tried to reach my neck again, "I said stay away!" I shouted at him, making his pack and him stare wide eyed at me, like they hadn't even thought a slave could ever go against them.

"L-let me train him properly Hasuke San," Draconis stammered, "I wasn't able to go through the full-"

Hasuke? I think I had heard about him before, he was the prince of some region.

"Doesn't matter," leader Hasuke said, his eyes narrowing at me, "I will see to it that he is well subdued all the time, I will personally train him."

"But nii-sama-"

"No Hime," he shook his head under his sister's worried gaze, "I have to do it, his disrespect cannot be brushed aside." So with that said, he forced his hold upon me, making a tight grip on the nerves of my neck.

And that did it.

It didn't even take a second for me to feel my claws grow out and the next second I found myself clawing out his left eye, the force and stab perfectly placed.

My collar, the weira, the drugs, wolfsbane, jailers, nothing mattered, when my mind just panicked and took out the one threat I couldn't tolerate.

No one could mark me, not on my watch.

A stillness followed as I stepped back and watched Hasuke's left eyehole starting to bleed, I could hear the blood dripping from his face... and from my claws.

In the stunned silence, I felt the shock from the people and the dumbstruck look on my enemies.

For a moment, not a soul moved... breathed, I had done something I shouldn't have, I realized it too late but a smirk endowed my lips, a bunny smile appearing spontaneously.

"Pardon."

And a set of events followed where a loud scream split from the Hime, gaining momentum as the rest of his pack moved around me, circling me in a malicious trap. While Hasuke started to laugh exactly like a deranged person. As if he couldn't believe he had been attacked in broad daylight.

Draconis from behind me shrieked, ordering his men to activate my collar. I could sense the absolute fear waving off of him and the panic that was engulfing the crowd.

And my extended pack members... they were all too shocked to move yet, even Razur was trying to regain his equilibrium.

In midst of this sudden chaos, the omega slaves that had yet to vacate the courtyard, snapped out of their daze and watched me with instant adoration... respect. As if I was their messiah.

"Fiji!" Hasuke barked, silencing the crowd with a burst of heavy aura, "let no one kill him, not even the collar, I will deal with this."

His right eye glowed a dull copper, the only eye left... and his body flexed, a set of claws coming out, and the fur almost covering his entire torso and limbs. "You are mine to kill, virgin or not. Maybe I will have you as my mate before finishing you off."

I snarled in disgust, "Just try, you don't even understand the importance of mate."

I didn't know myself, where the confidence came from but I wasn't delusional, the strength in me had returned magically and I was feeling beefed up for the death match.

I noticed his pack moved away, following their leader's wish, and… speaking of my own extended leader, Jackson had finally set into motion, trying to free himself. Knowing our chance was now, an escape could be made.

"Cheeky, for an omega."

Gasps came from Kwongs and the jailers, specially Draconis, as he stumbled on empty air, "O-O-Omega?"

I knew it was because Hasuke had turned into a hybrid, so his sense of smell must be heightened. "Yesss, why did you make that mistake, non the less, he will suffer for harming me."

"Don't whine," I chuckled, my claws flexing as I started to turn into my hybrid form, a form I hadn't summoned in a while, "your eye will regenerate, you are a wolf for fu*k's sake."

My response had everyone boiling, while my team laughed with me, they knew they were all in danger because of me, yet, no one complained, it was a mutual bust, in which Jackson's pack and Razur fully supported me.

I had frozen the minute I saw JeonJa take out the prince's eye, it was hilarious but at the same time spelled danger. Danger for my pack and danger for 'him'.

I saw the whole thing, how JeonJa called forth his claws even though we were surrounded by a forest full of wolfsbane. And from his skeletal appearance, I knew he was starved just like us, poisoned just like us, then why the heck wasn't he down on his knees like we were.

I also noticed him reacting explosively to the 'marking', not letting Hasuke touch him on the neck. It was a reaction similar to that of a mated wolf's.

And as far as I knew, JeonJa wasn't mated... for crying out loud, he was a virgin.

Shocking too, but I also concluded he wasn't a lose guy, he was those types who waited for their lucky person. Must have been difficult to keep such purity for so long after being left alone to survive.

But I didn't pity him, he was a soldier, he had fought his fate and came so far with his own might. He was a respect worthy man, though his brattish behavior made him detestable. I wondered how far his wall went, and who he really was, if he ever would trust anyone.

I gaped as I saw him take on a form I had never seen before.

Raven black fur covered his torso, his foot transforming into a werewolf's. Even his hair started to grow out and a tail came about, wagging with static stress.

His eyes went wide and the black of his iris turned to light blue.

The aura around JeonJa was strong, his tough limbs and claws spread out, a dark hue covering the bright sky... such malice I felt seep in my bones, that even my strength bowed to him.

The sky quickly dragged in the clouds, all heavy with sudden rain, the thunder applauding it's summoner and inclining towards the darker accumulations. Which now had become so thick, a manifestation of black fog covered Hasuke and his pack, taking JeonJa within it.

What was happening? I had never seen such raw power before.

And unknowingly, I was trembling under this pressure.

Not a second had passed and the fog intensified again, to such a humongous level, it was an extraordinaire, I couldn't see anything... even the light was trapped out and so were the voices and the sounds. Dead silence was all I heard, no one daring to speak.

And a thought came to mind...

Who was JeonJa, really.
