#jinminkookau where they're a coven/pack.
Despite vampires and werewolves being enemies, somehow two vampires and a werewolf find their way into each other's hearts.
This is their story.

Jeongguk is running. He's running and he has to get away.
The alphas chasing him bark aggressively, and the fear spikes the adrenaline and makes Jeongguk run faster.
He loses them when he gets to a mountain range. The alphas stopped abruptly and turned around,

which was weird, but he's not complaining. After a couple minutes, he finally stops running.
It's almost sunset now, so he needs to find a safe place to sleep.
He runs further into the mountain range, staying on the bottom, surrounded by tall trees that make everything darker.

He doesn't find nook to tuck himself into, but when he calms down enough, he notices that there's a weird scent clinging to the trees. It's not an animal, but it's not human either.
It's just weird.
He's never smelt it before.
Could whatever it is be the reason why the alphas

stopped chasing him?
He curls up at the foot of a tree and ignores his stomach, putting his rail on top of his nose. He's hungry, but he can't do anything about it.
Not when it's so dark. Not when he's never hunted anything before.

There's something off about this place.
The alphas should've continued chasing him until he either got away or they killed him, but they turned around when he neared the mountain range.
Well, whatever animal it is, he hopes it doesn't bother him.

Jeongguk wakes up with a start, looking around frantically to find what could've snapped that branch. It's the middle of the night, so it must be some sort of nocturnal animal.
But the scent . . .
The weird scent is stronger.
Much stronger.

Then, the scent suddenly goes faint. It's going away.
Jeongguk relaxes now and curls up again, but sleep doesn't come easily. The animal might come back.
The next morning, he goes further into the mountain range. Even though the animal went this way, deeper into the mountains,

The next morning, he goes further into the mountain range. Even though the animal went this way, deeper into the mountains,
10
since it's nocturnal, Jeongguk should be fine.
He needs to get out of here soon. The trees block too much of the sun, and there's not likely to be any berries or trees he can live off of temporarily.

🐺
Luckily, he hasn't had another run-in with the animal, but the scent of it is still everywhere.
He can't manage to kill anything. The two times he spots a smaller animal nearby, they run away at the sight of him.
He doesn't know how to stay hidden.

12
He's tried staying low and he's tried being as quiet as he can.
But he's just too clumsy. He's always making some sort of noise to alert the animals.
He finds a blackberry bush though, so he shifts and eagerly eats until the sourness lingers in his mouth.

13
He panics once and shifts, when the smell of the weird thing gets closer, but because it didn't come too close, Jeongguk doesn't leave the area.
Why is it out in the daylight? He thought the animal was nocturnal.

He doesn't shift back and curles up in front of the bush to take a nap.
It's almost evening so he'll probably wake up around sunrise, even dawn, but he just hopes the animal doesn't come close to him again.
He needs to get out of this mountain range.

🐺
The next day, he finds a dead rabbit. Untouched.
It's weird, because the weird smell is strong on the rabbit, but the rabbit /can't/ be the animal, the animal couldn't have killed this rabbit /for/ Jeongguk.
But why would it just leave food lying around?

16
Jeongguk steps closer and pokes it. It's thin, very thin. When nothing happens he pokes it again.
Then he turns it around and notices the blood caked on the ground and fur, and looks closer at the cause. Two deep piercings on the shoulder.

17
He looks at the ground again, but there isn't enough blood spilled for the rabbit to die from blood loss.
Did the animal just drain the blood, then? What for?
Jeongguk's tempted to eat the rabbit, but there's no telling if the rabbit's poisoned or something by the animal.

He leaves the rabbit and hopes to stumble upon a live rabbit, one the animal hasn't touched.
He's starving and hopes to find something to eat come nightfall.

The animal is nearby again, but he doesn't know where. Its scent is surrounding him from everywhere, but particularly from from two different places, from in front of him and behind him, and its messing with him mind.

20
So far, there's only one animal. There's only been evidence of one animal. Why is the scent of it implying two?
The animal is close by, but no matter where Jeongguk looks, he can't see it. His instincts are going haywire, telling him to bolt, and adrenaline is high.

21
He's ready to snarl and growl and claw just as much as he's ready to flee and get away. No matter how much he travels, he just can't get out of the animal's territory.
How is it able to keep its scent so fresh in such a big area of land? It just doesn't make sense.

22
Just like the other times, the animal leaves on its own. The scent of it is still surrounding him, still cloying and, just, weird. The scent is so weird. He's never smelled anything like it before.
23
He doesn't know why the animal doesn't attack even though it knows Jeongguk is here, doesn't know why the animal doesn't do anything but so obviously spies on him, but he can't afford to stay and figure out why or when it might change its mind.
He needs to get out of here quick.

No matter how far Jeongguk travels, the animal's scent surrounds him. Sickeningly fresh.
No matter how far Jeongguk travels, he can't get out of the animal's land. It's much too massive, and he's too dehydrated to travel for long periods of time effectively anyway.

25
He shifts into his human form and crouches down in front of a cluster of blueberry bushes. The taste is syrup-sweet, and Jeongguk knows something is wrong.
He squishes one in his hand and finds that the juice is a magenta, and spits whatever's in his mouth out onto the ground.

26
Upon closer inspection of the berries in his hand, he realizes that they're a slightly different shape. While blueberries and horizontally oval-like, these are rounder, almost like perfect circles.
He's hungry, but he doesn't know these berries. He's never seen them before.
He's hungry, but he doesn't know these berries. He's never seen them before.
27
He huffs in frustration and throws them on the ground.
He's dehydrated and starving. No matter how many times he tries to wet his tongue, it feels like sandpaper, and there are no animals that he's been able to stumble across on.

28
He doesn't know how to build snares—he was never taught anything about hunting because he's an omega.
Instead, it was all housekeeping and keeping himself tidy and well-behaved while his alpha and beta siblings were allowed to play as much as they wanted with nothing more than

a scolding for dirtying themselves, even though he was just as much of a child as they were.
Even now, in the wild, he's useless! If he were an alpha, he'd be fine—no, if he were an alpha, he wouldn't have left in the first place.
Alphas don't get forced to mate.

30
Jeongguk starts breaking twigs off the bushes, but then starts to take the leaves off only because of the tiny thorns.
He's going to die and there'll be no one but the creepy animal as the witness. Pack Alpha would laugh cruelly and tell him he deserves it for refusing to mate,

as it was his duty to, and his parents would be right on board.
The leaves aren't satisfying enough and he goes back to the twigs. Feeling the berries fall onto his legs every time the jerk of a branch breaking is accompanied with a snap is relaxing. The little thorns dig into

32
his skin, but the pain is a welcome distraction from his anger.
His thoughts drift back to the escape, to the chase. The alphas turned back immediately and fearfully. Did they know about the animal living in this territory? Do they know what it is? What it eats?

33
It wouldn't surprise him. Alphas, betas and omegas get different educations that are adapted to the duties they're expected to perform.
For omegas, after the age of fourteen, it was how to take a knot and be a good spouse, meanwhile for other subgenders it was building

off those basic skills, recognizing herbs, and the basic do's and don'ts of hunting.
They didn't even think of mating when all that was shoved in the omegas' faces was that they were at an eligible age now, that people were looking at them and that these years mattered the most

35
in securing a courtship for once they were out of school, which ended two years earlier than it did for the other subgenders because there isn't much omegas need to learn, apparently. Especially when all they're going to do is rear pups and keep house for the rest of their lives.
36
It infuriates Jeongguk, the lack of respect and compassion omegas receive and are expected to receive.
He hates children. They make him miserable. It's why he ran away from his arranged mating in the first place. If he's going to die, he'd rather it be on his own terms, even

37
starving and dehydrated as he is than under the control of an alpha with pups he must consider and give away his life to when he never wanted them in the first place.
His hands are bleeding and stained with the juice of the berries and his legs stained and covered with branches.

38
He sighs and gently pushes the branches off his lap. No matter how much his pack's way of life infuriates him, he can't get rid of their teachings. They're ingrained in him. No matter how relieved he feels, it's also accompanied by guilt.
39
He failed his duty as an omega, the easiest duty anyone could have, the one common duty every omega has.
But he wasn't ready. He never will be for pups.
But he wasn't ready. He never will be for pups.
40
"Well, well, well," says a voice.
Jeongguk whips his head around and finds a man standing behind him, hand cocked on his hip, smirking. His features aren't defined under the night cover.
Jeongguk notices it now, the animal's cloying scent. It's coming from this man.

41
Jeongguk turns his body to face the man and scrambles back, into the bush.
Oh no.
"Who do we have here, ruining our shrubbery?" Says a second voice to his right. This man is built thicker and has a high voice.
Oh no, no, no.

They're vampires. He's wandered right into these vampires' territory.
The last thing he feels is the scratching of the thicket against his backside.

🐺
Jeongguk wakes up someplace cold and dark. Pelts surround him, acting as blankets, and he wriggles, cozying up in them. It's still cold, but he can make do. It's not the first time the pack grounds are cold at night and it won't be the last— wait. He ran away from his pack.

45
Jeongguk's eyes open and surges up, though he takes a moment to steady himself because he's dizzy.
"You're awake."
Jeongguk looks behind himself and finds both of the vampires watching him.
"You're awake."
Jeongguk looks behind himself and finds both of the vampires watching him.
46
One of them is sitting with one leg bent and the other one extended forward with an arm on top of the bent leg and the other vampire is standing with his arms crossed. He can’t exactly see who is who because of the darkness, only the general shape of their bodies and faces.
47
Jeongguk turns around and brings the pelts up on his lap to cover himself. It's cold and he's very much naked which is especially frowned upon for an omega. He needs to cover himself, but these aren't his pelts. The most he can use them for right now is to cover his lower half.
48
However, it doesn't look like the vampires really care because they're just as naked as he is, but they're not trying to do anything to cover themselves.
"He's trying to be modest," the one standing says. "How cute."
Jeongguk purses his lips.

Jeongguk purses his lips.
49
"So," the one sitting says. He was the one to speak first and say he’s awake. "What were you doing on our territory?"
"I was running away," he answers honestly. "I ran away from my pack. I didn't mean to come into your territory, but I couldn't go back. I was planning on
"I was running away," he answers honestly. "I ran away from my pack. I didn't mean to come into your territory, but I couldn't go back. I was planning on
50
getting out of here anyway. I had no plans to stay."
"Good to know," the one standing says. "However, you came into our territory anyway. /And/ you stayed for several days."
"I couldn't go back or around. I had to go through."
"Good to know," the one standing says. "However, you came into our territory anyway. /And/ you stayed for several days."

51
"What's your name?" he asks.
"Jeongguk."
"Why did you run away?"
"Jeongguk."
"Why did you run away?"
52
"An arranged mating. I didn't want it."
"And you thought stumbling through a vampire's territory was a better option?" he raises his eyebrows.
"And you thought stumbling through a vampire's territory was a better option?" he raises his eyebrows.
53
"Again, I didn't have any intentions to stay. I wanted to get out of here as soon as possible. And I didn't even know this area belonged to vampires. I had no idea until you two showed yourselves. Were either of you following me?"
54
"Yes," the one sitting says. "We couldn't just let an uninvited /werewolf/ walk around our territory however he pleases, could we? Do you even know how to hunt? I thought that ability was the pride of your species."
55
"I'm an omega. I was never taught even the basic theoretics of how to hunt."
Their eyebrows fly up and they glance at each other. "An omega?" the standing one says. "Running away from an arranged mating? What, was he abusive? Well, more abusive than the average joe?"

56
Alphas are only allowed to discipline their mates whenever they misbehave or act out of line. If an alpha does any of that, however, then they just get a scolding from some other alpha. Omegas are not, in any way, allowed to do anything that their alpha doesn't allow, otherwise
57
that'll be a valid reason for an alpha to discipline their mate. Omegas are also not allowed to do anything that might make themselves seem superior to an alpha such as scolding, refusing, or guiding them, regardless of age.
58
"No, he was average. I just don't want pups."
"Well that's not something you hear every day from an omega. You hate pups so much that you'd rather become a rogue? That is, if you even survive longer than a month."
"Yes."
"Well that's not something you hear every day from an omega. You hate pups so much that you'd rather become a rogue? That is, if you even survive longer than a month."
"Yes."
59
"Understandable. My covenmate also abhors children."
Covenmate? Is that what vampires call their packmate? The covenmate, the one that's sitting, nods but doesn't say anything further.

60
"So, what are you going to do with me?" Jeongguk asks. "Drain my blood and leave my carcass somewhere?"
"No," the one standing says. "Well, that /was/ the plan, but we also thought you were either an alpha or beta. An incompetent and weak one, but still an alpha or beta."
"No," the one standing says. "Well, that /was/ the plan, but we also thought you were either an alpha or beta. An incompetent and weak one, but still an alpha or beta."
61
The vampire shrugs. "We can either escort you to the west of our territory, since you came from the north, or we can kill you off. Choice is yours."
"Why to the west? Why not South?"
"The south and east are predominantly other vampire territories. The north and west are
"Why to the west? Why not South?"
"The south and east are predominantly other vampire territories. The north and west are
62
werewolf packs. Our territory is in the dead centre."
"Oh. It's a clear-cut divide between vampires and werewolves?"
"Yeah. There was a settlement a while ago. Don't they teach you this in school or whatever educational institution wolves go to?"
"Oh. It's a clear-cut divide between vampires and werewolves?"
"Yeah. There was a settlement a while ago. Don't they teach you this in school or whatever educational institution wolves go to?"
63
Jeongguk shakes his head. “They teach us different things based on sub-gender.” What about humans? Where do they live? He knows they exist because he’s seen one before when they entered their pack grounds to hold a meeting with the pack alpha.
64
"Sad." He certainly doesn't sound bothered by this piece of information or even look it. "You still haven't made your decision. Do you want us to escort you out or do you want to die?"
65
Jeongguk licks his lips. "What if I try to find my own way out?" He doesn’t really feel safe with the vampires, even if they didn’t kill him the moment he passed out.
"Then we'll take that as the second option. You're on /our/ territory."
"Then we'll take that as the second option. You're on /our/ territory."
66
"Right, sorry. Can you please escort me to the West?" He's not sure if he can make it, starving and dehydrated as he is, but he's willing to try. He has to try.
"Okay. Do you want water? Or food?"
"Okay. Do you want water? Or food?"
67
Jeongguk's eyes widen but he quickly makes his face go back to normal. He licks his lips and the lack of moisture is apparent. "Yes please. To both."
The one sitting chuckles and stands up. He yells “Bat!” and turns into one, then flies towards Jeongguk, who brings his hands up
The one sitting chuckles and stands up. He yells “Bat!” and turns into one, then flies towards Jeongguk, who brings his hands up
68
to protect his face, but the vampire goes upwards at the last moment. Jeongguk sees an opening at the top, which is what the vampire uses to go out.
“So,” says the standing vampire, “why go to the west when they’re known for being even more traditional than the Northern packs?”
“So,” says the standing vampire, “why go to the west when they’re known for being even more traditional than the Northern packs?”
69
Jeongguk’s eyes widen. “I didn’t know that.” Seriously? The west is even more traditional than his own pack? They must do mating runs if they’re that traditional. Ugh, he can’t even imagine doing one of those.
70
The vampire raises an eyebrow, unimpressed. “Damn, what do they teach you in schools? Even the human females learn more than you have and they learn a lot less than the males.”
71
Jeongguk shrugs. “How to read and write, basic math, basic history, how to please your alpha, how to behave like an omega, and how to take care of your home.”
“Oh, that makes sense now.”
“Oh, that makes sense now.”
72
One of the things he learned is to never speak to an alpha unless spoken to, and to never ask any question because curiosity from an omega is annoying, but this vampire is not an alpha. Since the vampire mentioned it himself, he asks, “Where do the humans live?”
73
“I don’t exactly know,” he shrugs. The fact that he’s not shaming Jeongguk for even daring to speak, let alone ask a question, is riveting. “I know humans live in the west because there has been some conflict between the werewolves and human settlements, but I don’t know anything
74
other than that.”
“What’s your name?” Jeongguk asks, growing bold. “And your covenmate’s name?”
“I’m Seokjin. My covenmate is Jimin.”
“What’s your name?” Jeongguk asks, growing bold. “And your covenmate’s name?”
“I’m Seokjin. My covenmate is Jimin.”
75
“Why didn’t you kill me right when I entered your territory? Or right when you noticed me? You’ve been aware of my presence for a while.”
“We wanted to observe you. We saw you when you entered our land, but we agreed to wait to see what you do.”
“We wanted to observe you. We saw you when you entered our land, but we agreed to wait to see what you do.”
76
Jeongguk nods and looks around. From what he can see in the darkness, the place is very bare. There are pelts on the floor and the walls are black. Can he ask why it’s this bare? Did they recently move here? The forest didn’t smell like it though.
77
Well, Seokjin hasn’t told him to shut up, so Jeongguk doesn’t think he minds, but it is a personal question. He doesn’t have any business in asking about their home.
78
Seokjin is quiet otherwise. He just stands there, watching Jeongguk, and Jeongguk avoids his eyes, lowering his head a bit, playing with the fur.
Because he’s naked, he feels exposed and vulnerable, but it’s not something he can change.
Because he’s naked, he feels exposed and vulnerable, but it’s not something he can change.
79
Neither of the vampires are wearing clothes, and they made fun of him for covering himself up. He doesn’t really think it matters, though, because he was naked the entire time he was asleep, which has been for hours now. It was midday when he fainted and well into the night now.
80
Because nudity is required for shifting, it’s another reason omegas can’t do much outside of childrearing. No alpha can see an omega naked except for the mate. Shifting is frowned upon for omegas.
81
The adrenaline is the only thing that kept him out of reach of those alphas, which he’s still marvelling at. He, someone who has only ever shifted three times in his life, outran a group of alphas!
“What are you smiling about?” Seokjin asks distastefully.
“What are you smiling about?” Seokjin asks distastefully.
82
Jeongguk stops smiling and looks up at Seokjin, frozen otherwise— he’s stopped playing with the pelt. “Um. I outran a group of alphas long enough to get here,” he says with a little bit of pride. “An omega outrunning an alpha is unheard of.”
83
“Okay.”
Jeongguk nods and looks back down, starting to play with the pelt’s fur again. Of course Seokjin doesn’t care. What was he expecting, a ‘good job’ or ‘that’s amazing’?
Jeongguk nods and looks back down, starting to play with the pelt’s fur again. Of course Seokjin doesn’t care. What was he expecting, a ‘good job’ or ‘that’s amazing’?
84
Suddenly, something flies in and lands in front of Jeongguk, but it immediately grows larger in size. Jeongguk brings an arm up to shield himself, but when the thing speaks, Jeongguk lowers his arm.
85
“I brought a deer and some water in tree bark,” he nods to the bowl in front of Jeongguk. “I’ll bring the deer down now.” Without giving time for Jeongguk to respond, he yells, “Bat!” and shifts into a bat, flying up into the hole. Seconds later, he’s bringing a full-sized deer.
86
He has trouble bringing it through the hole, but he easily carries it and brings it down, in front of Jeongguk, lying it down behind the bowl. He goes back to sit against the wall, beside Seokjin.

First, Jeongguk grabs the bowl with both hands and drinks greedily. The bowl is fragile, he can tell, and uncomfortable for his lips because of how prickly and rough the edges are. He drinks most of it before he stops, saving it for later.
88
When he puts the bowl down, he takes a moment to think about how he’s going to eat the deer. He decides to shift. Hunters eat raw meat when they’re shifted. It’s imperative they don’t eat raw meat when they’re not shifted because it’ll make them sick.
89
When he tries a bite, it’s bloody and furry. He takes a couple more bites to rip the pelt off so that he can get to the meat but so far he doesn’t like it. It is an acquired taste, he’s heard. He bites into the meat, and even though it’s not bad, he doesn’t exactly like it.
90
It’s very bloody, which isn’t something he exactly likes. Still, he can’t just throw it in their faces. He has to eat. He can’t eat all of it, and he thinks the vampires know it, but he has to eat a good chunk of it to not be ill-mannered.
91
The vampires watch him eat, not taking their attention off him for even a moment.
When he’s full, he feels both proud of himself and disgusted. Even for an omega, he has a small appetite. What he’s eaten is almost twice as much as what he normally eats.

92
It’s good because he hasn’t eaten a proper meal in days and it’s good manners to eat a lot when you’re a guest, but he’s been raised that the less he eats, the better it is for two reasons: because the alphas need it more and because omegas with small appetites are attractive.
93
It’s stupid, he knows, but he can't help it. It's how he was raised.
“Is the food not to your liking?”Jimin asks.
Jeongguk looks up and immediately shakes his head. “It’s great. Thank you for the food. I’m full though. Will you, um, ‘eat’ the rest of it?”

94
They shake their heads. “We’re not hungry right now.”
Jeongguk nods and drinks the rest of his water.
“Are you done?” Seokjin asks.
“Yes.”
Jeongguk nods and drinks the rest of his water.
“Are you done?” Seokjin asks.
“Yes.”
95
“Then let’s get going.”
Jeongguk’s eyebrows go up. “Now?”
“Is there a problem with that?”
“Well, it’s just— it’s nighttime.”

“And?”
“I can’t see as well as an alpha can.”
“Right. Okay. We’ll go in the morning then. Go to sleep.”
He’s actually not that sleepy, but he lies down and pulls the pelts up anyway. It actually isn’t long before he starts to doze off.
