Chapter 01

It was early autumn morning, when the breeze blew in through the window, moving the fluttering curtains to the side, allowing the beautifully rising sun to enter the room and fall on the angelic face that was resting on the pillow. The breeze was sweeping the flocks on that face here and there, letting the sun rays to kiss every part of that beautiful face, outside the birds were chirping and leaves were fluttering giving a beautiful singing contrast to the situation.

In this situation the face that was resting looked exactly like a celestial being, that was sleeping peacefully without the care of worldly affairs.

"Master, please wake up. It's already seven. You are getting late." Lee Byung-ho who was sleeping peacefully, heard his servant calling him.

"what time is it?" asked Byung-ho sleepily.

"Master its 7 o'clock." his servant replied.

"umm 7 o'clock " Byung-ho muttered with himself while turning to the other side. "WHAT 7 O'CLOCK?" he suddenly shouted while sitting in the bed. Today was a very special day. Today was the day of his brother marriage, how could he sleep till this late.

"why didn't you wake me up earlier?"

"young master I did try but you just wouldn't wake up."

"ughhh come and help me. hurry up." his servant went forward and helped Byung-ho dress up. Just as he got dressed, another servant came.

"young master the lord asks for you." the servant said while bowing.

"Dad is calling me? Why is he calling me this early in the morning?" Byung-ho asked his servant.

"I don't know young master. The lord didn't say anything."

"it's okay. Where is he now?"

"In his study young master."

"okay." With saying that he went straight to his father study. when he came to his study, he heaved a long sigh, Byung-ho knew very well why his father asked for him. It was probably to lecture him. He stood there for a while but before he could knock on the door, the man inside asked. "Come in already"

Byung-ho went inside and saw his father and mother discussing some matters with the butler. When he came in front of his parents he greeted them. "Dad, Mom good morning."

"Morning son" his mother replied, while his father just nodded.

His father talked with his butler for a moment before dismissing him. "ok so my dear son."

Just when Byung-ho heard this, he knew his father was going to start his lecture, but Byung-ho was absolutely not in the mood. Absolutely not today. For goodness sake it was his brother's wedding day and he was very happy and high spirited, and he hasn't even done anything yet, he definitely wasn't in the mood to hear any lectures from his father.

Before his father could speak any further, Byung-ho suddenly went forward and hugged his father. "Dad I know what you are gonna say, that I should not play around, and I should not mess with others, I must behave and blah blah. Dad I know all this already. So please, don't lecture me now. Today I'm really in high spirit, so please don't spoil the mood for me. pretty please" today was the day when his elder brother was getting married.

He was getting married to his childhood beta friend Park Hyun-woo, who later turned out to be his mate.

His father looked at him as if he was looking at some dumb thing. But before his father could realise what happened his son had already left. "But I havent even said anything, and that's not what I was even going to say" his wife who was standing beside him chuckled hearing her husband complaint.

"He never listen." she took her husband's hand and said lovingly "it's okay. I'll ask his brother to look after him. you need not to worry too much."

"how can I not worry? He is no longer a kid. He will soon turn 18. He needs to act maturely now. And till when will his brother look after him? His brother is also getting married today, soon he will have his own family."

One must know that for werewolves, turning 18 means starting a new life. It is the day they officially become an adult and can choose their life partner. When werewolves turn 18, they can sense their significant other through special sense automatically and then they can mark each other at any time. Marking for a werewolf is like a marriage.

It's not like they can't marry others than their chosen partners, If a werewolf like someone else other than their natural chosen partner than they can marry them by rejecting the other but since ancient times it is said that, the partners that are selected by nature are actually in reality selected by the moon Godess. So there relationship is much strong, than the one they choose themselves. That's why most werewolves try to wait till they find their natural chosen partner.

"I can understand you." his wife replied, caressing her husband's hand. She knew that her husband was worried cause of Byung-ho's future. There were still more then two weeks in Byung-ho's Birthday but that didnt mean that his father can't worry for him. What Byung-ho's father was afraid of that in today's ceremony his son doesn't do something that he must not.

Byung-ho was a beta, but he was weak and shorter than any normal beta, and that's exactly what made his father worried the most. He was worried that his son might provoke someone that he shouldn't.

"My dear husband, stop worrying too much. Today is a precious day for our son. I know what you are worried about but let's not think about it for now. en?" she kissed her husband on the forehead, but her husband didn't say anything, he just kept frowning.

While his father was worrying about him, Byung-ho was here enjoying his life with his brothers and friends. "hey Byung-ho, come here help me carry this table." Chan-yeol who was friend of Byung-ho's brother and his childhood crush, asked.

Usually these chores were done by their servants but according to Byung-ho's mother if such special events are arranged by one's self they are more fun. And so all of his and his brother's friends were invited to have so called 'fun'.

"oh y-yeah sure hyung" Byung-ho stuttered while his friend Wooyoung who knew about his crush secret, winked at him. Byung-ho blushed and kicked his friend before running to help Chan-yeol.

Chan-yeol was son of head beta, who served Byung-ho's father. Chan-yeol was a tall and slander, handsome alpha. He had dark brown eyes, that felt like a void ready to devour those who looked at them. He had a pointed nose and sharp jawline. He had long and slender fingers, when one looked at those beautiful hands they couldn't resist but had the urge to be felt by those hands.

Byung-ho little brother also saw this exchange and thought of teasing him. Just as Byung-ho was running past him, his little brother stick out his foot in front of him and Byung-ho unaware of this little devil's scheme tripped over that foot and fell face straight on the floor.

The little devil getting success in his scheme started laughing. When Byung-ho realised what happened he couldn't help but wanted to dig the earth and first stuff this little devil inside it and then bury himself from the embarrassment he got in front of his crush and thus, this thing in his mind he started chasing after the little devil.

"you brat! just pray that I don't catch you, otherwise I am gonna teach you a lesson." and that's how one 'soon to be an adult' and one kid started chasing each other while throwing all the things that came in their way at each other.

After a long busy day it was finally evening time, the time of the main event. Guest were starting to come to partake in this event, everyone were busy receiving the guests but only Byung-ho was no where to be seen.

"Aunt where is Byung-ho?" wooyoung asked Byung-ho's mother.

"Don't know son. I think he is still busy in getting ready. Can you please go and get him for me. Almost all guests have come, and the wedding ceremony will start soon, but he is no where to be seen."

"it's okay aunt. Relax. You just focus on the guests. I'm gonna get him right away." Wooyoung saying this went to get his friend but what he saw was his friend scolding his servant.

"Yo Byung-ho what happened."

Seeing his friend, Byung-ho started whining "look what he did to my hair. I asked him to dress my hair the way that it look unique and attractive but look what he did. it doesn't look good at all."

"Come on man. you know you are the most handsome. No matter what you do, you always look handsome. And it looks good enough. I think this hair style suits you the best." Wooyoung knew how to calm his friend down. Hearing his friend praising him, Byung-ho indeed calmed down.

"but-"

"no buts. You don't believe me?"

"it's not like that. It's just that... are you sure it looks good."

"100 percent sure. I guarantee that Chan-yeol will like it too"

"shut up. I'm not doing it for him." Byung-ho blushed.

Seeing that his master now no longer look dissatisfied the servant heaved a sigh of relief. Usually his master was not a person to scold others but he doesn't compromise when it comes to looks.

"okay let's get going. The wedding ceremony will start soon and yet you are here. Hurry up." and saying this they both went to join the ceremony.

When the wedding vows were taken, everyone started celebrating it. "yo Brother congratulations." Byung-ho rushed and hugged his brother tightly. "now I won't have an elder brother who would bring me snacks and would help me sneek out whenever I am bored. Now you will only care about your wife. boo-hoo" Byung-ho said while fake crying.

"you little brat how can you say it like I am stealing your brother from you. And it was me who would bring you snacks most of the time." his brother-in-law pinched him on his ear while complaining.

"aish-aish I was just Kidding. I'm sorry. I'm sorry." after saying sorry his brother-in-law left his ear and opened his arms. When Byung-ho saw this he jumped in his embrace. "now that's like it."

"hehehe. My brother-in-law is the best."

"I want a hug too." Byung-ho's brother teased his husband, who hearing it blushed.

"hey yo brother I am still here."

Just as they were having fun, his father called for Byung-ho. "oh no. I don't want to go."

"it seems like father want you to meet with someone."

"Seems like it. but I don't want to meet with anyone."

"it's ok. you just need to say some pleasantries. It won't take too much time. Just go and get with it." his brother consoled him.

"okay" and saying this he went to his father.

Seeing his son coming, his father said. "Come here Byung-ho. Meet with Mr. and Mrs. Han."

Byung-ho saw an old couple standing with his father."Hello uncle and aunt."

"Oh that is Byung-ho? That little naughty bean. Look at him he has grown up." Mrs. Han suddenly cried. "Do you remember me?"

"ummm" Byung-ho looked at her and tried to recall her but he couldn't. "I'm afraid I don't."

"Oh it's absolutely okay. after all you were too little when we last met." Mrs. Han smiled sweetly. "By the way meet my son. Han Dong-hae." she gestured to her right but there was no one. "huh where did he go."

"I'm here mom." a tall handsome guy replied.

"oh here he is. Where did you run off to suddenly."

"I just saw some of my friends. So I went to greet them."

"Whatever. By the way meet Byung-ho."

"Hello its-" when Han Dong-hae saw Byung-ho, his words got stuck in his throat. He started scrutinising him from head to toe. When Byung-ho saw this he became kind of uncomfortable.

"He-hello, its Byung-ho." Byung-ho greeted, trying to change the atmosphere.

"Dong-hae" Dong-hae replied, extending his arm. When Byung-ho took his hand, Dong-hae squeezed it. Byung-ho suddenly retracted his hand.

"I think you two should talk to each other. I gotta meet some other people." and with saying this Byung-ho father left him with this weird man.
