Beast of ther Matter chapter 23
beat-ed by moon1084
Jae and Yunho
I lifted my head off the wolfʼs back as I see the trees thin out and then we were back to the clearing where the cars and my motorcycle awaited us.
As we slowed, I could also see that we are the first to arrive back.
Yunho slowed and came to a stop. His feet pawing the earth, as he looked at me over his back. Carefully I slid off the werewolf's back, being extra gentle as my feet touched the ground. Signing in relief when I felt no pain in my backside, I smiled. I was healed because the nanos had done their job quickly this time.
Turning in time, I watched Yunho shift from his werewolf form to human form in seconds. The transformation pretty much reversing as he
went from standing on all fours to standing on his two long legs. Naked. Again.
Neither of us had said a word on the ride back. Not mentally or physical, the silence soothing.
Looking around us, I see that it had gotten late and we needed to leave soon. Wondering where the others were, I gasped suddenly when I saw a giant werewolf came running out of the woods. It was black, with Junsu clinging onto his back.
Yoochun came to a stop and I laughed as Junsu limply fell to the ground moaning. As I started to move to Junsu's side, I stopped in
my tracks, letting out a small cry. Yoochun had switched back to human form and was also completely butt naked.
I turned quickly away, hiding my red face, only to come face to face with the other wolves, either running into the clearing or standing in their human forms naked. No shame what so ever was apparent on their faces.
I lowered my eyes to the grounds and made my way over to Yunho. Grabbing him by the arm, "Shouldn't you get dressed? We have to leave
soon. " I muttered to him, pulling him to the motorcycle. I led him to the other side partially blocking him from the others eyes.
Yunho laughed, "You know the pack has seen me naked countless times." He somehow knew exactly what was on my mind. I lowered my head again to hide my red face.
I frowned, "Well, the vampires haven't, and I don't wish for them to know what you look like." I snapped out as I handed over his clothes to him. "Get dressed. We have to go."
I let my eyes take in the wolfʼs body, as he got dressed. His chest muscles flexing as he raised his arms to slide the shirt over his head. His calves firm from the run.
Yunho caught my glances and grinned, "So, you don't want others looking at me, huh? Are you by any chance getting possessive over me?"
I smirked as I shrugged putting on my leather-riding jacket, "In your dreams wolf. I just don't share." No way was I going to let him know that the others looking at him set my blood to boiling.
Yunho looked at me thoughtfully, "No, I DONʼT think in my dreams. I think you care more than youʼre willing to let on, or even let yourself know." Yunho finished dressing by pulling on his last boot, standing as he looked over to the pack.
I glanced behind me and found the other guys already dressed and getting into their respective cars. I walked over to Junsu's side, leaning on the door, meeting Junsu's eyes, "You guys head to the club. Yunho and I will follow." Junsu nodded sliding in beside Yoochun. I waved them off and headed back over to Yunho.
Yunho stood watching me, "What?" I pulled on my helmet, leaving the visor up, slipping on my gloves.
"Let me drive back." Yunho said and I almost fell over. "WHAT!" I laughed out thinking that Yunho was joking, but stopped when I see that the wolf was serious. "No. No I can't. No one drives but me." I shook my head to emphasize the fact that I was against him driving my baby.
"So, you don't trust me. I'm going to be on that bike also. I'm not likely to do anything stupid." Yunho paused a moment, "Just let me drive."
I bit my lip. Did I trust him enough? I had sex with him. But that didn't mean that I trusted him.
But he didn't kill me when he found out about his parents. Should I let him drive? I looked down at the mist rising from the ground and then back up to Yunho, "Alright, you can drive, but be very careful." I signed as Yunho climbed onto the front of the bike.
He turned and patted the seat behind him. Oh right. Now I get to ride bitch.
I swung my leg over and settle myself behind the wolf, slapping the visor down just as Yunho started the bike up.
I leaned into the wolf and wrapped my arms around his waist, swallowing hard as I feel my heart beat faster. I looked around and wondered if Yunho would ever bring me back here. Wondered if I would ever get to ride on Yunho's back again. Wondered if I would ever get to see him in the half wolf half human form again.
I felt Yunho shift the bike into gear and we headed out. I moved closer to Yunho's back, I could feel the heat coming from his body through his gear and it felt good.
I watched the trees pass by as Yunho picked up speed. It didn't take long at all for us to catch up with the cars. We rode behind them for a while, until Yunho pulled out and whipped around them.
I looked into the windows and saw the vampiresʼ mouths hanging open. Probably shocked that I would let Yunho drive my baby. I smiled
as I see their shocked expressions.
We move back in front of the cars, Yunho shifted gears and we took off, leaving the cars in our dust.
I laughed out at the free feeling of being behind Yunho once again. It was great riding behind Yunho on the bike, but I had to admit that I loved riding on Yunho while we ran through the woods.
I frowned. I used the word love. Love. Did I really feel like I loved Yunho?
No. I frowned shaking my head. NO!
Signing. Maybe I did. I closed my eyes. Just admit it Jaejoong. You love that annoying, sexy, nerve wracking, hot as hell, stubborn....ahhhhh!
Just admit it! You love him!
My eyes snapped open. I love Yunho!
I groaned as the realization seeped in. Oh god! I love that werewolf!
Not knowing a goofy grin spread over my mouth as I thought on it.
But how what about Yunho? My smile fell. Yunho never said anything about love.
Yunho never said he loved me. Never even hinted at coming close to loving me.
We were just good fuck buddies. Nothing more.
Ok. So I wanted it to be more. Now was a time that I wish I could read minds. If I knew what was in his head it would be much easier to protect myself from getting hurt.
I closed my eyes as I felt the muscles in Yunho's back bunch up and then relax.
But, he's my lifemate. That's all that matters right now. He knows that he's mine, and I'm his. Well, I'll be his as soon as he accepts me for the rest of our lives.
I smiled. I liked the sound of that. The rest of ours lives. Together. Forever. Yes, that sounded good.
I came out of my musings when we pulled into the clubs parking lot.
Yunho killed the bike, and we both stood from the motorcycle.
We stood together, taking off our helmets, gloves and unzipping our jackets.
I lifted my head and peeked at Yunho, only to see him staring at me.
Looking back towards the ground, I held out my hand for the keys, "I need the keys so I can open the club doors." I muttered to him.
Yunho tossed the keys to me and I caught them mid air. Walking away, I led the way to the door. Unlocking the front door, I headed straight for the office, "Yunho, can you turn on the interior lights?" I called out to the wolf. Not waiting for his reply, I entered the office, closing the door behind me.
Stashing my gear in the closet, I shut the door and signed.
The night had been perfect. So perfect, and I had to ruin it by thinking too much. Thinking about things that didn't matter at the moment. What mattered at the moment was the meeting coming up in about fifteen minutes.
I sat behind the desk and rested my head in my hands. The meeting. That meant that Rain and Junki would be coming soon. Signing again, I was startled when the door to the office opened.
Expecting Yunho, I tensed up until I see Junsu come in.
"Hey Junsu." I said to the other vampire, relaxing.
Junsu smiled and walked over to the couch, taking a seat. "So? Did you have a good time tonight?" He smirked when I glanced over to him.
"Did you?" I asked a half smile forming on my mouth.
"Whatʼs that supposed to mean?" Junsu muttered, his face going red.
I laughed at his acting, "Don't act all innocent. Did your werewolf fuck you tonight?" I watched in amusement as his face turned redder. I narrowed my eyes as he started to fidget. "What? You guys didn't do anything?"
"What makes you so certain that he topped?"
I tilted my head to the side. My eyes widen and I started laughing, "You mean to tell me that you fucked that werewolf? That big manly looking wolf? You?"
"Why do you laugh? It's the same as you topping all those guys. And what about now? I know that Yunho doesn't let you top. So you are the one to laugh."
I stopped laughing and looked at Junsu. "Yunho." I said his name in a low voice.
Junsu stood and walked to the edge of the desk, "What? What's happened? I saw him driving your motorcycle tonight. You never let anyone drive it. What's going on with you guys?"
I shook my head and closed my eyes, rubbing my temples, "He knows, Junsu." I muttered to him.
"He knows? What does he know?" Junsu looked worried as I failed to answer right away.
I leaned my head back and looked at the ceiling, "Everything. He knows everything. He knows about his parents. He knows about the lifemate bond between us. He knows every little thing that was on my mind at the time. He wasn't going to kill me. He was just waiting for me to tell him the truth. To tell him what really happened that night. He knows about us being joined together by fate.
He knows how much I need him with me. He knows that when he's not near me, or gone for to long that I suffer from pain. He knows that I crave his touch. He knows everything." I groaned out as I dropped my head to the desk and softly hit my forehead on the wooden surface.
I glanced back up, "What am I going to do Junsu?" I rose up from the chair and walked to the middle of the room. "It's not like he loves me or anything of that nature. He's just satisfying my urges for now. What am I going to do when he gets tired of me?" I glanced at the wall. The main floor to the club was on the other side. The side which Yunho was on.
Junsu looked at me with a confused face, "I thought that went both ways when the lifemate was found. I thought the one partner was just as addicted as the other to each other. From what I 'v heard, lifemates cannot live without each other. They have to be in the same vicinity of each other. I had always heard that the same symptoms go both ways. That both mates feel pain when parted for to long, that both the mates have to have each other, sexually, mentally and physically, and both mates need comfort from each other. Not just one has all the symptoms."
I nodded. It was the same thing I had heard time and time again. "You may be right. He is always more than willing to warm the sheets with me. But still it says nothing about love." I bit my lower lip as I said this to Junsu, thinking that the younger vampire would ridicule me for my stupidity for falling for my enemy. Instead I heard a small giggle.
I looked up to see Junsu holding his mouth with his hand. When he saw me looking, he broke out in peals of laughter.
"I can't believe you fell for the werewolf! You fell in love with Yunho. Oh, this is great." I pouted at Junsu until he calmed down enough to talk to me.
"So what are you going to do about it?" Junsu asked as he strolled back over to the couch taking a seat.
"I don't know. Wait. There's not a lot that I can do about it. I need him. I know this. But, I can't make him stay with me. Can I." I signed in defeat. I felt like I had lost Yunho before I even got started trying for him." I turned to face the other vampire.
Junsu shook his head, "No, you haven't lost yet. You haven't given him enough time to come to terms with all this. The man just found
out tonight that he's a lifemate with a vampire. His natural born enemy."
"Yes, he's my natural enemy. We shouldn't even think about being together. What am I thinking." I moved over to the desk and trailed a finger over its surface."
"Well, he maybe your natural enemy, but love knows no bounds, Jaejoong. If you love him then don't let go." I thought about what Junsu said. He's right. I want Yunho and will do what I have to get him. Junsu moved to stand up when the door opened and in swept Rain and Junki with the other vampires and werewolves.
The room crowded and I suggested that we move to the clubs main floor for more space. Taking notice that Yunho stayed away from me. My brows furrowed. Whatʼs going on with Yunho? Why is he avoiding me? I moved over to him, and he moved over towards the bar where Kibum and Changmin where sitting, talking silently among themselves. I frowned. Well. I didn't know what to think. Was he freaking out about what I had told him? About what he found out? I didn't have time to think much on this. At that moment the door to the club opened to reveal four very different looking people. Four very beautiful people.

Nuri
I walked into the dark club knowing that tonight could be the last night on earth for me if this covenant did not accept me. I was scared. I was excited. But, mostly I was worried. Something told me that Asenath and Jabari had already fled the country, back to Egypt.
I came to a stop in the middle of the spacious room with the other three vampires falling in behind me. There before me was the most beautiful vampire I had ever seen. I gaped. His beauty was far greater than Asenaths. His pale skin and blonde hair made him look fierce. His big eyes made his look innocent. But, if it's one thing that I know about vampires, It's that none of them are innocent. In some way or another we all have been tainted.
My eyes roamed the room. My God! They were all beauties. Every single last one of them. Then I notice something a little ...off. I watched as the vampires and the werewolves looked at each other. Almost as if they where warning each other. About what, I didn't know. I turned and looked at Asar, Aloli, and Hasani. We haven't moved since coming in the club. We wanted to be welcomed by them, not be in fear of them.
I turned back to the front, only to see a very handsome werewolf move to stand beside the beautiful vampire. I watched as he slid his hand into the vampires and the vampire turned to smile up at him.
My mouth dropped open. I think I know what was off in here. Before I could say anything I heard, "Oh my god they're gay!" Being said in shock from behind me.
