Jongin's POV

"Did you see that, appa?!" the seven-year-old me said, hopping like a bunny into my bedroom. "My wolf was huge!! It was almost as big as yours and umma's!"

"Well, I wouldn't say you're there quite yet, but you certainly are growing up fast," my dad said as he pulled back the covers on my bed. "Are you gonna jump up or do you need a lift?"

"No, I can do it by myself! I'm a big boy now!" I replied, grinning from ear to ear. My dad just smiled and nodded in response, giving me the okay to jump. In one move, I jumped up on my bed and landed perfectly on my back, making the coils in my mattress creak from my body weight. "See! I told you I was a big boy, appa!"

"I know you did," he said cheerfully as he moved my legs and pulled the covers over my body. "I'm so proud of you, Jongin. I'll always be proud of you no matter what you do."

"Really?" I asked, my eyebrows raised a little.

"Really," he said, taking a seat on my bed.

"You promise?"

"I pinky promise." He held out his pinky and I smiled at him before locking it with mine.

"Appa?" I asked.

"Yeah?" he said.

"When will I get to see you and umma turn into wolves?"

"Soon, buddy, I promise."

"Tomorrow!" I exclaimed, throwing my hands in the air a little.

"Maybe. We'll see what's going on." He chuckled, making me smile, too. "But for now, you need to get your rest. You've had a long day." I yawned as he tucked me in and laid my little-stuffed wolf in my arms. "Good night, Jongin. Sweet dreams," he said as he kissed my forehead and got on his feet.

"Good night, appa," I said, letting out another yawn. "I love you."

"I love you, too," he said, giving me one last smile before flicking the light off and leaving my room, shutting the door behind him.

"Kai! Kai, wake up!" I was startled out of my dream when I felt my body being shook and when I heard a very muffled voice. I ignored both signs and flipped over on my side, hugging my small stuffed wolf close to my bare chest. "Kim Jongin, get your lazy ass up!"

"Do not call me that," I said, moving back onto my back to see who was bugging me. Sure enough, it was Sehun. "How many times do I have to tell you to not call me by my real name, you little brat?"

"How many times do I have to come into your smelly room and wake you up?" he retaliated, looking around my room in disgust as I groaned and sat up. "Seriously hyung, you need to clean this place up. It's disgusting, even for a werewolf."

"Whatever, you just have sensitive nose hairs," I said, stretching my arms out. "Why are in here anyway? It's too early for you to be this annoying."

"Because Joonmyun hyung woke everyone up for a pack meeting, but you didn't seem to hear," he explained.

"A pack meeting?" I questioned with knitted eyebrows. "What could he possibly have to tell us at eight o'clock in the morning?"

"I don't know." He shrugged. "It must be important though because he said it was urgent." I groaned and fell back on my bed, my hands covering my face. "Come on, let's go! I want to find out what the news is!" Sehun patted my stomach a couple times before jogging out of my room, leaving me with a slight pain on my stomach. I sat up and grabbed my stuffed wolf, looking down at it as I held it in my hands and sighed.

"Another day, appa," I said to it, rubbing my thumb against its fabric fur. "Wish me luck." I sat it on my bed before throwing on a shirt and going downstairs.

"Well, well, I see someone finally decided to get his ass out of bed," Chen commented as he saw come down the stairs.

"Shut up," I said as I yawned. I plopped on the couch, crossing my arms behind my head before turning my attention to Joonmyun hyung as he appeared in our usual meeting area: the living room.

"Thanks for waking up early for this, guys," he said as he took a seat in his chair, commencing the meeting officially. "I have some really exciting news to share with you all."

"What is it, hyung?" Sehun asked eagerly, practically sitting on the edge of his seat.

"We're moving," he announced, a faint smile on his lips.

"What?" Xiumin said in disbelief. "Why are we moving? I thought we agreed on staying here for a while."

"I know we did, but this is something Lay and I have been discussing for a few months," he said. "With the increasing amount of hunting incidents that have happened lately, we just think it's Fate's way of telling us it's time to move on. And plus, I figured it would give us a chance to try something I have also been thinking about for a while."

"What are you even talking about?" Tao asked in complete confusion. "Yah! Hyunjae-ah! How many times do I have to tell not to chew the pillow?" he shouted, his voice directed at the little pup across the room. Tao came to the pack a year or so ago after he leaving his abusive mate. Ever since then, the pack has helped him raise his four kids, the youngest being Hyunjae who still had yet to phase into his human form.

"As I was saying," Joonmyun hyung said, chuckling a little at Hyunjae as he let the pillow fall out of his mouth. "I've decided that I'm going to send Kai, Sehun, and Baekhyun to school."

"What?" Baekhyun asked, his face not looking too pleased at all.

"Oh my god!" Sehun exclaimed in excitement. "Really, hyung?!"

"Yep," he said, nodding his head. "Kai, what do you think about that?"

"I think it's stupid," I said. "I mean, Baekhyun's almost too old to go to school and Sehun is too immature, and I don't give a shit about it anymore. That doesn't seem like a very good mix of people if you ask me."

"First off, watch your mouth, please," he said, giving me one of those looks and making me roll my eyes. "Secondly, I understand you, but at the same time, I think it will be good for you to experience it."

"Okay, I'll agree to this, just as long as I don't have to go to a private school," Baekhyun said, raising his hand in the air. "I've seen the dramas. There are some serious bullies at those places and I know for a fact I wouldn't look good in a prison cell or as a rug on someone's floor.

"No, you don't have to go to a private school." Joonmyun hyung chortled, shaking his head and hands a little. "I figured that environment might be a little too uptight for you guys anyway. Instead, I enrolled you into a public high school. You'll still have to wear uniforms, though."

"This is great!" Sehun shouted, clapping his hands together. "Hyung, aren't you excited?" he asked me.

"Excited to get bossed around by a bunch of human beings with no authority besides a piece of paper with some words on it?" I said, cocking my head to the side temporarily. "No, not particularly."

"Come on, Kai, it won't be that bad," Xiumin said from next to me. "Who knows? You might even imprint on someone there."

"Ha! Me imprint on a human? That is a good joke, but Fate doesn't hate me that much," I said, shifting in my seat. "I just don't see the point in any of this. You're moving us because you want to protect us from being targets for hunters, but you're enrolling us in public school, thus making us targets? Make that make sense."

" Of course I want to protect you guys, but I also don't want you to feel sheltered," he explained. "This is a good opportunity for us, Kai and I'm sorry you aren't looking forward to it, but there's nothing you can do to stop it now. The realtor already found us a nice, big, and reserved house in the woods, and we are going to start moving in tomorrow, which only leaves everyone the rest of the day to pack up whatever you want to take."

"Tomorrow?" I said, taking my back off of the back of the couch. "You've got to be shitting me right now."

"No, Kai, I am not kidding you right now," he said, standing up and straightening out his clothes a bit. "Now all of you start packing up your rooms. The movers will be here in a few hours to load the furniture. Anyone who finishes their rooms can come help Lay and I with the other rooms." Then, Joonmyun hyung left the room, leaving me with my mouth gaping open.

"I can't believe this," I said as I got to my feet with the others, Sehun and Baekhyun coming to stand next to me. "I mean, why us?"

"Because we haven't imprinted yet, that's why," Baekhyun said in a low, whispering voice. Sehun and I looked at him and he just nodded his head, sighing heavily. "Let's not mope about it now and get packed." Sehun followed after him, heading upstairs with the rest of the pack.

I didn't know if this was part of Fate's brilliant plan for my life, but I sure as hell didn't agree with it.
