~~18~~

Everything was spinning.

But that wasn't even the worst thing...

It was the pain that shot through his veins every single second of the day.

He needed to slam the fire... He needed it... He needed more.

Seoho scented the air, looking for any sign of what he was looking for.

One specific plant that could cure all his problems.

The omega stumbled forward, his limbs felt like he had no true control over them. They were heavy and numb.

And his stomach... It felt like hunger was ripping it to shreds, but he also felt like he could fall over and just start puking any time now.

There had to be something around here that he could use...

In his desperation, Seoho fell to his hands and knees and started pulling at all the foliage around him. He ripped anything he could from the ground and held it to his nose to see if it was what he needed.

Tears started to roll down his cheeks when he kept coming up short.

The ground started to sway around him and soon the omega was pulling himself forward by gripping the dirt and dragging his body.

A howl came from behind him and Seoho's head rolled to the side when he tried to figure out where it was coming from.

He felt something stir within him and knew his wolf was trying to come forward. That was the last thing he needed right now because then he'd definitely have no control.

A high pitched sound between a groan and a whine escaped him as he continued to drag his body through the now muddy ground. He must be getting close to the river...

And as if to answer that question, Seoho slipped down a hill, rolling through the mud and yelping when his side came in contact with a large rock. Within seconds he fell into the cold water and started flailing his weak arms to stay above the surface.

Water forced it's way into he lungs and the omega started to cough, but that only caused him to swallow more water.

He needed help.

Seoho's vision started to blur and everything started to numb in a different way. The water pushed him back and forth, slamming him into rocks and rolling him head over heels.

In a desperate way to save himself, Seoho let himself succumb to his wolf.

It surged forward and he broke the surface of the water. His tan paws scrambled to find footing in rocky river bed. His legs were long enough that he was able to push himself up out of the water and walk slowly to shore.

This was the first time he had been in this form in... he couldn't remember how long. It felt foreign, but so familiar at the same time. Almost like he was being welcomed home.

His water-soaked fur weighed heavily on him. Once he was back on shore, he shook it out, sending water droplets in all directions. Then he scrunched his nose at the sour apple smell coming from him.

Disappointment from his wolf made Seoho lower his head.

This was the other reason why it had been so long... His wolf destroyed all the progress and work needed in order for him to stay numb. That's all he wanted now. He wanted to forget about everything and just...

A branch snapped nearby and Seoho lifted his head back up.

An alpha emerged from the shadows. The wolf's coat was similar to his own. Both of them had tan legs, chests, and stomachs, but the alpha had more black along his back, making it darker than Seoho's own brown and light brown coloring.
