CHAPTER EIGHT: UGLY DUCKLING

Pairing: Bang Chan x Afab! Reader

Theme: Fluff, Smut, Angst, Fantasy AU, Werewolf!Chan, MDNI

Word Count: 1.6K

Summary: Long before you were born the war between the ever knew the true cause of it, but humans were forbidden to ever enter the woods that bordered their lands. But you were never one to follow laws, you had always felt drawn to the beauty of the woods and never have you once felt in danger there. One day you come across a large black wolf watching you in the distance. It never approached you, but it watched you as you would lay against a tree in the sunlight and read your favorite books. From that moment on you would always see it, watching you. You felt as if it was protecting you. You would smile at it and never dare go near it. Little did you know, that the wolf who watched you carefully, was not just any wolf, but also a man, the man they called the wolf king.

TRIGGER WARNING: THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS MENTIONS OF SA

You were such an ugly duckling when you were younger, but your personality and strength was something San had always found intriguing. It started the day you stopped his father from killing a bunch of werewolf pups. You stood your ground, only at the age of ten. You showed no fear as the pups cowered behind you. That is when she had caught his attention. He would tease you, call you names, just like everyone else did, because you were compassionate towards the creatures. But he would constantly do that just to get a rise out of you, there was something cute and enticing when you flared your nostrils and glared at them for teasing you.

But as you got older, you became a beautiful swan. Flawless and perfect and every time he saw you his heart would stop. He would make up any excuse to be near you, using the facade to tease and bully you. But unlike when you were younger you learned how to be composed and not react to him. It only made him want her more. He knew that he wasn’t the only one who had eyes on you, his friends would gladly make a wife of you one day even if you did care and wanted to protect supernatural creatures. He couldn’t let that happen, no, you needed to be his, only his.

He eventually put aside his bullying demeanor and tried to show you a more softer side of him, which truly took you by surprise. But still you would keep your distance from him and close yourself off to his advances which frustrated him to no end. San also did his best to please and treat your father with respect in hopes to win him over. Because in the end, he would do anything to make sure you’d become his and no one else’s. When Wooyoung asked you for your hand in marriage, it gave San great pleasure to watch you turn him down almost immediately with no guilt.

That’s when he went to his father and told him that he wanted you as his wife. His father said he would make sure that it would happen and it pleased him to no end. But when his father came back and told him that not only you but your father had turned the marriage down, he was enraged. Why? Why would you say no to him? Out of all the men here, he was the best choice for you, he would treat you like the goddess you are. The next day he cornered you in the stables and pressed you against the wall, his hand gently cupped your cheek and made you look at him.

“Why?” San asked in urgency. “You know you have to marry at some point, why not me?” Your eyes were void of any emotion as you gently removed his hand from your cheek.

“I’d rather die alone.” You responded. “I don’t plan on marrying anyone, especially you San. How could you expect me to marry you after how you’ve treated me all my life?” You used all your strength to push him away from you as he stared at you with shocked eyes. “There are plenty of women who throw themselves at your feet. Go marry one of them.” You hissed and as you tried to leave San pulled you back and pressed you against the wall. His lips pressed against yours and you gasped as you tried to push him off. His lips moved to your neck and nipped at your skin. You slapped his back as you felt him chuckle against your skin.

"I can make you mine, right now. Take you in the hay right here." He growled softly as he sucked on your skin. You whimpered in response as you tried to get out of his grip. "I want to so badly, I want to make you mine, to love you. Let me, let me love you y/n." He whispered as his hand slid under your dress and up your thigh. You didn't want this, you didn't want him. You took this opportunity to knee him in the groin and when he cried out and fell in front of you, you stood above him in anger.

"You fucking bastard." You choked out. "You think you can force me to be yours?" You hissed as tears flew down your cheeks. "The next time you dare touch me, I swear to god you will lose your hands." You rushed out of the stable and that was the last time he had seen you.

When the announcement came that you had been chosen to marry the wolf king, San had destroyed almost everything in his home. He knew that he couldn’t go against the king's order and neither could you. But he would die before he’d see you in another man’s arms. It took him a while to find you, find the castle where you had been moved to. But when he saw you, beneath him, giving him your innocence, it took all of his strength to stop himself from storming over and killing him as he laid on top of you.

How? How could you so eagerly give yourself to him? In such an open place? How could you loudly cry his name? How could you say you love him? Him? He was nothing compared to San. A small pathetic excuse of a man. The only difference was that he wasn’t human and because of that he had a significant advantage. Killing him and taking you now would be a stupid idea. His minions would be on you both in seconds, and he would lose you once again and be killed before he could even have you.

No he had to think this through. That’s when he had the plan to use her father to his leverage. His plan would have worked if that younger brat didn’t push the bastard out of the way. He would have been dead and you would have been his.

“God damn it!” San screamed as he crashed a chair against the wall. His friends, who had been there with him for the attack flinched. Wooyoung gently gripped his shoulder in hopes to calm him.

“We knew this wasn’t going to be easy.” Wooyoung said quietly. “Especially now that we overheard what was discussed. San, she’s a witch. She’s one of them.” San growled in response.

“I don’t care.” He spat. “I don’t care if she’s a witch, if she’s one of them. I have wanted her my entire life and when she’s back here no one will tell a soul about it. She’s human, she’s always been human!”

“I don’t understand how you could still want her after she so willingly has given herself not only to the King, but to his men.” Mingi said and looked at him. “She’s nothing but used goods now.” San gave him a warning glare and he raised his hands up in defense. “All I’m saying is I wouldn’t be so forgiving.”

“Let’s just focus on getting her back here and back to him. Insulting her is only going to anger San further.” Hongjoong said quietly. “We are lucky we all made it back alive, they were too worried about that Hyunjin guy to even bother hunting us down.” The men nodded silently in agreement. San sighed and picked up the chair he threw and sat down on it.

“If they were just normal men, she’d already be here in my arms.” San growled out. “But it had to be the king of the fucking wolves, out of all people.”

“The pack members are each other’s weakness and hers. We could use that to our advantage. Get one of them, poison them with enough wolfbane to weaken them but not kill them. Use them as leverage, I’m sure she will come willingly.” Seonghwa said quietly. “You said she has a great fondness for the other two that were with her and the king. Out of the two, which one did she seem to care for most?” San smirked and looked over to him.

“His name is Changbin, and I know for a fact she loves him almost as much as she does that bastard king. Take him? She’d do anything to make sure he returns unharmed.”

Yeosang watched them all warily from the corner as they conjured up their new plan. He and Yunho both exchanged glances in worry. Both of them cared for y/n. They never treated her differently than anyone else, never bullied her. But they weren’t exactly friends with her either, though they had always wanted to be. They didn’t want to see her get hurt, but they knew better than to show San they were against him. He was unhinged, there was no chance knowing what he would do if they spoke against him. They just hoped that the King would protect you, and that you’d never have to end up in San’s arms. Because once San did have you, they were scared of what he would do.

While all that was happening you were laying in Chan's arms, he hadn't left your side since you had woken up. He was terrified of losing you, terrified of San getting his hands on you. He knew the man was something to take seriously, after almost killing Hyunjin. He tripled the guards on the castle since then. He was going to do whatever he could to protect you.

You were also scared, you were so scared of losing Chan, of losing any of them. You were also thinking of something, something that would keep all of them safe forever. Something that Chan and the men would never allow. But as soon as Chan fell asleep you pressed your lips to his forehead and slid quietly out of bed. You took one last look at him, as tears slipped down your cheeks. You put on a cloak and shoes before setting eight letters on the table beside him. Eight letters, for eight good-byes.

Yes, you were going to leave. You were going to give yourself over to San. It was the only way you knew, that they would all truly be safe. You loved them all so much that you were willing to sacrifice your freedom and love in order to protect them. You were willing to sacrifice it all.

"Goodbye my King." You whispered quietly. "I will love you til my dying breath." You turned from him as you did your best to contain your cries and slipped out of the castle and into the woods. You would not let anyone else get hurt because of you. Never again.

SAS: Red Notice now on the STARZ App known as SAS: Rise of the Black Swan is a 2021 British action thriller film directed by Magnus Martens and based on the novel SAS: Red Notice by former British soldier Andy McNab. SAS (Special Air Service, essentially the British Army's counterterrorism). SAS: Red Notice is a version of Die Hard in a train tunnel. It follows the basic premise of a man with certain skills being in the middle of a terrorist attack. Some critics in the UK 🇬🇧 were not delighted with the SAS: Red Notice film.

Tom Buckingham: The fictional character (SH), a high-functioning psychopath, making him a highly skilled soldier (in the book), but Sam's performance in the film as an ex-SAS officer is unlikely, He just isn't handled well enough and SH is quite dull in his performance at the film and doesn't do a good job of making you care about him. With inept action scenes, the film does Heughan no favours. He should continue with Outlander.

youtube

SAS: Red Notice was the kind of film that failed as an action experience, which was the least it could do. If you've already read the book, do yourself a favour and read it again. SAS: Red Notice is a very forgettable and pretty poor film.

#SASRedNotice #STARZ

@alpsandalpsandalps The film SAS: Red Notice, received some of the worst reviews in the UK 🇬🇧 that it’s important because the film is British and they agree he is not perfect for the role of Mr Bond.

@pinkblizzardgladiator SAS: Red Notice was intended to be Heughan's audition tape for James Bond. Buckingham is a well-spoken military man who is focused during a mission. Heughan considered the role because he felt handsome and fit, but his character was played as an emotionless robot. However, Bond has emotions and a sense of fun, but Buckingham lacks that. Heughan's supporting role in The Spy Who Dumped Me was a better potential Bond skills 😂

@alpsandalpsandalps Sam is bland as the action hero, making his character seem sort of fun, even if he isn’t remotely interesting. He has no skill for this type of film. The film is overlong and messy.

Hey love, it's Kinnporsche anon here!!!

First, no need to apologize for being late, it's okay!! I hope your exams doesn't take a tool on you!! (at least not too much!). How did it goes??

Yeah, I saw for the world tour!! I wonder what they gonna do??? Like so many question here, but I'm going on with the vibe 😂 I kinda happy that the cast will see all the love and supports they receive bc of the show! (I hope they come in Europe, so they can get be near me haha). I keep wondering if we are going to get more seasons of the show? World tour is a big deal, so why do that if not to do more season?? (I really hope we do omg 😭)

I can't wait, only 2 days left ugh!!! Almost there. We almost did it. We just have to hold on a little more. I think I'm going to re-watch the forest episode, one my favorite!!!

Kimchay need to happen next episode, I wanna see Chay beeing a cutie one love!!! But I do hope he makes Kim works a little bit for his love 🤔. I will not survive Vegaspete though. The more I saw Bible and Build together, the more I find them attractive??? Their beauty really is 🔥🔥🔥

I'm also so happy to have find K-pop for the Fandom things. When 1d take their hiatus, I was feeling so empty?? It was so weird to not have a really active Fandom (I'm part of other Fandom but they are more chill). It's so good to re-experience that!!

Now my biais. In BTS, it's Taehyung. I remember being so in wow when I first discover BTS. It was during DNA Era, and Taehyung was just incredible!! I really also love his vibe. (fun fact about me, I'm born on the same day as Jin (not the same years, but I will take the same day). In txt, it's Yeonjun. The pink hair did it for me (his iconic Era). For Stray Kids, it's Hyunjin, Felix and Bang Chan. Chan is at the same level of Taehyung. Everything he does makes me love him more (like, how can you not love this man?? He is the sweetest, the kindest, respectful, grateful, and also very very beautiful??? Chan is the standart for the men, they need to keep up). And in Ateez, it's Wooyoung and Mingi (I start biais Mingi bc of their show, he is so wonderful). In SHINee, I love them all too, but I will admit I have a soft spot for Taemin and Key 🥰 I also biais Hwa Sa from Mamamoo, my wife and Jeongyeon and Momo from twice (also my wife) (also Sunoo of Enhypen has a special place in my heart, I want to protect him so much, he seems like the most adorable person. Him and Heeseung are my biais in Enhypen, but Sunoo 🥰🥰🥰🥰)

For my favorite song, it kinda change a lot?? I really depend on how I feel??

For BTS, the love yourself series will always a special place in my heart! Fake love is my queen too!! It's a iconic songs, everything is perfect!!! The whole series is immaculate!!! Now, I'm kinda Obsessed with Spine breaker!! For txt is Maze In the Mirror, without a doubt. It's the songs that make me a MOA! For Stray Kids is Blueprint and Silent Cry (Red Light has its own categories). For Ateez, Take Me home is my favorite (I'm so happy to see Ateez respecting her with all the version they gave her!!).

For SHINee, it's also View (they have such banger in their discograph!). Now Taemin. Criminal is always to be on my top. But danger, just me and you, press your number, rise, flame of love, door, advice, string, identity!!!! Artistic groove are also on my top (it's hard to not tell his while discography).

It's getting long for my list sorry 😭 I'm just excited!!!

I'm also excited for the new BTS content!!! Like I wonder what they will do with the new song?? Like Life goes on?? Or more like Black Swan?? Or on?? We are so close now!! And we have Festa coming too!!!. I'm prepared to sell my kidney to see them 😭 I don't care if I'm all the way in the back, I just want to experience them live!!!

Good luck for the rest of your exam!!! You'll do great, I'm sure of it!!!

I will see you soon!!!! 🥰 Bye bye 💜

(maybe some clue are hidden in this ask who knows haha)

Hi darling!!! hope everything is going well. I'm still with exams, and have two more next week 😭😭 but at least today is Saturday!!!! sooo finally it's KinnPorsche's day!!! 🎉🎉

I'm so excited for this episode, you can't imagine!!! I really hope we will have VegadPete today!! I can't wait for their story to really start!! and, Build and Bible are adorable!!! I read somewhere they are introverted but they are now comfortable with each other and they helped each other in the shooting process!! Love them!! Also need to watch Mile and Apo did the other day!! I saw some gifsets about it and they are the best!!! 💕 can't wait to have time and watch and read everything I want to!

I understand you about Taehyung, I mean I entered the fandom because of him haha I was enamoured with his fashion sense!! I think I saw I pic of him with those awesome shirts he used to wear a lot a few years ago and I was 'oh who is he?' also he is so handsome! so he has a special place in my heart too but when I really entered the fandom Jin was love, at first sight, haha well I love all of them so much!!

Ohh Chan is superior really haha he's so adorable and kind and a good person like really the standard!! Now that you said in Enhypen your biases are Sunno and Heesung I must say that same!! when I watched Iland they were my faves!! also, I find Niki so cute and Sunghoon so handsome!! so difficult to choose an only bias!!

I can't wait for BTS's comeback but also I really want them to not announce the world tour yet lol I need to save more money haha I hope the world tour will Europe too !!! (I love (not) how some kpop artists said world tour and they only go to the U.S and Japan haha)

Well, I have to go now! this is not as long as other answers but I'm waiting to comment on today's episode later!! 🥰️🥰️

Also, you gave some clues?? 🤔🤔 maybe it's something about your bias?? I need to look for a Taehyung or Yeonjun profile pic or something with Chan?? I'll update my board haha

Thanks for the good luck!!! See you soon!! Have a great day!! 😘😘

Mua Mua! 💜

Andy Serkis, SAS: Rise of the Black Swan (2021)

This movie is also called SAS: Red Notice (2021) on IMDb, but they changed the name last minute. I watched it purely for Andy. I put it off because the reviews were...NOT kind and military action movies aren't really my thing. But I am relieved to confirm Andy is great in it. He also plays (contain your shock) an asshole.

I took some screenshots for y'all, and I'll be trying to make some gifs later, too.

Has the author of the article ever had the feeling of not being an expert in what he does?

Cavill's youth was one of the reason he didn't get the role, but he was in the final four definition. It is not the same situation for SH, he lost nothing and less the role of this franchise. SH during the Casino Royale audition never made it to the final. Nothing is lost if you are not in the final competition contest in which the winner is decided. Heughan was not ready for the audition and much less for the role, and it was not SH's lack of notoriety that could affect the casting because that is not true, it was his lack of skills required for the role, and that has not changed.

Feeling nostalgic on the 70th anniversary of CASINO ROYALE's publication? Take a look back at Daniel Craig's casting story for the film.

In general, comparisons are inequalities, but trying to compare or justify considering Henry Cavill and Sam Heughan as models in the same situation, at Casino Royale’s audition, shows a lack of knowledge and information about James Bond’s audition.

In 2005 there were 4 finalists left to decide on James Bond 25; Daniel Craig, Henry Cavill, Sam Worthington (English-Australian) and Goran Visnjic (Croatian-American) in a hotly contested role with Craig. Henry Cavill was the preferred choice of Martin Campbell director (James Bond Golden Eye -1995 and Casino Royale -2006), but Henry was young. SH's name was not on the list, and he never reached the final, he did not pass the stages not because SH was young or insecure; he did not give examples of skills and did not have the merits to qualify, no chance. Don’t justify the unjustifiable. SH was not and is not the right one for James Bond. Simple as that!

You don't have to be an expert to understand it. Put this in your head: SH did not and does not define Ian Fleming's British spy genre. Outlander fans and SH friends want to make comparisons, but based on what's on screen with TSWDM or SAS: Rise of the Black Swan, he hasn't been able to show off his abilities. If there was one man to choose, why would it be Sam Heughan? If there are potentially as many James Bond as there are stars in the sky.

70 years ago today lan Fleming's first 007 story, Casino Royale, was published.

@pukehina I agree with you. Following the release of the acclaimed Casino Royale showed Daniel Craig was the perfect choice for a new era of Bond, not just because he looked different, but because he was given the freedom to be different with his impressive skills to cast not just a “star” but a serious actor, similar to how he’s Benoit Blanc in Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery nominated for an Oscar in Best Adapted Screenplay.
