"I know," Namjoon nearly growled. It was probably mountain sickness. He needed to take him back down the mountain as soon as possible.

"What are we going to do?" Jin asked clenching his fists together. He thought about it quickly. The mountain was not super high elevation and he was sure that the rest of them could do it if they took their time, but he needed to get Tae down and would probably walk around the mountain or find a lower level to travel.

"You guys keep going, take your time because I'm going to take Tae around the mountain and meet you guys on the other side," Namjoon said grabbing a loose fur and scenting it quickly handing it to Jungkook who was more dependent on his scent and grabbed a larger fur and wrapping Tae in it.

"Joon," Jin gasped as he heard what he was saying. "It will be easier for you guys to go on the trail with the wagon, don't argue," Namjoon said pressing a kiss to the jaguar's mouth.

Jin nodded watching Jin kiss each of their mates before standing up with Tae and getting out of the vines. "I love all of you," Namjoon called before his footsteps lead him away from them.

The rest of them stayed there Hoseok pulled Jungkook to his lap as he was already clutching the fur against his chest tightly.

Jin sighed laying down on his back looking up at the canopy of leaves. He hated being separated. Jimin slowly crawled to his side trembling and laid his head on his chest. He threw an arm around him and pulled him closer.

"Are you alright? Tae will be okay," he reassured him because he knew Namjoon would keep all of them safe.

"I know he will be fine, I'm still worried...and my muscles hurt," he said softly his body going limp on him.

Jin reached a hand down and gently started to massage his sore leg and removed it when he flinched. "Just sleep it off, baby," he said kissing his forehead. Yoongi came to his other side pulling furs over all of the mates and setting himself in the middle.

Jin kissed his mouth before they all began to relax.

Namjoon had walked out of the vines after his goodbyes and started a quick pace down the mountain. He doubted Tae could hang onto his furs so he gently sat him down and shifted before carefully picking him up in his mouth.

Taehyung opened his eyes a bit seeing Namjoon's snout hovering over him and picking him up before he started running quickly. He let himself be limp as he felt himself being carried back down the mountain. He barely registered he was leaving his mates.

Soon he felt sick from all of the bumps and threw up to the side. He heard the wolf growl lowly while he cried and dry heaved a few times.

He felt awful as he was carried down the mountain faster than when he went up and soon he could physically tell he was getting more oxygen. He took in big mouthfuls while feeling the wolf's sharp teeth cradle him gently.

Namjoon felt the vomit hit the front of his chest and growled lowly looking down at the human in his snout out of concern. He felt his own heart-shattering at the broken sick image Tae had.

When they reached the base of the mountain it was well into the night and they were miles away from their mates. He felt a heavy feeling in his heart as he set the human down by the river and jumped in washing the vomit off.

He shifted as he was stepping out and walked to the bundle of furs. Tae was deeply asleep, but he could see that he was breathing evenly now. He picked him up against his damp chest looking around the dark forest.

He walked them to a large tree that was surrounded by bushes. He carefully sat down leaning against the tree the bark scratching his back. He wrapped his arms around the human and listened to his soft breaths as he slowly closed his eyes in a dozing sleep.

Jin woke up first stepping out of the vines and walked a few paces away to relieve himself. He jumped a bit when he felt warm hands reach around him in a tight hug. He looked under his arm seeing Jungkook's fluffy tail.

He turned around and hugged the squirrel good morning. He tilted his head and gave him a soft kiss. Jungkook kissed back, but wanted more. Jin steadied the eager squirrel by his waist and sniffed the air. He didn't start his heat yet.

He felt down the younger's back to the bottom of his thighs feeling the slick that had slowly spilled from his hole. Jin grunted a bit and pulled back raising his eyebrow at Jungkook, he was always needy being the youngest one of them.

Jin sighed softly giving him a soft smile when Kookie's face flushed red. It was too early for Jin so he kneeled on the ground kissing the softness between his hip and erection. The squirrel shuddered and got on the ground as well turning around already too eager for teasing.

Needless to say, Jin carried Jungkook to the rest of their mates. Yoongi was the last to get up and slowly helped load the wagon. The squirrel complained when he had to walk by himself and it was plainly obvious what had happened with Jin's claw marks where he held him and the redness on the back of his neck and shoulders where Jin had licked and sucked too hard.

When they got ready to leave Jin was on one side while Hoseok and Yoongi were on the other pulling on the wagon straps starting the wagon off slowly before they picked up a steady pace.

Jimin walked behind them with Jungkook who kept complaining, but somehow managed to get aroused again and was ignoring it despite the fact that he was naked. Jimin rolled his eyes and followed closely behind draped in furs and holding a tiny barrel.

Taehyung woke up and blinked rapidly. His heart accelerated before he saw Namjoon sleeping above him. The bright sunlight leaking in through the trees blinding him.

He gently poked Namjoon's cheek while trying to wiggle out of the furs that were wrapped around him too tightly. The wolf growled lightly opening his eyes and sighing seeing Tae awake and moving.

"How are you feeling?" he asked softly helping him with the furs and then having him straddle his thighs.

"Like shit," the human grumbled, "but a lot better than yesterday," he said laying his head down on Joon's warm chest. Namjoon rubbed comforting circles on his back and kissed the top of his head. Tae was alright and all he had to worry about was meeting up with the others across the mountain ridge.
