The bright morning sun touches Taehyung's face, making him stir from his sleep. The beautiful sound of the birds chirping outside calms his nerves as he slowly opens his eyes.

The blonde blinks a couple of times, letting himself be accustomed with the light coming through the open window. He shifted his body on the bed, instantly stiffening upon realizing that he's not alone on the bed.

Taehyung gasped, his wide eyes scanning the naked man beside him, from his raven hair down to his lean sexy back and even lower...

His heart beating out of his chest as soon as he recognized the man beside him.

Taehyung covered his mouth as the image of everything that happened last night came flashing in his mind, suddenly making him blush, his body feeling hot.

OH MY GOD!

Taehyung almost screeched, remembering how he was taken by the alpha a couple of times last night until he passed out. How his back arched with each mind blowing thrust that sent him into seeing stars. He can still feel his behind aching from the alpha's intense ramming, sending shivers run down his spine, cheeks tinted red.

His reminiscing was suddenly interrupted by a movement from the alpha, shifting his body on his left side, now facing him.

Taehyung takes a deep breath as he stares at the peaceful sleeping face of the alpha. He looks so soft and angelic with his eyes closed, lips a bit parted allowing himself to breathe in shallow breaths. His sleeping image is far from his cold and authoritative facade.

The blonde had the urge to touch his face and feel his warm skin against his. He wants to trace his fingers over the alpha's thick brows and his long lashes adorning his closed eyes. His fingers are itching to glide down his prominent nose down to his inviting sinful lips.

Those lips that suck him in the right places, marking him and making a mess out of him. Those lips that call him baby over and over again.

Taehyung shivered, letting himself get carried away by these urges. He lifted his left hand, aiming to caress the alpha's handsome face. His fingertips are only inches away from touching when he felt a hard grip on his wrist, stopping his hand from advancing.

The blonde gasped as the alpha slowly opened his eyes, charcoal black orbs staring intensely at him.

Taehyung felt his insides curl, awed by the deep dark color of those eyes and the mystery they held. His hazy mind going haywire as he tries to think of what to say, the alpha's grip on his wrist is clearly not helping him think, feeling his warm skin against his.

"...uhm h-hi." Taehyung dumbly mumbled, his cheeks turning red in embarrassment.

Jungkook just stared at him, face void of any emotion as he released his wrist from his grip. He quickly stood from the bed, not minding his nakedness as he reached down to get his sweatpants and wear them.

Taehyung silently watched the alpha's back, sighing at the thought of being ignored again. He mindlessly sat on the bed, instantly regretting his life decisions when he felt a stinging pain in his ass.

"O-ouch.." He whispered to himself as he slowly gets up from the bed. As soon as he sets his feet on the ground and stood, he felt a thick liquid flow down his inner thighs. He dumbly looked down, only to realize what that thing was. He blushed as he limps his way to the bathroom, wincing in pain with every step.

Taehyung hasn't taken much steps when he yelped as he felt strong arms suddenly lift him up, bridal style.

"OH MY!!" He gasped, feet no longer touching the ground.

Panicking at the sudden move, Taehyung quickly wraps his arms around the alpha's neck, supporting himself.

With a confused look on his face, Taehyung glanced over Jungkook's emotionless one. He's carrying him toward the bathroom, making him blush in indescribable happiness.

The blonde silently stared at the alpha's face, only a few inches away from him. He subconsciously rested his head on the base of Jungkook's neck, inhaling his addicting masculine scent with a touch of strawberry and vanilla.

He doesn't want to assume, but Jungkook seems to be softening a little towards him. Though he doesn't show it in his face or say in words, Taehyung can feel him slowly becoming kind to him. He can't help but smile at the thought.

Jungkook carries him inside the bathroom, stopping only an inches away from the tub.

Taehyung waited for the alpha to put him down, but was shocked when Jungkook still held him in his arms with his right hand, while he opens the faucet with his left, filling the tub with lukewarm water.

Once the tub is filled, Jungkook carefully puts him down and as soon as the water touches Taehyung's ass, he winced at the seering pain, almost making him groan. He bit his lower lip, waiting for the pain to slowly subside.

In his peripheral vision, he saw Jungkook walk out of the bathroom, closing the door behind. Taehyung instantly released his breath he doesn't even know he's holding. He clutched his pounding heart, afraid that it may fall out of his chest.

The blonde can't explain the happiness he's feeling at the moment. He's so happy to the point that it made him afraid.

Afraid that his happiness won't last long.

He sighed, slapping his face to get rid of the negative thoughts. He should focus on the now and not on the future which held uncertainties.

Right now, he's happy and that's what matters the most.

Taehyung proceeds to wash his body, feeling all too giddy inside as he hums a song in his mind. He was busy playing with the bubbles in his hands when he heard the clicking of the bathroom door.

The blonde quickly turned his gaze on the door, only to see Baekhyun peeking his head.

"Hey, Taetae. Can I come in?" Baekhyun smiled fondly at him.

Taehyung nodded his head, smiling in return. "Do you need anything, hyung?" He asked, hands still busy playing with the bubbles.

Baekhyun walked closer to him with a towel in hand. "No. I'm just here to help you out." He said, placing the towel on top of the small cabinet next to the sink.

The blonde giggled. "I'm not a child anymore hyung. I can wash myself on my own."

"I wish I could say that to the alpha." Baekhyun said, sitting on the bathroom floor next to the tub.

Taehyung knotted his forehead at this. "What do you mean, hyung?" He asked, confused at the sudden mention of the alpha.

Baekhyun smiled knowingly. "The alpha asked me to come help you out. Now that I see you, I can tell why he asked me to." His eyes settles on the scars and love bites decorating his neck, chest and forearms. "Did he give you a hard time last night?"

Taehyung blushed at this, embarrassed at the way Baekhyun smiles knowingly at him.

His reaction made Baekhyun chuckle, the answer to his question clearly written on the blonde's now reddened face.

"No need to be shy. I know it hurts like hell the first time." Baekhyun winks at him, plastering a naughty smile that has Taehyung turning redder, if that is even possible.

"Yah! Stop it, hyung." Taehyung covered his face with his hands, too embarrassed to face the older.

Baekhyun laughs heartily. "Okay.. Okay. I won't tease you anymore." he went near the blonde and caressed his head. "Finish that up and go out. I brought your breakfast."

Taehyung nodded his head, pouting cutely as Baekhyun makes his way out of the bathroom, still grinning from ear to ear.

"Oh by the way, I forgot." Baekhyun turned around with a serious face.

"What is it, hyung?" Taehyung asked, stopping his hands from scrubbing his arm.

"Was it good?" Baekhyun wiggles his brows, teasingly smiling at the younger who's face became as red as a tomato.

"Baekhyunieee! ~"

The older's laugh resonate in the bathroom as he turns around finally leaving Taehyung alone with his face as hot as the morning sun.

-----

Taehyung went out to the garden, finding Jimin playing with Yeontan. He approached the two with a bright smile.

"Jiminie-hyung." He called out, sitting next to Jimin on the grass field.

"Hey, baby." Jimin ruffles his hair as if he's a little child.

"Hyung~" Taehyung pouted cutely, arranging his dishevelled hair.

Jimin suddenly stops, noticing his cuts and bruises. "Hey, what happened to those?" he carefully held Taehyung by his neck, eyes scanning the small cuts and bruises.

Taehyung blushed, covering his neck with his hands. "N-nothing." He mumbles, cheeks burning hot.

Jimin seriously stared at him with a concerned look and after a while he asked, "Did Jungkook hurt you?"

The blonde flinched, feeling uncomfortable at the older's scrutinizing eyes.

"N-no." He mumbles, getting Yeontan on his lap to distract him. He hopes Jimin would just drop the subject.

Taehyung doesn't want to tell everyone who sees his wounds that he's been fucked so good by the alpha last night.

He felt his cheeks burn at the thought as he buries his head on Yeontan's cute little tummy, peppering the child with kisses.

Yeontan shrieked, his adorable giggles mixing with the sound of the waterfalls nearby.

Jimin sighed as he stares at the blonde. "Tell me if he's hurting you, Tae. I won't hesitate to come for you if that happens."

Taehyung smiled at him. "He's not hurting me, hyung. He's been... kinder, I guess?" He shrugs his shoulders, uncertain of what he has said.

"Are you sure?" Jimin asked once more.

The blonde just nods his head. He was suddenly dragged by Yeontan, urging him to stand.

"What is it, baby?" Taehyung asked, allowing the child to hold his hand.

"falls.." Yeontan mumbles, giddily jumping up and down in excitement.

"Oh...you wanna go see the falls?" Taehyung smiled widely when the little boy started bopping his head in a cute manner that has him cooing at the sight.

Taehyung lifted the little boy in his arms, carrying him around. "Okay, let's go." He kissed Yeontan's chubby cheeks, making the latter giggle.

Jimin also stood. "I'm coming with you." he walked alongside Taehyung with Yeontan still giggling.

They haven't gone that far when Hoseok came rushing to them.

"Jimin, we need you inside the throne room. The alpha wants us all there." He said, barely looking at Taehyung.

"Why?" Jimin inquired.

Hoseok glanced over Taehyung for a while before saying, "There seems to be a serious matter he needs to discuss with us."

Jimin nodded his head. He apologetically looks at Taehyung. "Sorry, maybe we should go there some other time." he suggested, but the blonde is quick to shake his head.

"No. It's fine, hyung. I'll just go there with this little guy." Taehyung nips Yeontan's cheeks.

"Are you sure?" Jimin is hesitating to leave him alone.

"Yes, hyung. What could possibly happen?" Taehyung jokingly said, pushing Jimin a little. "Go, now."

Jimin sighed in defeat. "Just don't go too far, okay?"

Taehyung smiled, waving his hand as he walks toward the direction of the waterfalls with Yeontan all hyped up in his arms.

The path going to the falls was relaxing, with lots of wild flowers blooming around and the melodious singing of the birds echoing in the forest.

Taehyung was beyond awed by the beauty that lies in front of him. Huge tall trees surround an enchanting body of water, flowing down from the heights. The water seems to be gleaming, reflecting the lights coming from the aperture.

Yeontan wriggles out of his grasp, wanting to walk on his own. Taehyung smiled, letting the child do so. He saw Yeontan jump up and down in delight, dipping his little hands on the water.

Taehyung watched the little boy as he sits on a huge rock nearby. His eyes settles on the beautiful, almost work of art scenery in front him.

Jungkook stood in his throne as he informs everyone of the news that reached his ear.

"I've been asked by the council to see them. I believe it's got something to do with the fuckers." he gritted his teeth in annoyance.

"So, the rats are causing another problem." Jackson grins.

The alpha was about to speak when all too suddenly the hall fell in a deep silence, with all of them darting their eyes outside.

They feel it.

A strong presence invading their territory.

And as if on cue, the door came bursting open, revealing one of Jungkook's men.

"Alpha! The rogues!" He shouted in horror.

Jungkook and his men quickly dashed toward the man.

"Where are they?" Jungkook asked, voice dropping an octave deeper.

The man panicked, pointing out on the direction. "They've been sighted, north-east."

The alpha nodded his head, eyes motioning his men to move out. He saw Jimin's eyes grew large.

"Fuck!" Jimin mumbled, eyes changing to deep red with his fangs protruded. He looked at the alpha and said the words that make the alpha's heart pound in his chest.

"Taehyung is there. Fuck! He's there with Yeontan!"

Jungkook felt his vision turn red as he quickly transformed into a huge black wolf with eyes blazing with fire.

His men felt shivers run down their spine, hearing the alpha howl almost shaking the ground. They immediately transformed into their wolf form, dashing toward the direction where the intruders are.

Their footsteps are heavy, as they near the area where the presence is getting stronger.

Jungkook saw Taehyung sitting on a rock, still oblivious of what's happening. As the alpha nears him, he saw two black wolves rushing toward the blonde, aiming to attack from behind.

The alpha felt his body boil as he speeds up, preventing the two wolves from getting nearer to the blonde. He growls, making Taehyung flinch and turn his head around. He saw the blonde's eyes grew wide gawking at the incoming wolves.

Taehyung gasped, closing his eyes shut when he saw Jungkook leaping over him with his sharp fangs out. He screeched, hearing growls and howls near him.

His body shakes in fear as he remembers Yeontan. He immediately opened his eyes only to see Jungkook standing defensively in front of him with five more other wolves, protecting him from three black wolves. He shivers at the intensity of the alpha's presence with his red eyes blazing and fangs ready to tear the enemies' flesh.

Taehyung held his breath seeing the alpha attack. He saw him leap and hover on top of the smaller wolf, as the others do the same, tearing each other's flesh.

The blonde shivers at the intensity of the cries he heard, not sure whether from the enemies or not. He tried focusing on finding Yeontan, who's still playing with the water.

Taehyung felt relieved as he quickly walks to fetch the child. However, he was a few steps away from the little boy when he saw another wolf come out of the bush, aiming to attack the little boy.

The blonde felt his body shiver, his adrenaline acting up. He quickly hovers on top of the boy, protecting the child from the wolf.

Taehyung yelped in pain, feeling the wolf's sharp fangs delve in his right arm, tugging on his flesh. The pain is unbearable, almost making him faint. His vision starts to get blurry as he feels something stirring inside of him, overcoming his consciousness. He felt himself getting dragged in a deep dark hole, making him close his eyes.

He doesn't know what's happening. He's unaware that when he opened his eyes, they are no longer brown, but deep purple.

Taehyung pushed the wolf with his hand with the remaining strength that's left of him before collapsing on top of the little boy who starts crying.

He didn't see how the wolf's body came crashing down meters away from him, body landing on a huge tree.

Taehyung didn't see it, but Yoongi does.

Yoongi saw everything. He saw how the blonde's eyes turned to purple and how he tossed a huge wolf with only one hand. He felt his body stiffen at this, unable to process what he saw. He wasn't able to think clearly when the wolf starts to attack Taehyung again.

Yoongi quickly runs to protect Taehyung, leaping over the attacking wolf. The two rolled over the ground as both of them try to sink their fangs to each other, aiming to tear each other's flesh.

It was a bloodbath.

Jungkook, Hoseok and Jimin were able to kill the three wolves, chopping off their limbs and heads with their fangs. They quickly went to help Yoongi when they see him struggling.

Jungkook transformed into his human form, rushing over Taehyung who's unconscious. He held the blonde on his chest, carrying him with the crying little boy.

He turned his gaze toward his men who were able to cage the last wolf.

"Don't kill that fucker. We need information from him." He said, quickly transforming back to his wolf form with the blonde and the child on his back as he rushed back in the castle.

His heart is beating fast, almost pounding out of his chest as he saw blood trickle down the blonde's arm.

Jungkook feels suffocated, like something is clenching his heart with the thought of Taehyung getting badly hurt because of him.

He felt so afraid.

And right there and then, Jungkook knew that he doesn't want to lose Taehyung.
