"Bunny!" Aera called, running after her best buddy who ran faster on hearing the girl toddle behind, attempting to catch it's tail which always looked fascinating to the three year-old. Soft, brown and twisted in a question mark shape whenever he sat quietly, holding a nut in his tiny hands and nibbled on it precisely.

"It's not a bunny, Aera." Taehyung chuckled, crouching down near the tree where Mr. Squirrel just ran up to, and extended his hand out waiting for the little furry creature to come.

"Bunny" Aera shook her head, running up to him and standing in his embrace as he wrapped his one arm around her smaller body, and gestured towards the squirrel, "Bunny, my friend le's play."

"It's a squirrel, baby."

"His name is Bunny." The girl said, sitting on the bare ground, taking the nut from Mr. Squirrel and almost putting it in her mouth, probably wanting to know what her best friend's favourite food tasted like.

"No Aera," Taehyung stopped her in time, unclenching her fingers and took the nut, placing it in front of Mr. Squirrel who seemingly shook his head, sighing at the kid and climbed up the tree as if telling Taehyung that it's fine and he's used to Aera snatching his nuts.

"You got a good friend." Taehyung laughed earning a faint squeak of agreement from Mr. Squirrel.

They heard a growl, making Taehyung sigh as he turned around and a white coated wolf jumps out from the bush nearby, eyes fixed on the male, grunting a hiss as he pounced forward attempting to scare him. But soon stopped, noticing that it wasn't having much effect, not even on the kid who just laughed and clapped her hands cheering for her brother.

"Why do you even try this?" Taehyung scoffed, pushing the wolf's face away, making his blue eyes cower down for a second before looking up with another wave of mischief washing over. "Go away Jungkook, you're not looking scary."

The wolf shook his head, using his paw to remove the butterfly that just sat on his nose and jumped back, growling at the insect who now caught Aera's attention. The girl cackled happily, running behind the new presence and chasing it until it was high enough in the air, making her pout and turn to Jungkook, hand pointing at the purple butterfly that flew away.

Jungkook stepped forward, licking the toddler fondly making her giggle and grab his fur, "Koo" She mumbled, laughing as Jungkook continued licking her clean. She looked up at his face, sticking her tongue out and licked his fur in return, however ended up making a weird face at the taste of his white fur instead of his smooth and soft cheek that he has in the human form.

Taehyung laughed from behind and stood up, carrying the girl in his arms as Jungkook raised his head still occasionally licking Aera's hand. Taehyung petted his head and gestured for him to come inside as the sun was almost down now.

"Me sittin' on Koo's back." Aera said, leaning down from Taehyung's arms, earning a chuckle.

"Jungkook-ah wait," Taehyung called and sat Aera on his back.

Jungkook looked back, seeing the girl smiling widely at him, she shifted forward until being right on his shoulder bone, and hugged his neck tightly, hoping he'd run now. Taehyung shook his head, patting Jungkook's back as he jogged towards the house, giving a signal to the wolf to run and race him to the living room.

Jungkook growled playfully, running towards the house which was barely twenty meters away from the garden, only for Aera. The girl laughed, holding onto her brother running in a much slower pace than his actual capability just so the toddler doesn't fall down.

"Yah! I've told you guys so many times not to run inside the house!" The eldest groaned, hands on his hips as he shot a strict glare at the youngest, seeing that he was still in the wolf form and would probably make a mess in the house, later claiming that he was 'just playing' with Aera and Tae hyung.

"Hey princess." Jimin smiled, coming into the living room with a cup of coffee in his hand. Aera wiggled in her place, trying to get down as soon as possible and run to Jimin. He chuckled, stepping near the siblings and helped her down.

Aera hugged his legs, tilting her head up to look at him, "Up" She said, extending her arms up.

Instead of carrying her, Jimin crouched down in front of her, placing his one hand on her back as she quickly hugged him. Namjoon chuckled and took his coffee, knowing that he  won't be getting free for at least the next ten minutes, for Jungkook had joined them too, nuzzling against his hyung and sat beside him.

Jimin glanced at Jungkook, petting his head and rubbing on his belly, "So much love today, what did you do?" He asked, earning a glance from the white wolf which soon turned into a faint huff as he turned around, letting the elder know that he wanted his back to be rubbed now.

"...did he go hunting or something?" Namjoon asked, eyeing Jungkook's overly affectionate self.

"Jungkook turn this side." Jimin said, frowning a little as he touched below his shoulder joint, the wolf let out a low grunt, pulling himself back, earning a sigh from the elders.

"Oh you're back?" They heard Yoongi's sarcastic voice when he walked down the stairs, eyes fixated at the youngest's wolf form. "I thought you won't be coming back until you've cleared the whole area."

"What?" Jimin frowned.

"He was at Hanzwaire," Yoongi said, "and hunted down three of Osccur's wolves."

The boys gasped, heads snapping towards their youngest who had set yet another demonstration of his strength and bravery out there. Jimin inhaled deeply, glaring at the brother, aware of the kind of danger he had put himself into and probably more.

"Tae, take Aera from here." Jimin said, earning a hesitant nod from the boy as he walked over to them, holding the toddler's hand distracting her with silly talks while heading upstairs.

"Why?" Jimin asked, standing up while Jungkook sat in front of him, looking at him for a second before, hanging his head low. Jungkook shifted into his human form, closing his eyes with a soft, airy groan as he moved his shoulder a bit.

"I'm okay hyung." He said after a moment.

"I'm asking Why?"

Jungkook stayed silent, staring down at the floor, not having the courage and audacity to look at his hyung in the eyes. So he just shook his head, mumbling a sorry.

Jimin nodded amusedly, glancing at Yoongi who also had a serious expression, "I see how this is going Jungkook, the warehouse has taught you a lot huh?" Jimin ordered, making Jungkook's head jerk up, gaping at his hyung with wide eyes.

"I'm sorry, hyung. I just wanted to teach them a lesson, he hurted you and even Aera, so I was mad and..."

"and decided that you should go and kill them?"

"...Uh just wanted to scare them"

Jimin sighed deeply, "You know Osccur's pack is much bigger than us, and still you go there alone. Not just that, you even kill three of his members. They could've attacked and killed you right there Jungkook, and we couldn't have done anything to save you."

"Also, do you think killing his three members will have any effect on him? He'll just get more angry, he'll want a revenge, a deadly one this time." Yoongi added, "At least think before doing anything Jungkook-ah... I'm sure they'll target you now."

"I'm really sorry, I was just so mad at the thought he dared to hurt Jimin hyung and even tried hurting Aera, I couldn't hold myself... But don't worry hyung, I'm okay and they can't do anything to me."

Jimin averted his eyes, taking a deep breath in frustration, happy and angry at the same for having such an awgully amazing yet crazy brother who doesn't think twice before ripping off a head if someone dared to hurt his family.

"You're so stupid." Jimin sighed, glaring at him which just made Jungkook smile nervously, as he rubbed the back of his neck, shrugging his shoulders. "Stop smiling, I'm serious. I haven't met a more stupid wolf than you."

"I just wanted to-"

"I know what you wanted to do." Jimin said, "Getting yourself into life threatening situations and calling it 'helping and protecting' your pack is not how it works Jungkook. You have to learn this, you're not a kid that I have to go around explaining what risks are there, you know everything very well, utilize that."

Jungkook nodded and glanced up at Jimin and then the others, "Sorry?" He smiled, tilting his head, not really getting any specific response from his hyungs, not even a roll of the eye, which means they're cool. He grinned, shifting back into his wolf form and laying on the floor, closing his eyes.

"Don't you wanna go shower or something?"

Jungkook shook his head, licking his paw clean and glanced at the elder brother who sighed, kneeling down near him while the others chuckled, ready to give it their everything to keep each other safe.

Jimin caressed his back, making him look at him. The blue eyes reflecting Jimin's concerned face as he leaned forward near his ear. Jungkook nuzzled his snout against his brother's cheek and licked him instantly until Jimin scrunched his face, pulling his head back.

"Aish! Don't." Jimin said, but that didn't stop Jungkook. The wolf stood up pushing his hyung down, playfully tackling and licking him. Jimin frowned at him, shifting into his wolf form and pushed the younger away, letting out a loud growl, making him hunch down, now that his hyung stood as a wolf, the Alpha on top of that.

Jungkook kept his head low, walking away towards the couch where Namjoon sat with Hoseok who chuckled at him, petting his soft fur, "He's just worried about you Jungkook." Namjoon said.

"Yeah, you and Aera are all he has, and he's doing everything to keep you both safe. It's nothing more than trying to keep you alive and breathing next to him. He loves you a lot, even if he doesn't openly say it, he does love you Jungkook."

Jungkook glanced at Jimin who now shifted in human form, going back in the kitchen to warm his coffee. Nodding his head, Jungkook closed his eyes, resting his head on his paws after letting yawn.

"Oppa wof!" Aera chirped, tapping on Jimin's chest, earning a groan from as he rubbed the spot.

"Don't hit me, baby." He said.

Aera gasped, staring at him and leaned down, "Oppa ouch?"

"No, but that doesn't mean Riri should hit oppa." He pouted, making her giggle and quickly, lean closer and peck his lips.

"Riri wuv you!"

"Aw oppa loves you more." He said, kissing her forehead and made her lay on his chest, patting her back gently for her to sleep as it was getting past Aera's bedtime.

"Oppa" Aera said softly, lifting her head to look at Jimin. He hummed in response, glancing back and waited for her to continue, "Riri wa- wan' become wof."

He chuckled and shook his head, "Riri's a baby, and babies don't become wolves."

"Oppa become wof." She nodded.

"Yes, but not now." He said, patting her head, "It's time to sleep, you can play tomorrow."

"Koo and TaeTae an-and Yoonie and all oppa become- wof tomollow, and play wi' Riri... me pup."

Jimin chuckled and nodded for whatever she said, "Yeah, that's a lot of effort right there. We'll all play with Riri tomorrow, but for that Riri has to close her eyes and sleep now. Good pups don't stay up till late."

"Me good pup." Aera nodded and closed her eyes instantly, resting her head back on his chest, slowly drifting off to dreamland with his sweet voice humming slowly, matching with the calm pace of his heartbeat, sounding melodious and relaxing for Aera.

"Good night, my pup." Jimin whispered, glancing down at her sleeping face, her right cheek being pressed against his chest, making her tinted lips pucker out cutely. "Sweet dreams."
