Jungkook was at the locker room, dropping off his gym bag so that he won't need to carry it around in school. He left the room and decided to pass by the basketball court to see his coach and inform him that he will need to leave practice earlier that afternoon because of pack duties.
As he entered the court, he saw his coach giving drills to his third year students which were composed of werewolves and humans alike. Some of the werewolves were soldiers from the Snow Flower pack so they briefly bowed their heads to Jungkook before proceeding with their drills.
The coach — a human at his 40s named Park Min-Ho — noticed the gesture so he turned around to greet his young varsity captain.
"Hey, Capt. Jeon what brings you here? You wanna join the drills?" Min-Ho asked.
"Nah, too early for that coach." Jungkook said, chuckling.
"So, what's up. You're way too early for practice." Min-Ho said.
"Ya, I just came by to tell you that I would need to leave practice about an hour earlier later for a pack meeting." Jungkook said.
"Oh yeah, Kai told me about it. With Sehun and Suno, right?" The coach said.
Jungkook furrowed his brows, as the three weren't part of the meeting he set. But, the alpha just acknowledged and made a mental note of it. After that, he said goodbye to his coach and took his phone out and dialled a number.
J: Hello, Jinyoung hyung?
JY: Hello, alpha. What's up?
J: Hyung, do you know if my appa set a meeting later this afternoon, around 5 pm?
JY: No. In fact, your appa left to go to the council's office and discuss what should be done with the rogues who attacked alpha Namjoon and his family.
J: What? He never mentioned that to me. Was he alone?
JY: No. he brought a few of our soldiers with him.
J: Hyung, can you do me a favor?
JY: Of course.
J: Can you please send more soldiers to follow him? Around ten of our best ones. I don't feel so good about that trip.
JY: Why, what happened?
J: Kai, Sehun and Suno asked permission from our coach saying that they have a pack meeting to attend to around 5 pm.
JY: What?! I knew they really can't be trusted Jungkook. They should have been banished a long time ago.
J: I know. Just please arrange the men quickly. Meanwhile, I'll be with the hyungs — Yoongi, Hoseok and Bogum. You and Alpha Namjoon take over while both me and my father are not there. If you can, brief the Cypher Pack soldiers today. Be very cautious and careful, hyung.
JY: Okay, alpha. And please be careful too, JK.
J: I will, hyung. Thank you.
Jungkook ended the call and went out of the gym. The gym building was separated from the main campus area and one has to cross the football field to get to the Communication Arts building where the alpha is headed. His first class there starts in thirty minutes so he woukd be there on time.
As he was walking, Jungkook suddenly sensed that someone was following him so he halted and turned around. That's when he saw ten werewolves who stopped walking as well, standing a few feet away from him.
"Well, Alpha Jeon. We've heard that you never liked having bodyguards around you. That's such a stupid call. Now, you're here — all alone — giving us a very easy job of killing you." One of the werewolves said.
Jungkook smirked and poked the left side of his cheek with his tongue.
"Just ten of you? Are you trying to make me laugh?" Jungkook sarcastically said.
The werewolf was annoyed at Jungkook's confidence and smirked back. He has heard about the true blood's unrivaled strength, but never about his arrogance, the werewolf thought.
"Don't be so sure, Jeon. We came prepared." The werewolf said, bringing out a gun.
"Wow, I'm so scared. Let me guess. Silver bullets? Or bullets soaked in wolfbane? Bring it on and let's see if they have an effect on me. But that's if you can even aim fast enough to actually shoot me." Jungkook said.
The werewolf growled at him and took the first shot.
Jungkook's supernatural reflexes and speed made it quite easy for him to dodge the shot.
The werewolf was taken aback as he didn't know Jungkook could actually do that. Moreso, when he found the alpha standing right infront of him.
"Boo!" Jungkook said as he twisted the werewolf's wrist and easily took the gun from him. He then grabbed the werewolf's neck and lifted him up before throwing him towards three other werewolves who were also caught offguard.
"And now, there were six." Jungkook said as he quickly unloaded the gun and let the bullets drop on the ground. He then threw the gun away.
Jungkook's eyes turned red as he looked at the six werewolves who were about to attack him.
"Let's get this over and done with, shall we?" Jungkook shouted before anticipating their attack.
🔅🔅🔅🔅🔅🔅🔅🔅🔅🔅🔅🔅🔅🔅🔅🔅🔅
Meanwhile, Taehyung and Yoo Jung were frantically running around the campus, only stopping once to ask where the gym is. The alpha mentioned to him earlier that day that he will go see his coach first before heading to class.
As they were about to exit the campus building to go to the gym, they heard a gun shot.
Taehyung's heart skipped a beat as he looked at his sister.
"That was a bullet shot right?" Taehyung asked.
"Yeah, I think so." Yoo Jung said.
Taehyung's purple eyes glowed and he closed them and concentrated his thoughts on finding Jungkook. A few seconds later, he could mentally see his alpha disarming a werewolf and snatching the gun from the latter.
"I know where he is." Taehyung said. "Go, towards the football field. I'll meet you there." Taehyung said.
"What?!" YJ asked.
"Now, Yoo Jung!" Taehyung yelled.
Yoo Jung shifted to her werewolf form and ran as fast as she could.
Taehyung then closed his eyes once more and relaxed his mind. He then imagined being near his alpha and then it happened.
Taehyung found himself (or at least his astral self) behind Jungkook who yelled, "Let's get this over and done with, shall we?"
Taehyung watched as the six werewolves shfited to their wolf form and ran towards Jungkook.
The six werewolves were coming from two diffrent directions — 4 from the left side and 2 from the right.
Taehyung looked around and saw a big garbage bin and using his telekinetic powers, threw it on the the two wolves, causing them to get thrown a few feet aeay in the process.
Jungkook watched as it happened and turned around to see Taehyung standing behind him.
"Taeh!?" He yelled.
"Kook! Focus! On your left!" Taehyung yelled back.
Jungkook immediately shifted and in just a few seconds a huge black dog with red eyes appeared. Jk was about two sizes bigger than the four wolves.
Taehyung was amazed at the sight of his alpha's wolf form. He immediately felt relieved as he knew that his alpha could easily take down the four. So, he decided to sit back and watch all the action that's about to happen.
Two of the wolves were about to jump on Jk but the latter rushed forward and lunged on the right flank of one of the wolves and then threw the wolf's body on the other one.
The two other wolves were getting closer to Jungkook, but Yoo Jung suddenly arrived and attacked one of them, biting the wolf on the shoulder. Yoo Jung's wolf, Aki, appeared to be bigger than the rogue wolf as well — but not as huge as JK.
Just then, those in the gym were coming out one by one as they also heard the commotion from inside. The werewolves from the Snow Flower pack recognized their alpha so they shifted to their wolf forms and joined him.
The lone standing wolf knew that he was outnumbered so he retreated to the woods, followed by the injured ones. They left one of the wolves behind who appeared to have broken one of his hind legs and kept on whimpering.
Jungkook mindlinked the soldiers and asked them to take care of the injured rogue. He turned to look at Taehyung but he only saw his mate briefly as the latter suddenly disappeared.
Yoo Jung witnessed it too and got worried so she ran back to where she left Taehyung.
When she got there he saw Taehyung near the entrance of the campus, unconscious with blood coming out from his nose.
Yoo Jung nudged Taehyung but the latter remained unconscious. She started whimpering as she couldn't transform back since she had no spare clothes with her.
The campus doors suddenly opened and students started to come out, including Bogum and Hoseok. They immediately saw Taehyung with the wolf and Bogum somehow knew that it was Yoo Jung.
"Hoseok, bring Taehyung to the clinic quick, but leave me your coat."
Hoseok took off his trench coat, handed it to Bogum before scooping Taehyung in his arms.
Bogum knelt beside the wolf.
"Yoo Jung?" Bogum asked and the wolf nodded his head.
"Let's go to the side of the building. I'll hand you the coat so you can go wear it. Okay?" Bogum said. Aki didn't even bother to react and just ran towards the side of the building.
Bogum jogged behind her and stopped at the corner with his hand stretched out, holding the coat. He gave Yoo Jung privacy and waited until the latter took the coat from him. Bogum just stood there and after a few minutes, Yoo Jung appeared wearing the trench coat which was big enough to cover her body.
"Thank you, Bogum." Yoo Jung said, not looking at the latter.
"You're welcome. I'll take you to the clinic. Hoseok brought Taehyung there." Bogum said, smiling at Yoo Jung.
"It's okay. I know where it is, but can you please tell Jungkook what happened? He's probably at the gym, changing. We were attacked by rogues so he had to shift." Yoo Jung said and with that, Bogum's expression suddenly changed. He clenched his hand and gritted his teeth.
"Hey, it's okay. He wasn't harmed. None of us were. I think Taehyung oppa was just worn out as he's been using his powers non-stop for the past hour. We were able to fight the rogues off." Yoo Jung explained.
Bogum sighed. "Thank you for having Jungkook's back. I'll go check on him. You'd better go see Taehyung." Bogum said and Yoo Jung nodded.
The two went their separate ways but had one thing in mind — the danger isn't over yet.

At the clinic, Taehyung was being checked by the nurse while Hoseok stood beside the bed.
The clinic door opened and in came Chang Wook.
"Hoseok. I heard that one of the students who fought the rogues is here. Is it Jungkook?" He asked.
"No, why would you think it's Jungkook?" Hoseok looked at Chang Wook, skeptically.
"I was told that a trueblood alpha was attacked. There aren't many truebloods here, are there?" Chang Wook defensively said.
"Not him. His mate, Taehyung fainted. So I brought him bere." Hoseok said.
"I see. If you have a class, you can go ahead. I can stay here and watch him." Chang Wook said.
"No. My next class is at 2 pm, so I'm available to watch him. His sister's on her way here and I'm sure that Jungkook will come here too." Hoseok said.
"Okay. If you need me, you know my number. I'll just go investigate on what happened." Chang Wook said before leaving the clinic.
Hoseok watched Chang Wook leave and turned his attention back to Taehyung.
"How is he, doc?" Hoseok asked.
"He looks exhausted, but he should be awake soon. he just needs to rest more." The doctor said.
"Thank you, doc." Hoseok said.
A few minutes later, Yoo Jung arrived.
"Hoseok oppa, thanks for lending me your coat. How's my brother?" Yoo Jung said.
"Don't mention it. As for Taehyung, doctor said he was just exhausted and that he should be awake soon." Hoseok said. "May I know what happened?"
"We fought off rogues at the hallway near our class earlier. They came for Taehyung. And then at the football field, another group of rogues were there for Jungkook. I'm a bit confused as well as to what happened to Taehyung oppa. I left him outside the campus to help alpha Jungkook but when I got to the field, oppa was already there helping him out." Yoo Jung explained.
"So, are you saying that Taehyung has powers?" Hoseok said.
"Yes. According to our literature professor, Ms. Lee Hanee, Taehyung oppa is both a wolf and a witch." Yoo Jung said.
"How did your professor know that?" Hoseok asked.
"Well, I believe she's a witch." Yoo Jung said.
"What?! Are you sure?" Hoseok asked with wide eyes.
"Yes. Why do you look so surprised?" Yoo Jung asked.
"Because the university only hires wolves and humans as faculty members." Hoseok said.
"Then, why is Prof. Lee here?" Yoo Jung asked.
"Good question. We'd better tell the others later when we meet. There's too much going on these days, and honestly, I don't like what's happening." Hoseok said.
"Me too, oppa. And I'm quite worried about Taehyung and Jungkook oppa. It seems that someone's really after the two of them." Yoo Jung said.
"We'll get to the bottom of this, Yoo Jung." Hoseok said.
"I really hope so, Hoseok oppa. And, soon enough too." Yoo Jung said as she held her brother's hand.
Please be strong, oppa. I can't stand seeing you like this. Yoo Jung mentally said as she caressed her brother's hand.
