Another BTS Story 1 (finished)

Hybrid 7.4: Feeling the Mate Bond?

"You're back." Mira remarked "Yeonjun and Soobin went grocery shopping." She announced

"Good." I said

I felt anxious, jittery and the fear eating me up wasn't allowing me to stand up from Mira's bed. Quickly noticing my behavior, Mira frowned. The girl was antsy and fear clenched to her scent similar to when she first met Soobin. She had scent Jungkook fetch the girl knowing that he and she were the closest. Or at least, she supposed it to be. Yeonjun also told her she had been napping with Taehyung, to the tiger's delight.

"Is there something wrong?" Mira asked

"No." the answer was too quick to low for Mira's liking

"Did they do something to you?" she asked

"No." the answer was slightly softer "I'm just...I'm me. And they are them." I didn't know how to explain it otherwise

Knowing well it wasn't because they were hybrids, Mira frowned. The distress visible in the girl's body was something she had gotten rid of in the past week and hoped to keep, but here her anxiety was making her sweet scent turning incredibly sour and difficult to swallow.

"We're back!"

Not a word of greeting from her, Mira was even more surprised by Melody's behavior. Her eyes were on the door as she nervously looked at it. The panic attack raising in her throat on the verge of exploding.

"Soobin, Yeonjun stay in the kitchen." Mira ordered before taking a step close to the girl that was shaking.

Her whole body tense as her white eyes showed the older woman how scared and uncomfortable she was. Glancing at the woman quickly, not even recognizing her, a flinch covered her whole body as she brushed a finger against her skin. Mira clenched her fist. She knew the boys didn't do anything, but it was clear that Melody saw something or heard something that made her like this again.

"Melody. I'll step out. Try to calm down. I won't ever let anybody hurt you again. Grandma will always take care of you okay?"

The voice of the older woman sounded false but I nodded. I nodded because I knew I was getting anxious and scared for something that would probably not happened. Probably. The fact that the hybrids who found me were here and had a close link with me somewhat: mates, made me even more sensitive. They were openly mean, refraining from making it easy to communicate and looked at me with disgust. Sliding the long of the wall, I closed my eyes as the door locked on me.

Mira stepped inside the kitchen as a nervous Soobin glanced back and forth between her and the door. Mira wasn't stupide and knew very well that the wolf hybrid and the wild cat hybrid had developed protective instinct over the fragile Melody hiding in her room. Melody had been broken physically and mentally several times and the mates of hers were breaking her without even realizing it by acting like pure assholes. She caught Jungkook's lingering gaze on the door.

"What happened?" Soobin asked in a whisper

"I found her in my room, stiff like a rog, standing in a corner, her eyes closed." Mira sighed "She was waiting for something to happen and even flinched when I brushed a finger against her." She grimaced

"She had stopped flinching." Yeonjun clenched his fist "She was opening up and..." he didn't finish his sentence but his unspoken words hung in the air

"We didn't do anything." Jin argued defending his mates

"Did I ask you?" Mira retorted

"Jungkook just carried her back as soon as she woke up. I asked her if she improved and she answered that she was trying." Jin wet his lips "And..."
