New Instincts

The Beginning

Namjoon

It was late, how late? He wasn't sure but it was dark outside and most of the others in the facility were asleep. His wolf hearing couldn't hear anybody moving nearby, except her. He could hear her, they all could, her screaming could be heard echoing through the empty halls. Her screams used to have no effect on him. He hated humans and even though she was locked up just like the hybrids, it did not fully register with him what they intended on doing to her. He didn't know when his view of her changed, but it happened quickly. Seeing her everyday and getting to know her softened the wolf hybrid. He enjoyed her presence and her scent so much so, that at some point he had begun to see her as part of his pack. He even told the others how he felt hoping that he wasn't crazy. At first, Yoongi scolded him, reminding him of everything humans had done to them. However, it didn't take too much more time and the grumpy cat had also become close to the young woman.

They had learned a little about her over the months. She is 28 years old, no family, no friends, single. She was new to town, she was kidnapped while on her way out to meet new people. He had to admit she was the perfect target no one was looking for her. She was kind, understanding, and patient. They all agreed when they escaped she was to come with them, and become part of their pack. They were certain she would be a perfect addition.

She never really admitted what was happening to her. However, him and his pack were not dumb, they had a general idea of what was going on. Hybrid Specialty Labs were experimenting on the girl. They had heard the guards talking about it. Apparently certain human beings are born with dormant hybrid DNA. They were attempting to prove it could be activated under the right conditions. Good thing their escape plan was coming together so well. He was busting his pack out of here as soon as possible but his conscience would not let him leave without her. Soon y/n, I will get you out of here.

"Joon, Namjoon!" whispered urgent voice of the tiger hybrid Taehyung. " They have never kept her for this long" Namjoon strained his ears to try and hear any conversation happening within the lab. Her screams had stopped, and while it was muffled he could hear excited chatter from the scientists in charge. "I can't believe it! We've done it! Look she's already changing. Ah a rabbit! We will have to run more tests tomorrow, to find out how seamless the change is." Namjoon's eyes widened. They were actually successful. He heard the doorknob rattling. He quickly laid down to pretend to sleep, before he closed his eyes he looked at Jimin across the aisle and confirmed he had heard it too. The two guards stopped in front of Jin, Hobi, and Jungkook's cage and threw unconscious girl in with them. She was no longer human. The raccoon Jin, approached the girl and gently laid her head on his lap. Meanwhile, Hobi the coyote, and Jungkook the rabbit sat on either side of her. Jungkook took his tattered hoodie off and used it to try to tend to some of her many wounds, while carefully avoiding her newly formed bunny ears.

"Joon what happened? What did they too her?" A voice broke through his concentration on the young female, a voice belonging to Yoongi, the panther hybrid. There was a tinge of worry in voice. It was uncharacteristic of the panther to worry about anyone outside of their pack. "Yoongi she is not human anymore look!" I say pointing across the aisle to the cage she now resided in.

"Is she okay? What will happen to her?" Namjoon slowly turned his face to meet Yoongi. He opened his mouth to say something but closed it. What will he say? He doesn't know if she is ok, or what will happen to her. As far as he knows this hold be impossible, she was born human and should have stayed human. A hand on his shoulder snapped him out of his thoughts. Ah yes Yoongi is waiting for an answer. " I am not sure I can't tell from here." He looked across the aisle to Tae and Jimin who were anxiously trying to see into the cage next to them. " Come on Jin tell us something, how is our girl?"

They looked frantic, they looked like they were in love. In love? Our girl? Namjoon gasped. In that moment it all made sense. The overwhelming need to save her too. It clicked, she was their mate. This changes everything. They would be breaking out at the end of this week, they would protect what was theirs.
