Different packs used different methods to treat wounded wolves. The Moonbora pack used herbs, Jeongguk realized as he rummaged through the first aid kit of the packhouse. Quickly reading labels, he picked up two bottles to use for wounds and rushed to Taehyung's room with the alpha,

Taehyung didn't look like he was in a hurry at all even though half of his face was covered in blood. As Jeongguk watched Taehyung unlock his door, guilt lay heavily in his throat. Taehyung had gotten hurt because of him. Because of how careless he had been. Only if he had listened to Taehyung when he said Jihoon looked suspicious, none of this would've happened. Taehyung wouldn't have been hurt.

Taehyung's room smelled like a forest. Jeongguk couldn't help the deep inhale he took as the alluring, dark woodsy fragrance surrounded him.

It seemed to wrap its tentacles around Jeongguk with no idea of letting him go. It embraced him; tightly and securely, relaxing his whole mind and body. Jeongguk felt his eyes flutter close for a moment as he took another deep breath to fill his lungs with the aroma of fragrant nature.

Stepping into Taehyung's room was like walking through a gate, leaving every single worry and fuss outside of the room, to be greeted with utmost peace, comfort and reassurance. With every second that passed and every new breath he took, his head cleared up and his breathing started to become easier and he could feel himself being at absolute peace.

While the scent of the forest was an epitome of comfort, the faint but evident aroma of red wine was blissful.

Seductive.

And it seemed to awaken his senses, his own pheromones responded to it and Jeongguk's wolf was restless, mood from earlier changed in a split second. His wolf was eager now, wanting to get closer to Taehyung, to smell that dark, red wine scent even further. He could feel his heartbeat quickening and his breaths becoming shorter, faster.

He gulped.

Jeongguk absolutely hates feeling affected by the alpha's scent like this. Usually, scents don't directly affect other wolves physically. Normally, Jeongguk would only be able to smell the scent and identify what a wolf's emotions are by it. However, never had he ever had a scent impact him physically like this. It made him feel a range of emotions that Jeongguk didn't even know possible. Sometimes it annoyed him.

Because he despised Taehyung. Taehyung was stupid and arrogant and he suspected Jeongguk. He made Jeongguk restless and he disturbed his peace by threatening him to spill his secret to Namjoon. Taehyung just couldn't keep his snout out of Jeongguk's business and the omega loathed him for it.

The main problem was that such emotional reactions were too strong. Such strong emotional reactions weren't normal unless...

"Why are we here?"

A voice made Jeongguk snap out of his thoughts, his shaky orbs shifting to meet the chocolate pair of eyes staring right back at him.

"Huh?"

"What are we doing in my room?"

"Oh" Jeongguk looked at the two small bottles of medicine in his hands. "I will take care of you"

Taehyung's eyes widened, a small choked noise leaving him.

"N-no I mean" Jeongguk struggled to speak, feeling too out of it because of the thick scent surrounding him. "I will treat your wounds"

Taehyung scratched the back of his neck awkwardly. "You don't have to. I can do it by myself"

Jeongguk shook his head. "No, I must. You got hurt because of me"
