Before Jungkook could register anything, the wolf lunged forward.

Instinctively, Jungkook turned and ran, his legs pounding against the dirt and dry leaves on the ground. He didn't dare cast a glance behind him. He could feel the wolf's hot breath on his legs.

He picked up his pace, his heart thumping wildly against his chest, desperate to get away from the creature.

He could hear the wolf's paws hitting the ground behind him. He could hear his own feet pounding against the ground.

Oh no!

Crap!

Crapity Crap!

He'd taken the wrong route.

He was running deeper into the woods, away from their pack house.

What had he done?

Fuck!

His neck burned as fear clouded his senses. The snarls of the were behind him rang through his ears.

He stumbled but quickly regained balance, pushing himself to run faster. He could hear the wolf close behind him.

His feet burned.

His muscles screamed in pain.

His heart thumped painfully against his chest.

His eyes stung.

His vision blurred.

No no no, fuck, no.

Now wasn't the time to have a panic attack.

So not the time for a panic attack.

Not when he was in the middle of the fucking woods with a were on his tail.

No, no, no.

He couldn't do it.

He was going to die. His ragged breathing affected his pace. He felt sharp teeth sink into his skin and cried out in pain as he fell to the ground.

The wolf had Jungkook's ankle in its jaws, a wild look in its blood red eyes. Terrified, Jungkook screamed as loudly as he could.

It was useless.

Using his free leg, Jungkook kicked the wolf in the snout and it whimpered, letting go of the younger's foot.

Jungkook tried to move but it hurt so bad. Tears streamed down Jungkook's cheeks as he could do nothing but watch as the wolf recovered from the kick, its angry red eyes sending shivers down Jungkook's spine.

In a second, the wolf had pinned him down, claws ripping the fabric of his shirt.

Jungkook couldn't breathe.

His chest tightened. The wolf's razor sharp teeth were inches away from his neck.

Suddenly, the weight on Jungkook's chest lifted. The wolf no longer stood over the younger. The sounds of growling and pained cries reached his ears. Through blurry vision, Jungkook made out three forms rolling on the ground before him, clawing and biting the wolf that had attacked him.

His lungs burned.

Air, he needed air.

Fear was all Jungkook felt. His chest clenched painfully, tears running down his cheeks.

He couldn't breathe.

He couldn't fucking breathe.

His ankle hurt so bad. His body trembled violently. He vaguely heard the pounding of footsteps towards him, he vaguely registered the hands pulling him into a hug.

"...safe. You're safe. We've got you. You're safe," a voice reached his ear.

"He's having a panic attack. Move over," Jungkook heard another voice say. A pair of hands firmly grabbed his shoulders.

"Breathe with me. Listen to hyung. Breathe with me. 1...2...3..., breathe in, 1...2...3..., breathe out," the voice instructed and Jungkook obeyed.
His vision slowly came into focus and he found himself looking into Yoongi's concerned gaze.

Namjoon knelt down beside Yoongi, laying a hand on the boy's trembling thigh.

"You're safe, pup. You're safe now."

"Alpha," Jungkook sobbed and Namjoon immediately pulled the younger into his embrace, kissing the shell of his ear, "Alpha...H-hurts, alpha."

"Alpha knows. Alpha's got you, pup. You're safe now," Namjoon whispered as Jungkook continued to sob.

"We have to take him to Jin-hyung, Namjoon-ah. Look at his ankle," Yoongi cried and Namjoon nodded, lifting Jungkook in his arms, causing the younger to scream in pain.

"Hurts, Alpha. Hurts," Jungkook choked out and Yoongi buried his face in the boy's neck, rubbing the skin with the tip of his nose.

"I'm sorry, pup. I know we said we wouldn't use our powers on you but we can't see you in pain."

"Sleep pup," Namjoon ordered, and Jungkook felt his eyelids grow heavy. He closed his eyes and welcomed the darkness.
