A Cursed Wolf || Taehyung ff

Chapter 6.

Taehyung's Pov:

I couldn't understand why I felt uneasy, my mind constantly going back to Dia.

Ryker's restlessness kept intensifying, and it was driving me insane. I couldn't focus on my work properly, and I kept experiencing pain from the dark hole in my chest. It was unbearable.

I left my office and headed to Thea's chamber, where I've been for several hours now. Being near her was usually like medicine to my soul. Somehow, her presence always seemed to make the pain from the cursed hole in my soul bearable.

But these days, it was almost as if the dark hole had come alive, and nothing was working, not even Thea's presence. Not even the healer's potions. Nothing.

I was on the bed with Thea beside me when I was mind linked by Jimin. His voice echoed within the walls of my mind in a frenzy.

"Alpha, the pack is under attack." He rushed in a sentence. I jolted from the bed immediately. Thea was up beside me.

"What?" I snatched my clothes from the floor, wearing them in a hurry. "Who are they?"

"Rogues," he replied quickly.

My eyes flashed rage. "Jimin, get the warriors and head to the pack borders. We must stop them before they get into the pack."

"Alright, Taehyung," He disconnected with me.

I mind-linked Adam together with the pack army, ordering them to spread out to the borders while some of the warriors swept through the pack, and the others should ensure the pack members were taken to safety.

I was about to mind-link Allen when someone connected to me.

Brielle's panicked voice flooded my mind. "Alpha!" Something was wrong. Ryker and I felt it. He had begun to growl angrily.

"What is it?" I felt my chest tighten in a knot, awaiting her frenzied voice.

"It's Luna, she--" At the mention of Dia, I cut her off, a strange emotion exploding within me. Fear.

"What happened to Dia?" I roared. I didn't even realize I was yelling aloud while speaking through the mind-link.

"Someone sighted some rogues heading north to the garden, and Luna was there. Ria left her for only a second at the garden. I'm on my way there but-" Before Brielle finished her words, I cut her off again, my legs having a kind of life of their own, hastening to the door. I could hear Thea's voice speaking, but I could care less what she had to say. I needed to get to Dia. She was in danger.

The instant I reached outside, I gave Ryker control and shifted into my gargantuan black wolf.

We sprinted off, heading towards the pack garden. It was far away from the castle.

Why did Ria take her that far? I wanted to lash out on her, but Ryker growled in my head. "This wasn't the time for that, human."

He was right. This wasn't the time for that.

I reached the pack's garden. From afar, my eyes zeroed in on Dia. She was on the ground, circled by three roguish wolves who had already leaped into the air to attack her. Ryker let out a powerful howl as he raced closer to Dia. Ryker's eyes went completely red. Without being told twice, he lunged at the wolf who was a second away from descending on Dia.

Ryker's sharp claws pierced the wolf, and with his elongated canines, he bit another wolf, tossing them against the rough earth.

We landed on our paws, and so did the two wolves who were already bleeding. The third one was beside them, glaring at my wolf.
