I stepped through the door into the party, and was immediately assaulted by a wave of noise and chaos.

Jesus, was every single person on campus crammed into this place? I wanted to turn right back around and leave.

Couples were straight up grinding and making out shamelessly in the middle of the crowd.

Okay, I'm no prude - I've had my fair share of threesomes. But this was just obscene.

Scanning the sea of bodies, I finally spotted the people I was looking for - Jin hyung, his mate Namjoon, and our friend Yoongi. Jin is my step-brother, since my father remarried after my mother passed away years ago. Not that I really missed her - she was a terrible person from what I can remember.

I never expected the infamous playboy Jin to settle down, but then he met Namjoon and it was instant whiplash.

Love at first sight and all that crap. They're mated now and apparently fuck like rabbits.

Not that I can judge - I go through casual flings faster than Namjoon goes through those grandpa cardigan sweaters he insists on wearing. (again, not judging him)

As I approached, Namjoon hyung caught my eye and waved, dimples flashing. Yoongi offered a lazy wave, looking bored as usual. Jin, on the other hand, did not look pleased.

"Why the hell are you this late?" he snapped. "Don't tell me you forgot about the damn party, you moron!"

I held up my hands defensively. "Chill, hyung. I just got...temporarily distracted."

Namjoon barked out a laugh. "Oh yeah? Those 'giggles' I heard over the phone sounded pretty distracting."

I groaned as Jin shot me a withering glare. "You couldn't keep it in your pants for one night."

"It's not like that!" I insisted. "She's gone now, it was a one-time thing."

Yoongi snorted derisively. "Is that what you told her?"

"You know what, forget it," Jin said, pinching the bridge of his nose. "I don't want to know."

I opened my mouth to retort, but a sudden peal of bright laughter cut through from behind us. I turned, and the words died in my throat.

There, bathed in the ethereal glow of moonlight filtering through the gauzy curtains, stood the most breathtakingly beautiful boy I'd ever seen. Tousled honey blonde hair seemed to glow like a halo, framing delicate features - perfect cheekbones, button nose, pillowy lips stretched in the most angelic giggle as Taehyung chased him playfully.

It was as if everything else fell away. The thumping bass line, the press of bodies, Jin's irritated voice...all of it faded into the background. All I could see was him, this heavenly vision.

Something primal stirred within me at the sight of him. My alpha felt it too, sitting up and taking notice, tilting its great head in wonder. We'd never encountered anything like this beautiful creature before.

He threw his head back with another crystalline laugh, exposing the column of his neck.

fuck.

fuck.

fuck.

How could anyone be so perfectly, devastatingly gorgeous?

My inner wolf paced restlessly, whining low in my chest as I drank in every delicious detail.

Satin skin that looked impossibly soft, a lithe dancer's body concealed by several layers of clothing...I could smell his sweet, floral scent even across the room, and it made my mouth water.

"Tae, I need to leave, come on. It's lateee," he giggled, trying in vain to dodge Taehyung's hands.

The sound of his voice was like velvet caressing my very soul. A rumbling growl reverberated through my entire being as I watched the way his plump lips formed each word so prettily.

Who was this exquisite creature? An angel fell to earth? I was utterly bewitched, enraptured. My wolf whimpered shamelessly, straining toward him as if he were the moon itself.

Then those full, pretty lips quirked into a radiant smile, and it was like the sun emerged from behind the clouds.

My breath caught in my throat as our eyes met for the briefest moment, time seeming to still.

Those eyes. Fuck.

A full-body shiver ran through me.

I felt odd...off-kilter, dizzy in a way I'd never experienced before. An unfamiliar ache blossomed in my chest as he looked away, breaking the spell. My wolf whined pitifully, pacing in agitated circles as the floral scent grew fainter.

My heart stuttered in my chest. That laugh...that smile...how was he even human? I couldn't tear my eyes away.

Then, far too soon, the moment was over. "Okay, okay!" Taehyung relented with a grin. "Let's get going then."

"Wha- Wait!" I blurted before I could stop myself.

But it was too late. The two disappeared into the crowd, golden boy slipping through my fingers like a dream. I blinked dazedly, barely registering Jin shouting my name in irritation as I shoved my way through the throngs of people toward the exit.

Bursting through the door, I scanned wildly from left to right. But they were gone. The beautiful blonde and Taehyung had vanished into the night without a trace.

I slumped back against the door, head spinning.

Who the fuck was he?

and what in the fuck is wrong with me.
