The villa door slammed with such force that it seemed to echo through the corridors, mirroring the chaos within each member of the Lunaris pack as they entered. They moved with a wild intensity, their strides heavy and their faces a canvas of confusion and urgency. Inside the familiar confines of their living room, the walls appeared to draw in closer, the space shrinking under the weight of their collective anxiety.

As they gathered, a heavy silence settled over the room, thick and almost suffocating. It was as if the air itself was laden with the gravity of the day's revelations and the unsolved mysteries that hung between them. The tension was palpable, a tangible presence that each member felt acutely.

Seungmin, his anxiety palpable, had taken to sitting on the edge of the plush couch, his elbows resting on his knees as he stared blankly at the patterned rug beneath his feet. Every so often, his gaze lifted to scan the room, taking in the restless movements of his packmates and the grave expressions that marked their faces.

Felix, sensing the growing discomfort and the need for some respite, slipped quietly into the kitchen. He returned moments later with a tray laden with glasses of water, his way of offering comfort. His movements were smooth and purposeful, a soothing presence in the midst of turmoil.

Jeongin, meanwhile, found solace by the fireplace. Leaning against the opposite wall, he stared into the dancing flames, the firelight casting flickering shadows across his thoughtful face. The crackling of the logs seemed to underscore the tension in the room, each snap a reminder of the unresolved issues hanging over them.

Minho and Changbin hovered near their mates, their presence a protective shield around the room. The air was thick with the bitter, suffocating smells of their collective anxiety, as pheromones laden with worry mingled invisibly, emphasizing the deep concerns they all held for their leader, Chan, and the inexplicable pain he endured.

Chan, leaning wearily against the mantelpiece, was the first to break the silence, his voice barely above a whisper but laden with pain. "It's worse than before," he murmured, his hand clutching his chest where the pain was most acute. His confession deepened the worry lines on his mates' faces.

Jisung immediately sprang into action, his hands glowing with a soft, healing light. "Stay still, Chan," he urged, his voice a calm anchor in the storm of emotions. As his hands hovered over body, he focused intently, his brow furrowed in concentration.

Felix stepped forward, offering a glass of water with both hands. His gesture was gentle, an unspoken support as he watched Jisung work. Chan took the glass with a nod, his throat working as he swallowed, his eyes closing briefly in appreciation of the simple comfort.

"There's nothing wrong physically that I can find... nothing that should be causing this much pain." His brows furrowed in concentration as he healed Chan's bleeding nose, making it as good as new within moments.

Minho and Changbin, unable to contain their restlessness, paced near the windows, their faces set in lines of anger and frustration from the night's confrontations. The visible bruises on their faces were testament to the physical altercations, yet their deeper turmoil was not as easily soothed.

"Stop pacing, you two," Jisung called out, his voice calm but firm. "Come here and let me look at those bruises." Reluctantly, they stopped their movements and approached Jisung, allowing him to extend his healing touch to their split lips and bruising jaws.

"Mark has a strong hand," Minho admitted, his voice low as Jisung inspected the damage. Changbin nodded in agreement "Jackson too", his jaw set tightly as Jisung's healing energy worked to soothe their injuries.

The room fell into a heavy silence once more, filled only by the fire's crackling and their collective, tense breathing. Everyone was deep in thought, reflecting on the day's events and the implications of Hyunjin's mysterious influence.
