Haven

Chapter 7

"Jungkook, do you trust me?" Taehyung asks the lycan as he packs their bags.

"Only you," Jungkook mutters and watches Taehyung's every movement.

"When I brought you home, my older brother helped me. You can trust him." Taehyung explains as he tosses everything they will need into the two large bags. "I need to keep you safe, so we are going to my brother's place. I don't know if they recognized you as a lycan. I cannot take any risks. We have to be fast."

"Sorry," Jungkook whispers as he clenches his hands together. "So sorry."

"Why are you apologizing?" Taehyung turns and looks at Jungkook with surprise. "You did nothing wrong. You protected me, your human." He softly smiles and walks over to the frowning lycan. "You protected your human, so let me protect my Jungkook."

"Your Jungkook." The lycan's bright green eyes widen with surprise.

"Yes. My Jungkook." Taehyung softly hums as he cradles Jungkook's face in his hands.

Jungkook suddenly wraps his arms around Taehyung and holds him close. A deep rumble leaves his chest as he pulls Taehyung onto his lap, surprising the human.

"My human." The lycan softly growls as his eyes flash a brighter green.

"My Jungkook." Taehyung smiles and leans into Jungkook's embrace, trying to imitate submission because the veterinarian had informed him that Jungkook is a dominant lycan.

Seeing the human submit to him, Jungkook's breath hitches. Everything the human does surprises him and brings out the protective and possessive instincts he never knew he had. Hearing the deepening rumble of the wolf, Taehyung bares his throat for the wolf to know that he trusts him.

To try to understand the lycan more, Taehyung watched several videos about the instincts and nature of wolves. Jungkook is a human with wolf instincts, so Taehyung wanted to learn as much about wolves as possible.

When Jungkook nuzzles his nose against Taehyung's throat, the human softly gasps and stills. He grips the man as the lycan grazes his teeth against his throat and then rumbles with satisfaction. Taehyung memorized every wolf sound, and what they meant, so he knew that Jungkook was satisfied with his submission. Knowing this, Taehyung snuggles his head under Jungkook's chin.

The lycan's heart beats out of his chest at the sweet sign of submission from the human. As Taehyung snuggles in Jungkook's lap, the doorbell rings. Taehyung quickly jumps up and rushes to the door monitor while Jungkook growls. When he sees who is at the door, Taehyung sighs with relief and opens the door.

"Thank you so much for coming. I apologize for asking for help so fast." Taehyung bows to Eunkyung.

"Do not apologize. Keeping lycans safe is my priority. That is the reason why I work for CEO Jung." She smiles and bows to Taehyung. "I can hear him growling. I will wait by the door."

When Taehyung walks into the bedroom, he sees Jungkook in his wolf form, ready to attack. "Do not worry. She is someone we can trust. She is going to take us to my brother." Taehyung softly tells Jungkook and brushes his fingers through the wolf's fur.

Jungkook turns to his human form and nods. He only trusts Taehyung. He will trust Taehyung's trust in the woman in the apartment.

"Here, put your clothes back on." Taehyung picks up the discarded clothes on the floor. 

"Okay." Jungkook takes the clothes from Taehyung and clumsily puts them on.

"I am sorry. I know that you will be nervous and stressed about moving to a new place with new scents and people, but this is the best way to keep you safe for right now," Taehyung softly tells Jungkook as he helps him get dressed.
