"Fuck... it burns." Jungkook cursed, his voice strained.

"You're acting like you haven't touched Wolfsbane before," Yoongi muttered, sealing the blue Wolfsbane bottle with a click.

"It feels like years since I last took it." Jungkook gritted his teeth, his hand tightening around the vial. "Where's the kid?"

"With her. Her heat is... intense. Because of the inner ward around her villa, we can't hear or smell her. I was inside the dome when it started. Her first wave of scent nearly knocked me out. The boy..he threw me out the second it hit. Whatever happens, don't set a foot inside that ward. Taehyung will burn you alive if you even breathe in her direction." Yoongi's voice was cold, almost warning.

"I won't, hyung. I know my place. She's out of my league, and I'm not foolish enough to show up again when her wolf's in heat. You remember what happened last time." Jungkook shrugged, shifting uncomfortably.

"Don't even remind me of that... Wait..what?" Yoongi turned toward the still man, a twinge of concern creeping into his voice.

"We're screwed. He knows I'm here. He's trying to mindlink." Jungkook's expression darkened, his fingers twitching as he injected more Wolfsbane into his veins.

"How?" Yoongi asked, his gaze sharpening.

!!Stay low. Do not move from where you're sitting!! Jungkook mindlinked, his voice urgent.

!!What is it?!! Yoongi stilled, his eyes narrowing.

!!There's something looking right at me through the window. From where you're sitting, you're not in its view.!! Jungkook replied, his senses heightened as his gaze flicked to the darkened window.

!!Rogue?!! Yoongi's voice came through, tight with suspicion.

!!No. It's... it's a Dire Wolf? Yes, I think it is. He's accessing its thoughts and memories.!! Jungkook's mind raced, trying to piece it together.

!!For that, he should be closer. At least a meter distance. But I can't smell him.!! Yoongi responded, frustration evident.

!!We're missing something. How else can he see its thoughts?!! Jungkook questioned, his brow furrowing in confusion.

!!I've heard witches can do that. It's a difficult spell, but with experience, and if the animal voluntarily helps, it's easier than you'd think. Mrs. Linda used an upgraded version of that spell on her pawns in Octagon. Do you remember how she saw and heard everything?!! Yoongi's mindlink was laced with frustration, recalling past events.

!!She's dead. Who's running Octagon now?!! Jungkook's mind buzzed with urgency.

!!Her granddaughter. Miss Bora. She's a witch. Class 3, if I'm not wrong.!! Yoongi replied, his voice steady.

!!Is there any chance she could help Taehyung?!! Jungkook's mind sharpened, his focus intensifying.

!!He was the one who found her in the first place. Octagon wasn't just a pub. It was a secret society, a part of our spy network. We worried that if it went down, everything would come crashing with it. Taehyung took this personally and found the lady living a normal life in the States. He traced her lineage and entrusted her with the pub, along with the wealth tied to it. Basically, she owes him everything.!! Yoongi explained, the weight of the situation clear in his tone.

!!Hang on. I'll deal with this one.!! Jungkook's resolve hardened, his body tense.

He suddenly jumped out of the window, the night air sharp against his skin. His eyes caught the glint of the Dire Wolf, its eerie gaze fixed on him. Without hesitation, he sprinted toward it. But just as he was about to close the distance, Yoongi's voice snapped through his mind.
