It took a couple of days, but eventually, Grifin's pack arrived. I heard the sound of growling which woke me up on that chilly morning. I'm still not too sure about packs, but it seems weird that none of this pack fought back when hundreds of angry wolves came plowing into their territory. A wolf came down the concrete stairs - looked at me before snarling.
"What took you so long?" Grifin asked, ignoring the fact that this wolf clearly had already formed a strong hatred towards me. I assumed he would just be like Grifin was; hostile at first, but soon okay with me. The wolf just growled in response.
"You need to shift - I can't understand you". Just like Namjoon did, he soon turned into a normal human. Well, 'human'. Now, I understand that he can't help it, but him standing directly in front of me, stark naked, this early in the morning, was not something I needed to see. Ever!
"I can't open the bars - they're silver," he said, not making any attempt to cover up his family jewels.
"No shit!" shouted Grifin, "I don't care what you do, just get me out of here".
"I'll go and look for some keys" he replied before turning away.

We sat in silence for a while before I spoke.
"Why are the bars silver?"
"Werewolves can't touch silver. It's our kryptonite"
"Oh, so what would happen if you touched it?"
"You sure ask a lot of questions"
"It's because I like answers"
"It's like fire. A strong burning sensation spread all over us".

It wasn't long before the man came back, still naked, with a key. He asked me to unlock Grifin's cell as he didn't want any risk of touching it. As soon as the door was open, Grifin shifted and ran out; being sure to nudge his back with his nose as an indication to climb on.

Riding Grifin was like riding a horse. His wolf was the same size as Namjoon's but when I was on his back I felt like I was much higher up than I really was. Grifin and I were at the front of a heard of wolves, all pummelling the forest floor with their heavy paws. It felt like I was on a naturistic motorbike.

The forests were thick and bushy until all of a sudden there were no trees. We entered the clearing and I looked up, admiring the sky which had previously been covered by the thick tree canopy. As I returned my gaze to its normal level, I noticed I'd missed a mammoth of a house. It was similar to the pack-house but considerably more modern. As we reached the entrance, I was thrown off Grifin's pack, though I felt it was in the nicest possible way, and he and his wolf friends shifted back to 'humans'. I have a feeling that they don't really care for clothes, considering they never seem to make any attempt to cover their junk.

I thought Namjoon had a busy pack-house, this one was even busier. Wolves (in human form) littered the corridors, looking like they'd passed out from a few too many drinks. These wolves were not very well cared for.
"Come with me, princess, I'll show you your room," said Grifin, who'd somehow managed to pull on a pair of shorts. I nodded in reply but didn't say anything as he guided me away from the crowded hall.

The house was like a maze. He guided me through the twisting corridors and I'm pretty sure we went round in a circle at least a dozen times.
"Here's your room," he said, "it's not very luxurious but-" that was the last thing I heard him say before he pushed me inside and locked the door.
