Pure white fur, eyes like beacons in the low light. A wolf.

Taehyung had shifted into a wolf. He had done it.

He was big- there was no other way to put it. Compared to Baekhyun, his brother was easily only half his size. Half as tall, half as broad. Half the wolf Taehyung was, Jungkook thought faintly. With their platinum coat they would have been nearly identical if Baekhyun hadn't needed to tilt his head up to meet his eyes.

"What the fuck?" Even as weak as he was Jungkook's head still whipped around when he heard the scoff of disbelief. His heart dropped at the sight of the beta, Chanyeol, upright with Jimin pinned under one knee. "Well, this is a surprise." He crowed with a tilt of his head. "Guess you had to grow up eventually."

"Oh yeah, puberty's a bitch." A voice cut in, flat and low as they spoke around a growl. A familiar and welcome voice, however unexpected. Jungkook gasped and despite the pain the movement gave him he pushed himself up on an elbow to see. There was no way-.

Jongin stood in the doorway, Yoongi and Hoseok battered but alive at his back. The omega felt an overwhelming wave of relief wash over him at the sight of the younger alpha, and the redhead shot him a tired wink when they locked eyes. "Don't worry, Kook," Hoseok said tightly, "We got this covered."

Jungkook had no idea what the hell had happened since he'd been knocked out, but he wasn't about to argue against it. Who had called the pack? Had he really been out long enough for them to run the miles they were away from the compound?

The betas stared at each other as Jongin cracked his neck. "Sup?" He asked with a casual tilt of his head.

Jungkook had no idea what kind of history Baekhyun's "pack" had with each other, but he could gather from the frown on Chanyeol's face, the subtle look of betrayal, that they had been mildly close before. He let off of Jimin with barely a second thought and pushed himself to his feet. "Kai..."

"Hey, kid? Don't worry about us." Yoongi called out and stepped around the beta. His scent was more and more suffocating with every step that he took, the urge to submit just grew stronger and stronger for everyone in the room. His scent had easily overpowered Taehyung's the moment Jimin had been pinned to the ground; the idea that someone as strong as Yoongi willingly submitted to another alpha almost made him even more impressive, Jungkook thought faintly.

Taehyung barely turned in his direction, but Jungkook could feel the overwhelming relief that the Second's arrival had given him. He dipped his head briefly and Jungkook wished he could have been able to speak in that form, if only to hear what he knew his alpha was saying.

I trust you.

Baekhyun snarled, apparently angry that he had been ignored. His claws scraped against the ground and Taehyung's ears twitched at the irritating sound. They seemed to have some sort of silent conversation, little growls and broken off yips that only they could understand.

"Jungkook!" The Luna was yanked from his thoughts when two hands hooked under his body and hoisted him up. A strangled scream escaped him as his shoulder was jostled, immediately followed by a string of apologies by the redhead that had grabbed him. "Hey, hey- it's okay, deep breathes. You're gonna be okay, trust me, c'mon."

"Hoseok hyung?" His vision blacked out briefly from the pain, but when it cleared his friend smiled tiredly down at him. There was a streak of something red across his cheek (although no visible wound hinted it wasn't even his) but he looked otherwise completely healthy, if not exhausted. "What...?"
