Namjoon's currently in his study working on his other jobs, already immune to the chaos that ensues everyday. The pups have been living with them while the coven prepare the clinic for their physical examination and further interrogation. So now they have three kids, four if you include Seokjin in the shenanigans. But he's not complaining seeing how happy his husband has become ever since their family grew. If only they can behave and stop ruining the furniture while rough housing.

The vampire can't help but muse about how much their lives has changed ever since Jungkook arrived. It took a lot of adjustments and patience, especially on his part, but he admits he wouldn't have it any other way. Now he can't imagine his life without Jungkook.

Namjoon's train of thought was interrupted by silence. He's used to all the yelling and screaming while the kids play that he automatically became suspicious when he realized that the castle has grown quiet.

He strained his ears to listen carefully to what's possibly happening outside the room. Then he heard it.

A hiss.

And a growl.

In an instant Namjoon flew out to the garden where his family was having fun just a while ago.

He found Jungkook being comforted by Seokjin in an embrace. The newbie immediately cowered behind his eomma upon sensing Namjoon's presence.

"What happened here, Seokjin? Is Jungkook alright? Where are the pups?", Namjoon asked worriedly seeing how distressed Jungkook looked.

"Everything's okay, dear. It was just a misunderstanding. Why don't we go inside to talk properly.", Seokjin answered soothingly as he guided his husband inside the castle while Jungkook clinged to his side.

Once the three of them are seated comfortably in the living room, Seokjin began.

"Please, Joon, before you react let me finish the story first. Okay?", Seokjin said looking at Namjoon pointedly.

The vampire just nodded already impatient.

"So, the three decided to play tag in the garden. At one point, Jimin pushed Kookie too hard that they both stumbled to the ground. Kookie got pissed and on impulse, bared his fangs. This put Jimin on a defensive mode and shifted. It was fascinating to witness by the way, but not the point. Anyway, before anything bad happened, Tae was able to pacify Jimin and took him to their room to calm him down. That's it. No damage done.", Jin explained trying to be nonchalant about it hoping his husband would take his explanation at face value and not overthink the situation.

"Nobody was hurt?", Namjoon asked eyeing the newbie to see if the boy's trying to hide any sign of injury.

"Yes, Appa. We didn't attack each other or anything. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to trigger that kind of reaction from the werewolves.", Jungkook answered, voice quivering, obviously shaken by the incident.

"Hush, my baby. It wasn't your fault. We're still getting used to each other's presence and temperaments. You didn't know Jimin would shift at the slightest trigger.", Seokjin said as he stroked the newbie's hair, trying to ease the tension.

Namjoon breathed a sigh of relief. At least Seokjin and Jungkook were fine.

"But what about the pups? Has Jimin shifted back to human form? Are they okay?"

"I haven't checked on them yet. It happened too fast. But they should be. I don't think there's anything to worry about.", Seokjin answered.

Namjoon observed the two before asking again questions.

"Are you sure? I see that you're trying your best to stay calm but I can tell that you're flustered for some reason. Did something else happened?"

Seokjin hesitated as if thinking if he should say more. In the end he just sighed before speaking again.

"It's the werewolves, Namjoon....

They can fly."

*****

"How can that be possible?", Namjoon hissed at Seokjin while pacing back and forth. The couple decided to have a private conversation in the study. They sent Jungkook up to his room after reassuring him that he's not in any trouble. They instructed him to leave the werewolves alone for now. They also checked up on the two pups and both are in human form, peacefully taking a nap so they decided not to bother them anymore.

"Wolves are quick and can leap extremely high but they do not fly. What kind of concoction did that mad scientist inject them?!"

"I know, Joon. I'm suspecting that there's more to them than just being wolves. Do you remember when Jimin cut his arms? It healed immediately. As far as we know, that's not something a werewolf can do. Even Jackson was impressed.", Seokjin added.

Namjoon stopped pacing to look at Seokjin.

"Those attributes aren't something you'd find in wolves. Those are some of the things that separate vampires from the rest."

Seokjin returned the look, handsome face laden with seriousness.

"Yes. I agree. So, what now? They're vampire-wolf hybrids? How did that doctor do that?"

Namjoon finally sat down beside his husband and rubbed his temples.

"If that's the case then we're screwed. Can you imagine their strength and power? How can we compete with that if the doctor suddenly decided to unleash his 'army'?"

Seokjin took Namjoon's hands to help him relax.

"Then that just means we need to work fast. We need to find them before they cause trouble.", Jin said firmly.

The younger leaned to his husband.

"I'm so confused.", he admitted. "We have so many questions but the pups don't seem to have any answers. Is this really just about longevity? Is the doctor really as kind and noble as Jimin and Tae make him out to be? What's going to happen when we finally find them? Are we going to war again?"

"Joon? Are you scared?", Seokjin asked surprised. Namjoon may be a clumsy giant but he's one of the strongest and fearless vampire Jin has ever come across. He's not used to seeing the younger look and sound so vulnerable.

Namjoon looked at his husband with wide eyes, panic very much visible in his face.

"I am. We've already gone to war, Seokjin. We know how bloody and horrible it is. We were lucky we survived it. But what about now? We're going against something invincible. How will we survive? I don't want anything bad to happen to you and Kookie."

The older smiled and kissed his husband's forehead.

"That's why we're preparing, right? I cannot guarantee that nothing will happen to any of us. But what I can guarantee is, just like before, we will fight and protect each other until the very end."
