Yoongi.

I couldn't believe my eyes. They were here, even Jungkook. As they stepped out of the shadows, I thought I was hallucinating. And damn, Taehyung looked hot, half shifted, and I could see he was seething.

As he let out the howl and dashed towards the men holding me hostage for god knows how long, I couldn't help but feel confident. I pulled at my restraints again, trying to get them loose. The words from my first ice bath resonated in my head, 'We will run with you upon the stars, will howl with you through the night, and will fight by your side'.

I gathered all my strength, all the connections I made to the past in my subconscious state of dreaming in the icy water, and let out a howl that made the window panes clatter. I finally managed to only half shift, tearing the restraints apart and panting. I stood up and glanced at the chaos before me, wolves fighting.

Teeth and claws were flashing in the dim light, fur was flying around in loose balls, and my friends put their life at stake, for me. I looked around, only to see Jungkook standing by the door, looking a mixture between proud and about to shit his pants.

As he saw me, he ran towards me, avoiding the mess of claws and fur on the floor, and tugged me out of there.

"Kookie what are you doing?? They're still fighting! We, at least I, should help!" I said, looking back in disbelief. He just shook his head. "We made a pact. No matter what happens, getting you out of here is the top priority." He dragged me out of the building, the crisp and clean air finally filling my lungs again.

It was a welcoming change to the stuffy and dusty air inside the building, but I didn't have time to think about that right now. He dragged me to the end of the street, turning around a corner and I could finally see the familiar car.

He opened it with the keys, pulling me into the backseat with him, us both panting and scared. "I'm so glad you're okay" he finally whispered and pulled me into a tight hug. I winced because of the bruises I had hurt, but I hugged back, tears of joy escaping my eyes.

"I thought I'd die in there" I whispered, and he just pulled me closer at that. "You're safe now Yoonie. They're not gonna get you back" he whispered and I smiled.

"What do we do now?" I asked, backing away and staring at the empty street ahead of us. "Unfortunately, all we can do is wait" he sighed and looked to the street, waiting to see any sign of the others.

It felt like days passed, but it was only half an hour, as we saw Hoseok and Namjoon, running around the corner. Both naked, with scratches and bruises, but alive. They opened the trunk and put on some spare clothes which they kept there just in case and plopped into the car.

"Are you okay? Are the others okay?" I blurted out, sick with worry. "We don't know" Hoseok finally said. "WHAT?" I yelled.

"Calm down, Tae ordered us to leave, they're three of us against two of them right now," Namjoon said, panting. We fell silent, the silence eerie and tense. We saw something, better said someone shuffling around the corner.

It was Jimin and Seokjin, looking exhausted and as bad if not worse than the two wolves already waiting, but what shattered my heart was the figure slumped between them. Taehyung.

He didn't walk, the other two were supporting his full weight, his head hung on his chest, and his feet dragging lifelessly on the ground. "Oh my god" Jungkook whispered, but I couldn't say anything, couldn't feel, couldn't think.
