Chapter 25

Yoongi stares down at the young wolf, Seoho, with his familiar emotionless gleam. The older male has always been able to hide his emotions all too well, especially while being in emotional circumstances. Like now. He knew this day would come after weeks of training with the little wolf that eventually their would come a day where he will have to do this.

Where the little wolf will have to move forward and be the Alpha of his pack. This family of mixed species, and go on to continue pursuing what his seniors has taught them.

To put their foot down and free the species.

Even when they're one man down.

Yoongi doesn't like goodbyes, more so to his own species, but this is something he has to do. It was going to happen either way, and this definitely won't be the last time they'll see each other.

"What if they don't listen to me? Hongjoong was a far better leader and they all respected him," Seoho frowns deeply in his own self doubt, "What if I'm not good enough?"

The older male frowns down at the raven haired male, slowly reaching over and ruffling his hair, offering him a twitching smile, "You're good kid. They all voted for you, remember? Just do your part and get the job done."

The little wolf releases an animalic whine and Yoongi didn't hesitate from bringing him to his chest, wrapping his arms around him in a comforting embrace. The wolf shivers slightly from the warmth and slowly wraps his arms around Yoongi.

"Do it for X, do it for Hongjoong," Yoongi murmurs softly and pulls away, hands on his shoulders to Seoho can look into his eyes, "Just trust your instincts. I believe in you."

And that was all the little wolf needed to hear in order to feel a nudge of confidence. He manages to put on a grateful smile and nods, fixing his eyes to his family saying their last goodbyes to their own older species. All except a familiar dark haired man, who's meditating by a tree.

After giving Yoongi one last smile, the boy walks across the camp until he's standing right in front of Taehyung. The older man didn't notice the reluctant boy in front of him at first, not until he felt a soft nudge on his leg. His eyes snapped open, revealing their endless pitch black darkness before it slowly mellows down to a normal pair of eyes before looking up at Seoho.

The werewolf gulps thickly and extends out a hand, "I hope you can fight it off, you got a good family with you."

Taehyung didn't say anything, keeping his lips on a thin line with eyes flickering between Seoho's face and his hand before slowly clasping his large hands around it. The werewolf gasp slightly to hot his hand feels, reminding him of a familiar red haired fallen angel.

"So do you," Taehyung says lowly and retreats his hand back, "Protect them, all of them."

The depth in his words weigh down Seoho, knowing exactly what he means by that phrase and nods. Their his responsibility now, and he has to be strong as they go through his journey together, without the guidance of his new friends. So with that in mind, he turns and walks back to his group of friends, who are all ready to go in a group.

After one last departing wave, they vanished in thin air the young sorcerers magic.

Gone.

The seven of the males didn't move for a moment, only stared intently at the spot the little boys were as if they were going to reappear, but that never happened. It felt odd just not seeing their smaller reflection around anymore, off to doing big things, just like what they have been doing. Slowly one by one began to depart, going off to their train or pack up their stuff.

All except for Yoongi, who only let's his mind wonder to all the events that has happened for the past few weeks. Now that the kids are gone, they have bigger matters to deal with.

Taehyung's mark.

So far he's been settled, not bursting out in anger or an unnerving behavior as Beogyum has mentioned would happen. All thanks to Hongjoong's transfer of his abilities, it has calmed him down Taehyung to get more sense of control for a while. However it's been a difficult task controlling Jungkook lately.

Now that he knows about the mark, his angelic conscious is taking over a bit too strong whenever he's around the fallen angel. He attempted to kill him a few times, thankfully Taehyung was never alone whenever that happened. First Seokjin had to separate the two and then it was Namjoon. Jungkook has explained that it's almost like he blacks out, he doesn't know what he does until he's snapped out of it, in which involves literally attacking him. Since him and Taehyung are oddly connected, Jungkook feels that fire inside him and it drives his angelic abilities mad.

They're going to see if they can find a healer who's able to remove that virus from Taehyung's body, but they must find a place to stay first

After a while of them being in their lonesome silence and packing their stuff, they got into the truck and drove off. Yoongi is in the back with Taehyung, who's sleeping peacefully on his shoulder as the wind caress his brunette hair away from his tired face. Moments like these Yoongi just wants to run off into an oblivion and hope to stop existing. It's not even that he hates this tender moment with Taehyung, it's more so he feels too much.

He doesn't like feeling sensible or vulnerable.

And Taehyung makes him feel just that. Everyone has a specific way they make Yoongi feel; Jungkook makes him feel strong, Jimin makes him feel the need to be protective, Namjoon gives him hope for the future, Seokjin challenges him but in a good way, and Hoseok just makes him feel relaxed and laid back when things get tough.

And then there's Taehyung, who makes him feel just vulnerable and weak to emotions, to make him feel something more. Not like he's developing feelings, more so much more protective over the other male. Just to ease him from all of the disasters of the world.

Taehyung has suffered enough in this world, and even though his nature is to cause destruction and havoc in the world, there's more to him than just that.

After a few more moments of the drive through the highway, they finally arrive to a motel right when the sky shifted to twilight with pecks of stars glistening down at them. Yoongi felt hesitant about waking Taehyung up, so he didn't. Instead he pulled him closer, letting the warmth of his body feel like a soft pillow as he slowly slides them off the truck and carries Taehyung body.

If he didn't have his inhumane strength, he would definitely not be able to uphold the heavy man at all.

Yoongi waits as Namjoon and Jimin went to go get the keys to the room, trailing off to the direction once they came back and entered their room number. This room isn't any different as the rest; two beds, a tv, cabinets and a bathroom. It looks much more modern and cleaner than the past ones with a grey tile floor and ivory colored walls. The sheets matches the tile floor and the bathroom seemed too fancy for a motel.

Not like they were complaining.

Yoongi goes and sets Taehyung down on one of the beds, dimming the lights so it would disturb his eyes. Once they were all situated and settled in, they all got in a circle to discuss what the fuck they are going to do.

"The healer isn't too far away from here. She said she was willing check him out but probably won't be able to help him," Namjoon sighs in frustration, running his fingers through his hair, "I'm actually scared guys.... We can't lose him."

Hearing these words coming out of Namjoon just felt all too real. He's never afraid, or rather doesn't show or say it, but he's always strong hearted throughout this whole mission.

If he admits that he's afraid, this is serious, far too serious.

"We won't lose him," Hoseok comforts, rubbing his back from beside him, "We just have to keep him intact with his emotions or to himself, he has to know that he's not doing this alone."

Jimin glances at Taehyung, a heavy frown on his lips as he stares at the sleeping boy, "He promised me once that he will try to not grow his wings. He said that the second he grows his wings, it means he'll be out of control; More demonic than ever, and he doesn't want that," Jimin mumbles softly, grimacing to swallow back his unease, "I think that's what that thing wants, for him to grow his wings so he can control him. As long as Taehyung doesn't grow them, he won't be in his control."

Everyone stayed silent, taking in the siren's words carefully before Yoongi leans forward, "How will he grow his wings?"

Jimin stays silent, letting a single tear stream down his cheek before facing the rest, "What's more powerful than love? Hate...... He must hate those who he loves the most, and that will coil his heart into darkness."
