Seokjin didn't know what he was doing.

He won't remember half of what he does after he wakes up from a Full Moon transformation anyways.

So in the middle of the night, Seokjin begins to get his usual cravings to hunt and run and move, simply natural instincts that get more instilled on nights of the full moon, and as Namjoon snored softly while curling up into a little ball on the floor, Seokjin was busy peeing on the fucking living room floor and gnawing on all the furniture.

He had probably marked his scent everywhere at this point, by rubbing his coat and his body all over the carpet and the furniture, leaving tufts of fur everywhere, growls erupting from his throat as the need to protect his mate snapped into place and he ran back into Namjoon's room, instantly curling around Namjoon and licking his fingers.

"...n...no, no..." Namjoon giggled softly in his sleep and slowly turned, hands curling into Seokjin's fluffy chest, the werewolf's ears standing erect on his head, tail wagging as he licked and prodded his wet nose onto Namjoon's cheeks.

"My mate," Seokjin growled out, eyes flickering a dark gold and he darted his gaze around, "this is my mate."

And after approximately two minutes of dedicated protection, Seokjin slumped over and fell asleep as well, lulled by Namjoon's thumping heartbeat and gentle, adorable snores.

"Where do you think he ran off to?"

Jisoo stared at Jimin with a level expression and sighed. "Where do you think he ran off to, Jimin? Isn't it obvious?" She nosed past Tae, who was hopping along the floor of her den excitedly. "Namjoon's gone, Seokjin's gone. The full moon is out, and we can't even go through traditions because he's not present and he killed Mei in Trial."

Jimin flinched. "B-but he'll still be the alpha, right...?" He murmured nervously, bringing Rose and Tae close to his chest. Rose's nose twitched, and she rubbed her snout against Jimin's arm with curiosity, wondering what her skin would feel like in her human form.

Jisoo was silent, and looked away, rummaging through her herb stock. "I don't know." She admitted and Jimin's gaze flickered with alarm. "I'm not too sure on what the conditions of our ancestors are right now."

"So what do we do?" Jimin squeaked. "The pack...the pack will kick him out! And he'll become a rouge!" Jimin started panicking, and both Rose and Tae stared at their father weirdly. "And then they'll kick me out too! For being related to him—!"

"Jimin, stop being so rash."

Jimin closed his eyes and tensed, recognizing the deep voice instantly and only allowing himself to relax once he felt Taehyung's embrace surround him. He melted back into the sub-alpha's chest and whimpered softly, and Taehyung sent Jisoo an apologetic look.

"Sorry about his rants," Taehyung gave a warm smile and Jisoo just nodded, "he always acts like this before he hits heat."

Jimin's cheeks flushed. "N-no!"

"Jimin, I know your heat symptoms like the back of my hand!"

"No you don't! It's not! Stop embarrassing me..!"

"Oh, please, as if you don't beg for my dick to be inside of you every time you're in heat—"

"THERE ARE PUPS PRESENT YOU IDIOT!"

And while Taehyung and Jimin bickered, with Jimin eventually getting too hot-headed and nearly biting his mate's head off while angrily wriggling back against his hold, Jisoo got up and went outside to contemplate whether she should go and speak to her ancestors about Seokjin's behavior and consequences, or to let the dumb wolf figure it out himself.
