Merric jumped to his feet in a second and glared harshly over at Yoongi, who was looking quite pleased with what had happened. Then Merric's eyes trailed over to Namjoon and he let out a growl.

"Hyung, what are you doing?" Jimin asked confused. Namjoon turned to him with a small smirk.

"Saving you. We heard news about some crazy guy trying to get in and thought we should come check things out," he replied.

"And it's a good thing we did. Otherwise you might've had some trouble with the dog," Yoongi cut in while nodding over at Merric.

"I'm right here you know," Merric said through gritted teeth. You felt a shiver go down your spine. You've never seen Merric this pissed before, ever.

"I know," Yoongi said nonchalantly. If Yoongi was trying to make Merric explode, he was definitely on the right track.

Merric dashed forward to attack and Namjoon raised his fist at lightning speed. Namjoon's fist hit Merric's face at rapid speed, but, unexpectedly, Namjoon was grabbed tightly by Merric. Suddenly a scream was heard and Namjoon was down on his knees, a hand clutching at his shoulder. Jimin's eyes widened and he rushed to kneel beside the older man.

"Hyung! Oh my god!" Jimin's hands were shaking and he looked terrified. Yoongi, who was standing behind them, had dark eyes full of hatred.

"You're dead now," he muttered threateningly.

Merric whipped around and rushed to you, grabbing onto your arm tightly. Suddenly he was running away, dragging you with him. He was moving at an insane speed, you were surprised you hadn't fallen by now. After a few minutes you snapped out of your shock and began punching at his arm and yelling at him.

"Let me go asshole! Stop running or else I'll jump on you!" you screamed.

"Do it then, it'll be easier than dragging you like this," Merric called over his shoulder. You were about to attempt to bite him when another idea popped into your head.

You stuck your heels into the ground and allowed yourself to fall onto the ground. Your pants were definitely going to be ruined, which sucked, but you were successful in stopping Merric. Your arm flew out of his grasp and he stumbled a few steps before turning around and stalking over to you.

"Not funny (Y/n), let's go," he ordered.

"I'm not going with you!"

"What can I do to make you come then?!" he asked while clutching at his hair tightly. You searched through your mind for a good enough distraction.

"Answer my questions," you said. Merric looked a little hesitant, but then let out a defeated sigh.

"Fine."

"Alright, firstly, how long have you been a werewolf?" you asked.

"My whole life. Born a werewolf and raised by them too," he answered.

"How did you find me?" you questioned. This was probably the answer you were actually curious about. You assumed he might've used his werewolf skills to tract you by scent, but he could've easily done that the moment you disappeared. So why did he show up now?

"I'll be honest, I was really hoping you had been telling the truth about being safe. I knew being with a friend was a lie, but I thought maybe, just maybe, you were actually somewhere trustworthy.

"There was some big party thing going on a few nights ago and one of the members of my pack attended it. He told me that he had seen you there and actually bumped into you. He must've seen you in some pictures I have of us, because he's never met you or anything like that so you probably didn't realize you ran into him," Merric explained.

So that would mean that the man you literally ran into was Merric's friend then. And the werewolf scent Jimin and Taehyung smelt was from that guy.

"He told me he saw you with two different vampires and that's when I decided I would go after you. I wasn't going to let you hang around them, especially when I learned that they were both pure-bloods," he added in a disappointed tone. "So I tracked you down by your scent and was led here."

"So you tracked me similar to a—," you began.

"I swear to God if you call me a fucking dog we are done and I'm just gonna continue dragging you back home (Y/n)," Merric snarled. You pursed your lips and tried to think of something else you could ask.

"Okay, what did you do to Namjoon?" you asked. Merric laughed lightly and looked up proudly.

"I bit him."

You felt your jaw drop open. Merric thought this was funny?

"What the hell Merric?! I am not leaving with you, we are going back this instant and you are going to fix him!" you seethed while stomping in the direction you came from.

"Why the hell would I go with you?" he asked while crossing his arms.

"Because Namjoon is going to die!" You shrieked. Merric looked at you with a blank expression.

"So?"

You were appalled. You felt disgusted. What happened to the Merric you knew and loved?

"Who the hell are you?" you asked in disbelief. Merric's eyes flashed with rage.

"What the hell do you expect me to do (Y/n)?! He's my enemy! Why the fuck would I care if he died?! It just makes things easier for my people!" he yelled. "Their kind have killed so many of mine, I'm just getting them back!"

"Merric just because vampires in general have killed werewolves doesn't mean Namjoon has! You can't just kill him for the other vampire's mistakes! He doesn't deserve that!" you argued.

"How would you know if he killed them or not?!"

"I don't! But you can't just assume he has. Maybe he hasn't!" you barked back.

Merric pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed out heavily.

"Arguing is getting us no where," he muttered.

"Agreed. Now let's go back to Namjoon," you said slowly stepping to the direction of the house. Merric looked up furiously.

"I still don't see why I have to do this," he grumbled. You stopped and turned to face him with a deadly glare.

"Because if you don't we won't be friends anymore," you said seriously. Hurt flashed through Merric's eyes for a split second but you could care less. He put himself in this situation.

"Let's go," was all you said before turning around and walking back to the house in silence, with Merric trailing behind you like a lost puppy.

When you returned, Namjoon was laying on the doorsteps with his shoulder revealed. This gave you a clean look at the terrible bite in his shoulder. It was deep and there was a dark liquid seeping from it, something that wasn't blood. A thin layer of sweat covered Namjoon's body and he looked like he was in pain. Yoongi was standing up, looking over at Merric with a "You're going to be dead once this is over" look. Jimin was sitting by Namjoon's side with worry etched into his face and looking off in the distance, probably caught up in his thoughts. When he saw you coming their way, relief washed over his face and he leapt up to drag you into an embrace.

"Are you okay?" he whispered into your ear. You pulled back from the hug to look him in the eyes and gave him a nod. Then you turned to Merric, who had a sulky expression while watching you and Jimin.

"Go over and help him," you demanded. Merric looked like he wanted to argue, but he gave a quick glance at Yoongi and was already taking large steps over to Namjoon's side. You went over to the tall man too, dragging a worrying Jimin with you.

Merric pulled down his sleeve and stared at Namjoon for a few seconds, as if contemplating whether he should actually help him or not.

"Staring at him is not going to heal the bite any faster, mutt," Yoongi muttered.

Merric glared up at him before looking at Namjoon again. Then he brought his wrist to his mouth and bit into it, drawing blood and causing some to drip down his arm. You felt Jimin squeeze at you arm and you patted his hand comfortingly. Merric pulled back, blood smeared around his mouth, and moved to sit behind Namjoon, with his head leaning against Merric's chest. Merric brought his bitten wrist up to Namjoon's lips.

"Drink this," Merric instructed. Namjoon eyes turned red with crack-like marks appearing at the edges and latched onto the wrist, beginning to suck the blood out of the wound. He drank for a minute and then Merric decided Namjoon had enough and pulled his wrist away. Merric immediately moved away from the vampire and covered his wrist up again, looking extremely disappointed with what he had just done.

"Hyung, how do you feel?" Jimin asked hesitantly. Namjoon gave him a smile and jumped to his feet.

"I'm as good as new," he said while stretching out his arms. He dropped them to his side quickly and turned to look at Merric.

"Thank you," he said. Merric just rolled his eyes.

"Believe me, I wouldn't have done it if it weren't for her," he said while pointing at you. "For all I care you could've died, but she wouldn't let me leave you like that. So thank her, not me."

Namjoon glanced at you with a warm smile. "Thank you (Y/n)."

"It was nothing. There's no way I could leave you to die like that," you said softly. You clasped your hands together in front of you and stared at the ground, embarrassed.

"Now that Namjoon has been taken care of, I think it's time for the wolf to receive his punishment," Yoongi said while cracking his knuckles threateningly. Merric hopped to his feet and began walking to you.

"No, I'm going to leave now and I'll be taking (Y/n) with me," he said casually while reaching out a hand to grab your arm.

But he was never able to. In the next moment your hand made contact with his face in a harsh slap, stunning him and causing him to halt all movements. His eyes flicked up to meet your eyes, an expression of disbelief clear on his face. You stared at Merric hard and crossed your arms, trying to hide your hand that was beginning to sting from how hard you had slapped him.

"That's what you get for biting him," you said. Merric looked slightly puzzled.

"You do realize I just saved his life, right? I did exactly what you wanted," he said through gritted teeth. You could tell he was getting annoyed.

"Yeah, and you wouldn't have had to if you hadn't bitten Namjoon in the first place," you shot back. You took a step closer to Merric.

"I am not going anywhere with you, so leave," you told him. Merric was furious and he let out a loud groan before suddenly punching the ground, making you jump a little.

"God! You are so annoying sometimes! I swear I just want to...argh," he yelled, completely enraged. You felt an arm wrap around your waist and you were pulled into a strong chest. You turned your head slightly to see Jimin looking at Merric with a challenging look, as if saying "I dare you to try and take her".

"I hope you realize what she's offering you is a much better choice then what I think you should be getting," Yoongi spoke up while descending the doorsteps and walking closer to Merric.

"What do you mean 'what she's offering'?" Merric asked with raised eyebrows.

"Well, here are your choices: either you leave without her, like she wants, or you can stay here and deal with me," Yoongi replied.

"And if you choose the latter, then I hope you have a high tolerance for pain," Yoongi added with a dark grin. You saw Merric visibly shudder.

"I'm not trying to help you or anything, but believe me when I say he doesn't hold back," Namjoon mentioned while jabbing his thumb in the black-haired man's direction. Merric switched between looking at Yoongi and you before letting out a frustrated sigh.

"Why do you want to stay here?" he asked exasperated.

"Because I have friends here, and I actually like Jimin. He's a good person and very kind," you answered truthfully. Merric looked at Jimin with what you thought was an envious look.

"I don't trust you," he stated. Suddenly Jimin brought you closer to his side, squeezing you against him tightly, and you felt your cheeks heat up.

"She's safe with me, I assure you that," he said right near your ear, giving you shivers down your spine. Although you just wanted to hide your face, you found the strength to gaze at Merric; his face showed sadness and hurt.

"Fine. I'll go then," he said, defeated.

"Namjoon-hyung, could you get Clarisse?" Jimin asked while pulling away from you to turn to the older man, leaving you slightly disappointed. Namjoon nodded before entering the house and coming back out, not even a minute later, with the woman.

"Get help to escort the werewolf out please" Jimin ordered. Clarisse nodded and disappeared into the house to grab backup. She returned with burly looking men that surrounded Merric as if he was planning on escaping them. Merric looked irritated but didn't say anything. He looked at you one last time before turning away and walking towards the gates to the estate.

You watched as he walked away and felt somewhat bad. You knew he just wanted to protect you and make sure you were safe. But you didn't appreciate him making decisions for you and trying to control you.

Jimin let out a sigh and turned to look at the two older men. "Sorry about that. How about we get back to business now?"
