Chapter 33 | We'll Protect You

The living room was silent. The only sound that could be heard was the downpouring of rain hitting the window.

Every member of the pack was deep in their own thoughts. They were all enraged. They were all extremely in awe of how you had opened up to them about the worst day of your life. It took courage and strength.

Seokjin and Yoongi were the ones who were able to hide their anger. But there was no mistaking the rage that was behind their eyes. They were just able to keep a poker face better than the younger Hybrids.

They were both extremely angry at the thing you had to go through at the young age of 14. You should have been gossiping about boys with your friends. The only worry you should have had at that age is what to wear and homework. Not this.

Hoseok, Namjoon, Jimin, and Jungkook didn't even bother to hide the anger that was forming on their face. They didn't feel the need to.

Hoseok was irritated more than anything. Knowing that you were forced to live with the trauma because of one of them. It disgusted him more than anything.

Jungkook felt terrible. He understood why you had such a bad reaction to him when he started his rut. He wanted to throw up. He almost did the exact same thing as that monster.

Namjoon and Jimin were more determined than ever. They knew the Hybrid's name. It was going to be easy to track him down. They were going to find him and make him pay. Not only for the trauma that Seunghee had to face but also for causing yours.

Moments later, all six of them left the living room one by one. Needing some time on their own to think.

You got out of the shower. It was a strange feeling. You felt lighter. As if the burden on your chest was gone. After you told your mates about your trauma, you excused yourself to be by yourself. After the emotional day, you just wanted to just sleep. You were exhausted.

Much to your delight, the Hybrids seemed to be more than understanding about your want to just be alone for the night.

Well, except for Taehyung.

For some reason, Taehyung seemed to be the one that was most affected by your past and he insisted that he stay by your side. In his words: "It's my day to look after you, so I'm going to look after you."

You felt so blessed to have such understanding mates. They comforted you more than anyone.

After drying yourself and putting on your sleepwear, you walked into your room. Taehyung was already lying down on your bed.

When he heard you open the bathroom door that was linked to your room, his head popped up. He finally was able to smell you. The sweet smell of strawberries. Mate.

"You know you still owe me a scenting session," he said quietly. He looked up at you with literal puppy dog eyes. And you couldn't help but melt at it.

"Alright," you said.

Excitedly, he patted the space beside him. Inviting you into your bed with him. You plopped down on the bed and immediately, Taehyung's arms wrapped around your waist as he pulled you closer to him.

Almost as a response to his action, you turned around so that you were facing Taehyung. He didn't waste any time scenting you.

Your scent was intoxicating him. And as soon as he smelled you, it was like instinct. He needed to scent and he needed to do it now.

He was just scenting you but something just felt... very sensual. He took his time rubbing his sweat glands to yours. It was almost as if he wanted to feel every inch of your neck. You could feel that you were red in the face. You didn't really know what to do with your hands, so you kept them by your side, gripping your sheets.

After he was satisfied, he let out a contented sigh. 

"Are you okay?" He asked softly as he ran his finger through your hair. Something that always seemed to calm him down.

"Yeah," you admitted. "It was hard to remember all of that again, but I feel lighter after getting that off my chest. You know, you guys are the only ones outside of Minho oppa, Sihyuk ahjussi, Sungjae, and Eunwoo who know about my past. Not even Hyojung unnie knows."

"Hm," he hummed as he brought you closer to his embrace. "Thank you for trusting us with your story."

"Thank you for listening," you said as your eyes began to close.

"Y/N-ah," Taehyung's voice was full of certainty and strength. "I promise you that we will do everything we can to protect you from that Hybrid."

"I know," you said, snuggling closer to him.

Namjoon was looking through the internet, trying to find everything he can about Hwang Chanseong. So far, he couldn't find anything on social media. It was like the Hybrid was very private with his life. Which didn't surprise the Wolf Hybrid.

He would have gone to jail for the sexual assault against a minor. But the law in Korea protected the names of any person who went to jail. So Namjoon couldn't really find anything publically on Chanseong. He should have had access to the file since he was a detective, but to his surprise, it was filed under classified with special request cases. It was above his ranks and he wouldn't be able to open it without Chief Bang's permission.

Namjoon was so tempted to call Chief Bang but it was already really late in the night. So he made a mental note to ask Chief Bang, first thing when he went in for work.

He didn't know how long he was on the internet but he was sure that he didn't sleep for the entire night. Suddenly, his phone rang. Before the first ring ended, Namjoon already picked up the phone.

"Hello?" Namjoon spoked. Immediately, he got up on his feet. "Yes, sir. Jimin and I will be on our way."

He rushed to Jimin's room. Knocking on the door frantically.

"What is it hyung?" Jimin asked as he rubbed his eyes.

"We need to go," Namjoon spoke with a sense of urgency. But he kept his voice quiet as the entire house was sleeping. "They just found a mass grave of Hybrids."

"What?!" Jimin yelled in a whisper, not wanting to wake anyone up. "Where?"

"Near the location where Hyojung-ssi hit Seunghee-ssi."

"Son of a bitch."
