I froze when I saw the smoke coming into my room. I slowly moved towards my door and placed my hands on it to see if it was hot and that was when I noticed that the smoke didn't smell like smoke, but had a floral scent to it. I ran to my closet and grabbed a t-shirt. Covering my mouth, I opened the door. I heard shouting coming from downstairs and people moving around, but couldn't see anything through the smoke. I started to hear something coming from down the hall and I made my way towards it. The outline of a couple people could be seen as I got closer and it looked like someone had Willa pinned to the ground. I grabbed the closest thing to me, a painting on the wall, and smashed it over the stranger's head, causing his body to go limp. I helped push him off of Willa and knelt down beside her.

"Thank you." She was breathing hard and looked exhausted.

"What is happening? Who is that?" She started coughing and was looking around. Her eyes fell on someone unconscious on the floor not too far away. She started crawling towards them as she answered me.

"No idea." I followed her and found that Yoongi was the one she crawled to. She put her ear on his chest. "Help me move him." She started coughing more and more and was visibly weak. We pulled Yoongi into the nearest room and closed the door. I came over to Willa.

"You don't look ok. What's wrong?" I could tell she was having a hard time breathing and kept coughing. She refused to let go of Yoongi's limp hand.

"Wolfsbane." She said weakly.

"What is that?" I asked, moving over to Yoongi to see if I could help at all.

"It's a flower that is poisonous to us. We can't shift when it's in our system and it makes us weak." That's why the smoke smells like flowers. I tried to find Yoongi's pulse and when I did, it was very weak. "He got hit on the head." Willa said. There were so many thoughts going through my head right now. Someone attacked us and people were getting hurt. Whoever this was knew exactly how to hurt the pack. Then, I panicked. Taehyung! I had to find him! I put my hands on Willa's cheeks.

"I need to help. Will you be ok?" She slowly nodded her head as I opened the door and then closed it behind myself. I put the t-shirt back over my mouth and slowly walked through the hall. I saw a figure coming towards me and I knelt down trying to not be seen, but ready to fight whoever it was.

"Alanna?" I heard the voice say.

"Taehyung!" I ran towards him and wrapped my arms around his waist. He immediately wrapped his around my shoulders and pulled me close.

"Thank god!" He kissed the top of my head and pulled me into the nearest room which happened to be the one I just came out of. We walked in and he closed the door. He then started coughing as well and put his hands on his knees trying to catch his breath. I put my hand on his back.

"Are you ok?" He stood up and looked at me with a serious expression.

"I'm ok." He turned and saw Yoongi and Willa. "Is he ok?"

"He will be." Willa said in a rough tone. Her coughing was becoming less, but I could tell that she was a little hoarse. Taehyung looked back at me.

"Stay here and don't leave until I come and get you." He started walking towards the door, but I was quick on his heels.

"What? No! I am coming with you." I shouted.

"No! You are staying here!" I saw his brown eyes flash gold for a second and I was filled with a sense of obedience that I could not fight as his voice echoed through my whole body. I was scared, but it definitely surprised me. The feeling quickly faded however.

"I can help." I didn't shout but I was firm in my statement. I saw him lower his head and come towards me, putting his hands on my shoulders.

"I need to protect the pack and to do that I need you here." He said softly.

"But who will protect you?" I felt my eyes start to water a little and I could see the hurt in Taehyung's eyes. He backed away and turned towards Willa.

"She does not leave this room." His eyes flashed gold as his voice echoed through my chest once again and I saw Willa react in a very obedient way. Without looking at me, he walked towards the door and left. I tried to follow, but Willa was quick to her feet and held me back.

"Willa move!" I tried to remove her arms from my shoulders.

"I can't do that Alanna." She was firm in her voice.

"And why not?" I stepped back looking at her.

"Alpha's orders."

"Ugh fine!" I looked around and saw that this room had a private bathroom. I walked inside trying to find a first aid kit as well as some towels. I managed to also find a glass by the sink and filled it with water. I brought everything out and set it down by Yoongi, but a towel under his head. I handed the glass of water to Willa.

"Drink this." She did as I asked and then I went back to Yoongi. He had some cuts on his face and I felt his head, thankfully I didn't find that his head was bleeding, but I did find a giant goose-egg. That must have been where he got hit. His knuckles were scrapped a bit, but nothing too bad. Hopefully Jin can help him...if Jin is ok. I then went to Willa and sat down in front of her.

"Are you hurt anywhere?" She lifted her sleeve showing me that she had a small cut on her arm. It did look deep enough that I figured it would take a while to heal. I got some bandages out and wrapped her arm up. We sat in silence for the next 15 minutes, but it felt like hours. It had been a little over a week and I was worried for everyone. I thought it funny how I could be so worried about people I barely knew, but then again, I felt like I did know them. I couldn't sit anymore so I stood up. Willia stood up as well and watched me.

"I promise I'm not going anywhere." She slowly sat back down as I started pacing the room, biting my nails. I was nervous as I couldn't really hear anything anyway. A couple minutes later, we heard someone coming walking down the hall as the footsteps got louder and I froze with my eyes glued to the door wondering who was going to walk in. I saw the door open and in walked a man with black hair that was wet with sweat and sticking to his face. He had some cuts on his face and he looked exhausted. I ran to him and pushed him back a little, angry.

"How dare you try to order me around." I shoved him again. "How dare you order Willa to keep me here." another shove. "I am not a weak human girl!" I shouted at him. He stood there very stoic taking every push that I gave him.

"Are you done?" He said calmly.

"No!" I yelled back and he waited. My face softened as I looked at the blood dripping down his face and the exhaustion in his eyes. "Are you ok?" I asked and I felt my eyes begin to water again. He walked towards me and wrapped his arms around me as I did the same to him. He kissed my cheek and then whispered in my ear.

"I'm sorry." I squeezed him tighter and I felt how guilty he was, but how scared he actually had been as well. He didn't want me to get hurt and he was worried about his pack members. He knew that the best way to keep me safe, was to keep me away from everything. I was still a little angry, but I understood. He pulled away just slightly.

"Let's get him downstairs." He then let me go and walked over to Yoongi, bending down to pick him up.

"How is everyone?" Willa asked, very concerned. I could tell that Taehyung was having a harder time than usual picking Yoongi up as he finally managed to fireman carry him out of the room.

"I know that Jin, Namjoon, and Jungkook are ok as well as Hosek. Dakota and Jimin ran after one of them into the forest so all of them went to find them."

We reached the living room and Taehyung put Yoongi down on the couch. Not sure if it was all the moving around, but Yoongi started to groan and move a little. Willa ran to him and grabbed his hand.

"Hi hunny. I'm here." I could see tears running down Willa's cheek and I was moved by the love I saw that she had for him. Yoongi didn't say anything, but he knew she was there.

We heard the front door slam open and voices shouting.

"Put him in the living room. Hosek, I need towels. Dakota, grab my kit from our room." Jin shouted. We saw a very tired Jungkook carrying Jimin in his arms. Jimin was holding his stomach and groaning in pain. I could see the blood dripping from Jimin's mouth and soaking his shirt. Jungkook laid him carefully on the ground as Jin hovered over him. Taehyung knelt on the other side of Jimin and grabbed his hand, he looked at Jin.

"How bad is it?" He asked Jin. Dakota then ran in and everyone got out of her way. She set down a bag by Jin and he started looking through it.

"The biggest issue is getting the bullet out. Then, I can try to see what kind of damage we are dealing with." Taehyung nodded towards him and put his hands on Jimin's head.

"Hey, I'm just going to try to lessen the pain for you ok? Just relax." I saw as Taehyung closed his eyes and Jimin looked extremely calm. I knelt next to Jin.

"How can I help?" I saw him pull out some forceps and grab some rags.

"It's going to bleed alot while I try to do this. Just keep dabbing it so it doesn't pool up too much." I nodded and took the rags from him. He grabbed a pair of scissors and cut Jimin's shirt off. He took the forceps and tried to find the bullet to take out. I did as he asked and became even more worried as Jimin lost more and more blood. Not too long had passed when Jin slowly retracted the forceps and a bullet could be seen. We all silently cheered and he handed them to Dakota. He placed his hands over Jimin's stomach and his palms started to glow. He then stopped and took a deep breath. Taehyung then looked over at him.

"It's not terrible, but it's not good. I can only do so much for tonight and then he will need to heal on his own." Jin looked a little defeated and Taehyung was frustrated. I looked at Jimin who was becoming even more pale by the second.

"Use me." As soon as the words left my mouth, everyone's eyes shot over to me.

"This is more than just a cut and bloody nose. This is a bullet wound and he has lost a lot of blood. I don't know how much it will take." Jin said.

"So take what you need from me and then give him what you got. Whatever isn't healed by you, he can heal on his own right? Plus, there are still people who need you" I looked at Jin and then Taehyung looked at me.

"Alanna." I could tell he was worried and he didn't want me to do this.

"Let me help, please." He understood that I needed to do this and nodded towards Jin giving him the approval. I placed my hand on Jin's shoulder as he stretched his hands over Jimin, as they started to glow very bright. I felt the energy start to leave me ,but I held strong so as not to alert the others. I slowly watched the wound close and color come back to Jimin's face. I started to see small black dots as everything got brighter. I blinked my eyes to stay awake and held tight to Jin's shoulder. I saw his glow disappear as Jin reached up for my hand and took it off his shoulder whispering to me.

"He's ok. You did good." He smiled at me and put his hands back over Jimin. I felt arms around my waist as I was pulled away from Jimin and Jin. Dakota took my place next to Jin and I looked back to see Taehyung smiling. We were still on the ground as I sat in between his outstretched legs. I was drained and tired, but not that dizzy. His arms held my closer and tighter as he leaned down to kiss the side of my head whispering, "Thank you." I placed my hands on his and without saying anything, I let him know that he would never have to thank me for helping my friends, my family.

Jimin slowly started to sit up once Jin was down and he looked good as new. Dakota wrapped her arms around his neck as Jimin chuckled a little. Jin didn't look too tired as he walked over to Yoongi placing a hand on his head. It took only about a minute before Yoongi sat up enveloping Willa in a hug, wiping her tears from her cheeks. Jin was tired so he sat down while Dakota tended to small cuts that everyone had. I finally felt as if I had some energy and started to stand up before Taehyung pulled me back down.

"Sit, you need to rest."

"I feel better, honestly." I looked back at him, but I could tell he didn't believe me. I put a hand on his cheek and let him feel what I was feeling. He finally nodded and let me get up. I went over to where Dakota was and grabbed some bandages and alcohol wipes. Walking back over to Taehyung, I saw how worried and tired he was. I don't know who attacked us, but I knew that he did. I knelt down in front of him and pushed his hair back revealing a cut that went into his hairline. I saw he had a split lip as well as bruised and cut up knuckles. I took the alcohol pad out and dabbed at the cut of his head. I noticed as he watched my every move. I placed a bandage on his head and then put some ointment on his lip. I grabbed his hands and looked at them.

"I can't really do much for this, but you will be sore in the morning." He continued to stare at me not saying a word. "Earth to Taehyung." I clicked my fingers in front of his eyes as he blinked and then just smiled.

"Thanks." He said as he stood up. He turned towards everyone in the room. Thankfully everyone was awake, exhausted, but awake and alive! "James's pack isn't expecting us until next week, but with what just happened, we need some help. We will leave first thing in the morning so please, get some rest."

"Who did this Alpha?" Willa asked. I was dying to know as well and waited for Taehyung's response.

"I can't say for sure, but I'm thinking this was the Daeva. I'm not sure how they found us especially since we still have yet to find them." Taehyung looked annoyed. "Have your bags packed and ready to go by 8AM." Everyone started to get up and leave as Taehyung went over to Jungkook and Hosek and talked with them about something. I helped Dakota get Jin upstairs as he was also completely drained. Once we got him to their room and on the bed Dakota let me know that she was good and that I could head to bed. I went to my room and found a larger bag in my closet. I started to grab a couple change of clothes and things I would need. As I was packing I heard someone knock on my open door and come in.

"Hey" Taehyung said.

"Hey." He walked over to me and looked at the bag that I was packing.

"Got everything?"

"I think so. How long are we staying?"

"Honestly, I am not sure, but I know James and he won't try to kick us out at all." He started to laugh and then grabbed his side wincing in pain. As soon as he did that, he realized how obvious he was and tried to play it off as nothing happened. I saw exactly what had happened and went over to him lifting his shirt. He tried to pull it down. "I'm fine Alanna."

"Like hell you are. Move your hands...now." He did as I said and I lifted his shirt. I saw the bruising that was forming and immediately my mind went to broken ribs. I looked up at him with a serious face. "Why didn't you tell Jin?" I grabbed his arm and led him to bed, motioning for him to sit down.

"He had enough to worry about." I shook my head in disapproval.

"Stay here I'll be right back." I walked out and to Jin and Dakota's room, knocking quietly. Dakota answered, pulling the door open just a little.

"I need a compression bandage. Does Jin have any?" She nodded and disappeared for a moment before returning again and handing it over.

"Who's hurt?"

"I think Taehyung has a couple broken ribs." Dakota shook her head and rolled her eyes.

"I'll get Jin to take a look at him in the morning."

"Thank you." I walked away as she closed the door. I then quickly went to the kitchen to find an ice pack before returning to my room. I found Taehyung still sitting on the edge of my bed, right where I had left him. "Arms up." He slowly lifted his arms and I could tell that it hurt him to do so. I carefully lifted his shirt up and over his head. I took the bandage and wrapped his torso. Then, I placed the ice pack on his side and tucked it into some of the bandage. I then stood straight in front of him and felt his head lean forward and hit my stomach while his hand gently grabbed my arm. I took my free hand and rubbed the back of his head and I bent over just a little so that my cheek laid on top of his head.

He was scared, confused, angry, and happy all at once. I let him know that I was here for him and he could relax. I felt him get a little calmer as sadness overtook him. I knelt down and pulled his head up so he was looking at me. My heart broke when I saw the tears on his cheeks and his eyes red. I whipped his tears away with my thumbs as I looked into his eyes letting him know everything was ok.

"I couldn't protect them Alanna. I couldn't find them in time to protect my family." He tried to lower his head, but I forced him to look at me.

"Everyone is alive and well right now. You did all that you could do. We will find them ok. I will help you."

"I'm sorry I tried to command you." The guilt, fear, and sadness was overwhelming that I couldn't help but to cry as well. I didn't know what to say to help him feel better so instead I leaned in and kissed him. He grabbed the back of my head and held me closer as I felt his fear of losing me. I pulled back just a little and whispered.

"I'm right here. You're not getting rid of me that easily." He chuckled a little and I did too. He kissed me again, slowly and then pulled away resting his forehead on mine.

"You need to rest." He said as I stood up and looked at him.

"So do you." I held out my hand as he stood up and put a hand on my cheek. He kissed my forehead, grabbed his shirt and then left. For the first time since being here, I actually felt empty without him near me.

A/N: Things are getting tough for the pack so time to call reinforcements! Do you think the other pack with help them? Will they have the answers that Taehyung and Alanna are looking for?

A thank you and apology to GalxyDefendr who picked a random character for me. I couldn't decide who was going to be shot so I made her pick. FYI she had no idea why I told her to pick someone.
