Jimin's POV

Jungkook ran quickly, holding me tightly in his arms as he stopped briefly for a second or two, managing to shimmy down his sweatpants.

"Put these on." He demanded, his eyes stern yet wild. He set me down, allowing me to quickly pull on the oversized pants. I yelped as he picked me back up, running once more.

"What the hell is happening, Jungkook?" I asked, terrified. A crowd of women and children suddenly came into view, hurriedly rushing into some sort of underground bunker within a bed of trees.

"Hey, hey. You're going to be fine." Jungkook said as he set me down, grabbing my face and making me look at him intently. I grabbed his wrists and nodded and looked behind me at the others. "I have to go. I'll be back for you." He whispered, kissing me sweetly, then ran and shifted mid-run into his midnight black wolf.

A woman grabbed my arm suddenly, hurrying me into the bunker. I was led down a staircase, huddling against what felt like hundreds of women and children, only a few men in with me as well. They closed the door after the last few hurried in, locking it quickly and staring at the door.

"What is this? What's happening?" Someone asked. Women cried, held each other, and soothed their children. "Luna, Luna, what's happening?" Everyone started to ask, huddling around me. I stared at them, frantic.

Panicked, I reached up and grabbed the moonstone around my neck, whispering, "Help." My body collapsed on the floor as my mind elevated, rushing to the place of all white and warmth.

I looked around in the white of nothingness, desperate for some sign that she was coming to my aid. "What's happening?" I asked, looking around at the empty space.

"Your pack is at war." Her voice replied from somewhere far.

"What do I do?" I questioned.

"You tell them your pack is at war. You tell them you are safe and that you need to stay here until your Alpha comes." She shot me back to my body quickly, not letting me ask anything else.

I gasped and woke on the floor of the bunker, women trying to wake me. I slowly stood and stared at all of their anxious faces. They sat on the beds, holding each other and their children, staring at me quietly.

"We are at war." I finally said, trying to remember Her words. They let out sighs in disbelief, some of them starting to cry, turning to their friends for comfort; others shook their heads and a few sighed angrily.

"Why didn't we know this?" Someone shot.

I shook my head and blinked, "We never thought they would attack." I answered.

"Who's attacking us?" Another questioned.

"The Yang pack," I said softly.

They quieted and looked down. "We need to stay here for now. We're safe here. They'll come for us. when it's over." I assured them.

It was quiet for so long, only the murmurs of disbelief and upset filled my ears as I began to walk from person to person, making sure everyone was alright. I walked around to every woman, talking to them and getting to know them, comforting them and holding them, when a loud bang to the door made us look up with terrified eyes.

Another loud bang sounded and a few children began to cry. I had to do something. I looked up at the non-existent sky and took a deep breath before quickly walking up to the stairs and starting to climb them.

"Luna, no!" Women screamed as I climbed up the stairs and opened the lock quickly, swinging the door open. I rushed out, slamming the door on them and waiting for the lock to sound again.

I slowly turned, my heart beating wildly as I stared at the scene around me, wolves attacking wolves, slamming into trees, biting necks, murdering one another. I quickly looked to my left, a giant brown wolf barreling towards me.

I widened my eyes and quickly stuttered, "Fall and feel pain!". And just as Jin had done, the wolf dropped instantly, whimpering and whining.

I watched as it struggled on the snowy floor a little longer until slowly, but surely, its whimpering stopped and its eyes glazed over, its breathing stopped. My feet backed up in the snow as my eyes widened at what I'd just done. I looked around, crazed, staring at my pack fighting others.

One after another, I repeated the same words, all of the enemies falling, whining, and eventually, perishing.

The members of my pack slowly rose from their dead enemies, their giant wolf eyes staring at me as they realized I had killed all of their targets. I nodded at them confidently and started walking, finding another area filled with fighting, all of them following behind me.

One wolf ran towards me, his teeth bared and snarling. "Fall and pass," I whispered, my eyebrows furrowed. He dropped instantly, dying on the spot.

It was as if I was a human shield, protecting my pack behind me with just my words, and finally, we reached the giant opening where the main action was. I stared at it, a colossal rampage of wolves attacking one another. Blood spilled, howls cried, and death flashed before my eyes. I stared at it and looked at the wolves behind me.

"I'll take care of this," I said softly. I started to walk forward, calm and elegant, yet nervous and scared out of my mind as I was walking into a practical war zone.

I walked into the storm, fighting raging around me, yet, it was as if I was invisible. Wolves sprang around me, growling and grasping as I continued walking.

I eventually made it to the very center of the war zone, standing surrounded by wolves snarling, snapping, and killing. And then, I became visible to them.

All of the enemies turned and growled at me, one after another racing towards me, coming in for the kill. I stared at them, my human self terrified, but my Luna side possessed by something proud and unafraid. I closed my eyes and lifted my hands slightly next to my hips, tilting my head up to the sky as they rushed to me all at once.

"Fall," I demanded, loud and clear.

I felt no pain; no claws, no teeth, nothing. I was left standing, just myself in the field of battle as I stood untouched and unmarked. Slowly, I opened my eyes, staring at the scene before me. All of the enemy wolves had collapsed, lifeless and still, frozen dead on their sides.

The wolves from my pack stared at me, their eyes burning holes in the side of my head by the sorcery I had just completed.

I looked around, the battlefield quiet and still. I turned at the sound of running coming towards me, Jungkook's human self running towards me with wide eyes as he extended his arms and reached out, placing his hands on my shoulders to make sure I was alive and not hurt.

His eyes were dark and angry, and I felt as if I was about to be beaten. I stared at him as he pulled away and glowed lowly at me  "Don't you ever fucking do that again," He demanded, pointing his index finger at the floor, "Don't ever do that." He stated harshly.

I swallowed hard and looked down, avoiding his cold gaze. He turned to one of the wolves standing next to him who shifted instantly under his eyes. "Clean this mess up." He growled, making my hair stand on edge.

The man nodded and turned to the other wolves and men who stood dumbfounded. "Clean this up. Come on!" He demanded. They quickly got to work, leaving Jungkook and I standing in the middle of the field.

"Are you hurt?" He asked, looking me over, his eyes going a little bit softer.

"No," I said, staring up at him. His eyes scanned over me before looking back up to meet my eyes.

"You're getting too powerful." He growled, suddenly grabbing my arm and dragging me off of the field, marching us back home in a fit of anger.

"Jungkook!" I yelped, his tight grip around my arm hurting. He brought us inside of our home, staring at me with stern eyes after he let me go.

"You need to stop letting her take control. That's how oracles come to be. They talk to her too much." He grimaced.

I stared at him. "I didn't talk to her. She didn't control me. I saved our pack." I stated, making him stop his pacing and stare back at me.

"Jimin, if she wasn't there, you could have died. What then?" He asked,  infuriated.

I squinted my eyes at him, gently rubbing my arm where he had dragged me. "I saved this entire fucking pack! And you're concerned with how I could have died?" I all but yelled, making him growl.

"Don't you fucking blame me for being concerned about you." He said in a low, grating voice.

"I saved this entire pack from peril! You should be thanking me!"

He suddenly snapped, punching me hard across the face with a loud crack. I fell with a yelp, placing a hand over my cheek as it stung and ached from the pain. Everything went still and quiet.

"Jimin-" He started, regret filling his voice. Tears filled my eyes as I quickly scrambled to my feet and ran up the stairs, tripping over myself to run away. "Jimin!" Jungkook tried again.

I turned and stared at him from the top of the stairs, my eyes full of detestation and abhorrence. "I hate you." I seethed. He faltered a bit, his eyes flashing with something. I slammed the door.
