Jimin
The three of us arrived at what looked to be like a very large house, maybe even a mansion. I could not help but pause slightly, wondering who this woman was.
‘I’ll explain everything soon,’ she said, almost as if she was reading my thoughts. I nodded as I helped her take him inside.
She led me to the living room where we placed Taehyung on the couch. He groaned in pain as his hand, which was covered in blood pressed onto the wound.
I whimpered, unable to help myself as I kneeled down next to him. I grabbed his hand and brought it to my mouth as I kissed each knuckle.
‘It’s going to be okay love,’ I said in an attempt to soothe him. He looked at me and smiled.
‘Of course it will, you know me, but you have to stop crying,’ he said. I scoffed, unable to do as he asked.
‘I’m sorry I’m such a cry baby and I’m so sorry for being so weak that you had to protect me,’ I said but he shook his head.
‘I take great pride in being able to protect you Chim. There won’t be a day where I don’t protect you because I love you,’ he said.
‘But you got shot! With a silver bullet Taehyung!’ I yelled but he just smiled. ‘Why won’t you take this seriously? A silver bullet could kill you!’ I said.
‘Because I love you,’ he repeated. ‘Please stop worrying. You heard our soulmate, she can heal me,’ he said with looked like a proud smile.
There it was – that smile I adored so much. Even though he was in pain, he was trying to hide just so not to worry me. I looked back to where I had last seen her but I could not see her anywhere. Maybe she had gone to bring some things with her. I turned back to Taehyung as I stroked his hair.
He gasped in a shaky breath but smiled. ‘Did you ever imagine she would be so beautiful Chim?’ he asked, forcing a smile out of me.
‘She really is beautiful and she looked quite bad ass too,’ I said to which he nodded.
‘She’s strong,’ he said just as I picked up on hurried footsteps. I turned around to see her running towards us with a tray.
‘What’s all that?’ I asked, feeling my heart race. She offered me a small smile but it was still reassuring and comforting.
‘They’re medical tools. I need to take out the bullet before I can heal him. Otherwise, the bullet will remain inside and it will do more damage,’ she explained.
‘Is it…is it going to hurt him?’ I asked. I watched her as she froze in her steps. She gulped, seemingly uncertain.
‘I… I can’t say it won’t,’ she admitted. I gulped as I felt two more tears roll down my cheek. ‘I’ll be as quick as I can, I promise and he’ll make a full recovery,’ she said as she touched my shoulder.
I felt a certain spark in my body and I could not help myself but just trust her. She looked at me as if she had felt it too as I saw her look at her hand.
‘I trust you,’ I said as she nodded. She set her tools down and approached Taehyung.
‘Your healing ability was already at work. The skin around the wound has already started to grow so I will need to do an incision so I can extract the bullet,’ she explained.
I felt my stomach churn as she told him the next steps. It was like a pain in my chest that I could not explain. Taehyung nodded at her as she quickly began to work.
I closed my eyes, not wanting to see her do the incision. I heard Taehyung groan a little and I squeezed his hands while my eyes remained closed. He whimpered in pain and I had to bite my own bottom lip to supress my own whines and whimpers.
I could smell the blood which made me shiver. ‘Y—you okay Ch—chim?’ Taehyung asked, which forced me to open my eyes and look at him.
I nodded, not wanting to worry him. Yet, I could not help but wonder how the hell is he more worried about me than himself right now? How could anyone be so damned perfect? I hated it every time he put himself down when he was literally so perfect.
I watched her as she used a metal tool and concentrated on her work. Suddenly, she smiled as she pulled out the bullet.
‘There, bullet is out,’ she said, putting it in a dish. It made a clanking sound and I could not help but growl a little at it. That little piece of silver had hurt my mate.
‘You—you’re good at this,’ Taehyung said with a smile. His eyes looked weak and his face was pale. His heartbeat had slowed down but I knew he was going to be okay now that the bullet was out.
She smiled slightly as she touched his cheek. Taehyung leaned his face in her hand and smiled.
‘I’m going to start the healing process. You might feel it burn a little but it will be over in a few seconds, okay?’ she asked as Taehyung nodded.
‘I’m going to be right here,’ I said as I squeezed his hands. I watched as the woman kneeled down to her knees. She closed her eyes as she placed both of her hands above Taehyung’s stomach which was still bleeding.
Suddenly, white light started emitting from her hands. It was as beautiful as it was blinding. I had to squint my eyes, barely able to look at it.
Taehyung groaned as he squeezed my hand. I felt as if someone was squeezing my heart all over again. He was in pain. I looked at him but found myself in awe as I saw his wound starting to close up. It was as if she was forcing the muscles and tendons to come together to close it up. I saw the skin stretch as it connected all over again.
The ball of light was steady and warm. It did not waver, if anything it seemed to glow even brighter. I dared to look at her as I saw some blood trickle from her nose, alarming me. Was she okay?
The light faded slowly and I could not help but gasp slightly. The wound was fully healed and the only thing that remained was thin, pale line that would probably remain as a scar.
‘Whoa!’ Taehyung exclaimed as he sat up. ‘You’re incredible. It doesn’t even hurt anymore,’ he said, smiling big while his eyes shone bright.
‘Th—that’s go—good,’ she stuttered just as her eyes closed. Her body swayed and I instantly rushed to her.
‘Yah! What’s wrong?’ I yelled as I held her in my arms while Taehyung looked at us worriedly. ‘What’s wrong? Please talk to us,’ I said as I shook her slightly.
Her eyes fluttered open as she groaned slightly. ‘Sorry about that,’ she said as I helped her sit up on the floor.
‘No, don’t worry. Are you okay? What happened there?’ I asked.
‘Yeah you gave us a bit of a fright. Did you faint?’ Taehyung asked as she nodded. He frowned but she just smiled.
‘I’m okay. It’s just um, well, healing is um… a draining power, especially when dealing with something severe like gunshots and such. It leaves me a little weak and tired,’ she explained.
‘I’m sorry,’ Taehyung said with a pout while I looked down but she giggled, forcing me to look up.
‘Don’t apologize please. I’m glad I could help you,’ she said. ‘After all, we’re soulmates,’ she said with a smile which I could not help but return.
‘That we are,’ Taehyung said. ‘By the way, I’m Taehyung,’ he added.
‘And I’m Jimin,’ I said to which she smiled and nodded.
‘I’m Alina,’ she said as she went to stand up. I quickly scrambled to my feet as I helped her to stand. ‘I’m okay Jimin,’ she said. My name out of her mouth sounded like honey.
‘We need to find Jungkook and get the others,’ Taehyung said as he looked at me. Her eyes seemed to shine at the mention of the other members.
‘You know the other soulmates?’ she asked and I nodded excitedly.
‘There are seven of us wolves and you,’ I said. ‘The hyungs went to town to um… well try to get some work to get food and our maknae was out hunting so we need to find him,’ I explained.
‘I see. Taehyung, I may have healed you, you still need to rest. Jimin stay with him, I’ll go prepare some food in the kitchen and then we can go look for them,’ she said with a smile.
‘You need to rest too Alina. You look drained,’ I whined but she smiled and shook her head.
‘I’m okay Jimin but if it makes you feel better, you can help me in the kitchen,’ she said. I looked over at Taehyung, not sure what to do. I did not want to leave Taehyung but I also did not like the idea of her being alone while being tired.
‘Go with her Chim. I’ll just nap for a bit,’ Taehyung said as I nodded.
‘Okay. Call for me if you need me, okay Tae?’ I asked to which he nodded. ‘Lead the way then Alina,’ I said. Alina smiled as she started walking towards the kitchen.
