Taehyung's POV

"We need to talk about this Swiftcrest crap," I say as we all enter the packhouse after school, dumping our bags onto the ground in a pile. Fuck school, fuck the work they give us and fuck the teachers. It can all go to hell. Jimin leans against the wall, pulling Yoongi towards him as Hoseok rolls his eyes.

"What's there to talk about?" I laugh, pulling Hoseok by the collar of his shirt, eyeing him with a smirk. "Did you forget your end of the deal?" He gulps, shaking his head. "Exactly what I thought. How many mafia members can you get?" I release his shirt, watching as he stumbles back a bit and runs a hand down his face.

"If I try hard enough, all of them. It just takes the right words and the right encouragement." I nod, studying him carefully. "There's just over one thousand mafia members in Colorado alone. That's excluding the other states." My eyes widen, a smirk forming on my face. "And if we somehow manage to get the other states on our side?"

His eyes ignite with fire. "Then you've got yourself a fair battle." Jimin's and Namjoon's eyes light up, fire dancing within them. Excitement courses through my body as I throw my arm over my mate, snickering. "When can we get started?" He cocks an eyebrow, looking at me, bewildered.

"We?" I smirk at him, nodding.

"Did you think I'd let you go alone? You had the mafia on your side when you ran away. Too easy for you if I just let you walk back to it. Who knows what kind of tricks you'd pull on my ass." He laughs, shrugging carelessly. "You're smarter than you look. I'll give you that, V."

I nod, looking at him expectantly. "So?" He props himself onto the torn out couch, laying his head against the cushions. "Tonight, if you're in a hurry." I nod, looking at Jimin and Namjoon. "Perfect." Their eyes flash red, smirks forming onto their faces while excitement bubbles within us.

Jungkook steps up a bit, smirking at me. "And you best believe that we're accompanying you." I growl, hearing my friends do the same when their mates agree with mine. "Jungkook-" His hand presses to my chest, eyes narrowed a bit, that smirk of his widening.

"Shush," He says, pressing his lips to mine. "You said it yourself, and these," He says, showing his neck and pointing to the mark, "prove my point. We are a part of this pack, whether we're humans or not. And as you've said before, packs work together. We are coming along with you." My eyes narrow as he presses his chest to mine, looking up at me.

"Am I understood, Alpha?"

My arms wrap around him, my lips lowering right by his ear as I growl lowly. "You'll pay for that later." I pull away, watching as he shudders under my stare. "Fine. You may come along." His smile replaces the smirk, eyes sparkling with joy. Hoseok yawns, sitting on the couch with a bored look.

"What time are we leaving?" I ask him, seeing his eyes meet mine. They cloud over for a bit before he opens his mouth to reply. "Midnight. That's when the mafia is most alive." I hum, nibbling at the mark on Jungkook's neck as his back presses to my chest, my arms wrapping themselves around his waist.

"Rest up Bloodlust Snow," I say, nibbling on his ear for a second then pulling away. "We leave at midnight."

Jungkook and I remain in the living room, laying on the couch. Well, he lays on top of me but we're still relaxing. At around seven, he falls asleep, leaving me awake to stare at his beauty. I brush aside the strand of hair that falls over his eyes, shielding me from his angelic face.

"I promise to love you for every moment of forever, and when everything else crumbles," I whisper, wrapping my arms around his waist as I kiss his forehead, letting my heart race in my chest, "I will never." He stirs a bit, burying his face in the crook of my neck and whining cutely.

God, he's adorable. He's mine. I release a low, content growl, inhaling his addicting scent. He's the drug, the one that fuels my high, the one I can't get enough of. I'm addicted- God, I'm so fucking addicted- and there's no way I'll be able to withdraw from it.

My wolf howls, purring afterward with happiness. I smile, kissing his neck gently, letting him sleep on my chest. I doze off for a few hours, waking up thirty minutes before we need to leave. Jungkook let's out a breath, cuddling up into my chest, smiling. I smile too, running my hands through his hair.

"Angel, wake up. We need to get ready." He groans, opening those beautiful, brown, doe eyes of his and finding mine. "Is it morning?" He asks, yawning. I coo, kissing his forehead. "Almost, baby. We need to meet with the mafia, remember?" He nods, sitting up, stretching.

I get up, walking down the hallway, spotting Hoseok sitting on the ground with his head leaning against the wall. His eyes are closed, breathing steady. He's asleep. I nudge his foot, watching as his eyes open, head falling forward. "We leave in thirty minutes." He nods, pushing himself up from the ground.

I head upstairs, waking up my friends, then walking back down. I grab my bag, unzipping it, and checking the stuff I have inside. Clothes, money, wallet, random things I really don't need. I organize it, zipping it up and throwing it over my shoulder.

"Let's get moving!" I shout, slinging my arm over Jungkook's shoulders, kissing his lips. My friends and their mates head downstairs, nodding at me as we walk to the door. Hoseok stands at my left, silent and focusing ahead of him. I nudge him, seeing him blink and look at me. "You good?" Shock spreads across his face but he nods.

"I'm fine. Let's just get this over with." I nod, shoving him gently in the direction of the door. We follow behind him, heading out of the forest and onto the streets, letting the street lamps light up the way. He leads us in the direction of a shopping center, going behind the buildings through a small alleyway.

There's a back door at the building he stops at, knocking two times quickly, once slowly, then three times quickly. I furrow my eyebrows, hearing the locks click, the door opening before us. "Hoseok?" A man says, stepping out of the darkroom behind him, a cigarette in his mouth. "Hey, Drew."

"Where you've been? Been looking everywhere for you dude," He says, smiling and reaching out to hug Hoseok. Hoseok returns the hug, smiling. "Just been busy with shit. But, think you can let me in? Got some stuff to talk to the mafia 'bout." He steps aside, eyeing all of us up and down.

"Ye, sure. How long you staying brotha?" Hoseok shrugs, motioning with his head to follow him inside. We do, walking into the darkroom. The lights flicker on when the door shuts, the man named Drew and Hoseok leading the way to a staircase. It's long and leads into darkness, but they seem calm about it.

And so, as we walk down the stairs, lights hit us and I'm amazed. "Welcome to the underground world," Hoseok says, glancing back at us, smirking. Drew bids a goodbye, leaving us and heading back up the stairs. "He's on door duty. Can't really leave his place." I hum, following Hoseok as he leads us deeper underground.

It's like an alleyway, but bigger and with lights. We can hear chatter from off at the end of the tunnel looking thing, which is directly where he's leading us. "My advice," Hoseok speaks us, glancing to his right to look at me. "Keep your mouths shut unless I tell you to speak. I know what I'm doing."

I scoff, looking at him. "Really now?" He nods, eyeing me carefully. "Listen," He says after a pause. "You're the king of the wolves," Another pause as he stops, putting his hand on my shoulder and turning me so that I face him. "I'm the king of the underground. As long as you're here, you play by my rules. Keep your mouths shut."

I snicker, watching as walks off into the distance. I hear my friends growl but we follow him, immediately led into this giant room with lights, what looks to be like stores, and many, many people. He whistles, catching people's attention, letting the crowd fall silent.

"Listen up!" He shouts, gaining everyone's attention. "I've got news, and it ain't pretty." It's taken up until now to realize that everyone has a weapon of some sort, while we're empty-handed. I push Jungkook behind me, seeing his eyes widen. "I'm protecting you," I mind-link.

"I fucked up! Big surprise, ye?" He says with his arms extended as he smirks. "But this time, it ain't a joke. We got company, and they aren't looking for allies." People narrow their eyes, some crossing their arms over their chests. "They'll be here in less than a month, and their goal is to take us down and rule over Colorado."

"I say fuck that!" He roars, scanning over the crowd. "We worked our goddamn asses off for this shit! We risked our lives to build what we have now! We outrun the cops to continue doing the shit we do!" He shouts, looking out into the huge crowd of people.

I glance at Hoseok, watching as his eyes narrow and fists clench. "And these fuckers just think they can take what's ours?!" His voice is laced with anger and I'm surprised. People are joining his side and he hasn't even told them much. "I say fuck that! We ain't gonna let that happen, are we?! Colorado is ours, bitches!" The crowd cheers, fists were thrown into the air.

"We fight for what's ours!" That's all it takes for the mafia to scream and shout, guns going off and hitting the cement above us. I growl, eyes darkening as I look at Hoseok. "Are you with me?!" The mafia roars out, fists raised, everyone looking at Hoseok. He steps back, extending his hand as a signal for me to take over.

"Make it short. Get to the point. Mafia hates it when you stall." I nod, looking at the crowd as they fall silent. "You don't know me, and I don't know you, but right now, I'm asking for your help," I say, glancing at everyone. Here it goes. "I come from a land that you aren't aware of. A land where mythical creatures exist, and they aren't the nicest."

"I am a werewolf, and the people coming to take over your state are just like me!" I roar, letting my eyes change to blue. People gasp, stepping back, guns aimed at me. However, none of them fire. I continue. "I mean no harm to you, but the ones coming in less than a month do. I'm asking for your help to save not only this state but your race."

"Your lives are in your hands, and you may choose to fight for what is yours, or you can surrender to the enemy. However, if you surrender, the lives you call yours will no longer belong to you!" I shout, pulling my mate close to me. "The choice is yours! Either fight beside me, or let your hard work, your ranks, and your lives fall to ashes!"

The crowd roars, fists were thrown into the air. "We will fight with you!" Someone shouts, guns lowering, dropping to the ground. I look at Hoseok, watching as he steps up to the stone that we were on, staring at the crowd. "I killed the leader! You know my power, you know my knowledge, you know my intentions. Fight or die! Those are your only two options!" Again, the crowd roars.

Then, he looks to me, smirking. "The mafia will fight with you, Alpha." I smirk, glancing at my friends then at my mate. My eyes change from brown to blue as my wolf takes control. A growl leaves my throat, my fist tossed into the air as the command leaves my mouth without consent.

"Prepare yourselves for war!"

-·=»‡«=·-

Hoseok is well known within the mafia world and also feared. He may not be a mafia leader, but he surely does run the underground world.

The mafia is fighting for what's theirs, which means Taehyung has an army of one thousand on his side.

I purple you 💜
