29. Blood

"We had taken the right route. By the time sun would be setting, we will be stepping in borders of Kuan Village.", Jongin dragged the line over dry ground successfully mapping their route with the help of a twig. Taemin hummed along while three more heads had peered up over the two Alphas to see the map.

"How much time do you think we will need to catch those rogues?", Taemin asked looking up at the other Alphas and Betas.

"According to those villagers, those rogues come every week and trouble them a lot since they don't have a leader or hunting pack for them. Those rogues have announced themselves as their pack leaders. There are three of them. So a week might be enough according to my information.", Sungwoon, another beta of their pack said. Everyone just hummed and and nodded along. Ravi, an Alpha raised his head towards a direction where they could see a female sitting quietly under a tree, watching them warily.

"What about her?", Ravi asked pointing her out. Taemin frowned.

"I think it was discussed on the very first day itself."

"But Taemin-ah, she is an unmated young Omega. Where would she go??", Jongin tried to persuade him.

"Where she had came from!!", Everyone flinched at Taemin's raised voice. Taemin was their leader. So he was quite protective and agressive about his little pack of rogues. Especially since it carried his pup too. Otherwise usually he was a calm person. But if something was to irk him, it would be hellfire they knew. So they always tried to keep him calm since he had a pup. And they didn't want for pup to be scared of his own appa. By this time, that Omega had sensed the topic of their discussion and she stood up looking at them.

"We don't know where she came from. Most probably she is from Busan and might be spying on us. You don't know that Jeon Jungkook. I don't want to raise my hands on an Omega much less kill her. So tell her to leave. And also, keeping an Omega in our pack might slow down our pace of journey. And we don't want that, now do we?", Taemin said silently.

"But we literally carry a pup with us Taemin-ah."

"That's because it's my pup. And I take his full responsibility. If you want her to keep with us, do you take her responsibility and give us assurance that she won't be any harm to any of us in future?", Taemin asked sharply and Jongin gulped. He slowly shook his head in negative.

"Good. It's settled then.", Taemin said and started walking towards river where beta Kyungsoo had taken his pup for a bath. Other Members followed him silently. When he saw  that Jongin was not following them, he stopped and turned towards him. Looking at him with questionable stare.

"You go forward. I'll give her your message.", Jongin said awkwardly laughing while scratching his nape. Taemin just nodded and went away with others. After they were far out of sight, he quickly approached her. She was also waiting for him to tell her the news.

"See, he's never going to believe you so the only way to stay with us is you have to do three things...", He said with a serious face.

"What are those?", Jiah asked eagerly.

"First, stay away from his pup. He is damn possessive and over protective. Don't even breath in his direction. Second, stay away from him. Don't even dare look at him. Third, stay away from this pack. Follow us from far.", Jiah had her mouth wide opened in disbelief as she stared at the smug Alpha in front of her.

"What kind of advice is that?? How am I suppose to get near him like this?", She grunted.

"If he gets to know you're actually from Busan, you'll never be able to get near him anyway. You want your Alpha or not?", Jongin asked her narrowing his eyes. She furiously nodded her head that could easily snap it.
