JUNGKOOK POV

My wolf wasn't completely satisfied since its real wish was that I tuck him in my bed, in
my arms, after claiming him.

Closing the deal, so to speak.

He believed the trick of the moon, he believed the lie of
his blue sheen.

This man was human and
getting caught up in the Omega
Moon didn't change that.

My wolf needed to calm down and deal with the facts, the
fact that pointed to him being most definitely not our mate.

Wolves didn't deal in fact and
he was on edge, begging me
to claim the man.

It was not going to happen.

I needed to calm my wolf
down and having the human under our roof was a heck of
a good start.

It just felt better to me, too.

And Dalsu was more than just someone else's kid.

He belonged to my mate and therefore was also under my protection.

Except a human could not be
my mate.

Sure, he'd somehow managed
to have a wolf kid but that
wasn't on him, not if he was
a human.

I settled down to try to watch some TV but the thoughts kept running around my head.

If he wasn't a wolf, his former spouse, mate, whatever was.

I flipped off the movie or game show—hell I didn't even know what had been chattering away in front of me and stood up.

I started for my bed but veered off and found myself at the
small corner desk in my
bedroom that served me as
an office.

I didn't do as much work that required one as Joon but I
did have a laptop hooked to
the pack network for when I needed it.

And I wasn't going to sleep tonight until I figured out the story behind that cub sleeping upstairs.

It was completely against the rules for a wolf to marry or
mate with a human.

Jimin was human.

I'd pretty well swear to that.

Dalsu was for sure a wolf.

Or half a wolf but the genetics were fully active.

That meant in all logic that
Jimin's late wife was pack somewhere. Not this pack.

If one of our females of my generation had broken this
rule, I'd know.

Everyone would know.

We weren't such a big group
that we didn't know everyone.

The pack subscribed to a very specific sort of ancestry site
and I settled in to try to figure out who he'd been married to.

I didn't expect to have much
luck since she had to have
been rogue.

But I began with pack marriage records and birth records, eliminating more than finding.

Then I used some less than
well-known methods to get deeper into their files.

Joon had shown me how to do this a while back but it wasn't
the kind of thing many could manage.

He'd also told me not to do it unless it was for pack business because if I got caught, it
could be a big problem.

I would do my best not to get caught but for my peace of
mind, I had to know.

Hours later, I hadn't found a thing, no records of any
rogues or runaway females.
