Yn POV
As Jimin and I enter the pack house still bickering quietly to each other like an old couple, the guests head towards the hall which was designed to hold the after party. Though I had heard of the preparations for the party, I had yet to see the hall for myself and was quite curious how it would look. But first, I needed to get rid off the blood crown that was drying on my head.
Both me and Jimin walked up the stairs to our room so we could remove the crown and get changed into our second outfit for the night. It took a lot of convincing but eventually me and Yoongi were able to make the elders cave and let us wear what we wanted for the second part of the crowning party. I can still remember the way Yoongi countered everything the elders said to finally get his way when everyone realised it was impossible to win an argument with him. His smirk at the end of the 'argument' with his exaggerated hair flip was by far the most entertaining experience I had ever had in my life.
(I miss Yoonji..)
As we entered our room I headed towards my bed to grab the clothes I had already picked out for the night. I walked towards the bathroom with the looser and less restrictive dress as Jimin went through his side of the wardrobe looking for something to wear. He didn't have time to plan ahead as I was always imprisoned in this room and we weren't allowed to see each other.
I reached for the door handle so I could enter the bathroom when I saw from the corner of my eye, Jimin had stopped his conquest in finding some clothes and made his way over to me. His scent dominated my senses as his arms engulfed me in hug. It would have been a sweet action if not for the words he said next, "What's wrong? Not going to get changed in front of me? It's not like I haven't seen everything already."
I knew he had expected me to blush or laugh but he was in for a surprise. With a roll of my eyes, I elbowed him in the stomach before running to the bathroom and locking the door. I heard a groan from the other side which had me burst out in a fit of giggles. I had missed times like these. Times where we would just play around like little children. Everything had been extremely tough the last few months with the whole Alpha and Luna duty, but thankfully I knew there would be some time in the future where I could still be a child with him.
As I changed I heard Jimin quietly cursing at Yoongi who without a doubt was rubbing off on me. I listened through the mind link as he had made a mental note to have a talk with Yoongi and find out what other things he has influenced his 'baby muffin' on. I internally rolled my eyes at his childlessness and made my own mental note of warning Yoongi. I wasn't going to let Jimin hurt my little friend. Well if he would still see me as friend after all this.
Shaking the thought out of my head, I rolled my gown into a ball before throwing it in the empty laundry basket. It wasn't entirely dirty as I had worn it once but the gown was long on me, so the trail had became covered in sand and mud. I picked up heels that I was thrilled to never wear again, before unlocking the door. Not even a step into the room, I yelped as a body ran into mine and pinned me on the bathroom door. It didnt take an expert to know who it was.
"Jimin..What are-"
Before I was able to question anything, familiar lips fell on to mine silencing anything I was trying to say. I made no attempt to back off though it was sudden and melted into his lips. Unlike the sweet innocent kiss from the alter this one was passionate and demanding. So demanding that I lost grips on my heels as they fell to the floor with a thud. Neither of us looked at the heels as we ravished each others lips. It felt like we had been separated for centuries.
Jimin pulled back soon after as we caught our breaths but never broke eye contact. "I was waiting all week to do this. If it wasn't for the party now, I would have you now." He growled near my ear before nipping at it with his teeth. His head fell into my neck as he licked the mark he had placed a week ago before moving away before he went any further. I shivered in delight from the sparks but tried to stop any other reactions.
"Why do you have to be so irresistible? I can't keep myself in check with you around." Jimin pouted as he made some space between our bodies. He was serious about his lack of control around me, I could sense it. The week separation was already dawning on him. I giggled at Jimin before pecking him really quick, seeing the was his eyes lit up like a puppy before making my way out of the bedroom. "Come on Minnie. It's time to go."
The two of us walked into the hall to see everyone mingling and for once being relax. My eyes instantly met with Yoongi's and I knew exactly what he wanted. Turning to Jimin for a second, I whispered into his ear that I was going to talk to Yoongi for a second and then would return. Jimin looked in Yoongi's direction before nodding and sneaking a quick peck from me as I ran off to Yoongi.
I used my mind link to tell Yoongi to move into one of the empty rooms so we could talk privately. I knew I had already announced something that he wanted no one to know about but the least I could do was keep the rest of it private until he was happy to tell everyone. I watched as he immediately left to the room with me following a few steps after. I greeted people along the way and thanked them for attending before leaving saying I had business to up hold. I couldn't be rude and ignore the guests but I also had to talk to Yoongi and I knew how impatient he gets when he's upset.
As I walked into the room and shut the door, I see Yoongi's silhouette that is more radiant as his body basks in the moonlight. To others he would look like a majestic angel, one who was enjoying the sight of nature, but to me he looked like a wolf about to blow from anger and hurt. I hated the fact I hid everything from him and knew that now I had to face the consequence of that. The two of us had became really close to the point I would even talk to him more than I would talk to Jimin and that is saying something. I just really hope I hasn't ruined what relationship we had created. One that was more than friends but less than lovers.
As I open my mouth, I am interrupted by Yoongi's growl as he looks at me and spits, "What the hell were you talking about?! Roxy is dead and you know that! Is this some kind of joke to you!"
Yoongi Pov
My friendship with Yn meant the world to me. She was like an annoying sister I never had and it made me want to hide and protect her from the harshness of this world. I wanted to help her in places and times that Jimin couldn't help her, so when Jimin told me I was staying with her for the week and I had to protect her I was over the moon. Yes, babysitting her for a week whilst she complained about work and missing Jimin wasn't something I ever want to go through again, but it was an experience I would never trade. We were able to get closer than ever before and dare I say we created a bond that I thought we would both treasure to the end of time.
But now I couldn't help but feel betrayed. The way she very openly spoke about something I had held in for years, suffering daily from the hurt of loosing my second half, and constantly blaming myself for not being able to save my love. It hurt. I trusted her with secrets I didn't tell anyone and yet she happily announced it to the world. I didn't understand what she was thinking. And the fact that she went ahead with whatever this plan was, knowing full well I was going to get hurt, it made me feel insignificant to her. I couldn't help but wonder if she ever thought of me as a friend, or was it all an act to gain my trust and use me?
I watched as Yn walked slowly to the window towards me and I was battling my every instinct to attack. I was angry, furious at her for everything but still held back wanting an explanation. Deep down I wanted to believe there was a reason for whatever she did. I wanted to believe that she was trying to hold on to our friendship and didn't just throw it away. That it meant something to her too. Not just me.
As Yn stood in front of me, I stared into her eye's that swirled with emotion. She look like she was tempted to cry out to me, to explain everything, to tell me the reason behind why she hid everything she did. So I stopped. I looked at her and waited for her explanation. If it wasn't satisfactory then I would deal with her.
"That day, did you see Roxy's 'body' by yourself? Like in person or did you just hear about her death?" Yn voice came out quiet with sympathy but was strong and determined.
I could feel my face harden as I fist my hands into a ball. Not only had she ignored my question she also decided it was okay to ask more about a topic that I had already open my heart about with her. If it wasn't the Luna and Beta bond or the fact part of me was still wanting to hold onto our friendship, I was sure I would have already punched her.
Biting back the growl that was threatening to be released, I answered with strong yes trying my best not to blow. I watched as Yn's face stayed blank as her eyes swirled with many emotions including fear. She was quiet for a few minutes as she thought of a way to word the next question. "When you saw her 'body' did your wolf go crazy with pain or show any reaction that seemed like he lost something important to him?" Yn used her hands to quote body before taking a step closer to the confused me. My anger had started to disappear and all that was left was confusion. I thought about what she said, thinking back to my wolf's reaction that day.
My wolf did become quiet. Really quiet actually but he never went crazy with pain. Neither did I. But I always assumed it was because she never saw me. She never mated with me so I wouldn't die after she 'left' but she never bonded with me either so I shouldn't have felt anything either. So my wolf wouldn't have gone crazy. So what was Yn trying to prove?
I shook my head as a no as I waited for Yn to speak. Surprisingly Yn smiled before she spoke, "If Roxy had died that day, your wolf wouldn't have died but he would have gone crazy for at least a week. You had bonded with her the second you laid eye's on her so there was a connection made between the two of you. Though not strong as one when you both see each other, a bond is still a bond so your wolf would have a reaction to it. But since your wolf showed no extreme reaction to the dead body then that means that body wasn't hers."
I let the words sink in as I looked at Yn with hopeful eyes. My eye's brimmed with tears as I felt everything click in to place. If my wolf didn't go crazy and is still alive and well that could only mean one thing,
"Roxy..Roxy's alive?"
--------------------------------
For those who didn't understand what Yn said then here's a brief explanation:
If one mate dies and no one had seen each other thus never bonded, then no one experience any pain.
If mate 1 see's mate 2, but mate 2 doesn't see mate 1 then a half bond is created. This means if mate 2 dies, mate 1 will suffers for a week or so but will then heal slightly. But if mate 1 dies, then mate 2 won't feel anything because they didn't see the other.
If both mates see each other and one dies then the other will go crazy from the pain of separation but won't die. They could kill themselves from the pain but won't die because of the bond.
If both mates see each other and mate then one dies, then the other will slowly die.
That's the explanation. If you have question please ask, this becomes important in the future when the final battle takes place.
