"I wear a mask again "
(I'm sorry about my numbering of chapters. I always forget and use a wrong number )
"Why are you going for the war first? "
Jin hung cocked an eyebrow at me, scrutinizing the look on my face which I returned with a blank face.
"Nothing, it's just that, she's not all that important to me "
I blurted out nonchalantly and watched as his jaw almost dropped to the floor. I looked at him in confusion, thinking how he's overreacting
"What did you just say ?" He gave me a skeptical look as I stared back at him expressionless. It's not as if he doesn't know anyways. I mean I thought every one knows how I don't give two shits about her which makes me think he's overreacting
"I don't care about her and I don't think I ever will, considering I rejected her officially today and she -"
"YOU REJECTED HER?! " He shrieked making me flinch inwardly. I gave him an annoyed look as he sat there gaping at me
For some reason, he has gotten so loud nowadays. I hate useless noises
"Yeah, what's so special about that? It is better to free us both from a puzzle that doesn't have a pattern. We are both better off this way since we both can never be together. There is no way in helping that is happening "
I finished ,maintaining my blank stare.
"Jungkook... "
He trails
"Do you know what rejection means to werewolves? "
"Do you know the consequences of rejecting a female WEREWOLF?! "
His tone was growing louder with every word he says
"DO YOU EVEN KNOW SHE COULD DIE AFTER HER WOLF DIES?! "
. I didn't react to anything he did, I maintained my face stiff
"I don't care "
He seemed surprised by how bitter my reply was so he stared at me in disbelief, his mouth wide agape. There was a long moment of silence before he stood up, shaking his head in disbelief
"I've changed my mind"
I quirked my eyebrows at him in confusion
"You didn't deserve to know the truth about either of them. You deserve to live in lies."
I didn't even have time to reply and he was already storming out of the room.
Eɳԃ σϝ ϝʅαʂԋႦαƈƙ
I run my fingers through my hair in frustration. What is wrong with everyone these days? It's annoyingly surprising how everyone doesn't know how to mind their own business these days.. Why are they all sticking their noses in my fucking business? For months now, all they talk about is thatr stupid she -mutt. That she dog has been given enough attention already. It pisses, me off
Why can't she just die?
But again, I really wanted to know the truth about the war. I only gew up with the mindset of them killing my parents but I never bothered to know the cause of it or whoever was at fault-either vampires or werewolves.
I groaned and rolled onto my back to stare at the ceiling above me.
I need to know why but I doubt anyone will tell me. Well the hyung line probably wouldn't. I don't think Jimin knows too, not even Taehyung whom I haven't seen in a while. He's probably enjoying he stay in the dungeon. He normally goes there for misbehaving
I wish I never had a mate and I'm glad I don't even consider her as one.
Speaking of her, why do I smell her in my room?
I quickly sat up and tried to use my vampire ability to hear if she's in the mansion. There was none
I shook my head and tried to feel her presence.
There was none
But the farmiliar scent of Citrus and pines was all over the place. I don't know why she needed to smell like my favorite scent. The smell of Citrus and pines was so prominent that it made my mouth water. I wondered why it had gotten so strong all the way here. She was far away from here but I smelt her.
It has never happened before
My thoughts were interrupted by a sharp pain in my wrist to where the bond mark was.
I looked down at it as I swung my legs over my bed , pushing my feet into my black jandals.
I rubbed it when the burning began
A bit, I thought it was fading already!
I cussed and shot up, making my way to my bathroom sink and opening the tap for the water to flow on it.
"Why the hell is it burning again? I thought every thing ended after the rejection? "
I clenched my jaw as I tried to a suppress the anger I felt towards her. Why can't this shit end? I hate her and I dont want to have anything to do with her.
"Hey kid, what are you doing there? "
Yoongi hyung's husky voice asked from the doorway to my bathroom.
I glanced at him from the corner of my eye to see him leaning against the frame, looking tired as always. I shot him a glare, hoping he notices for calling me a kid
I find him as annoying as he finds me.
I see him rolling his eyes , pushing himself away from the door to a stroll towards me. I maintained silent and fixed my eyes on the burning mark that was cooling but barely
His presence was soon felt near me but I still kept my attention away from him until he trapped my wrist, inspecting it closely
He scrutinized the mark for a while until he looks up at me questionably
I still said nothing and continued to stare at my hand blankly
"Is it burning again? "
I gave him a slight nod, ignorinf his worried look. It was silent for a while and just when I figured he mind linked someone, Jin hyung came rushing through my room with wide eyes. He repeated the same action as Yoongi's, snatching my wrist from him as he leaned in to examine it
"What do you think is wrong?" He asked, with his eyes still fixed in my mark. The question was directed to no one in particular but I knew it was to Yoongi.
"I don't know but we need to find out if she's ok"
It wasn't long until Namjoon hyung entered with Hoseok hyung holding a phone in his hand, trailing behind him
I had moved to sit on the Jacuzzi bathtub, clenching my fist to ignore the burning.
"What is going on? Is he ok? "
Namjoon hyung asked as he entered
"Yeah I think so but we need to find out about Luna"
I rolled my eyes at the mention of her name. Last time this happened, she was busy giving her self to another guy to mark her. Stupid mutt
"I can smell her here "
I blurted out, ignoring their gazes and staring at the white tiled floor
"What? "
Hoseok hyung asks
"I can smell her scent all the way here "
I restated, still keeping my cool
It went dead silent for a while making me allow myself to think of why I said that but I figured I didn't care and that I just wanted this shit to end so I can be by myself
She's the last thing I want to think about right now
There was a long sigh from Namjoon hyung before he muttered "Call the beta and let's find out "
The ringing of phone was heard , it wasn't long until an annoying farmiliar voice sounded. Hoseok hyung had placed it on a loud speaker, holding it in his hand so we can listen
"Hello "
"Hello Jerry"
"Is Luna around? "
There was a long pause until he replied
"Yes"
I released my breath and continued to listen
"Is she available right now? "
"No "
. He replied shortly. That guy is just so annoying
"Oh can we talk to her? "
"No"
Some of us groaned in annoyance. I won't disagree, he's pissing me off too
"Uhm , it'd be nice if we could talk to her "
Hoseok hyung said, trying to maintain his formalities and hide how pissed he was getting
"Why is that Hobi? "
"Apparently jungkook's mark has began to burn and a whole lot so we wanted to know if she was ok. Last time that happened there was something wrong "
He mumbled the second statement under his breath and Yoongi hyung stifled a laughter.
I thought the same way too but I figured I couldn't laugh even though the way he said it through gritted teeth was funny
"Oh... We are sorry for that and we will try to make it stop"
His voice was hoarse and rude, probably by the mention of my name but I didn't fail to notice how he was struggling not to spit out a certain truth.
"Just tell him"
Another voice I noticed to be Chris's said and majority of us gave each other glances
He sighed from the other side of the line before sputtering
"Ok there a problem and since you guys want to know but seeing how she's in pain, I think we have no choice but to update you guys on it "
The only thing that got stuck in my head was the fact that he said she's in pain
I hate how that alone alarmed me
"What is it? "Namjoon hyung asked impatiently
You could hear him Huff
" She's in heat and I'm sure you all know what that means "
I together with all of them had wide eyes.
Well shit
That is why I'm smelling her all the way here
"Ok thank you Jerry, we will see what we can do about it "
There was a hum and the call eventually came to an end. I noticed Jimin had walked In
My head snapped to Jin hyung, shooting him a questioning look at what he had meant by 'we will see what we can do about it '
He glared back at me when he met my gaze
I didn't know much about she wolves heat but I do know that it will have something to do with me in order to calm her heat
Until the realization of his statement hit me causing me to clench my fist and grind my jaws against each other, hissing
"if any if you think I'm going over there to calm a stupid heat for a fucking she wolf then you lie bad. There is no way on earth and in hell I'm stepping a fucking toe inside that territory for such a a stupid reason"
I was overly pissed right now that he could ever think of anything such as getting me to her only for me to calm her heat
My thoughts were interrupted by a sudden burst of laughter from Jin hyung. This time I was the one to stare at him as if he were a mad man. I know when he starts to laugh bitterly every thine he become a whole new being. He gets savage when he laughs that way in situation
"Jungkook.. "
He trailed, catching his breath. His words were low and firm
"It is not an option, you will do it either way "
I glared at him
"No! "
"Yes you will! You have no say here you fucking spoilt brat "
He growled louder, taking me off guard. Jin hyung never cussed before so it felt so new coming from him and it was when I knew he wasn't kidding
"You will go to her, calm her heat and it's what you will do to apologize for rejecting her! Do you know the kind of heartaches one gets after rejection?! I'm not playing a joke here! Jungkook we are going to her and you gonna stay with her till her heat is gone! End of discussion"
I glared at him in anger, ignoring the smirks on their faces.
"Now , come to think of it.... "
He began to speak cooly. I couldn't believe how he could get bipolar and have so many different moods in less than a minute. He didn't look as deadly at first, it made me think abnormal of him
"You will get to know those two things I didn't tell you if you calm her heat "
So now we are out for a negotiation? I lowered my eyes to think about what he just said. This is my chance to know what they've not been telling me. I could take advantage of it even though I loose by going there to the mutt's territory. But it can't be all that bad considering it's just keeping a her company then I'll just get my answers
I sighed
"Well and as it is, you will also stop feeling the burn on your wrist. You gain more than you loose "
He pressed
After a long battle with my thought, I finally gave in with a sigh
"Ok"
Was all I said before I stood up and left them to go lie on my bed. I hated the fact that I gave in to a certain manipulation, I hated the fact that I made them grin victoriously. It made me feel vulnerable but considering I get the advantages makes me shrug it off. Surely this will be the last time I get defeated. I also know that I would've been made to go either way by Jin hyung so I better agree to the beneficial one,
"We are leaving now "
He says and they all left my room. I groan and angrily throw a pillow across the room. It collided with the wall and fell limp on the floor as I glared at it.
I can't believe I gave in to this
After about ten minutes, I was getting in the back seat of the black ferari . It pissed me off when Jin hyung began to rant here and there about what I should do
"Jungkook you will comport yourself and I've packed some, of your things in case you need to stay for a while
My head snapped to him so fast that I got a whiplash
" Yes you heard me "
I glared at him in disbelief.
"There is no fucking way I'm staying with mutts "
He shot me a glare
"Language and we have a deal... You loose if you break your side of the contract "
I held back a snicker when he told me to watch my language. As if he never did one
I clenched my fist tightly to calm myself as I stared ahead of us. It was almost midnight and the street was quiet.
I could hear the snickers from Hoseok hyung from the back making me bite back a growl
"And like I was saying "
Mood swings, he was back to being all smiley
"Her heat requires your touch.. "
I cringed as he trailed, knowing there's no way I'm touching that thing.
"I mean, you will not touch her in any way she doesn't like or anyway intimate even though her heat requires you both mating "
I rolled my eyes
As if I find her attractive
"Your scent and your normal touch will help her by not much as to getting intimate. And you will do no such thing, got it? Even if that is what she will crave for, it isn't her desire but the heat that will cause her to make so many irrational decisions"
Hoseok hyung let out a loud laughter "wait, how come you know so much about this? "
He taunted receiving a glare from Jin hyung who turned back his attention to the road.
I pushed my cheek with my tongue and rested my head on the seat, closing my eyes right after. Taking the time to blow off some steam before I get to see unwanted faces.
¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶°°°°°°°°°°°••••••••••••
I have been lying here unmoving, I feel as good as death right now. Apparently, no one is able to touch me right now because it has grown worse and my body is resisting every touch except for my mate. My wolf has gone wild and almost made me snap my teeth at Jen's hand which scared her shitless from her terrified expression.
Eventually they are all far away from me. My brother is standing at the far end of my room with his hands folded, staring blankly at the floor. Jen is at the corner to the door whiles the rest are also sprawled in the room. The only one sitting at the doorway was Jerry
They are all keeping their distance from me making me feel like I've been infected with some virus where they needed to maintain social distance to prevent getting infected. However I try to understand since I seem very wild right now, well my wolf is really sensitive at who comes near us. And since they are all unmated males, they need to keep distance from me before it gets dirty.
Currently I'm lying there, squeezing myself into a ball and sweating as if I just raced a Marathon. My body is hot , very way to uncomfortable. I feel the throbbing aches in my lower abdominal and I've been puking like after every five minutes.
I feel sick and I'm sure if I go to throw up again, I'll be throwing up my intestines since I'm sure there's nothing left in me to excrete. I feel horrible , I hate it because I've never felt this way before, I feel like shit right now.
Any moment now and I'll be begging for someone to calm this thing down and I know I can't give in to having Jungkook over here. That's just a whole new pain I'll be causing myself. I'm also glad, my wolf agrees with me but I know that she'll be changing her mind soon since she keeps whimpering in pain.
My thoughts got interrupted with a loud rigging, glancing at its source to see Jerry trying to pull his phone from his pocket. When he looks at the screen, I see him tense up a bit, glancing at our faces which held curiosity before picking
I didn't pay attention to the conversation until I heard Chris say "just tell him "
It was when my head snapped to them questionably. My eyes went wide when I realized who he was talking to and what he just said. I almost growled at him for doing something without my consent until my brother spoke
"We aren't going to shut up anymore Luna, that excuse of a mate is coming here and you won't say anything against it "
I glared at him, having no energy for argument. It was really painful and I hopes he comes over and stops it. I couldn't help but to wonder if he will come. Well I mean, there is no way Jungkook will come here just because of me. The dude hates my guts like nothing before and he'd rather spend his time trying to dig my grave than do that.
The thought makes me frown.
I try to at least sleep but it went over the roof, it was useless. No one could ever sleep in this condition with pain all over. I laid there for a good amount of hours , I was finally drifting to sleep until I felt my stomach flip and instantly I was rushing toward the bathroom. I puked with a lot of difficulty about five minutes of trying to empty my stomach but nothing came. I had probably brought everything out but the vomitting sensation hadn't worn out yet.
"Are you ok Luna? "
I nodded weakly at my brother and mumbled a low yes before leaning against the wall. I closed my eyes and took in a deep breath, supporting myself with my hand to get up and walk towards the sink.
I gripped onto the sink for support and stared at myself in the mirror.
I looked horrible, my hair was all over the place, my purple orbs were dull, my face was pale and beads of sweats were gliding down my face as the strands of my hair clinged to my skin due to the wetness. I looked like a living corpse already with those dried lips.
I sigh and wash my mouth before turning off the tap. Loud foot steps and farmiliar scents hit me. My eyes went wide as I smelt the farmiliar scent of strawberries and smoke making my mouth water
"Mate mate "
Moon purred in delight as I felt Jungkook's presence getting nearer and nearer.
Ok this is crazy but how the hell did they get him here?! I needed time to process the fact that he really came but my wolf was really getting on my last nerves right now
"Mate mate, go to mate dummy, what are you still doing here?! "
She snapped and I couldn't help but to feel betrayed by her "hey, I thought we were on the same side? "
She rolled her eyes at me
"Shut up and go to him. Mate is here and that's all I want "
I mentally shook my head at how she's behaving so different. She's such a traitor
"Stupid hormones"
I snap at how and limp back to the room whiles holding the walls for support.
I was met with Hoseok and Jin but not Jungkook. My Wolf's expression quickly faded and I held in a laughter. But I was sure I can smell him here, he's here. Jin gave me a delightful wave and Hoseok flashed me a bright smile that I was sure could light the whole world. Jen was busily shying away and trying to sink into the corner she was squeezed in.
I mentally shook my head
"Hi Luna "
Jin called and I give him a forced smile as I muttered a low hi. Freezing in my steps when my eyes locked on my worst nightmare. He had appeared in the doorway with a hard expression in, looking furious and I knew immediately that the they forced him to come.
Our eyes met for a while and my wolf kept yipping in excitement
"Go hug him"
"No way "
"Stupid human"
She grumbled
"Stupid wolf "
I snapped back at her and broke the gaze with a lot of difficulty, staggering back to my bed and curling into a ball on it
It was silent for a while until a certain fight began
"You better get her well because this is your fault "
My brother commanded angrily at him and I knew this wasn't going to end well. It was going to turn into a fight with the deadly look Jungkook shot Luca. I know he's going to snap at him because Jungkook clearly hates to be commanded around.
I watched as he glared at him coldly
"What did you say mutt? "
The room tensed up suddenly at how he spat the mutt with so much remorse
"Shut up and get my sister healthy "
"And what if I don't? "
"What? "
"You should be begging on your knees right now pup, being the that dog you are because you clearly need me. Your she -dog over there needs me to survive "
His words were so bitter, my chest felt heavy at his words and how he addressed me. My wolf was shrinking back on to the ground whimpering at how much hate he was giving us. I flinched at the loud roar that erupted the air. Luca growled at Jungkook, making an attempt to lounge at him but all the boys were on ther feet tackling him
"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU JUST SAY BLOODSUCKER? "
My brothers voice was deep, too deep like manly. His roar was loud as I saw his alpha instinct kicking in. His green eyes we're glowing which meant his wolf had surfaced. My father was an alpha too so I knew his power must have been passed to Luca, he has an alpha blood which made him quite stronger.
"What? You don't want the truth? Dog? "
Jungkook managed to whisper the dog word in a mocking way . He was really here to get on my brother's last nerves. Luca on the other hand was shaking violently, close to shifting and I know it'll be bloody if they release him.
I felt something wet on my cheeks before I realized I was tearing up
"I will kill you if you dare speak of my sister that way"
My brother hissed and watched as Jungkook burst out into a bittersweet laughter, a half hearted one that I knew will cause trouble
"Jungkook stop it " Jin warns but it clearly didn't a strike a nerve in him
"What? Sister? Brother?! "
He laughs once again
"What the fuck does that mean? Do you have the right to call her that? "
My brother growls at him
"Last time I checked... "
"You said you hated her, no... "
"You said you detested her! YOU LOATHED HER JUST BECAUSE SHE HAS A BLOODSUCKER AS A MATE! "
I looked over at Luca and my heart broke at how his eyes filled with guilt. He looked as if he he'd been beating himself over it. I know he feels guilty for treating me that way and I didn't want him to. He had every right to do that and Jungkook is trying to push him to blaming himself or thinking he's a bad brother
"Or is that how brothers treat their sisters? Is that a new way of brothers to express how they care, about their sisters? "
He snickered
"By telling them they detested them? "
My brother lowered his gaze in guilt and shame and I felt almost too angry about hurting him. He's hurting and it pains me that he's feeing this way because of me.
I wanted him to meet my gaze so I could assure him it was ok and that he did nothing wrong. I felt a pang of fury in me at Jungkook for what he's doing but he doesn't seem to care at all
"You mutts are ridiculous"
He insulted making Jerry and the others growl at him but he shrugged it off
"JUNGKOOK STOP IT! "
Jin yelled at him
"WHAT HYUNG?! "
He snapped
"YOU BROUGHT ME HERE BUT YOU NEVER TOLD ME NOT TO TALK RIGHT? "
He yelled menacingly and looked over at me, glaring coldly. A shiver run down my spine at his cold gaze on me
"Your sister is just a burden and too weak. Just like you Luca. I hate her gut "
A loud growl from Luca sounded and he was throwing all five boys off him and lounging at Jungkook.
I scream and broke into sobs when he gripped onto Jungkook's neck slamming him on the wall causing it to crack.
I sat up on the bed and covered my ears with as I cried, getting paranoid with all the shouting as they struggled to rip Luca off him
"If you ever talk about my sister like that, I WILL KILL YOU! "
"Oh take a card and get in line. I'm sure you'd love to join the queue of those who want to kill me "
He mocked and Luca growled louder
"Stop it "
I cry out but no one heard me
"LUCA STOP IT PLEASE! DON'T HURT HIM! "
This time I yelled with all my might and everyone froze. My brother stopped squeezing Jungkook's neck and looked me, his glowering eyes returned to normal as his eyes softened. I know he remembered me not wanting him to hurt Jungkook and the fact that he has tried to, makes him feel bad.
His grip on Jungkook losened slowly as his anger wore off due to seeing me crying.
"Please...stop it "
. I begged him between sobs and watched as Jungkook snorted
"See? "
He began, making Luca's head snap to him and growl lowly
"She's even afraid of you now, you've just shown your sister the kind monstrous beast you are "
My brothers eyes returned to look at me and I saw sadness, guilt and sorrow in them. He looked at me with a pained expression, believing Jungkook instantly and slowly released Jungkook with shaky hands, his eyes became glassy as he stepped away from him still looking at me crying. He lowered his head in shame and took a step backwards
"I'm sorry "
He mumbled and looked down sheepishly, making me cry even more at how painful it was to see the person I cared most about looking so down and defeated
"L-Luca"
I called but he shook his head and took steps backwards towards the door
A tear slipped down his face as she shook his head and in a flash, he turned away from me, shifting into his white large wolf and shredding his dress before sprinting through the door.
"LUCA! "
I called after him as I cried but he was far gone
"Go after him please "
I begged, my gaze meeting with the five boys .
Nathaniel was the first to shifted and go after him before Jerry and Jeremy followed. The rest staying behind.
Jungkook leaned on the wall with a sinister satisfied smirk on his face. I looked at him with so much hatred that I haven't had before. Seeing red as the raged fire spreads through my system like a harmattan bush fire
"Get out Jungkook! "
I yelled and he glared at me
"Luna--"
Hoseok tried to speak but I cut him off
"GET HIM OUT OF HERE I DON'T NEED HIM HERE! GET THAT HEARTLESS MONSTER FROM ME BECAUSE I'D RATHER DIE THAN FEEL HURT THIS WAY "
I cried
"Luna "
"Please Jin "
I lowered my voice, trying to maintain the respect I have for him. I watched as Jungkook disappeared, leaving only a whisk of wind behind and the other two doing same. They probably teleported. I broke down completely, my aching pain and the heat being long forgotten as I cried my heart out in pain
Jen immediately wrapped her arms around me, I clinged onto her, not snappnig at her this time and ignored the burning of her touch, crying on her shoulders with my eyes closed
"Mate is gone "
I felt a surge of fury at my wolf and glared at her mentally. I can't believe she's saying this after everything he did. It's as if she didn't just witness what just ensued
"Shut the fuck up Moon... Are you dumb, deaf or you are just blind?Another complain from you and I'm fucking injecting myself with silver and getting rid of you"
I hissed, threatening her with so much fury. I saw her whimper and go to lie at the back of my mind quietly. I resumed to sobbing on Jen's shoulder.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Luca or Jk? 😏
Hmmm, family members, good day. This is one of my favorite chapters btw.
And those who are supporting Luna, don't worry, Jungkook will regret it.
His payment will come soon so watch out ☺
