Chapter 24
The Strongest Alpha's Mate/J.JK
*Jungkook's pov*
When hyung's suggested at the beginning that Shenu should live with us or else I would go insane, I all gave them a nasty look. Cause I am not that depressed without a mate and my wolf wasn't that much of a horny, possessive alpha over his mate.
Okay I would admit the last part wasn't true. However now I do understand what they meant. This past three days have been a total hell for me. My mate is laying there unconscious and I can't stay by her side because of her stupid late heat. On the top of that I had to cover my anger, Pain and depression with a fake joyful face for our comeback. It was really hard for all of us knowing that she isn't with us, but we have to do that for our army.Finally today I can meet her cause her heat is over. Nick is so impatient to be with his mate, to see his glorious white wolf and hold her closer to him when she wake up.
As soon as we entered the with I felt the pack link and the first thing I heard from the link was the three words we all were dying to hear. 'She is awake' mum linked everyone. As soon as I heard those three words I jumped out of the car and shifted into my wolf to use my speed to approach her faster. As the pack house came into my view I shifted back and wore my dresses that I carried and hurried towards her room.
When I opened the door to her room the sight I saw made me freeze in my spot. There she was on the bed covering her naked body with a blanket. Nick used this as his advantage and took the control. His eyes darkened seeing her like this. He wanted to jump at her and mark her right there, but I hold him back using my all strength. It's really hard to fight against our alpha instincts. But all my efforts went vain when I heard her melodious voice. I lost it there. He slammed my lips against her to kiss her hungrily but I took control before that happened. I wanted to pull back, but her lips were addicted. It was soft and sweet that I can't have enough of. Without a realization I wrapped my hands around her and deepened the kiss. It was the best kiss ever in my life. Well it was my first kiss. Yes I had never kissed anyone before. Even though I flirt with other girls to hurt her, to show her that I don't want her, I never cross the boundaries. I didn't want to let her go but I had to pulled back as we both ran out of breath. I enjoyed the taste of her lips in mine for a while until I realized what I did.
No I don't want her. I don't want a weakness again in my life. I quickly apologized and ran away from there before I loose it again and give up to my instincts. My wolf whimpered for the lost of his mate touch, But I didn't care. I need to stay away from her or else all my efforts will go vain. No I can't go through that pain again!

*Shenu's pov*
I stayed at the room yesterday avoiding everyone. Today early in the morning we decide to head back to Seoul cause the boys have to practice for their Music bank performance tomorrow. They didn't want to leave me, so I decided to go with them and rest at the home. At the drive back to Seoul they all asked questions about my wolf and the only answer I could give them was 'I don't know'. They all assumed that I maybe be a true-blood cause my eyes were silver and I made everyone bow down to me. But we are not sure cause my fur color is odd. They reminded me that I have to take a decision about Hyungsik's pack. Since I killed their alpha now I am technically their leader. The memory made me cringed. I killed a person.
'He deserve that' my wolf snapped. Ah I have to get use to an other voice in my head.
As we entered the dorm I decide to take a nap since it is still early. They informed me that they would be gone for the practice when I wake up. I just nodded my head. I am still kind of avoiding everyone, but they decide to give me some time to adjust and I am really thankful that they didn't push me to talk. After back the last incident they didn't want me to leave alone so everyone pressured Jungkook to stay with me until they return. I agreed to it and went to my room for a nap.
********
When I woke up Jungkook was no where in sight. I saw two guards outside as always when I am alone. Maybe Jungkook must have went outside for something. Since it is almost noon I decide to make lunch for him as a thank giving for saving me. This is the first time I am cooking for someone. It was almost 2 o'clock when I was done with cooking. Now I have to do is wait for him. I sat on the dining table and wait for him to arrive.
********
I woke up to the sound of a door opening. Is he here? I rubbed my sleepy eyes and waited for him to show up, but what I didn't expect to see is a concern Taehyung standing there.
"Pumpkin are you okay? We was so worried about you!" he said as he sat in front of me grabbing an other chair. I looked at him confused. I grabbed my phone to check the time and it was 5.30 p.m. And there was 98 messages in our groups chat along with 31 missed calls. My mouth formed a 'oh' shape seeing that all the boys must have been worried about me cause I didn't reply.
"We all called and texted to check on you, but you didn't reply. So we all got worried and I came early to check on you. Thank God you are okay! By the way where is Jungkook?" he asked looking around to find Jungkook.
"Wasn't he there with you guys?" I asked with narrowed eyes. I thought since he didn't return he must have join the practice with boys. Tae shook his head confused. What? If he wasn't with them, where is he? What is he doing outside for this long?
"Tae call him and asked where he is? Put the call on speaker!" I said. he gave me questioning look but did as I said. After back fifth ring Jungkook answered the phone.
"Jungkook where are you?" Tae questioned.
"I am out hyung. Are you guys home yet?" He asked
'Don't tell him that you are with me.' I mind-linked Tae. He nodded his head at me.
"No we are not. I just wanted to check on Shenu. What are you doing out?" Tae questioned again wanting to know what is he doing?
"Oh I just wanted to distract my mind, So I decide to take Hanna for the movie I promised her to!" he said and that's when the tears I have been holding for these past few days came out from my eyes like a water fall." That's why Hanna left earlier from the work!" Tae mumbled to himself and his eyes reddened from anger.
"You are an asshole Jungkook!" He snapped at him and end the call to give me a hug of comfort. I have been waiting for him whole day and he was on a date with an other girl.
***********
*Tae's pov*
My blood boiled when I heard what Jungkook said and felt the pain of her. How dare he hurt her like this way? I hugged to comfort her and rubbed soothing circles on her back. That's when I noticed the food on the dining table. Did she cook? That thought doubled my pain. She must have prepared a meal for him and waited for him to arrive while he is on a date with an other girl.
"Oppa please take me away from here!" She pleaded with a weak voice. I would have opposed her but she the way she called me made me listen to her. Cause she never called me oppa unless she is serious. She needs some time alone now and someone to console her. And I would be that person as always.
I took her to a less crowded park. We sat on a bench and stayed silent giving her sometime. She kept staring at the now dark sky with a lost gaze.
"My current father isn't my biological father Tae." She said out of the blue. I looked at her with confusion and saw she is still staring at sky. A tear drop escaped from her already swollen eyes. I have this urge to wipe away her tears and hug her telling everything will be okay. But I know better than anyone else that she needs to release her pain through the tears.
"I have a younger sister. When she was 6 months and I was 2 years our biological father left us. My mum looked after both us with a great struggle as a single mother. She went abroad handing us to her mother to earn money. When I was 4th grade she met the real love of her life and they got married. He accept both of us and treat us like his own children. I am still grateful for my dad. But they both had to stay in abroad for our welfare. So I didn't receive my parents love as much as a kid. Granny was the one who looked after us. Well lets say that we didn't had a great relationship. She really loved my sister a lot but not me. She did love me but didn't show it cause I remind her of my father. She hate my father with a burning passion. So she passed that hatred towards me." She released a painful sigh as I watched she is opening up to me.
"I was the eldest in the family. Even all my cousins are younger than me. So everyone had a great expectation on me. It was a big burden for me. I got bullied in my primary school because I didn't had my parents with me and I was so innocent and friendly with everyone. So they took me as a weak person and bullied me. But all those things made me to a person which I was not. I turned into a cold person. Instead of get bullied I start to bully the others who bullied me. I turn into a monster. I never trusted anyone. Specially men except my dad. I didn't let anyone into my heart and I didn't show love to anyone. Even to my own sister. She fell in love with a guy when she was 17 and ran away with him. That's where my turning point was. I got lonely without her cause she was the only comfort I had even though I didn't show it to her. So I start to get more and more closer to my parents to erase my loneliness. And finally when I finished my high school I went to live with them. The only dream I had was South-Korea. I always felt a conection with this country.So my parents decide to sent me here. And I was determined to change my attitudes when I came here." She finally looked at my concern face. Tears were welled up in my eyes.
"I really tried my best to change oppa. I really did. I tried to become that old innocent girl I lost inside me, but look what I am getting. As always pain. Why everyone sees my innocents as a weakness? Why they are hurting me? Don't I deserve happiness in my life? I always wondered why I didn't date anyone? Why I feel so connected to Korea? Now I know the answer. All my life I have been waiting for him. I was saving myself for him unknowingly, but look what I am getting in return. Only hatred and pain from him." at this point she was a crying mess. Without caring about my early thoughts about giving her some space I grabbed her hugged closer to my chest.
"It's okay pumpkin! It's okay! You deserve every happiness in this world pumpkin. And I will make sure you will get it one day. I am here for you princess. I am here for you." I whispered into her ear. She hugged me back and we cried in each other arms for hours until she calmed down.

*Jin's pov*
It's almost midnight and Tae and Shenu is nowhere to be found. When we returned home the guards said that both of them left saying that they want some time alone and didn't want them to follow. Jungkook came after a while and that's when we knew that he wasn't at the dorm whole this time. I wanted to smack at his head but stopped when his eyes darkened hearing from the guards that Tae took a crying Shenu out. That got all of us worried. Why was she crying?
All of us waited for them in the living room. Jungkook walking back and forth while pulling his hair occasionally in frustration. We tried to call them. But both of their phones were hear. And we couldn't mind-link them. It was blocked. I am in a verge of crying. Jimin sat next to me and rubbed my back to console me. Namjoon and Suga is trying to calm Jungkook while J-hope called everyone to find out where they are.
All of us froze when we heard the front door opening. Here comes the duo. Tae was holding my baby in his arms. She looked so pale and her eyes were red and puffy. Tae's eyes were also swollen. What happen to them? I stand up and was about run towards her
"Don't say or ask anything" Tae mind-linked us. We all looked at him in confused and Jungkook groaned. She gave a look to Tae and he released her to let her go. She walked past all of us avoiding all of our eyes.
"Where was you?" Jungkook asked when she walked past him. She stopped on her track for a second and start walking again ignoring his question.
"Where are you going?" This time he asked sternly. Once again she stopped on her track
"That is non of your business" She said blankly.
"It is cause I am your mate." she released a mocking chuckle at that which got Jungkook pissed. Jungkook walk on head of her and stand in front of her with gritted teeth. Tae was about to go to them but Suga grabbed his hand and stopped him.
"As your mate I have every rights to know where you was!" he asked again annoyed
"As I know you don't want a mate. So this is non of your FUCKING CONCERN JUNGKOOK!" She yelled. All of us gasped cause this is the first time she cursed. And that also at Jungkook. Jungkook stared at her with wide eyes. She was about to walk past him when he grabbed her forearm and pulled her back to where she was. His eyes were red from anger.
"Well that is my fucking concern cause all of us was worried over you while all this time you roam around like a whore at a hour like this!" He snapped back at her.
"Oh really! When last time I check it was you who flirt with other women and roam around with them like a MAN WHORE!" She yelled. That's it!
*SLAP!*
All of us gasped for the second time.Her head turns to side from the impact and she slowly brought her hands to her cheek to touch where Jungkook slapped her! He slapped her. Jungkook slapped her.
"ENOUGH!" We all turn our heads where the sound came from and saw Suga holding back a red eyed Taehyung. We all gasped for the third time in day and Jungkook's eyes widened. Cause this is the first time we saw Tae's wolf in control. Even though when Tae shift into his wolf form he would be in control, cause his wolf wouldn't listen to anyone as he is different. The only one he would listen to is Jungkook. And today he raised his voiced against Jungkook. We all broke out of our trance when we heard a loud lough braking the silence. And we all turn our heads to see my baby, Shenu is laughing loudly throwing her head back.
******
*Third person pov*
Everyone gave her a odd look. As a girl who just receive a slap from her mate, it's not normal to laugh like this. And the most strange thing was her eyes turned darker each second along with her laugh. It echoed in all room giving goosebumps to everyone.
She laughed like a maniac. It scared everyone. This is not the girl they knew. She looks different. And they knew what ever gonna come next is definitely not good.
"Oh Jeon did you just slap me? That is not so nice of you, but I would like to inform you that you just woke up the monster inside me. What? You thought that I am just a innocent little girl who can't defend herself? Oh hell no Jeon! All these time I try to become a good mate to you. To give you a chance. But you just brought the worst out of me. From now on you will see who really I Am!" She said each word with venom evident in her voice and walked away leaving everyone in a shock.
And that's where all the hell start to break!
