Chapter 25

*Jungkook pov*

I blinked. Once, Twice, Thrice! What just happened?

Even before I can register what happened someone grabbed my hand and dragged me to where the dining table was.

"See this! She prepared this for you!" I came out from my daze and look at the dining table to see there is food on it. We didn't notice this before. I looked at Taehyung who dragged me here. "She cooked for you Jungkook. She cooked for the first time of her life and that was for you. She prepared this as a thanks giving for saving her and waited for your arrival starving herself while you was busy going on a date with someone else." He explained so we can understand

"It wasn't a date Tae! I just want to distract my mind." I tried to reason out.

"Well it look like a one for us. 'Us' means including the girls you are taking out or flirt to distract yourself Jungkook!" he said annoyingly. Everyone nodded their head agreeing with him. I kept silence without not knowing what to say. Is that's what it look like? Tae sighed and stand in front of me.

"What you know about her Jungkook? Do you know anything about her life? about her parents? whether she has sibling or not? What are her likes and dislikes?" he questioned "You know nothing about her Jungkook! Yet you judge her.And that also as a slut." he said last part with a scoff.

"You know that I didn't mean it Tae?" I said through the gritted teeth. He is getting on to my nerves.

"This is not the first time you called her that Jungkook." he said shaking his head disappointingly. "For the fucking sake she is your mate Jungkook! Your mate and our Luna!" I growled at his disrespect,but he didn't mind. " How would you feel when your own mate insult you in front of others? Wouldn't you get embarrassed? That's what she is going through every time you insult her in front of us, her pack members. How could she expect us to respect her when her own mate doesn't?" he questioned making me lowered my head in shame. It never wasn't my intention to insult her, but my anger get on my way. Every time I hurt her, I wanted to apologize, but my ego which is higher than the 'Eiffel Tower' wouldn't let me.

"I am sorry Jungkook! What ever she said was correct, this time I wouldn't be on your side Jungkook!" he said taking a step back like he is stepping away from my life."Do you know why my wolf respect you? Submit to you when he doesn't to anyone?" all of us gave him a questioning look. We all knew that his wolf is different and wouldn't submit to anyone except me. I always wondered what the reason is? "Cause I was the protector of your unborn mate Jungkook! I was the protector of the next queen. That's why my wolf wouldn't submit to anyone cause his master is the ruler." that was the second bomb that bumped into my head for the day. Everyone gasped and I was taken back from that information.

"We submit to you out of respect Jungkook, cause you are the mate of my master that I never met. We understood your pain Jungkook, cause both of us lost someone very important in our life. That's why I was able to break your bubble back then that you create around you." I was beyond shock from everything that happened today.

"But today you lost my respect Jungkook. What you did was unacceptable!" disappointment was evident in his voice. This is my best friend. The friend that stayed loyal to me, got my side and held my back in every time I needed. But today that friend is taking someone else side. "I am not gonna stay away and watch whatever pain you are giving her Jungkook! This time she has me. No matter what her decisions is, I am gonna support her Jungkook" Everyone watched silently, the friend that always took my side is talking against me. With said that he walked away without an other word like she did. Jin hyung dropped to the floor holding his head. Others were too shocked to react.This is too much to take in. I made two important people in my life against me. At this point I knew one thing clearly. I screwed up.

*********

*Shenu's pov*

I heard it! I heard every single word of their argument last night. I am happy cause as he promised Taehyung stayed by my side, but I don't want him to fight with his best friend because of me. I know they would eventually make it up, cause Tae can't stay angry with anyone for too long. He is too good for his own good. I stopped on my track when the dorm came into my view. I woke up early today for a jog.

"Good morning Shenu!" Jimin oppa greeted brightly when I entered the living room. I just simply mumbled a 'good morning' to acknowledge his presence. I took look at his appearance and noticed that he is wearing his training clothes. A basketball short and a sleeveless t-shirt. He must have waken up early to train. He gave me a questioning look seeing my appearance and followed me to the kitchen where I grabbed a glass of juice for me.

"Oppa is your offer still available?" I asked out of the blue. His eyes widened not excepting this. Well can't blame him. The girl who pretend like he is invisible when ever he talks about training is asking him to train her. When he realized that I am waiting for his answer he nodded his head eagerly.Normally I would have smile at him but I didn't.

"Want to start now? It's 6 a.m. now. We have one hour until others wake up." I asked long forgetting my glass of juice. He gave me a smirk.

"Eager I see! Lets see whether you will have the same spirit when we are halfway through." He said with amusement.

"Don't go easy on me oppa!" I returned the smirk.

*Jungkook's pov*

True to her words she is changing.

Today we found her coming out from the basement with Jimin where we train. They both were sweating meaning they were training. Everyone greeted happily like always, but instead of getting a cheerful greeting with the brightest smile from her we all received a simple 'Good morning' with a blank face.

When we all discussed about our performance today she said that she would join us later cause she has lectures in the morning, but she didn't until the last hours. She showed up with Seguli and finished all of her paper works in a corner and headed home with her telling that she is in a hurry and can't wait for us.

When we came to the dorm we found her sitting in the living room with a backpack on her hand waiting for us.

"Where are you going baby?" Jin hyung asked panicked.

"Oppa we are planing to have a girls night-out and a sleepover. So I am going to the pack house. Seguli will pick me up!" She said calmly. Jin hyung opened and closed mouth like a fish without knowing what to say.

"She doesn't need to come. We are going to the pack house too. You can go with us." I said which made her narrowed her eyes at me.

"We are?" J-hope hyung questioned

"Yes we are! We haven't train for so long. So we should train tomorrow!" I said earning questioning glance from everyone.

"Okay! Get ready. I will inform Seguli." She said and walked away leaving me with these guys who are giving me suspicious look.

"What? I said the truth. We should train to master our fighting skills." I said blankly

"Like you need one?" Jimin scoffed.

*********

When we entered the pack house we met Seguli in the entrance waiting for Shenu. All of us headed inside to find Woobin and Jisoo cuddling in the living room couch. Shenu cleared her throat to get there attention.

"Oppa can I borrow your wife tonight?" She asked standing in front of them.

"May I asked why?" Woobin hyung questioned.

"We are planing to have a girls night" She answered simply

"Well then you can't have her in a girls night since she is a women." Woobin hyung teased earning a playful slap from Jisso noona.

"Okay! Plan changed." She said looking at Seguli and then turn towards hyung again. " We are planing to have a two girls and a women night." She sassed back earning chuckles from all of us. "Now excuse us!" She said and grabbed Jisso noona dragging her away along with Seguli. We all stared at their diapering body dumbfound.

'I like her new attitude.' my wolf said smugly.

"When did she become feisty?" Woobin hyung asked surprised since this is the first time Shenu talked to him like that.

"Since last night thanks to your brother." Suga hyung said taking a seat next him. They all turn their heads towards me like waiting for my confess. Woobin hyung listen to the whole thing silently. We all wait for his response. After back a long paused he finally opened his mouth.

"You screwed up big time brother." Everyone nodded their head agreeing with him. I sighed. I knew it the moment I raised my hands on her. I am screwed!

*********

The next morning We found Shenu along with Tae and Jimin in the training ground already finishing their lap. We joined them and soon other pack members arrived to the training ground. While we were stretching I noticed Yeoul walking towards me with a luggage bag behind her.

"Oppa I missed you!" She squealed and clung on to my hand. Everyone gave her a annoying glance. My wolf growled inside my mind. He doesn't like it when an other female rather than my mate touch our body.

"Are you going somewhere?" I asked taking my hand away from her grasp. She pouted making me cringe at that. But I didn't show it. I am not that much of a rude guy. 'Except for our mate' My wolf scoffecd.

"I am not going anywhere. I am returning home. I was in my uncle's pack last two weeks. Didn't you notice my absent oppa?" She trying to grab my hand again.

"He didn't, but I did!" We all turn where the sound came from and saw my mate standing near us with a blank face. I didn't notice her coming neither did I smell her closer to me. She is doing it again. She is hiding her scent like the day of she shifted for the first time. "Nice to see you again wolf!" She said mockingly. "Me too human!" Yeoul replied. I except her to snap back at Yeoul for calling her human. But she just shrugged and turn towards us.

"I came here to inform that alpha want to meet us now in his office." She said and leaved. What is wrong with this girl. She wouldn't speak more than three sentences at once. I kind of miss her old cheerful side.

We all followed her to the office where we was greeted with a unexpected sentence. 'I am planing to step down from the alpha position' That's what my dad said as soon as we all gathered in the office including my mum and brother along with his mate.

"But alpha why suddenly?" Namjoon hyung asked shocked.

"This is not sudden. I was planing this for a while now. I wanted to hand the pack to Jungkook when he turned 18, but I waited until he find a mate for himself. Now he found his mate, so why not hand the pack to him?" My dad explained. My mum was sitting next to him smiling at me reassuringly.

"Isn't it too early dad?" I asked unsure.

"I was 20 years old when I become the alpha son." he reason out.

"But what about Shenu? She is new to all of this were-wolf thing." I said pointing towards Shenu who sat next to me silently whole this time.

"I will do it!" She suddenly blurt out taking all of us by surprise.

"Dear you don't have to push yourself for-" Shenu raised her hand stopping my mum's sentence.

"One day or an other I will have to do this. If Jungkook is ready, I will stay by her side and support him." She said determined.

"I am proud of you Shenu. I am sure you will be a great Luna. Beside you have all of us to support you." My dad said with a wide smile earning a light smile from her. But it disappeared as soon as is appeared in her face. "Well since you guys are busy with your come-back we will hold the ceremony next February!" My dad informed

"Are you sure about this dad?" I asked for the last time. Cause sooner or later I will have to do this. So why not now.

"I believe you mare than myself son." My dad assured me. We all talked about it some more and exit the room together leaving my mum and dad alone. Shenu walked ahead of us. I wanted to ask her whether she is sure about this and walked ahead of her and stand in front of her blocking her path. Others also stopped on their track.

"Are you-" I started but got cut-off by her.

"Don't get the wrong idea Jungkook. I am just fulfilling my responsibilities as a Luna until you find a one." Her last words froze me. All of us looked at her like she grew two heads. "You made it clear that you don't want me as a mate Jungkook. I got it. But I can't stay away from you cause I have responsibilities as the future Luna. So I have to do this until you find a perfect Luna for you. Once you find a perfect mate for yourself we can reject each other and walk in our separate path." She said it without no emotion on her face. My whole body weakened hearing the word rejection. My wolf growled inside me. Nooo! I wouldn't let that happen.

Without a second thought I pinned her to the wall, her hands above her head. My eyes start to turn silver. Nick is trying to take control.

"Don't you dare take the control Nick!" She growled at me. Nick stopped taking control at her words. " You didn't try to take control and stop Jungkook when ever he hurt me. Now don't you dare take control and boss me around." She spat those words with so much hatred that made me stepped away from her.

"You lost your control over me long ago mate!" She said those words venom evident in her voice and walked away leaving me stunned.

'This is all your fault human!' Nick snapped furiously.
