Jimin falls silent. Yoongi cannot speak.
Taehyung lets out a tightly held breath, “there you go. Let's go hyung. We wasted our time here a lot. We need to move.”
With that he leaves, leaving the mated couple staring after him.

"What do you mean you have talked to him before hyung?" Jungkook asks, his voice careful.
Hoseok's expression does not give anything away as he nods again, "when I went to visit the city, to talk with Sooyon like I was asked to by Grandma Jieun."
"Soo yon?" Jungkook echoes,

"the beta who does the dirty work- why would Grandma Jieun want you to meet her?"
"Sooyon was tasked to do something against the pack and Grandma wanted me to take care of it-"
Namjoon watches them silently. Jungkook frowns harder, "if she were, how did grandma know about it?"

“That I did not ask her. You know I cannot ask sher things like this but I went to the city”, Hoseok nods, “that is when I met Omega Taehyung.”
Jungkook watches him.
Hoseok hesitates, “Sooyon had introduced me to him. As her friend,” he says quietly.
“Her friend”, Jungkook

echoes, his frown clears slightly.
Hoseok nods, presses his lips together, “her friend who wanted to ask about you.”
“About me?” Jungkook asks.
“About you. About your Luna.”
Jungkook's jaw ticks, “and what did you tell that friend hyung?”

Jungkook's jaw ticks, “and what did you tell that friend hyung?”

"That you had a Luna already. That you were waiting to mate the Luna."
Jungkook stares, “it is him, but it is him-”
“I did not know it was him”, Hoseok says, “you told me about you finding your fated mate, I did not know who it was- the task Grandma Jieun gave was for you-I-”
Jungkook stares, “it is him, but it is him-”
“I did not know it was him”, Hoseok says, “you told me about you finding your fated mate, I did not know who it was- the task Grandma Jieun gave was for you-I-”

Jungkook feels his insides cripple at that, “you told my fated mate I wanted someone else as a mate?” his voice drops, “you told Taehyung I wanted someone else?”
Hoseok bites his lips, “I did not know who he was! I was told he was just a random omega Sooyon wanted after you-”
Hoseok bites his lips, “I did not know who he was! I was told he was just a random omega Sooyon wanted after you-”

“Hyung. You knew I found my fated mate. You knew it was someone from the city. Why else would they ask about me, why-”
“Sooyon told me otherwise”, Hoseok gulps, “she-”
“I do not want to listen. How could- is that why Taehyung rejected me?”
Hoseok looks surprised as his eyes

turn amber, "he rejected you? His own fated mate?"
Jungkook looks angered, "did he know who you were? Did he-"
"I went there is the Jeon packs beta. Officially. There were other wolves”, Hoseok presses his lips together.
“So he knew”, Jungkook presses his hands on his forehead

as his eyes turn red, “how could you- how, that is my mate!” Jungkook sounds crazed, “that is my- and you are supposed to be my representative, you- before I even asked him you- you-”
“You should hear the whole thing, Jungkook”, Namjoon says, voice firm, quiet, “it is not Hobi's

“I do not care”, Jung almost shouts, his aloha timbre raging, “it was supposed to be between me and Taehyung. You should not have spoken at all, you should not have-”
“Even if it was at the risk of hurting your mate?” Hoseok asks.
“What?” Jungkook snaps, his eyes on

Hoseok.
Namjoon watches them, “Jungkook you do not understand. There was several things at play here- there-”
“I do not care. I just know that my hyung also broke my trust and pushed himself where he-”
“Jungkook, there was Jiwon there as well. In the city,” Namjoon breaks it.

Jungkook feels lightheaded, “what?”
Hoseok nods, “Grandma Jieun sent me there saying Sooyon had been paid to harm your to be Luna, that she was tasked by some pack to do so- I immediately did go to the city because it is your Luna. This was a few days after you had that waist

chain made. Sooyon was there. So was Jiwon. And she was wearing a waist chain. She had told me it was your waist chain. I had no reason not to believe her, Jungkook. She was your betrothed and you told me she could be your fated mate, you were not sure when we had that
16
conversation so I believed her. It was my mistake. That was my mistake. Saying it to Taehyung- it sounded like a small cost to pay to save Jiwon from the trouble Sooyon was causing her. That Grandma Jieun told me Sooyon was causing her."
"To save Jiwon, you sacrificed my fated

Mate?"
Hoseok's amber eyes shine in heavy guilt, "I will take any punishment you give me. It is my fault for not checking with you. It is my fault for speaking with Taehyung without knowing who he is.”
Jungkook does not know what to say. He does not know what he can say.

Namjoon speaks then, “you need to punish every single wolf who deserves it. You need to be strong, find your mate first and then punish everyone. Denouncing your position is not enough for what they have done. Everyone has played with fate so you need to tap into your strict
19
alpha and punish them. You need to."
Jungkook feels his insides burning as he stares ahead, he just wants Taehyung. He does not want to think about anyone else, he has thought of the pack, the member all his life, je just wants to think of his mate now.

Jungkook's shoulder, "first find him. He left with Yoongi and Jimin. You take Hoseok," Jungkook goes to shake his head in anger but Namjoon presses his hand on his shoulders more, "he is the fastest tracker wolf. You should track them down soon. We cannot get in contact with them
21
unless Yoongi finds it safe to. So, leave for now.”
Jungkook gulps, his insides fill with the rage, the weakness but he nods.
They shift midair as Namjoon watches before they are disappearing behind the forest.

“Namjoon”, Seokjin says, “you should have told Jae to tell them about Jungkook looking for them too.”
“It would have risked Taehyung's safety more to the pack then”, Namjoon says, “I cannot trust Jae not to tell the elders about this order.”

Jin presses his lips together, “what if he mentions what the pack is doing? That they decided to keep up the pretense that Jungkook will come back and mate Jiwon and are continuing with the rituals?”
Namjoon stares at his mate, “I should have gone to the city. I should have

Namjoon shakes his head, “but what if he does? What if he does tell them what the pack is doing? Jae does not know Jungkook denounced his Alpha heir position and he left-”

Seokjin clutches at Namjoon's hands tightly, “then we need to tell Jungkook to track his

mate faster! Before the knife lodges deeper inside Taehyung that this becomes irreparable.”
Namjoon sighs.
“Jungkook is never going to forgive anyone.”
“He should no, should he?” Jin asks sadly, “I would never imagine they would play with fate too. But they did.”
Namjoon sighs.
“Jungkook is never going to forgive anyone.”
“He should no, should he?” Jin asks sadly, “I would never imagine they would play with fate too. But they did.”

Namjoon bites his lips, “I do not think I can forgive them too. It disgusts me, it- we are a powerful pack. Yet we failed our heir.”
Seokjin gulps, “there is a lot of cleansing to do”, he whispers, “it is time to.”
Namjoon watches him before he nods.

Taehyung watches Jimin, his eyes drop to the hand Jimin is using to caress his lower stomach- he is now five months in - it has been two months since Taehyung escaped, since their lives were turned.
Jimin is caressing his lower stomach almost thoughtlessly.

They are travelling between inns to inns on the roads, going further south- away from the city, the pack.
The caravan shakes, making Taehyung dizzy. But he holds it in as he stares outside.
Jungkook should be getting mated now no?

Tonight is supposed to be the alpha's mating ceremony.
He should be mating her.
He had always wanted to mate her after all.

“He has /chosen/ Taehyung that night, he has-”
“He only chosen me for sex”, he says, making the others in the caravan let out scandalous gasp, making Jimin snap his head away from him and Yoongi to fall silent, “it was just pleasure”, Taehyung says,
