47: Warlock
Ignore mistakes, please
Third person P.O.V
The whole place was in great chaos when a silhouette made its appearance inside the mansion after getting rid of the guards who tried to stop it.
"He is here! With odd eyes!" Someone barged inside a big hall, where four people were sitting, enjoying glasses of wine after their victory of finding their first target to get what they waited for so long.
The older one frowned at the last sentence, his smirk disappearing midway when a scream resonated at a little distance. They couldn't get much time to react when the person who barged inside before was thrown away like a weightless thing on the table near them, breaking the wooden table in an instant.
The youngest one was already on her feet, having a strange glint in her eyes as she watched Jungkook not looking like the one she encountered months ago... not that soft and kind-hearted man who accepted their disguised betas and alphas with open arms, but a feral one, with blood stains on his jacket, hands, and some on the neck.
"Why his eyes are of odd color?!" The older male sneered, but anyone could sense the lingering fear in his scent along with another one's.
Jungkook's eyes shifted to the male, his jaw gritted, making him look more intimidated to shake the legs of the spectators. "Where is my mate!"
The strongest pheromones spread around the whole place, and it was the first time all the alphas present in the room were shaking under the impact, feeling like no one in front of the male.
Once Jungkook's gaze fell on the older male beside the younger one, he snickered in amusement. "Knew it would be you, Wonhoo.... cheap as ever."
Wonhoo, the same leader of the southern pack who requested him only to attack, was standing right in front of him after his failed tries to conquer Silver Pack... his pack.
Baekhan and Minjae were always on their tail, but they missed their last destination because the whole family was too wicked to trick them, and thus, they didn't know about this new location. Little did they know that this wasn't a new location but an old one, or in other words, an old alliance.
Jungkook's eyes twitched when Jiwoo was pushed back by Hanjoo as if protecting his cousin with a fierce stance, but again, the sourness of his scent was too evident to show his fear.
"You all are cowards, still gathered around to attack me and my pack?" Jungkook growled, making Wonhoo grit his teeth, subtly sharing a glance with a moderately tall male who had white hair and sharp eyes.
"Don't cross your limits, Jeon. What are you talking about? What's this fuss about?!" The guard sprinted out of the hall once Jungkook stepped away from him, saving his life and maybe calling for backup.
"Really? You don't know where my mate is, Jae Wonhoo?" The stoic gaze filled with anger shifted to all of them one by one, stopping at the older werewolf. "Then why do you look so terrified?"
Hanjoo gulped, again pushing Jiwoo behind before stepping forward. "Mr. Jeon, your mate is not here. And you can not just barge inside any clan. It is forbidden by law, you know that, too." Looking smug at the end of bringing the law, the young alpha smirked which soon faltered when Jungkook chuckled lowly.
"Sending alpha and betas disguised as omega to seek shelter in an omega house, attacking the same pack who gave shelter just so that you can get your hands on male omega... is right by law, hm?"
The shiver that ran down their spine was much more than they ever heard about the intimacy the great Hybrid took with him everywhere. White eyes were famous, but those odd ones were new because Jungkook was talking that was never witnessed with his white eyes.
"This is your matter to solve. Don't make my clan indulge in it, Jeon." The male with white hair finally opened his mouth after looking around for quite some time.
"And you are?" The white eye narrowed before widening in a sort of excitement. "A warlock."
"Your mate is not here, Jeon. And about the other matter, we didn't know about those disguised werewolves." Jiwoo casually spewed lies, her eyes shining with a glint that Jungkook knew much better.
"And you should know that I can clearly listen to your mind, little wolfie." The reminder took aback all of them, but Jungkook just focused his gaze on Jiwoo, making the girl shift in nervousness, and right after that little moment, the raven-haired rushed out of the hall to a specific direction, his eyes burning with uncontrollable emotions. Behind him, all of the supernaturals were left frozen, even the person holding a dart in his hands ready to shoot at him.
All of them watched with helplessness, trying hard to move that didn't happen any time soon until the man with white hair tilted his head with a huge smirk.
•••••••••••
'Do we need a backup?' Yeonjun rushed inside the mansion after tracing Jungkook's scent only to find a secern mansion standing alone in the place, hearing a soft voice of Soobin in his mind, but sighing at the sight.
"No, we don't need anyone, Binie." Soobin came behind as well to witness the werewolves knocked out or bleeding heavily, grunting here and there.
"Oh lord! I informed Master SeokJin and Jimin hyung. Let's wait for them." Not wanting to interrupt something going on inside with an uncontrollable Jungkook, they decided to stay close and look around the area to find out the residents.
••••••••••••
Wangji had his back resting against the wall when Taehyung opened his eyes, looking too lost to say a word even when he started talking. "You see this dark world, Taehyung. This is how things happened."
Taehyung blinked and turned to face the other who was staring into the void, having nothing in his eyes... and it did burn his heart deep inside.
"Why don't you - "
"STAY AWAY FROM MY MATE!" The loud roar with the ear-piercing thud of the broken door made both of them see Jungkook entering the room with his bloodied hands and stained clothes, already causing the human to fear his appearance.
Wangji looked unbothered by the threat and just got up lazily from the bed while Taehyung was on his feet already, looking scared about the situation.
A small whimper left his lips when Jungkook jumped at the other taller male with his opened claws, ready to tear him into pieces, his black eye changed to red for a brief moment before coming back to normal, yet the white one remained persistent. Not knowing what to do, Taehyung just jumped between them, almost getting clawed on his arm that he used as a weak shield to protect both of them and luckily, Jungkook halted his claw at the right moment, snarling hard.
"What are you doing?! He is not your friend! He abducted you here, and you are protecting him?!" Taehyung slowly took his arm down, peering at the other's frown. The softness or fear was gone after witnessing the rage in those eyes he became fond of. All the previous nights of pain shone brightly in his eyes to dim the rays of love he followed blindly. And he yelled... he shouted with all of his might at the other who was totally taken aback by his words.
"Because he protected me!"
Wangji had his glare fixed on Jungkook, who again frowned, seeing that Taehyung was adamant about protecting him.
"Taehyung, he is our enemy. He is with those people who want to harm you."
Taehyung scoffed at that, jabbing one finger over Jungkook's chest lightly, his head tilted to the side when he mumbled with his shaky lips. "And what about you, hyung?"
The rage in Jungkook's eyes melted like wax when the words seeped deep down his mind. He knew the meaning... he knew he was to blame... he knew that it was his fault from day one... and he knew what to do about that.
The white eye stayed dry while the black one got teary when Taehyung took a deep breath and softly cupped his cheeks, softly muttering. "Don't worry, I won't let them touch your people by using me. They can not harm your people."
Your people... that hurt like a knife dipped in acid. His words were thrown back at his face.
The softest caress of cold fingers on his wet cheek was so soothing, making him lean more to it but had to stop when the touch was gone with the harsh sentence.
"I'd die on my own than dragging anyone else, especially your people."
"Pup-"
Taehyung was a little surprised to hear Jungkook's soft voice with those odd eyes, but he masked it sooner than expected. He made up his mind regarding the situation and could not press over it again because he knew it would just make him more anxious and shaky.
"Don't lure me to fall again, hyung. Because if I did, it would be impossible to gather pieces of my heart." Jungkook gaped, ready to fall this time, ready to fall on his knees if needed to stop his innocent mate.
"Pup, I'm deeply sorry for that and ready to do anything you ask me to." The desperate words differed from the blank look in his white eye. "I know, I'm doing it for the nth time, but love, please... last chance. I promise I won't let you fall this time."
Oh, how much miserable the great hybrid looked, and when there was Taehyung with a lost heart, it felt difficult to stay firm, knowing how much Jungkook was suffering and going to suffer if he didn't make the right decision right now. Noticing the war of emotions happening in Taehyung's mind, Wangji sighed.
"Why don't you just let him go?"
The sudden appearance of the red line in the white eye made Taehyung step back in alert when Wangji spat with sarcasm, not sounding intimidated at all.
"STAY OUT OF IT BEFORE I BEHEAD YOU!"
"YOU STAY OUT OF HIS LIFE IF YOU CAN NOT PROTECT HIM!"
The heated argument sounded normal, but the strange suffocation that Taehyung felt was totally different from being normal. But again, nothing was normal in his life since he met Jungkook.
"What? Who are you to say that?" Taehyung gulped, finding the situation getting worse when Jungkook's claws came out again, ready to pounce upon Wangji who chuckled amusingly.
"Exactly. You don't even know who am I, Jeon Jungkook." The said male glared hard as if pinning the other down using his equally raging eyes. "Your sweet and kind mother would never let you know who we are to you." And how much Jungkook tried to read his mind, he couldn't, and it just left him frustrated when the other smirked.
"You can not read my mind, Jeon. I am also a warlock, who is just as powerful as you are as a werewolf." Taehyung glanced between them, rubbing his hand slowly at his abdomen which felt uneasy.
'Sire, where are you? Can you hear us? Should we come inside the mansion?' Jin's panicked voice was the thing to stop him when he opened his mouth to rebuke but his heart skipped a beat when in an instant, everything around him turned foggy, making it impossible to see anything even with his supernatural vision. Through zero visibility, it did catch Taehyung opening his mouth to say something, but just whispers of Wangji resonated in his mind when the room was back to normal with him standing alone at the place.
'Don't forget to ask your mother about Xiao Jiang.'
