"I"

"Jeon Jungkook"

"reject you"

"....as my mate."

Just like that. A simple statement yet it bears a whole lot meaning to the name mentioned.

"Fuck!"

"Twenty-one!"

"Shut the fuck up...And stop counting!"

"Okay. But that's the twenty-second time you've said 'fuck' and oh! That's a new record! Twenty-two 'fucks' within an hour!"

Jungkook released a defeated sigh, rolled his eyes as he tucked his knees closer to his chest, hugging himself tighter while thinking of all possible reasons why he's living the most (according to him) unfortunate life.

"Hey, does it really hurt?"

Jungkook looked at--more like glared at the man who uttered a stupid question.

"Fucking-uggh!"Jungkook was cut off by the painful sensation in his chest.

"Okay! I'm gonna call Namjoon."

"Wai-tsk!...fuck."

He muttered to himself when he heard the other dashed out of his room.

Few minutes passed, just as when he thought he could finally relax, the sound of stomping feet suddenly echoed in his room and there stand Namjoon and Jin with Hoseok who called them.

"Wow."

Was all Namjoon could utter while watching their strongest and toughest heir whimpering and curled defenseless on his bed.

"Well, this is worse than expected."

Jin commented as he started going through the things in the closet, searching for a towel to wipe the overly sweating and shivering man on the bed.

"Yup! And this is all because he rejected his mate!"

Hoseok exclaimed earning a low and weak growl from the trembeling man while the other two just let out a deep sigh.

"He's intelligently stupid enough to know the effects of rejecting his mate. He'll calm down in a few days."

Namjoon stated in a not so sympathetic tone. It was more of an 'I told you so, stupid' kind of tone.

"Yeah and his wolf is definitely furious that his heat won't go away until he found someone to pound on."

Hoseok said, grinning from ear to ear as if he is enjoying the sight of his friend struggling. Well he might really be.

"Jungkook."

Jin sighed as he sat on the edge of Jungkook's bed.

"Why did you even reject your mate?"

Jin asked but Jungkook seemed out of strength to even answer. His mouth was dry and quivering, he was soaked in his own sweat, eyes were half closed and whole body trembling.

But even if he doesn't open his mouth, they already knew what he will say.

The question wasn't new to their ears and so is the answer.

"You really done it this time, Kook."

Jin stated in a soft voice out of motherly concern.

"The great Jeon Jungkook. The man who stupidly went against nature."

Hoseok happily exclaimed earning a glare from Jin.

Apparently, Jeon Jungkook, the heir of the strongest wolf pack, an alpha and a true blood doesn't believe in how the nature works. He doesn't believe in fateful meetings and going along with what others call the 'pull' and urge to throw themselves in their mate's arms. For him, it was all so stupid. He was a one in a million stubborn werewolf who denied his own instinct and denying it means denying his identity.

As an effect, he's currently fighting with his wolf. Sometimes, even his wolf couldn't stand his stubbornness.

For werewolves who reject and are rejected, they would surely suffer the pain of going against fate but soon their wolves will be on heat, finding someone to lust on and everything comes down to mental strength in which Jungkook might be or might not be good at.

Neither his parents, relatives or his pack mates know where they went wrong. How did the adorable and sweet little bunny turned into an emotionally constipated young adult that he is now. A nasty piece of work, some may even describe.

He was never good with words, awkward with people, in fact, he doesn't like people at all. He wants his personal space. He is also short tempered and a little cocky.

Only few people apart from his family could stand him 'cause he is, in all honesty, a one tough nut. Those people are the three men in the room watching him suffer. It's not like they could do anything anyway. All they could do is watch him until his heat fades. Nevertheless, they are the only people who knows when and why Jungkook became like that.

"He needs to recover faster though. He needs to explain. The Alpha will soon hear the news that he rejected the supposedly arranged marriage between him and the daughter of YG corporation."

Namjoon stated, concerned laced in his every breath. In addition to being the son of the head Alpha, Jungkook is also the assigned CEO of the Jeon Corporation at the South Korea branch while his parents run the main office located in America. He became the official CEO despite the age of 22 (welp! this is a fic so...) and he had been a great leader for almost a year now. Namjoon and Hoseok were of great help since they both work under him. Actually, most of the employees in their company are their pack mates.

"Yeah. Finding his destined mate would be a valid excuse to ditch and throw his arranged marriage and the other party would fully understand and respect since they are also werewolves but..."

"But he rejected his mate so..."

Hoseok cut Jin off and they all sighed in defeat.

In their era, finding their destined mate was really rare and only few of the werewolves could experience the greatness of it and only crazy people like Jungkook dares to throw a once in a million encounter.

"The Alpha would be pissed--no, furious. First, he rejected his destined mate and second, he literally threw the business deal off by rejecting the daughter of the CEO of YG corp for no particular reason. Our pack and their pack, we even have a really great relationship and-"

"Joonie, we get it. The deal is off which is a great problem for our company and the mate rejection is definitely an issue but it already happened and we couldn't do anything about it anymore. What we need to think about now is how to help this kid."

Jin said, momentarily stopping from wiping Jungkook's sweat.

"I..uhh..I have an idea?"Hoseok said, grinning and the two others looked at him. Their eyes were unsure but their ears were ready to hear him out.

~•~•~••~•~•~

"Serendipity."

Jungkook reads and immediately shot Hoseok a glare.

"Why the fuck are we here, hyung?"

He said in a cold tone, glaring at his hyung. Yes, his HYUNG.

"C'mon Kook! It looks like your hormones finally calmed down so this is the chance!"

Hoseok happily replied with a tap on Jungkook's shoulders.

It's true, his wolf calmed down, for now at least, but they don't know when it will strike again. Namjoon said it's probably just having a rest for now but will rise again mainly because the wolf is as stubborn as Jungkook.

So, Hoseok, with the brightest idea he could come up with, went with Jungkook out at night and brought him to a club to let Jungkook's heat be spent on someone.

A club in which Jungkook sees as a place next to hell where he would suffer. Many people, noisy and the unbearable mixture of scent that displeases all of his senses. Mixture of vampires, werewolves and humans disgusts him.

Jungkook rolled his eyes in irritation and turned his back and went towards their car.

"Wait! Jungkookie wait!!"

Jungkook immediately turned his back glaring at Hoseok. The older knew he fucked up by calling the younger "jungkookIE". Nope. He doesn't like that nickname and he wouldn't think twice to punch someone hard just by hearing that."

Call me that again and I swear I'll-"

Jungkook was cut off. His body was starting to weaken, shivers creeping up his spine again.

"Shit...fucking wolf."

He cursed under his nose as he hugged himself tight while his breath becoming more like a huff.

"Uhh...Maybe you'll get better by drinking?"

Jungkook snapped his head back at Hoseok and the latter raised his hands in defense.

But Jungkook was tempted.

"Just saying! I mean alcohol does help y'know."

Jungkook thinks otherwise though. He hates the idea, he hates the place, he hates the stench but mostly, he definitely hates the pain that he's been going through for days.

Maybe, maybe he'll consider Hoseok's idea this time.

With that, he found himself sitting at the bar counter drinking away all his misery while Hoseok is out there dancing his heart out.

"One more."

Jungkook said to the bartender. He doesn't want to admit it but Hoseok was right. After drinking god knows how many different cocktails the bar could offer, Jungkook's body undeniably relaxes under the effects of alcohol. He didn't mind the loud music, the stinky crowd and the burning taste of his drinks.

He was beginning to get a little dizzy, letting the alcohol take over his system hoping that he will have a good sleep tonight.

Until his nose twitch, catching a scent that made his wolf fully awake and actually howling in absolute bliss.

He immediately stood up turning in all directions searching the scent. It was the first time Jungkook had smelled something so alluring...something that pleases his senses like it was actually created or even existed just for him.

For some reason, it was different from what he felt with his mate. This one is way more inviting, addictive maybe that Jungkook himself wonders why he didn't feel it with his mate and it's enough to make him jump off his seat and absent mindedly follow the scent.

Half was because of curiosity and the other half was probably desire.The stench of arousal, smoke, sweat and alcohol isn't really good for his wolf nose. It clouds his amazing sense of smell and that made him even more curious as to why he was able to detect a single scent amidst of that scenario.

Jungkook stopped and found himself in the balcony where some people try to breathe cool air since it's suffocating inside.

Jungkook closed his eyes and deeply inhaled before suddenly turning his head to the side and his eyes landed at the most beautiful creature has ever seen. The man was in the corner, arms resting on the railings, body leaned forward, his ass sticking out and his head tilted on the side with his eyes already directed at Jungkook.

Jungkook felt his heat rising, burning in the other's gaze while he walked towards him, letting the man's hypnotic attraction pull him.They didn't broke their eye contact until Jungkook was right in front of the man. The other turned his whole body facing Jungkook and smirked.

A vampire. Jungkook thought and wondered why the vampire smells different from the rest of the vampires he encountered. He smell so, so, so good and so addicting.

Obviously, Jungkook checked him up. Eyes traveling from head to toe. His perfect silver disheveled locks, his sharp jaws, pink and slightly wet lips, his slender body...everything about the man is captivating as if he's not real, as if he doesn't belong to that place. No. Jungkook is sure that the man belongs to somewhere he couldn't reach.

What mesmerized Jungkook the most is the vampire's beautiful eyes that seemed to held so much mystery. It draws him to the vampire like he was being sucked into an unknown world.The vampire smiled. A smile that seemed inviting while Jungkook returned a smirk that probably bore the same intent.

He didn't know if it was still the effect of the alcohol or if it was because of his rejoicing wolf in heat or if it was because of the scent of the man engulfing him that Jungkook suddenly wrapped his arms around the man's slender waist.The vampire didn't disappoint so he swung his arm around Jungkook's neck as they both leaned closer...closer until their lips brushed against each other but not pressed.

Instead of immediately kissing, they both paused with both lips having a suggestive smile.

"Jungkook."

"Taehyung."

They uttered their own names as a simple introduction before they smashed their lips together, moving in sync as if they have done it a million times, perfectly matching each other's moves.It's dangerously hot but both were willing to melt in each other's embrace.They let the heat rise until it lights something inside them...until they burn every bit of their fierce tension through the night.
