NO ONE P.O.V

"She's a child!" Lisa say as she hugged the girl that start sobbing in fear. "I've killed newborns before. This girl is nothing." He says plainly as the cracks around them grow bigger causing people to panic. Lisa looked around her pack.

She knew that if she continue, her people will get hurt so she turn towards the Demon Alpha "Fine, you can stay!" She says making the shaking stop instantly. Jungkook hummed and snap his finger making the cracks disappear as nothing had happened just now.

He brings up his palm and the shattered plushie slowly floats in the air. The thread slowly connected with each other once again as it soon turned into the exact same plushie in his palm. Lisa looked at him in surprise when he fixed the plushie.

He grab the plushie and return it back to the little girl before walking past Lisa as he went straight to the packhouse with a blank expression on his face. Lisa's gaze left his figure as she look at the little girl that are starring at her plushie in confusion.

"Mr.Tiddy, I saw you got tore apart by that meanie guy. How are you still alive?"

The silence in the living room was too loud. Jungkook had made himself comfortable on the sofa. Taehyung is watching over Jungkook cautiously while shielding his mate behind him, worried if things might go wrong.

Jungkook doesn't even bother to look at the two as he glances at one of the omega, who he guesses as a maid "Don't bother making me any food, just a cup of tea." Hearing his voice, the maid stiffens up and swiftly nod as she excuses herself.

When the maid leaves, Jungkook's gaze finally lends on Taehyung "Why are you so in distress, Taehyung? Worry that I might kill you or I harm your mate." Jungkook ask as he raise his left eyebrow but Taehyung didn't say anything making Jungkook huff.

"If that's the reason. Shouldn't you be thinking about the consequence when you thought about running away from me?" Jungkook asks and crosses his arm "Loosen up, if I want you to die, you'll die the moment I enter this house." He says coldly but it was enough to make Taehyung feel a little at ease.

Soon someone enters the living room. Jungkook's gaze lends on Lisa who is entering the living room with Rose following her from behind. Jungkook tilts his gaze as he stares at the witch "I thought you would hide from me." He ask but Rose just let out a breath.

"What's the use of hiding when you know where we are?" She answers back making Jungkook smile in amusement. "You know that we are the imperial souls but you still don't kill us, why?" Rose asks straightforward making everyone look at her in surprise.

But Jungkook just gives her an unbothered look. The maid soon comes out of the kitchen with a cup of tea in her trembling hand. She places it in front of Jungkook and backs off. As soon as the maid backs away, Jungkook takes the tea and sips it on it as he sighs and looks at Rose.

"You're clever enough to find out that you're the Imperial Souls but can't find out the reason let you go? That's a disappointment." He mocked and sip on the tea once again. Lisa just stare at Jungkook during the conversation, she can't say anything, she doesn't have any words.

Rose cross her arm "Whatever your plan is. You would never succeed in killing anyone." She says daringly but Jungkook just gives her a bored look "What's make you think, I'm keeping you to kill someone?" He asked "what else would the reason be? You're a killer."

"What does it makes a difference on you mortals?" He asked as he gaze at her with his sharp red eyes. "I kill mortals who are not innocent and I am cruel? What about you mortals?" He asked but this time Rose keep silent, Jungkook glance at the maid that had made him the tea.

"You guys make your own species as your servant. For what?" He asked again "She works to earn money." Rose answered in a firm voice but Jungkook suddenly ask "How much did she earn? A penny? She could just buy a piece of bread for herself and her mother. Barely could buy medicine for her mother and she eats chicken once a year."

"You? You can eat those every day without running out any chicken." He says making the maid look at him, wondering how did he know. Seeing the lack of reaction from Rose, Jungkook scoffs. "Still not cruel? You, mortals, kill each other to grow your territories or you would force your children to get married with another pack to do so. Isn't it cruel?"

"That's different. It's for peace-" Rose was cut off when Jungkook let out a dry chuckle "When I kill a sinful person it was cruel? But it's different for you guys because you kill for peace?" Jungkook sip on his tea "This is one of the reasons why I despise mortals." He mutters loud enough for them to hear.

He stares at the cup in his palm silently and finally say "You mortals play with words all the time to make you guys look like the good guys. It's a never-ending cycle. Never change." He say and finally stood up. He walk past Rose who just stood there in silence.

"Lisa, show me my room." Hearing that, Lisa glanced at everyone once and sigh when everyone just stood in their position stunned. Lisa turn around and follow after Jungkook. Rose bit her bottom lips as deep down she admit it.

Jungkook wasn't lying

•••••

Lisa and Jungkook walk side by side along the hallway. His step was slow and Lisa are happy to follow along silently. He was so silent that Lisa slowly replay his words in her head.

"it's different for you guys because you kill for peace?"

Right, Lisa had heard about some packs fighting for territory, and come to think of it, her father was involved in it once too. That makes her wonder, Do we really kill for peace? Is killing the only option? She never asks herself that.

"It's a never-ending cycle. Never change."

When he said that, it was as if he was talking from experience. Was he really? Jungkook, what had you experienced in life? Among the stories I read about you, you are a creature with no morality. Now I ask myself again, was the story really true?

"Stop staring." Lisa was pulled out from her thought upon hearing his voice. She looked at him and realize that she had been staring so she clear her throat as she decided to start a conversation. "Big Alpha, can I ask you a question?"

Jungkook didn't answer her as he keep on walking so she take it as a yes. "When you talk just now, it seems like you hate the term 'territories', why?" Lisa almost fell when Jungkook suddenly halt his step as soon as she said that.

Lisa look at him, trying to search for any reaction but all she gets was nothing until he say "This land on Ustea is for every mortal. They can use it, enjoy it and help themselves as they please but they can't own it. A territory shouldn't exist because this land was owned by no one and will never be owned by anyone."

The way he said it, it was so cold but something so negative could be felt in his tone. It sends a shiver down her spine, he glances at her over his shoulder and says "I'm not destroying anything but I'm trying so hard to save it because of a greedy mortal."

When he said that he look back forward and continue walking once again. Lisa stood there for a moment as she look down and thought to herself. I don't know what is his story but it seemed like he had seen the worse in mortals.

Lisa purse her lips as she closes her eyes. She takes a deep breath before opening it once again and running after Jungkook while saying to herself. "Don't worry Big Alpha, I'll show you that humanity is still there between us because..."

"In every bad, there's always good."
