NO ONE P.O.V

"Avoid getting your wound close to the water, change your bandage often, and have proper rest," Jimin said as he checked on Jungkook one last time. Jungkook just looked away and kept silent as Jimin pursed his lips and sighed "Have some rest, my lord." He said before leaving.

Hearing the door being closed Jungkook slowly glances at his bandage. A sigh left his lips "What a disaster." He whispers. Today had been hectic. Hectic. After what happened, Jungkook had been taken back to the palace and the werewolves took care of everything.

He is not interested to know anything so he just lies down on the bed. If it was him, he wouldn't even want to stay here at all but many things had going on. He just wants a proper sleep. Not wanting to think about it anymore, he fluttered his eyes closed and went into slumber.

"Is everything alright?" Lisa is the first one to ask when Jimin reaches the meeting room. The male nods "He's fine and resting." He said as Lisa let out a sigh of relief before nodding. She pinched the bridge of her nose "The rogue?" She asked "They all had been brought to the court for investigation." Taehyung informed.

"Their motive?" She asked as Taehyung looked at Jennie once before back at the Alpha Queen. "Just as you expected Alpha, They come for the male luna, to challenge your position." He said as Lisa clenched her fist upon hearing that. She takes a deep breath "How about the media?" She asked

"Don't worry Luna, we had control of it. The issue will fade away soon." Seokjin informs her as she keeps silent. Soon, Rose broke the silence "Lisa, the elders had been demanding." She said, "About what?" Lisa asked in annoyance.

"About securing the male Luna."

Rose answered her as everyone could feel how intense it was in the meeting room. "You see it yourself, he doesn't want it. How can we do that?" Jisoo spoke up not liking this topic. To her, this is the cause why their friendship with Jungkook breaks.

"I know but what else can we do? The people demand an answer and the elders are pressuring us. Shouldn't we do something?" Rose argues with the older "Do what? Force him?" Jisoo grits her teeth as Seokjin holds her hand, trying to stop the fight.

The room went silent once again as all of them didn't know the answer to it. When Lisa suddenly speaks something unexpected "he can't disobey it right?" She asked "Huh?" Rose asks "The fate?" Lisa asked again making everyone look at her.

"Are you saying that you want to force him?" Jisoo asks angrily but another voice suddenly interrupts "You want to force my brother?" All of them turn to the voice and there stands Jung-hwa. Lisa stood up instantly "But you said you wouldn't hurt him." She whispered but it was enough for them to hear it.

Lisa snapped out of her thoughts and shook her head "No- no dear I'm not going to hurt him. Never." She said as she approached Junghwa who looked down. Lisa held her hand "That's not what I mean, I-I don't know what's going on in my head. I'm sorry-"

"Please leave us."

Junghwa suddenly says as everyone looks at each other. Lisa let out a breath before she slowly glanced at them and nodded her head. Seeing the sign everyone stood up and left. Now there are only two of them. Lisa looks at Junghwa but the girl slowly pulls away her hand.

She walks past Lisa as the Alpha turns to her. Junghwa back faced her as she hugged herself. Lisa gulped, somehow feeling nervous and Junghwa suddenly spoke up.

"Let go of my brother."

Lisa's breath hitched.

"Or court him properly."

She said before turning to the Alpha Queen "I risked everything to make him meet you. He hates me and now he got hurt and it's even a day." She looks at her in the eyes, there are tears in her eyes "You said you would protect him and love him-"

"I do love him-"

"Then prove it!" Junghwa screamed as tears slowly started sliding down her cheeks. "Prove it to him! Don't just say it! If he going to live with you forever at least make it worthy for him to stay!" She said as she cried harder. Lisa stood there in silence.

Junghwa looks down and cries again as she wipes her tears. Lisa slowly approached her and the Alpha pulled her into her embrace. Junghwa cried on her shoulder as Lisa slowly caressed her hair and whispered.

"I'm sorry Junghwa"

Lisa stood on the balcony of her room as the cold night breeze hit her face making her hair fly. She slowly opened her eyes.

What should we do Akira?

Silence.

Lisa sigh. Her wolf had been silent since the incident. She was still there, and Lisa could feel her, she just chose to not talk to her.

You're still sad huh?

Lisa asked as she chuckled soon after. She knows why, of course. Today, Jungkook holds her fur once again and he caress it but midway through his action, he stops. He pulls away and looks away from her as if he doesn't even want to see her face. And it hurts.

Akira felt like it was a rejection.

After that, she didn't even talk anymore but for Lisa, she saw something else. When he caressed her fur, she saw the glow in his eyes that she had never seen before but it seemed like he pushed that light away.

As if he can't accept it.

The next morning, Lisa stood in front of the room where her mate was. The maids told her that he didn't want to eat and had been demanding to leave, so she came here herself. Knocking on the door, she could smell him in the room, yet there was no answer.

She slowly turns the knob and opens it before peeking inside "Jungkook?" She called out and entered the room only to see her mate sitting on the bed, back facing her "Have you eaten? You should eat you know? You'll need energy to heal-"

"I want to go home."

The male said without looking at her. Lisa let out a breath.

"Okay."

Jungkook seemed surprised by the answer as he slowly turned and looked at her. "But there's a deal." She said making Jungkook pursed his lips but he still looked at her, telling her to continue. Lisa approached him and sat by his side making him look away from her when they were so close.

"I can visit you every day. Okay?"

There is silence soon after. Jungkook didn't seem like he was fond of the idea but what choice that he have? "Fine." Lisa smiled as he turned to her. "5 minutes and you're not even allowed to speak. Deal?" Lisa hesitated upon hearing that.

He mentally smirked, wanting her to just give up but to his surprise she smiled and nodded.

"Deal."
