NOTE: There's a sort-of Rated R in this chapter though it's not really depicted visually so I didn't rate it as M.

LIES

Coming from one of the strongest vampire heritage, it was already engrave in Kibum’s mind since he was a child that someday he will find his mate. Someone who will love him and only him. That is why when the son of his father’s Alpha friend, a werewolf pack his family had been friends since the beginning of time, held an acquaintance party of some sort to which he and his brother, who recently came back from America, were invited, he never thought that he would meet him there.

His dread of being together with his y and selfish brother was washed away and instead, he felt that strange sensation of being pulled when certain pair of chocolate orbs met his, his feline eyes focusing on the next-in-line Beta of their land’s strongest pack, Kim Jonghyun.

He thought that it was the start of a love-filled relationship and he was right, it was just a thought.

‘Cause Jonghyun didn’t recognize the pull just yet. And Kibum wonders if was that damned emotions he felt when their eyes met were just a figment of his dedicated imagination of finding the one the Goddess has chosen for him.

He felt the way his breath hitch when they talk, the longing he felt when they’re far away, and the unsteady rhythm of his heart that goes an overdrive whenever he’s close with Jonghyun, only to Jonghyun. Isn’t that all those silly signs his parents always ramble on about?

Then why does Jonghyun doesn’t recognize it?

Kibum already confronted Jonghyun about it and the latter avoids his eyes while confirming that yes, his wolf feels something for Kibum but he can’t accept it just yet. Kibum wanted to strangle him. Why the heck not? Why can’t he accept the fact that Kibum is his mate?

It has been eight months since the party, five month since he confronted Jonghyun about their relationship, or whatever the hell they are. In those eight months, he learned that Jonghyun studied in America and just came back ten months ago. It was not even a strange thing anymore that Kibum spends most of his time in Jonghyun’s pack. Jinki, the next-in-line Alpha, was the only person who knew about him and Jonghyun being mates since Jonghyun doesn’t want it to be publicize just yet,
