Damn I’m hungry. I’m not really up for having breakfast with father. Whatever I’ll just go to the kitchen hopefully those maids don’t get angry.

Last night was horrible. I spent most of the night tossing and turning, between trying to stop my brain from thinking, getting worried about today’s training, and trying to ignore the constant ache in my chest, I got absolutely no sleep.

It was probably six right now, and I just honestly wanted to eat and get this training over with. Finally finding the kitchen -I never used it when I was younger- I saw the maids running around trying to get breakfast ready, I assume.

Nobody was paying attention to me, so I went for the bacon and eggs. There was one maid who caught sight of me, she eyed me then gave me a plate and smiled warmly. I took that as a good sign and filled my plate. I caught a familiar scent, and soon the familiar scent came walking in. My mother appeared to be in similar shape.

“Couldn’t sleep?” she jumped, not having noticed me.

“Jungkook? What are you doing here?” she rushed over.

“I got hungry” I shrugged. She looked down seemingly contemplating something.

“Jungkook.” She called, I hummed in response still trying to stuff the bacon in my mouth -these women really knew how to make bacon- “I’m sorry about yesterday. I really didn’t think he would bring it up like that”

“Umma I’m not mad. It’s father we’re talking about.” Her shoulders visibly relaxed. My mother was always gentle and calming, only becoming stern when she had to. We always had a very close relationship, so I understand her worry.

“Jungkook he’s your father” she warned, “Even if he is a little overbearing he still loves you.” Why does everyone keep saying that? I don’t really feel loved at all.

“I got it umma. You should eat, you look hungry.” I gestured over to the tray of American styled breakfast. She smiled and stood up only to have one of the maids get up and serve her. Mother tried to stop her but the women wasn’t having it.

“It’s going to take a long time to get use to the maids huh?” she smiled at the lady when she hander her the plate. “No kidding”

Even for a pack having maids was weird but I guess being one of the most powerful packs grants us with the privilege. My father is especially happy with the arrangement, not going two steps without his assistant.

It was nearing seven when I checked my phone, I was to start training soon. I lost track talking with my mom who seemed to be just as out of sorts as I was. Getting use to this place again proved to be a challenge. “Sorry umma I have to go; training time.” She waved me off and I rushed back upstairs.

I walked toward the stairs but was stopped by the giant man walking down. “Where are you going?”

“Good morning father.” I bowed my head, “I’m getting ready for training with Daehyun hyung” he seemed to like the answer and kept walking. “Good luck.” I spun around so fast, but he was already gone. Did he really just wish me luck? Was I going to die?

I pushed those thought away and hurried upstairs. I needed to find Daehyun but I didn’t know what room was his. I knew it was near mine but I couldn’t tell exactly where. Daehyun had the annoying ability to hide his scent, and he was really good at it. He was able to make his scent completely disappear if he tried hard enough but that often weakened him.

I was surprised -and slightly annoyed- to find him not to far away from my room. Thanks to the passing maid who told me. I walked up to his door contemplating whether or not I should open it when I smelled someone who was not Daehyun. The scent was seemed distorted so I couldn’t pinpoint who it was.

Deciding to take my chances I wrapped my hand around the door knob and turned It. My brain informed me too late that the other person might be a woman. I didn’t have time to turn back so I was peeking out from one eye hoping I wouldn’t see something I would regret. It turns out there was someone there but it was not a woman. No it was someone much more unexpected, Youngjae.

There in the bed was Daehyun sleeping soundly, with a sleeping Youngjae wrapped around him. I felt like I was intruding on a very intimate moment. This was such a weird sight to see, it’s always been Daehyun and Yongguk. Was Daehyun moving on? No that was crazy, and impossible. A wolf could never move on from a mate. Having a mate meant bonding with someone on a spiritual level, two souls connecting into one. The two souls never separate not even after death, so it was impossible to find another.

Before I had time consider further I heard shuffling, I quickly turned but my name was called before I could get to the door. “Jungkook?” I turned to Daehyun sitting up and rubbing at his eyes. The sight was cute. When he looked over at me bed head and all, I couldn’t help but give him a look. He tilted his head, and I let my gaze drop. He followed it to the boy still attached to him. He cheeks immediately turned pink.

“N-no t-this is not what it looks like!” his hands were waving frantically. “Hyung calm down, it’s none of my business anyway.” I gave him a smirk and proceeded out the door.

“Wait! You brat!” I chuckled at the weird sounds I heard coming from the room; loud thud and something akin to shattering glass. He probably fell trying to get up.

I decided to wait outside the cool breeze was refreshing. I saw then couple from yesterday walking out of the village center and quickly called out to them. They turned, their eyes going wide upon seeing me, they bowed deeply. It was different from the usual head bow and stunned me.

“No please stand straight, I want to apologize for yesterday, I went overboard.” They looked speechless.

“N-no! We are the ones that should apologize for our behavior. We stepped out of line, we were the ones in the wrong.” They bowed once again. I grabbed their hands, thanked them and bid them goodbye.

When they were out of sight is when Daehyun finally stepped outside followed by a very ashamed looking Youngjae. “So what does my father have planned for me?” I ask once they’re close enough.

“He wants to work on your strength.” Daehyun informs.

“Well duh. But that’s pretty useless considering in human form I can take anyone down.”

“Don’t be so sure Jungkook.”

“Hyung, while everyone here has trained and perfected their wolves, they lack the same strength and agility as a human. They couldn’t take me in a fight, their bodies are not use to that kind of labor.” Youngjae nodded his head in agreement, much to Daehyun’s dismay.

“Okay even if that may be true, your father has no proof. He still thinks…” he cut himself off.

“He still thinks I’m a weakling?” I offer. Daehyun gives me a sad look. If my father wanted proof, I could always show him the tree. No that’s dangerous, this power of mine has to be kept hidden, at least until I figure it out myself.

“Well I could always fight someone right in front of him.” I suggest.

“Funny you should say that. He wants to have weekly checkups.”

“To check my progress?” of course he wants me to stop being a disappointment, “Exactly!”

“I hope he remembers that stronger or not I’m still an omega and that’s something he cannot change.” Daehyun and Youngjae both gave me pity-filled looks.

“Well what are we doing today?” I tried to steer the conversation elsewhere.

“Uhh well… we’re going to start with the basics, running.” Daehyun gave Youngjae a quick glance. Youngjae waved goodbye and headed toward the forest.

“Okay so around the village?” I asked.

“Yep fifty times.” He confirmed.

“Well then, let’s get started. You coming?” Daehyun nodded and we both started to jog the perimeter of the village, while small for a village, was still big enough to fit several small packs. Training like this again was nice. It made it easier to get my mind off of things. It felt weird though, I use to train like this with Yongguk, and now here I am with his mate.

It was about three hours later that we finished. Daehyun was on the floor, he was breathing and sweating so profusely I thought he might pass out. I on the other hand felt perfectly fine, sure I was tired but I felt nowhere near how he should be feeling.

“Jeez… you weren’t kidding… you really did train…” Daehyun said in between deep breaths. He must have thought something was up, hell I was shocked myself. I’m not blind, I know this was not normal, no matter how much I trained.

“Yea I guess.” I answered back. When we first started it was easy to keep the same pace. Halfway through is when Daehyun started to lag. Which was expected even, he was in his human form and while he was trained it was still hard. He was lagging behind bad, so I had to hold myself back. That’s what scared me the most; what would happen if I went all out. Frankly I didn’t want to know.

“I think that’s enough for today.” He was breathing easier now. “Yea let’s get cleaned up and visit the others. I didn’t get to talk to Junhong and Jongup yesterday”

Going through the village was annoying, there were still whispers here and there but nothing like yesterday. We cleaned up and headed for the pack house. We ran into a problem once we got downstairs. My father seemed to be waiting near the entrance.

“How did the training go?” he asked, his eyes scanned me.

 
It went really well. You should have seen- ow!” Daehyun yelped after I pinched his arm. He glaring at me. I gave him a quick look, that I’m sure my father picked up on. Daehyun looked confused then he turned back to the alpha.

“Jungkook has gotten better.” He finished. I had to stop myself from sighing in relief.

“I see. I can’t wait to see your progress.” I couldn’t tell what he was thinking at all, but he did seem suspicious.

“Yes I will work hard. See you later father.” We quickly bowed and darted toward the door. “Wait.” We froze.

“Where are you going?”

“To my pack house.” Daehyun answered. “I see.”

I released a breath I didn’t realize I was holding. My father always made me feel on edge, the main reason I could never get close, and the fact I was his disappointment.

“So what was that about?” Daehyun broke me from my thoughts. “Hmm?”

He gave me an unimpressed look. “Nothing hyung.”

“Jungkook.” He warned. I stopped walking, grabbed his hand and made him face me. “Look hyung, there are things I’m trying to figure out, and when I do you’ll be the first one I tell.” Like this I knew he would understand.

He sighed and nodded his head. The walk was quiet, both us of seemingly having a lot on our minds. In all honestly I wasn’t to tell him everything, about the twin, my eyes, the sudden strength, but how as I suppose to explain to him when I didn’t even understand it myself.

Spending time with Junhong and Jongup hyung proved to take my mind off of things. Although they were older by a few years, we got along well. I used to watch them dance when I was younger and begged them to teach me. I haven’t actually dance since I moved to Seoul, there just not being a time to, but I actually found myself missing it. Singing with Daehyun was also another thing I missed. His voice was absolutely incredible -one of the reasons Yongguk hyung fell for him- we often sang together at pack feast as entertainment. It was the best because I could actually see a little bit of joy in my father at these times.

I hadn’t meant to stay there for as long as I did but just letting go and having fun was something I hadn’t done in so long. It really felt like old times, I wish it could be like this all the time. Sadly, I was reminded that it was indeed inappropriate to not go home when I was the son of the leader.  

“It’s late, I should get back.” there were pleas to stay thrown at me. “Sorry. Are coming Daehyun hyung?” he was about to get up when Youngjae pulled him down. The action shocking even him.

“I have to at least walk him back?” it was less a statement and more a question. “No don’t worry about it. I’m a big boy and beside the village is right there like I can see it from here.” I waved goodbye and walked out the door before he could protest.

I really wanted to enjoy the night before going back’ I needed this time to just have to myself. It was true the village was only a five-minute walk from the tiny house in the woods, but I didn’t want to go back to so soon. Instead I walked deeper into the woods. I let my feet take me where they pleased and before I knew it I was at the waterfall. This was the place Yongguk went often, whenever he was stressed with pack related things. I always followed him here trying to hide behind the rocks, but he always knew I was there. I must have been annoying, but he never seemed bothered, rather calling me over to sit with him.

We spent hours here together, no talking just existing -as Yongguk called it- it was these times that I really got to bond with him. The place looked exactly the same, I can’t believe I forgot this existed. I sat at the edge of a rock overlooking the small lake. I’m starting to understand why hyung liked this place so much. I started to feel a strange yet familiar feeling. Like someone was watching me, and sure enough across the lake was a wolf. I panicked a little, I didn’t recognize the scent, in fact I couldn’t really smell anything. It took a while before my feet finally started to move.

I didn’t get very far when the wolf appeared in front of me. I skidded to a stop before I got to close, and fell on my . It struck me- I’ve seen this wolf before, back at Got7’s house. The silver eyes were a dead giveaway, but that was not the only odd thing about this wolf. The wolf toward above me, it’s fur was pure white, almost iridescent. It was the most beautiful wolf I’ve ever seen.

I couldn’t move, the wolf just stood there. Then it let out a low growl and moved closer. I finally found my voice. “W-who are y-you?” I stuttered out, trying to keep the distance between us.

It stopped, and I heard something inside my head, “You.” it answered. The voice was deep but gentle, like the ocean.

“W-what?” the wolf started coming closer again. I didn’t have anywhere else to go; I was at the edge of a rock. “What do you want?!” I shouted, hoping to get someone attention, but I was pretty far from the village.

“You.” The snow white wolf answered again. What the hell was up with this, this wolf was definitely different. It didn’t really have a scent, but it’s presence was overwhelming. White wolves were rare, and now they were basically extinct. Where did this wolf even come from?

The wolf was now hovering directly above me. it pressed its nose against my neck, and I was sure it was going to rip it out. I squeezed my eyes shut waiting for the pain, but instead heard a low whimper, almost a moan. I opened my eyes carefully, the wolf was now laying besides me it’s nose still nestled in my neck.

I didn’t know what to do, if I moved it might get mad and kill, and if I screamed it again, might kill me. I was stuck, I breathed slowly. “Please let me go.” My eyes got clouded by tears. I was scared.

No, I was terrified.

I could sense the power rolling off the wolf in waves, it was suffocating. The wolf lifted its head from my neck and at the tears that fell. The action calming me down immediately. Feeling a little safer I slowly sat up, the wolf watching my every move. I didn’t move much more than that not wanting to push my luck.

“What do you want.” I kept my voice low, I didn’t want to anger it. “You.” It answered again.

“Why?” at that the wolf nuzzled back into my neck, I stiffened but try to remain calm. Something told me that this wolf didn’t want to hurt me. Now that I was calm I could tell this was definitely the same wolf from before; it had the same feeling. Before I could finish my thought I felt a pain in my neck.

I felt teeth sink into my neck, I tried to push the white wolf away but everything suddenly went black. I was no longer in the woods with the white wolf. I actually didn’t know where I was. As I looked around the blackness slowly melted into a scenery. It took a while for me to make out a lake.

The lake seemed to be the only thing here, I looked down and I was just sitting on the water as if it was solid. I tried to reach for the water but I couldn’t feel anything. There was the reflection of the moon on the water’s surface, I looked for the source. I was astonished. The moon shone so bright in the sky, and it was huge. It wasn’t like anything I have ever seen; it was strangely calming.

Odd enough, I felt like I had been here before… or I should be here. I didn’t really feel anything but serenity and acceptance. The previous confusion seemingly gone.

As I was staring at the moon, I could see small, what seemed to be tiny bits of light falling off. Almost like the moon was raining. The piece of light came floating down and gathered at the center of the lake. I sat there for a while starting at the center when the light started to dance along the water.

Everything became all fuzzy and I couldn’t see what was happening. When my vision finally stabilized, the snow white wolf sat in place if the moon pieces. “Where am I?” the wolf shook its head.

“Can you tell me what that was?” again the wolf shook its head. I was now annoyed, it obviously brought me here and wanted me to see this. So why was it not telling me anything?

The wolf stood up walked toward me. The way it moved and seamlessly glided across the water, was as beautiful as it was graceful. “I can’t tell you now but you will understand everything in time.” The wolf spoke.

There was nothing I could say. I glanced at the muddying water that soon became black again. When everything was clear again I was in my bed. I shot up, this was definitely my room. Was it a dream? No I still had my clothes on. My head was starting to throb, and I was starting to feel the tired ache of my body. I took a quick look at the clock, my eyes shot open. It was three in the morning!

I know I left Daehyun’s at eleven so there was no way I was gone for four hours! I flopped back on my bed the throb intensifying. I closed my eyes, not even bothering to shower, it can wait until morning. I can deal with whatever the hell that was later, right now my body is begging for rest.

Sitting at the giant table, with my fidgeting mother and ever stoic father, was not how I wanted to spend my morning.  Even if my father showed no emotions, the wary looks my mother was exchanging with me was enough to understand that I somehow made my father angry.

“So where were you last night?” he finally spoke. I tried to not break out in a nervous sweat right there. Lying didn’t fly with the alpha, but I’d be damned if I told him the truth; when not even I knew what happened.

“With Daehyun hyung and the others” I said in between bites of food, that I shoved into my mouth to hopefully hide the anxiety in my voice.

“Well you missed dinner.” Dinner?

“Oh… um I’m sorry?” I didn’t mean for it to come out like a question, but I specifically remember skipping dinner plenty of times in favor of being with Yongguk.

“Listen Jungkook I’m not sure how you did things back in Seoul but here you are required to be here for dinner.” Even he looked confused at his words. Now it was like he was trying to find an excuse to be mad.

“I’m sorry father, I… wasn’t aware. It won’t happen again.” he nodded and continued eating in silence. My mother trying to salvage the situation but just ended up talking to herself.

“I’m going to excuse myself now, I have training soon.” I gave my mother a kiss and bowed to my father and hurried outside. I have to get use to this no matter what.

My stomach was twisting in uncomfortable ways. It was nerve-wracking waiting for my father to show up. The whole town seemed to have caught wind of the check up and wanted to get a glimpse. It was annoying but what could I do? The week went by rather quickly. The training changed drastically from the first day. Now I was training from early in the morning until around dinner time. It was easy but exhausting, it was the same routine and it was getting tiring. Wake up, eat breakfast, train, and eat dinner with father.

The only good thing about it was being able to really assess my strength and keep me busy. I had a lot on my mind lately, like home, and Jinyoung, and the wolf. The longer time passed the more it felt like merely a dream, I’m starting to believe it was. None of that was important right now though, because today was Friday and the day father would evaluate me, and I needed to keep my strength in check. Which proved to be hard throughout the week, where I found myself almost trashing the entire training building.

I was casted out of my thoughts when I heard everything become silent and the pack people were bowing so low their backs seemed to break. I turned already bowing my head. My father wore his usual expression and raised his hand signaling for everyone to rise. It was almost amusing how much people treated him like royalty.

The pack leader made his way to a small cushion set on the floor by his beta. He gestured toward Daehyun and then at the cushion set besides him. My mother must have skipped out; she doesn’t like the attention. I waited there for some sort of instruction, but nothing came. Instead he sat there and stared at me, almost analyzing. I felt uncomfortable under the gaze but stood my ground.

Suddenly I felt something behind me, my body screaming danger. I turned just in time to dodge an incoming attack. Reeling back from the shock, I got a look at the attacker, and to my surprise it was a pack member. I wanted to question him, but he was going in for another attack.

“W-what are you doing?!” I continued dodging his attacks. His name is Insoo if I remember correctly, a brute and very dangerous on the battlefield. It finally clicked, this was the test. The lack of help should have been a telltale sign. My father obviously wanted to see if I could fight.

I wanted to end this quickly and maybe show him that I was much stronger now, but I wanted to still be believable. I relaxed a little and focused on the enemy. If I was going to do this it was going to be without hitting them, I don’t have much faith that I could hold back all my strength.

I closed my eyes for a second just to block out the others. I focused on Hoya’s breathing, his movement, his heartbeat. He was going to come at me with a right hook and then go for a back kick. Just as I predicted he executed them flawlessly. But I was quicker and blocked all his attacks. It went on like this for five minutes, I could tell he was getting exhausted, which is exactly how I wanted him.

In his sluggish state I was able to easily dodge his charge and lightly tap the back of his knee with my foot sending him to the floor, effectively ending this fight. Or I thought, because another six or so guys stepped in ready to fight. To go from one to six opponents seemed a little harsh but I guess it was my father after all.

I did well to cut down on the dodging and blocking and focus more on taking them down. It was actually easier with more people. I found it hilarious that I could get them to knock into each other with some quick maneuvering. The last two seemed to have realized what I was doing, with their buddies all piled on top of each other. They were more cautious when approaching me and staying out of each other’s way. So I took things into my own hands started to throw them at each other, it was super effective.

My breathing was a little ragged; this was so much better than running around in circles. I looked up at my father waiting for maybe more opponents, but he stared. After a while he stood and left. I have no idea what he was thinking but it couldn’t be that bad if he stayed and watched the whole thing.

“So I’m done right?” I asked Daehyun who sat there frozen.

“Uhh- yea your good, go rest you deserve it.” He finally moved to get up. “I’m going to go talk with your father.” I assume it’s about me, but I could care less cause I’m sweaty and I need a shower. I nod and watch him leave. I turn toward the group of men I just fought who are downing their water bottles.

“Hey guys, that was a good fight. Thank you.” I quickly bowed, but I small snigger caught me off guard. It was the guy Insoo. Looking closer he was pretty good-looking, and well built. He threw his arm around me.

“Don’t thank us, but I want a rematch, and don’t go easy on me.” his smile was infectious. He seemed like a good person.

“Definitely. I’ll be stopping by the training building more often.” We chatted a little longer and me his friends. I think they’re new to the pack which is rare because father doesn’t like mixing blood. As he so graciously puts it. To have let outsiders in must mean they were pack-less and good fighters. I can’t imagine the restrictions and warnings he gave them though.

“I told you, he’s stronger than you think.” He didn’t respond, but he was definitely thinking.

“He was holding back; he didn’t make a single attack” I don’t think he was exactly talking to me rather confirming something with himself.

“Yea I saw that too, maybe he just doesn’t want to hurt his pack mates?” I offer.

“That’s what makes him weak. I want to change his training routine a little bit.”

“What?”

Finally, I have some time to myself. I’ve been dying to call back home; the pain in my chest is getting worse. The bath felt good and took a lot of the stiffness in my muscles away, and now I was just dying to lie down.

Once I was comfortable I quickly grabbed my phone dialed the number I have remembered by heart. My heart was beating so fast in anticipation.

“Jungkook! Do you know how long I have waiting for you to call!” the pain in my chest immediately disappeared.

“Hyung.” my voice cracked. “Ahh Jungkook.” His voice was so calm, a stark contrast to a second ago.

“Don’t cry.”

“I’m not!” somehow this man brought out all of my emotions with just his voice. “Okay. How are you doing?”

“I’m fine.”

“Really? Because I’ve felt nothing but waves of stress and loneliness.” He was not going to let me get out of this one.

“Jinyoung hyung~ I tried to block it but it’s hard here.”

“I don’t want you to block it, Jungkook talk to me.” I give up. I let everything out, it felt so much better there were no tears of sadness, I just told him my feeling and what I felt. It felt good to just talk and hear his voice. He told me stories of his pack and Woohyun. Somehow they became close, which kind of made me jealous. I wanted to ask about Bts but it didn’t feel right, I should just call them myself. it wasn’t the right time though; I couldn’t say exactly why I just wasn’t ready to talk to them.

I was reluctant to get off the phone but it was almost dinner time and Jinyoung sounded like he was falling asleep. “Okay hyung I have to go and you should rest.”

“No~ I don’t want to. I know I’m now going to hear from you in another week.”

“Hyung your tired I can hear it, and I’ll call you tomorrow I promise; I have nothing to do tomorrow.”

There was a short silence before a resounding sigh was heard. “I miss you.” It was barely above a whisper. It broke my heart how pained he sounded.

“Hyung I promise we’re going to see each other soon.” I finally hung up and just lied down on my bed.

It was only a week and he was already this bad. I tried to ignore the sudden chest pains I got when I was talking with him. I knew it was him, the bond wanted us back together. Talking to him made the chest ache better for me but it seems like it made it worse for him.

I can’t wait three months like I originally thought. But what other choice do I have? I’m lucky my father is even going to allow me to visit. The deal was in three months and with improvement in my training, Daehyun would drive me back.

There was only one way around it but it scared me. It was the only way though; I could get there earlier and my please my father. It was the only way; not only for my friends but for myself. No matter what it takes, I’ll train harder every day, all day if I have to.

I’m going to shift again.
