Deception

Chapter 22

"My own wolf isn't listening to me." You were in disbelief as you paced around your ward with your arms crossed. Your mate and best friends were with you.

You couldn't believe that your wolf went rabid on your mate. Who would have thought that a rabid wolf could not recognize her own mate?

"The first time you called her forward, you managed to control her right? With no aggression?" Laura asked and you nodded with no hesitation.

"She was docile. I called her forward a few times after that, and she was calm," you said with your brows furrowed, feeling agitated.

It had just been a few hours since you pounced on your mate, and you woke up alone. You attempted to call on your wolf a few more times but nothing happened, there were no signs of aggression and it was as if you didn't attempt to scar your mate's face hours ago. You sat on your bed and crossed your legs, still thinking.

"Maybe the lost connection drove caused your wolf to be unstable?" Jimin suggested and you nodded.

It was already an expected outcome, but everyone was clinging on to the hope that you wouldn't lose control over her.

"Likely. So I'm basically a pack hazard, the more reason I shouldn't be Luna," you turned to Jungkook and his jaw slightly dropped.

The tension in the room was starting to get suffocating. Jimin was staring at me in shock, Taehyung was looking between you and Jungkook, his face morphed into one of discomfort, and Laura pursed her lips to stop a snort. She just finds the strangest things amusing. You gave a nonchalant shrug when you saw Jungkook's look of disbelief, you drank the glass of water that you poured for yourself to quench your thirst.

"Okay, now is not the time to be talking about that. That can wait, but we can't let an unstable wolf loose," Laura said.

"So... are you guys going to keep me locked up until I get my shit together? I can't work, can't mingle with anyone, basically, I can't be around people without the risk of going batshit crazy," you asked, meaning for it to be a joke but it clearly failed.

Your words seemed to have baffled everyone in the room except Laura, who was shaking her head in amusement. She gets you.

"You make it sound like locking you up was nothing," Jungkook said, his face gave nothing away but you knew that he was confused by your words.

Okay, maybe the joke may not be a joke after all.

"Are you going to lock me up?" You asked with your eyebrows raised.

"Are you able to control your wolf? " He refuted and your stomach drop.

Oh my goddess.

The anger was clearly a trigger to your wolf's violence. Your claws were extended and you glared at your mate with loathe, your own anger was mixed with your wolf's and it was difficult to determine if your anger was elevated by your wolf's ferocity, or it was just you that was angry at the fact that your mate was trying to keep you locked up, again. Likely the latter.

The sight of your anger immediately made the others tense in the ward, including Laura, who put her guards up.

"No, fine. Lock me up then. I'll willingly get my hands and legs cuffed up right now," you snapped and Jungkook gave one of his own glares.

"Don't test me Jung Jaein," he growled.

You scoffed in response, "it's going to happen sooner or later. Why not the former so that I can get used to it sooner too."

"You're unbelievable," he shook his head and left the ward, with a slam.

Jimin sighed and massaged his temples.
