"Lisa!" That was Jungkook's voice. No, that was his Alpha's voice. She turned her head and saw him walking towards her. His scent is getting stronger, almost suffocating her. His suit is stained with blood but the wound is not visible anymo...

Jungkook opened the door and looked at his moon brothers sitting around that long table in complete silence. He arrived in the Shadow Crawler territory but it doesn’t seem like a trial is going to take place. They are instead seated in a conference room and Taehyung nodded to him, insisting him to sit next to him. He nodded back, still clueless about what is going on.
He looked at his older moon brother Jimin and noticed that mark on his neck, giving him the idea that he already claimed his mate, Rosé. He can also sense the mixed scents of his moon brother and Rosé’s flowery signature scent. When he finally sat next to Taehyung, he gave him a small smile and tapped his shoulder.
“We have been waiting.” Taehyung said softly, making him frown his forehead.
“Is a verdict has been made?” He asked but Taehyung shakes his head as a no.
“No.” Taehyung answered briefly and shifted his eyes to Yoongi. Jungkook looked at the older werewolf too and he is keeping his silence as he remains his straight face.
“Hyung, can you tell me what is going on? Isn’t—isn’t we should be resuming the trial tonight?” Jungkook asked, looking at his older moon brothers. But none of them answered and so—instinctively, he looked at Namjoon, who just sighed. He then shifted to Seokjin but he looked away, looking at Yoongi instead.
“We cancelled the trial.” Yoongi finally said. “You cannot leave your packs kingless. Or else—you’ll end up losing them.”
“W-was this because of Dark?” Jungkook cannot help to ask. All of them shifted their eyes to look at the youngest. “Was it because I was like my uncle that’s why you aren’t giving me my punishment?”
“Jungkook—”
“No, hyung. You shouldn’t give me any exemptions. I know when we saved Jennie, it was a reckless decision. I was just too scared to lose Lisa.” Jungkook interrupted. “But I also know it’s not right. The deaths of those young protectors are my fault too. It’s like I left my home defenseless. And abandoning your pack has serious consequences. I am ready for it, hyung. I am ready.” He continued and even pressed his palms over the table. “I know I broke the code. And so I deserve a punishment. Give it to me.”
“Your right hand Yeonjun told me why you had to approve the early enlisting of those young pups in your territory, Jungkook.” Yoongi said, lifting that folder from the table. “Another Omega unit of that organization attacked your territory on the night of Lisa’s heat. You are occupied to help your mate that is why you weren’t there when a massive massacre of your Protectors happened.”
Jungkook parted his lips but remained quiet.
“It’s precautionary. It is written in our code that werewolves has to be in a certain age to enlist but you are constantly losing a huge number of Protectors at your gates and sending young pups of every household is a desperate measure.” Namjoon said this time, Jungkook shifting his eyes to him. “This was done at the reign of your father too. And you are one of the young pups who are early trained back in the day.”
