~Y/N POV~
I sat in silence obviously in the living room on the single sofa, watching everyone of our friends pile into the living room one by one. Each one of them curiously looking over to Jungkook standing in the middle of the room waiting for everyone to take a seat.
Jisoo sat on the couch beside mine, leaning over the arm of her seat to grab my hand and rub her thumb over my knuckles. I sent her a small smile that didn't meet my eyes and she sent another small smile of her own back.
Namjoon sat on her other side while Jin came to Namjoon's opposite side, crossing his legs over the other.
Jimin, Hoseok and Yoongi all took up seats on the other spare couch and Jungkook just nodded to himself when he realised everyone was now here and seated. I know why he wanted everyone here, he told me in advance. Jungkook has been telling me a lot lately about what he's doing.
"Okay well I wanted to tell you all something myself." Jungkook
The nerves in his voice was obvious and it was a little unsettling to see him constantly fidget with his sleeves and shift from one foot to the other. All the while avoiding everyone else's curious gaze.
"What is it Kook?" Yoongi
"I know what it is." Jimin
I looked over to him surprised but Jimin just shrugged when everyone looked at him, even Jungkook was surprised but sighed.
"You do? What is it?" Jin
"Let him tell you." Jimin
He pointed to Jungkook and gestures for him to continue. Jungkook nods at him and licks his lips nervously. All he has to do is just spit it out, rip it like a band aid but his nerves were eating him up.
"What is it?" Jisoo
"Okay fine. Y/n is my mate." Jungkook
He quickly spoke and backed away, taking a big step back as if expecting some kind of slap to the face or something but obviously that's not what he got, instead he just got silence as everyone now stares at him in shock. Well all but Jimin.
Jisoo dropped my hand and judging by the look on her face, she was angry.
"What the hell do you mean Y/n is your mate? She's Taehyung's mate!! Not yours!! TAEHYUNGS!! MY BROTHERS!!" Jisoo
Standing up she screamed at Jungkook in all her fury while I just watched but stood up to take her hand when I felt this pit form in my stomach and it didn't feel good. Taking my hand in hers as she glared at Jungkook a low growl started to erupt from Jungkook's throat which only got louder by the second when Jisoo remained unfazed and continued to glare at him.
Jungkook's eyes changed to a crimson red and his breathing became uneven. Jimin and Hoseok stood up to approach him but didn't get very far when Jungkook snarled loudly through out the room, baring his sharp teeth and taking a dangerously close step towards Jisoo and I but Jungkook kept his eyes directly on Jisoo not even sparing me a glance.
"WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE TALKING TO?! BACK DOWN NOW BEFORE THIS GETS UGLY!" Jungkook
Jisoo let out a small whine of submission, bowing her head and stood back to slouch back onto the couch all the while letting go of my hand. Namjoon scooting closer to her to bring Jisoo into his arms as if to protect her but Jungkook stomped over to her, red eyes shining down at her but before he could get too close to her I grabbed his arm preventing him from going any further. The moment I touched him, his growling stopped and his red alpha eyes disappeared.
Blinking rapidly Jungkook shook his head and sighed after looking into my eyes and turned back to Jisoo shaking on the couch.
"Sorry Jisoo. I'm sorry.....I....er..I didn't mean to do that. Shit." Jungkook
He took his arm out of my hold and turned his back to everyone, scratching the back of his neck.
I signed towards Jisoo asking if she was okay and she nods but snuggles into Namjoon.
When I knew she was okay I walked over to Jungkook, sliding my hand down his arm and came to stand in front of him, urging him to tell everyone else more of what he intended to. I knew he would know what I was wanting from him, just like Taehyung knew too.
Jungkook nods at me, and turns around to face everyone again.
"I'm sorry everyone. I'm still learning to control my temper. I'm sorry." Jungkook
He spoke hanging his head low.
"It's okay, everyone has to learn something right?" Yoongi
"Agreed." Hoseok
"I have to say that was kind of scary though. It's going to take some getting use to." Jin
Jungkook hums and nods at them sliding his hands into the pockets of his jeans. Now that I know he's calm enough to speak I sat back down in my seat and allowed Jungkook to start speaking again.
"I also wanted to tell everyone that I'm not taking on the alpha role so soon. I don't feel right just taking the position like that. I hope you can all understand?" Jungkook
Everyone nods with an understanding.
"Okay well Jisoo your dad said he would take on duties for me for when ever I'm ready and before anyone lectures me about taking too long I wont take long. It's just not the right time." Jungkook
He looks down sadly and I just know he's thinking about Taehyung as I am right now. How could I not think about the love of my life?
I miss him every day and everything around me reminds me of him.
"Also just because Y/n is my mate doesn't mean Im going to rush into mating her. I'll leave that up to her no matter how long it takes." Jungkook
"I don't mean to add pressure to it though but Jungkook you do know that in order to be alpha you'll have to have your mate with you. You do remember that right?" Namjoon
Jungkook nods almost as if sad about that fact and to be honest I forgot about it.
Jungkook and I just stare at each other for a moment as if having a silent conversation between us.
It still upsets me to think of doing anything like that with any other man than Taehyung but at the same time I know the laws and rules along with what will happen to any wolf if their mate doesn't commit to them. It's torture in a way as they wither away slowly and become weaker and weaker which wont be good for Jungkook being the alpha.
Jungkook knows all this but is very understandable about my feelings. I sometimes feel a little guilty for it.
"That will be between Y/n and I to decide over time." Jungkook
Namjoon nods at Jungkook's comment.
"I also wanted to state that the baby......well erm.." Jungkook
Jisoo finally looked up from Namjoon's hand around hers to see Jungkook's uneasy expression again. It sucks seeing him struggle to tell his friends what is what. So I stood up in front of him, blocking him from view and signed to Jisoo that Jungkook is willing to help out with the baby as much as possible but obviously Jisoo and her mom and dad will be involved in this child's life. No matter what they're still family.
Jisoo just teared up and instantly came to hug me tight, burying her face into my neck as I held her in my arms.
"Did everyone understand what Y/n said?" Jimin
"Yeah." Yoongi
"I did." Hoseok
"Me too." Namjoon
"Yep." Jin
"Good, then I don't think we need Jungkook to repeat it." Jimin
I held her tight in my arms, not wanting to let my best friend go in this moment between us. I started to cry with her too, it's been a while since we did this but it was nice to grieve the pain with your best friend who was hurting just as much as you, or possibly more. That was her brother after all.
Hopefully there's light at the end of this dark tunnel.
