Chapter 34

Taehyung and I haven't talked much in the car. I'm thankful we didn't. A lot has happened this week, so much that I feel numb. When we drive up on to the long driveway of the pack my heart my heart felt a little lighter. Though it's strange here too, at least I have a place that I can willingly go. You know, without being kidnapped and all. Being lost in thought I didn't realize we were home already. The opening door of the car shook me out of my thoughts. Taehyung looked at me with concern, but I quickly shoot him with a wide grin. He returned mine as I get out of the car.

"I want to speak with Aerin." I said. Taehyung looked at me with confusion, "We never had the chance to do the ceremony, I want it done this afternoon." Taehyung face set in concern.

"We have to speak to father first." I shook my head. If the King would find out the pack was attacked because of me, he wouldn't agree.

"No. We speak to your mother." There is no room for discussion in my voice. Taehyung's mouth snaps open but before a word escapes, a loud growling voice echoes towards us.

"TAEHYUNG! IN MY OFFICE NOW!" My head snaps towards the King. Even from where we are standing now I can see his face red with anger. Taehyung bows his head to the ground, grabbing my hand.

"What did you do?" My voice is even more quite than a whisper. Taehyung's posture were stiff as we slowly walks towards his father.

"I took the warriors without permission." He throws another concerned glance my way. My mouth falls open and my face quickly shift towards his father's again. The King looks between me and him in anger. We're in so much trouble. The air is clouded with tension as we follow the King towards his office. None of us spoke. The hair on the back of my neck stood up as I read the kings body language from behind. He is angry. No, angry is an understatement. He is so pissed off, it's a miracle that the floor beneath us didn't burn. When we get to the office, the King let us in first before he throws the door shut behind him with a lot of force. I kept my breathe even as I try not to flinch. Taehyung point towards a chair and I sit in while he took a place next to me. The King sits down, his angry eyes fixed on Taehyung whom still looks down.

"You have taken warriors into a life threatening situation without the permission of your Alpha, without the permission of THE KING!" I can hear Taehyung swallow next to me. "You have gotten their lives in danger for a Mate that doesn't even claimed you as her own. You are a Prince, you carry the King's blood and it's time you act upon it. You're not a child anymore, stop acting like one!" My arms burn in fire as anger took over me.

"With all due respect, King. Taehyung has saved a member of his pack. The pack that he will lead in the future, a pack that he must protect, a pack.." Tha King's hand hits the bench with so much force that it cracked.

"You have no right to speak, child. You're not part of this pack. You haven't been cleared off your accusations. Do not speak to me in a downgrading way, you are lucky you aren't locked up." Next to me Taehyung's head snaps up. I can feel the tension rise as his face sets in anger too. Before he can speak the King holds up his hand.

"As for you, son. You have insulted your King and your Alpha. You have gone behind my back. You left me with no choice but to show the world that I'm not a weak and will discipline my son as i would any other. You will receive five wolfsbane lashes by dawn." Before I can speak anything his gaze turns to me. "As for you, you have until tomorrow to decide if you turn your parents in for attacking our pack or you'll be noted as a traitor." I gasps as Taehyung stands up so quickly that his father's desk flies up a little by the force of it.

"You will not touch my mate, that's where I draw the line father!" The king waves his hand to dismiss Taehyung's words. "You are already responsible for the death of one mate, I'll not allow you to hurt another." Taehyung's words snap me out of my shock, looking at him in anger. He still consider her as his mate?! Jealousy took over me so fast that my whole body sets on fire as I get up. All sounds around me disappeared as I head for the door, out of the King's office.

I ran outside the house. The moment you I set foot outdoors I shift into my wolf form and ran. I kept running through the woods, past the guards that thankfully recognised me. I jump over fallen trees and duck underneath low hanging branches. I ran until my paws are sore. When I'm tired I let my huge wolf body fall on the ground. My breathe came out faster as anger still burns in me. I closed my eyes tried to think about good things. I can't think about Jennie or the pretended parents. I search my mind for other important people before Namjoon pops up in my head. Letting the memories of every training, every progress and even every failures go through my mind. I sigh at how simple was. If I would have known then what I know now I wouldn't be so angry all the time. I wouldn't have fought everyone so harshly or pushed them away because they didn't think I could be a warrior. I would have smiled at it, because honestly all those problems seem irrelevant now. What am I going to do? Will I turn my parents in? They will surely be killed. The attack on the King is not to be forgiven. They will both be dead before I even got to know them. Feeling like I'm way over in my head I slowly slip away into sleep.
