Forbidden Tides | Jikook

Chapter 13 ⛈

I was sleeping comfotably, resting after the events from yesterday when I felt the shift in the bed. At first I thought Jungkook was just finding a comfier position but when his presence completely left the room, I pouted.

I was fully awake now.

Maybe he was checking something but without his presence I couldn't sleep. I sat up, blinking away the tired in my eyes and grateful that it was still dark outside.

I leaned over to the bedside, checking the time on my phone. 4:32am "it's too early." I mumbled as I stood up from the bed. I felt my stomach turn next "and i'm sick too? The universe is against me." I muttered as I walked into the en-suite.

Perks of the alphas room, they get the biggest with the en-suite.

I flicked the light on, my eyes adjusting to the light. I caught my reflection in the mirror, I was topless so obviously I looked at my mark. What confused me about this image was, why weren't we together?

The wolf had deemed me more important than the moon, while I had deemed him more important than the sea. It had a meaning to it surely...

The sickness suddenly rose into my throat, I widened my eyes and rushed to the toilet, throwing up my dinner from last night. "Fuck." I spoke afterwards, flushing the toilet with saliva running down my chin. I got to splashing my face with water and grabbing my toothbrush to get rid of this taste.

In the middle of brushing, I heard Jungkook enter the room, coming straight to the en-suite.

"Why are you awake?" He asked, placing a gentle hand on the bottom of my back. I shrugged, spitting the toothpaste out and washing my mouth. "Let's go back to sleep." He said, his tone still questioning. I smiled at him, leaning my face into his chest and inhaling his scent.

My whole body relaxed and I heard his chest grumble in response, his arms wrapping around me. After that, we both walked to the bed, climbing into it's inviting comfort. I nuzzled myself into his neck, both of us enjoying the closeness.

"Where did you go?" I asked, deciding I couldn't fall back to sleep straight away. He let out a soft sigh "I was informed of some suspicious people around my lands." He answered, hand caressing my waist.

"Are we safe here?" I questioned after, hoping for no more violence. I wanted to be able to continue my life without the threat of being attacked or kidnapped. "Yes, definitely. I will keep you safe here and I trust Hoseok to stay with you at school." Jungkook said.

I smiled "I have to go home to my mother at some point, kookie." I like that nickname. He chuckled "never, you're trapped here with me." He joked, wrapping his arms around my body.

I giggled "possessive wolfie." I muttered and squeezed his cheek, he secretly enjoyed me babying him. "You smell so sweet." He stated and began excessively smelling all over me and I began laughing.

"Shhhh, you'll wake the other wolves up." He said with his bunny smile, continuing his exploration of me. "It tickles!" I whispered loudly but he continued.

If he carries on i'll knee him accidentally.

Then i'll feel bad... eh his fault.

I was flat on back, breathlessly laughing but stopped realising he was nosing just one spot now. He placed a longing kiss on my stomach making my breath hitch, the action so small yet I felt sensations throughout my whole body.

I tangled my hand in his hair, feeling the softness of it and smiled. This man is all mine.

He wrapped his arms around me, resting his head on my stomach. I played with his hair, heart warming when I heard his breathing change, he was actually falling asleep in this position. The tough alpha, looking like a cute bunny and will probably drool all over my stomach but I didn't care.

I love him.

"You suck, I win!" Hoseok's loud laughter echoed around the canteen of the school. "Uggghh, fine!" I whined, pushing over my last chewing gum. I could have cheated, reading his mind to see if he was gonna pull rock, paper or scissors but i'm a good friend.

He shoved it in his mouth, dramatically moaning from it's taste while I pouted. "Ahh Jiminie, are you wearing some sort of scent blocker?" Hoseok asked randomly, stretching his sore muscles out.

I looked at him confused, furrowing my eyebrows "huh? No, why?" I asked, taking a sip of my water.

"Your scent is weird." He explained and rested his head in his hand. "Oh?" I sent a questioning gaze his way while trying to smell myself, I couldn't tell.

He pulled a thinking look "well, there's the strong alpha scent from Jungkook but yours is barely there, just something sweet." He explained.

Jungkook had mentioned this before though I hadn't given it much thought. I shrugged "i don't why hyung. Maybe it's what happens when a siren is mated?" I suggested, it being the only thing I can think of. He nodded "maybe." He replied.

"How is Taehyung?" I asked, he had been in charge of him. We took him to a human hospital, making sure he was watched over by many pack members. Jungkook didn't want to risk it, they might have placed another tracker without him knowing.

"He's okay, though I can tell he's been through a lot." He answered with a sad face, I held the same expression. It was time for our next lesson so we made our way there, I was probably going to sleep through it like usual. I spent most of the morning admiring my mate rather than going back to sleep.

We took our seats, mine being next to the window so I could stare off into the distance like they do in the movies. Someone caught my eye, I had to do a double take since it looked like they were staring right at me.

They looked so pale, they need to spend some time in the sun, jeeez. It was abnormally white and when I tried to let their thoughts enter my mind, a headache hit me instead. I groaned holding my head from the sharp pain in my skull.

What the fuck?

This has never happened before. When the pain finally disappeared, I looked back up to find them gone. Did they somehow pull an uno reverse on me? I was the one affected after trying to use my power...

I turned my head to at Hoseok, him being fully immersed in the lesson. A different voice grabbed my attention "are you okay?" I was asked. A human classmate, she wore a concerned expression despite not knowing who I was really.

"I'm fine, thanks." I replied, sending her a smile of reassurance. She nodded and concentrated back on the lesson, jotting down notes.

There was definitely something suspicious about that person I saw staring at me. They clearly get no sunlight on their skin at all and it just looked smooth overall, having no blemishes.

I was now wary of possibly being watched, a feeling of anxiety building up.

They way they looked at me, like I was weak and powerless didn't sit well. I will tell Jungkook later since he was insistent he stays over at my house.

My mother knew of me and Jungkook now from a brief conversation on the phone. Her voice was laced with something other than surprise and she did not say much on the matter. She just made sure I was safe asked when I will be back home.

I was afraid but the thought of having my mate right next to me had me feeling I could conquer anything thrown my way.

My tummy was fluttering just at the slight thought of my mate, the need to just be in his arms. Wow, and just a while ago I was running from him and rupturing his ear drums, I chuckled lowly.

Now deciding to focus on the lesson before I start thinking about his rock hard abs—

Ah...too late.

I wafted myself with my hand, it suddenly got hot real quick.

Okay focus, wow shakespeare again.

I read the teachers mind, it was flourishing with knowledge, successfully distracting me.
