The rut lasted for 2 days. Both of which was spent in agony for both the mates. Jungkook had been locked in the cellar, Namjoon occasionally bringing him food which Jungkook refused to eat, his mind worried about how the trueblood was coping. He knew that the trueblood did not have anyone looking after him like he did and that fact alone made him feel miserable.

Had his mate even eaten? Was his mate okay?

Jungkook couldn't help but worry. Thus, he refused to eat without knowing if the trueblood was alright.

Taehyung on the other hand had spent all his time in the cave itself, he couldn't go out to hunt, in the fear that it might attract other wolves who smelled his rut. He was unmated as it was and normally lower ranked wolves couldn't ignore the smell of his rut. He didn't want to fight anyone or give into his wolf who would most probably give into his urges.

Yeah. It was a chance he wasn't gonna take. So he spent 2 days there, quietly hoping the rut would end soon.

When it finally ended, Taehyung shifted to his wolf and went looking for a lake. He wanted to desperately take a look at his human form, now that he had finally gathered the courage to shift.

The lake was relatively easy to find, which led to Taehyung shifting, naked and staring at his reflection. He definitely looked different. Gone was the innocence, the baby fat and short hair. Instead, his hair was messy as hell, poking on different sides. His jaw was definitely defined now and his body was leaner. He looked good, he mused after he stared at himself for about 15 minutes. It was like looking at a stranger.

Taehyung opted to take a bath first in his human form because he felt icky due to all the sweating he had done during his rut, not to mention the 'ahem' activities he had to do inorder for the pain to minimize. Yep. He had mastubated to the thought of his mate. He is a pervert, he knows.

After bathing, Taehyung looked for a sharp rock, one which could help him cut his hair a bit. Right now it was too long, going to his mid back, which Taehyung didn't like at all. Since all he could do was cut it with a rock, he opted to leave it till his shoulders.

After he was done with that, he shifted back to his wolf and got ready to hunt. He could feel his body was weak from hunger. He needed to have enough strength to travel back to his mate's pack.

With the thought of returning back to his mate, he quickly got to work.

Jungkook had just taken a shower after being released from the cellar. He walked out of his room only to find Jin standing there with a spatula in his hand.

Uh-oh.

'Where the hell do you think you are going young man?', Jin asked, his tone sharp.

Jungkook gave a nervous smile. He knew he was gonna get beaten by that spatula if he said anything.

Jin just huffed and dragged him towards the dinning room table, which was filled with different food.

'Eat', Jin said, sitting on the chair opposite him.

Jungkook smiled. He really didn't want to eat, but his stomach was grumbling and Jin looked so close to killing him if he didn't start shoving food in his mouth soon so he just quietly complied.

It was after he had started eating that he realized just how hungry he really was. That thought alone bought tears to his eyes. How was his mate feeling then ? Did the trueblood eat anything or was he hungry?

He sniffed slightly which led to Jin standing up and coming to him to lay a comforting arm on his shoulder.

'My sweet Kookie. Your mate is a trueblood. He can hunt like a fucking beast. Don't worry about him. He will be fine. I'm sure he already ate. You should be more worried about yourself. How do you think the trueblood will feel when he realizes that you didn't eat anything because you were worried about him?'

That shut off all his worries. Yeah. Jungkook didn't want to piss off his mate. And Jin was right. The trueblood was the best hunter out there. Surely his mate can take care of himself.

He just needed to wait for the trueblood's return.

It was somewhat around afternoon when Jungkook felt that something was wrong. His father, the head alpha looked very tensed and even his hyungs were giving off a weird vibe.

It was obvious they were hiding something and Jungkook hates being kept in the dark. So he had directly confronted his father, which turned out to not be such a good idea because the news had now made Jungkook tensed.

So much for everything to go smoothly.

Apparently, when Jungkook had first met the trueblood, one of the pack warriors had let slip to one of his friends from another pack about the trueblood.

That had happened before his father had given the alpha command to not let anyone outside of the pack know about the trueblood and that one mistake from that pack warrior had now created a shit load of issues.

Firstly, many packs were seeking to come to the Shaded Moon pack to see the Trueblood. They were treating V like an exotic animal or something. That made Jungkook really angry.

Ofcourse, Jungkook's father had denied all request saying it was absurd that people believed a rumor and that it was disrespectful to his son and his son's mate to even allow anyone to come and confirm the rank.

That doesn't mean trouble was over. Rogues have started to try to infiltrate the Shaded Moon pack, and the attacks have increased drastically over the past month that the Trueblood had been there. The head alpha had hidden this from Jungkook and the trueblood became he didn't want them to worry and also because he didn't want the trueblood to feel threatened.

It was honestly a big mess and by the time the trueblood returned to the packhouse, Jungkook was ready to murder people. Had the trueblood been a little late, Junghwan was sure his son would have killed the pack warrior who was responsible for this mess. His son was usually very sweet and kind, but when angered, he could make the greatest Alpha's pee their pants. It was like the Moon goddess just knew the trueblood and Jungkook would be a perfect match. Both powerful and stubborn with very bad temper issues.

Ofcourse, the trueblood's warm and comforting scent erased his anger almost immediately but still, he was on high alert.

People wanted his mate because of his rank, and Jungkook would kill before he let anyone near him. True, the trueblood could definitely protect himself, but Jungkook's protective instincts were very much on alert and he was working on autopilot. Trueblood or not, this was his mate, his lifeline and he will be damned if he let anyone harm or even come near V.

One thing was for sure, the trueblood would definitely not be happy about this. Afterall the only legitimate request that the trueblood had made was to not let his rank be known.

Jungkook couldn't help but feel like he failed his mate.
