Predator

Chapter 3

The day after, Jungkook entered the campus with his two best friends and deltas, Jimin and Taehyung. He was all excited, and even if he hadn't say a word about the event that had occurred the day before, both of them understood by his actions he had found his soulmate. Jungkook had a flower in his hand, a white rose. It symbolised purity and innocence, which is what he first thought about her when he saw his lover for the very first time. It represented her soul. 

He reached her very soon, she was waiting for Iseul and Wonho inside the building against a wall, when she suddenly saw a flower close to her face. She looked up and saw those gorgeous, hypnotising dark eyes. Although she was very pleased with his gesture and his gift, she couldn't think of anything else but him making fun of her for being a black sheep instead of a white one, the reason why he picked the white rose. Her smile faded very quickly, and she looked at him with teary eyes, a sight he hoped he would never see. As soon as the tears escaped her eyes, Jungkook apologised, thinking he had done something wrong. He asked her what he could do to fix it, but she yelled « Stop talking to me ! You're just like the others ! » and ran away. He screamed « Honey, wait ! », but she didn't. He tried to go after her, but his legs were stuck, his feet were glued to the ground. His heart was broken, and his wolf silently cried. Never in a million years would he think of hurting her, and he couldn't understand what he had done wrong.

But someone else did. Iseul witnessed the entire scene, and she was not happy at all. She came to him and scolded him about his behaviour. She couldn't believe a man such as himself would still bully others. She expressed her disappointment, as he was an alpha, he had to show the best example to the others. None of her words helped him to understand the situation better though, and this irritated him even more. « Don't insult me, you don't even know what happened ! » yelled Jungkook while using his alpha voice. Seeing this, Wonho immediately placed himself in front of his embarrassed and scared mate, in order to protect her. However, he was still scared of him, since Jungkook was very powerful. « Alpha, please let's calm down and see what we can do to fix it. All of us seem to care about Y/N a lot, so let's cool down, please. ». It worked, as everybody calmed down, even the other students around them seemed less tense. Iseul explained him the bullying Y/N had been going through for being different, and the white rose was as sign of mockery to her. Jungkook wanted to cry, he felt so stupid. He immediately searched for her around the entire school, and found her in the music room, sitting on the piano, the place where she had seen him for the first time a couple of days ago.

« Berry, I just saw your friend- » « Leave me alone, Jungkook. » ordered the little sheep with a low voice. « Little lamb, I promise you it's a misunderstanding ! I didn't know about your bullies. » tried to explain the young wolf, terrified to lose her. « Well, now that you know, nobody's stopping you from leaving. » « But why would I leave you, darling ? » « No ! The question is why wouldn't you leave me, Jungkook ! » shouted the young lady while standing up and facing him. « Look at you ! Look at me ! Not only is my skin a light shade of brown in the middle of people with a pale and porcelaine-like skin, but I am also a sheep. A fucking, helpless, ugly black sheep ! » continued the young student, letting her tears descend from her eyes. « Nobody wants to be with an omega like me, so weak, fragile, a sheep who had to run away from her country for persecution, an outsider like me. I don't belong here, nor do I belong with someone... someone like you. ». These words hit the young wolf with such power, that all he could do was stare at her with pain and sorrow. He never thought any of theses things about her, and couldn't comprehend why the other people here in Pusan behaved like this. Maybe it was his trip abroad who opened his heart and his soul to accept and understand the differences between people. Or maybe people were just a bunch of superficial idiots. He wanted to ease her pain, so he got closer to her, slowly so she wouldn't feel too scared. « Don't touche me ! I-I'm too ugly for you. » said the young sheep with a trembling voice. But the wolf couldn't bear hearing any of those words coming out of her mouth to define her own self. He had enough. Jungkook suddenly approached her and took her in his embrace. Feeling his scent surrounding her, and hearing his heartbeat on her ear made her feel safe. He was her safe place.

So she cried. She cried loudly, as if all her sadness had been bottled up in her little body, and had to get out. She held his waist tightly and continued crying. She even called his named as he was patting her head, and mumbling a few words of comfort. His heart was shattered by seeing his mate in such a state, and he wished he would have been there sooner, so she wouldn't have felt this miserable for such a long period of time. « I'm so sorry, little lamb. » said the wolf with emotion in his voice. « I'm so sorry for all the things you went through. I would have done anything to protect you, my daydream ». She soon calmed down, and looked up to have a better view of his eyes. He seemed genuinely sad, and her inner sheep was telling her that he truly felt bad for her.

« You couldn't have changed anything, anyway. Wonho and Iseul comfort me, but they're just my friends. You're nothing to me yet, so it's not like your help would've changed anything. » explained Y/N. « I'm nothing to you ? » asked Jungkook, hurt. « B-but do you not feel it yet ? » « What do you mean ? » asked the young student, puzzled. The wolf then placed her soft hand on his chest, right where she could feel his heart. « Do you feel how fast my heart beats for you ? Do you feel the same electric feeling every time I touch your hands, or you cheeks ? » said Jungkook while doing so. « We're soulmates, Y/N ! We are ! » revealed the young wolf. Y/N took a deep breath, it was so much for her. That was the reason why she reacted so strongly when she thought he offended her purposely. She looked at him again, searching for the truth in his stare, and she found it. Her inner sheep finally unlocked the door leading to their bond, and accepted her soulmate. Jungkook placed then his forehead on hers, and tears of joy gathered in her sweet brown eyes.

« I've been waiting for you for so long. » said Y/N. « I know, I'm so sorry, love. » mumbled the young alpha while nuzzling his nose in the crook of her neck. « I'm never leaving you, now. I promise. I'm here, and I'm staying forever. ». Both were crying, but out of happiness. They had found each other, finally. But a certain detail didn't seem to make their relationship work. « But Kook. » said the younger one. He was delighted to hear her call him by a nickname, a sweet one. Nobody could ever call him like this but her. « Yes, baby girl. Tell me ! » encouraged Jungkook while wiping her tears. « Our hybrid races, it will cause problems. I mean, you're a wolf, and I'm a sheep. We are literally a predator and his prey. » « Yeah, isn't that beautiful ? » « Kook, you know what I mean. Our parents, your wolf pack. They might not accept me. » « Listen daydream, many soulmates are from different races, and it has never bothered anybody. Sure, people might disagree, but we don't care ! Fuck them, doll ! All I want is to have my soulmate by my side, for as long as I shall live, and apparently, my soulmate is a beautiful, stunning, smart, caring, shy, and very cute little lamb. » argued Jungkook with a big smile, making her smile too. « I want you, I need you ! The others can go to the Moon Goddess and ask for wisdom ! ». At this polite insult, the little sheep laughed and felt reassured by his words. He kissed her forehead and left the room with her hand in his. He was ready to show the world who the goddess had chosen for him, and she was too. She couldn't believe how easily he accepted her in his life, even though she felt ashamed of being in it for who she was. But the thought of having someone like him in her life made it easier. She was finally happy.

Almost happy.
