Alpha King's Mate

20.

Jungkook: Jimin?

Jimin's face morphed in horror. He turned to you and spoke.

Jimin: Luna queen? What are you saying?

You: You were in the room when Jungkook left me there. Didn't Jungkook ask you to take me to some safe place and stuff? You also put some burning powder in my eyes... for God's sake, it burnt my eyes so bad, and I knocked out a vase... but I don't remember what happened after that... like totally blank... what happened Jimin? Oww... And my head hurts... You were also speaking some vile things near my ears. Something like, you find me pretty... and alpha doesn't value me enough... it hurts to see me suffering like that... Oww... my head hurts so bad...

Jimin: I swear on me being a loyal Gamma to our Alpha King. I don't know what happened.

Taehyung quickly mind-linked Jungkook and Jimin.

Taehyung in mind-link: There has to be some misunderstanding, Alpha King. Jimin was with me the whole time since morning. There is no way he would be with Luna queen. Someone is definitely trying to mess things up between us.

Jungkook in mind-link: I know, Taehyung. I trust Jimin, but I can't disagree with your Luna queen in front of all of you. It would show disrespect towards her. She clearly doesn't know anything that has happened. It is better that we act for now.

Jimin in mind-link: Thank you, Alpha king. I would give up on my life for our Luna queen if needed, but will never put her on the brink of getting hurt... And I did not make such comments for her.

Jungkook in mind-link: I know Jimin. For now, agree to what she is saying.

Jimin in mind-link: But I don't know what exactly happened to her.

Jungkook in mind-link: Cook up some vague story. It must be that Echidna.

Jimin: The danger is now gone Luna queen, or we can say that we did take care of it.

You: Oh, good. But why did you put that burning stuff in my eyes? You could have just used chloroform or something less painful.

Jungkook: Was it very painful?

You: Kind of... but he must have used it keeping my safety in kind, I guess.

You smiled at him sweetly, which he returned with equal sweetness. Taehyung just looked at your exchange and peeked at Jungkook to see him flaring his nose with jealousy. He cleared his throat and spoke.

Taehyung: Eh hmm... I think we should leave now, Alpha King.

Jungkook: Yeah. I'll have to keep a close eye on her from now on.

Jungkook in mind-link with Taehyung and Jimin: Head to the vampires and check if there is anything you could do to help them out. And keep me informed of any progress.

Taehyung/Jimin: Yes, Alpha King, Jungkook.

They then left the room. You turned to Jungkook and spoke.

You: Tell me what exactly happened and what was the danger?

Jungkook: The danger almost got you. The one is our room wasn't Jimin, it was someone or something else. It must have taken Jimin's form just to lure you to a trap. Jimin had no clue about anything. He was with Taehyung all the while.

You: What? Where was I? How did you find me?

Jungkook: You were in the castle itself. But the one who took you...I'm not very sure, who or where it is right now.

You: What do you mean? You didn't get it?

Jungkook: I just got an Echidna who presented herself as you. May be she had teamed up with the one who let her in. Someone had filled her mind with stuff about me which made her revenge seeking self to come here and get you to get me.
