The Wounded Heart ¶¶ TK ✓

Chapter-24

♡

Taehyung stood tall, his imposing figure radiating dominance as he pinned Jungkook against the wooden door. His ruby-red eyes glowered with a feral intensity, starkly different from the void yet curtained warm hazel orbs Jungkook knew so well.

Jungkook's breath hitched, his chest rising and falling in hefty movements as he stared, wide-eyed, at his mate. His jaw slackened, and his trembling voice barely made it past his lips.

"A-alpha," he stammered, eyes searching the depths of Taehyung's crimson gaze, desperate to find a trace of familiarity.

But there was nothing.

A deep, guttural voice broke the tense silence. "What are you trying to ascertain, Luna?" It was Taehyung speaking, but the voice was too deep, too primal---belonging to his wolf.

Alpha V.

Jungkook inhaled a shaky breath, his knees wobbling under the weight of the dominant pheromones saturating the air.

The alpha's power pressed down on him like a physical force, rendering him weak. "Alpha, I-it was just a... teen wolf... Jiey-eon heat," he mumbled, his voice failing as his knees buckled. Words seemed impossible to form; his tongue felt tied, and his mind grew hazy.

"You're drenched in another alpha's redolence," V growled, his voice like thunder, making the omega visibly shudder.

Jungkook's lips parted, but no sound emerged. Panic welled in his chest; his inability to respond terrified him.

A dark chuckle reverberated from Taehyung's chest, and his large hand gripped Jungkook's jaw, forcing him to meet his fiery gaze.

"Just because your alpha isn't constantly lurking around you, you seek attention from others?" The accusation was venomous, cutting deep into the omega's soul.

Jungkook gasped, his doe eyes widening in disbelief. His chest tightened as he struggled to defend himself, his hands clenched into fists at his sides.

Tears pricked the corners of his eyes. "I didn't," he whimpered, his voice barely audible.

V sneered, tightening his grip. "You didn't? The stench of another alpha on you says otherwise, Luna."

The omega stood motionless, his heart aching under the weight of the accusation. The words stung more than any physical blow. He swallowed hard, his tears threatening to spill.

"Weren't you the one who declared to be my mate and didn't want to give up, now what you didn't want to try, or the omega inside you strive for others" V's voice dripped with anger, his crimson eyes unrelenting, every word was venomous the alpha didn't know the damage he was causing.

Jungkook stands motionless.

Tears burn on the corner of his bambi orbs as the omega takes a sharp breath pinned hands fisting into balls his heart tugs painfully.

V noticed nothing.

" 'You never accepted me as your mate, your omega it doesn't change the fact that you are my alpha', these were your words now searching for another alpha" he sputtered in rage blind eye to notice the black eyes shimmering between blue and black.
