My Shy Alpha (JIKOOK)

A Leader

The door to the Pack leader's hut opened after the third knock. The man looked at the young troupe in front of him and tried to analyze the expressions on their faces. They looked panicked, angry, devastated, but he could not seem to understand the source of the turmoil from just their expressions. Then his eyes landed on an alpha...one he'd never seen before but heard from so many times, and even more lately. Now, the man wasn't one to believe anything without proof, so he never really did investigate on this man. He did not hide how surprised he was to see them all in front of his door at this hour. "Oh well don't you all look quite distressed...come inside. My sweet darling just made some tea."

The head Alpha of their pack had always been known as a mysterious but kind man. A man who other pack leaders never seemed to try to argue with, because of his outstandingly calm nature, and his respect of all. A great man overall. Great enough to offer tea in such a situation.

The four friends followed him in without many words spoken, thanking him for inviting them in. The man brought them farther in the hut, to a more hidden room that seemed like somewhat of a conference room. "Sit yourselves down, I will listen." They all sat down at the order, the man doing the same in turn. 

He looked at them once more, focusing a moment longer on the unknown alpha who looked emotional and on edge. "I wondered when I would get to meet you...Jungkook right? Your name has been running the village lately." Jungkook breathed in and out, squeezing Jimin's hand tightly in his. "I'm very sorry sir, I hope my presence in the village didn't bother you..." The man's eyes widened a bit, not expecting him to be as well-spoken and polite as he was. "Well Jungkook, you are after all a member of our pack, I believe. I am truly saddened by the way your reputation was dirtied through all of those years, and very sorry that I did not seek any farther to find you earlier...if I am being very honest, I did not think there really was anyone in this forest, and I thought that the likeliness of a child surviving in there was close to none. I think it was foolish of me to not intervene, but this kind of gossip and rumors usually aren't considered too long by me and my team. You look so handsome, and healthier than I am...You are welcome in the village. Now, What is it that brings you all here in such a panic tonight? " Jungkook let out a breath he didn't know he was holding, bowing to the head alpha softly and thanking him. Jimin opened his mouth, but Jungkook spoke instead. "Kind sir, we-I would like to ask for your help with something..." The man signed for Jungkook to continue, listening to him carefully. " My true mate, Jimin, and I have learned recently that the rumors about myself were spread by...by my father. We learned that my father was Jeon Hyun-Woo, and I wanted to know why he had done what he had done, so I went to meet him with Jimin. But, sir...but..I-" A sob left the alpha's trembling lips. He did not want to cry. He wanted to finish speaking. 

The head alpha's mouth was half open at the sight. He didn't think he had ever seen such a sensitive alpha before. Jimin took over as he cradled Jungkook in his arms. "Sir, Jungkook's mother never wished to throw him out in the woods. Jeon Hyun-woo used her, manipulated her, hurt her! He forced her to give up Jungkook and when she tried to escape from him three years ago...he killed her! He's been eating her sir...he...the whole hut smells like rotten meat, his breath smells like mold...he's been eating this poor woman, Jungkook's mother. " The head-alpha's eyes gradually grew larger in size as he listened to him speaking, and saw the way he tried not to gag in between his words.

 There was a couple of minutes of silence...everyone looking at each other but no one speaking just yet. "These...are very sever accusations you are holding out Jimin...Are you certain?" Jimin's eyes met his in the most sincerity and sadness he'd ever seen. "He's murdered her sir...and he is...consuming her. He has admitted to everything himself. He has told us everything...please, please we need to do something. While this awful man lives, sick but peaceful, Jungkook is believed to be a horrible monster he has never been." The head alpha nodded at him, somewhat puzzled at the situation. "I will send out my best teams at his home in the morning, and I will update you of the situation. I have seen you three grow, Jimin, Hoseok, and Namjoon. You guys have always been brave and have known to impress me very much, thus I will believe your words on this without further questioning for now. You all look far too disturbed to be lying of anything. Please go to sleep assured tonight, I will take care of the matter..."

As Jimin and Jungkook laid in bed together that night, their eyes did not close once. They held each other, one almost shaking, one completely lost in thoughts. They did not sleep, only held each other and tried to think of anything else than the look in this man's eyes as he spoke and the smell of his breath...tried not to think about the body of Jungkook's mother...rotting in a room of the same hut they were in.
