HIS ROGUE MATE | 𝗧𝗮𝗲𝗸𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗳𝗳

XXXIII

The early morning sun painted the sky with hues of pink and orange as Jungkook, his sleek black fur glistening with the morning dew, sprinted through the dense forest toward the heart of his pack's territory. His powerful legs propelled him forward with an urgency that echoed his inner restlessness.

His heart raced with eagerness as he raced through the forest, an impatient yearning driving each swift step. Anxiety gripped him, the worry for his mate Taehyung etched across his red fiery eyes.

Behind him, Yoongi and Hoseok, also in their wolf forms, followed closely, their fur blending seamlessly with the surroundings. The guards still on alert, had keen eyes around the surrounding the trio protected.

Yoongi noticed how Jungkook was impatient to reach the pack and the alpha was using the last ounce of energy to speed up their journey. Even though he is a true blood, his energy is not well recovered.

"Yoongi, Jungkook might faint since he is using all his strength," Hoseok spoke looking at the alpha racing ahead of them.

"Even if we warn him, he wouldn't listen" Yoongi replied, "But still I will ask him to slow down."

Yoongi charged forward to keep up the pace with the true blood. "Jungkook, Please slow down. You aren't healed yet and you might faint after you reach the pack."

"It's okay, all I am focused on is to reach the pack instantly," Jungkook replied looking at his hyung.

The pack borders came into their view giving a sense of relief to everyone. Without further waiting, Jungkook dashed ahead into the pack feeling a sense of home. His fiery red eyes softened seeing his pack's lively features; alphas training like a routine, the omegas and the children were happily walking around and the betas in the usual protecting positions.

The wolves were happy to see their head alpha coming back in victory. They cheered for him. Even though he was proud and happy, his heart only yearned for one thing; to meet his mate, Taehyung.

Jungkook turned his direction to the packhouse and his pace quickened as he approached the entrance, Yoongi and Hoseok followed him and the guards stood outside to rest.

The whole packhouse was empty, silence that could be sliced through the knife, and he could hear his heartbeat. Instantly, he could smell a mixture of scents which started to suffocate them. It was sour and nauseating.

"Jungkook-"

"TAEHYUNG!!!"

The true blood ran towards the high-pitched scream and climbed the stairs which were led by the mixed scents. His paw steps came to a halt when he reached the corridor. His inner twisted in anxiety and concern.

Jungkook saw the crowd in front of the particular room which only belonged to one person, Taehyung. He increased his pace and reached the room to hear Jimin and Jin crying while the members covered his sight.

A loud growl from him alerted everyone who looked at the true blood. They were shocked at the presence of the alpha who was supposed to be in the woods.

"The Head Alpha is here!!" Yeonjun informed everyone inside the room which made them stiffen. Everyone made way for the alpha to go inside the room. Jungkook walked and stood at the entrance to the room.

The next scene that Jungkook saw in front of him ripped his heart. His heart stopped beating for a second.

His mate, Taehyung was lying still in the hands of Jin.

Jin bawled his eyes while hugging the motionless body of the younger omega. They don't know what happened to tae, and they have to find him in such a state. Jimin was sitting beside Jin's feet, with his swollen red eyes, glancing at the younger who wasn't even giving an ear to his calling.
