CHAPTER 6

12:40 PM, JEON MANSION

The dullness of the room, epitomized by the black curtains and the brownish-grey walls, spelt a dismal disposition that went utterly hand in hand with the owner. Dressed immaculately in his black suit, Jungkook sat at the edge of his bed striking, but disappointed at what lay ahead that day.

Kang Miso, his future partner, was to officially move in to be with him in this very room, a space no one else was allowed to enter. The entire mansion was decorated lavishly to show it was indeed a celebration of the decade. Of course, it had to be the Jeon family. But Jungkook felt no joy; what had to be done would be done, regardless of his wishes. A mate he could love, share his life with, and reveal his true self to; a mate who would see him for more than the powerful facade was but a dream that was too far off to be even thought of anymore.

A knock on the door jerked him out of his thoughts. Undoubtedly, it would be either one of the two people who were permitted inside his room: Taehyung or Jin Hyung. He cleared his throat in the process and finally granted permission to enter.

"Are you ready?" His father's sudden voice caught him. Not expected.

"Yes, Dad. I'll just be down in a minute," Jungkook answered, void of feelings.

He had been so close to his father after his mother passed away. He had at least expected more from him. Was he being selfish?

"Jungkook, I do understand what you are thinking, how you look at everything," his father began as he sat down. "But son, everything has some limits to follow. You have been strong and you will be even stronger after this. It is all for you."

"Yes, Father, it is all for me, something I never wanted," Jungkook chuckled bitterly and clenched his fist until his blood rushed to the knuckles.

His father's face showed no emotion, but he took offence. Did he feel guilty? Jungkook didn't think so. His father was an influential man, with the mere power to stop this arrangement with one command of his, but he wouldn't. Power was something he feared losing.

After the mating ceremony, Jungkook would be declared the Alpha of the Jeon pack, the same rank as his father. If that rank made one so vulnerable, he wasn't having any part of it.

The air was heavy. Suffocating. His father stood up to leave, then a second knock stopped him. Their beta. His face, upon permission to enter, was tinged with a sign that something grave had happened.

"Alpha, I am sorry for my interruption, but Mr. Kang has just told me that Madam Miso has been kidnapped," the beta reported, clear in fear.

"How come....?" Senior Jeon stopped at that, in disbelief.

That was impossible. Kang's daughter had been kidnapped? Impossible. not anymore. No one would dare lay a hand on such a mighty pack's daughter, but someone had.

Jungkook felt confused and disbelieving. Someone had kidnapped his future mate without his knowledge. Not that he cared for her, but will this stop the mating?

"Alpha, this is big trouble. She was taken from our territory. We need to act fast before Mr. Kang loses his temper," the beta urged.

"Jungkook," his father's voice was strict, laced with doubt.

"Believe me, Father, I know nothing about it, but I'll find out," Jungkook replied. But then again, no one could be kidnapped from Jeon's domain without some help from the inside. His cousins. they still hadn't listened to him. And now he had to shield them and clean their traces.

Going down the stairs, the first thing that beckoned to his eyes was his cousins partying around, drowning in oblivion to the turmoil they would have caused.
