Suppressing the urge to jump out of the car Jungkook only had one thing to say.

"This is kidnapping, you know."

Taehyung took out his phone and started scrolling on it. "Really. have I forgotten to extend you an invitation for breakfast?"

Jungkook shot Taehyung a glare. "Hmph!" he snorted, looking away from Taehyung.

The man next to him did not say anything else. Jungkook stared at the passing scenery outside of the window. Fifteen minutes later, they stopped in front of Carlton Bay Hotel. Jungkook squinted at the huge words that hung fifty stories above him. The door at his side opened with a click. Taehyung bent down with both arms spread between the car door and the car roof. he stared at him intently.

"Can you get out or must I carry you?"

Jungkook shot Taehyung daggers but he said nothing. He stepped out of the car and slapped Taehyung's lower arm out of the way.

It was supposed to be a breakfast, but it turned out to be brunch. Kim Hotel hosted a luxurious buffet selection throughout the day, naturally at an astronomical price per person. Even the oxygen felt expensive. Jungkook crossed his arms in front of his chest, refusing to even take a look at the buffet table. he went to sit at a table in the corner and waited for Taehyung while the latter went to pick up his breakfast.

Taehyung lived a healthy lifestyle since childhood. Boiled eggs, oatmeal with milk and fruit slices, toasts with cottage cheese, avocado, and bacon slices. Jungkook knew what Taehyung would get before he even returned from the buffet table.

Jungkook closed his eyes, stubbornly refusing to look at food and ignoring his crying stomach. One hour top. Taehyung was not a slow eater. His voice rang out close to Jungkook's ears.

"Jungkook."

"What? Mmmphhh!!!!"

Jungkook opened his eyes in fright. Taehyung just shoved a croissant into his open mouth unceremoniously! It was incredulous!

"Go on," he said. "I will keep stuffing food into your mouth until you go and pick your breakfast."

Taehyung, don't be childish! You must be dreaming if you think I will pay any cent for breakfast here! Don't you know how much it costs to eat here???"

Taehyung took a seat opposite Jungkook and started to peel a boiled egg.

"Of course I don't know. i eat here for free. The kim Hotel belongs to my family."

Jungkook rolled with his eyes and rose to his feet, intending to leave.

"By the way, having food inside your mouth is considered eating so it is necessary to pay."

Grinning, Taehyung offered the peeled eggs to Jungkook. "I said that I wanted to invite you. Please sit down and let me treat you to breakfast, Mr. Jeon."

Jungkook did not take the proffered eggs. "For what purpose?"

"To tell me what you know about jake and Lisa, for starters."

Jungkook sighed. He went back to sit and eat the pineapple slice and croissant that he soat out previously.

"Lisa is one of my students in the art class that I am teaching," he started. "I knew that she was a she-wolf from day one. And I also knew that there was another werewolf who was stalking her aggressively. Jake followed her from class to class and tried to talk to her many times."

"That day, he cornered her again in the evening after she finished art club activities. I happened to witness Jake when he dragged an unconscious Lisa into the basketball group storage house. I intervened and got into a fight with Jake. I kept telling Lisa to run away but she didn't. She had been drugged, and the drug muddled her mind. In her confusion, she transformed and escaped into the woods in her wolf form."

"Jake also transformed into a wolf and went into the woods. I could not transform. It took a long time to finally find Lisa and bring her back home with me. I reckoned that Jake would come to get Lisa again, so I did my best to prepare."

Taehyung's eyes swept over Jungkook's thin frame. If Landon was still there, Jungkook would not be woulded that severely. Taehyung has once fought against Jungkook in their wolf forms. Jungkook was not easy to defeat.

"Thank you for protecting one of my own," Taehyung said finally.

"She is also one of my students. Don't mention it," Jungkook replied.

Taehyung pushed a plate of omelets in front of Jungkook.

"Eat properly. The breakfast costs 100 dollars whether you only eat one croissant or a fulfilling breakfast."

It was the most civil conversation they had since they met again. Urged by his rumbling stomach, Jungkook let himself be persuaded to go the buffet table and pick some food.

They spent the remaining time eating in silence. Jungkook's mind started to wander toward his plan to take the train at night. It took seven hours of train travel to arrive at the Blue Hilly City train station. After that, he still needed to take a bus for an hour to reach the nearest station to his destination. The Silent Walker Pack House was around one kilometer away from the bus station. Most wolves would transform and disappear into the woods. Jungkook, unfortunately, had to walk on his two feet.

Taehyung took Jungkook home after the meal. Jungkook stepped out of the car without looking back. Taehyung's gaze lingered on Jungkook back. Taehyung's gaze lingered on Jungkook for some time before he ordered his driver to go back to Great Lake City. After two hours of the car trip, Taehyung received a call from Jimin.

"Taehyung, bad news," Jimin said as soon as Taehyung picked up the phone. Jimin liked to go to the point every time. "Jake has escaped!"

Jake's parents passed away when he was ten years old. he had been raised together with other orphans by the Gamma and her mate. The Infinite Eclipse Pack's Gamma was a she-wolf who went by the name Quinn.

After Jake's detainment, Quinn continued visiting Jake and taking care of him like a mother would. Jake did not show any abnormal behavior during her visits, but then he broke out of the prison after spending only one night in the prison.

It was to be noted that the prison merely served aa a temporary lodging for guilty werewolves who were waiting for the Alpha to decide their fates. There was only one cell inside the prison.

The Warriors watched over him day and night alternately, and yet Jake still managed to escape. The Warrior in charge claimed that he had seen anything. It was almost as if Jake evaporated into thin air.

After careful investigation, they discovered a hole at the bottom of the bed. No one knew how long the hole had been there. The prisoner was inside. It was possible that Jake dug the hole in preparation for his escape if he was ever caught. It looked life his efforts paid off.

Thinking that Jake was hiding somewhere, Jimin had a search conducted to the whole Pack House and its surrounding to find Jake. He truly had left.

"Is Lisa safe?' Taehyung asked.

"Yes, she is. She is surrounding by a lot of people. Jake will not be able get to her easily."

It was easy to get Lisa when she was surrounding by strangers in a city far from home. It was basically impossible to do the so many werewolves who would detect Jake by his scent before the latter even came close to Lisa.

So where did Jake go?

What was he planning to do?

Taehyung clenched his fingers into fists. He could only think of one person who might be in danger at the moment.

"Get the Scouts to find me Jake," he said to Jimin before ending the conversation. To the driver he prdered, "Go back to South Bedford City."
