Fated To You

Chapter 7: A Clan Divided

The next morning, Taehyung called a meeting with the Eunoia clan's inner circle. He knew that the truth about Jennie and the child needed to be addressed, but he also needed to navigate the delicate situation with care. The clan's strength came from unity, and any hint of discord could weaken their position.

The room was filled with familiar faces: Namjoon and Seokjin, his most trusted advisors and the strongest alpha pair in the clan; Yoongi, Jimin, and Hoseok, whose loyalty to Taehyung had never wavered. They were his closest allies, the ones who had stood by him through every challenge.

As Taehyung entered the room, all eyes turned to him. He could feel the weight of their expectations, but today was different. Today, he wasn't just their leader—he was a man grappling with personal betrayal.

"Thank you all for coming," Taehyung began, his voice steady despite the turmoil inside him. "There's something important we need to discuss."

Namjoon, ever perceptive, leaned forward. "What's going on, Taehyung?"

Taehyung took a deep breath, his eyes scanning the room. "It's about Jennie and the child."

A ripple of surprise passed through the group, but no one spoke. They waited, sensing the gravity of the situation.

"I've recently learned that the child is not mine," Taehyung said, his voice calm but firm. "Jennie lied. She led me to believe that I fathered him during a rut, but that was never the case."

There was a moment of stunned silence before Seokjin spoke up, his tone sharp. "Are you certain?"

Taehyung nodded. "Jungkook confirmed it. The child doesn't carry my magical signature. He's not my blood."

Yoongi's eyes narrowed, his usually calm demeanor hardening. "Jennie deceived you. She knew exactly what she was doing."

Jimin, always the empath, glanced between Taehyung and Jungkook, concern in his eyes. "But what about the child? He doesn't deserve to be caught in the middle of this."

"That's exactly my concern," Taehyung said. "Regardless of Jennie's actions, the boy is innocent in all of this. I've raised him as my own, and I won't abandon him. But Jennie's deception cannot go unaddressed."

Hoseok, who had been quiet until now, finally spoke. "What are you going to do about Jennie?"

Taehyung's jaw tightened. "I don't know yet. But one thing is clear: she can no longer be trusted."

The room fell into a tense silence as the weight of Taehyung's words sank in. Jennie had been a respected member of the clan, and her betrayal would send shockwaves through their ranks.

Namjoon, ever the strategist, spoke up. "We need to handle this carefully. If the clan finds out about Jennie's deception, it could cause division. We can't afford that right now."

"I know," Taehyung said, his voice heavy with the burden of leadership. "But I can't ignore the truth, either."

Seokjin, always the voice of reason, offered a solution. "Perhaps we can find a way to reveal the truth without causing too much damage. If we handle it properly, the clan will stand by you."

Taehyung nodded, grateful for Seokjin's wisdom. "I'll consider it. But there's something else I need to address."

He turned his gaze to Jungkook, who had been standing quietly by his side the entire time.

"Jungkook and I are fated mates," Taehyung announced, his voice steady.

This revelation, too, took the group by surprise. But unlike Jennie's deceit, this news was met with a sense of awe and respect.

"Fated mates?" Jimin repeated, a smile tugging at his lips. "That's...incredible."

Yoongi gave a rare smile, his sharp features softening. "It explains a lot."

Namjoon and Seokjin exchanged a look, then Namjoon nodded. "This is a good thing, Taehyung. The clan will support you."

Taehyung felt a wave of relief wash over him. His closest allies, his family, were with him in this. He wasn't alone.

But as much as the bond between him and Jungkook brought him peace, there was still the matter of Jennie. Her deception had threatened the very foundation of the Eunoia clan, and Taehyung knew that he couldn't let it go unpunished.
