The Rejected |Taekook|

Chapter 25🪷

Snake Wooshik is transported to the forest. The snake hisses in annoyance as he feels dizzy from magically materializing inside the forest. "Fuck gods and goddesses with their powers! They toss everyone as they please. I hope I can make Hoseok fall in love with me so I can free myself from the shackle of this curse." He sighed at himself as he looked for a tree to rest for the night.

That night, Taehyung and Jungkook sleep in the same room with Jungkook's arm curling around the omega's waist. Taehyung's head rests comfortably against the raven head's chest. The moon shines brightly, watching over the two lovers who hope to revive the bond they once lost.

It's the morning of the wedding. Everyone in the pack is busy, especially the helpers in the main pack house where Kihyun and Yunhee's union will be held. Hira and Yunhee's mother are supervising the preparations from decorations to the food that will be served. Hira spent a great amount of gold coins for her son's wedding.

Junseo, on the other hand, sends some helpers to Taekook's cabin to help the pair with the preparations. He knows most of the pack members will help with Kihyun's wedding but will never care about Jungkook's. He heaves a sigh as he thinks of his firstborn. Jungkook resents him and he has none to blame but himself. He prioritized his pack at the expense of his older son. He loves Jungkook but he also has the responsibility to make sure no packs would dare question the strength of Obsidian by training Kihyun as the next head alpha. But lately, he was noticing Kihyun's behavior, it made him think that his younger son wasn't meant for the role.

Kihyun is arrogant, selfish and impulsive; traits that a head alpha should not possess for they would propel Obsidian to its doom. If only Jungkook's wolf wasn't dormant, he would make a good leader. Without his wolf, he wouldn't stand a chance against Kihyun or any wolf in their pack. He's as fragile as a human.

The light of the morning sun seeps through the curtains hanging on the windows of the bedroom. Taehyung stirs in his sleep, with his eyes shut, he stretches his hand to reach for Jungkook only to get disappointed after finding the space beside him empty. The smell of pine is barely there. He concludes that his fiancé left the bed a few hours ago. Did Jungkook ditch him on their wedding day? A wave of distraught hits his chest making his hands tremble as he wobbly sits up and leans against the headboard. He is so caught up with his emotions that he doesn't notice he's making the objects in the room float. His sweet lotus scent is replaced with the smell of muddy water.

"I thought the drama here was over. I guess not, seeing the things here are flying around and you are smelling of mud." Snake Wooshik said while he coiled around a tree branch just outside the window. "Are you having cold feet? Did you finally realize that you don't want to marry Endymion's vessel? You know you can always go back to Selene instead of gambling with your heart, your feelings. He may not wake up or worse-he wakes up and chooses Yunhee, what are you going to do? He already hurt you once and you set your kitchen on fire. What will you do next if he abandons you? Are you going to incinerate Obsidian into ashes?"

Taehyung takes deep breaths to ease his nerves. The pieces of furniture fell down on the floor with a thud. "You used to be his best friend, Wooshik. Are you doubting him now?"

"He used to be your lover too, but look at yourself, judging by the way you're acting now, I say you, yourself is doubting him."

"He is still my lover and will always be. Why are you here, Wooshik? Isn't it too early to piss me off? Do you hate your life that much to anger me?" Taehyung's purple eyes are now glaring at the snake.
