Taehyung pov ,
Before Minister yu could reply, the door swung open again as jungkook popped his head with a concerned expression on his face.
"There was an attack at my pack at dawn, and three of my warriors were killed. Apparently, Minhoon was trying to break Ester and Hymew out of prison," jungkook said, glancing at his phone as it beeped again.
"My commander ended up knocking both of them out again so we will have to wait a bit before we get any more information."
My heart was slowly dropping into a pit of my stomach.
Three warriors were killed. Three men or women were not making it back to their families today, and it was all because of minhoon. Who knew how many more would be killed if minhoon continued like this?
The Minister yu nodded.
"If you have to take care of other things now, Alpha jungkook, you may go. Taehyung and I will fill you in on what we discuss later."
I heard the door shut behind me, and I raised my head to stare at the Minister yu again,
"Do you understand why I want to go by myself?"
"Taehyung, going by yourself isn't going to stop minhoon," he explained, pouring himself a glass of whiskey before offering me a glass. I shook my head.
"It's not about stopping minhoon. It's about preventing the deaths of all the innocent people."
"Precisely my point, he won't stop his killing sprees if you're not around."
"Minister yu , if minhoon gets his hands on the book, the first person he is coming after is me."
"I don't follow, taehyung. That doesn't explain why you want to go by yourself. It sounds like you're trying to make yourself a sacrificial lamb, which I will never allow."
I sighed, "What are our options? We can't just send anyone to go destroy the book. It's between me and jungkook because the two of us cannot go together. Minhoon has already started targeting his pack and he will probably start attacking the coven when he's ready. Seeing as we are both leaders, one of us has to stay back to protect our people, and if one of us goes, there is a high chance that we will not survive if we do not find a solution to the rogue
dragons."
The Minister yu was silent.
"Minister yu , we both knew for the longest
time that minhoon would come back and now he has my necklace'
I said quietly, using his silence as confirmation that I should continue,
"That was why I trained yoonjin to take over the Coven if anything ever happened to me. I've been ready for this, but Jungkook doesn't think so. And yoongi hyung is also there Plus, there are so many more people that depend on jungkook than they depend on me. Isn't that why he's known as the king?"
Minister yu exhaled loudly and threw the glass
of whiskey back like it was shot.
"I see your point," he conceded, "But
there is one issue you haven't thought of."
I furrowed my eyebrows, "Which is?"
"That mark on your neck," minister yu said, gesturing to my neck with his glass. My hand immediately flew up to feel the indents in my skin.
"Let's say you do go," minister yu stood from
his chair and walked around,
"Moon Goddes forbid, you are killed. What does that mean for jungkook? Do you know the significance of that mark?"
I swallowed hard, "If I'm killed, he'll be in
a worse condition than jimin."
"Exactly, and from what jungkook has told us
, His commander hasn't recovered completely even after knowing his mate is still out there. That is how much damage a wolf faces after losing their mate, and since jungkook marked you, who knows the extent of the trauma he'll face?
