Chapter Thirteen

"You're so damn annoying."

"Fuck you, Jeongguk."

"Shut the hell up," Jeongguk snapped, rolling his eyes as he shoved Mingyu hard enough to make him stumble back into the wall. A loud groan escaped Mingyu's lips as his head thudded against it.

"Wanna have a drag?" one of the boys muttered lazily, holding out a cigarette toward Jeongguk.

The sixteen-year-old shook his head, his eyes glued to his phone, completely uninterested.

Mingyu rubbed the back of his head and scowled at Jeongguk before turning to the boy offering the cigarette. "Quit smoking. If Taehyung-hyung finds out, you'll regret it."

The boy scoffed, exhaling a puff of smoke. "As long as you keep your mouth shut, no one will know."

Mingyu sighed and leaned against the wall. His eyes flicked back to Jeongguk, who seemed unfazed by everything around him. It was strange seeing how much the once-shy kid had changed.

Now Jeongguk ruled the school, feared by everyone, with his reputation as "The Boss" growing stronger by the day. His gang wasn't just a group of bad boys—it was a nightmare for anyone foolish enough to cross him.

And Taehyung had no idea.

Jeongguk suddenly shoved his phone into his pocket and stood up, his sharp, commanding gaze sweeping over the group. "I'm out of here."

"Leaving already? What, no dramatic exit line?" Mingyu teased, trying to mask the unease he felt whenever Jeongguk got like this.

Jeongguk ignored him, muttering under his breath as he walked away. "God, I'm turning into an even bigger asshole."

His wolf growled in agreement. "You were born an asshole, so congrats on staying consistent."

"Shut up," Jeongguk hissed in his head.

"Should I congratulate you on being the worst kid ever? Luna and Beauty would be so proud."

"Don't fucking call him 'Beauty.' He is my Hyung and—" Jeongguk stopped mid-thought, realizing he'd taken the bait. His wolf snorted in amusement before cutting off their mind-link.

Jeongguk sighed in frustration, running a hand through his dark hair. At sixteen, he was already taller than Taehyung and far more muscular than most boys his age.

But despite the image he portrayed, he wasn't as bad as people made him out to be—or so he convinced himself. He is protecting Omegas, he remembers his father's words.

"As long as I'm not picking on weaklings or Omegas, I'm not a bad person," he whispered to himself, though the words felt hollow.

"I think we should build stronger, reinforced walls to secure the perimeter," Taehyung said, setting his pen down as he scanned the room for feedback. They were gathered in his office in the packhouse, discussing the growing rogue problem.

"They'll get through no matter what," Hoseok replied, his tone grim. The Alpha, who also served as the pack's doctor, leaned forward. "They've been targeting the outskirts nonstop. This isn't random—they're planning something."

Taehyung rubbed his temples, already exhausted. "Then we need to stay alert. Yoongi, double the training for your men. We can't afford to be caught off guard."

Yoongi nodded, his sharp eyes glinting with determination. "Consider it done."

Taehyung turned to Hoseok. "You'll take full charge of the pack's hospital. Make sure we're prepared for any casualties."
