Chapter 41

Author's pov

In the wolf form, big and mighty, Jungkook's rage erupted like a thunderstorm, pure and untamed. The air trembled with his power, every inch of his body suffused with the unstoppable fury of an Alpha driven by the deepest love and the most primal grief. His vision was blurred with red, his senses overwhelmed as the world around him shrank to nothing but one target: Madam Joo.

The earth seemed to quake with each step he took, his movements a blur of savage grace as he closed the distance between them. His claws extended, glowing with an otherworldly sheen, his fangs bared in a snarl that could shatter mountains.

Madam Joo backed away, eyes wide with something akin to fear. For the first time, she realized that her power was no match for the storm that was Jungkook.

"You can't run from me!" Jungkook's voice was raw with fury, a guttural growl that reverberated through the temple. "You took everything from me. You took my family. You took him."

His words were like a whip cracking through the air. And he leaped.

Jungkook managed to bite Madam Joo's shoulder, fangs sinking so deep, drawing out a painful scream from her. The attack threatened to tear her shoulder off.

Crying out, she extended her other arm out, tendrils of dark magic around her fingers as she slammed that hand on Jungkook's head with a force that sent him flying away. Jungkook didn't stop even though the impact was fatal, he rose on his paws and lunged forward.

But as his claws reached for her, Madam Joo's fingers flicked toward the ground, weaving an ancient spell, one that Jungkook had never seen before—one that felt foreign, wrong. The air around him grew thick, heavy, with a pulsing energy that muddied his senses.

Before he could react, her magic hit him like a storm, slamming him to the ground, binding him in chains of dark magic that cut deep into his flesh, restraining his movements with a cruel, suffocating force.

Jungkook snarled, thrashing against the magical binds.

But this time, his power was not enough. He was forced to shift back to his human form again.

Madam Joo grinned, the sick satisfaction in her expression only fueling Jungkook's rage. She spoke, her voice dripping with venom. "You think you can stop me, true blood Alpha?" Her words carried the weight of centuries of bitterness. "You, who have never known the pain of true loss? You were nothing but a boy when I lost everything. I have practiced my whole life for this very moment!" she seethed, her arm healing on its own as dark light swirls around her.

Jungkook's eyes flashed with a feral, bloodlust-driven fire. His body shook with the effort to break free, but the chains held tight. He would not—could not—lose to her. Not again.

And yet, in his heart, he knew.

She had won.

Madam Joo raised her hands, her fingers stretching toward Taehyung.

Taehyung's eyes locked onto Jungkook's, his breath trembling. His words came out in a whisper, fragile and broken. "Alpha... don't... don't let her... please..." The Omega's voice cracked with pain, his eyes wide with terror as he realized what was happening. He pleaded to Madam Joo for his unborn pups.

A trail of blood streamed down the side of Jungkook's head, as he screamed, a raw, painful sound that echoed through the temple, rattling the very stone beneath them. His heart felt like it was being ripped out of his chest, knowing what was coming.

Madam Joo's laughter echoed in the empty space. "I warned you, Jungkook," she said, her voice colder than ice. "This is the end for you. Your precious Omega... your unborn pups... they're all mine now."
