20 - A Spy?

Jungkook's POV

I slammed my fist onto the table, nearly breaking the wooden table into half, upset at what had happened to my family again. Hoseok had called to say that the four of them were safely back home, and Areum couldn't stop worrying albeit them telling her that they would heal in no time.

It was true, though, that we werewolves had the ability to heal faster than any beings on this universe. There were only two deadly things in this world that would kill us - Wolfsbane and Silver Bullet.

"We have to speed things up if we want to stop this from happening again." Namjoon said while pushing his glasses up.

"Agreed." Yoongi who was also wearing his glasses spoke while stretching his limbs.

"The information we got aren't exactly useful and we have no idea where our enemies are hiding at, and I'm sure that the pack in charge of this area must have sensed our presence by now." Seokjin listed down the things that were worrying us most. "Should we pay a visit to the pack here in Busan?"

I nodded my head. "Let's go meet them."

Travelling with our pickup truck, with Seokjin driving, we reached the pack house that was a little smaller compared to ours back home and got off the truck.

The door was flung opened even before we pressed the bell.

"Annyeong!" The Alpha of the pack greeted us with a smile. "What brings you guys here? Ah wait, is it about the game about killing your mate?"

I growled at him when Namjoon stepped next to me. "Junmyeon, you know how serious this is."

He scoffed before leaning against the door frame. "Of course I know how serious this is. I've heard stories about the nonstop attacks. Words travel, ya know?"

"Then you must know why we are here." Yoongi said matter-of-factly.

"Yes, but I can't help you. All I know about this stupid game of theirs is that whoever kills Jungkook's mate first would be granted a wish."

"We know that already."

"And," he paused dramatically before continuing, "this wasn't started by our mutual enemy. It's by some new werewolf who's recruiting rogues to be his or her pack."

I was shocked to hear that. "A new werewolf? How is there a new werewolf?"

"You find out yourself, brother. How am I supposed to know?"

On the way back to our hotel, I felt an unsettling wave of emotion wash over me. Fishing out my phone, I dialled Areum's number and waited for her to answer my call.

She picked up after three beeps. "Hello?"

"How are you?" I ignored the cheesy glances shot towards me by my older hyungs in the car by glancing out the window.

"Fine. When Hoseok oppa told me that you guys can heal really fast, I didn't believe it until I witnessed it with my own eyes. Everything's exactly like how the fantasy novels had described!" She chirped, and I found myself smiling at her voice.

"What are you guys going to have for dinner?" I asked, and heard her running towards where background noises of video games were heard.

"I'm putting on the speaker." She stated and high pitched screams erupted from the speaker.

"Oh my gosh." I hissed and nearly threw my phone away, and put on the speaker on as well on my phone.

"Hello guys!" Taehyung greeted, and the hyungs in the car greeted back.

"Jungkook is asking about our dinner plan." Areum said to them.

"Ramyeon?" Jimin suggested.

"Cook some decent food, will you guys?" Seokjin scolded from the driver seat.

"But we don't know how to cook without burning the house down!" Hoseok whined.

"I'll cook! Are you guys coming back today?" Areum questioned.

"Nah, tomorrow morning." I replied her.

Damn, I really wanted to taste the food she would be cooking.

"There are plenty of ingredients in the refrigerator, Areum. Feel free to pick whatever you like." Seokjin said to the phone.

"Noted. Want me to prepare breakfast for you guys when you all return?"

"YES!" All the boys, including me agreed in joy, earning a chuckle from Areum.

"Araso araso. See you boys tomorrow morning then." And the call ended.

"We're so lucky to have Areum as our Luna." Namjoon commented randomly from the front.

"More reasons to protect her at all cost." Yoongi stated, and we all bobbed our head in agreement.

"Speaking of which, we know all the werewolf packs in South Korea, don't we?" Seokjin questioned.

"We do. And that's why it's kinda weird for a new werewolf pack to be formed. Our packs had been going on for generations since the Joseon Dynasty." Namjoon added.

"Unless it's a rogue who is aspiring to be like us." I said, "But why aim for particularly our pack? I don't get it."

"We are the strongest and the richest pack, maybe that's why. Who knows they will be aiming for the other packs soon." Yoongi uttered with his eyes shut.

"This is unfair." I complained.

"Life is unfair, Jungkook. Remember, the grass is always greener on the other side." I saw Namjoon looking at me from the side mirror, and he was smiling knowingly.

I sighed. "How did they find out about where Areum lived, studies, and her free time? No matter how strong her scent is there is no reason for the rogues to be able to make out where she is just from their first try."

"An insider, maybe? A spy?" I glanced up at Seokjin who suggested that.

"But who? I'm sure it's definitely not one of us."

"Someone close to her, then. Does anyone else know about us being werewolves besides her?" Yoongi rested his head on his hand.

I shook my head. "Not that I know. She hangs out only with Jimin hyung and another girl named Yejin."

"Isn't she the one who dragged Jimin away when the kidnap happened?" Namjoon enlightened.

"Yeah-" I halted my speech when something clicked in my head. "You don't think..."

"Who knows?"

"I don't smell any typical wolf scents from her though. She's a mundane human." I pushed my bangs up while sighing again.

"I still think it's worth a try to ask about her. I've always thought that she sounded fishy when she pulled Jimin away." Seokjin added.

"Same here." Yoongi raised his hand slightly.

"Kookie, we'll ask Jimin and Areum about her as subtlely as possible, is that alright with you?" Namjoon asked.

"Yeah. Better to be safe than sorry." I replied.
