the clatter of boots echoed through the corridor, fading voices of teachers lecturing in respective classes sounding along the path. it was silent apart from the sound, no other sound was heard, only a whistle of wind fanning at ease.

the pair stopped in front of a certain room, which read 'principle's office' on the door. he knocked on the door, turning the knob after, and walked into the room. with bored expression painted on his face, he sat across the man.

"what is it?"

he asked, crossing his arms on his chest as his left knee drawn upon the right, facing the older man; the principle aka the pack's elder and also, the older brother of his deceased mother.

"don't you have something to tell me?"

a sigh passed through his slighty parted lips. he sat up. he knew he couldn't hide anything from his uncle, not because he's an elder but he was the one who seeked a close relationship with jungkook despite his loathing against the alpha and the said man's irresponsibility upon his sister's death.

"you knew."

jungkook spoke out after a few seconds, looking away to stare out of the window, trying to avoid eye contact. it wasn't his intention to keep this out from the man before him but he wouldn't be running around, telling taehyung was his mate, a male. and of course, the pack members wouldn't accept this willlingly as well as the other packs - which they would see it as a disgrace regardlessly.

"the less people know, the better."

he continued and looked back into his uncle's eyes, reading the emotions running through them.

"yes, it's better that way. but you have to know something. about your mate. and it's important."

jungkook frowned, about to question his uncle's words but the door opened, breaking their conversation as hoseok and another man walked into the room, making jungkook curled his lips in annoyance at the sight of the new comer.

"what is he doing here?"

"hello to you too."

the guy greeted with his dimpled smile while jungkook rolled his eyes, raising his brow at hoseok who grimaced.

"don't give me that look. ask your mama's bro. he told me to fetch this freak at the entrance."

"is that a compliment?" namjoon asked with a dry stare, at which hoseok glared. the principle cut them off, gaining attention.

"he's your mate's brother. he has answers to your questions. and he knew a lot of things, even more than me probably."

that made jungkook and hoseok confused. it was quite impossible that someone knew beyond an elder and more, when one was pure blooded like this man fronting them.

"it is not... possible?" hoseok spoke in uncertainity. his brows creased as he waited for answer.

"you know... werewolves ain't the greatest." namjoon said which made the others drolly stare at him and he shrugged. jungkook looked back at his uncle.

"what is this about?"

"he's not the kind that resides in this part of the world, mostly." jongwon, the principle, pointed at namjoon and continued. "for some reasons, he moved and met taehyung. it's quite illogical that how taehyung turned out to be your mate but as you see, it happened which obviously, will bring you a couple threats. you have to be cautious."

the man ended his long explanation (although it wasn't quite clear) and scanned the room to see the response. but the room was dead silent, making the atmosphere pretty chilly.
