Second Mate

20

Feeling somewhat uncomfortable, Yaejin tried to let herself calmed. Knowing Jeongguk talked about Yeoni made her felt disheartened because she did feel a little bit changes in Jeongguk behavior. He seemed softened and Yaejin couldn't help to feel small happiness.

Yet, those were just dreams she thought. Jeongguk might be needed her help that's why he was a bit soft. She felt unclenched in her heart. She shrank herself feeling smaller and smaller next to Jeongguk.

Then, she felt pair of eyes stared at her and she couldn't help but to look back. Jimin watched her and she knew the kind of eyes that watching her. Sympathy. Feeling sorry. 

She averted her gaze. She didn't want that from Jimin or anyone. She knew she had to be strong. Not feeling intimidated with this mate things.

Jeongguk saw what happened. Jealousy crept up to him when Jimin and Yaejin locked eyes with each other. He didn't like it at all. He turned his head and somehow watched Yaejin slowly moved a bit from him with her head downs on the floor. Again, he didn't like that. He didn't want Yaejin to move away from him. He had to do something.

Yaejin tried to make herself sat a bit away from Jeongguk but she didn't want Jeongguk to notice. But, suddenly her hands being grabbed and settled on her lap. She quickly turned her head up to see Jeongguk still face to the front as if he didn't do anything. She turned back to her hand and tried to let her hand go but Jeongguk firmly held hers. She later on gave up knowing her strength was not compatible to the man next to her.

"Jimin, please continue." Jeongguk said, firm but inside he wanted to smile when Yaejin finally let her hand to be hold. He felt content when he touched Yaejin. He slowly rub his thumb on Yaejin's soft hand.

Jimin coughed a bit. "She was outside and I'm sure she was with someone else but I couldn't smell the other wolf. As if the smell be covered with something."

"Or by a spell." 

Everyone looked at Yaejin. "It could be done if she knew the spell."

While everyone else nodded agree except Hana, Suri and Jeongguk looked confused.

"What do you mean?" Jeongguk asked and Yaejin felt the grab on her hand felt tighter. Yaejin looked at Jimin and Yoongi for permission before she spoke.

"Yeoni knows how to use spell like me."

"Well isn't that your pack special ability?" Jeongguk asked again feeling confused.

"Not everyone in the pack in fact only human-born werewolves can use spell. Yeoni is not human-born. You said it yourself that she is a werewolf, right?"

Jeongguk then realized Yaejin's word. "She was not supposed to know to use spell. But, how can she? How do you know she did use the spell?"

"We all know she used it. She used other spell on us and you as well." Yoongi calmly said. Jeongguk was surprised that he didn't know or is it? He furrowed his brows.

"You might not believe us but we tried to tell you many times. You were just didn't want to listen."

Jeongguk feeling heated up. He didn't know how to react. Either embarrassed or mad. Was he so into Yeoni that he didn't realize she put him on spell. He really surprised with himself and suddenly he realized all the things happened before. Like something strucked in his mind to let him remembered. His head felt heavy as he was hit by those memories.

The hand that grabbed her suddenly lost its touch making Yaejin turned to look at Jeongguk as he held his head frowning with closed eyes. Indicated that he was in pain.
