Y'all did read the first book right? If you did then you should prolly look back at it and we'll go a roller coaster ride on this one and keep in mind that this book is connected to the first one. (Pray that I won't be lazy)
Weeks after ...
He didn't came back.
He would never come back.
I smiled and throw a rock on the sea. I wish I could also just throw all the pain away just like what I did with that rock but life is no way near that.
Pain demands to be felt and there's no one that could help me.
"My Seokjin, everything is so painful do you know that? Will you help me get away from this? Could you just take me there with you? I don't want to be here anymore. I keep remembering him in every corner I look and the wound in my heart just keeps opening and as if someone puts a salt in it, it keeps hurting. I want this to stop. I really wish for it to stop and just forget him. "
I cried again for the nth time since he left.
"But even if how may times I try to forget him and do my best to at least get by for just one day without crying for him, nothing works. I drank myself to sleep, work in the pack, live in the shop and not go home but still he's here" I pointed at my heart and hit it multiple times.
"If love is this painful, I don't want this anymore. Just take me, please. Just bring me to hell and I'd even thank the heavens for it. Just take me away here please."
I begged and cried. If it's not for my father I am already gone. I would've killed myself. Why wouldn't I? Everywhere I go his memories are there. All the things I look at kept reminding of him. Even the sea that gave comfort to me became one of the constant reminders of his reality in my life. Our room smelled of him and his scent seemed to be engraved in my brain.
He became my world but now my apocalypse had come. I am destroyed.
I was about to talk to My Seokjin again when I felt someone's presence coming near me. I calmed myself down and wiped away the tears.
"Alpha, I know it's not the time to disturb you, but there's someone looking for you. Somebody named Namjoon came to us to deliver a message and he said he'll be waiting for you."
I gave out a sigh. If I can't find peace here, then might as well focus on my pack. They needed me and I vow to put them on top of my priorities now.
I don't really see myself ruling or guiding people in this pack, at first, yes I do want it but now? No. If my younger self would be here, he would be ecstatic to be in power but I know now that it's all meaningless if you're hollow inside.
I walked back into the pack with only Jin running through my mind.
"Alpha, he's there inside your office."
I nodded my head at him and said thanks.
I walked to my office and grabbed his attention. The moment I entered the room I already cam smell his scent and I can already tell that he's an Alpha like me.
"Good Afternoon, how may I help you?" I said to him.
He faced me and he wore a straight face.
"I want to go straight to the point Mr. Kim Taehyung, I am Kim Namjoon from a nearby pack, we are in need of your help and consider please consider my request. I ask of you to help our pack. Our previous alpha died and I was the only alpha left. My people are dying and the last thing I want is to see our whole pack gone right before my eyes. Our previous alpha is a friend of your Dad and he spoke highly of this pack that's why I know I'll be asking help to right people only if you agree."
I sighed. "Okay. Let's go to your pack let me assess the situation."
"Thank you. Please call me Namjoon."
"Taehyung."
We shaked hands and walked out of my office and headed to his pack. I can see his desperation and determination to make his pack survive.
"It's been years since I've taken over and I still can't move. We have a little source of living and it's not enough to sustain us. There are no school, not even a clinic. I can't hire any resident doctor or teacher to help me and my Luna. That's why I came here and I'm very thankful that you're willing to help."
"You're welcome." That's the only thing I can answer.
After a few moments, we arrived. At first glance you can see how different this pack is from ours. The people here seemed to be ... I don't know. Lacking of hope.
They all looked down and sad?
"Why are the people in your pack looks sad?"
"Maybe because after all these years, they still remember their previous leader that died right before our bery eyes. He was a great leader and everyone loved him. But now he's gone, and his passimg brought sorrow to everyone. You know how connected a wolf is to his pack right? And losing your leader is the worst thinh to happen and accepting a new ruler is hard for them. That's why I asked you to help me. Your pack loved you and accepted you, and we all can't deny the growth you've given to your pack so I hope you can teach us."
We walked around the whole pack and I know exactly what to do and where to start.
Inside me, I know this will be a great distraction for me. I will have the time to keep myself busy and forget Jin for a brief moment.
I laughed at myself. Who am I kidding. I can't get him out of my mind. Not a single second.
I listened to everything Namjoon said and this place is just simply dead. Just like me. It has no hope. People looked afraid and uncertain.
"I know you must be tired. Let's go to my house for a bit and grabe something to eat and I will introduce you to my Luna."
"Okay. I'll be thrilled to meet him or her." I smiled at him. I wish everyone had their partners with them.
"Him. He's really nice and we've been together for 70 years in total. We took a break from each other for 65 years and he just came back to me. This pack might be a bit of a heartache for me but having my Luna gives me a bit of comfort." He chuckled.
We walked for a bit and when we reached his house he made me sit on the living room. His home is simple and it feels warm but what captures my attention is that sweet smelling strawberry scent.
The mark on my neck throbbed and itched at the same time that I have to simply caress it gave it a light massage.
"Babe I'm home! I'm with the Alpha. Please come here, I'll introduce you to him."
"Coming!"
I didn't quite clearly heard what he said because I focused on my mark. It's getting irritable having to deal with the itch but I'm also wondering why it's like this.
Not only my mark but V is also can't be stilled.
"V, calm down. What's happening to you!"
"Babe, this is the Alpha I'm talking about. He's Kim Taehyung. Taehyung, this is my Luna Kim Seokjin."
After hearing the name, I immediately looked up and knew why my wolf and my mark is acting like this. My eyes widened.
Fuck here's my worst nightmare.
He offered his hands and smiled.
"I'm Seokjin. Please call me Jin."
It's him! It's fucking him! How could I not know, his mark and scent confirms it all.
"Taehyung."
I kept my eyes locked to him and never leave his blue orbs. I know he remembers me. I can feel it. I observed him, his face his eyes, and my eyes landed on his scent gland and I immediately knew why my mark was painfully throbbing. He covered our mark with probably make up but I still can see traces of it underneath.
"I'll leave you two for a while, I'll go prepare your food." Namjoon pecked his lips before going back to their kitchen.
So Namjoon was the love of his life? 65 years says it all. I was definitely fooled.
