TETHERED FATE (Jungkook Werewolf FF)

~Memories~

YUNA'S POV:

As I entered the clearing near the tree where we had built our treehouse, I saw a pool of blood on the trunk. My wolf howled in grief, realizing it was Lisa's blood.

Following my werewolf instincts, I headed to where I presume the intruders might have taken Lisa. They might be from the bordering pack near the rogue land, they would send wolves every year to hunt for rogues. I knew it couldn't be a rogue since Lisa would have easily fought him.

"What if it's the delta force from the Silvertail pack?" my wolf questioned me.

My mind went black for a second as the doleful memories flashed before me. 'Silvertail'.... even the word felt bitter, causing a pang in my heart. It was 'my pack', the pack that was the reason for my distorted personality and suffering. They never gave up our search but luckily, they never got to us.

I stopped in my track as the possibility of Lisa getting caught struck me.

"NO!! NO...noo!!" I screamed internally as my body started trembling.

Out of nowhere, a soft and sweet fragrance invaded my senses. I couldn't exactly pinpoint the feeling of warmth that took over me as I whiffed the rich, heady and sophisticated scent. My wolf took over, and it involuntarily started dragging me toward the origin of the intoxicating smell. For a second I let myself free, trusting my wolf to take me to a land of ecstasy.

"LISA!!" I yelled loud enough to bring myself out of the dilemma I was facing. I had to stop my wolf; she was my first priority.

"Mate!" my wolf answered me joyfully.

'How?' I questioned myself. Was I really capable of having a mate beside me? Was god finally giving me an opportunity to change my life?

"Lisa? What about her? We have to save her."

I mentally slapped myself as I again steadied my eyes on the ground. Blocking my wolf out, I darted through the woods, not caring for the thorns that pierced my skin as I ran past thick spiny bushes.

JUNGKOOK'S POV:

"We should have gone west!" I reprimanded my beta, Jimin.

It was the 40th annual treasure hunt day and it was demanded of the alpha to bring something for his pack that would symbolize his benevolence and liberality. He could bring back anything that would benefit the pack and prove prosperous for them.

His late grandfather had found his mate during his hunt and Jungkook had hoped the same for himself, but two days had already passed and the only result he had inferred from the troubles he had come across during his venture was that his hapless state would continue to pursue him.

"We will find less rogues here" Jimin nagged at me.

Jungkook had a hunch that he'll find his mate west to his pack area, but his beta had informed him that according to a survey conducted last year they were less rogues in the east and Jungkook had agreed, not because he was afraid of the rogues but he thought he'll encounter less trouble and be over with the hunt in a day or two, but to his dismay neither did they come across any rogue nor were their any signs of his mate.

"If you both would focus on the task at hand, we might be able to go back soon" Taehyung, the second delta-in-command said.

"Oh don't worry, Hye-Ra would be enjoying without you" Jimin teased Tae.

Taehyung glared at Jimin and started strolling further from us.

"I wish....." I stopped mid-sentence as my wolf suddenly hyped up. I abruptly reacted by halting in my track and as I was about to respond to my wolf a lightly caramelized and almost nutty aroma piqued my interest.

The fragrance galvanized me into action and without heeding the shouts of my comrade I started jolting towards the direction which I believe it was coming from. All the while my wolf was screaming with joy in my head:
"MATE! MATE!"

I wasn't even complaining to his constant rant as I ran deeper into the woods followed by Jimin and Tae who were telling me to stop; they must have been confused but if they could feel at this moment what I was going through, I bet they'll be no better than me.

I spotted a figure in the distance, running through the bushes.

"It's her..." my wolf yelled but stopped once he noticed that she was going in a direction opposite to us.

"Does she not want us? Is she going to reject me?" thousands of questions invaded my thoughts a I hurriedly transformed into my wolf and paced towards her.

Jimin and Tae must have guessed what was happening as soon as they saw her, since they also turned to their wolf form and followed behind me.

As I neared her, I let out a howl commanding her to stop, but she ignored my plead and increased her speed in an attempt to escape. I rounded my wolf in front of her blocking her path, sensing my intentions Jimin and Tae encircled her.

She stood still, trying to find a gap between us. She was desperate, she inclined her head down and charged towards my left. Predicting her movements, I shifted toward the left and transformed back into my human from; ready to take the full impact of her charge without hurting her.

I shut my eyes, ready to feel her soft fur against my naked body, but I felt nothing. I peeked my one eye open to observe the situation and I saw her trembling in her spot. Her blue eyes were wide open in shock as if she had seen a ghost.

"Idiot! Cover yourself!" my wolf demanded. Finally, noticing that I was on full display with my glory, Taehyung handed me some a pair of shorts from our travelling bag.

She lowered her head as I dressed myself. For a second she stood still, before she slowly made her way toward a bush and hid behind it.

Realizing that she was shifting I signaled Tae to give her my clothes.

The awkward silence persisting between us, as we waited for her was at last broken by Jimin

"Is she?" he questioned.

I simply nodded to him in response.

As we heard movement from the bushes, we all focused our attention back to the dainty figure emerging from the bush.

She was thin, her bones were on full display. Dull, dark circles adored her endearing blue eyes. Her long ash black hair looked unkept as if she was least bothered to comb it.

As I focused more onto her features, I felt I had seen her before. My eyes narrowed and my mouth fell ajar as realization dawned upon me... It was her!

"J-jungkook?" she questioned in her petite voice further conforming my suspicion about her identity.

Memories flooded before my eyes and anger filled over me as I howled at her;
"YOU!!"
