True Alpha (Jikook)

[EDITED : CHAPTER 3]

Jungkook's P.O.V.

Days went by and I kept secretely hiding and sneaking around. Only during the night did I travel to the stream for a wash or to pick fruits. And by now I was perfectly able to see in the dark.

I had also given up on waiting for that blonde guy Tae Tae, knowing he wouldn't be able to find me. We had not even decided upon the meeting place, all I knew was his date of arrival, which was by the end of the week. And the end of the week had been 2 days ago.

It was night again and I was sneaking towards the woods to the north, the place where I had once met that wolf. If I was lucky (or unlucky), I might be able to see it again. I don't even know why I ought to meet that monster, it was ridiculous, but for some reason I wanted to. Deep down I knew it could have killed me easily that day, but it didn't, and I couldn't forget it's silver fur, a smooth silk so soft in appearance, I even had the urge to touch it.

Or was that all just my imagination... nah.

I eventually entered the forest and scratched my neck, it was feeling itchy with sweat and grime. I didn't have a proper bath for so long, so this was expected.

The forest was illuminated with the moon light and a slight fog engulfed the branches, it might have spooked out many, but I wasn't afraid of it, it was nothing compared to the fear I felt the other day, as I watched my brother die and afterwards hearing that wolf's growl which had wrecked me all over again.

I fell in my haste to catch up on time, I couldn't wonder around for too long, the cold was biting. So getting up, I shifted to be on the move again.

I shivered, clutching my loose dirty rags around me to feel some much needed warmth, but it was of little use. "It is s-so cold."

"Certainly."

I jumped, startled.

I looked around frantically trying to search for the new voice and came face to face with Tae Tae. What was he doing here at night? And he seemed different somehow..calmer..more elegant.

"What are you doing here at night, mister?"

"Why? I can be wherever I want to be. You have a problem?"

I was pulled into a dilemma, whether to trust him and stay... or run for my life, to be honest his aura today was different, almost frightening...?

"You are talking differently." I told him timidly, not wanting to disturb the calm.

"I am different, good to know you picked it up."

"W-Why?"

"Because I want to be," Tae said with a deep voice, he had it from the beginning but today he sounded much more gruff and somewhat dark. I wasn't able to understand him and it bugged me whether I could trust him or not.

"Are you here to train me?" I tried to keep my voice hopeful, but his sudden change was freaking me out.

"I am here in search of a wolf, have you seen it by any chance? A silver one."

Now that had made me nervous. "W-Why do you want to meet that wolf?"

Tae was quiet for a long time, making me squirm under his sharp gaze. He was thoughtful and his face towards the moon. I could see his eyes glowing, his frame leaning against the tree not far from me. And I wasn't surprised when he didn't answer my question, instead changed the topic.

"I am waiting for my mate to come, he said he would meet me here."

"That silver one is your mate?"

And for the first time Tae growled at me, baring his fangs. I stumbled back with shock and a sudden fright. Did I say something wrong?

"Never assume one's mate kid, it is offending to the one bonded if you assume wrong."

"Then why are you searching for a silver one, you yourself are confusing and making others assume." I don't know where my confidence came from, but it felt right to argue back for once.

He chuckled, "Sorry, true, ya right." His voice chirped and I knew the friendly stranger whom I had met earlier that week was back. I noticed he wasn't wearing any expensive clothes, but rather very normal clothes, with a loose white tunic and some black lose lowers. Even his jewelry was missing.
