Deception

Chapter 9

"Erm..." You stared wide-eyed at the stranger who was sitting on the couch in your living room. She was on her earpiece so she didn't hear you and her eyes were still on her phone. Closing the door behind you with a frown, you walked towards the lady and snapped your fingers in front of her to get her attention.

Flinching, she looked up at you in shock and pulled out her earpiece before standing up.

"Oh, hello." She rubbed her nape awkwardly and you raised your brows at her.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" You asked before you managed to get a whiff of your brother's scent on her. "You're Samantha?" You tilted your head and her cheeks got slightly red, looking embarrassed as she gave a shy nod. Chuckling at her shy demeanor, you told her to make herself comfortable before taking the medical bag that you left on the shoe rack and left to wash up.

Lying on your bed, you stared at your ceiling. It had been days since you last saw Jungkook, and you were still in the midst of a cold war with Jimin. Taehyung was the only one that you talked to besides Jina.

Jaein, come to my house. The Alpha's voice resonated in your head and you sat up. With a sigh, you left your room before you could even wash up and made your way to the Alpha's house.

"Where are you going?" You met your brother not far from your house. He was half-naked and sweating, telling you that he just finished his patrol.

"The Alpha called me."

"At this time?" He asked, looking at his watch. It was a little past 7 and you would usually leave the packhouse at 6, but today you had to make a pit stop at the pack hospital to upload Jina's records into the system. You had no access to the hospital's system from your laptop, so you had no choice but to do it at the hospital.

Nodding, you narrowed your eyes at him.

"Why didn't you tell me that Samantha was coming today?"

He shrugged.

"Would it make a difference?"

Scoffing in response, you punched his arm and gave him a lazy wave before going your way. The door opened before you could even ring the doorbell.

"You're here." The Luna gave a warm smile and suddenly wrapped her arms around you.

You tensed at the unexpected hug and saw the Alpha smiling at you over your Luna's shoulder. After pulling away from the hug, your eyes widened at the unshed tears in her eyes.

What the hell... From her reaction, you already knew the reason you were asked to come over.

"Come in." She said and pulled you into the house. "We finally met after so many years. I'm sorry, I didn't have time to see you since I had to rush to the wolf council to write up a report on the recent rogue attacks right after the wedding. And you have no idea how much I wanted to see you after Kiseop told me who you are to Jungkook." She said as she sat you down on the couch before pouring you a cup of tea.

Kiseop was the name of the Alpha, Jungkook's father.

Miyeon was the name of the Luna, Jungkook's mother, and Taehyung's paternal aunt.

You never really had the chance to interact with them, and the only times you saw them and spoke to them was when you hung around the packhouse with Jungkook, Jimin, and Taehyung. Looking between the Alpha and Luna in confusion, you waited for them to speak.

"I'm sorry for asking you to come over instead of heading to your house myself, but considering the situation, I doubt you have already told your family about Jungkook. So, I thought it would be better to talk here than the packhouse, or your house." She started and you nodded your head hesitantly, placing the cup of tea on the coffee table.
