Deception

Chapter 15

Everyone gathered in the Alpha's office, except for your parents, and the silence was so deafening that you could hear a pin drop. Your brother and Jungkook were pissed at Rachel, but the young which seemed unbothered. The leaders of the pack were thinking among themselves, and Laura, Jimin, and yourself were feeling out of place. You didn't even understand why Jimin was invited in the first place since he didn't hold any position in the pack. He was just a regular pack member.

"Is there any way for us to know if Jaein is manipulated?" The Alpha asked and Rachel turned to Jungkook.

He felt her eyes on him and turned to her with a glare. Shaking your head at how childish he was being, you folded your arms and leaned against the couch. Although this conversation was about you, you had little interest in what was happening. You were just here to know what their plan was, but nothing about the plan was discussed. It was just a repeat of what Rachel explained.

"Mated wolves are connected spiritually and emotionally. If they mate, the Alpha's son would know since there would be a block in the connection. But that is if Jaein doesn't purposely block him out." She explained and you immediately sat up, looking at her with wide eyes.

"It still surprises me how both of you haven't marked each other yet." The Alpha said.

"Not to mention your heat. You haven't experienced it yet?" The Luna asked and you turned to look at her.

Right... Nobody knew what you did in the US.

The question made Jungkook widen his eyes in realization too and he looked at you in surprise. A female werewolf would go into heat once she meets her other half, and it would go on for days until you were mated. If for whatever reason the heat wasn't satisfied, it would end for a while but it would start again not long later. It was a vicious cycle that a female wolf had to go through and it was the goddess' way of making sure that the soulmates would mark each other, a way to avoid them from breaking the law of nature and mate with someone not fated for them.

Of course, a wolf in heat will result in marking. It was an intimate process that came together with a big emotional baggage, which was why you wanted to wait until your emotions were stable before you agreed to get marked by him, and vice versa. You were already overwhelmed with your own disappointment and hidden anger, how were you going to take on the additional burden of his emotions?

Laura released an unladylike snort at the question and you glared at her.

"Oh, this is going to be good." She said and you threw a cushion to shut her up. "Is there popcorn?" She continued after catching the cushion and hugging it. You rolled your eyes at her and took the cushion that was behind Jungkook and hugged it.

"What did you do?" Jimin asked curiously.

"Why are you curious? You guys are moving off the rail here. Keep it on track." You narrowed your eyes at Jimin.

"We are on track. What did you do? Is it going to affect us?" Jungkook put a firm grip on your shoulders and forced you to face him.

Pursing your lips, you averted your eyes from him.

"Maybe..." You said softly.

"Well, then tell us." Your brother impatiently said and you sighed.

They'd know sooner or later anyway. Moving his hands away from your shoulder, you took a hand in yours and rested them on your lap.

"I went into heat not long after I reach the US, on my birthday." Some of their jaws dropped and Jungkook squeezed your hand.

"Probably because that's when my wolf matured and she knew that she had already met her mate, but I didn't know so I was utterly confused. It hurt so bad that I took handfuls of painkillers to numb the pain, and when it's gone, I researched werewolf medicines that could help numb the heat but that was when I realized that there wasn't one since there wasn't a need for it in our race."
