Chapter 17 - 16 RAGE

"Nephew?!" Jin gasped.

"Yes, oppa. I'm sorry I kept it from you and Namjoon oppa. It's just that we were both in a very complicated situation back then." So-Hyun said.

"It's alright, I understand. But, you know what? I'm very happy because now, we're practically family." Jin said, hugging So-Hyun.

"Um, auntie, I saw my parents in a dream...or looked like a dream...anyway, he told me about my lunar powers. So far, I've done some stuff that my mind couldn't even grasp. It all just came out naturally and would usually be triggered by my thoughts. I would like to know how to control them and what else I could really do. Can you help me?" Taehyung asked.

"Of course, that's why I gave you my card but you didn't contact me." So-Hyun said as she pouted.

"Sorry, I had second thoughts as I wasn't sure about your intentions then. Though, even if I did decide to call you, it eventually went blank." Taehyung said.

"Oh, yeah forgot about that. I placed a spell on it. You will only see the content if you really wanted to contact me. That was my way of keeping it confidential between you and me." So-Hyun explained.

"That's so cool. Can I do spells too?" Taehyung asked.

"Of course, I'll teach you spells one of these days. It will be a pleasure." So-Hyun said.

"Can you teach me how to read minds too?" Taehyung asked, with a serious tone this time.

"Hmmm...I'm an empath so it happens naturally for me, Taehyung. I'm not sure if it can be taught. But, why would you want to read minds though.?" So-Hyung asked curiously.

"I actually just need to do it to one person." Taehyung said.

"Who?" So-Hyun asked.

"Jeon Chang Wook." Taehyung said, surprising the latter.

"Why? What do you have against him?" So-Hyun asked.

Taehyung told So-Hyun everything.

"What if we find a way for the two of us to meet and I'll do it myself. I can't allow you to meet him all by yourself, Taehyung. If he could kill his own father, he can hurt anyone else." So-Hyun said.

"Okay. I'll tell Jungkook. I promised him that I won't make a move without him knowing." Taehyung said, and then added, "Speaking of Jungkook, I wonder why he isn't back yet. I'm getting worried."

Taehyung stood up and excused himself to go inside the house. He went to look for the others and found them all still talking at the living room.

"Jimin, would you know where Jungkook went?" Taehyung asked.

"No, we're also wondering where he could have gone and why he isn't back yet. I tried calling his phone, but my calls just go straight to voice mail." Jimin said.

"Should we look for him?" Taehyung asked.

"Yeah, we should." Yoongi agreed and stood up.

They were getting ready to leave when a knock on the front door was heard.

Taehyung rushed to open it and he found some scared-looking young alphas outside.

"Sorry, what can I do for you?" Taehyung asked.

"We're looking for Yoongi hyung." One of the boys said.

Yoongi heard his name and he quickly went to the door.

"Taehyun, Gyu, Jun! What are you guys doing here?" Yoongi asked.

"Yoongi hyung, it's alpha Jeon. He's at the pack training grounds and he's very angry. He's forcing Suno hyung to talk." Choi Beomgyu, Suno's younger brother said as he wiped his tears.

"Shit." Yoongi cursed, "Hoseok! Bogum! Jinyoung hyung! We have to go. Jungkook got Suno, we need to stop him." Yoongi shouted before running towards his car with the three boys.

Hoseok ran towards Suga's car while Bogum and Jinyoung ran to another car, not noticing Taehyung following them. When they were inside the car, Bogum heard the back door open.

"Taehyung? You can't come with us. It's too dangerous." Bogum said.

Just then, the other door opened and Yoo Jung and So-Hyun hopped in.

"Yoo Jung, So-Hyun noona! Not both of you too!" Bogum yelled.

"What? Because we're girls and Taehyung's an omega? I dare you say yes and I'd snap your neck." Yoo Jung said.

"Come on, Bogum. Let's just go." Jinyoung said and the latter reluctantly followed.

"Uncle Jinyoung, why does everyone look so worried and scared?" Taehyung asked.

"Well, Taeh, Jungkook is the strongest trueblood and there was a time when his wolf went out of control and he almost killed an alpha who physically abused his wife. He felt bad after he managed to control his wolf. Since then, he's been very cautious until now." Jinyoung explained.

"So you're saying he could end up killing Suno?" Taehyung asked worriedly.

"Yes. You saw how mad he was when he left. He probably went out looking for Chang Wook and when he couldn't find him, he could have decided to look for the three suspected accomplices." Hoseok said.

Taehyung kept quiet and bit his lower lip. He contemplated for a few seconds before closing his eyes and focused on linking his mind with his mate.

Kook, can you hear me?

T-taehyung?

Love, stop what you're doing please. You can't hurt Suno. That's not you. Relax your mind and listen to me please.

We have to know where Chang Wook is, Taehyung. He has to pay for everything he's done.

I know, Jungkook and we will find him, just please stop JK and take the lead, love. You've got this. I believe in you. 

L-love, h-help me. I can't stop. He won't talk.

Upon hearing his mate's cry for help, Taehyung concentrated further and in just a few seconds, he found himself in a field with several alphas and betas. He looked around and saw what was happening.

Jungkook's one hand was gripping Suno's hair while his other hand kept hitting the latter on the face.

Taehyung didn't waste any second and ran towards Jungkook, hugging him from behind.

"Love, stop, please." Taehyung whispered softly on Jungkook's ear.

Jungkook froze and closed his eyes. He felt his anger go away almost instantly as if a switch just turned off. He smelt Taehyung's scent and felt his warmth, making his nerves relax. He let go of Suno's hair and the latter's body just fell to the ground.

The trueblood fell on his knees and Taehyung hugged him tightly.

"That's it love. Just calm down. I'm here." Taehyung softly said.

"T-taeh." Jungkook mumbled as he opened his eyes and looked at his mate.

"You're okay, love. Suno's okay." Taehyung said.

Jungkook hugged Taehyung back, tightly.

"I-I couldn't stop, Taeh. I'm a monster." Jungkook said under his breath.

"Ssshhh. You're not. You were mad and it's understandable. If I was in your shoes, I'd be mad as hell too." Taehyung said.

Just then, Yoongi and Hoseok arrived and carried Suno around their shoulders to bring him to the training ground infirmary.

Taehyung helped Jungkook stand up.

"H-how did you get here so fast?" Jungkook asked.

"Um, I'm actually here and in Bogum's car at the same time." Taehyung said.

"I'm so thankful you got to me just in time." Jungkook said, panting, as he hugged Taehyung and buried his face on the omega's neck.

"I'll always be here for you, love." Taehyung said as he rubbed Jungkook's back.

The two stayed that way not knowing that someone's staring at them...as livid as Jungkook was a while ago.

You will be mine, Taehyung. Mark my words. You will be MINE.

"How is he?" Jungkook asked as he entered the infirmary with Taehyung.

"Broken collar bone and ribs, but he'll live." Yoongi said without looking at Jungkook.

"I'm sorry, hyung. I know you're disappointed in me." Jungkook said with head bowed down.

Yoongi sighed. "Jungkook, I'm not, okay? I'm more disappointed at Suno for taking Chang Wook's side. I've already asked some of our men to go find Kai and Sehun."

The door of the infirmary opened and in came Yoo Jung and So-Hyun.

"Jungkook, this is my aunt So-Hyun aka Professor Lee. She pretended to be a professor at the University to get close to me. Anyway, she's a witch...an empath. She can read Suno's mind for us and see if he knows Chang Wook's whereabouts." Taehyung said.

Jungkook bowed his head at So-Hyun and the latter did the same.

"I'm so happy to meet you, Jungkook." So-Hyun said.

"Likewise, noona." Jungkook said.

The doctor, Choi Woo Shik came out of Suno's room.

"Woo Shik oppa? You're a doctor here?" Taehyung asked.

"Luna! It's so nice to see you again. Are you here for Suno?" Woo Shik asked.

"Kinda. How is he?" Taehyung answered.

"He'll heal soon enough as he's an alpha. But, I noticed something strange about him. He seems dazed and confused, as if he's not himself." Woo Shik said.

"May I see him?" So-Hyun asked.

"Are you his relative?" Woo Shik asked.

"She's my aunt, oppa. Please allow us. It's quite important." Taehyung explained.

"Ok, Luna, but only for a few minutes. The patient is conscious now, but as I've said, he's not himself." Woo Shik said.

Taehyung nodded before he, So-Hyun and Jungkook went inside the room.

So-Hyun walked close to Suno and looked at him closely. She then placed her hand on both sides of his temple and closed her eyes. Suno was just staring at her blankly.

After a coupke of minutes, Suno suddenly gasped for air as if he just came from under the water. He groaned as he felt his broken bones.

"Fuck! What the hell?!" Suno said.

"He was in a trance. Someone placed a spell on him." So-Hyun said.

"Who are you? What the fuck am I doing here?" Suno asked.

"Watch your mouth Suno, or I'll do more than just break your bones." Jungkook warned.

Suno flinched as he didn't notice Taehyung and Jungkook at first.

"A-alpha." Suno muttered.

"I'm going to ask you again, Suno. Where is Chang Wook?" Jungkook asked.

"Last time I saw him was at the university, Alpha. He called me, Kai and Sehun to his office and told us to open the gates at the perimeter wall of the campus. And that was actually the last place I remember being at. What exactly happened to me? Where is Kai and Sehun?" Suno asked. 

While he was talking, So-Hyun was just looking at him intently.

"He's telling the truth." So-Hyun told Jungkook and Taehyung and then looked at Suno. "Suno, do you remember someone touching your head or showing you an amulet?"

"No, not that I remember. But, I seem to recall Chang Wook mumbling some words that I don't understand, like some kind of dialect or foreign language." Suno said.

So-Hyun raised her eyebrows and turned to Jungkook.

"Is Chang Wook a hybrid, Jungkook?" So-Hyun asked.

"Not that I know of, but we never met his mother. My uncle said that she died giving birth to Chang Wook." Jungkook said.

"She must've been a witch. Now it all makes sense why he would want Taehyung for himself." So-Hyun said.

"Why? I don't get it." Taehyung said.

"Taehyung, you're the the only omega white wolf and witch hybrid, that we know of. Your pups would be very strong hybrids if you mate with one. I think he wants to build a hybrid pack."

Jungkook's eyes turn red and uttered a low growl. Taehyung immediately took his hand and rubbed it.

"Sshhh, that won't happen, Jungkook. You already marked me. I'm all yours, my alpha. I won't let anyone else touch me." Taehyung said.

"That means he's not just after you now, Taehyung. He would target Jungkook too as he needs to kill him to erase your mark." So-Hyun said.

"I won't let that happen." Jungkook said.

"WE won't let that happen. We will fight him together, Kook. With our shared abilities, we can and we will stop him." Taehyung said.

"Both of you will need to train then. I will help you hone your powers, Taehyung and you two need to practice how to make use of each other's strengths. Jungkook, you should teach my nephew how to defend himself. I won't be surprised if Chang Wook have already gathered some hybrids and from what you told me Taehyung, he has some rogues on his side too, right? This is going to be a tough battle and you two have to prepare yourselves." So-Hyun said.

Jungkook and Taehyung looked at each other with pure adoration and confidence in their eyes

"We've got this, love." Jungkook said.

"I've no doubt about that." Taehyung said as he bopped Jungkook's nose.

"Now, let's go and leave Suno to rest." So-Hyun said.

"Wait. A-alpha, luna, I'm so sorry for causing trouble. I-I was so scared for my family. Chang Wook threatened us saying that he will kill us and our families if we don't follow his orders." Suno said.

"Don't worry, Suno. We will put an end to this." Jungkook said.

"And there's one more important thing I think you should know." Suno said.

"What is it?" Taehyung asked.

"He can shapeshift so he can look like anyone and transform to any animal he wishes to be." Suno said.

"He can what?!" Taehyung gasped.

Now, what? Taehyung's wolf asked.

I'm not going to make him see the light of day if I fucking catch him one more time showing his real face. JK replied.

"Jk has a point. He can be anyone by now. He won't be stupid showing his face again." Jungkook said.

"Leave it all to me then." So-Hyun said, winking at the two before leaving the room.

"What did she mean by that?" Jungkook asked Taehyung.

"I wish I knew." Taehyung said as the two followed her out of the room.
