*Amanda pov*

"OPPAAAA..!" I squealed loudly jumping onto his embrace as soon as I saw him standing in outside of the airport to fetch us.

"Whoa! Did you miss me that much?" Jimin asked catching me successfully in his arms. I nodded my head still clinging to his neck. "If I knew it earlier that you would call me oppa when you see me after back a week I would have always disappear for a week and then show up just to hear that word coming out from me." He said with a chuckle. I had never called him oppa even though he is 2 months older than me. It's a very rare occasion that I would called him oppa. I pulled back from the hug and smacked his arm for teasing.

"OUCH! That hurts!"

"You totally ruined the moment dude! She just called you oppa and you just had to open your lousy mouth to ruin it." Jungkook said coming into the view from behind me dragging all our luggage.

"I almost forgot you was there too dude." Jimin mocked punching his shoulder playfully.

"I am not surprised!" Jungkook shrugged. While those two bickered I looked around searching for a familiar face. The face I was yearning to see.

"He is not here! You can see him later!" Jimin said noticing my behavior. I don't no whether it was my imagination or not, but his face darkened suddenly when he talked about Kris. And judging by the look on Jungkook's face I knew he noticed the sudden change of Jimin's mood as well.

It's March. Both me and Jungkook spent our winter vacation in the palace. I don't know why, but out of nowhere the queen invited us three children to spent the vacation with them. Jimin was also there with us, but he returned one week before. I wanted to return back too. Cause first I missed everyone. Specially Kris. It has been two months since I last saw him. And second Kris has been avoiding my calls and messages for past two weeks. It really hurts me, but I think I have an idea why he is doing all this. 

He turned 18 three weeks ago. That means he can sense me as his mate now. And next week I am gonna turn 18 too. So he must be preparing a surprise for me, that's why he must be keeping a distance. Cause every time we get back together after back a fight, our love for each other would increase more. And that's what he is doing now. He is keeping distant to make our reunion epic. I just can't wait to see him. My love! My Kris.

My little thoughts of bubble broke when Jungkook pulled me to our car. Jimin took the front seat while me and Jungkook sat in the back. I leaned into the window while Jungkook placed his head on my shoulder to take a nap. This boy! Soon the concrete buildings vanished as we passed by them and big green trees start to tower our path. I can see the beautiful orange sky as all types of birds flew away to their nests. It's sun set! The nature is so beautiful. Perfect. Just like my life. Perfect and beautiful!

***********

My heart clenched. It hurts. Not only physically, but also mentally. I can hear my own uneven breathing. My heart beat is slowing down. My own tears mingled with his salty tears on my cheeks. His cheek is covered with blood where my bloody hand was placed on. My heart clenched seeing the pain in those eyes. I am the one who caused that pain. I am the reason for those tears. I caused this!

"Please say it! Please say you love me no matter who I am." 

I love you! I wanted to say it, but I don't have enough strength left in my body to form those words. More tears escaped from my eyes knowing that I am too late to utter those words. Why didn't I tell it before? Wasn't all those years with him enough for me to say those three words to him? What held me back from saying those words to him all these years?

"Mum!" My gaze lowered from his eyes when I heard tiny hiccups. There sat near my legs, our four years old child holding his two years old little sister on his lap. Our children! The symbol of our love! Why didn't I see that before? All those years I had a symbol for our love growing in front of my own eyes. Not only one but two. Then why didn't I say him that I love him? WHY?

"Amanda!"

"Amanda...!"

"AMANDA...!" I snapped open my eyes to see two pairs of eyes looking at me worriedly. I blinked to get rid of the blurriness. That's when I felt something wet traveling down my cheeks. I raised my hand to wipe my wet cheeks and realized those wet substances was my tears.

"You had that dream again! Didn't you?" Jungkook concerned voice fanned on my ear and that's when I realized that Jungkook was hugging me side way.

"Mum shouldn't have told you that story about our first lycan and vampire. You got obsessed with that story ever since you heard it and you read almost all the books written about him. Now look what's happening! You are having dreams about them like it's your own story!" Jimin yelled worryingly, but stopped when Jungkook glared at him silently asking him to shut up. And he did. After back few soothing words I finally calmed down and got out from the car. All the pack members that are walking around our three stores pack house beamed and bowed seeing the return of their future alpha. I took a deep breath forgetting everything about the dream and plastered a smile on my face while walking into the pack house. Both Jungkook and Jimin followed behind silently.

I didn't even get a chance to take two steps into my house when I was tackled to the ground by a bone crushing hug as soon as I opened the front door. I heard chuckles and I am sure those two idiots behind me are enjoying the show. Those two would rather enjoy this than helping me to escape from this death grip.

"Bella can't breath!" I chocked out patting her back signaling her to get up. She did. She sat up on top of me with a glare.

"That's mum for you young lady!" She snapped earning more chuckles from others. Dad walked towards us and lifted his wife off of me helping me to my feet.

"Welcome back princess!" I hugged him breathing in his scent to calm my mind. All my worries washed away as soon as I saw both my parents bright faces. We walked into the living room and there was few pack members with our beta and his mate. Jungkook's parents. We all shared a hug and chat. While Jungkook told them about our trip I was busy searching for Kris in the room. Where is he?

"Where is Kris?" I voiced out my thoughts and everyone in the room stilled except me and Jungkook. I narrowed my eyes at their weird behavior.

"He went for hunting Amanda! It's his first hunting!" Uncle Mark, Jungkook's father answered with uneasiness. After we turn eighteen we have to go for hunting with others once a month. But why did they choose the day I return, for hunt out of all other days they can pick?

"How is my sis?" Dad asked out of the blue. Like he is trying to change the topic. Jungkook and I shared a look, but shrugged it off.

"The queen and King sent their greetings for you alpha!" Jungkook answered politely. My parents are close friends with them like a family. They used to live together. My father consider the queen as his own sister. And we are very close with full moon pack too. We used to visit the palace when I was younger. But father got busier and we didn't get much chance to visit them occasionally. The queen was a very kind women. She was friendly and warm. She treated me like her own daughter when I was younger. The key word is 'was'. She isn't that kind women anymore. At least for me. Cause she treated Jungkook and Jimin the same way like she used to be. But when it came to me she acted different. It's not like she treated me rudely or coldly. She acted formal in front of me. She treated me like a guest. Just a guest.

That was the first time I saw her after back 4 years. I last saw her when I was 14 years old. I don't know what changed in that time period to make her act like that towards me. But the king was same. Dominate and intimating. He is the most feared man in our world. After all he is the strongest alpha ever to born in our history. So we all are little cautious around him. The only one he is soft for is his queen. Their love story is the grates love story I had ever heard. Every mother would tell their love story to their pups. The queen is the only one that can tame his beast. The most strongest wolf.

"Baby go upstairs! You must be tired. Take a rest. You have school tomorrow." My mum said squeezing my shoulder. I nodded my head and excused myself to walk to my room. Tomorrow is the first semester of our last year in high school. One more year and I would  be done with school. I would become the alpha after I graduate and I can start my own family with Kris. The thought of him gave butterflies in my stomach. I broke out of my stance when someone wrapped a hand around my shoulder.

"What are you doing here Jungkook?" The said male looked at me with a sheepish smile.

"I am going to crash here tonight!" He answered with a shrug like it's a normal thing for him. Of course it is for him! This boy particularly live in my house. Or more like in my brother's room. I noticed Jimin next to him shook his head following behind us with my luggage.

"You know why don't you guys date? Cause you guys are particularly living together in one room." I suggest mockingly, climbing the stairs.

"Oh please! Even the entire human population wipe out from this earth and he is the only one left, still I wouldn't date him." Jimin said with a eye roll.

"Even though I agree with you, Just know that I am very offended with that statement." Jungkook uttered giving both of us a offending look. "I mean come on, who wouldn't want this perfect muscular body?" He asked pointing at his body. Here goes his boosting!

"Me!" I raised my hand.

"Count me on that too!" Jimin behind me answered as three of us stood in front my room.

"Hey! At least have some respect for your future beta!" Jungkook defended. Yes he is the next beta! Kris refused to become the next beta. And anyone didn't oppose him cause he is gonna be my mate. That's gonna make him the next alpha of our pack. He is gonna rule with me. I groaned mentally when I realized that I am thinking about Kris again. That boy wouldn't stay out of my mind. I really miss him. 

"And I am the brother of your future alpha!" Jimin replied back. Here goes there bickering!

"And I am the soon to be brother-in-law of your future alpha!" Jungkook snapped back. My face heated up as soon as I heard those words and Jungkook chuckled mischievously at my reaction. But both of us wasn't aware of the sudden change of Jimin's mood until a law growl escaped from his mouth with a darken face.

"We will see that!" He snapped and dropped all my luggage to walk away without an other word. Both me and Jungkook stared at his retreating figure with wide eyes.

"What was that for?" Jungkook uttered in daze. That's what I was also thinking. I just shrugged at him. Maybe Jimin got jealous. He often get jealous when I spent too much time with Jungkook. He is scared to loose his sister. My silly brother! I chuckled at the thoughts and bid Jungkook good night before dragging my luggage into my room. My sweet home! I jumped into my bed as soon as it came into my view. Hmmmm.... I missed my bed. My little heaven. I felt my phone vibrating in my pocket and within a blink of an eye I grabbed it hopping that It's a message from Kris. But disappointment washed over me when I noticed that it's a good night message from Kayla. She went to America to spent the vacation with her family, since me and Jungkook also left. I replied to her and collapsed into my bed debating whether to text Kris or not. I finally decided to leave him at least a one message hoping he would reply when he returned from the hunting.

My Love  

I am back Love! Miss you so much. All the best for your first hunting. See you tomorrow. Love you! 

I hope he is fine!

**********

I groaned as the warm sun ray hit my face disturbing my deep slumber. I cursed mentally myself for forgetting to close the curtains last night. The chippers of birds are like an alarm to my ears signaling that it's time to wake up. I peaked open my eyes and noticed that it's 6.30 a.m. School starts at 8. Better get ready. I grabbed my phone to check any messages but frown when I got none. Why didn't he reply? Sending one last longing glance at my inviting bed I loomed towards the bathroom to freshen up and go meet my boyfriend, mentally preparing for a long good speech to him. You better be ready to receive a good scolding from me Kris! 

I got downstairs after freshening up excepting to see my boyfriend in the dinning table waiting for me, but he wasn't there like usual. Neither was Jungkook! I had my breakfast with a sore mood when none answered my questions about Kris. They only said that I would meet him in the school. They all are acting weird. Even mum asked me stay at home and rest telling I must be tired after a long vacation. Seriously? Who would be tired after a break? Jimin offered to drive me since my so called boyfriend wasn't there to give me a ride. I didn't even consider about getting a driving license, cause my boyfriend was always there to offer me a ride.

We rode to the school in silence. Jimin was too gloomy. Is it because of yesterday? But he isn't a one to hold grudge. He said that Jungkook went home earlier to talk to his parents about something important and we would meet him in the school. It was 7.35 a.m. when we finally arrived at school. I frowned for the second time today when I noticed that there was no one waiting for us in the main gate. No Kris, no Jungkook, not even Naeun. Naeun is a new friend of our little gang. When she first transferred to this school two years ago, I was her tour guide. So we became friends and she became a part of our gang. Kayla can't be here cause she is still in the America.

"Where is Kris?" I asked Jimin once I got out from the car and started walking towards the gate following behind him. Everyone stared at me weirdly, but neither uttered a word. What is wrong with them? Is anything changed on me?

"You will see him soon!" He answered with a blank face not sparing me a glance. I so wanna punch him for acting like that way. I hate it when someone disrespect me. I don't no why I have this dominate nature on me. I am not a submissive girl. Not even for my father. Sure I obey his commands, but that is out of respect. And I listen to Kris and bend to his will cause I love him. That's all. Other wise I don't feel submissive for both of them. The only two persons I ever felt submissive over was the king and queen.

'You better teach him to respect us!' My wolf Milena snarled in my mind, not liking the disrespect she just received from my brother.  

"Jungkook! Dude are you okay?" My head snapped towards my side when I heard Jimin's alarmed voice. There I saw Jungkook walking towards us covered in blood. I ran towards him forgetting all my anger.

"Are you alright?" I asked examining his body for any injuries and let out a sigh of relief when I found none.

"I am okay. It isn't my blood!" He answered both of us.

"Then whose?" Jimin asked helping Jungkook to get rid of that white shirt. What is he gonna wear now. Is he planning to walk around half naked? Not anyone would complain though. In fact all the girls would like that idea.

"That boy Taehyung! I found him laying near his locker all beaten up this morning. And I think a vampire had sucked his blood too. He was badly wounded. Poor boy! I took him to the nurse." He answered causally unlike me who was sweating from uneasiness. I don't know why I get uneasy and worried when ever I heard about that boy getting hurt. My wolf act all restless until I figure out he is fine. 

"Is he okay?" I asked concerned but not sounding too worried to make them suspect. The last thing I want is Kris to find out that I worried about him and get us into a fight. Kris has this burning passion to hate Taehyung. So I am not allowed to even think about that boy.

"I think he would be. I licked few of his serious wound to heal him. But he wouldn't show up on school for week I guess." Jungkook answered pulling and extra white t-shirt he kept on his bag and wearing it cutting off the perfect show of his six abs for his fan girls. Kayla would be so mad if she was here right now. I can imagine her lecturing Jungkook about manners, just to keep him away from other girls prying eyes.

"But which scumbag dared to suck his blood? There are humans around! And how could someone suck his blood knowing that he is also a supernatural creature?" Jimin snapped angrily.

"He doesn't have a wolf Jimini! I think one of his bullies took advantage of his weakness and used him for their blood thirst." Jungkook muttered sounding irritated over who ever did that to Taehyung.  

Suddenly my heart beat increased when I caught that familiar scent. My favorite scent. The scent of coconut and honey! I jerked my head up and searched for his face with hopeful eyes. I can't smell his scent much stronger cause I am not 18 yet, but he can. But to him, my scent would be the most intoxicating scent since I am his mate. My eyes were glinting with hope when I searched for his face. And a bright smile broke into my face when I noticed him standing few steps away from me, wearing his normal black attire, clutching his bag over his shoulder from one hand and an other one in his jean pocket. All the anger I had towards him and all the speeches I mentally prepared for him was long forgotten as I ran towards his with a wide grin, that I am sure put my whole tooth set in display.

He dropped his bag to the floor when I threw my body on to him wrapping both my hands around his neck and burring my face into the crock of his neck. But like usual I didn't feel those strong arms wrapped around my waist or the spinning he would give me when I throw myself onto him.  

"I missed you!" I mumbled into his neck and buried my face even deeper into his neck inhaling his scent. A frown appeared on my face when I caught his scent closely. It was mixed with an other scent. I pulled away and looked at him with a scrunch on my face. His face wasn't bright. It looked troubled, nervous and almost like guilty. I scowled at him when he said nothing. My gaze slowly traveled to his neck where I caught an other scent mixed with when he avoid my eye contact.

My breath hitched. The whole world stopped for me. I felt my heart tightening inside. My wolf backed away in my mind hiding her tail between her legs. The tight grip I had around his neck loosened and I took a step back in daze with wide eyes. I forgot how to breath. A huge lump on my throat is weighting down my saliva. My lips felt dry.

"Baby!" A annoying squeal got his attention from the floor he was staring at and I saw a blond girl wrapping her hand around his biceps. A smile broke onto his face when he glanced at her and it soon vanished when he saw my almost tear filled wide eyes. I looked at both of them trying to figure out the thing that my mind refusing to accept. And once again I gathered all my courage to look at his neck where the explanation to all of this sat. my heart shattered into million pieces when I witnessed that. There was it on his neck a dark tattoo or more like a mark. A mark of an other wolf. And finally my mind accepted that.

He is marked!
