*Amanda's pov*

I was in daze lost in his eyes which is like a endless desert. Years and years of memories with being in a relationship crashed back to me like I was suddenly hit by a truck. There he stood front of me with those lips that always used tell me how much he loves me, a inch away. Those eyes held so much love that I felt drown in it. I feel like something inside me, yelling at me, but I was so lost in his eyes to notice it, to pay attention to it. His hot breath fanned against my upper lip sending a shiver down my spin. I felt two big hands circling around my waist.

Something is wrong!

I didn't feel that usual warmth when his hands circled around my waist. I didn't feel secure like usual in his embrace. I didn't feel relax and comfortable in his embrace. His powerful scent which engulfed me didn't stirred my desire for him.  I didn't feel that usual warmth inside my heart. I didn't skip a heart beat like usual when ever he get too closer to me like this. That's when I snapped out of it. This is not correct. No! NO THIS IS NOT CORRECT! My inner thoughts yelled at me as the growling of my wolf's became clear to my ears. What the heck am I doing?

His lips were a nail distant from me when I pushed him away,immediately backing away creating a long gap between us. He looked at me with wide eyes, shocked and speechless at my sudden change of moves. One second I was about to give into him and kiss him and the next second I was standing a good distance away from him with seething teeth and clenched fist.

"Amy-" I held my hand up stopping whatever nonsense he was about to splatter. What the heck he was thinking? He already got a mate and unlike us they marked each other completing the bond. And how the heck he can act like this now? After everything he did! What am I to him? A toy? How could he play with my feelings like this?

"Like you said Kris" I started taking deep breath to calm my bubbling anger. "No matter how harder you try, we can't ignore our true feelings!" I said mimicking him. "Our true inner desires." At those words he looked hopeful and his confident came back to life as he took a step forward, but I simply held my hand up again stopping him and taking a step back creating the same distance as before. "And if I know my self correctly what my heart truly desire is not you!" Pang! I could see how my words cut through his heart like a sharp sword. "Did I love you? Yes! Are you special to me? Yes! But do I want you?" I paused to look deeper into my his eyes wanting to send the message clear to his brain. "No!" His shoulders slumped as he looked at me like I just stabbed him. "I moved on Kris. I moved on. I no longer desire you. My heart no longer beat for you!" I said without hesitation even though those word hurt me. Yes those words hurt me, cause still I leisured those old memories with him. Still I am depressed for what happened to our perfect relationship. But...... every word I said now, I meant them. It wasn't a lie. I meant every single letter on those words. Every single letter! He stared at me speechless not knowing how to react and I used that chance to turn around wanting to escape from here before I break down. My heart throbbed. Cause those old happy memories I had with him suffocate my mind. I felt overwhelmed. Right now I want nothing more than to be on his embrace, seeking for his comfort. I want to run into his embrace, to my home, to my Taehyung!

"Then who is your heart desire Amanda?" I stopped dead in my track when those words left his mouth. The tone he used wasn't soft like before. It was hard. Pain and anger mixed with it. The way he said my name made it clear. I turned my head slightly to look at my side wanting to give a clear view of the side of my face to him. The corner of my lip tugged upward. It wasn't a smirk and It wasn't a genuine smile either. It was something balance between those two.

"Isn't the answer obvious?" I said keeping my tone calm and collective before walking away from there, feeling proud about my answer.

*************

Finally it's lunch break. Never in my life I was this anticipate for lunch break. When the bell rand I literally leaped out of the class room Kayla hot behind my trail, chuckling amused at my excitement. Finally I would gotta see him. He has been damn busy with this whole upcoming football game and captain thing that he didn't show up in any morning classes today. But I heard from Jungkook when he last mind linked me that the whole thing is over and a new captain was select for the school team. I didn't bother to ask who it is cause I was so lost in the excitement of finally being able to see him. He said that they would meet us in the lunch table.

I was bouncing on my steps like a over excited puppy. Nothing could hide the obvious excitement I am giving out. We finally came into the view of that familiar table and several heads snapped towards me, but I avoided all the stares as I walked towards our usual table only to see that there is only Jungkook waiting. No sight of my mate. I took the seat in front of him as soon the rest of our group joined in filling the empty seats. Except him. I looked around searching for any sign of him, but he wasn't anywhere to be seen. I raised a one questioning eyebrow at my best friend. Instead of getting a explanation as I expected, I only received a smirk from him. I opened my mouth to snap at him, but before I could I was cut off by the ringing of my own phone. I gave glare to Jungkook before taking the said device out from my pocket only to hold back a squeal from delight. I answered the call without a hesitation as my eyes gleamed with hope. Everyone surrounded me gave me a knowing look and a teasing smile. But I avoided that as I pressed my phone into my ear.

"Can we talk?" That's the first thing I heard from that familiar deep soothing voice. Huh? I nod my head in baffle before realization strike me that he can't see me.

"Sure!" That was the only smart answer my dazed mind could find out.

"In the library!" The line was cut off after that. I sat there confused about what just happened. What the heck was that? It didn't sound like him at all. Sure it was that same familiar voice I can recognized from anywhere deep in my core. Yet it wasn't him. The way he talked was so.... so... so... demanding? captivating? Cool?... Authority? Yes! That's was it. It was booming with authority.

"Girl snapped out of it!" I heard chuckling and saw Jungkook snapping his fingers in front of my face leaning over the table. I scowled at him before standing up as he leaned back on his seat with a teasing smirk. That idiot!

"Guys I have to go. Will join you soon!" I said stepping out from my seat to see them all smirking at me wickedly. A touch of teasing behind those smirks. I just simply rolled my eyes at them before walking away from there towards my destination. Towards him.

What felt like hours but actually few minutes, I finally reached the library. There was only three students and the librarian there. Maybe it's because of the lunch break. I looked around but he wasn't no where in sight. Yet his scent was stronger. So I followed his scent silently being careful to not to gain other's attention. In the very back of the library in between two racks, which was covered with books blocking the view to others, he stood. Leaning against a rack, his bag-back hanged in a one shoulder as other hand held a familiar color jersey. My eyes narrowed immediately seeing that familiar jersey but decide to keep quiet when he looked up meeting my gaze. A bored smile appeared on his face as he stood up properly when I start walking towards him.

I almost chocked on my saliva when I took in his appearance properly. He was wearing a white shirt after washing up and his bangs are still wet, sticking into his forehead, making him look super sexy.

'Daddyyyyyy...!' Milena screamed inside my mind making me to wince mentally at her high pitched voice. I swear my corrupted wolf and this boy would be the death of me one day. 'You love us!' She commented sweetly making me to roll my eyes at that.

"You ate?" He asked breaking me out of my daze. That's when I realized that I am literally standing a foot away from him. We are standing too close to my comfort and a certain wolf is enjoying it to the fullest.

"No!" I shook my head. "We were waiting for you. I promised them that we will join them soon!" I explained which he nodded his head at me. Suddenly he looked down shifting his weight leg to leg nervously while biting a corner of his bottom lip. I had to try my best to hold back my wolf from whistling like a pervert at that gesture. I think these two are partners in crime. Born to make my life harder. "What is it Tae?" He snapped his gaze at me slightly flinching when I broke the silence suddenly.

"I-I am t-the new..." He trailed off as I waited patiently for him to continue. He looked down, shoulders slumping and heaving out a frustrated sigh before looking back at me, taking a deep breath with a determined look. "I am the new captain of the football team!" He let out glancing at my eyes nervously for my reaction. The lines between my eyebrows loosened as I smiled broadly at him.

"Congrats Tae!" I said in a bright tone hopping that whatever made him nervous would go away that seeing me happy for his success. But to my confusion he kept a poker face. "What's wrong?" I asked concerned.

"We have match this Friday!" He said without so much as a sparing me a glance. I simply hummed signaling him to continue. He looked down at the jersey he was holding tightening the grip on it and that's when I realized why he has it. "I got the jersey!" He said slightly raising it to our hip level, showing me it. My throat felt dry when I saw it as few of past memories threatened to show its' presence. But I held it back focusing on his face. He looked up meeting my gaze with a weird unknown look. "Can you wear it on the match?" My breath hitched as I skipped a beat of my heart. A gasped escaped from my mouth before I could stop it.

That jersey isn't simple jersey for me. It is a part my past. Part of my previous relationship. There are so many precious memories bound with it. I know it's not the same jersey. But the identity of it is enough to bring back all those memories I buried deep inside my heart. I let it go wanting to move on. Cause I knew Kris belongs to my past while Taehyung is my future. And that same future is asking me to bring back my past out.

'He isn't!' Milena snapped inside my head. 'He doesn't want to bring back your past memories. What he wants is to create new memories for future. Replace all your past memories with his new memories.' Her voice softened. 'He isn't a replace Eun Ae. He is our mate. Our future and our present. In the future when you looked back to your past it would only be him. His memories. This jersey you would remember has his. The memories you have about your past, he isn't going to replace them. He is going to remove them and fill your heart with his. He is trying to own your heart. Every single corner of it in every single way.' My eyes widened when realization hit me. That's what he is doing. He is filling my every single memories I have about Kris with his own. I used to eat sitting next to Kris, but now I only remember him sitting next to me. I used to train with Kris, but now I only remember training him. Kris used to wait for me in front of the school gate, but now I only remembered him waiting for me. Kris used to help me in studies cause I am dumb when it comes to studies, but now it's him. It's only him. Everything I used to do with Kris is gone. All those memories are vanished as I only remember him on those places. Little by little he is owning every corner of my heart making its' his own kingdom. OMG!

'That's right girl. And he has right for that. He is our other half baby!' Holy shit! Milena chuckled at my dumbness. I swear he is something else. This boy is not innocent. Defiantly not innocent. He is anything but naive and dumb. I broke out of my trance when he cleared his throat. And I had to try my best to hold back my laughter seeing what nervous mess I made out of him. He looked like he was ready to pass out. Drops of sweats ran down his side of forehead to his sharp jawlines as he fumbled with the jersey on his hand without knowing what to do. Cute!

"Okay. I will!" I said with a light heart chuckle causing him to look at me with wide eyes. That gaze of his brighten and he opened his mouth showing his infamous boxy smile which melted my heart. He looks like a five years old kid that just got his long desired favorite toy. "Give it to me!" I extend my hand with a smile earning a eager nod from him. He looks down at his jersey one more time before extending it to me ready to place it on my palm, but he froze in midway. Suddenly I felt the air around him shifted as he narrowed his eyes. The cute grin of his long gone as he gritted his teeth gripping the jersey tighter, clenching it on his grip. I scrunched my face confused at his sudden change of behavior and followed his gaze to look down on my wrist where the henna tattoo my little cousin drew was. Oh! So he is eyeing this.

I opened my mouth looking up to explain to him, but before I could something I didn't expect from him at all happened. He dropped the jersey and his bag-pack to ground, grabbing my wrist and turning our bodies, slamming me to the book rack as he pinned my hands above my head. I swear I heard a very very very law growl escaping from his mouth. My eyes widened. Did he just growled or did I imagined it? I gulped when I met his iris which had darkened to chola black. He clenched his teeth, glancing into my eyes with a murderous glare. That cuteness of his few seconds ago long gone as the one towered over me look like someone totally different

"Who is he?" A voice which didn't sounded like him at all questioned me. Sure it got out from his mouth. But it wasn't his voice. It wasn't no where near to it. This voice held much authority which weakened my knees to jello. If it wasn't for his body that held mine pined against the rack, I would have fell down. Every single strand of hair in my body stood as I felt my body going hot underneath but cold as ice outside. My lungs refused to accept the fresh air my nostrils provided as my brain cells stopped working. It took me few good seconds to realize what that question means.

"M-My c-cousin." I shuttered unable so much as a form a word properly without fumbling from the look he is giving me. Me, Kim Eun Ae, the next alpha of dark shadow pack, the girl who didn't even submit to her own alpha, felt submissive under his intensive gaze for the first time. For the first time my wolf my wolf, the most stubborn one you could ever meet in your life, bowed her head to his dominant voice. A shiver ran down from my spine when he seethed his teeth, hissing at me for my answer.

"You are mine! ONLY MINE!" An other shiver ran down my spine as my wolf whimpered inside my mind totally submitting to the voice. His grips on my wrists tighten as I felt small and vulnerable under him. I didn't felt scared, but I felt submissive. That made me more than confused. How? Maybe is it because he is my mate? But yet he can't make a alpha wolf submit. Even though he is a true-blood, stronger than alphas, he still doesn't have a wolf. Which makes him a human. Only a human. Then how? I snapped out of my trance when he hissed again causing his chest vibrate against mine making my whole body a puddle.

"H-He i-is a a t-to-toddler." I somehow managed to let it out before I loose my sanity under his control. He blinked as he leaned back, those thick brows scrunching to process what I just said. I could particularly see the wheels turning behind that thick skull. The grip he had on me loosened as he took a step back giving some space for air to get between us. I almost collapsed into floor if I wasn't able to hold back myself in the last second. Second by second the darkness of his iris reduced back to his normal color as the lines between those brows disappeared. His mouth formed an 'oh' when he finally registered what I said. And the next second there he stood a step away from me grinning at me like puppy like nothing happened. I gawked openly seeing the change of his behavior within seconds. He step back and bent down to grab his back and the jersey as I still tried to process what just happened.

"I hope you will wear this then!" He said in usual bright tone placing the jersey on my shoulder with a wide innocent smile. And without saying an other word he turned around skipping away from there leaving me utterly dumbfound. What the heck just happened?

************

The day passed like that. Me walking into every class in daze, still dumbfound trying to process what happened with my mate in the library. My friend tried to snap me out of it, but finally gave up not wanting to get white hair sooner than they expected. The one who behind all this confusion and mess stood right next to me all the time silently enjoying my state. He didn't so much as a utter a word. But the look he gave me held amusement. Jungkook caught me staring at Taehyung like he is the world first wonder and tried to tease me. He did, but all his remarks went deaf on my ears as I keep continued my task making that boy feel like invisible to me. poor him! When finally the school end my mate and Jungkook had to stay back for football practice. So the rest of us left together, me still in daze.

What I didn't expect to see when I walked towards my car was to see the next royal beta leaning against it. All the giddiness and sparkles vanished as I neared towards him and they were replaced with that same weird feeling I get when ever he is around me. he wore that same smug smirk when I neared him and stood in front of him proudly which made his smirk widened. I don't know why seeing me not submitting to him make him this amused. he should have been pissed that I, a normal alpha refusing to to submit the royal beta.

"Can we talk?" He asked nonchalantly still leaning against the car with arms folding over his chest making me to wonder what's wrong with everyone and the talking today? I gritted my teeth trying to hold back a growl not wanting to disrespect the royal beta. His presence only make me pissed. I don't know why that. I don't feel insecure or danger around him. Instead a sense of secures surround me. Even though my wolf is stirring, its' still calm. She doesn't hold any hostility towards him. And that's what getting into my nerves. Why am I feeling like that when all he did was smirk and act cocky?

He walked away even without waiting for my answer knowing that I will follow him. And I did. I don't know why, but something about that feeling I get towards him made me trust him. My friends didn't try to stop me this time, cause it was the royal beta. Going against him is not a good news for commoner like us. He stopped under a big tree, a good distance away from the school, but it still was in sight? I stood in front of him patiently waiting for him
