"hey, tae, there's someone I'd like you to meet. come with me?" jeongguk says, holding the said male's hand and pulling out of the room.

"why? what's wrong? what happened?" taehyung asks, his feet moving on their own accord but his upper body leaning backwards.

jeongguk pauses and turns to face taehyung, "nothing's wrong. i just sad there's someone I'd like you to meet. if that's okay with you."

taehyung nods and walks, sparks flying through his system. the urge to fall into jeongguk's arms strong and almost suffocating.

taehyung shakes his head, organizing his thoughts. he licks his chapped lips and focuses on where they were headed.

ultimately, his thoughts won again. jungkook's larger hand, wrapped around his forearm.

his heart began to thump widely in his chest. what was this feeling? there's no way he could b falling for jeongguk. so what of they were mates? he felt everything because of their bond.

he nods to himself, stopping, his head hitting his mate's shoulder as jeongguk had paused abruptly.

"oh tae! are you okay?" jeongguk asks, turning and placing his hands on taehyung's cheeks, scanning for injuries or bruises.

taehyung stares up at the other male, his breath caught in his throat. the alpha's eyes had flashed a shade of golden as his eyebrows furrowed together in concern.

taehyung swallows harshly, blinking to chase the tears that were starting to gather in his eyes. there was nothing as beautiful as jeongguk. and jungkook.

their eyes were almost a dark shade of black with light almost invisible golden rims around them. if he hadn't been with them for so long and gotten close, he wouldn't have noticed it.

he could feel his heart rate pick up once again. everything at that moment felt so overwhelming at that moment. the sparks shooting up and down his spine that he could basically feel in every part of his body, jungkook's calloused hands on his face and his beautiful orbs staring him down.

he could only lean closer. closer to jeongguk's face. there was no restraint. he couldn't stop himself. he could feel jeongguk's hot breath fanning his face as he drew closer.

"alpha!" a male voice called out. taehyung jumps away from his mate, a fluttering feeling of being caught filling his chest. his cheeks coat a dark shade of red. jeongguk clears his throat, wrapping an arm around taehyung's waist, who freezes, eyes wide.

"sorry to have disturbed. i didn't mean to interrupt. i was just shocked. I'll leave you two to it." the male says reaching for the doorknob and twisting.

"i actually came to see you." jeongguk says, making the male pause, "this is my mate. taehyung. you haven't met him right?"

"i know he's your mate. i could sense it. it's also pretty obvious from..." the stranger clears his throat, "the acts you were commiting in front of my door." the man says, folding his arms.

"oh no!" taehyung shrieks, waving his arms frantically, "there was nothing going on. nothing like you were thinking."

"what was i thinking?" the male hummed, "it's nothing wrong if you guys wanted to kiss. you're mates. that's totally normal."

"we didn't want to kiss. that's what. nothing happened." taehyung mumbled. jeongguk squeezes his waist gently.

"sure. whatever you say. i sense some kind of energy between the both of you. your bond isn't very strong like it should be. you both come inside and I'll look into it." the man says, pushing his door open and making way for his guests to slide in.

"tae, this is daegel. he's our pack seer or psychic. something along those lines." jeongguk explains, his hand finally falling off of taehyung's waist.

taehyung couldn't explain the coldness he felt the next moment. jeongguk's hands had a lot of warmth. it was comforting that his hand had been on his waist the whole time. why did he even deny that something was about to happen? this was messed up.

"the energy is super strong. are you guys in a fight? where's your twin? i feel you both have the same mate. he should be here for this." the man said, clearing his throat and walking up to a mirror. he looks into the mirror.

"you can go on. I'll let him know the details." jeongguk suggests, walking closer to daegel. the man nods, chuckling.

"there's nothing special to this mirror. relax. i just wanted to check out my hair." he says, "but, the three of you. you and your mate and your twin and his mate which is your mate, haven't connected. your spirits keep hovering close to each other. right now, you're three parallel lines that refuse to meet. why is that?" daegel asks, cocking his head to the side.

"what do you mean?" jeongguk asks.

"three parallel lines," he demonstrates, pointing three spots in the air horizontally, "refusing to meet. your spirits. there's a bond connecting you all but it's like a thin line. it could break if anyone strays farther away and the one in the middle..." he trails, staring at taehyung, "would be shattered if the other two are gone." he stalks towards taehyung. "you my dear, are the one in the middle."

taehyung gasps, "me? in the middle? that's impossible. i'm not in the middle. check again."

daegel chuckles, shaking his head, "deny it all you want sugar. so alpha, what's up? why'd you come to see me?" he asks, leaning on a random table.

"i'm jeongguk, daegel."

"fine. jeongguk. why'd you want to see me? you and jungkook? where is he anyway?"

"we need answers. taehyung here is wondering why he's our mate. why he's able to conceive and have children when he's a regular male-"

"uh-uh. not regular." daegel cuts off.

"huh? what do you mean not regular? I'm regular." taehyung humphs, his eyebrows furrowed in curiosity.

daegel only chuckles again, "where's jungkook?" he questions, again.

"you can continue either way. I'll keep him posted. he'll be here soon." jeongguk says, stealing a glance at taehyung. he could feel taehyung's worry.

"he's your mate because he's been chosen by the moon goddess. it's that simple." the psychic says, picking up a pair of dice-like crystals and shaking them in his fist.

"no explanations whatsoever? no extra information?" taehyung asks, bewildered.

"we do not question the will of the moon goddess." daegel says, shaking his head. he begins to shake the crystals in two hands. he closes his eyes for maximum concentration. "the moon goddess has a will. whatever she sees fit, she'll do. for the benefit of us all. it's an insult to her if you're muddling with her gift which in this case, us your bond." 

the mates could only stand and listen as the seer spoke, questions on their tongues. all of this that daegel was saying only brought more questions to their minds.

"how was i able to get pregnant? I'm no omega. I'm no female either. i didn't just have one baby. i had eight! none of them are human either."

"how did i and jungkook get five other girls pregnant? i don't remember how that came to be."

"there's a rat in your house. very big rat. very obvious. that tiny but big rat will be able to eat your house down. that rat is equally not very easy to sight. that rat has the answer to your questions jeongguk." daegel says, squeezing his eyes shut.

"taehyung." he calls out, squeezing the crystals in one hand, groaning immediately after and opening his eyes, "there's something i can't quite place my finger on yet about you. what is it?" he asks, humming and tapping his chin with his other hand.

he gasps, clutching his head as a clutter of words fall from his head.

"I'm fine. don't worry." he chuckles, leaning on a chair and finally, sitting on it, "i don't know how you'll single out your rat jeongguk. be extra cautious. that's all." he says, rising from the chair and going back to the mirror, crystals still in hand.

taehyung falls to one of the couches, crossing his legs. all the "wh" questions flying through his mind.

"remember taehyung, we can't question the moon goddess. you might not have been a werewolf all your life but now you're in our world, you have to move with it." daegel says, still shaking the crystal dice in his hand.

"what else is there? to mention?" daegel hums, staring back at the mirror, he groans again, "you're changing taehyung. in ways you realize and ways you don't. i can't tell you everything but what i see i tell you and i can only say you're changing. if it's evil, that's you. if it's good, that's you. if it's human, that's you. if it's bad, that's you." daegel says shaking the dice faster.

jeongguk stares at taehyung. what did all of these mean? how would they begin to decipher what the psychic was saying? who was the rat he had to deal with? nothing was adding up but he was going to try to figure out the equation.

"i see a bright light. dangerous. bright. good. bright. very bright around you taehyung. whoever witnesses that light shall not remain the same. i can't tell if it's good or evil— ah!" he shrieks, falling to his knees, "too bright–" the crystals fall out of his hand as his eyes shoot open.

"daegel!" jeongguk yells, running to the seer's side and falling to his knees. "what's wrong?! what do i do?! how do I help?" he asks, his hands getting clammy and shaking on his sides.

daegel says nothing, falling to the group, his mouth and eyes slightly open. he lies next to his crystals, seeming to have lost consciousness. he only remained limp on the ground.

the door to the house falls open and jungkook hurries inside, eyes searching the room frantically as the panicked tension had taken over the room.

"get tae out of here! get me mark!" jeongguk barks, lifting the soothsayer off of the ground and carrying him out of the room.

taehyung stares at the man's limp body, fear racking through his system. what was wrong with him to have made the seer this way? he could only watch while being pulled away from the house as jeongguk ran from the building, looking for help.

so he was the cause?
