Taehyung is crying hysterically, while chewing his pillow, biting it's flashes. It's been an hour, him waking up from his nape. But no one is visiting him. Not even his Kookie. Even he has no idea where he is, the door is locked. Now he feels like jeongguk left him, That's why he is angry. More like angriest.

The whole room is a mess. Blankets, cuisines are shattered all over the floor. The boy is chewing his pillow, pulling out those cottons and throws it to the air, while mumbling incoherent words.

"Kookie!!!" He shouted again. The very smell of wolves are still alive on his nostrils. He already concepts that he is inside of any wolf pack surrounded by wolves. But his Kookie? Did his Kookie brought him? But why? He is not happy. He can never be happy here between those thick walls. How could his Kookie betray him.

Tae!!!

A very unfamiliar voice interrupted the boy. He looks around finding it's owner.

Tae, I am your Wolfie. I am inside you.

"Wolfie?" Taehyung asked confused.

Yes, Tae. I will give you all the memories back to recognise me, to know what is happening. But not now Tae, I am sorry please forgive me. I am obliged to myself, I can't hurt you. I can't let you feel betrayed. I can't let you gone through the same heart pain, I am going and-

"Wolfie! Are you my friend?" Taehyung cut the other off. Because he was not understanding a little bit of thing.

Yes, yes, we are friends, soulmates, brothers whatever you want us to call Tae.

Taehyung giggled getting a new friend.

"But, Wolfie, Kookie left me!" Taehyung mumbled sadly.

Kookie can never left us, Tae, he love us,-

"NO KOOKIE ONLY LOVE ME."

Ahhhhh, you almost startled me.

"Kookie. Is. Mine. Phew."

Aishhhh, okay fine you own. Just wanted to know you okay? I am Sorry I don't think I am strong enough anymore-

"No, I no fine." Taehyung pouted.

"Tae, D-o you feel our mate near us?"

"Mate? Kookie is mate. But Kookie bad." Taehyung shouted throwing away the pillow. Then again attacks an another pillow.

"Tae, listen-

Taehyung'wolf can say anything more, Got interrupted by sudden knock. So he thought to, not talk to the other now.

"Luna! You woke up!" A maid asked coming in. But immediately got hit by flying cottons all over the room. There were clay pots shattered on the floor, cloths are too joining them, sofa pillows are not in their place. And lastly the Living creature, AKA their Luna is sitting between all these mess while chewing a pillow. The maid's eye balls are about to pop out looking at the scene.

Taehyung just pouted more, angrily sniffing her smell. She is obviously a beta girl.

"Wolfie? Wolfie? You left me too Wolfie? Bad Wolfie!!!! Very bad. Phew." Taehyung mumbled sadly.

"Oh no. What happened? Are you okay Luna?" The maid runs towards the male and check on him head to toe.

"I want Kookie." He grumbled retreating himself.

"Kookie? Forgive me Luna, But what is Kookie?" She apologized.

"I WANT KOOKIE! HE LEFT ME! HE BAD! I WANT HIM NOW, NOW, NOW. NOWWEEEEEEE.."

Kookie? Who can be Kookie? Hyungsik, Kookie. Sik- siku- suki-Kookie....
A lot of calculations going on inside of her brain. Then finally she concepts.

"Are you talking about our Alpha, Luna?"

"Alpha?"

"Yes, Our Alpha, Your mate?"

"Mate? KOOKIE IS MY MATE." Taehyung shouted giggling. The maid is now let out a soft chukle,

"I am going to call our Alpha, please wait until I come."

"Nuuuuu... No Kookie tell. I mad." Taehyung protests.

______________________________

At the same time:

"Mother, I ca-n't! I can't.... I can't b-ear this pain anym-ore. I am tired. Aaaaaahhhhhhhhh."
Hyungsik is hysterically crying, infront of his mother. He is now kneeling down to his space clutching his chest.

The pain of living too near to his wolf yet without any connection, is shaking his hollow self to his core. His wolf is howling out of sorrow. They both are feeling useless at this moment. Their own mate is rejecting the idea of getting them, accepting them. And this is too much to bear for his fragile heart.

Whereas Park Hyuna is too devastated. More devastated becouse she is only capable of looking at her son' desperate self, she can't do anything. She can't even touch her own son, console him to sleep. She can't rub his back by chanting lullaby. She is helpless. A mother is helpless.

"I can't mother, I can't. I w-ant to die. I - I why me? WHY ME????"

"Alpha-" Hyuna about to approach her son but got interrupted by.

"DON'T.
DON'T CALL ME ALPHA MOTHER. I AM NOT AN ALPHA TO YOU, TO ANYONE. I DON'T DESERVE TO BE CALLED AS ALPHA. I FAILED IN MANY THINGS. I FAILED TO EVEN PROTECT MY SELF, HOW WILL I PROTECT THE PACK? I FAILED........I fail-ed as a ma-te. I DON'T WANT YOUR FAKE PITY, THE TRUTH IS THAT YOU NEVER CARED AC-TUALLY. NO ONE CARES, I AM ALONE."

"So-n." Hyuna kneeled in front of him Listening to all. She is crying silently. Her son is right. She is a bad mother. If she were anyhow good, then she would definitely find any other way to console her son. He is right. She is an undeserving mother.

"It's bee-n more then twe-lve hours mother, But my mate? My mate did-n't even recog-nise my smell. My own mate didn't mind linked me. V (Taehyung' wolf name) is not waking up. He he is m-om... He Is not pres-ent with me. The person who was made for m-e already have someone-

"No." Hyuna protests with a straight face.
"This is wrong. Your mate is being always yours. Moon goddess can never betray you like this. Luna is yours, meeting that human boy, falling for him was just his past. And everyone have their pasts. The important thing is that your future is on your own hand son. Your mate is here with you. Talk to him son. Give him your love, give him some time to adjust. He never been to wolf worlds. He doesn't know anything about wolves, that's why he is not feeling us, feeling your bond. Taehyung will need time to understand the bond. Give him time."

"B-ut V mother, V- he,

"Taehyung' wolf is not okay son. His wolf is getting weaker day by day. It feels like the wolf is punishing himself by not getting into his own form."

"NO... NO.... My MATE IS HEALTHY MOTHER." Hyungsik shouted.

"He is not healthy son. We can't smell is scent. He is fading. His scent is fading. You.... Your mate is in pain just
Like you too....

"Mot-her... He loves th-at human more then him-self. This is why-

"This is wrong, son This is wrong. Think about yourself. In this world THAT HUMAN WOULD GET ANYONE, BUT NOT YOU. YOU ARE HIS AND HE IS YOURS. BE SELFISH FOR SOMETIME."

"I- can't mother. I ca-n't hurt my ma-te-

"Coward." Hyuna stands up from her kneeling posture while gritting her teeth. Hyungsik snaps his head towards the woman.

"The truth is that, You are a coward son. You are just like your father. He were never happy with me, He was just forced by this bond between us. When the truth is that his heart had never beat for me, but for someone particular. I WAS READY TO REJECT HIM. I WAS READY TO LET HIM GO FOR HIS OWN HAPPINESS. BUT HE?
scoff* coward. Couldn't think about his own happiness. Because of what!!! He had a reputation? His father had reputation?

But I will not force you to do anything. Just to let you know, before you take a step just remember,
You have a chance, you have your mate with you. You can make everything right. But will you? "

With a sigh the woman left the room.

"Then Kookie gave me poppo. Phew." Taehyung completed his long story to the maid. She just randomly thought to visit their Luna but got stuck with the stories.

"Phew, Now Kookie is gone. I am alone. Bad Ko-okie. I no sorry ko-okie. I no dir-ty, I no ug-ly, Kookie is ug-ly." Taehyung sobbed.

The maid suddenly panicked looking at their Luna's sudden change of behaviour. He was all good a few minutes ago though.

"L-una!"

Taehyung could shout anymore, a strong smell of levender hits his nostrils, almost changing his eye colours to violet. He immediately snaps his head towards the entrance door.

The maid too get confused and followed the boy's eyes towards the door. But got to see nothing. Then within a minute a knock startled her. She immediately walks towards the door only to see their Alpha is standing there with a straight face. His hands were folding backward. Behind him there were guards.

"Alpha!"

"Did he eat?" Hyungsik asked in a straight face not looking at her.

"N-o- He is crying and looking for you?"

Hyungsik snaps his head towards the maid listening to that.

"Looki-ng for m-me?" Pure admiration can be seen in his eyes.

"Yes, Y-ou.-

"Kookieeeeee?" Taehyung shouts from inside.

Hyungsik gritted his teeth listening to the Kookie. He signalled the maid to leave
And she obliged. Leaving his breath, he walks in locking the door behind.

Taehyung is sitting on his bed, facing the wall with hanging head.

"No talk. I am mad. Phew." Taehyung protested not even looking at the male.

As for Hyungsik, he was more then sad. He can't even smell his own mate's scent nor his mate can smell his one (as he thought), although they are standing so close together. Is what punishing him more.

There is nothing wrong in trying right?
I don't want to feel disappointed later by thinking that I didn't even make any efforts to our bond. I am sorry Jeongguk. But from my side I will pour my everything to make this connection work. I am sorry but I need him more then you do. I am sorry V, but you are mine. And I am yours. We are tied. And this is our destiny.
