Taehyung woke up and found himself in the middle of a sunflower field. He stood up and looked around and saw a man and a woman sitting on a bench nearby. The woman's head was resting on the man's shoulder while the man had his arm around her. The couple faced each other and after awhile the two were laughing and looked very happy.
Taehyung slowly walked towards them, careful not to make a sound so that the two won't get startled. When he was just a few meters away, the woman turned her head and looked at Taehyung. She smiled at him and gestured for him to come closer. The man looked at Taehyung as well and just like the woman, gave the omega a big smile.
"H-hello. I'm sorry to intrude, but where am I?" Taehyung asked.
"You travelled back in time...accidentally." The woman said.
"I time-travelled? I can do that too?" Taehyung asked.
"Of course you can. You are after all, my son. You can do anything as long as you put your mind to it." The man said.
"S-son? Are you my biological parents? Wait. You've passed on. Does it mean that I'm in heaven now? Did I die?" Taehyung said as he gasped and covered his mouth.
"No, silly. You just accidentally entered the wrong portal when you were going back to your body. But, I have to say that I'm very happy to see you all grown up and very beautiful." Taehyung's mother, Ji-Won said.
"Of course he's beautiful, you're his mother." Taehyung's dad, Hyun Bin said.
"C-can I hug both of you?" Taehyung asked.
"We'd love that, come here, Taeh." Ji-Won said as she made room for Taehyung to sit in between them.
As soon as he sat down, the two hugged and Hyung Bin hugged the two.
Taehyung's eyes welled up with tears as he tightened his hug more.
"We're always watching over you, Taehyung and we're so proud of how you've become. Always remember that we love you so much." Ji-Won said.
"It's time for you to go back, son. You can't stay here too long as your body gets weak when you use your abilites." Hyun Bin said.
Taehyung pulled away.
"Before I go, can I ask you a question?"
"Of course, my son. What is it?" Ji-Won asked as he held Taehyung's hand.
"A-appa, earlier you said that I have these abilities because I'm your son. Does it mean that you have it too? Did I get them from you?" Taehyung asked.
"Yes. Everyone thought I was a werewolf, Taehyung. But, I'm a wizard. One of my abilites is shape shifting that's why I can turn myself into a werewolf. I had to do it to stay close to your eomma. I know that your eomma Jin told you what happened to us. And, I hope that you won't think bad of us as we went against the mate bond.
I love your eomma so much that's why I saved her from his evil mate who did nothing but abuse her. We ran away, but, unfortunately they caught us and killed is both. We were lucky that our witch goddess Hecate helped me and your eomma. And you were saved. Now look at you, you're blessed with so much power, my son."
"Is it really a blessing? It drains me appa. Isn't there a way to use my powers without me getting weak?" Taehyung asked.
"You have lunar powers, son. That means, your magic and your energy source is the moon. Your powers are very strong especially during the night and on a full moon. If you use them when the moon is up, your body won't be that affected. However, using it during daytime is a different story." Ji-Won said.
"Hmmm, so getting weak when I use my powers during day time is inevitable?" Taehyung asked to confirm if he understood what his mother said.
"It won't be for long." Hyun Bin said, smiling at Taehyung.
"What do you mean, appa?" Taehyung asked.
"When you eventually gain your mate's strength, you won't have to worry about your body getting worn out." Hyun Bin explained.
"What? How is that possible?" Taehyung asked.
"When you two have finally mated and marked each other, not only would your heart and souls be connected, but you would augment each others abilities as well. While you make him mentally tenacious, you become physically stronger." Hyun Bin said.
"M-mated and m-marked?" Taehyung gasped as he blushed.
"No need to be nervous and embarassed, Taehyung. You're mates, and one day your alpha will have his rut and you, your heat, and you'd crave for each other. That's just natural." Ji-Won said as she cupped her son's cheeks. "Our baby's really all grown-up now Binnie. I knew I made the right choice when I decided on making Jin your eomma. He raised you well. Now, it's time for you to go back, Taehyung."
"I will visit you again, eomma, appa." Taehyung said.
"Remember, Taehyung, we are always watching over you." Hyun Bin said.
Taehyung's eyes flew open as he gasped for air. He looked around the room and realized that he was at the university clinic.
"Taehyung!" Jungkook said, rushing to his luna's side and hugging him tight. "I was so worried about you."
"I'm fine, Kook. I met my parents." Taehyung said.
"Huh?"
"I met them, Kook. I don't know if it was a dream, but it felt so real. They said that I entered the wrong portal and travelled back in time and found them ." Taehyung said and Jungkook just looked at him, not knowing what to say.
"You must think I'm crazy." Taehyung said.
"No. I think your abilities are out of this world. But, I'm a bit bothered about how it affects you everytime you use it." Jungkook said.
Should I tell him? Taehyung pondered.
"Tell me what?" Jungkook asked, trying hard not to smile.
"How do I turn off this mindlink thing?" Taehyung asked.
"It's funny you're asking me that question when you can concentrate enough to save a boy from an accident or be in two places at one time. Turning mindlinks on or off works the same way. You just have to focus on blocking your thoughts when you don't want them heard and opening it up when you want the other way around. Try it." Jungkook said.
Taehyung went silent and tried to focus.
I'm glad nothing bad happened to you. I was so scared of the thought of you getting hurt or losing you. I don't think my heart can take it if something happened to you.
Jungkook stared for a few seconds then smiled.
"Practice makes perfect, Taeh." Jungkook said and Taehyung's cheeks turned red.
"You heard it?!" Taehyung asked.
"Every word." Jungkook said before leaning forward and taking Taeh in his arms. He hugged Taehyung tightly and the latter hugged back.
"Don't worry Taeh. Nothing bad will happen to me. I've been training and preparing my whole life and have vowed to be a strong alpha to protect my people and those closest to my heart. I won't let anything happen to me because I want to stay true to that promise, especially now that I've found you. I will keep myself safe to keep you safe. Remember that." Jungkook said.
The two stayed that way until the door of the clinic opened. taehyung's siblings and Jungkook's friends came in.
"Oppa / Hyung!" Yoo Jung and Minkyu simultaneously said.
The mates pulled away from each other.
"Sorry to ruin the moment. How are you hyung? I'm so sorry I wasn't there to help you." Minkyu said.
"It's alright Minkyu. We're all fine." Taehyung said. "I guess I missed classes again, huh?" He asked.
"No, you didn't. Classes were called off because of what happened. For everyone's safety, they had students go home." Yoo Jung said.
"I still don't understand how rogues were able to breach the campus' border security. I thought it was quite tight." Yoongi said.
"It is. The only way that could have possibly happened is if someone let them through." Jungkook said.
"So you think it's someone from the inside, alpha?" Jimin asked.
"I don't just think. I KNOW for a fact that it is someone from the inside." Jungkook said.
"Yoo Jung, tell Jungkook about Prof. Lee." Hoseok said.
"Professor who?" Jungkook asked with furrowed brows. Being part of the student council, he knew each and every faculty member in the university.
"Professor Lee Hanee from our literature class. She's a witch." Yoo Jung said.
"There's no one in the faculty with that name and definitely no witch for that matter." Jungkook said.
"But, she even gave her card." Taehyung said as he reached inside his jacket pocket to get it. But, when he looked at it, the card was blank.
"What the hell? There's nothing written on it. I swear it wasn't blank when she handed it to me." Taehyung said.
"Did she say anything to you?" Jungkook asked.
"She said she can teach and guide me with my powers." Taehyung said.
"She might be sizing you up, Oppa. I think she doesn't know the extent of what you can do and that's why she wants to get to know you more. Remember the first day of classes when she tested you?" Yoo Jung said.
"There might be more of them here so we have to keep our eyes and ears open." Hoseok said.
"Well, since we're all here already, I might as well tell you all while the doctor is out. The university's not the only place they've infiltrated. The pack too. Someone's been monitoring Taehyung and whoever it is knows what's been happening inside the pack." Jungkook said.
"How can that be? We've been very careful and our pack is well known for being the safest and most secure one amongst the rest of the neighboring packs." Yoongi said.
"That only means one thing." Bogum began saying, "The perpetrators have been residing among us haven't they, alpha?" Bogum asked.
"Unfortunately, yes. But, I've already made my move. Alpha Namjoon and the rest of the soldiers from the Cypher pack are with us on this." Jungkook said.
"Hold on. Why does it have to be just them? Why not involve Snow Flower soldiers? Does Alpha Ji-Cheol know about this? Jungkook, what's happening?" Yoongi asked, confused at the whole situation.
"I don't think he is, but his judgement is clouded. As it is, he's already quite partial to the suspect." Jungkook said as he gave Yoongi a knowing look.
"So it's —"
Before Yoongi could even finish his sentence, Jungkook's phone rang and he immediately answered it after seeing who was calling him.
J: Hello, appa?
??: I hate to disappoint you, but he can't get to the phone right now.
Jungkook's eyes suddenly turned red after hearing what the caller said.
J: Who is this? Where's my appa?! (Jungkook growled)
??: Oh don't worry Jungkook he's still alive. We haven't really hurt him....yet.
J: What the fuck do you want?!
??: Free the rogues you've captured at the Kim's property and hand over the omega hybrid. Do that and you will get your appa back in one piece.
J: (laughing darkly) I'm afraid I can't do that.
??: Then say goodbye to your appa.
A piercing scream was heard from the background.
??: You hear that? That's your dear father losing one finger.
J: Big mistake.
Jungkook smirked, despite being livid at the moment.
Get him out of there now! Bring the one on the phone back to the pack and capture Snow Flower members you'd find there. Jungkook mindlinked all the soldiers he asked Jin Young to follow his appa.
While still on the phone, Jungkook heard screams from the other end of the line and the caller cursed.
The rogues were caught off guard as soldiers from the Cyber Pack sent by Jinyoung to follow his father suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
FLASHBACK AN HOUR AGO
Jungkook was at the clinic watching Taehyung when he got a call from Jinyoung.
J: Jinyoung?
JY: Alpha, the soldiers have caught up with your appa. He's still at the council's headquarters.
J: Good. Please tell them to watch him from afar. I don't want him to find out that he's being followed.
JY: There's one more thing.
J: What is it?
JY: They saw Kai and his friends enter the council building too.
J: Tell them to keep an eye on those three too.
JY: Okay, alpha. How is Taehyung?
J: Still sleeping.
JY: Please keep me posted on his condition. Alpha Namjoon and Luna Jin don't know yet about what happened to Taehyung,
J: Where are they?
JY: Alpha Namjoon's currently with the Cyber Pack soldiers and Luna Jin is with your eomma at the pack house.
J: Okay, hyung. Just please tell them when you get a chance but also not to worry as Taehyung's out of danger. The doctor said he just needs a bit more time to recuperate.
JY: Thank you for watching over my nephew, alpha.
J: You're welcome, hyung.
BACK TO PRESENT TIME
Jungkook ended the call with the unknown rogue as he trusts that the Cyber Pack soldiers would be able to deliver on his command.
"Jungkook, what happened?!" Yoongi worriedly asked as the others looked at Jungkook, anxious as well.
"We have to go back to the pack now. Rogues abducted oppa, he's hurt, but our soldiers have him already. They should be back in no time." Jungkook said.
Everyone stood up and was about to leave when Taehyung spoke.
"Was it because of me?" Taehyung asked.
"Taeh, he's safe now, okay?" Jungkook said.
"Answer me, Kook. Was he taken because of me?" Taehyung asked.
Jungkook sighed. "They wanted a trade…asked me to release the rogues and turn you over to them in exchange for appa's safety."
Taehyung looked down at his feet.
"Hey, I know what you're thinking Taeh. It's not yout fault okay?" Jungkook said as he held Taehyung's hand.
Taehyung just nodded and silently walked with them.
It's time to put an end to this. Taehyung thought.
Taehyung, don't do something stupid. Tannie said.
It would be more stupid if I just do nothing and watch others get hurt because of me.
And, if something happens to you, you think they won't suffer? Think about that, Taehyung. Think twice, even thrice before you do anything!
I won't let anything happen to me, Tannie. If it's me that they want, then I will make them regret even wanting me with them in the first place.
I don't like the sound of this.
You really don't have a choice.
I'm telling JK.
Oh no you're not, because finally I got the hang of this mindlink thing.
Taehyung's purple eyes glowed for a brief second, followed by a smirk on his face.
Yoo Jung saw it and she knew that Taehyung was up to something and she made a mental note to talk to him about it when they get back.
"You okay, Taeh?" Jungkook asked as he gently squeezed the omega's hand.
"Yes, everything's just peachy." He said, throwing Jungkook a fake smile. Yoo Jung heard him.
Yup, He's definitely up to something.
