"Cause I was there with you in your room that night," Jungkook said those words without thinking twice. He clicked his tongue after he realized that he had said something which he shouldn't have said. He left Tae's elbow and turned away from the shocked omega.

Tae's eyes widened in surprise at Jungkook's revelation. His mind raced to process the implications of Jungkook's statement. He struggled to find words, his heart pounding in his chest.

"You were... there?" Tae managed to utter, his voice barely above a whisper

Jungkook struggled not to say more about the matter while Lycus teased him.

"Cat got your tongue." Lycus teased. Jungkook controlled himself not to burst at his wolf.

Tae's gaze remained fixed on Jungkook, a mix of surprise, confusion, and curiosity still evident in his eyes. He awaited an explanation, hoping that Jungkook would offer some clarity to the mysterious revelation.

Jungkook stared off pondering what to answer the other. He couldn't say that he lied when it is the truth. The omega walked in front of him to face the alpha.

"Alpha..." His meek voice called out taking Jungkook off guard. Jungkook felt a rush of adrenaline as Tae's voice called out to him, breaking through his conflicted thoughts. He turned to face the omega.

Without any more waiting, he took a step back, distancing himself from Tae. Tae watched his actions in confusion but his eyes widened more when he saw Jungkook take a swift turn and march inside the pack house.

"Alpha..." Tae called out, "Alpha wait!!!" He ran behind the alpha but Jungkook was quick enough to leave there.

Tae's voice called out desperately, pleading for Jungkook to wait. But the alpha couldn't bring himself to stop. He needed time to gather his thoughts, to sort through the chaos within him. He quickened his pace, leaving Tae behind as he disappeared into the pack house.

Inside the safety of his room, Jungkook collapsed onto his bed, his mind consumed by a whirlwind of emotions. He ran his hands through his hair, frustration, and regret etched on his face. He knew he couldn't leave Tae hanging, but he also couldn't find the right words to explain himself.

Jungkook POV

Inside the safety of my room, I couldn't escape the chaos that engulfed my mind. Frustration and regret gnawed at my conscience as I collapsed onto my bed, feeling the weight of my thoughtless actions. I ran my hands through my hair as if hoping to find some clarity amidst the storm of emotions swirling within me.

I replayed the scene in my mind, dissecting every word and every reaction. The image of Tae's widened eyes haunted me, their voice barely above a whisper as they struggled to comprehend my unexpected revelation. How had I let it slip? Why couldn't I control my impulsive nature?

The frustration within me intensified as Lycus, always quick with his teasing remarks, couldn't resist adding fuel to the fire. I clenched my jaw, restraining the urge to snap back at my inner wolf. I couldn't afford to lose control now, not when the situation was already teetering on the edge.

But it was Tae's expression that struck me the hardest. The mix of surprise, confusion, and curiosity in their eyes was etched into my memory. Their vulnerable voice, barely audible, asked if I had been there that night.

My thoughts went back to the night when Tae was attacked.

Flashback Jungkook POV

After leaving Tae's room I went to my room with lots of thoughts circling in my mind. I flopped down to the bed as soon as entered the room.
