Chapter 5: Memories

Jungkook was about to run away until he heard someone slow clapping. He turned around and scowled as he faced the person.

"It's you again."

It was the same lady he met four months ago, and the same woman who saved him in the forest.

FLASHBACK

3 months ago.

Jungkook's eyes flashed when he saw another vampire patroller running around the area as he chased him. The man stumbled, too slow to run even for Jungkook. Ever since Jungkook knew that he was killed by a vampire—thanks to the woman who saved him, he has been hunting the vampires, especially when they go near his territory. It has been a month since he was saved from death, by some stranger who found him in the forest.

He became territorial.

After a few kills and bites to the man, he ran the other direction. He stopped at the same lake he often goes to and shifted back to his human form, grabbing the clothes he left there. He turned around, and was met with the beautiful lady— whom Jungkook was familiar with, and even mistook her as his noona back then.

"What the hell?" Jungkook growled at the lady when he just pulled up his pants up quickly, and the woman scoffed in disbelief, turning away and not wanting to see a half-naked alpha. He retorted at the idea that she had to walked in with him dressing up.

"Turn around now." Jungkook announced, pissed off that the lady is here again. "Now tell me what do you want?"

"Respect me!" The woman exasperated, glaring at the young wolf. "I was the one who gave you another life."

Jungkook snorted, thinking. Even without her, he can still heal himself although it would take months for him to heal from a vampire's bite. Luckily, the vampire didn't snap his neck or else he'd die right away.

He sighed, giving in to his saviour as he lazily tilt his head and put up a fake politeness. "What is it that you want?"

The woman smiled at him. "I heard that you're going to attack the current King?"

"How did you know that?" Jungkook's eyes widened, mouth agape at the woman who knew about the mission. Did someone tell her? Did someone from his territory betrayed him and told her a rather confidential mission?

"I told you I have my ways." She smirked, crossing his arms over her chest before walking towards Jungkook. "Anyways, I want to make a deal with you."

"What is it?" Jungkook huffed, rolling his eyes. "Overthrow Namjoon and let me rule the Kingdom instead?"

"No." The lady snorted, amused by what the young wolf said. "I don't want the werewolves to rule the world, and I'm pretty sure you don't even want to be the leader of wolves— how much more the king of all the races?"

Jungkook looked at her with utter disgust before walking towards the stone, sitting on it. "Then what is it that you want? Make sure it involves not seeing you again."

"I'm not sure about that 'not seeing you' again part. Because I'm pretty sure you'll need me soon." The lady shrugged her shoulders.

"Get to the point."

The woman put her forefinger on her lips, tapping it and acting like she was thinking before looking back at Jungkook. "I want you to attack the current King in five days"

"Five days?"

"Yes," the lady nodded, approaching Jungkook. "And if you do that, I'll gladly assist with the war. That day will be perfect for Kim Namjoon to die."

Jungkook's lips curved side ward, looking at her in astonishment. He stood up, facing the lady and locked gaze with her.

"And what will you do for me?"

He waited for the lady to talk but instead of talking, she raised an eyebrow and deeply looked into his eyes. It was as if she was trying to read what the wolf was trying to think.

The lady smiled, cockily. "You will see her."

"What?"

"You will see the one you have longed for a month now."

"Who?" Jungkook was taken aback and leaned back, thinking what offer did the lady came up with to be this confident.

"Your noona. Your mate."

END OF FLASHBACK

"Well surprise. It's me again," she said cockily, raising her arms and acting like a person with sense of humour. "I know you'd want to see me. Didn't I tell you that before?"

"And what is it in your dumb mind that got you thinking I want to see you again?" Jungkook snapped, rolling his eyes at her.

"Rude." The lady grunted, leaning her head to the side. "Anyways, don't you want to erase her memories?"

"What?" Jungkook looked surprised by her direct question, confused by what she meant.

"I mean if she ever wakes up, she still won't be yours knowing how much she must've been attached to Taehyung now."

"And what makes you think again that I'll agree to your deal?!" Jungkook hissed. "And what the hell are you talking about?!"

"The child." The lady responded bluntly. "I know you knew she's pregnant with Taehyung's child the moment you saw her."

She chuckled in a mocking tone, adding. "You even hid the fact from your own mother— trying to cover her scent with your Alpha scent."

"Are you threatening me?" Jungkook huffed. "I already complied your deal three months ago in exchange for me to see Ha Na!"

"Remember that you tricked me, Jungkook." The lady huffed, rolling her eyes as she crossed her arms over her chest. "It's been 3 months since I told you to attack Namjoon but you didn't comply."

"About that—"

The lady continued, cutting off, and not really wanting an explanation from the young alpha. "And I'm not threatening someone here, Jungkook. I'm just proposing a good and beneficial offer for the both of us."

"Both of us?"

"Yeah." the lady replied directly. "The deal is that make Taehyung the King again and you will not see me anymore. I will have Kim Taehyung, and most likely I will become his Queen." the lady smirked.

"Are you crazy? Taehyung is dead!" He exclaimed making the lady chuckle in sweet delight. "And I'm pretty sure you cannot erase her memories."

"What makes you think that?"

"There's only one person that is capable of doing that." He hissed.

"Who?" She arched her eyebrows.

"Duke Kim Seokjin."

The lady's expression turned from a cocky one to a frown. "There's nothing a witch cannot do, Jungkookie. Are underestimating me?"

Shaking her head, she looked at Jungkook with great disappointment. "Remember that I was the one who saved you."

Jungkook sighed, thinking deeply about the offer. Maybe if he complies this one too, she will finally leave him alone. "And what part is there that could benefit me?"

"I will erase her memories in return, and she become yours."

Jungkook gritted his teeth, knuckles are turning white from clenching it too much. "Fine. We will see each other at the palace in five days."

The witch smirked. "Good."

She bit her lips, and winked at Jungkook before turning around. She let out a squeak, facing Jungkook back. "Why don't you turn off the machines Jungkook?"

Jungkook looked at her, bewildered. "What machine?"

"The machine that Ha Na got connected to."

"Are you crazy?! If I do that, she will die!" Jungkook growled, wasn't expecting for her to say things like that.

"Don't worry, Jungkook. Trust me. If you do that, she will wake up."

As soon as the lady left, Jungkook was running around the area again in search for vampires for him to take out his frustration until Jungkook sense something was wrong. He looked around the area, sensing a familiar scent he once encountered.

He walked towards the smell of scent, snout twitching for more access. He stopped his tracks, eyes fixed on a weak wolf laying on the ground.

"Jiminie hyung?"
