Chapter 22 - chapter 22

Is he angry now? Is he going to punish me for daring to call him by his Name ?

But instead… he reached out, gently brushing a strand of hair behind my ear.

The tenderness of the gesture made my world stop. His eyes softened, voice dropping into a whisper that tangled around me.

Jungkook:"What do you want to talk about, Yn?"

Yn:My breath caught. His closeness was overwhelming, but I remembered why I had come.

For Ari. For Yoongi Hyung. I forced myself to steady my voice as I cupped his cheek, my fingers trembling against the sharp line of his cheekbone.

"I… want a help from you, Alpha," I said softly.

His brows furrowed.

Jungkook:"Help?" His voice carried confusion, suspicion.

Yn:I nodded, sliding my arms slowly around his neck for courage. "Advisor Min arranged Yoongi Hyung's marriage with someone else.

Ari overheard it when she passed His Majesty's chambers. Actually… it was His Majesty who brought the proposal to Advisor Min.

And who would dare deny His Majesty? So he accepted, without even asking Yoongi Hyung."

I swallowed hard, my voice breaking with urgency. "And the main problem… Ari is carrying his pup inside her."

but suddenly His arms tightened instinctively around my waist.

Jungkook:"So?"

Yn:I blinked at him in disbelief. "So!?

Alpha, what do you mean so!? You have responsibility in this!" but He tilted his head slightly, eyes narrowing.

Jungkook:"Do I?"

Yn:"Yes!" I snapped back, my voice stern now. His gaze flickered with amusement, but I didn't waver. I pressed forward, desperation in my tone.

"Alpha, please… please help us. Talk with His Majesty. Do something to stop this alliance. Make them back off, and arrange one between Yoongi Hyung and Ari instead. Please, Alpha."

but his words make me froze on the spot

Jungkook:"I already know about the alliance talks between His Majesty and Advisor Min," he said calmly.

Yn:My heart skipped. "You do!?" My voice carried shock, disbelief then I snapped without thinking

"Then why didn't you do anything, Alpha? She's crying, broken. What about the pup inside her? What about Yoongi Hyung?

What if they think of running away? What will people say about them? What if—" My words stopped when his finger pressed against my lips.

Jungkook:"I knew about this a month ago," he said firmly. "I already told Yoongi Hyung when I found out.

And he already refused. He said he will never marry anyone other than Ari—not for power, not for money.

I think Ari misunderstood everything… and chose to hide it from Hyung."

Yn:"Really?" I whispered, seeking confirmation.

He hummed in response. Relief flooded through me, and before I realized it, I threw my arms around him, hugging tightly.

My chest swelled with happiness as I whispered,

"I thought you weren't supporting them…" But then I pulled back slightly, eyes pleading. "But you still have to talk with His Majesty.

If he gives his word to Advisor Min, then Ari will be accepted fully. Please… do this for me. For them."

Jungkook:"You want me to do it… for you?" he asked quietly.

Yn:"Yes Atleast For Hyung. For Ari. For their pup. And because you do have responsibility in this..Don't back off now, Your Highness!"

Suddenly, his grip on my waist tightened sharply, making me hiss at the impact. My eyes darted up to his, startled.

Jungkook:"Jungkook." His voice was deep, commanding. "Call me Jungkook. Or Alpha. When we are alone. I don't care if you call me that even in front of the crowd."

Yn:My throat dried, my lips trembling. The base of his voice sent shivers through me, but joy bloomed silently inside. I whispered,

"I thought… you didn't like it when I called you by your name, Alpha.

I lift my gaze to look into his eyes and said

Because… I know you hated me. I know you despised my touch, my scent… everything about me. I know you hated me to the core."

But then his expression changed.That really Stunned me. For the first time, his eyes widened a little bit quickly covered with his Cold Aura

Jungkook:"Who said that?"

Yn:A bitter chuckle escaped me.

"I know it, Alpha. You don't need to say it aloud. Your actions have always spoken louder than words. And I couldn't bear to hear those words directly from your lips. Since childhood, you never liked me. Never liked my presence."

My voice cracked, breaking under the weight of years.

"Now you're only saying this because your inner Alpha is bound to me. Otherwise, you'd never stand near me. Never touch me."

"Now this closeness…the touches, the nights we've shared in the chamber, the way we crave more of each other," whispered, her voice breaking..

"It's not because you wanted it—it's only your inner Alpha demanding it."

Her chest tightened, words dragging out like thorns, but she forced her gaze to meet his.

"I know this much, Alpha," she breathed, pain shimmering in her eyes..

"There's no need to hide it from me." I know it from very Start

I gently pulled myself from his grip, my body trembling.

"Please… just look forward to the alliance matter, Alpha."

With that, I turned and left. I couldn't let him see my tears. Couldn't let him watch me break.

Jungkook exhaled heavily, his gaze locked on the retreating figure..

Her words had pierced deeper than she would ever know, messing with his mind, shaking the walls he'd built.

But he composed himself, straightening his back, and walked steadily toward His Majesty's chambers.
