For the first time, Taehyung lost in a hunting practice. Yoongi managed to bring their prey.

But Taehyung doesn't care. There are other things that are more important today.

He didn't even answer when Jimin asked why he failed this time. He was just silent.

Until they can go home and he returns to his house— Taehyung refuses to talk to anyone. While his colleagues only guessed that Alpha might be in a bad mood.

After cleaning himself and changing into loose mocca colored pants and a long white top that was just as loose— Taehyung sat back down on the bed. He was just silent. Brooding because his head is still difficult to forget. He wanted to dodge it and took the incident this afternoon as an illusion but when he touched his stomach again, the beat returned.

Does that mean that tomorrow Jeongguk will really pick him up? Is he leaving here? Is there really no other way?

Does he really want to keep Jeongguk's son?

Didn't he really want to kill her and make things easier?

Taehyung fucked. Failed to be a good Alpha for his family.

What will the father think? Will he be hated?

Someone knock on his door made Taehyung wake up. He wiped his face once before getting out of bed.

His mother's smile was the first thing Taehyung saw when he opened the door.

"It's dinner time. Get out and join your friends. They're going to sleep here tonight."

Taehyung just nodded. The main house where Alpha's leader lived was indeed much bigger.

Sometimes several pack members come and occupy empty rooms there. Taehyung usually likes that. But somehow he wasn't happy. Today he longed to be gone and alone.

Once he got to the dining room, sure enough. Yoongi, Hoseok, and Jimin are already sitting at the dinner table with their father. Taehyung tried to smile.

"You are okay?"

Jaesik's voice jerked Taehyung who had just sat beside his mother.

"Yes, Dad. I'm fine."

"But your face says no. What's wrong Taehyung?"

Taehyung bit his lip. Can't they not ask? He was still confused himself. He wasn't sure he could argue right now.

"Taehyung. Answer when dad asked. Are you sick? Why is your face so pale?"

"—If you refuse to talk daddy will call the doctor over here." Jaesik continued.

Taehyung shook his head. His heart was pounding. Without realizing it, his two hands hugged his own stomach. Should not. No pack members other than their families should know. He doesn't trust anyone. What if they reveal the truth?

"Sorry, but I'm really fine. Shall we start eating first?" Taehyung's voice is low. Not even looking at his father.

"Only if we keep talking after eating."

Taehyung cut his own hand. Should he confess? Or wait for Jeongguk until tomorrow?

"Taehyung?"

"Fine, Dad."

Taehyung finally gave up— Nodding.

A little grateful when everything can be quiet and not even a single friend asks. Let him calm down. At least if he has to confess then let him breathe calmly first.

Once they finished eating, and the waiter finished clearing the table. The six of them were still there.

Taehyung knew that if he could just keep up the attitude Jeongguk ordered, his family wouldn't ask.

But how can he be calm? Anyone in position will be just as frantic.

"Taehyung. You know, if there is the slightest problem you can ask our help. You are still our beloved son and your friends are your brother regardless of what your status is now Taehyung." Jihyun's soft voice made Taehyung crouch.

He could feel his back being stroked. "Hoseok said you didn't speak at all after coming back from the forest. You're even pale, are you hurt?" Luna asked again.

Taehyung looked at his friends. They gave a subtle glare. Does it seem that bad now?

"D-do wolves hate vampires?" Taehyung asked doubtfully. He looked at his father.

"It depends. Whether they're teasing or not." Jaesik's answer made Taehyung sigh heavily.

If you think about it, he was the one who initially challenged Jeongguk. He's the one who got himself into trouble. Taehyung regretted his actions even more.

"What's wrong Taehyung? Haven't we fought them many times? Did you meet one of them and lost this time?" Now it's Hoseok's turn to try to ask questions.

Taehyung tried to smile. "No. I didn't fight today." He said.

"—But I talked to one of them." Taehyung connected.

It's quiet. Nobody spoke and Taehyung bit his lip before getting up. Bringing a look even more confused than the others.

"T- this can prove. Sorry I lied to you all a month ago." Taehyung pulled down his loose shirt collar to his shoulders. Remove the bandage that he put on to cover the sign from Jeongguk.

With that, the two foreign dots on Taehyung's shoulders grabbed attention.

Jimin even got up from his chair to confirm and touch it.

"So that's what you've been covering up all this time? Tell me who dared to bite you ?!"Taehyung was silent again.

"Which clan, Taehyung? Are you okay? Did the bite leave poison?"

Taehyung sat back down. Jimin who was beside him finally remained on the bench next to him."Origin. Jeon Jeongguk."

Taehyung flinched when Jaesik got up from his chair. Walk towards him with a frown.

Taehyung didn't even have time to ask when his arm was pulled. Make him get back up from the chair facing his father.

"Origin doesn't mark its prey unless they're interested, Taehyung." Jaesik's deep voice echoed.

Taehyung bit his lip frantically. Should he be honest? Would it be better to be honest?

"Say— What happened other than him biting you?"

Pinched shoulders. Taehyung was forced to look his father's eyes. Taehyung knew, rather than getting angry— Jaesik looked more worried.

"We did-"

Even though Taehyung's answer wasn't clear— But his low voice was able to make the five people there froze.

Jaesik's hand went down. The Alpha swallowed hard. Feeling his throat dry suddenly.

"Taehyung— What kind of nonsense is that ?!"

Taehyung shook his head. Rush kneeled in front of his father. He ducked. Her voice trembled.

"Forgive Taehyung, Father."

Meanwhile Jihyun kept her mouth shut. Totally do not believe what she heard.

Yoongi, Hoseok, and Jimin glared half mad. How come. They just heard that Kim Taehyung 'spent the night' with a vampire who they all knew was someone Taehyung didn't like. The boy was always looking for trouble and even killed some wild vampires. Then now the young Alpha is on his knees confessing about his activities with one of the Origin status vampires.

"Sorry." Taehyung said again. He was angry, because he wanted so badly to quit. Want to be quiet again and not confess.

He is embarrassed. Of course.

Jaesik closed his eyes, massaged the bridge of his nose.

"Does anyone know?" He asked softly. This time trying to be more calm.

Taehyung seemed to be shaking his head.

"Good. Don't let anyone find out. I hope I can trust you."

Without even staring, Taehyung's three friends understood that the words were for them. Of course they could not open their mouths. Regardless of how deadly Jaesik's gaze was, they knew Taehyung was a strong child, a future successor to their father they were proud of. Just because he's been in a relationship with a vampire doesn't mean Taehyung has lost everything right?

"We'll be quiet." Yoongi replied.

Meanwhile, Jihyun who saw the son was still kneeling— Could not help but get up from his chair. Hugging Taehyung's body. "Hey, it's okay. We can forget about this problem, hm? Don't think about anything anymore. Get up." Subtle persuasion.

But Taehyung ducked even more. He touched his mother's arm, pulled her hand toward his stomach.

Jihyun was confused. But when she strained she hearing she could feel a beat under her hand. her eyes widened when he caught what her son meant.

"What is wrong?" Jaesik's voice came back.

Jihyun looked at Alphanya. Unconsciously her cheeks were wet. Confused what to say. Only one kept ringing— What will happen to her son later?

"Looks like— Origin left its offspring to our Alpha." Hearing Luna's utterance, Jaesik froze in his place.
