Next Day:

Yn’s POV:

I hadn’t seen the Alpha yesterday. I waited for him… but he didn’t come to the palace. At some point, I drifted to sleep, and when I woke up

I am angry at myself for falling asleep while my friend’s life was in such a delicate, dangerous situation.

How could I rest when Ari’s future was trembling on the edge of uncertainty?

I stepped out of the room quickly, my footsteps echoing through the empty halls. My heart felt restless, searching, pulling me forward..

I stopped when I found Yoona Maa in the garden, the gentle morning light spilling over her figure as she worked with the plants.

Yn:“Maa… have you seen His Highness?” I asked quickly, almost breathless.

Yoona looked up at me, her expression soft.

Yoona: “I heard he returned early this morning from the territories,” she replied.

“But I don’t know where he is now, Yn. Why? Did something happen? Is everything alright?”

Her voice carried genuine worry.

Yn:I forced a smile, though my heart was pounding.

“Nothing happened, Maa. I just wanted to know where he was… I didn’t see him yesterday after he left for court.”

But then… she walked closer, her hands curling warmly around my hands. Her eyes searched me.

“Yn… is everything truly alright with you?” she whispered.

“I mean… that night, we heard everything. We were terrified. I know what it was, but…

you must know that sometimes, when the beast inside a true-blooded Alpha fully awakens, he might hurt his claim. Did that happ—”

I cut her off with a smile, shaking my head gently.

Yn:“There’s no need to worry, Maa. His inner Alpha has fully accepted me. We’ve grown… so close these past months.” My words softened, sincerity spilling out.

“And I don’t think I need to explain more, because you, of all people, have experienced everything personally.”

and You know bond between Inner beast and His Omega

But then, something flickered across her face.

Something—like a shadow passing her expression.Something close to read. It reminded me of the way Jungkook’s expression shifts

suddenly, concealing more than it reveals. It amused me, and yet… it unsettled me.

Yoona:“Alright then,” said quickly, her tone shifting back to normal. “I’m going, Yn. I have to collect herbal leaves.”

Yn:I stood there quietly, watching her walk away. There’s something about Maa that always amuses me, I thought.

The love she holds for Jungkook—even though he is not her own son. And the way His Majesty never denies her words… it tells me their bond inside the chambers runs deeper than the world will ever know.

I left the garden with a smile, but inside I was restless again. My eyes scanned the corridors as I walked through the palace halls. My heart whispered, Alpha, where are you?

The air shifted suddenly. A familiar scent brushed against me like a soft caress, wrapping me in safety, in comfort. It filled me, calming the storm in my chest.

My lips curled into a smile of pure relief. He’s here near to me but where !?

I searched quickly, following the pull of the scent, until my eyes landed on a room.

Without hesitation, I pushed the door open and slipped into the library, closing it smoothly behind me.

There he was.

MY ALPHA

Jungkook sat at the long table, fully concentrated on the books before him. His broad shoulders relaxed, yet commanding, his eyes moving steadily over the inked lines.

He was reading about the victories of the Jeon dynasty—centuries of power and legacy.

I walked slowly toward him, my heart beating against my ribs, my fingers clutching the fabric of my dress nervously. I stopped beside him, gathering the courage to speak.

Yn:“Your Highness…” My voice was soft, almost trembling.But he---

But he didn’t respond. Not a word. Not even a glance in my direction. He just kept reading, eyes fixed on the book. Confusion laced my chest.

Why isn’t he responding? Did I… upset him somehow?

My voice wavered, desperate. “Alpha…”

This time, a low hum escaped him, but his eyes never left the page.The small acknowledgment only made my restlessness grow.

Anger pricked inside me. Without thinking, I reached forward and snapped the book shut right in front of him.

“Jungkook! I want to talk with you.”

The name slipped from my mouth before I realized it. The sound of it shattered the silence, heavy and forbidden. My breath hitched.

My eyes widened in horror. Did I just… call him by his name?

I closed my eyes, cursing myself for such recklessness. Stupid, stupid…Today he’ll kill me Sure for this.

But When I opened my eyes again, he was no longer seated. He was standing right in front of me.

My lungs froze..My body stilled..His height towered over me, his gaze unwavering as he leaned closer, pressing his palms on the table, caging me in.

Panic surged..

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.
