Chan: Baby, behave.
There was a hint of his alpha tone which he tried hard to supress when he spoke. Nevertheless, his deep voice that he used made it clear that he wasn't in the mood to play right now. With one last look at you he left leaving you dumbfounded. You hadn't seen his dominant side before. He scolded you before but this was a warning. You weren't scared but horrified at the fact that what he just did . You decided to actually behave for the rest of the night and made your way towards where the remaining guys were.
Seungmin: That was quite a show.
Juno: I was just dancing.
Jeongin: Your heartbeat is so loud I can hear it just by sitting beside you.
Changbin: Damn calm down, gurl. There will be a lot of things done by your mate in the future that will rile you up.
Juno: Who said anything about him?
Jeongin: We didn't hear what he said but we surely saw what happened.
Minho: Damn, that was quite some adrenaline.
Hyunjin: It wasn't enough though.
Minho and the rest came back from the dance floor to where you and the others were sitting.
Felix: The look on Chan's face was hilarious!
Jisung: I was scared that he would come for us.
Juno: I wouldn't let that happen.
Jisung: Awww, I have such a sweet alpha.
Juno: I'm not sweet-
Minho: He's right. I've never saw you kicking someone's ass.
Changbin: Even during training your punches and kicks are very delicate.
Juno: You did train me to have a control over my strength. And I just don't want to hurt you guys. Is that a bad thing?
Seungmin: Would you use it on someone who messes with you though?
Hyunjin: Let's not forget she gave a random kid a swollen forehead by a coffee bean.
Yoonmin and Bong Cha collapsed on the couch next to you.
Bong Cha: Parties are exhausting. Meeting so many people. And bitches.
Juno: Who pissed you off?
Bong Cha: This bitch saw his MATE, MARKED and standing beside him and still gave me sass. Like I'm a hunter, I won't hesitate to chop your hands so that you never lay them on MY MAN-
Yoonmin: Babe! I'm yours! I immediately brushed her away, didn't I? I-
Bong Cha: The audacity she had to make a move when I was standing RIGHT THERE-
Yoonmin immediately hugged her to calm her down.
Yoonmin: Let's forget that and enjoy the party, okay? I'll go get us drinks.
Juno: You stay, I'll go.
Wow. You didn't know mates could get that angry. But it made sense. You would get mad if someone ignored your presence and made a move on your mate. And then again, she was a hunter so she was used to being respected unlike you whose status was not revealed. It seemed funny to you how a title changed the way people looked at you and treated you. You wondered whether Chan was equally as mad at you for misbehaving earlier as you picked the drinks. You searched for Chan as you made your way back to where the others were sitting. You found him standing a bit faraway as you reached the others but what happened next made you freeze and drop the drinks in your hand.
As the drinks fell to the floor, it drew the attention of the rest sitting on the couch. They immediately rushed towards you.
Seungmin: Juno! What's wrong?
You immediately averted your gaze so that the others wouldn't notice.
Juno: Can we go home? I'm tired.
Minho: What's wrong?
Juno: Nothing's wrong. Just not used to social gatherings.
Yoonmin: Jun, what's wrong? You're getting pale.
Juno: I feel a bit sick. I think I just need rest.
Jisung near you and examined you.
Jisung: Palpitations, pyrite, perspiration, possible-
Hyunjin: Are you trying a tongue twister right now? At a time like this?
Jisung: Oh, I'm sorry. Her heart rate is too fast and she's getting pale. Her skin is getting warmer but she doesn't have a fever. She needs rest and she'll be fine. Nothing to worry about. Seungmin, better take her home.
Bong Cha: I'll come too. I'll do whatever I can to help.
Yoonmin: I'm coming home too.
Juno: I'm fine. I can go by myself.
Seungmin: You dropped drinks. What if you drop dead on your way back?
Jeongin: He's right. I think I had enough fun. I'm coming home with you.
Juno: He literally said I just need rest.
Minho: We should all head home, I guess.
Hyunjin: Where's Chan though?
The mention of his name made your body loose strength again as you stumbled to keep balance on your feet. Jeongin caught you and steadied you.
Seungmin: We'll head home first. You all can get Chan and follow after.
You didn't say a word from the moment you left the party. On reaching home, you headed to your room without a word to anyone and immediately changed your clothes, getting under the sheets.
Seungmin, Minho, Jisung and Hyunjin waited for the others in the living room. The others arrived and Chan rushed to them.
Chan: Where is she? What happened? All of a sudden? Is she okay? Did she drink something wrong- Was there something in the food? Does she need to go to the ER-
Jisung: Calm down, Mister! She's resting in your room. She has been working non-stop because of the graduation nearing. I think her body finally gave up. But it's not that bad. She will be fine after some rest. And with her recovery powers she will be fine soon.
Chan sighed in relief.
Bong Cha: Someone is very worried.
She teased him.
Bong Cha: You won't go and see her?
Chan: I- I'll check on her. You guys should head to bed too. It's late. I'll call you guys if she needs something.
Chan awkwardly made his way towards your room. You pretended to be asleep as the door opened. He saw you sleeping and let out a sigh of relief. He caressed your hair for a while and left to take a shower after and you were glad you wiped your tears before he caught you. It was getting difficult for you to sleep with your thoughts raging in your head so you plugged in earphones and let the music drown out all the voices that wanted to take your brain over.
A few days had passed since the graduation. Ever since then you made work your priority and kept yourself busy with it till you get exhausted. Even today you were working as usual until Chan couldn't take it anymore and spoke up.
Chan: Juno, take a day off and rest today. You don't look fine.
Juno: I have been taking enough rest. In fact, I sleep more these days so don't worry.
Chan: Yet, you have dark circles under your eyes and your face looks pale. You're exhausting yourself. You've been over-working yourself ever since summer break.
Juno: Mind you I have to still present myself to the current council even though you all might have accepted me. I have to prove myself worthy of becoming an alpha and taking care of the pack. As much as this position is something given to me by birth, I have to prove that I'm not just some daughter of a supremacist and dominator.
You said all of that in one breath leaving them speechless.
Seungmin: Juno, you do realise that no one is going to know about your background, right? It will be taken care of by Alpha Bang.
Juno: That's the thing. Would they still respect me if they know about my family background? That is what I have to prove. That no matter what blood I have, it doesn't define who I am.
By now everyone's attention was on you though it had been quite obvious to everyone except you that something was wrong with you.
Yoonmin: Hey, where is all this coming from?
Juno: It's coming from the realisation that if I'm not useful then I'm completely unwanted. There is no one who would want me.
Chan: The last time I checked my name was still Bang Chan and not 'no one'.
Juno: You don't have to pretend, it's okay. It was silly of me to think that anyone could want me but I'm not going resent you if you don't like me. So stop pretending. Just reject me already.
This time you looked right into his eyes. Something you had avoided eversince the graduation day.
Chan was taken aback. Where was all this coming from? Before anyone could say anything, the bell rang. Hyunjin went to get the door and came back followed by a person whose sight made you want to release a bag of rats on them. You clutched your fists and stood up to make your way to your room but were stopped by her voice.
Snow: Stop!
You turned to her, confused of what she could possibly want from you now. She turned to Chan and spoke.
Snow: It's her.
Juno: Huh?
Snow: It's her, isn't it? It's Juno.
What did you do now? You don't remember doing anything troublesome... anything extremely troublesome.
Snow: You like Juno!
Juno: What?
Needless to say, you were beyond confused of what was going on.
Snow: You rejected me for her? Doesn't she have a mate already anyways?
Chan: I am her mate.
Chan spoke nonchalantly. She was taken aback for a while before regaining her composure and speaking again, her face twisted in disbelief.
Snow: Th- That can't be... Where's her mark?
Chan: We're taking things slow.
Snow: Oh, c'mon Chan! What's the point of staying with a girl who doesn't even want you?
Juno: Look who's talking.
Snow: She doesn't even let you mark her.
Juno: Just because I'm not ready to be marked yet does not mean that I don't like him.
Apparently, you didn't realise what you said but the others did and Chan relaxed knowing his feelings were not one sided.
Snow: Why would you hide this from me? I thought we were best friends.
Juno: I told him not to tell anyone. Sorry, but I have my reasons.
Snow: Wow, just wow. You are so controlling that you didn't let him tell me about him finding a mate. You manipulated him into agreeing with you to keep it a secret. You act all nice but look at you trying to drive him apart from me. I cannot believe you made him do this.
Before anyone could react, Snow stormed out of the house.
Jeongin: Talk about projecting.
Hyunjin: Wtf just happened?
Bong Cha: What is going on? Snow confessed to you and you rejected her?
Bong Cha asked Chan who sighed before answering.
Chan: Yeah, she did. At the graduation party. But I told her I don't feel the same way.
Felix: And did you tell Juno about this?
Chan: ...I couldn't bring myself to tell her.
Seungmin: Wait a damn minute! Juno hasn't been well ever since the party.
Yoonmin: Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Jisung gasped.
Jisung: Is that why you told him to reject you? Because you knew she confessed?
All eyes snapped towards you.
Minho: But then she would also know he rejected her.
Chan's eyes widened in realisation. You knew. You knew all along.
