*******Jimin's POV*******

Hearing a knock on my hotel room door, I got up to go answer it, to see Yoongi and Namjoon standing at the door.

"Hyungs...what's up?" I asked them nervously. I don't know why, but they looked way too serious for my comfort level.

"Can we talk?" Namjoon asked.

"About?" I questioned them, looking from one to the other.

"Just let us in, Jimin," Yoongi said, pushing past me and walking into my room.

"By all means," I mumbled, moving out of the way for Namjoon to enter, too. "Come right in."

I closed the door and turned to look at them both. They were sitting on the edge of the bed and had pulled the chair from the desk in front of them.

"Sit," Yoongi said.

"I think that I'll stand, thanks," I told him, crossing my arms.

'Who does he think he is? A Beta trying to boss me around? Kill him.'

I rolled my eyes at my alpha. 'Calm down. I'm not going to kill him. He's my friend and my brother.'

'If you don't, then I will.'

'You will NOT!' I roared inside my head. 'Lay one finger on him and I will kill YOU myself.'

'Insufferable human,' he muttered. 'As if you could harm me. Kill me and you kill yourself.'

'If you hurt one of my brothers, then it will be worth it,' I told him. 'Don't test me.'

"Please sit down, Jimin," Namjoon said. "We just want to talk to you about something. Don't start getting aggressive, yet. You don't even know what we want to talk about."

"No...but from the looks on both of your faces, I'm not going to like it."

They looked at each other, then back at me, both nodding at the chair again. I sighed and sat down.

"What?" I asked them.

"Well..." Yoongi started. "We were wondering if you've really thought this through, Jiminie."

"What do you mean?" I asked, sitting up straighter. "Thought what through?"

"Aurora," Namjoon said, then he held up his hands in defense when my alpha growled at him. "Calm down, Alpha. We're just wondering if this is what's best. For her."

"She is my mate," My alpha growled out. "It is best for her to be with me."

"Your mate is dormant," Yoongi said. "She could stay that way the rest of Aurora's life."

"She is waking up the more that I'm with her, though," I told them.

"Exactly," Joon told me. "But if you stop seeing her, then her Omega will stay dormant for the rest of her natural life, then she can meet your alpha again in the next life."

My alpha tried to come forward. I managed to fight him back, but he still got me to lean forward ands nap my teeth at Joon, who leaned back and away, his eyes wide.

"She. Is. My. Mate. Mine. Nobody else's," He growled. "I will not yield on this."

"Please, Alpha," Yoongi said, bowing his head slightly as a sign of respect to my alpha. "I understand that, but have you stopped to think about what this could do to her life? She has no idea what she is. She has no idea that werewolves even exist. And you live in another country. She loves her job, her kids, her house, her family. You will be tearing all of that away from her. Is that really what you want to do?"

"I...I..." I stuttered. I couldn't help it. I had no idea what to say here. That thought had never crossed my mind. All I had been thinking about was the fact that I had finally found my True Mate. I hadn't even considered what being my mate, the mate of a world-famous Idol, could mean for Aurora. How in the hell could I be so selfish?

I hung my head. "You're right," I tell them. "I don't know how I never thought of this before."

"You just found your True Mate," Joon said, leaning forward to put a hand on my knee. "It's understandable that you got over-excited and over-eager. That's why we're here, Jiminie. To help you see another side of it."

I smile at him. "I know. You two have always been the level-headed betas that I need to function properly." I looked from one of them to the other. "But you know what it means if I don't see her again, right? If I don't mate and mark my True Mate?"

They both sigh and nod, looking sad.

"We'll never find our own mates," Yoongi said. "None of us in our pack will."

"Are you okay with that?" I ask him.

He shrugs. "No, but...We'll learn to deal. We always do."

I turn my head to Namjoon. "And you? Will you be okay with never finding your mate?"

He shakes his head. "No. You know how badly I want a mate and a handful of pups. But...if this is what is best for you and your mate, then it's what's best for the pack."

I shake my head. "I'm not sure what's best for any of us, to be honest. I'm going to have to think about it some. Maybe we should have a Pack meeting, see what the other guys say."

"That's a bad idea," Yoongi told me. "Joon wants pups but not as badly as Tae does. And Jungkook has always been in love with the idea of finding his mate and falling in love. If you put it out there that you're considering taking those things away from them, there's going to be a coup. You should just do it and not tell them. You're the Alpha. They have to submit, no matter what you plan on doing."

"If you do plan on walking away, then you shouldn't tell them. Not until it's too late for them to do anything about it," Joon suggested to me. "Then they just have to deal, because it is what it is."

"It just..." I sighed again. "It seems mean not to let them have a say in a decision that affects all seven of us. I don't want to be that kind of alpha. I want to take everyone's feelings into consideration."

"And that is why you are the Alpha and not one of us," Yoongi says with a laugh.

"Oh. Sure," I said with a laugh back at him. "Because it has nothing to do with this annoying ass wolf in my head."

'I heard that.'

*******Aurora's POV*******

Monday

Me: Hey! Will I see you tonight?

Jimin: No. Sorry. Late rehearsal. Talk later.

Me: Oh! Okay. I understand. Hope you had a good day.

Jimin: Same.

Tuesday

Me: Hi! Just checking in. I hope that you've had a good day today and that you got some rest after your late rehearsal last night.

Jimin: I did. But long day. Still at the studio.

Me: Okay. Sorry that I keep catching you at the worst times.

Jimin: No worries.

Wednesday

Me: Jimin! I miss your face! Come see me!

Jimin: I'm sorry, Aurora, but I can't. Working.

Me: I was just trying to be cute. I wasn't trying to bother you. I'm sorry.

Jimin: You're already cute. Stop apologizing. You've done nothing wrong.

Me: Okay.

Thursday

Me: At the risk of seeming clingy, I am going to say hi, again, today.

Jimin: What s clingy?

Me: Umm...clingy is when a girls hangs all over a guy, blows up his phone all day long to the point that it seems obsessive.

Jimin: Oh.

Friday

Me: I get it, Jimin. I'm sorry that I've been bothering you. I just thought...Never mind. I'll stop texting you.

*******Jimin's POV*******

I stared at my phone, my hands shaking so hard that I could barely read the screen.

She wasn't going to text me anymore. She thought she was bothering me, even though hearing from her every evening was the best part of my day. But I had to make her think that I wasn't interested, even though that couldn't be farther from the truth.

"Jiminnie-Hyung?" Jungkook said, putting his hand on my shoulder as he sat down next to me on the side of the stage as the staff worked out blocking for the shows. "Are you okay?"

I shook my head and leaned into his side, squeezing my eyes shut as tears started to fall down my cheeks. Jungkook shifted us so that he could wrap his arms around me as I buried my face in his shirt and cried.

"I know it's hard," he said, lightly stroking my hair with his long fingers. "But you decided it was the best thing for her, to let her live a normal life."

I nodded and cried harder, my voice cracking on a sob that caught the other members' attention as well. The stage blocking was forgotten and I soon had six bodies wrapped as tightly around mine as possible, trying to hold me together as my heart broke into a million pieces.
