It was two days later and Jungkook was still unconscious. The doctors had said that his body was healing well and he might wake up soon.

The trueblood stayed by Jungkook's side at all times. He would just sit by the bed and stare at Jungkook, holding his hand while rubbing his thumb on the soft skin. Every afternoon, the trueblood would cut his wrist to drop a small amount of blood in Jungkook's mouth, because he knew that Jungkook would need it in order to fully get rid of the moonflower poison. If even a small amount was still left in Jungkook's body, then it could prove to be fatal in the future. That's why, for atleast a week, Jungkook would need to, ahem, be like a vampire. Just a little bit. Taehyung could just imagine Jungkook throwing a tantrum when he finds out.

While the trueblood stayed in the clinic, Namjoon and the others took care of the pack matters in place of Jungkook. And maybe they discussed the trueblood a few times. Okay. Maybe a lot of times.

Namjoon was sitting on the kitchen table, quietly drinking his tea, his mind wandering about the trueblood.

'Still thinking about him Joonie?', Jin smiled as he saw Namjoon's brow furrow.

Namjoon sighed. 'Yeah. It's so unfair'

Jin tilted his head adorably. 'What's unfair?'

'That Jungkook got a trueblood as his mate who is also smoking hot while I got stuck with you', Namjoon sassily replied back, holding his hands out to block his face from the hits he knew were coming.

Jin gasped and started hitting Namjoon. 'I'm world wide handsome you know. You cannot get anyone better than me! The disrespect Joonie '

Jimin walked into the kitchen at this moment, stopped, looked at the scene and debated if he should interrupt or if he should just turn around and leave. But he was hungry and pregnant, which wasn't a good combination so he coughed loudly to let the couple know he was there.

'Oh hello. Don't mind the pregnant omega at all. Just trying to get some food to feed my growing tummy,' He cutely said to the two male who were glaring at him.

Jin sighed as he motioned for Jimin to sit down. 'Sit. Eat this sandwich i made earlier. You need to eat healthy. Eat the sandwich while I cook some meat for you okay?'

Jimin grinned. 'Thank you Jin hyung. Why were you trying to kill Joonie Hyung by the way?'

Jin took the meat out of the fridge and started cutting them into tiny chucks. 'Someone decided that the moon goddess blessed him unfair'

'Huh? Joonie Hyung, what did you do?', Jimin asked upon hearing the sad tone of Jin.

Namjoon knew his mate was just playing by sounding sad. 'Nothing. I just called Jungkook lucky because he got a trueblood and a smoking hot man as his mate'

Jimin giggled. 'That's true though. Tae-Tae is so handsome hyung. He looks... what's that word? Ahh, ethereal. He looks like he belongs in a fashion magazine. If he wasn't Jungkook's mate, I would totally hit that'

Jin laughed while slapping Jimin's arm gently. 'You have a mate and are pregnant. Calm you hormones. '

Jimin sighed loudly. 'I know. But just saying. That man can make anyone cheat'

Namjoon shook his head at Jimin's words. He knew that Jimin was saying this purposefully, because Yoongi was standing at the door. Jimin could obviously smell his mate from a mile away.

'Let's not try to make me kill the trueblood. You don't want to see your new bestfriend die now, do you?', Yoongi snickered as he came up behind Jimin and gently hugged him, softly kissing the omega's cheeks.

'Pfft! Like you could take on the trueblood. But seriously hyungs. He is so down to earth for such a high rank. He talks like we are his friends and he never looks down on me. I don't feel like I'm an omega when I'm talking to him. I feel like I'm his equal. Just like I feel with you guys. I know its only been two days but I feel like I have known him my whole life', Jimin gushed, smiling brightly.

Yoongi hummed as he said, 'true. He is very different. Not like many Alphas we have met. He is like Jungkook is so many ways, don't you think? '

'Yeah. He sure is Jungkook's perfect match,' Jin answered.

Hoseok entered the kitchen, finding his friends in one place.

'You guys are having a party without telling me? How rude of you'

'Hey Hoseok. Are you hungry? There's some sandwiches left on the counter,' Jin softly smiled at Hoseok, who was eyeing the sandwich in Jimin's hand.

'Thank you Jinne. I am starving', he replied. 'So, what were you guys gossiping about?'

'Taehyung.', Jimin giggled. 'We were talking about how hot he looks and how lucky Jungkook is'

Hoseok shook his head at the words of his friend. Only his friends could discuss another man infront of their mates like this.

'Well, Jungkook is indeed lucky. Imagine his face when he sees the trueblood for the first time. I bet he'll get unconcious again', Hoseok snickered while the others laughed.

Sure. It would be fun to see Jungkook's reaction to seeing the trueblood in human form for the first time.

It will be hilarious, no doubt.

______________

Jungkook groaned as he opened his eyes, the light too bright for him.

'Jungkook. You're awake,' a voice said.

He looked around to see his hyungs all standing around the bed.

'Uhh, wat happened?', he asked, his voice croaked.

Jimin handed him a glass of water which he gladly accepted.

'You were poisoned by that old lady you helped.', Namjoon replied.

Poisoned? Jungkook was seriously getting pissed now. Out of all the things in the world, they chose poison? Bunch of cowards. Why can't they come and fight like warriors instead of using cheap tricks like poison.

'What kind of poison?', he asked.

'Moonflower'

Jungkook gasped. Moonflower was banned. Not many people had access to it. The antidote would have been hard to make.

'Oh. How did you make the antidote? Where did you find the moonflower plant?', He asked, his eyes looking around, trying to spot the big black wolf which should have been lying around somewhere in the room.

'We didn't make the antidote. And stop looking for your mate. We sent him to take a shower', Yoongi answered.

Jungkook looked at them, his face contorted in a very funny way. He was so confused. Did his hyungs hit their heads or something?

'You send a giant wolf to take a shower? Are you alright hyungs?', he asked, laughing slightly.

Namjoon realized that Jungkook hasn't realized that he was marked yet.

'Umm, Jungkook? Touch your left shoulder, just at the bottom of your neck.'

Jungkook was confused but he still did it. As soon as his hands touched the space, tingles and sparks ran through his whole body, a different kind of heat accompanying it.

'What the -?', Jungkook blurted out. He wasn't stupid ofcourse. He knew that reaction was of a mate mark. But who the fuck had the guts to mark him without consent?

'Who the fuck had the guts to mark me without consent ? Didn't V attack them or stop them?', he was panicking now, his mind still not connecting the dots.

Jin faceplamed. There was no denying it now. The youngest of the group was an idiot.

'Jungkook, honey. You were about to die. So the marking was necessary to save your life. Think about all the clues. Your mate has gone to take a shower. You have a human sized bite mark on your neck and you smell like your mate. Dots connecting yet?', Jin explained very gently, like talking to a child.

Jungkook blinked. The dots were definitely connecting now. His mate marked him to save his life. Okay. But his mate is in wolf form and the bite is human sized so that means.....

'He shifted? Fuck he shifted!', Jungkook suddenly yelled, only to cover his mouth with his hands again, suddenly shy because of his overdramatic reaction.

Hoseok chuckled. 'Yes. He shifted as soon as we found out you were poisoned. He was scared you would hate him because he marked you without consent. Ohh, and he helped you heal with his blood'

Jungkook smiled softly. His mate had shifted for him. To save his life. And the mighty trueblood was scared of his reaction. That's funny. Jungkook would never hate the trueblood for what he did. Sure, the consent wasn't there. But it was a situation where Jungkook's life was at stake. So it was still the best decision.

'What do you mean helped me heal with his blood?', Jungkook asked, only realizing now what Hoseok had said.

'The myth about the trueblood's blood having healing properties is true. He dropped a certain amount of blood in your mouth everyday to help you heal', Hoseok explained.

'Oh', Jungkook said. 'Well, how does he look? Is he as hot as his wolf form?'

'I didn't know my wolf form was hot', a deep voice came from the door, the amusement clear in the tone.

The voice alone was enough for Jungkook to know who it belonged to. The voice had sent a chill down his body, his hormones were going haywire because of how sexy his mate sounded.

'You know I can hear your thoughts right?', the same voice spoke again, only this time through the mindlink.

Jungkook blushed a deep red as he hid his face in his hands, closing his eyes tightly. He was overwhelmed by emotions and he was super shy to face the trueblood who was walking towards the bed, the scent of fresh rain and sandalwood coming closer.

The others quickly uttered a goodbye and hurried out, giving the couple privacy as it was going to be their first officially meeting as mates in their human form.

Taehyung looked at Jungkook with adoration. His mate was hiding his face in his hands, head facing his lap. His ears were red, which Taehyung attributed to blushing. His mate was honestly too cute for his heart.

'Love? Won't you look at me?'
