555. 

[While we are waiting for JK to get to the gc and pacify his friends, let's see what granny eel is up to]

Two-faced Granny Eel:

Sun-Young couldn't move from her seat even if she wanted to. She was rooted to her spot with cold sweat beading her brows. Junho earlier had turned the TV on and set it to the news channels that were only talking about the surprise news. The news anchor was overly enthusiastic and Sun-Young despised her tone immediately.

Everything is over. I'm no longer the head omega. That morning felt like a huge joke.

"The Jeon Pack has a new Head Omega and it's none other than our beloved former Head Omega Jeon Hyewa and Head Alpha Jeon Jinwan's only son, Jeon Jungkook. The pack members all woke up with an email from the pack headquarters this morning and to a surprising announcement.

The moment we were all eagerly waiting for is here. That's right! We now have a new, legitimate Head Omega!"

Sun-Young growled at the word 'legitimate.' Her laughter sounded extremely fake just like that nose job, Sun-Young thought bitterly. This was the same news anchor who was fawning all over her just a couple of months ago.

"The Jeon pack has always been led by an Omega as opposed to the other packs and has been known to produce a long line of purebred omegas. Now, why is it creating such a buzz? Why this is the most awaited moment?"

She drawled with that big ass smile, causing Sun-Young to grit her teeth. Bitterness rose from the pit of her stomach and she could almost taste it in her mouth.

"Let me tell you why. As I have mentioned before, for centuries, the Jeon pack has been dominated by their pure line of omegas. When an omega marries into another pack, they often follow the alpha they married and transfer to the pack their alpha belongs to. However, there is an exception. Their bloodline is so pure that to protect their bloodline, they have these rules they refused to change even after the formation of the Pack Regulatory Authority.

When it comes to the Jeon pack, especially if a purebred omega from the main family is marrying an alpha from a different pack, it's the alpha who leaves his birth pack and transfers to the Jeon pack."

Sun-Young ground her jaw. She fucking hated this purebred bullshit. They definitely thought they were high and mighty.

"Unfortunately for the Jeon pack, the last three Head Omegas gave birth to a purebred alpha heir instead of an Omega. They did not have any omega heir and the current Head Alpha Jeon Jinwan married a purebred omega from Eastern Lee pack. Jeon Hyewa shortly rose to fame and won hearts with her exceptional character and compassionate nature. She was what the Jeon pack called, their queen," the anchor continued, her tone dipping low to show her sympathy. "She would forever live in our hearts and will be remembered for everything she was. Her sudden loss was like a huge blow to the pack. However, she left behind a precious treasure. First purebred omega pup to be born after three generations. Jeon Jungkook."

The anchor clapped as Sun-Young fumed. She remembered that. How could she forget? His mate was so ecstatic that he hasn't slept a wink, pacing that waiting room along with his son Jinwan on the day of her delivery. For months, since they found out Hyewa was having an omega, it was all her husband would talk about.

The entire pack celebrated Jungkook's birth. The news decorated the headlines for weeks. They eagerly waited for the head alpha to reveal the pup to the world.

No one had celebrated Seoyeon's birth like that even when she was the first omega to be born after three generations just because she wasn't a purebred. Sun-Young remembered why she hated them so much.

Her husband was happy. He spoiled Seoyeon but she was just another pup to him. He never considered her an heir. But Jungkook, he was loved and he was celebrated. Envy burned her insides. If only she was a purebred too.

She had to watch as Jinwan flaunted his mate and their pup to the world. He was so smitten that he would never utter a word against her. What she said became the rule and Sun-Young hated that. She hated that even her mate allowed her that leverage just because she gave birth to a purebred pup.

Sun-Young glanced at her phone, contemplating. Her deep-rooted hatred for Jungkook began that day. Hyewa's death was unexpected. It worked in her favor and with the pack affairs spiraling, they had no choice but to bring her in as the acting head omega.

Her husband was against it, telling Jinwan to handle it himself, but Sun-Young had played her cards right. She earned everyone's trust throughout the years and their sympathy. She was a nobody and had beef with no one. They didn't see her as a threat. But with her mate dying, she knew she had to do something to keep living.

"Former head alpha's mate and alpha Jinwan's step mother, Jeon Sun-Young stepped in as interim head omega until the pup came of age."

Sun-Young tuned the anchor out and slowly stood from the chair. A chair she would now never get to sit. A chair that already lost its power. Her fists clenched by her side.

Poisoning Minhyuk's mind all those years ago wasn't enough. Sun-Young was inconspicuous as she always was, talking to the little boy who visited his friend. She would subtly hint to him how nice life would be if Jungkook were to be his omega. How rich he could be and how he would become the future head alpha if Jungkook became his mate.

Minhyuk's alpha father was useless and an alcoholic, his mother was similar. The pup was unruly and undeserving to even step his foot anywhere in the Jeon mansion.But he was good for the job.

While Sun-Young didn't particularly liked that, she reveled in the fact that she could finally wipe that proud smile off Jinwan's face. His helplessness and pain when he learned the news of their dating and how his precious son sneaked behind his back was rewarding.

Sun-Young was bitter that she wanted to see Jinwan crumble because of his son. His pride. She wanted to see what Jinwan would do if his pup was to fall for a regular alpha, thereby tainting their bloodline. She wanted to see him suffer, unable to shun his pup away but also couldn't allow him to marry Minhyuk.

In short, the father and son would fall apart. Because she knew Jungkook. He was his mother's son. He was stubborn and would fight for things he wanted until the very end. Jungkook wouldn't have listened to Jinwan and their relationship would have been strained.

Her plans went exactly how she wanted it to go. Jungkook fell for Minhyuk. Even after his father's warning he continued to fool around with the alpha. But that bastard Minhyuk had to ruin everything by sleeping with Sohee.

Sun-Young had known Minhyuk was cheating behind Jungkook's back and she thought it was deserving. Those damn purebreds were too proud. Now Minhyuk was doing it right under Jungkook's nose. But when Minhyuk took a bite out of Sohee, she was furious at first, wanting to kill that fucker.

However, things were suddenly in her favor. Sohee was a spoiled brat who was obsessed with Jungkook. She went after everything Jungkook did or wanted and Sun-Young saw that could be beneficial. As furious as she was, she had two choices in her hand. She went with the easier one.

Jungkook had been delirious. He was heartbroken. He reacted violently and got into a fight with Sohee, allowing her to reprimand him. Sun-Young didn't let go of the chance. As much as she hated Minhyuk, she sided with her daughter and Sohee if it meant bringing both Jinwan and his son down.

She was going to strip Jungkook of his rights as a punishment, demoting him from being the heir to the Jeon pack.

Sun-Young had been elated when Jungkook started the fight. Jinwan wasn't home. He was traveling and this was the perfect time to execute her plan. Physical fights were frowned up and Jungkook's reputation would be forever ruined when the news got out. Before Jinwan came home, he'd be done for.

As a head omega, all she had to do was to submit a detailed report of what went down to the PRA. They wouldn't question her authority and they surely won't be interested in the pack's internal affairs. That was a headache they didn't want.

If Jinwan filed for an appeal, he wouldn't be able to do shit. She would have already created strong evidence to refute his claims and paint Jungkook in a bad light.

Years of suffering silently had made her scheming and cunning. The cogs in her head turned so fast that when she saw an opportunity, she took it. She waited until the fight got bloody and ripped Jungkook away from Sohee. He was too fucking strong for her and her wolf was trembling the entire time.

Still, she somehow managed to pull him off and slap his face. Stunned, Jungkook hadn't been able to react for a while.

"You stupid pup," she growled. "You dare hurt your own family for some alpha dick," she spat with venom. The years of pent up hate and frustration had exploded out of her. "You useless, stupid bitch in heat." She pushed him so he fell on the floor. "Purebred, my ass. You couldn't even satisfy your alpha and you think so highly of yourself?"

Jungkook had shivered and his lips trembled as he stared at her in shock.

"You're nothing!" she continued to spat. "You're not your mother. What more examples do you want? I won't let this slide." Sohee was curled on the floor, her face bloody and Sun-Young was sure Jungkook broke a few bones. "You hurt your own cousin, intending mortal harm. I, the Head omega of the Jeon pack, hereby demoting you to a regular wolf in the pack. I'll remove you from the family registry if you dare to hit her again."

"What did you say? Demoting? Who gave you the right?"

Sun-Young whipped around to see Jinwan standing there, his form shaking in fury. "W-What are you doing here?"

"You hit my son," Jinwan whispered.

"He hurt Sohee," she yelled. "Look. She is dying! It's all because of him," she accused. "He is aggressive and out of control. He abused his position to hurt his own cousin."

"Shut the fuck up!" Jinwan bellowed, his wolf surfacing and forcing her into submission. "Stay the fuck away from my son! You fucking low lives think that you got a dig on my pup? You dare use your power and authority to demote my son? My pup?"

His claws had extended and he punched the wall beside her, cracking the surface. Her knees were shaking so badly as he slumped on the floor, hiding her face from the furious alpha.

"You think you're better than my pup just because my dad allowed you to sit on that seat? You're nothing but a substitute," he growled. "A fucking stand in. That's all you were and always will be. That position belongs to my pup. How bold of you to assume I'll shun my pup away because he chose to fall in love with this undeserving mutt?"

"Love," she scoffed. "Let's see how the pack will react to why they find out he's in love with a regular alpha. Let's see what they have to say when they know your son tried to kill his cousin because they were fighting over the same dick."

Another punch on the wall rendered her silent.

"I dare you to do it," Jinwan hissed. "Seoyeon and Sohee aren't even members of this pack." His chest heaved. "I want to know what their head alpha would know when I call to tell him how their pack members are conspiring against me. How they're trying to hurt my pup and his reputation just so they could take the position of the head omega? That's treason!"

"No!" Her eyes widened in alarm and she fell to her knees.

"You think I don't know what you want? You wanted me to hate my pup. You wanted me to cut him off because he fell in love with the wrong alpha. Guess what? News flash, Sun-Young. He is my pup! If Minhyuk is who he wants, I'll give him Minhyuk. I swear I'll chop that puny dick and his legs before I allow him to marry him though," he growled. "But nothing you do will make me hate my pup. You wanna get him? You need to go through me first!"

He stepped back with another growl. "All of you, I challenge you to fight me! I fucking swear on Hyewa, I'll tear your limbs and give you the most painful death. I'll make an example out of your deaths in this mansion tonight." He was too furious that the other wolves in the room shivered in fright. His pheromones were overwhelming and several whines echoed in the room. "I'm the Head Alpha of this pack. As long as I'm alive, you can't touch a hair in his body."

He walked toward Jungkook, hoisting the disoriented pup in his arms as if he was still a child. Jungkook was still small and curled into his chest with a loud cry. It tugged at his heartstring. "I'm sorry, bun. I shouldn't have left you alone." Before he left the room, he glanced over his shoulder. "A pig doesn't become an unicorn just because it's allowed to share a bed with an unicorn. My pup is a unicorn. You know who you are." His words were filled with malice and fear raked her body. "I'll destroy you and won't leave a single trace when I'm done with you."

"Papa...Bun is sorry," Jungkook whined.

"I'm not angry at you, bun. Not you." Jinwan immediately kissed the top of his son's head. "Count your days, Sun-Young. I'll burn you alive even if you think of harming my pup. Consequences be damned. Let the PRA do whatever they want, but you or your precious daughter won't be alive to witness it."

Sun-Young had stared at the door he disappeared from for a very long time even after hours. One of the servants found Sohee and immediately took her to the hospital. Shaken to the core after experiencing the rage of a purebred alpha, she didn't dare to utter Jungkook's name again until recently.

"Jinwan, that sneaky bastard," she growled. "You knew what you were doing all along, huh?" She eyed the news again. Her shoulders slumped in defeat. "I should have known better."

What could do then? Her daughter and granddaughter were useless. She had been urging them to marry for a longtime but Sohee wouldn't listen. Sun-Young knew Minhyuk was useless but after that incident he'd gotten himself together and kept it to himself.

While she didn't approve of him and her plan backfired with that unruly pup ending up with Sohee, Sun-Young didn't think much of it because it was good that way too. Minhyuk was easy to control and manipulate.

All Sohee had to do was to marry him and become a member of the Jeon pack. Maybe in the future, she could convince her granddaughter to divorce him and settle him with money in exchange for his silence. But that stupid daughter of hers was always acting impulsively with her own ideas without even consulting her first.

"Ma'am, the car is here to take you home," Junho announced. "Head alpha wants you to hand over everything in your possession and we have orders to pack everything to Seoul headquarters."

Sun-Young fumed but didn't show it outwardly. She nodded stiffly. The omega didn't have to check to know all her cards and head omega privileges would be blocked now. There was nothing she could do but to go back to being the widow of the former head alpha. The pack would give her a sum to manage her expenses every month and that was all she was going to get.

On her way out, she ran into Seoyeon. "Mom, why wouldn't you answer my phone?" her daughter yelled, ignorant to the crowd around them or not caring as to who was hearing them. "Jungkook is the new head omega? How is this possible? This is ridiculous! You have to do something."

Sun-Young's hand reacted before she could. She slapped Seoyeon hard across her face. Something she should have done since she was young.

"M-Mom!" Seoyeon's lips trembled.

"Shut up and get inside the car," Sun-Young hissed under her breath. "Not a word, Seoyeon."

Fortunately, her daughter listened. They climbed inside the waiting car and while departing, Sun-Young couldn't help but look at the high rise building she would never step into.
