Poison… Help Me

[JIMINIE]

Love was new to Jiminie. All his life he never felt loved. His father made him hate himself. His mother saw him as an alpha who needed to lead the pack and make sure everything was in the right place. 

His pack saw him as a protector because of how powerful he was and how every faction out there was scared of him, including the Lycans. 

Everyone always needed him for their own benefit, and now the first person who wanted him for him was someone the society would frown upon. Hell, he even bore the mark of the devil himself, so how the fuck was he even supposed to deal with this?

"Ah fuck it," Jiminie said as he walked to his room. He wasn't going to pretend like he was feeling all rosy and sunshine when his heart was broken today, probably because he was overthinking, but it was hurting nonetheless.

"What the hell?" Jiminie questioned when he felt his abdomen hurt suddenly. It had never happened and he couldn't quite blame it on the horse race he had just come from involuntarily.

"Shit," Jiminie groaned as he clutched his stomach. He could feel it rip from the inside and boy was it tearing him apart. There was a kind of heat that he was sure was meant to drive him crazy at this point.

Determined and confused, Jiminie struggled to hold onto the nearest table only for Hilton to fall to the ground face first, with his hands still clutching his stomach. The pain kept growing and he wasn't sure if this was supposed to be normal.

"It'll pass," Jiminie said to himself but the longer he stood on the ground the more he felt the pain, and even worse, he could feel his body heating up a little too fast. This wasn't normal and his first instinct was that he had been poisoned.

It was no coincidence that this was happening to him just after he had come from the borders and met with a damned Lycan who wanted Agust for herself. Oh Jiminie was angry and so damn tired.

"Nghh," Jiminie whimpered defeatedly as he struggled to stay conscious. His pain was too much and he didn't want to give in to it. He had just woken up from a two-week isolation and went to his people.

If he was unavailable again, his people could think he was an incompetent Alpha, which was the opposite of what he was. Previously he was dealing with the loss of his father and the fact that Agust had so blatantly claimed the kill.

It was almost like none of this mattered to Agust and the longer Jiminie hoped for something better, the more he was proven wrong by the man whose mark was currently burning up on him.

"Mama… Poison… Help me," Jiminie whimpered one last time before he fell unconscious unable to fight the pain. He was a powerful wolf, but it was like his body was fighting against him and there wasn't a thing he could do.

Jiminie had never experienced such a fever and he didn't know if this was supposed to get him alert or worried about the rate at which he was always down and away from his office. 

He couldn't have this happening again, but then his unconscious form on his floor said otherwise.

"Anyone heard that?" Luna Park, who was with the Kiyoto women outside, asked and the women just stared at her before they shook their heads. They had seen their Luna go herself since she had lost her son for five days and they didn't want to see it again.

"Just the kids," one of the women said as she looked at the kids who were playing in the distance. They looked happy now that most of the wolves had decided against leaving the pack. 

Those who had wanted to leave had changed their mind at the last minute because quite frankly, they knew their journey to the human lands wasn't ever going to be worth it. If the Lycans did not attack them on their way out, then they would be ruined eventually.

Being around Alpha Park Jimin was comforting because Jiminie's name alone kept the leaders of all the other factions away. Hell, even the mad Lycan king himself had steered clear of Kiyoto. None of the wolves had seen him.

If only they knew that this was for Jiminie and not because of Jiminie.

"I need to check on my son. He just came back from captivity," Luna Park said to the Kiyoto women who stared at her disbelievingly. They had noticed the change and they were obsessed with her son's safety.

"You baby him too much. He is a grown man who can make his decisions and has led us to war and won."

"Don't you think you're smothering him too much?"

"He might start avoiding you. Let him be."

"I am his mother. You all don't know him like I do. You guys can continue with the project, I'll be back as soon as I'm sure my son is alright. And if I hear you talk shit about him, I will kill you myself," Luna Park warned and the women sighed.

They knew they were right, but at the same time, they couldn't deny that none of them knew whatever the fuck had happened to Jiminie out there. No matter what they wanted to argue with, none of them would ever relate.

Jiminie had been forced away from home for five days and his April troops had been murdered and their dues sent back on horseback. Of course, Luna was right to worry about her son.

"Have you seen Mimi?" Luna Park asked Lee Tang when she got to the pack house. She could see how he was anxious and for a moment the Luna thought the beta had also heard what her son had said. 

But then He shook her head at the thought because Jiminie had sued the private mind link for the house of Park.  Lee Tang couldn't get a hold of any information that was passed there.

"I just left his office. You can check there but I have a feeling he wants to be left alone," Lee Tang said earnestly and Luna looked at him. She had never heard him talk like that, but then she couldn't deny the possibility that her son had pushed his best friend away.

"Something is wrong. Come with me," Luna Park said, her voice coming off as an order rather than a request. Lee Tang had wanted to contest, but he courted and he knew that too. So, he followed the Luna to the alpha's office which they found empty.

However, there was a blood trail that led from the office to the alpha's room, which was all so unexpected. The fact that it was Jiminie's blood got Lee Tang worried for his best friend. He could have sworn Jiminie was okay when he had left.

Surely that wasn't enough time for him to be out of touch with reality and even bleed, right? Well, they needed to hurry, because otherwise, there would be worse for them to see and they wouldn't have a way out of this regardless.
