Chapter 23 - What Manner of Love is This?

[PARK]

"You've been in there for an hour already, Park Jimin. I thought I told you we needed to fucking talk!" Luna Park shouted angrily as she banged the door to her son's bedroom. She sounded frantic and for a moment, Jiminie forgot about Agust.

"Fuck… I'm coming, mom!" Jiminie said and he could hear a deep chuckle beside him.

"That would have sounded better when your pussy was sucking my dick. Or do you want to have a go at it?" Agust said and Jiminie sighed. 

He knew for a fact that the Lycan king hadn't come with him to Kiyoto, but he couldn't deny the impact the king had on him. He knew that life was never going to be the same and with his subconscious choosing Agust of all the people to be his comfort character. 

Jiminie knew he was fucked a hundred times over. Maybe there was a way out of this, but what were the chances that his responsibilities in Kiyoto would keep him distracted enough not to think about Agust the devil in plain clothes?

"If you don't open this door, I'll have the warriors pull it down!" Luna said and Jiminie sighed as he rushed out of the shower and put on some clothes, without bothering to dry himself up. 

He knew his mom and he knew the woman would break down the door like she had threatened. As much as that was his mother's love language, Jiminie was in the mood for repairs. 

Besides he needed to go have a chat with his father now that he had seen some part of the Lycan kingdom. It would be better if they started planning their attacks with what Jiminie had seen, right?

"Hello to you too, Mom," Jiminie said as he opened the door, his stance going back to the Alpha his people knew when he saw the warriors standing there with the luna. His mom was crazy, but it wasn't news for him.

"What the fuck were you doing in there! I thought I lost you too… I thought—'' the angry Luna said and her son looked at her in shock. How the fuck as he even supposed to deal with this?

At first Alpha Park thought that his mother's tears were just for her to show how dramatic she could be, but when he stared into her eyes, he could see a certain emptiness, the kind that got him wondering what the fuck happened.

"Mom," Alpha Park said as he pulled his mom into a hug, while the warriors wiped away stray tears. The Alpha held his mom a little longer, before he pulled back, wiped his mother's tears gently, and waited for her to talk.

"What happened, Mom?" Alpha Park asked.

"Mimi… Your father,'' Luna began, calling her son with a name that the Alpha knew was way too personal for the both of them. The last time his mother had called him that, she was having a breakdown and was at her lowest.

"What about father?" Alpha Park asked as he tried to reach out to his father through the mind link, only to be met with an emptiness. 

There was only one reason as to why someone would not be accessed by the links and boy was the Alpha terrified of that answer.

Granted, his father hasn't exactly been the best of fathers, but he had been a good husband to his mom. Alpha Park had watched this mother get showered with love by the same man who terrorized him in his sleep.

It wasn't like he was about to tell the world about his father hurting and molesting him, but seeing his mom this week, he knew he had to be the son Luna Park needed. So, pushing back the horrid thoughts of his father, he let out a sigh.

"Mom… Where is Father?"

"Your father was murdered by a Lycan. He let us capture him… Berto is what the reports said when we went looking. He's in the dungeons," Luna Park said, not realizing how stiff her son had gotten.

Lycan Berto.

Lycan Agust.

Berto's Agust.

Agust's Berto.

Agust freed Berto.

Berto killed his father.

Agust killed his father.

Impossible, right?

"No…" Alpha Park whimpered as the thoughts of his violation two days ago crossed his mind again. The king had known the man, and had been a little too calm when he gave Berto a choice.

There had been a certain conversation that was stuck in his head, and he couldn't quite think of where he had heard it from. Of course, he figured it had been a figment of his brain, seeing as he had been assaulted by a Lycan.

But looking at his mom's face, Alpha Park didn't think it was a figment of his brain anymore. It was somewhat a truth that was staring right at him. The things that had happened were too cruel to be a coincidence.

"It can't be," Alpha Park said as he pulled back from his mom, almost tripping down the stairs as he tried to catch a breath. Learning about his father's death was supposed to be a relief, until he knew the one who had done it.

He had long hated his father but nothing justified an unwarranted murder of a former Alpha. The only person who could have done it was the same person he had cursed out. The one he had talked about was his father.

But was it really Agust or was his brain playing games with him?

"I will do anything you want me to. Please," Berto had said that night.

"Anything?" Agust had dared.

"Yes, your highness, anything," Berto had insisted.

"Well then. Go to Kiyoto pack, and take credit for the wolves I murdered there," Agust had said.

"Your father must have really been proud of you and who you have become," Alpha Park had said, and a table flew past his ears, making the Alpha shriek. 

***

The flashbacks weren't helping Alpha Park think straight, instead, they were tearing him apart, making him wonder if this was the fate he had, he had never thought that he would be this angry because someone took his father away from him.

Well, he wasn't mad really.

He was just annoyed that he had to witness his mother breakdown for losing the best thing that had apparently happened to her. Oh, but if only Jiminie shared his mother's sentiments.

"Wh… Why? Why did he kill Father?" Alpha Park asked even though it was a question to himself more than to his mom. 

He knew that there had to be some sick twisted reason that Berto had given, but the only one who could answer his question was the bastard Lycan king, the man who never did things just because he could. 

Agust was a strategist, an excellent one at that, but what strategy could have gotten him targeting the alpha's father? 

Alpha Park considered going back to the damned place to seek answers, but as he watched his mom watch him with sorrow in her eyes and defeat, he figured he would deal with that later.

"He said it was the only way to weaken an Alpha as strong as you, Mimi. That your father was your strength, and he needed to be eliminated," the luna said, as she sniffled and Alpha Park sighed. 

This couldn't be happening right now. 

Not when he had managed to come home freely.

'Was that why he let me go?' Alpha Park asked himself as he fell to the ground on his knees.

The man who saved him was the same one determined to ruin him.

What fate was this?
