Chapter Text
Seoul, the well-known capital city of South Korea; is more than just modern buildings and breathtaking skyscrapers. A lot more than beautiful environment or wide, neat streets, and might be hiding a lot of secrets that may freak people out if they ever found out about them.
Unbeknownst to those humans a hidden world mingles with them covertly, lives with them but remains behind the scenes; made sure to never be discovered. A world inhabited by supernatural powers, an entire universe which has certain strict rules to keep its creatures under control without being exposed.
The wolves..
For more than eight hundred years, Packs lived in harmony, following the traditions and rituals of their own kind, never dared to break one of the sacred rules that assured their safety and systematic peaceful life. Every wolf out there, whether it been living with humans or in the forests must belong to a pack; a huge gathering of wolves who live with each other, cares and protects one another.
And out of all, omegas were the most fragile, the weakest and the softest, they need protection and love that must be provided by their mates, Betas or Alphas.
Therefore, in order to keep delicate Omegas protected and well- loved; one of the most important rules and the most sacred out of all was sat for all their world to follow.. the Mating ritual.
Heats and Ruts aren’t just natural argues that might be taken easily.. an omega’s heat is an irresistible call to mate, and ruts are the urgent response for this call. And from there, those rules came in the first place, to let Alphas and Betas know they are responsible for their actions, because Omegas can’t control their bodies in heat while the dominants has such power; to keep themselves at bay, to never take advantage of vulnerable omegas who are blinded by their heats.
A mate means a lifetime partner, it’s a soul to cherish and a heart to love.
As to not let those values vanish, the Elders always made sure to never tolerate any violation or disrespect towards this particular ritual. No one is allowed to break the rules of mating or go against it, even the highest ranks are forced to follow these rules. Wolves mating is one of the things that differentiate them from humans, because according to all packs; humans’ world is soiled with filthy desires, humans are creatures who prefers freedom over commitments, they for sure lost the true meaning of life.
Which is devotion to your mate, a dedication to one pack and all the responsibilities that surely come with this.
Jungkook managed to dodge Namjoon’s strong blow, he rounded his best friend so fast and sank his sharp canines in the other alpha’s tail from behind dragging him to the ground in the process, successfully trapping him under his huge paws, growling loudly at his best friend, eyes feral and deep red.
Under such dominance shown by an alpha like Jungkook, Namjoon had no other choice but to submit, whining at the back of his throat and baring his neck in submission.
Jungkook satisfied with his fellow alpha behavior backed away a little and growled softly, coming back to his usual self around his best friend.
Jungkook is a magnificent wolf, he will dwarf any other normal wolf compared to him. White fur, shines under the sun like diamonds, huge in size and with the most breathtaking pair of eyes, sharp and always very red.
And in human form, he is even more handsome, long black hair wrapped in a leather ribbon, showing his utterly handsome face and manly features, wide and sharp eyes, always with a shade of ruby red hanging in their pupils’ edges.
He has a masculine body, wide shoulders, firm chest and defined abs. veiny strong hands and tall frame. Maybe his looks are really intimidating but the most fascinating thing about the next head alpha is his personality.
Jungkook is a proud alpha, dominant and very strong, he is collected and usually kind but can be really fierce and out of control if the situation requires that. Jungkook undoubtedly is a unique and extremely desired alpha in their pack.
Namjoon panted once they transferred to their human form, he grinned tiredly at his friend and patted his shoulder.
“You are so strong Jungkook, I’m kind of envious you know! No matter how many fights we have, you almost always win.” Jungkook smiled at his friend and shook his head sheepishly.
“You are also strong hyung, don’t doubt yourself, now let’s go and clean ourselves.”
Both alphas laughed and hit each other playfully not paying attention to the admiring eyes of their pack omegas and a few Betas. they are enjoying this opportunity to be free from their hectic life in the city, them being in their wolf form is heaven, because all stress and negative thoughts would dissolve alongside sweat and labored breaths as they fought like the wild animals they really are.
They are one of those huge packs who mingled with humans and worked in the city while maintained living in the forests at the same time. And Jungkook's father as the head alpha of their pack is a chairman of a multimillionaire company, who had employed a lot of his pack members -Alphas and Betas only- in this company, while omegas and a few betas stayed in the huts where their pack resides a bit far away from the city, hidden in the deep forests.
Working with humans and expansing their business is an important thing to keep themselves hidden and far from prying eyes, strengthening their financial status as well.
The whole pack lived faraway from Seoul, going back to their huts every day, gathering to discuss everything related to their lives, business and alliances with other packs every night. Occasionally fighting and running in their other form, with alphas and some betas showing their strength in front of other members of the pack, especially omegas; like a show of dominance.
However, even though Jungkook is the strongest, he isn’t interested in this game of power nor willing to search for a mate at the time being, the same can't be said about his best friend Namjoon who goes all heart eyes once he catches a gust of the sweet scent that belongs to none other than Seokjin, a really pretty but strong omega unlike others.
The thing is Seokjin isn't interested in Namjoon the least bit, and this is the reason why Jungkook is laughing so hard at the moment. Namjoon like the dork he is was sending waves of love and inviting pheromones to Seokjin who was standing not so far away from them, watching alongside other omegas from their pack how the alphas fight. But the feisty omega only rolled his beautiful eyes and gave him a judging glare before walking away to his family’s hut, ignoring the poor and now pouting alpha altogether.
Jungkook chuckled softly and gave his friend an encouraging look and patted his back before he transferred to his wolf form again heading to his secret haven, a bit far away river where he showered once in a while when the alpha feels himself in need of fresh water and calm environment, especially in nights like this one, cold and so quiet.
The alpha threw himself into the river, transforming midair to his human form and diving gracefully into the water.
When Jungkook deemed himself clean and relaxed enough to leave the water, he left the streaming river and stood at the shore, inhaling the fresh air and smiling at the shining moon, the forest’s sounds putting his mind at ease….
Until his nose caught a breathtaking scent the young alpha never smelled before, his eyes widened and turned bloody red in a flash, there is a call for him out there behind the bushes, Jungkook’s body was responding to this scent like a magnet, a huge bulge already formed between the alpha’s legs, short deep breaths coming out in puffs as the alpha felt himself getting out of control!
What’s happening to him..?
it’s not the first time he caught an omega in heat scent, but this is different! This sweet and fascinating scent, a sugary soft one that Jungkook swears he can taste it on his tongue.
The alpha growled and heaved a deep breath inhaling more of this irresistible wonderful smell, his pupils are dilated and his body already in wolf form and running so fast, following this addicting call of Mating in a dazed state, totally bewitched to think straight. All he knows is that he needs to find the owner of this scent now.
He howls, his body and mind already went into powerful rut, all he thought of is Mate, Mate I’m coming.
Taehyung writhed on his small and worn-out mattress, groaning in pain and panting pathetically in his small hand-made hut, whining in the darkness of this cold night, he doesn’t know why he is being tortured by this particular heat or why his fate keeps playing with him like that.
All he knows is that for the last few years of his life, he had been facing danger after another, living his day void of any contact with any creature, tending for himself and fighting to protect himself in this harsh world with no one beside him.
Lonely and unimportant, he doesn’t have anyone… doesn’t need anyone.
Always lived alone, he kept changing his location every few months, afraid to be discovered, because it is a strange sight to see a loner wolf living alone without a pack to belong to; especially an omega like him. He knows he should search for one, a pack that would take him in but Taehyung learned his lesson the hard way; never let your guard down, never let anyone be close to you and never trust anyone.
The last time he did that five years back, it costed him his only brother when they thought a certain pack would take them in and protect them but it turned out the other way around and since then Taehyung preferred solitude over anything in this world.
The downside of this life of solitude are the heats..
The poor omega had to go through them alone.. But this time his heat is so intense, so strong it leaves him whimpering in pain at the flames burning his insides, no matter how much he tried his fingers weren’t enough, they aren’t what he needs right now. He has been living in the small hut he made in this place for two weeks now and his heat strikes him with full force before he could prepare himself for it, and since he didn’t have any mate to help him through his heats until now, they grew more intense and painful.
Taehyung utterly frustrated tried again, shoving his fingers inside his soaking entrance pumping them in and out, brushing them against his sweet spot until he came, shuddering violently with more slick sliding down his smooth delicate legs and soaking the thin mattress, the omega cried angrily when the fires inside him weren’t sated the least bit, he moaned and cried, releasing inviting pheromones unconsciously, calling anyone out there to help him.
The poor omega is gasping for air, his eyes turned golden and his naked beautiful body glistening with sweat, his legs spread wide, his pink small and virgin hole clinching around nothing and releasing more and more fluids in need for a huge knot.
And that’s when the stubble door of his small hut was flung open, sending it to the ground, revealing a tall intimidating and handsome alpha who was panting harshly and growling loudly in his throat, his eyes red and his knot already hanging heavy at the base of his monster length.
“Alpha … Please Alpha”
The omega whimpered and spread his legs wider, more tears sliding down his soft flushed cheeks, his hands automatically reaching for the alpha in rut in front of him. At the omega scent and the sight of his fluttering delicious hole Jungkook lost control then and there, jumping between the beautiful stranger golden legs and giving the other what he asked for.
Loud growls and high-pitched moans filled the small worn out hut, endless calls of “Alpha… alpha” fell out immensely of Taehyung’s red swollen lips, a pure raw need to be knotted blurred the omega in heat mind. All Taehyung could think of is the powerful scent filling his nostrils and numbing his brain until nothing else matters but the monstrous thrusts inside of him.
The omega cried and clutched on the wide shoulders of the alpha above him for dear life, he buried his nose in the thick neck and screamed when the alpha groaned and his knot was caught inside Taehyung’s tight warm hole, swelling impossibly larger, rubbing against the omega sweet spot driving them both to unbelievable ecstasy. Their minds hazy and vision blacked out in frenzy leaving them both in a delirium state.
Jungkook grunted and growled once his knot pulsed reaching its maximum size, his canines dripping and showing as he inhaled the breathtaking scent of his mate, his instinctual desire completely taking over his rational brain fueled by the lewd sounds and screams of the beautiful omega underneath him, who wrapped his limbs around the much bigger frame of Jungkook above him.
The alpha growled and harshly sank his canines in the smooth skin of the omega's slender neck, his knot releasing ropes and ropes of cum inside the twitching tight walls, shooting directly into the omega awaiting womb.
Taehyung released not long after, the huge knot inside of him drove him to the edge and he came, screaming and mindlessly tightening his hold on his mate when the bite on his neck felt like electricity shooting inside his trembling body.
Both panting, Jungkook withdrew from the other neck and licked the wound just above the juncture of Taehyung's neck, lapping at the wound and growling possessively once he felt the bond already forming between them.
He pressed their open mouths on each other, kissing the omega so hard, sucking his tongue and bruising Taehyung's lips with harsh bites. Jungkook brain went blank and his heart soared in the skies. The omega cried and kissed back just as hard when he felt his mate’s knot still pulsing inside him.
Both panting and gasping for air, still clinging to each other as the euphoria of the minute started to vanish, and their minds began to clear out. Taehyung slowly woke up, feeling a bit sated for now, his eyes widening instantly.
Jungkook felt Just like waking up from a long dream, his senses finally regaining control over his body and dread came crawling up when he realized what he had done.
The sight in front of him knocked the air out of his lungs, his heart started to beat erratically and his arms trembling from where they were hugging the omega to himself. He slowly turned his head to the side, dread clawing at his heart when he saw the mating mark on the omega neck.
Shallow breaths left Taehyung’s tightening lungs and tears formed rapidly in his eyes, this is what he was afraid of his whole life, giving himself to anyone out there in a moment of vulnerability and weakness.
His body is shaking and he gulped his saliva, he didn’t know what to do and his heart is wailing at the moment, the omega hated himself for being so weak to present himself just like that to a stranger.
Jungkook despite regret pulling at his heart, felt the sadness and panic state the omega was in, he tried to compose himself and calm his crazily beating heart. He loosened his arms around the omega, the knot still locking them together, he maneuvered them to lay on their sides until the knot shrinks back, with him behind the stranger omega.
Jungkook kept cursing himself for being reckless, he never was this careless his whole life, and look what happened now.
Tiny whimpers spilled from the omega lips and his body is shaking like a leaf, the heat still numbing his senses to think rationally. Both feeling like their world came crashing down, because they knew what the bite on the omega neck meant, they are stuck together, whether they liked this or not.
Once the omega heat seemed to wear off and his sweet scent became a bit dull, the alpha didn’t waste a second in throwing his pants on when his knot size returned to normal allowing him to pull out of the omega hole, he left the hut early in the morning not caring about the naked sleeping omega or anything related to him, his frantic mind refusing to believe what had happened in the last three days. He felt so lost and sad.
Jungkook gritted his teeth in frustration, he remembered how he stayed with the omega for three days, because his heat would hit him again every now and then and Jungkook had to go into ruts forcefully, since the omega is his mate now, his body would respond to the other argues naturally.
The days passed in a haze, both of them felt like floating in a dream, they mated again and again, every time the omega was satisfied enough he drifts to sleep without him realizing that, leaving Jungkook cursing and so confused. He doesn’t even know the omega name yet or anything about him and here they are mated for life.
The alpha felt dread and regret eating him alive, he threw himself in the river and took a hurried bath, his mind refusing to forget what had occurred until now. He angrily growled and shifted to his wolf form, heading back to their village.
he ran and ran fighting against the bond that’s pulling him back to where his mate is, what should he tell his pack once they smell the scent clinging to him?he is now a mated wolf and the combined scent of him and his mate will accompany him wherever he goes now.
The whole pack sensed the change in their future alpha scent, Jungkook could feel their eyes piercing him, all heads are turned to him when he walked like the proud alpha he is to his parents hut, he tried to ignore the surprised gasps of his pack members as he passed them, it took forever until he reached the biggest hut in the clearing. The head alpha house, his parents hut.
Jungkook found his father glaring at him at the doorstep, he bowed slightly in respect to the head alpha and stood in front of his father.
“Jungkook..”
“Hello Father“
Both locked their eyes, Jungkook refusing to submit in fear under the head alpha dominant aura, his father's red eyes are flaring with rage, he undoubtedly recognized what his son had done, just by looking at him. And as all wolves around the world knew, he must take responsibility for his actions.
“follow me.”
The head alpha ordered and Jungkook complied, already knowing what’s waiting for him.
The door to the elders council was swung open and Namjoon bowed to the head alpha, his eyes are confused looking at his friend worriedly, but Jungkook smiled a little assuring his friend that everything will be alright.
He already made his mind to take responsibility of the stranger omega, his honor and pride are on the line and he must let the whole pack know that he isn’t a reckless pup but the future head alpha. As he sat in front of his father and the elders, Jungkook didn’t like the look on their wrinkled faces. But managed to collect himself and bowed a little.
“Jungkook we are truthfully disappointed at the reckless behavior of the future head alpha of this pack. A sudden and unplanned mating based on animalistic desires is a shameful act that hurts precious omegas, you are to reflect to your action and bring the omega you had mated to our pack. There will be no toleration to the violation of the mating ritual, you must redeem yourself and your position in this pack.”
The eldest wolf in their pack declared the council judgment, their hard features and judging gazes emphasizing the finality of their decision.
“I’m to take responsibility of my mate and I will prove my eligibility to be the future head alpha of our pack. “
Jungkook bowed and waited for the elders to dismiss him, once he left the elders council Jungkook felt his heart shattering into pieces, because of his stupid behavior, the pack is doubting him and his place as their future alpha. He must prove to them that he is worth of their trust and he will do anything even if this mating is unplanned for.
With that in mind Jungkook shifted back to his wolf and ran to where he left the omega, his mate. He is determined to keep his pride no matter what.
Taehyung wiped a falling tear and curled even more to himself in the corner of his small hut, his heat broke free and he woke up this morning feeling like a bear had teared his body apart. He felt so exhausted and his body and mind are tired and unsettled, a freshly mated omega needs the assurance and presence of his mate after their mating unlike alphas.
Omegas are fragile and would literally die of sadness if their mates refused them after their mating, Taehyung knows that and his tears fell again silently. If he was a member of a pack like all wolves around the world, no one would dare to take advantage of his weak state, he would be protected and loved, he would be mated to a loving alpha who respect him and take care of him.
He curled to himself and hugged his knees to his chest, burying his face in his arms.
What if the stranger alpha told his pack about him? A loner omega wandering alone in the forests unguarded and in heat?
What if he decided to kill Taehyung to get rid of him after he used his body?
What if he didn’t do anything but disappeared leaving Taehyung after he mated him?
Taehyung whimpered, his soul screams in sadness, he caressed his neck where the mating mark is throbbing, the bond between them is puzzled and restless. He couldn’t sense his mate through their bond and that means only one thing; his alpha refusal to this mating...!
The miserable omega didn’t know how much time had passed with him swimming in his thoughts but suddenly he was startled when the door to his small hut was opened slowly, revealing the tall handsome alpha who is now his mate. Much like the night they mated, his eyes are red and his intimidating aura triggering Taehyung to submit to the alpha.
Feeling a little frightened, Taehyung curled on himself even more and whimpered again. He doesn’t know what the alpha is up to.
But to his surprise the other walked confidently to where he is and crouched in front of him. the omega on reflex backed away a little, not trusting the stranger.
“What’s your name?”
The deep husky voice of the alpha nearly sent Taehyung into heat again. He vaguely remembered the other growls and groans as they mated but this is the first time he hears the alpha voice when he speaks.
“Ta-taehyung..”
“I’m Jungkook, I’m here to assure you that you’ll be taken care of and well-respected. I know what had transpired between us was unplanned but I’m willing to take responsibility as your mate.”
Jungkook wanted so badly to undo everything happened between them but managed to keep his face blank and void of any emotion, he rolled his eyes when a faint blush tainted the omega's cheeks despite the tiny whimpers.
The memories of the past three days came rushing back to Taehyung mind, it’s true he doesn’t love his mate, and maybe even hates him but that doesn’t mean these words and Jungkook’s presence didn’t affect him and make Taehyung's exhaustion and sadness less than before.
It’s strange how the other's presence managed to sooth him a little.
“uh.. ok.”
Taehyung mentally slapped himself, he didn’t know what to say, and this answer was the dumbest answer in the history of dumb answers.
Jungkook smiled briefly, the omega is somehow adorable, but of course Jungkook didn’t acknowledge this fact and focused on the problem in hands.
"Alright.. please prepare yourself and take your belongings with you, we will live together from now on, I hope you don’t mind.”
Taehyung was dumbfounded, he felt fear suddenly enveloping his heart. A series of what ifs playing in his mind. He always lived alone and the idea of living under the same roof as this alpha made him feel prisoned and terrified .
Sensing the fear of the omega, Jungkook sighed and massaged his temple.This situation is slowly driving him insane. He keeps asking himself what was he thinking when he followed the omega’s scent that night? He is so stupid!
“We need to leave immediately, my pack is waiting for us. You must know there is no place for refusal here, it’s the mating ritual. We must live together.”
Jungkook said impatiently, a finality in the hard tone of his voice.
“I’ll be waiting outside.”
The alpha walked out of the small hut, he rubbed his face in irritation and tried to calm himself down. As he waited outside, he noticed and for the first time that his mate is living alone! Where’s his pack?
It’s a rare occasion to see a wolf living alone, and an omega on top of that!
Jungkook sighed and shook his head, that doesn’t matter now, it’s none of his business what the omega is doing with his life. All he could think of at this moment is his pack and the look of disappointment on his father’s face.
