Chapter Text
Taehyung knew they would be attacked tonight. He saw the same black wolf that he had been seeing all month peering at him while he bathed in the river. For a split second, they made eye contact, the first time since Taehyung first noticed the beast skulking around his pack’s territory.
In that second, Taehyung found something. He didn’t know how, but something about the creature screamed authority. He was no lone wolf. He was powerful and he was staking out territory he wished to claim for himself. That must mean that his pack was nearby too, skirting the perimeter, checking defenses, readying for an attack.
If Taehyung was a good omega, he would warn his pack. But he wasn’t. He was barely an omega. What kind of omega didn’t have heats or couldn’t bear pups? Taehyung was only allowed to live with them was because he cared for the packs pups’ during the day.
They used him for other purposes at night.
He dipped his bruised arm into the cold water flowing past him. He was weary of looking at his own broken body. He hoped that when this rival pack made their move they would end his suffering swiftly.
He was tired. His welcome in the pack was wearing thin as each year passed after his father's death. The pups were growing old enough to learn who he was and turned disrespectful toward him, with the exception of Yoongi, who refused to speak ever since his parents died during a hunt.
Taehyung smiled at the thought of the little orphan pup who clung to him. Yoongi was the only reason Taehyung hadn’t given up yet. Even now as he bathed, Yoongi sat at the riverbank, braiding the grass and waiting patiently. He hoped this rival pack would be kind to children, or at the very least, that their cruelty would be swift.
The last of the sun’s rays dipped low on the horizon, signaling to Taehyung that it was time to return to the pack, lest he receive another beating for missing curfew. He could spend the evening trying to rustle up a meal for him and Yoongi with the scraps he had left in his pantry.
The alphas called for him less frequently now. There were younger, fertile omegas available and Taehyung was terrible company, with his impassive face and lifeless body. He suffered less because of it but it also meant that supplies became scarce. He wondered how he and Yoongi would last the winter.
He stepped out of the river, basking in the last of the sunshine for a minute before wrapping himself in a robe and picking up the pup. He made his way down river to the pack settlement. Every now and again he caught a flash of red in the trees, it seemed like the wolf was venturing further today - Taehyung must be right about the attack.
“It’s a damn shame I can’t fuck my pups into you,” a voice jeered at him.
Taehyung ignored him and kept walking, clutching Yoongi tighter to his chest. The alpha’s picked on him often and he was usually fine if he ignored them.
“Look at me when I’m talking to you, bitch,” the alpha grabbed Taehyung’s arm, right over his bruise, causing him to cry out in pain.
“What do you want, Kyungmin?” Taehyung hissed out, trying to free himself.
Yoongi whimpered and hid his face in Taehyung’s chest.
“Fucking hell, I forget what a nice face you have sometimes,” Kyungmin smirked. “Come over to mine tonight?”
“No, let me go!”
“Why not?” Kyungmin’s smirk was replaced with a sneer. “You need the money. There ain’t no alpha who would court you. This is the only way you have to live, ‘specially if you keep toting that little orphan around.”
Taehyung bit his lip, but stopped struggling.
“Come to me twice a week and I’ll take you and this runt through winter,” Kyungmin crooned. “C’mon Tae, it’s a good deal.”
Taehyung let his arm hang in Kyungmin’s grasp. He was right. It was a good deal. Far better than any alpha ever offered Taehyung before. If this rival pack failed, or worse, didn’t attack at all, Taehyung would still have to face a long, cold winter with no alpha.
Kyungmin wasn’t even his last choice, but it was the only one he had right now. Taehyung nodded in agreement.
Pleased, Kyungmin ruffled Yoongi’s hair, “That’s a good boy. Get some rest before showing up. I’m in pre-rut.”
Kyungmin stalked off, leaving Taehyung alone again. He sighed. No wonder Kyungmin’s pheromones were all over the place. He should have known he would get screwed over eventually. An alpha in rut was ten times as cruel.
Taehyung would wake up with bruises and bites littering his body, hole sore and spend drying along his thighs. Sometimes he worried he would wake and find a mating bite on his neck, but it seemed like even an alpha in the mindlessness of a rut knew better than to mate an infertile omega and his skin remained unmarred.
Sometimes, he wondered if his father blessed or cursed him by giving him the herbs that brought about his infertility that night. The pack alpha - a good, kind leader - was assassinated by the current leader and Taehyung’s father was one of the wolves who was killed alongside him.
Before he left their hut, Taehyung’s father shoved the herbs into his son’s hand.
“Taehyung, if I don’t come back, eat this quickly. It will spare you from a fate worse than death!”
Taehyung waited all night for his father to return, hiding under the bed. When the front door was booted open, Taehyung shoved the herbs into his mouth and swallowed. He was immediately consumed with a burning fever for three days and when he woke he was alone and infertile, and the pack was under new leadership.
An alpha tried to claim him once, but after two years with no heat, he was kicked out and sent back to the dilapidated hut that used to be his home. And so time passed, cruel winters and scorching summers, surviving on scraps and using his body to make ends meet.
Taehyung hurried past the bonfire, hoping that no one else would call out to him or hurl insults at him. He wanted to spend the little time he had left before he had to go to Kyungmin’s hut with Yoongi.
With an unusual stroke of luck, the alphas seemed too occupied over a large deer they brought down during the day’s hunt to pay attention to him and Taehyung slipped by easily. He shut the door behind him quickly and took a deep breath.
Yoongi peeked up at him with his round eyes and Taehyung kissed the pups cheek affectionately, “Hungry, pup?”
Yoongi nodded enthusiastically.
“Can you say “Yes, I’m hungry.”?” Taehyung asked.
Yoongi blinked at him owlishly.
“Can you give me a hug?” Taehyung asked.
Yoongi flung his arms around him. Taehyung giggled softly and carried the pup to their kitchen. It was only used for storage since they couldn’t afford meat anyway and had no alpha to chop wood for the stove.
Taehyung rooted around the small chest, pulling out an apple, some stale bread and a few mushrooms he picked in the forest yesterday. He handed Yoongi the mushrooms and bread and cut the apple into two, keeping only half for himself.
Hopefully it would be enough to tide him over until Kyungmin’s first payment. Taehyung could visit the market first thing in the morning and buy some food. For now, it was enough that Yoongi ate his fill.
Taehyung was broken from his thoughts by Yoongi patting his knee lightly. They sat side-by-side on the kitchen floor munching on their paltry rations.
“What is it, Yoongi?” Taehyung asked.
Yoongi handed him a half bitten mushroom. Taehyung’s stomach burned and he fought back tears. He pushed it back to the pup gently.
“I’m alright, sweet boy.”
They spent the next hour playing with the dolls that Taehyung carved from wood for Yoongi. The pup giggled happily and ran around the small hut. When it got dark, Taehyung lit the wick of a small clay lamp and they stared at the flame until Yoongi dozed off in his arms.
Taehyung sat there watching the flame until the oil was consumed. When the flame flickered out, he rose to lay Yoongi down in their nest. It was time. The dread that consumed him was not unfamiliar but seemed worse than usual.
Deep down, Taehyung hoped that it would be over by now. He hoped that the rival pack would attack and end them all so he didn’t have to go to Kyungmin. He hoped he would die tonight so that his suffering could end.
He brushed Yoongi’s hair away from his eyes and leaned down to kiss his forehead. That’s when he heard it.
Loud screams and growls penetrated the air. Viscous snarls and the sound of flesh and skin ripping and tearing surrounded the hut. Taehyung grabbed Yoongi and crawled under the bed. Luckily, the pup remained asleep.
It went on for around half an hour. Vulgarities and loud crying sounded closer and closer until it was right outside. Taehyung covered Yoongi’s ears and bit his lip to keep from sobbing. He was scared.
How strange. This is what he wanted after all. It was odd that he could still fear for a life that he didn’t want.
Taehyung’s heart pounded so loudly in his chest he was sure that he would be discovered and later he wondered if that was how the wolf found him.
Much like the night his father died, the door to the hut was flung open. Taehyung held Yoongi close.
Loud thumping noises indicated that the wolf was approaching and it knew exactly where Taehyung was. The moonlight shining through the open door allowed Taehyung to see the shaggy fur and huge paws of the wolf. It bent down and found him, red eyes piercing in the darkness.
Taehyung was frozen in place, heart pounding and shivering violently. The wolf growled low and jerked its head to the side, as if to tell Taehyung to get out. He obeyed and crawled out from under the bed on shaky knees. It watched his every move attentively.
Leaning closer, it nuzzled its enormous snout against Yoongi’s head, then gestured to the nest on the bed. Confused, Taehyung finally found his voice.
“I - I don’t understand.”
Impatient, the wolf opened its mouth, flashing its sharp teeth and Taehyung felt his stomach lurch. In his fear, and against the dark coat of fur, the blood was almost invisible. It dripped steadily from the beast’s maw, pooling on the ground and soaking into the fabric of Taehyung’s pants where he knelt.
It latched its mouth around Yoongi’s body and Taehyung yelled and screamed and thrashed against its muscular side with his fist. The wolf ignored him and deposited Yoongi gently onto the nest. Dropping his fists, Taehyung quietened down and watched in confusion.
The wolf, definitely an alpha, nosed at Taehyung’s side and pushed him gently. Taehyung, hardly believing any of this was real, stared at him dumbly. The alpha whined and nudged him again. Eventually, it opened its mouth and Taehyung realized that it planned on giving him the same treatment as Yoongi, so he got to his feet quickly.
It was terrifying at eye level. The wolf was as large as Taehyung was tall, and exuded a powerful aura. It pushed Taehyung out of the hut. With stumbling feet, he stepped out of the door, mouth dropping at the sight before him.
A massacre.
Taehyung covered his mouth with a hand as the bile rose in his gut. Bodies surrounded the hut in various states of gore. Arms were ripped off, organs spilled out of chest cavities, and heads lay detached from their bodies.
The wolf pushed him closer and Taehyung swallowed to keep the little food he had eaten inside. He recognized the dead. It was the pack members who would taunt and use him. The same people who would spit at his feet as he walked by and use his body until he couldn’t move.
Every single one of them lay dead at his feet.
There was Youngjae, who used him every night for a week then refused to bring him any food or supplies, decapitated in a pool of blood. Beside him was Myunghee, a cocky beta who was particularly cruel during their nights together. And directly in front of the door to his hut, body battered and bruised, was Kyungmin.
A rough, warmth laved over his cheek and Taehyung turned to see the wolf looking at him, almost expectantly.
It licked him.
Taehyung blinked at it in astonishment, “...Why?”
The wolf’s gaze was heated and Taehyung’s entire body felt like it was on fire.
The sound of footsteps and sobbing broke the trance and Taehyung watched as the rest of the pack was herded out by various wolves he did not recognize. They were all healthy and strong, with glossy coats and muscular limbs.
One of the wolves, fully black, slunk over to them and Taehyung’s companion growled loudly in warning. The wolf yipped, sounding annoyed, and then glanced at Taehyung. The wolf beside him stepped in front of Taehyung to hide him from view. The other beast huffed and ran off.
The last of the pack and the rival wolf tribe disappeared from view. They were alone.
The wolf turned to Taehyung, entering his space, breathing heavier than before, its eyes flashing dangerously.
“Why?” Taehyung dared to ask again, the whisper of his voice almost lost in the night.
The wolf licked his face again and nudged him forcefully. Taehyung fell onto his backside, a sudden realization taking over.
“No!”
The wolf’s patience was worn thin, it grabbed Taehyung with his mouth, and turned him over. The warmth of its breath against his body made him shiver in fright. He tried to crawl away but the wolf gripped onto the back of his pants and ripped it off his body.
“Ahh!” Taehyung tried to turn around and cover himself, but the wolf pressed one large paw against his back and shoved him face first into the ground. Taehyung whimpered and buried his face in his forearms.
The wolf’s rough tongue licked the backs of his thighs, making his skin erupt into goose bumps from the sensation. Taehyung bit his lip and closed his eyes tightly.
This wasn’t the worst thing that had ever happened to him, but he still felt a level of betrayal. Why was this happening? This wolf killed every member of the pack who ever wronged Taehyung, but he was wronging him too.
Just what did he want? How did he know who to target? How long was he watching?
“Oh!” Taehyung gasped.
The wolf let out an approving sound when the scent of Taehyung’s slick reached its nose and slipped its tongue between Taehyung’s ass to lap at the leaking rim.
“Oh my god!” Taehyung arched back instinctively.
What was going on with his body? He was never vocal and submission was only ever done out of necessity, but the wolf’s tongue was skilled, circling his entrance and loosening the tight ring of muscle.
Its sharp claws dug into Taehyung’s back, tearing his skin slightly, but the heavy weight pinning him down only made his small cock stiffer. Maybe it was the heavy pheromones, or the fact that Taehyung couldn’t help but still feel grateful to the beast.
In a way, it had saved him, and maybe this was what it wanted as repayment. Taehyung surrendered and allowed himself to relax into the touch. No longer struggling, his hole relaxed and the wolf grew ravenous, slurping his slick and lapping his skin with broad licks.
Taehyung brought himself to his knees and arched his back, presenting. The wolf paused, breathing heavy, then howled loudly. The heat from its body was suffocating and Taehyung was sweaty under its weight, coated in slick and saliva.
His hips trembled when he felt the blunt, heated head of the wolf’s engorged cock nudge his rim.
“Ngh,” Taehyung moaned in pain as the beast tried to force its length inside him. “Hurts…”
The weight on his back eased momentarily. The beast sunk its claws into the ground on either side of Taehyung’s head, digging into the earth for grip. The entirety of its underbelly pressed against him, flush against his body.
It rutted against him desperately, sliding the enormous length back and forth between Taehyung’s ass, coating it in his slick. Taehyung felt like his ass would never return back to its normal resting position, the cock so large it would surely alter the shape of his body.
But he had no choice - the beast was almost feral. Its pace increased, rubbing along his sensitive hole while it latched onto the back of his neck lightly, holding him in position.
The bulbous head caught on his gaping hole a few times, and Taehyung tried his best to relax his body under the monstrous weight of the wolf, until finally, the wide girth breached his tight channel and pounded inside.
Taehyung screamed and thrashed, it felt like he was being split open, but the wolf gave him no respite and immediately began pumping into him mercilessly. The sounds were obscene. Taehyung’s hole gushed slick to accommodate the sizable cock, squelching with each brutal thrust.
The wolf huffed and whined above him, lost in the sensation, pounding into Taehyung so deeply he could feel the tip kiss his womb again and again. Taehyung himself was louder than he ever was before, screaming in pain when the thickest part of the wolf’s cock stretched his hole open and moaning with pleasure when his insides were rubbed incessantly.
He was teetering between two extremes as the wolf took him, on the verge of blacking out and orgasming at the same time, both pushing the other forward and simultaneously holding the other back. The wolf whimpered and its rhythm faltered.
Taehyung tried to prepare himself but nothing he could have done would help - the alpha’s knot stretched him almost to his breaking point. Tears spilled down his cheeks as the beast impaled him over and over again until the knot was too swollen to remove and they were stuck together.
Still, the wolf rutted inside him desperately. Without the momentary break of the wolf pulling out, Taehyung’s walls received constant stimulation, rubbing all his sensitive spots back and forth. Colors danced in his vision and the wolf must have sensed his impending orgasm because it quickened its aborted thrusts the best it could until Taehyung’s release broke through.
He spilled onto the ground where his cock was trapped under his body, his hole seizing around the wolf’s cock so tightly it barked and bit onto his shoulder. Taehyung could barely feel the pain of the bite. He was euphoric. He clenched ceaselessly as wave after wave of pleasure consumed him, gripping the alpha’s length tightly.
“Ahhh…” he moaned, dizzy, blacking out just as the first ropes of come painted his insides.
