“Commander!”

Jungkook groaned. Jimin smiled. Until someone called for Jungkook, the alpha was lying on Jimin’s lap, the latter’s fingers combing his long black strands. Jimin knew Jungkook loved these moments just like how he cherished them. His lap was a home for Jungkook while the alpha’s chest provided him warmth.

“Gotta go. Shit. Wanted to spend more time with you Minnie..”

“It’s ok. Go. You can’t miss your duties”

“But I can miss my favorite beta? Unfair.”

“Just favorite beta? I thought I’m your favorite of all wolves.”

 Jungkook stood up facing Jimin and put his hands in his pants pockets. His six feet height, broad shoulders and masculine figure took Jimin’s whole attention. His eyes still remained on Jimin while he was walking backwards, his lips curling into a grin that sent a burning sensation down Jimin’s spine.

Jimin wanted an answer for what he asked and Jungkook also knew that he waited for one, for the alpha to admit that Jimin wasn’t just his favorite among betas but all wolves. Yet the mischievous smile the alpha had, told Jimin he wouldn’t be answering. Jungkook winked before disappearing from the beta’s sight.

Jimin sighed, took his bottom lip between teeth and covered his face with his palms. Blood rushed to his face and he squealed. Did Jungkook really have to be so hot? So big and so flirty? So handsome and so kind, talented?

And..

So mine?

The thought, the one word–­ mine– was enough for Jimin’s smile to leave his lips. He laid back on the grass field and closed his eyes. Something shattered inside his chest. His throat burned and the hotness traveled through his veins until he couldn’t bear it. He blinked fast and stood up like an arrow released from a bow. Then he started walking towards the stream a few feet away and sat on a rock soaking his bare feet in the water like it would help him cool down.

Jungkook isn’t mine.

Jungkook.. he is not mine.

The coldness might have helped him since a small smile took over his lips. His mind traveled back in time to their childhood. Jungkook’s father was the pack alpha who passed away a few years ago. Since Namjoon, Jungkook’s brother was the eldest, he became the next leader leaving Jungkook to be the commander of their warriors. Jimin saw and was there through every step of Jungkook’s life as they were friends since the birth.

Their mothers had given birth to them in the same week, making them take care of their kids together. Jimin and Jungkook grew up like brothers, like best friends.

So Jimin always thought Jungkook was his.

That he was Jungkook’s.

They even called each other’s arms their home so could anyone blame Jimin?

Maybe he should have known where to draw the line. He was a beta. Their pack didn’t treat betas bad but alphas always ended up with omegas. It was the law established by mother nature. Jungkook was an alpha and Jimin was just a beta. It didn’t matter until Jimin realized in his eyes, Jungkook wasn’t just his best friend anymore. He found inhaling the alphas scent more, finding his warmth more, pouting even more when the alpha didn’t give him enough attention.

The worst thing was Jungkook never showed him any interest as a potential lover, a mate.

Jimin sighed again.

Jungkook was not just handsome. He was kind. He even respected pups unlike other alphas. Everyone loved him and Jimin.. he was just another one in the line who wanted to be Jungkook’s. He wasn’t anything special.

* * *

Everything was burning. Ash swirled with the wind taking away the happiness of their pack. Pups were crying, begging it to be stopped. Growls, howls, screams spread through the pack lands as it was burning down to the ground. Once beautiful home was now becoming a hell, fire spreading everywhere.

Jimin was a beta. A pack warrior.

While alphas had shifted to their wolf forms and were fighting with the attackers, betas helped omegas to run away with the pups. They collected things as much as they could and took the path that led to their hidden den secured by the pack alphas. Jimin’s hand was bleeding, caught up with a fallen cabin while trying to help some omegas. Yet it didn’t hurt. Seeing innocent little pups crying hurt him more, seeing how Jungkook was fighting with a rogue hurt more.

How scary life can be..

A second they were going on with their life. The next second a howl of their pack warriors were heard followed by screams. Then a pack of rogues were attacking their village. How did the fire start? He didn’t wait to think.

Jimin took a breath after the betas helped with the final omega to escape. That's when something suddenly blasted behind their back making them all thrown away and fall on the ground with the force. The landing was harsh, painful. The sound made Jimin’s ears drum until all he could hear was white noise. His body ached. Fear swallowed him whole until a familiar warmth engulfed him. Soft black fur tickled his neck. A warm, wet tongue lapped his cheek while a soft growl drummed behind his back. Jimin knew he was going to lose consciousness but he wasn’t scared anymore.

Jungkook was here.

* * *

Jimin opened his eyes slowly. Familiar warmth was still around him but this time it was skin instead of fur. He nuzzled into Jungkook’s neck inhaling his favorite Sandalwood smell. The alpha tightened his grip around his waist scenting him nuzzling the top of his head.

“You were so fast. One second you were in the middle of the pack fighting and the next, you were hiding me from the fire..” Jimin whispered. He was scared of the white noise when he fainted, fearing he might have lost his hearing ability but he was fine now. Jungkook was fine.

“I’ll always be there for you Minnie. You know it.”

Jimin knew it. And it warmed his heart. His skin burned around his waist where Jungkook was holding him. A fluttering feeling settled in his stomach when he realized Jungkook was still scenting him. Fighting a pack of rogues while stopping a fire from spreading was hard. It was more difficult for Jungkook as the commander, the next in the line to the pack alpha’s position. Everyone had expectations of him yet he chose to save Jimin in the peak of the attack. The beta knew they were in their hidden spot– the huge den away from their pack lands. He heard noises. Everyone was busy treating pack members, stocking what they could save, calming down the pups. Still Jungkook was there, lying down with him when he was needed at duties. A soft, warm feeling wrapped around Jimin’s heart and squeezed it. He closed his eyes again, still laying on top of the alpha.

“Your wound was treated. Rest some more. I should go help hyung.” Jimin lifted his head to look at the alpha. His eyes then ran all over his skin. Jungkook’s left arm was wrapped, ash was making an ugly mess on his skin, something he pulled off with his handsomeness. Except that, he looked fine. He chuckled, reading Jimin’s mind as always.

“I’m fine, Minnie. You know no one can touch me,” Jimin sighed in relief letting the alpha stand up.

“except for you.”

This is what he hated about Jungkook. He left Jimin a blushing mess and confused. Of course, he knew everything between them was platonic and Jimin didn’t want to ruin it. He knew Jungkook had flirty remarks but it wasn’t only for him. He said those things with everyone. Jimin clapped his palms on his face.

Wake up, Jimin.

He stood up instead of resting. There were packmates who wanted his hand and Jimin started being useful. That took away his mind from a certain black haired alpha.

After a few hours they settled in the den. It wasn’t big enough for the whole pack so they divided the place as their subunits, omegas took pups under their wings. Except for some serious injuries that could be healed, no one was dead which was the best they could expect after an attack. While the healers were sharing the little amount of food and medicine through the pack, Namjoon called a meeting for the pack advisers and warriors.

They sat in a circle near the entrance which was covered behind a waterfall. It was cold but Jimin didn’t feel it as his best friend had him sitting between his legs, arms wrapped around him.

Warm

Safe

“I should be grateful to mother nature for saving us all, for pack advisors for suggesting a safe place years ago. Also thank you my brother, our commander Jungkook and his warriors for finding this place, keeping it clean for the whole time and fighting for all of us. Thank you.”  Namjoon bowed, standing in front of them which they all returned with a bow.

“Jungkook and I went back to investigate the lands. It’s all burned up. Our home is gone but the surprising thing is, the meat we stocked under the sand for preservation were still the same.”

“Means?” a beta asked. Namjoon’s eyes landed on Jungkook who pushed himself away from Jimin. The sudden loss of warmth made Jimin shiver but his attention was taken from the way Jungkook stepped to the front near Namjoon.

“It wasn’t just an attack by the rogues. If it was, they would have taken our meat. It’s not like they couldn’t smell it, they just didn’t care to find food. The main question started from the fire. How was a pack of rogues able to set fire on our cabins? That also started from the most isolated area, making it hard to stop as no one really was around until it spread. Rogues don’t have brains to plan such things.

They used a pack of rogues to attack us. Two of their pack alphas were the ones that set our lands on fire and they ran away before we even caught them. If omegas from the kitchen hadn’t seen their pack tattoo, we wouldn’t even know it was them. They’re cowards, couldn’t face us straight, hid behind some rogues but they already started this. There’s no way back out now.”

“Which leaves us with our assumption which we always knew might happen.” Namjoon completed Jungkook’s words. A shiver ran down Jimin’s spine. They were not a  big pack. There were merely a hundred members in their pack but their land was one of the best. Even if they threw a seed, it would grow into a nice plant on its own. Their land was that fertile. Everyone wanted it. Especially the Ming pack who lived across a barren land. They always predicted that one day they will need it sooner or later.

Jimin’s widened eyes landed on his best friend.

Jungkook nodded.

The circle fell into a mad silence. Only the murmurs from the rest of the pack and the waterfall filled the air. It was scary. They already lost their cabins, their food and their clothes. One step wrong and they might have lost lives. As a warrior Jimin knew what Namjoon was going to say next. All of them knew and waited for their pack alpha to confirm their thoughts.

“A battle. There will be a battle.”

There it was.

Open and on the table except they didn’t have another choice.

Jimin’s eyes lifted towards his pack. Pups were sleeping peacefully like they were not losing hopes for their future. Jimin’s mother was feeding a pup who was still unsettled. He also lost his father in a battle. If he hadn’t fought that day, he would have lost his life too. Sacrifices were made for their loved ones’ lives and Jimin knew that it was his time now.

His eyes found Jungkook’s again. His best friend, his safe place, his home,

His alpha

His love

If Jungkook was by his side, he knew he could be braver.

* * *

“I can’t lose you too Minnie, my pup..”

Jimin hummed, inhaling his mother’s scent. She was his only family. They only had each other.

“You won’t. As our alpha, Ming pack alphas only started camping outside their territory. We will be able to take them down. Just pray for us and wait here eomma.”

“I shouldn’t have let you be a warrior. You could be a builder”

“You did good by letting him, eommonie. Without him, I’m nothing.”

Both the elder omega and the beta looked at the familiar young alpha who sat besides them. Jungkook pulled Jimin’s legs like he owned them and laid his head on the beta’s lap. Jimin’s lips curved into a soft smile, his fingers immediately finding Jungkook’s hair.

“Auch!” Jungkook whined when Jimin’s mother slapped his bicep. Ever since his parents passed away, Jimin’s mother became his mother too so there’s no way he could stop the older omega’s scolding.

“Who’s nothing? I’m going to smack that ass if you disrespect yourself again Gguk!”

“Ugh kinky, eomma– Auch! Stop hitting me!”

Jimin laughed, throwing his head on his mother’s shoulder, enjoying how the alpha and the omega started bickering, throwing insults here and there. This was what made the beta happy. This was everything but he knew this would be their last encounter together before they left tomorrow for the battle.

“Can’t you two stay to protect us? Send the other alphas instead.” Jimin’s mother said caressing Jungkook’s hair while hugging Jimin to her side. But she knew it was impossible. As the commander, Jungkook had to leave. Namjoon had to stay with the pack as the protector, everybody had their own duties to fulfill and she knew Jimin would never fear away from a challenge like a coward. He was more like his father. Tinier than most other betas but braver like an alpha.

“Eomma..” Jungkook said softly, lifting his head from Jimin’s lap to cup the elder omega’s face.

“I will protect us all. I will bring him back to you–”

“Gguk–”

“Myself too. Safe and sound, eomma. It’s a promise.”

* * *

Promises were kind of scary. They say once you made a promise, there’s a possibility you won't survive to fulfill it. The thought made Jimin scared as he followed his pack mates, Jungkook leading them. The backpack on Jimin’s back weighed nothing compared to his heart. Jungkook, his second in command Yoongi were the only ones in their wolf forms. Others had to carry things for the battle and camping so they were in human forms including Jimin. Compared to Yoongi and any other wolves, Jungkook’s wolf was bigger, taller and stronger. The beta wished that was enough for mother nature to protect him.

Please protect my alpha..

Jimin had no idea when he started seeing Jungkook as his alpha but he was so deep in the hole that he knew there was no way out. And he didn’t want to be out. One thing he regretted is not being able to tell the alpha how much he loved him. They were so close but everyone and their pups knew it was platonic and Jimin would never, ever break their bond, the friendship by confessing something that he knew wasn’t reciprocated. It would ruin Jungkook’s relationship with his mother too and Jimin would never take the alpha’s mother figure from him.

Confession..

The word alone sounded heavier than a mountain. Before they left, they all vowed their lives to protect the pack. They might die. Maybe no one will return home and confess on a deathbed? There was nothing worse than dying after leaving a heaviness on their loved ones’ hearts.

“So no last minute I love you`s I guess?”

“Mother! Hoseok? You scared me!”

The older beta laughed like it was the funniest thing in the world how Jimin was holding his heart. Jimin didn’t know how the beta found out about his little love but here he was, being poked and annoyed by the beta.

“Stop poking me!”

“So so.. Tell me tell me!”

“There’s nothing like that Hoseok, stop reading those teen novels our pups write and focus on the battle!”

Hoseok put his arm around the smaller beta. Jimin groaned. His backpack was heavy and now he had to literally carry Hoseok as well! He nudged the beta away who wouldn’t budge.

“I really really really think you two are an item. You look good together and I’ve never seen him caring about anyone else like he does you.” A tiny butterfly formed in Jimin’s belly. He knew that was kind of true.

“I’m his best friend.”

“Best friends don’t look at each other like they–”

Jimin yelped with a sudden push on his back. Hoseok’s arm around his shoulder loosened as he stumbled on his feet. He looked at the other beta who had his eyes widened. The familiar smell wrapped around him like a blanket before Jimin realized it was Jungkook’s muzzle that pushed him forward– away from the other beta’s grasp. What was he doing here except leading them from the front? Many eyes landed on them– smiles, side eyes both equally.

“What?”

Jungkook’s wolf, who was taller than him, nuzzled into his hair before his teeth grazed over the straps of his bag. It didn’t take much time for him to realize what the alpha meant.

“The bag? Yes, it’s heavy– what? You want to carry it for me? No? Then what?”

Jimin was babying the wolf, talking in his soft voice while scratching the back of the alpha’s ears. Jungkook closed his eyes, soft growls releasing from his chest. Their members moved forward leaving them in their little bubble. The best friends and their closeness wasn’t new to them.

“What is it then?” Jimin ignored Hoseok, mouthing ‘Jealous’ behind Jungkook’s back. He jumped when the alpha bit his pants around his knees. His eyes widened, understanding settling in.

“No Gguk! Everyone walks. I can’t just–” another growl that sounded a little angry, left the alpha’s mouth. Jimin crossed his arms over his chest. He knew how stubborn his best friend was. The pack knew how close they were but that was unfair. Jimin didn’t want to climb up on the commander’s back and travel comfortably while everyone else had to face it hard.

“No. You leave me alone here or I won’t talk to you for the rest of the journey.”

The alpha’s eyes widened. Even in his wolf form Jungkook’s eyes were bigger, rounder and adorable. He stared at the beta until he accepted his defeat. He started slowly walking towards the pack to lead them like a puppy who was kicked away from his home. Jimin’s heart swelled thrice in size. How could Jungkook be so adorable? Soon after he took his place as the leader in the front, his scary, intimidating demeanor returned, making the beta wonder if his best friend and the commander were the same person.

Sadly, he was.

And that’s why forgetting the love he had for the alpha was hard.

Because he was everything in one package and exactly Jimin’s type. 

* * *

They were traveling for three days straight without a proper break even at night until they reached a safe place. A few more days and they would be in Ming territory where Ming warriors were training to attack their pack. According to their spy who bought the news, it wouldn’t be easy but they had to fight Ming warriors before they attacked them again. Next time their lives won’t be spared if they don't take the first step.

“Like I said before too, they’re cowards. After an attack, a pack becomes weak. They could have run a second attack soon after and it would have been the end of us but they didn’t, which means they also don’t have a good plan. Fuckers are still training, not ready to attack us so yeah, we got this. All we have to do is get prepared for the battle. And today all you have to do is take a good rest. We’ll take turns to guard but everyone must get a good sleep and have good meals.” Jungkook addressed the members before they started setting the camps. They all replied with a soft “yes commander”

“If you want some fun, have it but don’t go too far. Alcohol prohibited. Fucking–”

“Commander!”

“Alpha Jeon!”

“What the–”

Noises spread around with sounds of laughs. Jimin chuckled to himself. How fast life changes? Once the cute baby alpha was now commanding his warriors. Jungkook looked like a dream. An intimidating yet a hot god. The feeling of pride settled in Jimin’s chest. He stood up and started helping with the tents. They were not on a picnic so there was no way they would sleep under the sky. That might make their scents spread faster but inside a tent was safer. So they started setting two bigger tents for alphas and betas and another smaller one for the commander. Jungkook was setting up his one alone, politely declining others' help when Jimin stepped towards him.

“Need a hand alpha Jeon?” Jimin teased, already taking a hammer to nail a corner to the ground.

“Go wash. Eat and sleep Minnie.”

Jungkook didn’t even lift his head when he replied. Was he mad? Is that because he declined to travel on his back? That was childish to throw a tantrum for asking for the same treatment.

“I can help–”

“Go. I can do it alone”

Jimin glared at the alpha. How could this man who just ordered around his warriors become such a child? What was the reason even? Jimin wanted to get mad but he was too tired. He dropped the hammer and walked towards his tent. Taking a pair of pants and a shirt with a small towel he bought, Jimin stepped towards the river nearby after letting the alpha on guard know about his leave.

Most of the members had already settled around the bonfire after a quick bath when Jimin went for his. The smell of food settled in his nostrils. Something scary was coming up. A battle was never easy but somehow the atmosphere was calm. The moonlight shone through the leaves that were dancing with the soft wind as Jimin shredded his clothes and started washing them. They have bought only a few clothes and they had to be reused.

After laying the clothes on a rock next to another pack member’s clothes, Jimin stepped into the water. He was alone at the moment. Nudity wasn’t new in the pack but this loneliness somehow made him feel easy and relaxed. The cold water eased the pain in his shoulders.

Jimin dipped in the water and ran his fingers through his black hair, washing the dirt away. He combed through the strands, scratched the scalp to clean the dirt and came to the surface for some air. He gasped, his beta startling when suddenly he felt warmth on his naked waist. His heart beat accelerated with the new feeling.

It wasn’t the fear.

It was the nervousness.

“Gguk..” he whispered. He didn’t have to turn or smell the air around to know Jungkook was there behind him holding his waist. The familiarity told him everything.

“I thought you were mad at me.”

“I can never stay mad at you Minnie.”

“So you were mad?”

Jungkook didn’t answer him. Instead he took a step closer to Jimin until his chest pressed on the beta’s back. A sudden shiver covered Jimin’s skin when he realized that Jungkook was very much naked just like him. An inch closer and his cock would–

Stop thinking Jimin!

Just as he told himself Jimin didn’t have much time to think as Jungkook’s arms slid from his waist to his stomach. He held him there, his thumb caressing Jimin’s soft belly. Jimin’ lips parted. Even if he didn’t want to, he couldn’t stop the pleasure building in his belly. This was wrong. This was so so wrong. Jungkook knew it too but he didn’t seem to stop. Instead the alpha increased the phase of caresses.

“Gg– what are you doing Gguk?” Jimin’s voice mixed with the wind like a whisper.

“Washing you. Is that ok?”

No.

No it’s not.

But damn Jimin was weak. He didn’t know what was happening. Jungkook was always touchy with him but right now felt different, intimate. He wanted to stop the alpha but he was weak. Was Jungkook near his rut? Was he horny but couldn’t risk fucking someone else so he chose to be here? Was he a substitute? Thousand thoughts ran through Jimin's mind.

Jungkook touched his stomach softly with one hand, using the other to splash water onto his skin even if they were already soaked in the water. With each touch, Jimin felt his knees weakening. Just as Jungkook read his mind like he always did, he pulled Jimin closer until their bodies crashed together, this time the alphas cock nestled right above the curve of Jimin’s ass.

The beta’s eyes shot open.

“Gguk–”

“Ssh.. It’s ok Minnie.”

“But this–This is inappropriate.”

Jungkook’s hands stopped right on his stomach, his thumb filling his belly button. The closeness was making Jimin dizzy with need and fear yet he didn’t know what to do.

“Inappropriate? What is?”

“This. you know it. The way– the way you’re touching me–”

“Washing you.”

“Fine. Washing me. It’s wrong Gguk”

“Yeah? Then I will stop. But I don’t trust you.”

“What?”

“I’ll stop only if you show me that you will wash yourself thoroughly. Can you do that for me?”

Jimin’s whole body trembled as the last words Jungkook whispered, dropped over his ear, the alpha’s lips dancing on his skin. He wanted to watch Jimin wash? Naked? Under the moonlight and wetness? Why? What was happening? Jimin’s heart was beating miles per hour. Was he drunk on something if not alcohol?

Out of nowhere a moan left Jimin’s lips when the alphas hands slid between his legs where it was pulsing ever since he felt Jungkook on him. When he tried to stop his embarrassing moan, it was too late. Jungkook smiled into his shoulder, softly touching his inner thigh like he was washing the skin. Blood rushed to Jimin's cock and it twitched without his permission. The soft touch turned into a grip. Jimin threw his head back against Jungkook’s shoulder. Muscular scent and manliness wrapped around them like a safe blanket.

“You’re so soft Minnie..”

“You– You’re crazy!”

“Want me to stop?”

“You blackmailed me into– into show myself–”

“I will stop this time but damn Min!”

Jimin was a virgin. A pathetic sad beta who hasn’t been touched where Jungkook was touching him now. They were just friends so this was wrong yet Jimin couldn’t ask Jungkook to stop. Not anymore. The way the alpha’s touches set himself on fire, the way little growls bloomed in Jungkook’s chest, the way his cock was hardening on his back–

Wait, what?

“Commander, have you seen Beta Park?”

Jimin tensed when he heard Alpha Yoon’s voice who Jimin told about his departure to the river. Jungkook’s hands froze on his skin. The alpha was big enough to cover them both from the other eyes which was embarrassing. It wouldn’t be a problem if they were having a bath side by side but this? What would Jungkook say? If he said he wasn’t here, alpha Yoon might start searching for him–

“He is with me. I’m hugging him. He’s so small you can’t even see him, right Yoon?” Jungkook laughed like it was one of the best jokes he could find. Jimin’s face blushed. Fuck! Now Alpha Yoon knew they were skin to skin in the darkness!

“Jeon Jungkook!” Jimin’s words sounded more like a plea than a threat.

“Ah um– Then I don’t have to worry–”

“Yeah! Go guard the members. We’ll be back.”

“Yes, alpha. Have fun, both of you!”

Have fun!

Have fun, both of you, he said.

Jimin took a breath and turned around in the iron grip. Maybe it was a bad idea. Now that they were face to face, too close and wet, Jimin couldn’t stop how his throat burned at Jungkook’s handsomeness. His wet long hair, his shining tan skin and his little mole under his bottom lip.. His eyes.. his pretty eyes that have turned extra dark staring back at him..

Jimin’s nipples hardened.

His eyes widened. No, he couldn’t let Jungkook feel how aroused he was. Jimin pushed the alpha back with the full strength he could gather. Instead of a frown, Jungkook smirked. The way he turned extra sexy–

Shut the hell up Jimin!

“Why did you– What’s wrong with you Gguk?”

“What’s wrong with what? I was washing and hugging my best friend, guarding him since he looked fine having fun alone near an enemy territory!”

“I’m not a pup and you saw.. Yoon is on guard and it wasn’t just us bathing! You were.. You were..” Jimin’s words got stuck in his throat. Jungkook was just grinning under his smirk. His arms crossed over his buff chest and the idiot looked like he was having so much fun with each word that spilled past Jimin’s lips. Jimin groaned, throwing his hands in frustration.

“Ugh you’re impossible!”

“It’s ok Minnie. Why are you being so dramatic?”

“Jeon Jungkook, do you think our warriors are innocent pups? If not fighting they live for gossip. Now everyone will know–”

“So what?”

Why was this easy for Jungkook? Jimin knew he wasn’t being just dramatic. Jungkook was touching him like they were about to fuck. It was wrong. A part of Jimin’s heart broke when he realized that he was the only one affected, that this was nothing for the alpha. Wasn’t he considering the outcome and how Jimin might feel about this?  How alpha Yoon might be revealing about them as they breathed.

Jimin sighed.

“There are betas, Gguk. Yoon might be talking about us now and the betas might–”

“What’s with betas? What are you trying to say?” Jungkook’s teasing, calm voice changed into a rough deep one that sent a shiver down Jimin’s spine. He gulped.

“I’m a beta. One of them who's hearing about us right now, might be my future mate, Gguk. They might think I’m easy and–”

“Whoever it might be, they should know who you are to me and should be fine with us, Min! if not, I’m not letting them mate you!”

A sharp pain that started with Jimin’s chest traveled until it settled down his stomach. The words came out of Jungkook’s mouth like a clean flow of water. Calm and confident. If Jimin expected Jungkook to be mad about him talking of another beta as his mate, it shattered. Jungkook didn’t care, he didn’t see him as a mate but a friend.

“And when I mate, they’ll also know your worth and would be fine with us”

The alpha’s words didn’t ease Jimin’s uneasiness. He nodded once and took a step away from the alpha and walked towards the shore. Jungkook called for him but it didn’t stop him. Tears burned behind Jimin’s eyes and he didn’t want Jungkook to see them falling over his skin. He splashed some more water, ignored how Jungkook’s eyes remained on his naked back and walked towards their camp after putting on some clothes.

* * *

The dinner was like heaven. As they didn’t have a proper meal in days, the roasted yams, egg and meat sounded like everything. Alphas had done a great job hunting without making much noise. They were impressive.

What’s better was that none of them were talking about what was happening with the commander and his best friend. Maybe Alpha Yoon didn’t talk about it? Jimin was happy to believe that he didn’t.

It was confirmed as the betas’ conversation shifted into something that took Jimin’s attention.

If Yoon had spread the word, betas would never talk about things like this that could make Jimin uncomfortable. They loved each other.

“Why did he fuck you if he wanted omega Han in the first place?” A beta who was sitting in the circle next to Hoseok asked. The beta in question, Yoohee shrugged her shoulders.

“Because it’s easier and has fewer consequences.” Jimin’s ears perked up.

“What do you mean?”

“Well Jiminie, alphas are fucking horny and they go around screwing than any of us but sleeping with omegas.. No. We? We don’t slick around, spread a specific scent even if we were scented. We barely get pregnant. It's a win for them.”

“But for us.. We get nothing in return.”

“Don’t forget the pleasure. Alpha knots are…”

The conversation became a white noise between laughs. Jimin’s throat burned. Now that he thought, it was clear Jungkook saw him the same way. He had tried so hard not to confess his love so that he wouldn’t destroy their friendship but what was Jungkook doing now? Did he expect Jimin to be happy about it? What did he mean by their mates being fine with them? Was it just the friendship or was he planning to keep Jimin like a mistress–

Jimin shook his head. Just a few touches and he was going wild in his head. He stood up with the piece of meat on his hand. The betas looked at his sudden rising.

“I’ll head in. Kind of tired.” Their eyes still remained at him filled with either concern or confusion.

“Alright. We’ll join you soon–”

“I’ll be going too. I’m going to sleep until noon. Let’s go Min!” Haesung stood up and threw his arm around Jimin’s shoulder. Soon after, another few betas Joined them. They all went towards their hut to end the day. Jimin ignored a familiar gaze burning on his back.

* * *

The pitter patter sound on the roof of the hut was like music to Jimin’s ears. He didn’t even try to open his eyes. Something Jimin loved was to sleep in the warmth when it was raining. As they were traveling for three days straight and were so close to the Ming pack, Jungkook had advised that they should take a full day rest which was better since now Jimin could sleep in as much as he wanted.

Maybe he was exaggerating but whatever..

He snuggled into the warmth, satisfied moan leaving his pout.

“Don’t do that!”

Wait!

Jimin’s eyes snapped open to the whisper behind his ear. Who was hugging him? Which beta– The familiar warmth, familiar scent of Sandalwood worked fine like a second blanket around them. How– why was Jungkook in the beta’s hut hugging him? When did that even happen and what did he mean by not to do that?

“Gguk what–”

“Don’t moan, sweetness.”

Fuck!

The heat between Jimin’s legs throbbed. The alpha was too warm, too close and too familiar, his hoarse morning voice whispering the pet name in his ear sent unwanted tingles down Jimin’s spine. They have slept together a number of times but this was different. And Jimin didn’t like it.

“Why are you– here?”

“Me? I'm where I should be, Minnie. In my hut. With you.”

“What?”

“Did you really think I’d let you sleep in that hut with all the other betas hovering over you while I slept here alone? Comfortably?”

Goosebumps..

“But I slept there so how– “

“Of course I brought you here. Now be quite like a good boy and sleep, hmm?”

A soft peck was placed on Jimin’s ear. Muscular arms that were around his body tightened some more pulling him into a burning heat. If anyone peeped in, they wouldn’t even see Jimin snuggled, buried in Jungkook’s body. Jimin couldn’t stop butterflies forming in his belly. What might the betas have thought when their commander went inside the hut to pick Jimin? Usually, alphas didn’t go inside others’ huts but a commander was an exception. Were they surprised? Did they tease him once they were out? Did alphas see them too?

Oh my god!

A soft, shy smile that was slowly taking place on Jimin’s lips flattened when he remembered his friends’ words last night. One of them might be Jimin’s mate one day so it mattered what they thought of him so why Jungkook–

“Such a loud head you got there, sweetness.”

The deep voice and the hot breath fanned Jimin's skin made him shiver. He tried to stop his pounding heart, fearing that the alpha might hear it. His train of thoughts was blocked, stuck in his head when he felt it. He wasn’t dreaming. Jungkook was pressing his cock on the crack of his ass, slowly but surely rutting.

Blood rushed to Jimin’s face.

“Gguk..”

“I know a way to make your mind silent. Care to explore?” Jungkook's palm slid down painfully slowly, until it slid under Jimin’s shirt. The warm hand on his belly made him tremble.

“Gguk wait! Please..”

He actually stopped. The slow rutting stopped, the palm stilled. The alpha hummed, urging the beta to speak. They were too familiar with each other since they literally grew up together since birth– a hum was enough for Jimin to know that Jungkook wanted him to talk.

“They say.. They say alphas like to fuck betas so that– there would be no scent, so it would be easy to leave everything behin– God!”

It was too late. The words were already out. Jimin covered his lips with his palm like it could suck back his spill. He wasn’t planning to say those words. If confessing was the last thing Jimin wanted Jungkook to hear, this was the second last. Jungkook never said he wanted to sleep with Jimin.

So embarrassing..

I’m so embarrassed!

“That I heard. Did anyone try to use you like that?” Jungkook sounded more serious than teasing. Why wasn’t he mocking him?

“Whom should I kill, Minnie?”

“You, fuckass!”

Silence took over the hut. Except for the fading sound of the rain, only their breath filled around. Jimin pressed his lips tight, regretting his words but the cock that nestled on his ass made him realize that he had the right to say that. He didn’t want to be a sex toy to anyone, especially not his life-long best friend, the alpha who took his heart.

Jungkook sighed.

“Fucking you is the hardest goal I have in my life Minnie because there would be no leaving shit behind. I swear in the name of mother nature.”

Hardest goal..

Have in my life

Swear in the name of mother nature

Jungkook barely swore. Even when they were young and the pack alpha asked him to promise something, he ran off like the mischievous pup he was. On special occasions he had to swear in the name of their god– mother nature and the only time he did that was when he was appointed as the commander of the pack. That was the only time. Jimin’s heart swelled.

So much that it hurt, yet made him smile.

But why–

“Fuck Minnie! This isn’t how I planned to do this. My first goal was to talk to eomma just.. Fuck it!”

There was no time for Jimin to absorb the words, his face was turned around by the alpha who grabbed his chin rather softly and his lips that were parted with surprise, were captured by Jungkook’s own.

What?

Jungkook..

His best friend, his mate was.. kissing him?!

Jimin’s eyes were still wide as a mountain as Jungkook was taking his breath away. The alpha had his eyes closed, his long nose pressed on Jimin’s cheek, his hand still holding Jimin’s face while the other tightened the hug even more. Jimin was sure he wasn’t dreaming. So all this long, was he just suffering alone for nothing- thinking he was in a one sided love that would never be reciprocated?

Jungkook kissed him like he meant about never leaving anything behind, like fucking him was a dream, like forming a family with his eomma and him was everything to him. He kissed Jimin like he was the source of air while the alpha was drowning deeper and deeper in water. Jimin’s eyes closed, his hand lifted to cup Jungkook’s face.

He parted his lips to the soft lick against them and let the man of his life mark his first kiss as the best ever.

Jungkook couldn’t go any deeper. The beta was struggling to breath and he knew it as he parted their entangled lips. He pressed his forehead on Jimin’s temple, scenting the beta with meaning.

A meaning more than his best friend.

Mine!

“Gguk.. Do you mean– I mean I never thought–”

“Can we talk later, sweetness, because I’ve been starving, craving and dying! Promise I’ll explain.”

“Oh– You must be hungry. Of course I will– Oh!”

Jimin, who was pushing Jungkook’s arms away to stand so he could give the alpha space to go out, was pulled back. He gasped as he was laid on the thick layer of leather and the alpha hovered over him, caging him in his knees and arms. Jungkook’s loose shirt was hanging around his neck, giving Jimin a yummy view of his muscled up chest and abdomen. His manly scent was getting spicier. They have been naked together hundreds of times to get baths but this moment, Jimin knew it was way different and might change their lives forever.

“You thought it was for food?” Jungkook whispered, leaning into Jimin’s neck, his voice seductive and deep. “Wrong Minnie. For years of my life, I’ve been starving for you.”

Jungkook pressed his lips on Jimin’s again, this time aggressively cutting off the beta’s breath. He placed one hand on top of Jimin’s head and angled so he could dive in more, devouring. The soft wet tongue entered Jimin’s cavern and licked every cell inside like Jungkook mentioned. Like he was starved for Jimin’s taste, craved for his wetness for years, like if this desire couldn’t be tested through actions, he’d die.

The moan formed in Jimin’s lips entered Jungkook’s mouth as he laid his lower body on the beta.

Jimin knew Jungkook was such an amazing fighter. He had shown that ever since they were little pups, holding his father’s sword even if it was way too heavier. Yet until now he didn’t know Jungkook’s tongue itself was a great warrior. It battled with Jimin’s like the fighter it is, easily winning. Jimin gripped Jungkook’s shoulders unable to stop how pathetically his body was responding. He was a moaning mess. Saliva dripped down his chin. His lower body trembled as the alpha’s heavy package was rutting on his.

“My god! That– Aah!”

Jimin couldn’t even catch a breath to finally let his moans out as Jungkook’s lips traveled down his neck. The alpha was scenting him deeply while licking and kissing his throat eagerly. This was bad. The heaviness of the scent wouldn’t be able to wash away. Their packmates would catch them in a second but maybe he didn’t care. Jimin didn’t care as he moaned softly, baring his neck even more for his alpha.

“Such a good beta. Yes! Show me your sexy throat sweetness. Show me your scentless gland so I can crave my scent in it, make you mine to the last cell in your body!”

“Oh god! Gguk..”

Jimin had always worried about his beta scent which was almost non-existence. Being a beta was a main reason he planned never to confess his love. Maybe he was stupid. His stupid best friend was possessive. He never knew the lack of his scent would turn on Jungkook.

For the first time in his life, he thanked his eomma for giving him life as a beta.

Jungkook’s beta.

“Yes please! Take it all!”

“Minnie..” Jungkook lifted his head from where he had buried it in Jimin’s throat. “You don’t have to beg. You never have to beg like I don’t want you but.. that kind of arouses me even more because,” he started playing with the buttons on Jimin’s shirt, unbuttoning as the beta looked calm.

“because it tells me how you crave for me just as much as I do you.”

Jungkook peeled off his shirt in one swift motion and pulled off Jimin’s in the next. Jimin’s mouth dried. The sexy pack and homey chest Jungkook always owned looked tastier today. As the alpha smirked and leaned to Jimin’s chest, he realized something.

The bond of friendship wasn’t crumbling.

They were just forming another bond.

Jungkook kissed his neck slowly, taking his collarbones. The sexy paths of bones that adored Jimin’s petite shoulders he always wanted to mark. Right on top of the small little mole on the bone, Jungkook sucked enough to leave a hickey. The beta threw his head back, covering his lips with his palm. Now the mole didn’t look lonely. It got a lover, placed there by Jungkook’s eager lips.

THe alpha worshiped the beta’s body. The body that was near to him to touch and taste but never couldn’t. His lips traced down his chest, biting the softness until he was breathing out on Jimin’s little nipples. He lapped at the perks, making Jimin shudder under him, his fingers running through the alpha’s scalp.

“Those fucking betas, Horse–!”

“Hoseok, is a good– Gguk! Fuck!” Jimin cursed when Jungkook bit his nipple.

“Do not defend anyone in front of me, you hear me? Did he get to taste you like this? like I do? Tell me Minnie”

“No! No one–”

“Good.”

Jimin was thankful that the rain hadn’t stopped yet, because he could clearly say their friends were awake and out now, probably getting ready to prepare breakfast. They were only a few feet away, divided only by the thin leather of Jungkook’s hut. The pitter patter sound, knocks of boots hitting the ground concealed the dirty sound Jimin was making as Jungkook licked, kissed and bit down his nipples while rutting on him, hands exploring the soft skin.

Goosebumps were forming, cock was throbbing hard, gasps left his lips as pleasure built in.

“Yum! So yummy these tits, sweetness.”

“I’m– I’ll cum. Alpha..”

Jungkook stilled. His hips, lips and hands stopped moving. His heartbeat raced even more and he lifted his body to move closer to Jimin’s face.

“What did you call me?”

“Um..”

“What did you just call me, Minnie?”

“Alpha”

“Fuck yes! Your alpha.”

A smile tugged at Jimin’s lips. Jungkook didn’t look like an alpha who was about to give Jimin his first orgasm in life. He looked happy, content and full as he kissed Jimin again. He threw his hands around the man’s neck, kissing him back with the same enthusiasm.

Your alpha

My alpha

They were kissing like there’d be no tomorrow while Jungkook worked on both of their pants. One look to confirm and Jimin nodded. In a few seconds Jungkook had them both naked.

Familiar but new

New but familiar

Jungkook cupped Jimin’s face. The beta nuzzled into the palm.

“This wasn’t how I wanted our first time to be, sweetness. A battle around the corner, lives in danger, our pack mates just outside but–”

“Fuck it Ggukie. Don’t make me wait. You said I don’t have to beg.”

“Damn right!”

As a romantic at heart Jimin expected his first time to be in his honeymoon night on a soft bed, exploring each other’s whole body with lips before taking it slow. This was far away from his imagination. Jungkook cupped his knees and pushed his thighs apart without a warning. His gaze burned on Jimin’s throbbing cock and full balls. He licked his lips eyeing the tight little hole.

This was way more intense and hurried.

But Jimin loved it.

Because the main component of his dreams was constant and here– Jungkook.

“Should have made you come, lose this tight little hole for me.”

“Uhh!” Jimin moaned. He had never felt this before. No one had ever touched him down there. Jungkook was just tracing the crinkled lines around his hole and the beta was already trembling.

“Who had access to this sweetness before me, sweetheart? I need names.” The alpha lifted his dark eyes to Jimin’s soft ones, fingertips softly tracing the hole upwards until they were drawing patterns on his balls.

“No–no one!

“And you?”

“Me? Me what?”

“How many times have you pleasured yourself here, imagining me?”

“Oh– None. Gguk–”

The hand was gone, leaving Jimin breathless. Why did he have to be tortured? First orgasm was denied and even now. He opened his eyes and shivered to see Jungkook looking at him with dark eyes, his teeth gnashing.

He looked mad

Thankfully Jimin knew the alpha too much to be anxious about what it was. He cupped Jungkook’s face, pulled him closer and clashed their lips together.

“I didn’t mean it like you think. I didn’t.. mean I didn’t imagine you. I said no one had ever.. not even me.. I mean–” so embarrassing. He didn’t want to admit that he had a number of urges to touch himself while imagining Jungkook but didn’t only because he wanted to respect his best friend. Accepting even he, himself, hadn't touched his hole was embarrassing too. He wasn’t an omega, had no heats or needed to touch there to get off.

He never wanted anything there until now.

Until Jungkook.

“What a sweet, pure beta. Saved everything for me, huh?” Jungkook started kissing down Jimin’s body again. Lapping at his nipples. “From now on, you’ll be changed. Will want this little hole to be filled, touched, tasted,” he played on the rim again. “But only I will do that. Not even you will unless you get my permission. Isn’t that right, Minnie? Aren’t you my good little sweetness?”

“Yes. Not e-even me.”

“Good boy.”

Jimin’s legs that were lifted by the alpha, trembled when he felt something warm and wet trickling down his balls to the hole. The alpha was kind enough to offer his shoulders for the rescue and placed Jimin’s legs there. The beta lifted his head and gasped. Jungkook was pouring lamp oil on his lower body. It tickled his skin, his soul. Jimin had always worried about him not producing slick as a beta, wondered how he would ever be intimate with Jungkook even if he wanted to but Jungkook didn’t even seem to be nervous– like he had each and every solution to his insecurities up his sleeve.

Or was he familiar with betas?

“No. You’re the first.”

Oh..

He forgot Jungkook knew him well too.

The alpha didn’t give him enough space to get lost in ridiculous assumptions anymore. He replaced everything with building pleasure by touching Jimin with more pressure than before. Jimin threw his head back as Jungkook inserted his middle finger softly. It was weird but he wasn’t scared.

It was Jungkook afterall.

“Fuck. You’re going to break my cock in two, Minnie. So fucking tight, gosh!”

“Is that- is that bad? Sor–”

“No! it just means I’d have to fuck you every single night to get it used to me.”

“Aah– nnngh”

Jungkook inserted a second digit, pouring more oil. He pushed his fingers painfully slowly and pulled them softly. Jimin wasn’t an omega, this was his first so no matter how hard Jungkook was, he took his time.

Jimin was moaning as the alpha started fingering him. It was just the beginning and Jimin was already a mess. He trembled with each thrust, gripped Jungkook’s hands tight, throwing his head back. When the alpha slowed down and started scissoring his hole Jimin gasped and looked at Jungkook. His eyes welled with tears.

Jungkook licked his lips.

He never liked seeing Jimin crying but maybe he could get used to this. Jimin looked ethereal, crying to the pleasure.

“Are you hurt, sweetness? Have to get you ready for my knot. Don’t want to hurt you.”

“Ready? Oh god!”

Jimin had seen cocks. Nudity wasn’t new to the pack life. He had seen Jungkook’s cock too– a number of times but he had never seen it hard. Now in front of his vision, it was standing up like a proud fucking monster. It had never looked this long, this big before. Jungkook was aroused because of him. While the thought made butterflies dance in Jimin’s belly the realization took his breath away.

“It won’t fit!” Jungkook laughed.

“You’re born for me so of course it’s going to fit”

Jimin’s mouth opened. Jungkook was always confident in everything he did. The way he smirked, muttering those words, the flex of his abs, his fingers working on him again– Jimin was one lucky beta.

After a while, Jungkook pulled his fingers out. The beta felt how his hole was gaping like asking for more. He opened his mouth to beg but Jungkook took his words away with a bruising kiss. He pulled Jimin’s legs away from his shoulders and wrapped them around his waist, climbing on top of the beta. Jimin moaned and threw his hands around Jungkook. He felt the alpha’s cock nudging his entrance. His whole body trembled as he clung to Jungkook tight.

“Once I’m inside you, there's no turning back Jimin. ready?” Jungkook called him Jimin. It had been decades since he used the name for him instead of Minnie. The situation was serious. The name alone said it. Jimin nodded.

“Take me Jeon Jungkoo– Ah!”

Jimin buried his head in Jungkook’s neck as the alpha slowly entered him. It hurt like hell. He knew Jungkook wasn’t even in– probably just the head– but still it hurt. He was glad Jungkook took it slow and gave him time to breathe. Jimin heaved a heavy breath of pain. Jungkook kissed his neck, scenting him. After a minute, Jungkook slowly pushed in some more.

“Stop! Stop, stop!”

Jungkook froze. His lips quickly found Jimin’s in a kiss. It was way different– soft, reassuring.

“What’s it, sweetness?”

“It– Gguk I can’t. It hurts.”

“I know. I know it does. It’s your first and you don’t produce slick but I promise you it’s going to be ok. In my twenty five years of life, have I ever broken my promises, Minnie?”

“No. G-go slowly.”

Jungkook didn’t want to push Jimin. He stared at the beta finding if he truly meant it before pushing in slowly. He looked down at the way he was connected to Jimin. His cock was sliding inside his home. The sweet, soft home he always loved.

Finally..

His lips curved into a smile as he lifted his eyes to stare at his beta. That’s when he saw how hard Jimin was biting his lip while tears ran down his face. Jungkook went rigid.

Jimin was in pain. Holding it in for Jungkook.

“Sweetness. Look at me beta.”

Jimin’s eyes opened. He looked sad and in so much pain. The thing he feared finally happened. Jimin was failing as a mate. He was failing Jungkook.

“Stop blaming yourself Minnie. It’s ok. It happens and we’ll take it slow. You don’t have to do this now if you aren’t ready.” Something broke inside Jungkook. “Did I– Make you feel like you can’t st–”

“No! I just, I wanted to do my best”

“You’re already the best, Minnie. Ever since I was born, you’ve always been the best in my eyes.”

The dam of Jimin’s tears broke, overwhelming him. Jungkook turned them around slowly so Jimin was lying on top of him and hugged him. The realization hit him. They were each others’ homes all this long. They’ve been theirs. They just didn’t know it. Jimin cried into Jungkook’s chest. He felt Jungkook trying to pull out.

“No!”

“Sweetness, I have to. If I knotted like this, you’ll–”

“Gguk I still want you. I still.. Don’t stop, please. Can’t let this end like this.” Jungkook smiled and kissed Jimin’s head.

“I’ll fill you up with my fingers and do you. If I stay in.. Minnie I will combust. An alpha having his patience in line is dangerous.”

Jimin nodded. Jungkook smiled and pulled himself out making Jimin moan to the slide. Before his hole got to feel the loss, Jungkook pushed three of his fingers inside. Jimin sighed, feeling less pain but full. His lips parted when Jungkook wrapped his hand around Jimin’s neglected cock, finally easing some built up pain. The beta panted, muttering some incoherent words.

“What?”

“You too. Want you to come– come too.”

“It’s ok Minnie–”

“Want it Gguk. Want your pleasure too!”

Jungkook cursed and let go of Jimin’s hand just to wrap both of their cock in one hand. There were times in life Jimin was thankful that his best friend had big hands and long fingers. He never thought a moment like this would be where he thanked it the most. Jungkook’s fingers perfectly wrapped around them. He used their precum to slide his fist smoothly around them. Jimin hid his face in Jungkook’s neck, licking the skin. Jungkook’s lustful growls felt like music in his ears. His fingers massaging his Insides felt truly amazing. Jimin’s lips parted, his orgasm approaching faster than he wanted to. 

“Commander!”

Jungkook’s fingers on both his sides stilled to the voice right outside the tent. Jimin’s eyes widened. Someone was just a few feet away from them, asking for Jungkook.

“Alpha–”

“What?”

Jungkook asked. What Jimin didn’t expect was for his fingers to start working again, thrusting in his hole and pumping their cocks. Jimin lifted his eyes to see at the alpha smirking at him. He shook his head, asking Jungkook to stop.

“Beta Park can’t be found, commander. The breakfast is ready so I came to wake you up and beta Seo said–”

“He is with me–” Jimin covered Jungkook’s lips with his hands. Why was Jungkook like this? Before Jimin even asked anything, Jungkook was licking his palms. The beta pulled his hands away.

“He is asleep. We will be there. Go on without us. Just leave our portions and take a rest, all of you.”

“Y-yes, alpha.”

Footsteps could be heard. Jimin felt his face blushing. He was sure the tent smelled like Jungkook’s arousal. Did the rain take the scent away or made it highlight? Did the alpha catch on to what was happening?

“Ngh!” to the sudden tug at his cock Jimin moaned and was too late to hide it. Jungkook started working on them whispering seductively in his beta’s ear.

“Too relaxed to think if he heard? Nah nah sweetness. Think about me. Only me.”

A few pumps at the both ends of his body, a bruising kiss and Jimin was spilling in Jungkook’s hand. He cried into Jungkook’s neck as the alpha still kept pumping them. He hadn’t come yet. Jimin was too sensitive after the orgasm but something hot was there. He sniffled into his alpha’s skin until Jungkook stopped, coming and panting heavily.

Jimin relaxed on Jungkook’s body. He melted when he felt Jungkook wrapping his hands around his body. Their cum on Jungkook’s hands were spread all over his skin to the tightened hug. Maybe Jungkook did it intentionally to leave their mixed trace of cum on him. Maybe it wasn’t anything like that, however the way the alpha kept kissing his sweaty skin made Jimin realize how wrong he was. He wasn’t the only one attracted. He wasn’t alone.

Right when his eyes were getting droopy, his body shivered to Jungkook’s voice.

“This time, I let you go. The next time I will own that hole with my knot sweetheart. You better be prepared.”

* * *

Jimin looked straight at another beta who was looking at him, a teasing smile on her face. She wasn’t the first or the second to glance at him after they came out for breakfast. Maybe they knew what was happening in the commander’s tent. Maybe Alpha Yoon spilled what he saw in the river the previous night. Maybe the reason was Jungkook picking a sleepy Jimin in his arms to take him to his personal tent.

What’s worse was how Jungkook didn’t lift his head from Jimin’s shoulder.

He bit on his breakfast while leaning his head on Jimin’s shoulder. He talked to others, talked about the attack and did everything just like that. Even when Jimin tried to push him away the alpha didn’t even budge. This time Jimin pushed him and stood up before the alpha leaned in again.

“Where are you going?”

“To pee!”

“I’ll come too–”

“Oh my god Gguk!”

Jimin ran away trying to ignore the little remarks and whistles from the packmates. It was over. Everyone knew or guessed. Blood rushed to Jimin’s face.

* * *

Hoseok was teasing Jimin non-stop. He mimicked how Jungkook entered their tent last night and took Jimin away like a princess. Some alphas grinned saying how he smelled like Jungkook and that they always knew this would happen.

Jimin felt like an idiot because apparently everyone but him knew.

Like a fool, he had been suffering alone.

That night also Jimin slept in Jungkook’s arms. There were no dirty moves as they had to start traveling the next day. It was exciting but also scary but whenever Jimin’s eyes landed on the huge, black wolf that was guiding them, he knew it would be alright. He had faith in Jungkook.

The plan was simple.

They would well.. Simply attack Ming warriors in an evening when they would be expecting something as a battle in the least. Kill them and send a few back to their pack with a warning carved into their skin.

After another few hours of walking, they stopped in their next spot for the day. Jungkook made sure to give the members enough time to rest as they had to build up enough energy to fight. His eyes landed on his favorite wolf to catch the said beta looking around with something suspicious in his hands.

Without realizing Jungkook’s curious eyes were on him, Jimin went towards the small waterfall for a bath. Well, that’s  how he let the alpha in guard know. He dismissed the way the alpha looked at the wrapped thing in his hands with a raised eyebrow. No one should find out. Everyone knowing him and Jungkook was so close to becoming a thing was enough.

Jimin was about to peel off his clothes at the shore when he sensed a movement behind him. Alerted, he lifted the thing in defense and turned around. His jaw dropped to see Jungkook standing in front of him. His face blushed when the alpha’s eyes landed on the thing in his hands, now unwrapped off its leaf wrap.

“Sweetness. What are you doing here with a– a radish?”

“I– I um–”

How could he say that? Jungkook was here, staring down at him with his curious eyes and waiting. Waiting for an answer Jimin couldn’t give. A second passed. Turned into two and three until Jungkook’s scent was highlighted. Of course. Jungkook always, always knew him the best. Jimin ducked his head in embarrassment.

Don’t say it..

Don’t say it..

“Really Minnie? Is that what I think it is for? Were you really.. going to fuck your virgin hole with–”

“Gguk please..”

Jungkook crossed his arms over his chest. His white shirt stretched over his pecs leaving his skin shining under the moonlight. Jimin gulped, hid the radish behind his back looking away.

“You know radish smells, don’t you?” Jungkook asked. “And your hole is the tightest thing ever. The radish skin would be peeled off in your tight walls and your hole will smell like radish for days, sweetness.”

The beta’s couldn’t say anything. How more humiliating could he be? He felt his face burning, ready to combust embarrassment. Why would Jungkook have to be the one to know him well? Why couldn’t he even defend himself with a lie. He just wanted to loose himself and be ready for his alpha. Maybe fucking himself with something like this everyday would help, that’s what he thought.

He did it for his alpha.

His thoughts stopped when Jungkook stepped closer to him and lifted his chin between his index and thumb. Jungkook was closer, Jimin felt his heart racing harder.

“I was always happy that you were a beta, Minnie. Because betas don’t have a specific smell, I thought I could crave my scent into you but what– You want to smell like–”

“It– It’s not like that Gguk I just, I know everyone says eggplants are the best but there were none on the way so–” a soft pair of lips gulped Jimin’s words. It wasn’t just a peck. The alpha was kissing him. His arms wrapped around Jimin’s thin frame and pulled him closer. The vegetable dropped to the floor as Jimin’s mind went blank. Jungkook’s lips were soft against his, making him forget how embarrassed he was a second ago.

“No need to go after that shit when you have an alpha at service, sweetness.” Jungkook whispered against his skin, lips hovering over his cheeks.

“But last time.. I was too tight–”

“There is something else. You don’t produce slick so something like this might hurt you” the alpha stepped on the raw radish, crushing it under his feet. “This thing I’m suggesting is wet, softer and can stretch you well.”

“What– what is it?” Jungkook smirked at him. The beta felt his whole body lighting up with fire. He knew his best friend had a mischievous side to him but when it was directed at him in a sexual, lustful manner, the beta didn’t know how to handle it.

“My tongue.” A shiver ran down Jimin’s spine. Of course they had been intimate but to have Jungkook tasting him down there? Fucking him with his tongue? Goodness!

“But it– it won’t be enough. Your cock.. is way bigger.”

Jungkook threw his head back laughing but when he looked at the beta, the innocence was gone leaving a dark aura around him. His scent was stronger than ever, making the beta tremble in his legs.

“Thank you for feeding my ego sweetness but I know it. I know my tongue can’t be compared to my cock but you gotta trust me. Do you trust me?

“Yes”

Is that even a question?

I would jump off a cliff if you asked me to.

“Great. Then remove your pants, lay on your back and spread your legs for me.”

It was exciting how their pack was just a few away from them and here they were, ready to get dirty with lust. Jimin almost moaned to the order and did as the alpha said. He didn’t know what Jungkook was planning if he knew his tongue wasn’t enough but Jungkook prepping him so he could take his cock soon like a good beta was enough to make Jimin feel everything. His pants dropped on the ground. His heart melted when he was going to lie on the ground as Jungkook stopped him to spread his own clothes so Jimin could lie down on them instead of the wet ground.

The beta felt his heart beating faster. He laid on his back, bent his legs and spread them. A cold wind kissed his cock making it jump. Jimin was half hard. His alpha’s presence, offer and seductive voice was way more than what he needed to be ready. The burning gaze was a whole nother story. He wanted to look at Jungkook’s nakedness but the alpha looked at him, ordering him to close his eyes.

Why, he asked.

 Just trust me, Jungkook answered.

A rustling sound and some familiar noise touched Jimin’s ears. Before he could respond to the realization he felt a warm wetness tickling his cock. Jimin’s eyes snapped open. He lifted his body on his elbows and gasped when he saw the huge black alpha settling between his legs, sniffing his private parts.

The huge, familiar black wolf.. Jungkook had shifted.

The tongue of his wolf form. That's what he had meant before. Jimin's lips parted, eyes widened.

The black eyes met Jimin’s brown ones. Jimin opened his lips to say something but instead a moan left as the alpha licked a striped from his hole to balls. Jimin gripped Jungkook’s clothes under his body. Threw his head back to the warm sensation.

The alpha spent a second to smell around his cock and then he was scenting the area. It was more than intimate. Jungkook wasn’t just going to fuck him but also claim him. The next second, his tongue was creating a pleasure he had never felt. The alpha lapped at his balls, nuzzled his muzzle into his sack and then licked down the skin. The beta was trembling, his hand immediately found the black fur on Jungkook’s head as the alpha started licking his hole eagerly. Low growls escaping his chest.

“Gguk.. Gguk oh my!”

He threw his head back moaning when Jungkook entered his tongue. He was right. It was way bigger than the tongue of his human form, bigger than his three fingers. Wetter, warmer and softer. The pleasure built in Jimin’s groin helped him relax. The alpha’s tongue pierced him slowly making Jimin gasp for air. His sharp teeth tracing the skin made him realize Jungkook was fully in.

He felt stretched, full but also relaxed. He wanted more. He wanted to feel more, see more. Jimin lifted his head to look at how the alpha had claimed his hole with his tongue. The wolf had his jaw parted, teeth settled over his skin and tongue buried inside him. His eyes were dark but still the familiar warmth was overflowing. The alpha growled.

“Gguk.. It’s– You’re amazing.” He said running his fingers through the black hair. That was all he could say as the beast suddenly pulled his tongue out and pushed in one motion. This time Jimin couldn’t stop the loud moan that left his lips. The whole pack might have heard but it didn’t matter. All thoughts ran out of his mind as Jungkook started fucking him with his alpha tongue.

Something like lava flowed through Jimin’s body as his trembling legs fell on the wolf’s body. The wet tongue was faster, deeper inside him. It didn’t hurt like their first day. Maybe because he was happy. Jungkook’s actions, his words and even the way he was treating him now with so much desire and also warmth might be the reason. Jimin didn’t know. He didn’t care. The alpha increased his pace. Jimin’s fully hard cock started bouncing but he didn’t want to touch it. Jungkook’s tongue was enough and Jimin knew it. He wanted to feel it. Soon his balls tightened, body started spasming and before he could even tell Jungkook, he was coming so hard. White ropes of cum spilled all over Jungkook’s fur and his tongue. The alpha still kept fucking him until Jimin was begging him to stop. That he might pass out.

Jungkook pulled his tongue slowly as Jimin was panting. He felt more butterflies dancing as the alpha started licking the cum off his skin. Jungkook was growling like he was satisfied and then Jimin felt something warm on his belly. Not Jungkook’s tongue so the beta opened his eyes to take a peek. His face blushed to see the alpha now hovering over his body and that he had come all over his body. An excess amount of his alpha seed soiled over his skin.

Jungkook orgasmed just by tongue-fucking him.

Jimin lifted his hands, a smile dancing on his lips. He felt pleasure of lust and love overflowing. The alpha growled and settled on his body. Jimin hugged the huge wolf to his chest, loving the warm, familiar heaviness of his alpha.

“My alpha..” was all he could say. The wolf’s chest rumbled with affirmation as his tongue started licking over his scent gland. Jimin’s eyes closed without even him knowing.

* * *

They were getting close to the Ming pack each passing day. Excitement and fear were overwhelming. They all had faith in their skills and Jungkook’s commands but still attacking a pack wasn’t easy especially because their pack always loved peace but now it was ruined. Pray was turning into a predator.

What they didn’t know was how Jungkook spent his nights after returning to his hut.

Was it the excitement for the battle that kept Jimin up or was the thought of letting Jungkook take him? He didn’t know. The beta couldn’t sleep as he stretched himself out in the deepest of every night. Everyday he gave attention to that so he could finally have Jungkook without causing both of them fear. What he didn’t expect was the alpha to volunteer. The first time Jungkook dragged him away from their huts giving no attention to others' eyes and smirking and then shifted, all the memories from the previous day made Jimin hard. Jungkook smirked and dived in between the beta’s thighs and took his breath away with his fingers and tongue.

From that day on, every night Jungkook made it his job to prepare his beta to take him.

In his wolf form, his human form, using his tongue, fingers and also asking Jimin to join by pumping his own cock, Jungkook showed Jimin heaven. It wasn’t fair that only Jimin could feel the pleasure so when Jimin kneeled in front of the alpha, opening his mouth, Jungkook chuckled and pulled him into a kiss.

“This is not about me, sweetness. It’s about getting you prepared.”

“But–”

“Once you’re ready, there won’t be a stop. I’ll take everything from you.”

The blush that rushed through Jimin’s face was kissed away by the alpha. He couldn’t wait anymore so he gladly took every night Jungkook gave him a piece of lust.

* * *

They tiptoed on the wet ground and thanked mother nature for blessing all past days with rain. As the earth was wet, no twigs or dry leaves were scrunched under their feet which made it easier for them to approach Ming pack’s training ground. A few feet in front of him were the warriors of their pack laughing and feasting without knowing the danger that loomed around them. Jungkook ducked under a yard of bushes and signaled the other two alphas to do the same.

“Having fun, aren’t they? Will be easier for us to attack” Yoongi whispered in Jungkook’s ear. The alpha nodded.

“Commander. What’s the order?” Alpha Kim’s words were stopped by Jungkook’s raised hand. They hid themselves a bit more keeping their eyes on the pack.

“Let’s observe them for three hours. Memorize their behavior. Tonight we’ll attack.”

* * *

“So what you’re saying is that we will stay behind. Right?” Hoseok asked after listening to Jungkook. They were at their huts, a little further from Ming warriors camp. In a few hours they would start the attack.

“Yes. There are twenty of us but only twelve of us will attack first. We will take them down as much as we can and they won’t expect a second batch. Some of us might get hurt, we will be tired and then it will be your turn to take the lead. You, the second group, are as important as us. You will be the ones to finish what we start. Got it?”

Everyone nodded in agreement. There was not a single time their commander was wrong and practically, what he explained made sense and seemed like it would lead to a win. Jimin took a deep breath when Jungkook’s eyes stopped on him before looking away. The alpha was asking him to follow him somewhere and Jimin stood up. They walked away from the pack mates who were now stretching and getting ready.

“Gguk–” Jungkook’s mouth slammed on Jimin’s lips. His hand went around the beta to pull him flush against his body. Jimin cupped Jungkook’s face and kissed him back.

“Minnie..”

“Hey.. What’s wrong?” Jungkook pecked Jimin’s lips again.

“Nothing is wrong. Just excited. Tonight we’ll fuck up those who destroyed our home”

“We will. I know we will do it.”

“Will you be fine, sweetness? I wanted you in my group but your capability is needed in the second group so it balances the strength.”

Jimin smiled. His heart filled with warmth as his eyes swam in the dark orbs of Jungkook. They looked worried.

“You know me alpha. I’ll be fine. Promise me you’ll be safe too and that we all will go back home together.”

“Of course. I promise to protect you all.

Jimin smiled and hugged Jungkook back. The alpha nuzzled in his soft hair and started scenting him. The beta didn’t resist and let the alpha claim him. They soon returned to the pack and started getting ready. The sun started hiding behind the clouds as the first group got ready to take off.

“In the name of mother nature!” Jungkook fisted the air and the rest threw their hands towards the sky after him.

“In the name of mother nature!”

Jungkook took one last glance at Jimin before shifting with others and taking off.

* * *

Almost an hour had passed. It was their time to leave. Screams and curses followed with howls had been filling the forest for a while now. Jimin gritted, his beta more than ready to shred their enemies to pieces. Once one member from the first group returned it was their time.

“Look! It’s beta Hwan. The commander too. Let’s go!” alpha Joo announced. A part of Jimin wanted to stay a second just to see if Jungkook was ok but that could wait. His pack came first.

Jimin was about to shift when he was pulled into a hard, wet chest. His eyes widened to see Jungkook naked and his human form covered in blood. He looked like a wild beast with wet and sweaty hair along with all the blood. Was he hurt? Was he ok? Why was he hugging Jimin without letting him go?

“Gguk!”

“Their leader is dead. Only a few left for you to take care of.” his rasped voice dropped in Jimin’s ear. The beta didn’t understand what was going on. Others had already left and members from the first group were also returning one by one.

“Gguk, are you hurt? Still I have to–"

That’s when Jimin felt it. The alpha was hard. His cock pressed on his stomach as Jungkook was hugging him even closer. Blood dripped down his skin to Jimin’s body and he was frozen. The members around them were like a blurred art as Jungkook lifted him up in his arms.

“Finish it.”

That was all Jungkook said and Yoongi took a second to recover from his shock at their commander’s sudden act that was out of place and bow, accepting the order. He knew there wasn’t much to finish. They had already won the second when Jungkook tore apart their leader’s neck but he didn’t expect to see their naked leader taking his ‘best friend’ to his hut.

The battle isn’t even over and yet..

That’s the exact thing Jimin felt when the alpha laid him down inside his hut. He should be fighting with his friends but here he was, looking at the beast above him and letting him tear apart his clothes. The coldness and stench of iron from the blood dropped on Jimin’s naked skin. His hands went to touch Jungkook’s skin right over his left peck. His heart ached when his fingers brushed over the claw mark on Jungkook’s chest.

“Alpha, you're hurt.”

“Yes and I need my medicine. You!”

“Jungkook but– We can’t. I have to go–”

“Like hell you will.

Jimin’s eyes widened when Jungkook crashed their mouths together. He was still soaked in blood– his or their enemies or both. It was like a beast inside Jungkook was unleashed. His tongue soaked Jimin’s lips and dived inside his mouth right when Jimin parted his lips. A long moan left his lips when Jungkook put weight on his body. Their cocks pressed together. Soon Jungkook was grinding on him. Jimin’s arms wrapped around Jungkook’s neck.

The battle, the members, the whole outside world

Everything blurred as Jungkook traveled his lips down Jimin’s jaw and his neck.

“Fucking delicious. Mine!”

That’s all Jimin’s beta took to lay under the alpha letting his guards down. The need to fight with his pack mates could be damned as long as he could be Jungkook’s. The alpha was like a starved wolf. He devoured Jimin’s skin all over his neck before licking down his nipples. Jimin threw his head back moaning. His hands gripped Jungkook’s sweaty neck to hold on to it like it’s his last life line.

“Hurt my mate? Only I can hurt you. Right Minnie? Tell me.”

“Gguk!”

“Yes! Moan for me. Let everyone hear who hurts you with his lips and soon– cock”

Jimin could still hear wolves howling, fighting the things bursting out loud. Members' footsteps outside were clear as the day. They might be treating the wounded ones because just as Jungkook slipped two fingers inside him, Jimin moaned but it was hidden under another one’s painful scream.

Jungkook’s body slid over him. The blood that dripped down his body made a mess on them. Was his hole wet due to the blood? Did it belong to someone else? The thought alone made Jimin’s skin crawl and he pulled Jungkook’s face closer. The animalistic look in his eyes and the burning desire lit Jimin’s body up. Suddenly the red color on his skin made him look hotter than lava.

Jimin kissed Jungkook’s lips right when the alpha wrapped his legs around his own waist.

His cock nudged at his entrance.

It’s finally happening..

It’s happening..

The velvet hardness pressed at Jimin’s hole next to the alpha’s fingers that were still deep inside him. Jungkook slid his cock through Jimin’s crack. Blood and sweat made a mess on their skin. Jimin’s eyes widened when Jungkook smirked at him before spit on his cock and started coating his cock. His skin glistened through the darkness and the small light that peeped through from outside. Jungkook replaced his fingers with the tip of his cock making Jimin gasp at the sudden stretch.

“My Minnie. Always have been mine.”

“Jungk– Jungkook..”

The alpha kissed Jimin’s lips as he pushed inside inch by inch. He had been soft and gentle with Jimin through the journey but at this moment it was like he had let the beast inside him take over. It hurt but also made Jimin feel everything he ever wanted. Jimin moaned and every breath was taken away by the alpha.

“It’s– It’s so big. How–”

“We’ll make it fit. We’ll make it work so that you will feel like a part of you is missing whenever I’m not inside you.”

Jimin gasped when Jungkook filled him to the hilt with one last thrust. His whole body trembled. Hands desperately clung around the alpha as he let out a shuddering breath. Jungkook circled his hips like he wasn’t already stretched and filled so he could burst. It was too much. Sure, they had been trying every single night for this. They were getting ready but Jungkook’s wolf form’s tongue wasn’t even close to how big his actual cock inside him was. Jimin knew at that moment that his alpha was ruining him for everyone else.

Not that anyone else mattered.

The euphoria spread through his body set him on fire as Jungkook pulled out to thrust back in again. Jimin’s lips parted. Broken sobs left his lips. The alpha growled taking his cries in a deep kiss as he started fucking Jimin. his legs around Jungkook’s waist trembled, sweat gathered  around his hairline. A smile formed through the kisses he shared with Jungkook.

“Look how beautiful you are taking me.” Jungkook rasped through his neck, licking away his arousal from his scent gland. His hips kept working skillfully like he wasn’t just out there killing a bunch of his enemies, like he wasn’t tired at all. Maybe he was never tired when it came to Jimin. Ever.

“Ah! Right there!”

“Yeah sweetness? Did my cock hit that sweet spot of yours?”

“Yes! Yes yes!”

“Get ready then. I’m going to ruin that place for you.”

Broken sobs filled the tent as Jungkook angled his hips more and fucked Jimin harder. Sweat mixed with blood smeared on their skin. Soon it would be covered in both their cum. Everyone and their enemies would know who Jimin belonged to and how loved, protected and satisfied he was. The alpha smirked in satisfaction as he felt Jimin’s hole tightening around him, sucking him greedily. His nails dig into his skin, head thrown back in a moan.

“Cum for me baby. Let it go!”

“Alpha I–”

Jimin’s body trembled. His sweaty limbs wrapped around Jungkook tighter as he let it go, ropes of whiteness spilled between them. There was no time for him to recover as Jungkook kept fucking him through the orgasm. The beta screamed into Jungkook’s neck trying his best to muffle it through the skin.

“I can’t! I’m dying!”

“No you won’t. Just a little”

“Please. Cum for me alpha. Commander! Give it to me.”

Jungkook cursed taking Jimin’s lips in a bruising kiss as his seeds filled the beta. Wet skins glide on each other while their sounds that filled the hut slowed down to pants. They kept kissing until the beta ran out of breath. Jungkook's cum dripped down Jimin’s hole as he pulled out his softening cock making the beta whimper. He froze, looking at Jimin's droopy eyes when the beta stopped him.

“Kiss me some more.”

Jungkook smiled and kissed Jimin’s forehead before taking his lips in his mouth again.

Jimin’ hands wrapped around the alpha’s neck.

* * *

What went wrong, where it happened Jungkook didn’t understand.

They won the battle easily.

But he wasn’t happy because Jimin had distanced himself.

They were on their way back to their pack after clearing out everything with Ming pack who met them later. As they had planned, they did let go of a beta with a warning to the pack alpha how they wouldn't think twice to destroy the entire Ming pack but wanted to give them a chance for the sake of innocent pups who didn’t deserve a war. An hour later Ming pack alpha and some wolves came with the defeat and apologized for their behavior explaining how their barren land made them go feral enough to attack Jeon pack. That didn’t matter. What mattered was that they indeed attacked them and now were willing to beg on knees for forgiveness and peace. With a written letter that was sealed with Ming pack alpha’s blood, they took off to their home.

If one thing all the wolves respected despite their differences was their blood oaths.

Everything was fine. Except Jimin.

He had distanced himself from Jungkook. Whenever the alpha tried to give him a hand to carry back their stuff or linger around the beta, Jimin would look away sliding between other betas to hide himself. Was it because of the sex? Was he too rough? Why was Jimin behaving this way when they both clearly wanted that to happen eventually? They were even prepping Jimin throughout the night.

That night when Jungkook tried to take Jimin to his tent like all other days, the beta refused with a glare. The atmosphere between them was dark and it affected the others too. Some were badly wounded and Jimin was helping them. Even they could see the tension between the two. It was clear their commander and his best friend were becoming more than two friends and they were all happy to see the progress until everything took a turn.

A few days passed.

Jungkook lost it.

Jimin was biting on a piece of meat when Jungkook yanked him off the ground. The beta’s eyes widened and teeth bared to snarl at the alpha. The other didn’t care as he dragged him away from their packmates towards the darkness.

“Let me go! Let me go you fucking–”

“I won’t and you know it!”

Jungkook screamed, letting Jimin’s hand go. He pulled his hair and growled, anger and frustration taking over. He turned around and cupped Jimin’s face with force which made Jimin stumble and crash onto Jungkook’s front.

“Let you fucking go? You don’t curse. The only time you do is to ask me to let you go? Why are you doing this Jimin? Stop killing me!” Jungkook's anger melted to shock when he saw tears building up in Jimin’s eyes. His best friend was stronger than many and he barely cried. The sarcastic smile that took over his lips surprised Jungkook even more.

“Minnie–”

“Aren’t you the one killing me? Hurting me, doubting me. This– this wasn’t what I wanted when I fell for you Gguk!”

“The hell are you talking about?”

Jimin tried to shake off his face from the alpha’s grip but it tightened instead. He pushed Jungkook away, he didn’t budge. Jimin thrashed in his hold until he realized he had to give in.

“You fucked me.” Jungkook’s eyes softened.

“I did. Was that– Baby I know it wasn’t the best way. I also wanted our first time to be on a soft bed–”

“Then why? I– I gave in because I always had been weak for you. At that moment I reciprocated because I– Thought you wanted me so badly that you couldn’t stop yourself.”

“What are you thinking, Minnie? Why are you questioning this like I– I..”

“Because I know why you fucked me that night when I had to be battling with others!” Jungkook’s eyes widened. His hands dropped to his sides. Jimin had never looked at him like this, with nothing but anger. Jungkook felt something burning inside his throat that dripped down to his stomach burning all the way down.

“Minnie, what are you talking about?”

“The reason you fucked me, wasn’t that because you didn’t want me on the battle? You doubted me that I wouldn’t be able to do it, that I would hold others back so you did the only thing you could to make me stay. Fucked me. I was torn apart on your cock that I couldn’t even be there when the Ming alpha came to meet you!”

Jungkook’s jaw dropped. He couldn’t speak or act for what felt like for ages. Jimin was mad. Only the sound of wind were around them except for Jimin’s harsh breathing. Jungkook wanted to throw the world around but it wouldn’t do shit. If both got mad, it wouldn’t take them anywhere.

So he gently cupped Jimin’s face again.

“Where did you hear such a thing, baby? That I fucked you to make you stay in my hut? Who told that nonsense?”

“I–” Jimin closed his eyes. Suddenly everything and Jungkook’s warmth overwhelmed him.

“Beta Seo was badly hurt.”

“I know. So?”

“His mate beta Yong said.. If he also could fuck his mate and make him stay back like commander, he would, so that it would save Seo from getting hurt and half of their time they spent on nursing him could have also been saved.”

Silence felt on them.

Jungkook pushed Jimin on a tree trunk and crushed his lips together with the beta’s hard.

Jimin’s eyes widened. It was sudden and he couldn’t breathe. He placed his hands on Jungkook’s chest to push him away but the alpha pressed him more on Jimin and kissed him more until Jimin felt dizzy from lack of oxygen. His legs gave out the second Jungkook let go of his lips. The alpha held him by pulling him into a hug.

“Just because Yong is pathetic and can’t appreciate Seo enough, you can’t project his stupidity on me, Minnie. We are best friends, grew up together and breathed with each other. You know me better than that!”

“But–”

“The moment I killed their commander, he held an eye contact with me and said– he would come back just to fuck my mate, to hurt my mate and– and pull my pups away from my mate’s belly. I know they were empty words since he was dying but my alpha saw red. All I saw was you when I ran back to our camp. All I wanted was to claim you and make our inner wolves connect. You know they do form a bond once we fuck someone. I wanted to mark you so badly but held back because you deserve it to be on a full moon night after a mating ceremony on a silky soft bed with mother nature’s, your mom’s and my brother’s blessing.” 

“Gguk..” Jimin’s vision blurred.

“There’s nothing more to it baby. I– I’m so sorry that you wanted to be a part of the fight but you know you’re still a part of us. I would leave you behind at home if I didn’t trust you. Did I, though? Even now you still take care of wounded ones, help around the camp and do everything you can. Means, you’re still a part of our win and I am so fucking proud of you. So proud that you’re my everything. That you’re mine. I mean it Minn–”

Jimin pulled Jungkook and kissed him on the lips. Tears that he held so long rolled down his face. The alpha sent his palms under his thighs and lifted him, still kissing Jimin back. Once they were apart, Jungkook nuzzled into Jimin’s neck, scenting him.

Maybe Jimin had been insecure. Jungkook was everything anyone could wish for. Every single omega in their pack and even in spring festival omegas from other packs wanted him. And there he was, just a beta. Maybe that’s why Yong’s words hit him. Maybe he was scared of being less.

But when his eyes met Jungkook's shining, hopeful black orbs he realized that his Jungkook had always been his no matter what.

“I was so scared, Minnie. I was scared that if I confessed and you didn’t love me back, you would break our friendship too and I couldn’t have it. Your mom was my family too. You were mine and I couldn’t lose–”

“Wait. Love you back? So that means..” Jungkook stared at him before throwing his head back laughing. His rich, happy music-like smiles filled Jimin’s ears and heart.

“I love you, silly. I’ve always loved you. You’ve always been mine just how I was, am, will be yours.”

Silly

Maybe that’s what he always had been.

Silly and blind

Silly and in love

Silly and Jungkook’s.

Jimin smiled, pulling Jungkook into another kiss.

All tomorrows that were to come looked beautiful already.

* * *

Ten years later 

Jimin frowned. Annoyance took over him as he opened his eyes. He just wanted to lie down under the sunlight to take a small break. Playing with his pups was always fun but they were just too energetic just like their father. Maybe their mother also being a warrior added a bit more wildness. 

His eyes widened to see beta Yong kneeling in front of him. 

“Beta Yong what–” 

“I’m sorry beta Jeon. I still am. I was.. I was a shitty beta but I've changed. You can ask my mate if you want.”

“What are you talking about?” the older beta sighed. 

 “It’s been a decade since we signed an alliance with the Ming pack after the battle. It’s been a fucking decade!” 

Jimin didn’t understand what the beta was saying. Even though the man looked distressed, a smile spread on Jimin’s lips as his mind took him back to that day. A decade to their love confessions, to their first night, to the dreamy day that it all changed from just friendship to love. As his eyes looked over to their two sons playing with other pups, Jimin smiled to himself. His hand instantly started caressing his swollen belly that was making a home for their third pup. 

“Jimin please..”

“I don’t understand what you are trying to say, Yong Minggyu!” 

“That your alpha is still glares at me, giving me hard time because of what I said that night about my mate, that because of me, you were stressed and your first time was ruine–”

“Oh mother!” 

Jimin threw his head back laughing. He couldn’t believe Jungkook still had a sore spot about that enough to give Yong a hard time. It warmed his heart yet–

He gasped when he was pulled into a hard chest, practically making him sit on the familiar lap. 

“Alpha!”

“Commander!”

“Fuck off Yong! Stop bothering my pregnant mate. I swear more years will be added to your–”

“Y–yes alpha!”

Jimin stared at how fast Yong ran away from them and laughed loudly. His head nestled in Jungkook’s neck as tears rolled down his face. A sudden wetness on his face and he opened his lips as aroused spread through him, reacting to his mate licking his tears. 

“Alpha! You shouldn’t!”

“What? Fucking you right here? Because our pups can see?” Jimin’s breath accelerated. Jungkook smirked into his neck as he unbuttoned his shirt and pulled it from his shoulder and started kissing down the exposed skin. 

“N– No! Tormenting Yong!”

“If I said yes, can I fuck you right now, sweetness?”

“Jungkook no!”

“You can have only one wish granted, baby. Either me stop torturing Yong for ruining our first time or not fucking you in public.”

It wasn't new. Ever since they had mated with everyone’s blessing and Hoseok’s teasing after returning from the battle, it was like a leash had snapped from Jungkook. His affection and lust towards Jimin knew no limits. He made out with Jimin in front of the whole pack. He made love to his mate in between night festivals while others were literally sitting beside them. Yoongi once even caught them in the training ground but naked and had been traumatized ever since. 

But this was different. 

Their pups were there. 

Still, being a slut for his mate, Jimin knew he wanted the both– maybe Jungkook’s cock a bit more. 

“If you want it all to be fulfilled, you have to make a sacrifice.” Jungkook whispered, turning Jimin’s head towards him so they could stare at each other. 

“W–What?” 

“Let’s go to the hiding spot in the waterfall, just the two of us and experiment some.. vegetables on you before we use my cock for the same reason” 

Jimin watched Jungkook’s teasing smile for a second, two seconds and then burst out laughing. His twinkling sound filled the air and Jungkook’s heart. The alpha smiled. 

“Eomma! Appa!”

Their sons came running towards them. Little demons were in love with the sound of mother’s smile just as much as Jungkook. The alpha widened his legs and made Jimin sit in between before spreading his arms to welcome their pups. The two crashed in his warmth without hurting Jimin. Jungkook hugged them all in his chest, his heart aching with happiness. Three sweethearts of his, leaned into his warmth, soon it will be four and maybe more– if Jimin liked. 

“Hey sister. Come out soon. We will make you nice flower crowns.” Their oldest said, kissing Jimin’s belly. His fingers ran through the pup’s soft hair. 

“But appa, what if it’s another brother? I want a sister.” The little one said with a pout– a pout that was inherited from their mother. Jungkook smiled kissing Jimin’s hair before pecking the younger one’s hand.

“It will be a sister if the healer is right.”

“If not, eomma and appa can bring you a sister after the brother. Don’t worry.”

Fuck!

Jungkook was fucked. His cock throbbed hardening in his pants just to his mate admitting wanting to bear more of his pups. Jimin, the little menace smirked and stood up, walking away with their pups, his full hips swaying a bit harder. 

Another day to have blue balls. 

Yet Jungkook knew the night would be steamy, life would always be amazing.
