Phew just got home from hospital. My shoulder was a bitch today. I'm okay. Happy reading!

It was too hot when Jimin came back to the sensation of soft kisses pressed into his neck. He was lying on his stomach. A gentle hand massaged his lower back and he groaned, wincing as pain shot through his abdomen. The soft weight on his back was the only comfort to his burning skin as the touch alone cooled down his body.

"Shh..." A familiar tone hushed and Jimin inhaled lung full of his alpha's comforting rosewood and cardamom scent. "Wake up, sweetheart."

"Alpha," he groaned, burying his face into the pillow and lifting his hip silently in demand. His cock was pulsing with need and his hole clenched without anything inside. He could already feel how wet he was and his thick pheromones clouded the room.

"You smell so delicious, ylang-ylang." The soft growl reverberated all over his overheated body. The alpha licked over the sensitive area under his ear, dragging his tongue over his scent gland and began to suck the skin earnestly.

Slick began to drench his lower half as another wave of pain shot through his body.

"Alpha...n-need...please..."

"I'm here, my love." Jungkook slid into his view, rolling him to lie on his back as he hovered above him.

He removed the covers and Jimin realized he was dressed in nothing but in a softest pair of cotton shorts that felt light on his skin. The alpha's fingers slid under the waistband of his shorts. The omega lifted his hip again, allowing the alpha to remove the last material that was separating him from his alpha.

"Alpha...hurts..." He clawed at the alpha's chest, throwing his head back with a whimper. He immediately spread his legs, wrapping it around his waist.

"Shh...I got you, baby." The alpha freed his hardness and positioning himself between his thighs. "You ready?"

"Please..." Jimin arched his entire body. "Want you," he whimpered. "H-Hurts."

The omega growled when he heard the sound of a plastic wrapper being ripped off.

"Hush, my little prince. Let alpha take care of you the way you deserve."

"But—"

Jungkook thrust in smoothly, cutting him off and bottoming out in seconds before falling over him, catching himself in the last moment so he didn't crush the omega under his weight. The omega, however, wrapped both his hands and legs around the alpha, pulling him impossibly closer. All protests died in his lips when the alpha began to move.

The relief was immediate, but the tension was still tight in his stomach. His instincts were guiding him. The need to be filled with the alpha's cum and bred was like burning fire under his skin.

"F-Faster." His chest heaved.

The alpha pulled back, slamming into him with a force that knocked the breath out of him. It was exactly what he wanted. What he loved.

"Oh, God! Yes!"

Jimin clawed at the alpha's back as he arched his body. His alpha knew his body like the back of his hands. He knew how to trip him over the edge and how to please him.

The first wave of heat was always intense and the omega was too impatient to wait, wanting the alpha's knot in him as soon as possible. Jungkook knew this. He fucked into him with a vigor that caused his body to slide up and down the bed. The cockhead brushed against his prostate with every thrust, stimulating him deliciously.

"Oh, yeah! Just like that...Mhmm..."

Jungkook planted a hand beside his head, gripping his hip with the other as he pounded inside him. For the next few minutes all Jimin could do was to take it. The alpha wrapped his hand around his cock and stimulated him until he was cumming with a shout of his name on his lips.

"Jungkook...oh, fuck!"

His body trembled with his release, but the alpha showed no signs of slowing down. His growing knot caught his rim as his cock slid through his throbbing channel with purpose.

Jimin's legs slipped from where he had it wrapped around the alpha. His chest heaved, skin glistening with sheen of sweat and the remnants of his pearly white release. He clawed at the sheets as the alpha straightened and gripped both his legs. He pushed the back of his thighs, almost bending him in half as he continued to fuck him into his next orgasm that was steadily building.

The omega didn't even realize he had grown hard again, but that was what happened during heats. The wolf was in constant state of arousal with their instincts urging them to mate and breed.

"Gonna breed you nice and full, omega," the alpha growled above him.

The omega mewled in pleasure, eyes screwing shut as he lifted his hips to meet every powerful thrust. He took and took until he could no longer could. His orgasm slammed into him like a tidal wave, this one more intense than the previous one.

"Alpha!" he cried out, tears rolling down his cheeks at the intensity.

"That's it, darling. You're taking me so well."

"Please..." he begged. "Knot me, please...want your knot."

"It's yours, ylang-ylang."

He felt the knot at the base of his alpha's cock swell and the alpha's thrusts grew urgent. Jungkook, his alpha and mate was a vision to behold from this position. He was sweaty and his disheveled hair was plastered to his forehead. The last time he saw him, he had short hair with undercut. Now it was slightly wavy with natural curls and came down to his ears.

Jimin thought it added to his alpha's infinite sex appeal. Not to mention the eyebrow piercing that glinted in light and the droplets of sweat gathered in his forehead that was falling over him with every thrust.

Jungkook bit his own lip, tongue poking into his lip ring with a groan. "So fucking tight."

The knot grew bigger, causing it harder to move or pull out. Jungkook fell on top of him and ground his hips. The omega realized his pleasure had been building into a third orgasm he wasn't ready for. The alpha grinned as he took hold of his cock. He didn't jerk right away but toyed with the head of his cock, teasing as he spread the cum all over it.

"My beautiful mate," the alpha growled.

He moved his hand so slow but with a purpose that had Jimin's toes curl into themselves. His body arched into the alpha, lips parted in a silent cream when he felt the third release wash over him not even a minute later.

Jimin slumped on the bed, catching his breath. His vision almost blacked out and heart raced. As he slowly came down from the high, he felt the alpha's cock twitching inside him, pulsing and throbbing. So warm and hot.

The omega whimpered unable to feel the rush of his release inside him. The alpha wasn't breeding him as he promised. He began to claw at the alpha, unable to form a coherent sentence but the alpha seemed to catch on.

"Shh...baby," he spoke in a calming voice. "We didn't discuss about having pups beforehand."

"B-But I want it, alpha," he sobbed. "Why won't you breed me for real? Don't you want me that way? Am I just a trophy to you?" It was his heat talking. The omega was livid. It wanted pups. It wanted to be bred. It wanted to carry the alpha's heirs. But the alpha was denying them their right.

"I want it to," he said earnestly. He cupped the omega's face and forced him to meet his gaze. "But we have all the time in the world, don't we? Right now, we are in the middle of something dangerous, baby. You don't want to bring our pups right into this chaos, hmm? Don't you want Heesung gone before that happens?"

The omega sobered immediately upon hearing that name. "Heesung," he whispered.

"Yes, my darling. You know your alpha is at your service, right? Your happiness is my happiness. I'd give you everything you want."

Jimin nodded immediately.

"Don't you want our pups to be safe?"

The omega nodded again.

"Now it's not safe for them to be around, baby. So we gotta wait. Do you understand?"

"Y-Yes." Jimin swallowed. "Omega will wait. But promise me...you will breed me when it's time."

Jungkook kissed him lovingly. "I promise," he murmured against his lips. With the first wave of his heat subsiding, Jimin found himself somewhat lucid and relaxing as the alpha rolled over to settle him on his chest.

They caught their breath, the omega relaxing further, when the alpha stroked his hair and gently massaged his scalp. Jimin didn't react to suppressants well, but he had to use it because his alpha was too far to help him with his heats. He could already tell this heat was going to be the worst because of that. But now he had his alpha by his side. He had nothing to worry about when he had Jungkook.

He snuggled into his chest and inhaled his strong scent greedily. His mate. His alpha. His one and only. Jimin's chest rumbled with soft growls that resembled a purr.

"Why did you leave London?" Jungkook asked. "I told you to wait, didn't I?"

"Papa was in trouble," Jimin mumbled, feeling guilty. His scent began to turn sour and the alpha immediately kissed the side of his head.

"Hey, it's okay," he assured. "I'm sorry. I should have been honest with you about all this. It's my fault."

Jimin's lips wobbled when he glanced up at the alpha. Why does he have to be so sweet? He has always been like this. Even when he was at fault, he would always apologize first.

"Alpha..." He kissed him sweetly. "I love you."

"I love you too, my prince." Jungkook sighed, cupping his face. He caressed his cheeks with both his thumbs. "I was so afraid. You scared me to death, ylang-ylang." His voice was pained. "I almost broke my promise to you when I heard you were in a critical condition. I had to disguise as a bodyguard and was there outside your room all the time."

"Y-You were there?" Jimin's eyes widened. "Oh, my God!"

Jungkook nodded. "You think I'd leave you alone in the hospital. I promised to be by your side all the time, didn't I?"

"Jungkook," he sniffled.

"How do you think your father didn't find about the mating mark sooner? I spoke to the doctor and made him cover your mark all the time."

Jimin's eyes burned with more tears.

"But you weren't honest with me, my love. You told me you were sick and caught some viral flu. You lied to me on a broad daylight when it was the only thing these news channels telecasted for a week."

Jimin looked down shamefully.

"I had to play along because I didn't want you to worry. I was there, ylang-ylang. I could see your troublesome expression as you recovered. The way you would cry every time after our call and how hard you tried to keep your voice steady whenever you spoke to me over the phone. You wanted me out of harm's way and I wanted the same for you."

Jimin pressed his ears to the alpha's chest. He listened to the gentle, assuring beats of his mate's heart. There was a steady stream of tears on his face now. "I'm sorry. I was scared. I didn't want to lose you too."

"We are mated, my love. If something happened to you, no matter where I am, I'll follow."

"Jungkook..." Jimin was at loss of words as he lifted his head and stared at his mate. He swallowed thickly.

The alpha kissed him gently. "There's no other place I want to be, Jimin."

The omega nodded, holding the alpha tighter with a sniffle. Meeting the alpha all those years ago was a coincidence. Even at such a young age, Jimin felt something stir in his chest whenever he saw the alpha. Now when he thought about it, it sounded really cheesy.

But they both didn't even talk until the day Jungkook asked him out. Walking through the long halls of the school during every break, just to catch the glimpse of the alpha was Jimin's favorite thing to do. But as they grew up and Jimin presented, he felt more with every passing day.

He didn't like the way other omegas and betas eyed the said alpha. He hated when the omegas tried to get Jungkook's attention. He despised it when they would flock him wherever he went.

However, the satisfaction he felt whenever the alpha turned someone down was unmatched. For years, they talked to each other with soft gestures, shy smiles and intense gazes. When Jungkook left to go to college, Jimin was devastated. He had three more years before he could leave school and he didn't like it.

Then one day, when he was leaving the school Jungkook was there, watching him as he talked to a few friends. Jimin's cheeks had heated up and his scent bloomed. Taehyung often teased him, telling him to talk to the alpha at least. But Jimin never did. It didn't just happen. That was until one day a letter showed up in his locker. It was from the alpha.

Jimin didn't know when or how Jungkook managed to do that, but he recognized the mesmerizing scent. His handwriting was as beautiful as him. He almost squealed in joy and had to fight hard to suppress his scent so no one else would find out. Jimin had giggled giddily, eyeing the envelope every five minutes until the school was over.

The omega didn't dare open it until he was inside the safety of his room back home. Upon opening, he realized it was a note and not a letter.

Going away for a sports tournament and won't be back for another two weeks.

Take care.

-JK

Jimin read and re-read the note. While he was sad that the alpha was going to be away, he also appreciated that the alpha took his time to tell him about that. Two weeks later, there was a small teddy bear in his locker. The alpha's scent was so mild but he could tell it was from him. No one knew that the new toy he hung in his bag was a gift from the alpha.

Growing up, Jimin knew what was expected of him and how his father felt about the alphas. He was the apple of his father's eyes and he knew how much his father loved him. However, Jungkook wasn't just anyone though. He was a royal descendant too. A Jeon. But their families have drifted apart in the last decade or two. So Jimin didn't know how his father felt about them.

The omega had to be careful with his budding feelings. He was young but he knew what he felt for the alpha. When Jungkook walked up to him on his graduation day, gift in hand, his heart had fluttered. They've never spoken before.

"Congratulations, Your Highness," the alpha said, handing him the gift box.

"Thank you." Jimin tried hard not to blush under his intense stare, but his scent bloomed with how happy he was. His title sounded foreign in his tongue, but he knew it was customary and to anyone who was watching it would appear as if he was only congratulating him. He clutched the gift to his chest with a shy smile and glanced up at the alpha from under his lashes.

The alpha pulled something else from his pocket. A plain beige colored envelope. "This is no place to ask this, but I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to do this again if not today." He cleared his throat. "This is also not the way I should do it but I don't think I can wait any longer." He took a deep breath meeting his gaze. "I'd like to court you with an intention to mate." He bowed respectfully. "I'd respectfully accept whatever your decision might be." When he straightened, there was determination in his eyes. "If you choose to give me a chance, my number is in the envelope."

With that, the alpha respectfully took a step back and left with another bow.

Jimin knew there was no turning back once he said yes. Because he liked the alpha too. Maybe a bit too much. Still, he sat on it for two days before picking up his phone and texting the alpha.

To Jungkook:

Surprise me, Your Highness – Jimin

Their dating had eventually led them to mate during his heat. Through it all, the alpha had been polite, respectful and always having the best interest of Jimin in his heart. He should have known Jungkook wasn't someone who could be easily fooled. That he would always be on top of things, always ten steps ahead.

All this time, the alpha had Hoseok and Yoongi protecting him and he had no idea. He had witnessed how Jungkook's men took out Heesung's men. He should have known Jungkook would go to any lengths to protect him. But he had let his fear get the best out of him.

"I love you, alpha," he whispered. "I love you so much."

Jungkook smiled, fingers carding through his hair. "I love you more." He kissed his head again. "Your dad knows by the way. He is here along with your cousins."

Jimin's eyes widened. "What?"

"He was meeting my father to request our protection," Jungkook explained. "But then the attack happened and I had to bring you here. Not to add that you went into heat. I couldn't take you back to the hotel."

"Was Papa angry?" He was so out of it that he could barely open his eyes earlier. "How did he find out? Oh, my God! Did he see us together? What did he say?"

Jungkook chuckled. "Easy, my love. He saw me carrying you inside. He would have realized as soon as he got a whiff of our combined scents. I introduced myself to him. He looked confused but didn't seem angry."

"Oh no. I wanted to tell him first. I was going to as soon as I met him and then all this happened. The timing just wasn't right. Do you think he would be angry?" Jimin asked, worry etching his features.

"Your father is a reasonable man. He has every right to be angry. I should have met him long ago and asked for his blessing, as was the custom. But I didn't. He has every right to reprimand me."

Jimin sniffled, "I'm sorry I put you in this situation." He buried his nose into his neck.

"Shh... We got this, ylang-ylang. We are in this together." He rubbed his back. "First, let's get through this heat. Then we will worry about the rest, okay?"

"Okay. But how are you going to handle Heesung?" Jimin lifted his head. "He's got so much power and he's so bold that he's now attacking on broad daylight. This isn't the first time. Speaking of which, I don't understand why he didn't try to take me from the hotel." He frowned. "I mean he destroyed our mansion. But compared to our mansion, the hotel isn't that safe."

Jungkook grinned. "Because he knows what will happen if he touched any of the Jeon owned properties." He traced his cheek with his index finger. "But I doubt it would last long with how impatient he is growing with every day. I'm glad you're here."

"Oh."

"Also, Heesung isn't invincible. He can be killed too."

"I know. But still..."

"Heesung is a pest that should be eradicated from this world. I've been hunting him for the past two years. We have a new lead. He made a lot of mistakes due to his recklessness." He patted Jimin's cheeks. "Stop worrying, ylang-ylang. Let alpha take care of him, yeah? All you have to do is stay safe for me."

"I can't help it." The heavy weight in his chest seemingly lifted at his words and Jimin gave him an easy smile. Jungkook pouted, staring at him intently until Jimin exhaled with a slump of his shoulders. "Okay," he whispered. "I won't worry too much."

"Now get some rest before the next wave, my love."

Jimin nodded, closing his eyes and giving into the sleep that was waiting to take over.
