Blood.

Red.

His vision was extremely red when the Royal Alpha surveyed the surroundings of the Lavin. The sole of his shoes thumping on the ground could be heard from afar and it was enough for the soldiers to clutch their swords tightly. Their eyes were dripping with shame as well holding remnants of anger. They could swear on their birthplace to swallow down those traitors if only they knew their names. The traitors who dared to harm the Empress.

Their breath fell out of rhythm when the Royal Alpha flashed his angry gaze towards them before passing by the river, with the Royal guest Yunhee following him closely. Yunhee didn't say much when Taehyung walked out of his pavilion while gesturing a simple nod towards her, sensing his facial features, she could know that it's not the appropriate time yet.

The raging mind of the Royal Alpha wasn't letting him think straight, the vision that he often got when he had faced such situations of plagues, wars and battles weren't helping him at all. His mind was raging, hungry for blood and eyes were searching for redness in the surroundings.

He had seen such situations before as well where his cared ones got harmed by destiny, where he failed at protecting them, where destiny wretched them apart from him. But how could his heart feel the pain of the omega as it has never before? Why does his failure seem bigger, darker and severe at this moment? Why, instead of walking forward, his feet wanted to turn around and retrace the path to his own pavilion.

With no answers in his hands, Taehyung kept walking ahead. He filled his head with the excruciating need to correct his mistake, to tilt the periphery of the traitor's body from alive to dead.

His feet took him to the opened gate of the barracks where the soldiers had established their armors for the war. The Commander was awaiting, greeted the Royal Alpha once he saw him entering through the gate.

“The soldiers of the Western land had noticed two omegas taking a stroll at the end of the celebrations. But they said they were just mourning the absence of their mates who haven't appeared in their lives yet.”

Taehyung's eyes moved around the entire armory, the tip of his tongue felt the sharp canine and with a small puncture he tasted the blood of his own, “I see no such omegas.”

The Commander's fist curled behind his back when his nostrils pumped more air into his lungs, “I have asked the soldiers to bring them here. They should be here soon.” The sourness of his mouth felt humiliating when he looked down in front of the Royal Alpha. He wasn't afraid of the Alpha's wrath but his own pride felt a crucial block when the Prince fainted on his chest just after reaching their pavilion.

It was heart wrenching to see his mate lying unconsciously in their arms. They would have been left devastated if the Royal Alpha hadn't informed them about the rapid remedy immediately. The moments seemed to pass like an inch for an hour till the Royal omega vomited out the poison.

The throbbing veins inside his hands were crumbling down with an insane anger towards the person who had accomplished the deed under their nose. He will shred them apart.

Limb by limb.

However his shimmering eyes widened when he saw his other mate stepping inside the armory with a half conscious omega on his back. His feet moved to help Yoongi immediately, eyes glued to the pale face of the Royal omega, “Prince? Why are you here? Are you feeling any pain?” Worried eyes moving from the dull ones to the other pair that carried the same worries as him.

“He wanted to talk to His Majesty. I tried to persuade him to rest a little bit but…” Yoongi just shook his head and approached the nearest chair to kneel down enough for the omega to sit upon it. As soon as Jimin found the stability of the chair under his body, his mouth hurled to the left. His stomach had become empty at this point so his vomit carried only bits of water.

Yunhee uncovered the lid of the pot which was placed in the corner of the armory and offered Jimin a small amount of water. The Royal omega gargled and spitted out the leftover bitterness. He was inhaling harshly, hands coiling around his stomach to cure the pain when he felt a soft brush of cotton against his lips. With half lidded eyes, he watched the Commander hovering over his body while wiping his mouth with a gentle hand.

“You should have taken some moments of rest, Your highness.” He heard the voice of the commander and felt his heart breaking at the dripping guilt in them. His hand clasped around the Commander's wrist and made him sit on the half empty chair beside him. His body moved unconsciously as his head fell on the Commander's chest and a whimper of pain left his lips, “I tried but I couldn't survive the burden of not stopping this disaster when I could.”

Taehyung's eyes moved away from his miserable brother who seemed to have found some relief after being surrounded by the scents of his mates. A kind of relief that he snatched away from his own mate. Or maybe the Empress preferred to save the life of the traitors more than anything else.

Innocent.

Or foolish.

He has only two words to say for him because only destiny knows what will happen when those traitors will breathe the same air as him. He will pull out their veins one by one to see if the colour of their blood is still red or it turned white with their changing morals. The sharp inhale from the Royal Alpha made all of the people look towards him with fearful eyes. His Majesty was facing the wall but none of them needed to look at those glinting eyes to watch the blood shimmering down in them.

Taehyung could hear his brother mumbling out some words which seemed coherent enough to have some meanings but his ears were still ringing with the painful whimpers of the Empress to navigate the words in a full sentence. He pulled his body around and found Jimin still sobbing on the Commander's chest.

“Jimin.” He called.

“Speak again.”

Jimin tightened his arms around his stomach and used a bit of his strength to align against the Commander's chest from the side, “I know those omegas but I didn't know their evilness would create such hazard for all of us. When all of you went for the negotiations, at the dining grounds, I heard them defaming the Empress in their talks. I confronted them immediately, taught them how their opinion could lead them to a bad outcome. But I think they took my warning as some kind of bluff.”

Jimin looked up and sighed when he saw all of them were still staring at him as if he had grown two different heads, “I am not spewing nonsense here! Stop looking at me like this.”

“Pupper, you can't tell us some bits and expect us to understand everything altogether. Especially when nothing is making sense when it comes to some unknown omegas. You have to elaborate everything.” The Commander wiped away the trailing tears of the Royal omega and held him securely.

Jimin looked at his brother and started to tell, “ We were eating dinner when I heard how indecent it is for the Empress to choose to accompany you rather than staying back like some good omega. I wanted to oppose it but Jungkookie stopped me saying how people could have different opinions and we continued to finish our dinner. But then those ladies crossed the line when they started to compare their abilities with Luna in a demeaning way. When I confronted them, I found that those ladies were actually the daughter of Lady Pyuhani and her servant. And at the drinking stall, I saw them again. They were making fresh drinks with fruits and water so I thought maybe they were trying to repent their wrongdoings. But…”

“And you didn't tell me this before because?”

Jimin blinked his eyes to force out the pressure those words reflected on his heart…because there was no excuse other than, “I got indulge in my own head. Before the celebrations, during the preparations I had anxious thoughts about many things and in between all these, I completely forgot to inform you about those omegas.”

The Royal Alpha stepped ahead and kicked the shelf in front of him, making the spears and daggers scatter around the armory, “Tones of talk but the major ones are always forgotten! Why?”

The harsh snarl woke the Betas, making them flinch in their positions. Yunhee stared at the Royal Alpha in mild surprise while Jimin just buried his head under his mate's chin. The omegas kept their calm under those glaring eyes but it shook the core of Betas’. The Commander looked down while Yoongi stood up and strided till he stood in front of their mates. His stance is protective when he said, “It could be my speculation but I think these omegas have planned to specifically harm the Empress. And it's just a tragedy that all of the pack omegas got included in it so that the doubts on their deeds won't appear as heinous as it is. And I think Your Majesty… we should keep our calm while confronting these culprits.”

Yoongi silenced himself when that burning gaze glared at him, he looked down immediately and thought to inhale his words back but the Alpha was already approaching him. He stepped back a little when the raging pheromones of the Alpha started to dense the air around them. He could only see his shoes with the way his neck folded in front of the Alpha when he heard, “Saying it while tucking your omega under your chin seems quite easy. I wonder how your Lunar genes would have found peace if he wasn't in front of your eyes but laid inside an abandoned pavilion right now! So before showering awareness on me find that person who did this. Their blood will make my calmness crawl back to me.”

This is the second time Taehyung had warned them to find that person themselves because if he stepped out to find it's own.. the whole pack will see the wrath he is controlling inside his veins. The absolute lava that was burning his insides and igniting further with each inhale could embark a bad fortune on Western land for generations.

The smallest voice present in the armory whimpered in pain and Taehyung moved back from his stance and looked over at his brother, “ Stay here till you recognize the omegas and then you can leave for your chambers.”

Jimin's eyes were swollen from the decisive effects of the poison and the trailing tears down to his cheeks. His feline eyes appeared to vanish under those heavy eyelids when he opened them to reciprocate his brother's gaze, “I want to be with my mates.”

The misery those omegan eyes hold, left Taehyung groveling in the memory when the same wish was downed upon him by his mate. Once again his tongue found the canine to prick its tip so that he could swallow his guilt but Jimin continued, “ Their scent is helping me with my pain and I don't want to be an understanding, insightful and pliable Royal omega right now.”

The next breath came out to be a little bit difficult but the Royal Alpha took it and nodded in response, “ Then enjoy your fortune, brother.” The permission was rushed as if the Alpha would rather slit his brother's throat then compile but to avoid that he rushed out some words and turned around. The Commander noticed that and was about to stand when Jimin tightened his coiled arms around him while shaking his head.

He is wallowing in regret. I think his court responsibilities are getting in the way of his duties towards his mate. The shallow voice of the omega alerted their mates in the mindlink.

Isn't it time we help him through it? The Commander suggested because he has just felt how gut wrenching it is to keep performing one's responsibilities while his mind is immersed in the sorrowful images of his mate. The urgency to flee out from the surroundings and confine themselves in the concern of his mate only seems more important than wherever.

Let him choose. The Royal omega and the Commander both looked towards the red haired Beta who was still looking down at his feet before lifting his gaze towards his mates. Let him choose as the Emperor and as the Alpha of his mate, his choice could set an example for the society to follow on the same accord.

Trembling hands were taking out some folded hanfus from the closet when a sharp clinking of sword made Mooshin flinch, making all the hanfus scattered on the floor.

“They are coming. They are coming to catch us, Gyuri. What should we do now? You had said that they wouldn't know about this! They will bury us alive, I-I have to tell lady Pyuhani-”

“Nothing will happen, Mooshin. Don't you believe me?” Opposite to the fearful eyes of the maid, Gyuri was sitting on her mattress with a peaceful smile on her face. A shining lapel of her hanfu was spread over her lap as she tucked a fist under her chin and looked at her friend.

She gestured to her to come closer and make her sit on the bed, “Moreover, the time has come where I would finally… meet His Majesty. Don't you think instead of fearing the future, we should prepare ourselves for my happiest moment? His eyes will be on me, Mooshin… He will look at me for the sole purpose of knowing me more.”

Mooshin shook her head frantically, cursing her destiny to fall in this trap woven by her own friend, “You are not in your senses, Gyuri. When you implanted wormwood in the fruit pots, I told you to not do it!! But you convinced me that the quantity is less, it will only make them fall asleep for a while but look around Gyuri! People are screaming in pain, this is not what you wanted right?”

Her smile dimmed a bit as she looked almost doubtful, “So you are backing off now? It's true that I didn't think that things would turn out in such a way but if this is all it takes to make me stand in front of my Alpha's gaze then I can do it again, Mooshin.”

Mooshin's lips were turning blue by the frequent times she has bitten on its skin but in no vain as she cried again, “You are not thinking like the lady of the Western land. Lady Pyushani was right, you are ruining yourself for him. Do you really think His Majesty will look at you with love, and praise you for your heinous deed?”

“I might be ambitious but I'm not a fool, Mooshin. I know that he will kill me the same moment as I accept my crime.” Gyuri said while unfolding another hanfu to look at its colour.

“So? Are you thinking of not accepting it?” Mooshin grabbed her head and blinked rapidly to stop the bursting headache. She left flabbergasted when Gyuri nodded her head and said, “Till I get what I want, yes.”

The small amount of fear and respect drained out of Mooshin when she started to laugh at the absolute moron sitting on the bed, “And your one denial will stop His Majesty from slithering our throats? I would have showered you with gold for such humour.”

“You are.forgetting.you are talking to the lady of the Western land. I have many tricks down my sleeves, Mooshin. No one would be able to touch us. Moreover, they are Royals, if they can't find evidence against us, their dignity won't let them punish two vulnerable omegas.” When her talks finally started to make sense, Mooshin let her hands move down and sat on the bed once again. Maybe Gyuri really has some plan to dodge this disaster out from their lives.

“B-but I still think we should inform Lady Pyuhani.”

Gyuri raised her hand, “Not now. Let me fill my vision with the Royal Alpha without any disturbance first. Her anxious and bulbous talk will only ruin my scenery.” Her smile returned on her face when she found a blue hanfu woven with silvery embroidery, “What about this? It will be best for this night, won't it?”

Gulping down her fears for one last time, Mooshin could only nod her head in agreement. She was aware that now her life only depends on these frantic tantrums of the lady. She felt like a puppet who performed each and every node just because her owner said so. So what could be the choice that was left in her hands then to choose Gyuri like always.

However Gyuri's dreams to embellish herself in her newest hanfu float away in the Lavin when sharp knocks open the door with a jerk of wind. Both of them stood beside the mattress when four soldiers stepped inside the chamber, “Both of you are summoned by the Emperor to the Royal armory.”

Mooshin stood in front of Gyuri and exclaimed, “You can't take us without the permission of Noble lady Pyuhani.”

“Why? Is there any reason to fear?” One soldier asked and at those few words the omega's eyes widened in anxiety.

“No. But the law says omegas should-”

“No law surpasses the order of His Majesty. If you refuse to follow us, we will be confined to taking some cruel measures.” The soldiers encircled the two omegas, not even trying to hide their threatening postures.

“I am known to be a good healer myself, Mooshin. It's possible that His highness asked for my opinion in such a gruesome situation. We will follow you, please lead the way.” Gyuri smiled calmly while holding Mooshin's hand beside her.

The soldiers stormed out of the chamber and Gyuri made Mooshin look towards her. Her green eyes twinkled with tremendous stars, “What more proves destiny needs to give to show my true love, Mooshin? In such a cruel situation, His Majesty decided to meet us rather than staying by His Empress's side. What does it say about his love towards his mate? towards me? And towards the folks of Western land?”

Mooshin was speechless when Gyuri dragged her out of the chamber where four of the soldiers were waiting for them to join. Mooshin looked down when one of the soldiers flashed his sword towards them and moved ahead. She doesn't know what her fate holds but she doesn't want this night to turn out her last autumn moon festival in Western land.

Taehyung was facing the weaponry of daggers when he heard small chaos outside of the armory and then the scent of two omegas along with four soldiers spread around the chamber. His ears spiked when his brother gasped and muttered his agreement while recognizing the faces of the omegas.

The Royal Alpha closed his eyes and heaved a calm sigh, his wolf howling inside the body, eager to convey that he had fulfilled the duty to find the culprits. His shoulders remained taut with the amount of eyes staring at his back.

Gyuri bowed to all the Royals present in the chamber and looked above before turning her gaze towards the Alpha who was facing away from them. She heard the small voice of the Royal highness but decided to pay no mind to it when the Royal Alpha was already turning towards her. So she decided to greet, “Y-”

Her voice got silenced when the Emperor raised his hand and kept facing the weaponry while ordering the soldiers, “Keep them under house arrest along with their family members. His Empress will hold a court tomorrow to decide their punishment.”

No one moved inside the armory for a moment, everyone stared at the Emperor, seeking more words, anger or maybe the dagger that he was twirling all over fingers but when nothing came as per their expectations, soldiers moved first to accomplish the order. Mooshin saw Gyuri's hands fisting her chima while looking at the Royal Alpha desperately.

“But I have done nothing wrong.” All of the eyes present in the armory were now focussed on the green eyed omega except Taehyung. She hesitated when the Commander's heavy gaze made her look down but then this will be her only chance and she can't let it get destroyed by the Alpha like this.

But as if destiny was playing another game with her. Because just when she may start the victimization of her presence at that drinking cart, the doors of the armory opened and two more Royal guests stepped inside.

“Jimin! Are you alright?”

It was Kenji… fully drenched from head to toe with a similar looking Nami following behind him, “We heard about the poison, have you found those rats yet?”

Jimin didn't need to use his voice, his one gaze made Kenji stand in front of those omegas who looked close to disappearing when the Alpha towered upon them. Mooshin shrinked behind Gyuri to hide herself from the dark glaring eyes, the omega in front wasn't different because this isn't what her mind prepared her for.

“Why did you do this? What was your purpose? Are there any more people in your cult?” Gyuri wasn't prepared for these questions so she could just shake her head and say the untold, “His highness may have misunder-”

The loud slap resonated around all the weapons before clinking against Gyuri's cheek, making her fall on the floor. Mooshin screamed and sat down beside her friend while looking up to plead, “Apologies, Lord Kenji, Apologies.”

“What a clown you are, lady! It takes ages for people to speak in front of His Highness and here you are countering his judgement in front of us. Must have a cult of witches behind your back, won't you?”

Gyuri flipped her neck up to stare at the Royal guest, her eyes brimming with insulting tears as she looked towards the Royal Alpha only to feel dumbfounded when she found the entire chamber thoroughly empty from his presence.

All the other words fell deaf to her ears as she looked around frantically because she didn't see His Majesty leaving the chamber at all so just where he disappeared? Her eyes blinked from one place and opened to another but none of her vision received the image that she was craving for.

Jimin stood up from his seat with the help of the Commander and looked at Yunhee before walking out of the armory. Yunhee took the charge wordlessly and gestured to the soldiers to capture the omegas under house arrest. She ordered to bring the family members of both ladies so that she would know how much depth this attack actually holds. Nothing… absolutely nothing will escape from her piercing gaze.

Sang stashed the last bundle of logs in front of the pavilion when he felt the familiar presence behind his back. He turned around to find his friend standing in front of the pavilion's gate but not going inside, just staring at the gate with upset eyes.

“Tae…”

Sang called his friend, the same childhood friend with whom he had spent nights crying at the loss of his mother. Both were hot headed from the beginning, influenced by the personality of the former Royal Alpha. But the only difference that makes them individual was that Taehyung was expressive with his emotions, even if he says his heart collapses while talking but he used to share his emotions with him. And Sang got to know the benefits of communication when Yunhee arrived in his life as his mate.

However, Taehyung lost that precious thing while suffering from the past. His once expressive eyes buried those emotions beneath the passing centuries. Sang has witnessed his barren eyes for all those centuries but now when he watches his eyes upholding the chaos, reflecting pain and pleasure, he doesn't know how to handle it. Should he feel glad, almost overwhelmed to see him gaining the colours of life or should he feel that threatening fear that destiny always brings upon his friend?

They used to share the bond where they can show their bloodied, snootful and wretched faces to each other so Sang felt a bit relief when Taehyung turned around and didn't try to hide his sadness from him. His eyes held the sorrow of his omega's suffering and some bits of madness here and there.

“Have you tried to go inside?” Taehyung's chin pointed towards the pavilion as his large eyes asked a question from Sang.

Sang nodded while sighing in defeat, “I tried but…” He looked towards the pavilion which was still enlightened with the fire that was ignited by the Royal Alpha.

“But what? Is he still sleeping?” It's unnatural. The method he used to trick the omega only knocks out the opponent for half an hour or so. Before his mind could formulate the position of his fingers to see if he made any mistake while performing the method, Sang shook his head and then tilted his face in confusion.

“The Empress is sleeping but the omega is wide awake.”

“What?”

“Hmm. I went inside to install new logs in the furnace but the blue eyed omega kind of snarled at me. I think he took over because his human didn't expect the trick you pulled so to counter that he is protecting him till he gets conscious again.” Sang explained while moving the axe from his left hand to the right one.

“Have you caught the almighty omegas who caused all of this?” He asked.

A bent occured over the eyebrows of the Royal Alpha as if he got reminded of something unpleasant, still he nodded. Sang groaned in satisfaction and asked again, “Who are they?”

Taehyung clicked his canine before flicking the upper lip, “Same old. Just some desperate omegas.”

“Desperate ones? How do you know?”

“They reeked of their greed, Sang. I had thought werewolves have started to evolve their nature but centuries apart and we are still standing here.”

Nostrils flared with annoyance as Sang flicked his wrist and broke apart another log, “ What do they even think of Royals? A mere object to adorn when they feel ugly in their own skin? Though not all werewolves are the same, not all just want a knot in their holes and satiate the need to slick out.” Sang delivered the thought without feeling offended by the Alpha.

“Yes. Not all. But it's tragic that some of the werewolves are still like this.” The Alpha couldn't dwell on these thoughts much when Sang chuckled and rested his axe in the middle of another log, “ Let's not talk about all but the one that's waiting inside the pavilion. I didn’t dare to approach after his first snarl to not stress the omega. But I think you should go inside now.”

Taehyung's eyes flicked towards the opening of the pavilion once again, “Luna must be… upset with me. He had forbidden me to use my powers on him and I broke my words.”

Sang followed the Royal Alpha’s gaze, mouth parting in realization behind his friend's hesitation, “Have you made a promise to not do it anymore?” He has centuries of experience in handling his own omega when he had made her angry in different situations.

“Kind of.”

Sang left the axe on the halfway cut log and folded his arms against his chest, “So you did. Well… argumentatively you have used your strength not your power so that saves you from being a foul mouth. But using strength against your mate too will be considered as offensive so if we look at the good side… at least he won't snarl at you.”

The Royal Alpha was still looking passively at his friend and brushed his thoughts away with a slow turn towards the pavilion, “Yunhee must be -”

“I will look for her. I love to seek her out in her absence. You know I'm insane like that.” Sang smiled while retracing his steps back on the path before he could hear the annoying grumble of the Royal Alpha at his classy remark, “On the contrary of our talks, I have collected the goods you have requested me to. I have sneaked them inside the pavilion near the fireplace. And if you feel foolish while doing what you should be doing right now, just remember that… you deserve it.”

Taehyung watched his friend skipping the lanes of the pond while turning around the corner of another pavilion. When the silence of the night fell in between his feet and the distance between the pavilion, the thoughts urged back in his mind with full force. But his feet conquered those thoughts when the image of the omega's drenched clothes flashed in his mind.

His hand reached out to pull away the few layers of thick curtains but not the seventeen centuries had prepared him for the vision he got presented inside. He was standing on the threshold with feet deep rooted to the ground while eyes holding the gaze of royal blue ones.

The Empress was sitting in the middle of the mattress, hugging his feet over the duvet. Blazing blue eyes staring right over the Royal Alpha's face with a numbing expression. The once dripping hairs have found a place to stick over the shoulders. The glinting fire in the furnace was highlighting the rosy hue around the omega's eyes and nose. The lips tell another tale entirely, swollen and coloured in remnants of rain.

Those eyes blinked and the head moved in a bow to greet the Alpha. Taehyung's feet librated themselves from the caged threshold where the constant gaze of the omega had arrested him. However, instead of moving towards the mattress… the Royal Alpha grabbed the satchel beside the furnace and sit beside it.

He pulled out some logs and filled the diminishing furnace to enhance the fire as the night started to turn colder than before. When the new blocks started to catch the fire, Taehyung coiled his fist around their end and pushed them more towards the fire before leaving it to burn on its pace. He took out a small iron box from the satchel and placed it beside the burning blocks.

When the Royal Alpha stood up and turned around to face the omega, Kookie didn't expect those grey eyes blazing golden. His lips parted, eyes enlarging when his Alpha stepped towards him, “Alpha?”

“How are you feeling now? Is there any pain?” Van asked while standing beside the mattress, looking down at the omega.

Kookie hugged his knees together and smiled lightly, “We are habitual to stomach aches but my legs and hands are throbbing. So it may take some time to heal.” He remembered consoling themselves during the painful heats that always made them writhing on bed for some handful of days. So he can adamantly handle this stomach pain but his muscles around the hands and legs felt as if someone had slashed the tissues and just stuffed those crumbles back inside the skin.

“Is His Empress alright?” Van asked while sitting at the edge of the mattress. His hand spread over the duvet and the dampness around it made his heart ache differently.

“He thinks that we made your human upset. Did we?” It was endearing how their wolves have adapted the habits of their humans where they ask questions instead of answering to the asked one. And Van didn't hesitate in front of those blazing eyes and accepts his defeat.

“His Empress didn't. But I can't say the same for the omegas who caused this attack.” Van looked down when his eyes darkened at the mention of such omegas. As he would not like to cause anymore threat around the pale looking omega.

“Are they still alive?” Kookie asked the unknown.

“Wasn't that your wish to spare their lives?” The accusation in this question made the omega a little bit exasperated, his lower lip pressing the upper one slightly as he looked the other way.

“Not mine. But Jungkookie thinks differently, actually… he thinks a lot. Sometimes his thoughts cause us headaches too. ” The omega was babbling now, putting both palms under his chin as he stared longingly at the burning fire.

“His thoughts were valid though,” Van countered, “But now… after knowing the reason behind such wicked sin makes me want to shred those culprits apart.”

Van heard an inaudible gasp and looked at the omega whose eye blinked rapidly to keep his focus at bay, “What reason?” Kookie was struggling to keep the colour of his eyes blue, maybe the human woke up and tried to surpass its territory but the wolf was resisting.

“It's similar to those omegas who once appeared during our rut around the treehouse.” His reply was calm as if it wasn't objectifying his dignity to imagine the same scenarios in his head. But then he saw the changes in his omega, those blue eyes darkening as he fisted the duvet above his knees.

“Don't they have a conscience of their own? You are… you are courted to me how they can… This is pure disrespect!! They should be punished right at this instant!” The urgency of his voice made Van sprung on his knees and cradle his face delicately. His hand just ran from the wet scalp to the cold cheeks when the omega blacked out onto his palms. Head tilted east as all of his face got shoved into Alpha's hands.

The Royal Alpha blinked his eyes and the golden orbs again hid behind the grey shades of his human. Taehyung helped the omega till his head touched the wet pillow and sighed lightly. With the igniting light in the fire, he wished that the next consciousness of the omega would bring the Empress back to him.

He decided to let the omega rest on the mattress while adjusting the new one around the fireplace to heal the omega's cracked muscles. His boots chimed against the floor of the pavilion due to excessive moisture present in them, so he decided to discard his shoes in one corner and walked barefoot around the other half of the mattress.

This half part of the mattress was still dry so he plucked out the edges of the sheet and separated the dry mattress completely. Hoisting it over his arms till he found a secure place around the wood fire was the easier part of the task. His trunk provided him with new sheets, wafting in his scent but he only had these to spread upon the mattress so with deliberate but sure steps, Taehyung tucked the corner of the sheet under the mattress and prepared it.

He moved to take some dry clothes out of his trunk and walked to the Empress once again. However, his steps halted when he saw the Empress looking at him with his barely open eyelids. The complaints that he had on his tongue, that he prepared before stepping inside the pavilion, that he provisioned while being confined in the armory, vanished away at the slight blink of those eyelashes.

Taehyung went closer and didn't stop himself till he sat beside the omega and stared at him, “You need to change your clothes with dry ones.” He stretched his hand above the Empress's waist where his own were clasped together. But Jungkook couldn't move, his hands felt too heavy as if they turned into stone and got clamped around his waist.

“Pain…”

He left out the small world and Taehyung didn't need to ask anymore. He concealed the clothes over his lap and hovered above the omega, one hand going under his neck while the other grabbing the small of his back. Jungkook whimpered when the Alpha pulled his body and made him sit along with him. Taehyung stood up from the mattress while his hands remained on the omega's waist as he changed his position from sitting in front to sitting behind the omega to support his back.

Jungkook's shivering back met against the Alpha's chest as the pain in his stomach spiked once again. The Empress lost his balance and rested his head over the Alpha's shoulder defeatedly. Taehyung's hand hovered at the top of the omega's head, eyes witnessing the quivering shoulders silently. A light sigh left his open lips when he reduced the distance and his hand sprawled over the omega's head in a calming gesture.

The sniffling sounds of the omega were more tender than his silent hiccups when Taehyung asked, “I hope the reason behind such tears… isn't me.” Soon he felt the head under his palm moving in a short nod. The Alpha moved his hand down to the length of those red hairs when Luna turned his face and looked at him.

“ Are you upset with me?” Jungkook asked instead of replying to the question that was much evident in the Alpha's eyes.

“About what?”

Stubborn.

Stubborn Alpha.

Jungkook thought before heaving a sigh to form the words, “When I stopped you from giving those girls their deserved punishment.”

Fool.

Taehyung felt like a fool at his thoughts when he imagined conquering these wide eyes any time soon. In reality, he would fail. He would fail right under those trembling lips and fluttering lashes but not before pushing this misunderstanding away, “No. Don't look at it as some argument. It was a discussion for me.”

“Have you…”

Jungkook wanted to push the treacherous tears away from his eyes but his whole body felt crushed under the heavy weight of his bones. His eyes fell closed momentarily when the Alpha brought his thumb against his cheeks, caressing the moisture away as he answered, “No. I have ordered the soldiers to keep them under house arrest. You can organise a court once you feel better and take the decision.”

The omega didn't like the tone, moreover, he didn't like how the Alpha said the words to him. The disconnection, the remoteness as if the Alpha talking to him from the farthest distance. His muscles twisted beneath the skin when Jungkook gathered all of his strength and moved under the Alpha's arms, brushing his back away while pushing his shoulder into the Alpha's chest, his eyes held the piercing gaze.

Taehyung bent his knee immediately, supporting the omega's back as he listened, “ Why me? I mean… Why not you, we?”

“My previous decision seemed quite unethical to the Empress. So I better not take part in the court.” The words raised the dwelling frustration in Jungkook's eyes, making them swell once again. The Alpha's thumb moved to wipe his tears but it was unimportant at this point because the fresh ones sprung up once he started to talk, “ It wasn't about the legality of the decision. It was more about the current situation we are facing against the strays. I thought they could use this disturbance to spread malicious rumours between the folks, revolting their trust in us. But all of it was before I got to know the reasons why those ladies did this. I apologise.”

“What are you apologising for? For showcasing your thoughts in front of me? I don't comprehend any moment where I have shown mistrust on your court judgements for you to feel inferior about your ability to think rightfully.”

Jungkook shook his head slowly and lowered his gaze in between their bodies, “I shouldn't have stopped you from killing them. I should have let you finish the roots before you could have found the reason behind their heinous act.”

Taehyung pulled his hand away from the tangled tassels,“Then don't allow me now, Your Grace. Or I may lose all of my sanity and bury them right under this pavilion.” The ignited fire in the furnace got blamed for the way omega looked when he met his eyes again. The flushed nose, eyes and chin still upholding the hue of frozen blood around them.

Jungkook wanted to use his hands so badly, he wanted to touch the Alpha's cheeks, his hands and apologise but his hands kept laying across his lap lifelessly so decided to speak, “ They will regret this act of disrespect. But what makes me feel inferior is my ability to not recognize  their real motives sooner. I thought it was due to some dissembling of Strays or a trap to spread fear amongst the folks. I didn't imagine they could stoop this low.”

Taehyung took the omega's hand on his own and felt how the hands had gotten stiff from the cold. He pressed his palms all around the frozen fingers and swirled the farthest ring in the little finger, “But people say it's a natural tendency of an omega to charm an Alpha and it should not be punishable.”

“What?” The disbelief and pain was written all over the omega's face so he moved his hands to pull out the ring and elaborated further to relieve the pain.

“Do you remember when I shared about the omegas that tried to make a trap around my treehouse?”

Distaste spread all around the omega's body, making his mouth twist in sourness, “Yes.”

“When I came back after a week, I organised a court to decide their punishment. However, their guardians came up with better, culturally acceptable excuses and created a normalcy of the act.” Taehyung removed all the rings successfully and moved to the clammy wrists that hold a few bracelets. He unclasped the knots and opened them one by one to free the omega from all the heavy accessories.

Jungkook kept staring at the Alpha in sheer disbelief who was just removing jewelleries from his wrist as if the memories weren't hurting him at all but for Jungkook, his heart squeezed and then bubbled with lava, “ How is this possible? What excuse could they give when they sent their own daughters and sons to exploit your honour like that?”

Taehyung took a towel from the pile of clothes he sat on the mattress and brought it closer to his hands to wrap them under it. He leaned lower towards the omega's right shoulder to unhook the shoulder ornament, “As far I remember they said something about how their instincts were at peak and the scent of my wolf attracted them. Said how it should be a prideful moment for me that such an amount of omegas wanted to sacrifice themselves for me. Said how reluctant I was towards my duty to provide an heir for my kingdown. Said how they were concerned and decided to find a healthy omega. How it was for the betterment of Eclipse and not a disrespect but a chance to release-”

“You are doing this on purpose, aren't you?”

Taehyung's hand stopped in the middle where they were wrapped around the omega's bicep to finally separate the long chains of the ornament and asked, “What am I doing, Luna?”

Jungkook inhaled sharply and looked away, avoiding the awaiting eyes and biting his tongue to ask, “ That's unacceptable.”

The ornament slid down the omega's neck and fell over his lap for the Alpha to gather it and place it on the ottoman beside all the rings, “ No. On the basis of these excuses, the ministers of court voted that the act was inoffensive. Hence, unpunishable.”

Jungkook used to imagine many things while talking to the Royal Alpha but never had he imagined himself throwing his hands away and strangling him on the floor or pushing the towel and flew back to the time to pick and peel the eyes of those ministers. But out of his imagination, all he could do was raise his eyes and look at the Alpha with fury burning behind his eyelids, “ What happened after that?”

Jungkook won't be able to handle the disappointment he would feel if those culprits got to escape from their punishment so it was important for him to know the truth. Taehyung held his gaze with an adamant tilt of his head and answered, “ I removed the entire hierarchy of ministers and established a more feared Eclipse. A kingdom whose judgements won't depend on someone's opinion but mine. Where my words become their governance and my rules serve as new ethics of the society. I spent a few decades being hated upon. Generation after generation when people felt the peace in the environment, saw the wonders of some strict discipline, they started to accept it and that's how today's Eclipse comes into view.”

After hours and hours of tormentation, Jungkook's heart finds peace. His shoulders slumped with a shuttered sigh as he closed his eyes momentarily. His gaze fluttered to the Alpha's hand which was now working cautiously on his earrings. He slanted his neck to help the Alpha but the latter was already retrieving his hand with the golden piece.

The omega could swear that he didn't know how the Alpha did it but he focussed on the touch again when the same happened to his other ear. The touch was delicate, the experienced finger moved smoothly and then the Alpha was already putting those earrings on the ottoman.

Taehyung's eyes were down when his hands worked on the sash and norigae. The knots unfolded and the jewellery gathered around the hips of the omega. He picked all the studs and stones deliberately, only leaving the chain of diamonds that goes down to the flares of chima.

The Royal Alpha spread his warm hands over the omega's shoulder before pressing down the brooch which was covering the knots of his upper shirt. The absence of consent lurked Jungkook's heart out of its ribcage. His body welcomed the roaming eyes but the warm hands kept sending a trail of shivers all over.

Taehyung upturned the lapels of the shirt and slid it down the omega's shoulder. He removed the towel from the Empress's hands and discarded the shirt completely. Now, the only excuse of cloth covering Jungkook's body was the undershirt that was wrapped all around his chest and upper waist. A rough shaped corset made with soft cotton was hugging his flushed body.

Jungkook looked down when he felt the small dabbing of a towel under his neck that further went down to his covered chest and back to the shoulders to consume the bits of moisture off of his skin. His eyes were rising up slowly and the Alpha's gaze cascaded down simultaneously and a vague wall spread in between their bodies in the form of a towel.

Taehyung has raised the towel in between their bodies till the omega changes his undershirt with the one he placed on his lap. His eyes were refusing to see the omega in such a vulnerable state but ear perked up when he heard the slightest exhale from behind the towel, “Are you alright?” He asked.

Jungkook wanted to thank the Alpha for choosing to spread the wall of towel in between them or he would have melted right under his warm hands. His own hands have become warm enough to move and remove the undershirt with slow movements. So he unwrapped the corset and let it fall on the top of the duvet behind him before going to wear the oversized shirt over his head.

His body released an involuntary sigh when the scent of his mate drowned his body entirely. When he opened his eyes, he found his lips smiling at the delightful fate where he had found a mate who looks so stubborn in changing his clothes while still sitting in his own drenched clothes. His smile slipped off his lips when he heard the question of the Alpha.

“Yes. Thank You.”

His hands were able to move but his feet remained rooted under the Chima as if gotten lost in the frozen sea. But the pants over his lap was the indication that he had to change the skirt as well. He pulled at the knot of the drawstrings and then loosened up the chain around his hips. Jungkook placed his palms on the duvet to push himself up and descend the skirt down to his legs.

But the problem wasn't that, he knows he can handle the discardment of the skirt but the problem started when his bare legs stretched and crossed the vague wall before striking against the knees of the Alpha. He stared at the towel with wide eyes and then down to his legs before pulling them back behind the towel. His hands flattened the pants and wore them but when he started to clasp its drawstrings around his waist, his legs slided above the Royal Alpha's thighs this time.

He closed his eyes in shame, neck burning with flush as he again folded his knees behind the towel and pushed the chima down the mattress. Taehyung brought down the wall and draped the same towel on the top of the Empress's head.

Jungkook blinked and found his hair being tucked under the dry towel altogether. Before he could touch the towel, the Alpha was already on his feet. His body wasn't unprepared when the Alpha hovered above him and swept him off the mattress. His arms spread around the Alpha's neck as a sharp gasp left his lips quivering in sudden movements.

For the few steps that the Alpha took towards the dry mattress, he didn't look down at the Empress in his arms. Instead focussed on the blocks which were on the verge of getting extinguished inside the furnace. However, Jungkook's vision only held the Alpha's sharp jaw, the mole on his nose and then the empty canvas of his neck to stare upon.

Taehyung kneeled on the mattress and helped the Empress to get comfortable while draping the dry blanket over his body, “Rest for a while.” Jungkook was about to hold the Alpha's hand but the latter was too quick to slip away from his grip and moved away from the mattress.

The Alpha added a few wooden blocks inside the furnace and then turned towards the closet once again. Jungkook stared at the Alpha's back longingly till his vision changed from the blue hanfu shirt to the drenched golden skin. His gaze remained stoic as the Alpha took out another towel and rubbed it around his back, shoulders and chest. Jungkook wasn't even blinking when the skirt fell down and Alpha was just standing there with a towel on his shoulders and the cotton pants of the hanfu.

He watched the contracting muscles when the towel slipped away from his shoulders and fell down on the floor. Luna's face was covered with duvet, only the flushed nose and eyes peeking out to look around and breathe properly. But the Alpha snatched both liberties when he started to pluck the knots of the cotton pants.

Jungkook lowered his gaze and fingers, finding the corner of the pillow to molest as he hid his face under the duvet. His body melted on the mattress when he felt the burning warmth of the woodfire all over his back. The mattress was placed with a distance from the furnace still the warmth toyed with his hair and back almost instantly.

When Jungkook peeked out after a few moments his gaze couldn't find the Alpha anywhere. The closet was closed now, all of his and Alpha's drenched clothes were absent as well. His eyelids were barely open when he looked around the room with an anxious thought building in his mind. Is he gone? The thought settled a large heaviness inside his stomach but when he removed the duvet and looked at the other side of the room, his heart thudded to see the Alpha kneeling at the end of the mattress.

His hair was now open, falling around the shoulders to hide his face from the golden hue of the fire but it was unnecessary how his body, covered in a black tank shirt, still looked calm in the shivering night. He looked busy with something but Jungkook couldn't see what because of the heavy blanket pushing his body down and his inability to raise his head. So he kept lying down till he saw the Alpha moving and taking something out of the furnace.

When he tilted his head and gained the vision of the Alpha's knees, he found an iron box placed beside him. But instead of opening it, the Alpha just collected its good inside a bowl and placed it back behind one of the burning wood.

Jungkook wanted to ask what the Alpha was doing but then the duvet across his legs lifted up to his knees and strong hands grabbed his feet before pulling and finding a place over the Alpha's folded legs.

“What…” His voice got muffled by a low gasp that he pushed out of his lips when he felt a warm hand trailing down on his feet. He felt the hand gliding on his skin effortlessly, leaving an odd warmth behind which can only be perceived by… hot oil. The spreading fragrance of sesame was the only bits of information his nostrils delivered before his mouth fell open around another gasp and eyes rolled back in comfort.

The Alpha was sitting at the end of the mattress, hands working on the Empress's feet. He dipped his fingers inside the bowl to let the skin absorb all the moisture before applying it over the frozen skin. The skin in between his palms has turned pale from the cold. His fingers moved down to the bridge of the feet and thumbs digging the heel, with a light pressure, when he heard another gasp from the Empress.

So concluding from the muffled sound of the omega, all of the pain was residing over the toes and heels. So he gathered another swipe of warm oil and spread it over the sole of the Empress's feet. He focussed on the right leg first, leaving the right one to rest over his lap. The thumbs kept pushing the moisture on the heel till he felt the omega jerked his legs backwards.

Jungkook tried to pull his leg back and hide it under the depth of the duvet but the tight grip around his calf ruined his efforts, “Stay still.” He would have to argue with the order of the Alpha to stop these emanating sighs altogether, “They will heal after some time. You don't have to-”

“The ligaments are too stiff to let the blood heal them. I would suggest you lay back and leave them to me.”

And just how could Jungkook do that? In what world he can gain his sanity while submitting his bare legs to the Alpha where the touch felt too right, too healing and too precious. He won't survive the embarrassing acts his body could pull off.

The thoughts swirled right above his head as he mewled when the warm fingers toyed with his mating ring. He stretched the blanket above his head, not trusting his mouth when it could fall apart at the slightest touch of Alpha who had just moved the ring to let his finger massage the toe.

His chest heaved a sigh when the slippery fingers under the calf pressed the ankles with the right amount of pressure. His toes were entirely curled towards the sole… oh only if he could fold them just to stay away from those fingers… Moon Goddess knows that he would do that. He would.

But the truth is that he can't. He can't fold his toes any further because those fingers were right there! Unfolding the toes one by one to add more pressure in between them. All of the Alpha's fingers entwined with the toes of the Empress and disaster came out of lips so naturally as the grip Jungkook held on the corner of the pillow slipped in order to wrap his palm around his lips. What was that sound?

Did he just moan?

Please no.

He bit his lips and prayed, prayed and prayed that the sound hadn't gone too far from the layers of this blanket. But he was wrong, the Alpha heard it when the short mewls converted in a sudden purr. But right now he needs to focus on… focus on… focus on… focus on the mess sprawled over his lap.

He picked up the iron box from the furnace and poured another batch of oil inside the bowl. The sesame oil was steaming so he let it cool for a bit and then scooped some to lather his fingers under the calf of the omega, thumb sliding across the upper bone while fingers digging inside the thick muscles.

Jungkook was sure that the expressions of his face would have been declared as the most sensuous ones if only someone could see it. It's a blessing that he could chew on his fingers rather than blurting out the embarrassing noises. He brought his other hand and coiled it around his waist because if the Alpha didn't stop his hands soon, his thighs would start trembling. His strong fist bunched up the cotton pants, slipping It's hemline much far than his knees for the Alpha to knead more skin.

Abort. Abort. Abort.

He felt his eyelids burning with too much pressure on his head, chest raising high at the lack of air to breathe. He might suffocate himself tonight but he won't let the duvet slip away down to his head. His lips parted, inhaling as loudly as he could from under his palm. His body thriving, thrashing here and there to find bits of fresh air but when he found none, the hand over his mouth dropped involuntarily. In the sudden reflex to get away from the suffocation, his hand pushed down the mattress to hoist his upper body before shifting in a sitting posture.

His body was panting while inhaling excessive air around him that he didn't notice the raking eyes all over his face. There is some drool that sealed past his slightly open lips, a string of saliva connecting them together. The towel covering his hairs slid over to his shoulders due to the hasty movement, covering half of his flushed face from one side.

The thumb dug deeper than necessary when Taehyung pulled the massage down to the omega's toes this time. And then he looked down, eyes casting momentarily before watching his hands kneading the plush skin in between his fingers. But his gaze again betrayed him when his eyes raised and watched those barely open lips trembling in need of air. And it was the moment when Jungkook was finally able to breathe and focussed his eyes only to notice the Alpha looking at him without any shame.

The sole of his left foot stabbed the mattress, dragging his feet to enclose his legs but their eyes kept staring at each other, caught in an enchanting trance of something. The golden hue of the furnace behind the Alpha was reflecting on his honey skin as if the stars came down to their pavilion just to make him see the man sitting in front of him. Too much shine but his eyes could only enlarge more and more to accept these reflections instead of closing up.

When Jungkook gained the air inside his lungs his ear noticed two things. One, after the treacherous tragedy, it's raining again. He noticed the grumbling clouds rolling and thundering in the sky similar to the butterflies that were playing under his skin. Two, Alpha's hand was moving towards his calf, surpassing the barrier of knees to caress the underside of his thigh. His legs quivered in anticipation and his eyes turned miserable when Taehyung's fingers grabbed the hemline and pulled it down to his knees.

The lightning flashed in the sky, informing about the storm that will hit the western land soon but for now, the sound broke their trance as both of them looked away from each other. After wiping the excessive oil off from his leg, the Royal Alpha pulled the hemline down to his ankles and moved to his left leg which was lying abandoned on his right thigh.

Jungkook brought his leg inside the blanket and hugged his folded knee before placing his chin on it, “ What happened to other omegas? Have they got cured by the healers?”

Taehyung ladled another batch of oil over his fingers and spread it over the bridge of the dry leg. Both of his thumb pressed the thumb toe deeper and then slipped down to the sole, “Healers have made separate chambers to heal the omegas, I haven't informed any loss yet so… we can say that they are able to secure the situation from turning more severe.”

Jungkook looked down in regret, “I wish I could have stopped everything. But the more I think about the night, It guilts me even more the way I stopped you. You were right when you said that I shouldn't have been indulging in your court decisions because you have never done that during my decisions but the fear of being unjust in front of folks reverted my mind. I am sorry.”

The Royal Alpha held the leg with a grip around its ankle while the other hand kneaded the toes one by one, “ You came from the government of Lunar where the Queen had suppressed innocents to empower her own selfish needs. The arbitrariness in courts must have repelled you from the idea of unitary governments where only one person decides everything. I understand that so there is no need to apologize for that. However,” His gaze flicked towards the Empress before his slippery fingers moved up to the knee, “If His Grace has something that he kept hidden from me, then I won't stop you from apologising.”

“Hidden?” Jungkook asked while tilting his head in confusion.

Taehyung placed the leg's heel above his thigh and poured more warm oil in the bowl to tend the calf now, “Something more important than Nami's sorrow and Kenji's foolishness, more important than the concern of folks, far more important than this autumn moon festival. Is there something?”

The question made Jungkook think very deeply. He had always been an open book towards the Royal Alpha, his talkative nature had never let him consume any kind of secrets inside. But the tone Alpha used held something inside, “Who is talking in the riddles now? What happened? Have I made a mistake?”

Taehyung just focussed on the skin that he was massaging slowly, “ If the person can't recall their mistake, I wonder if they should be considered flawed or not.”

The secrecy of the words unclasped Jungkook's hands and reached towards the grip of the Alpha. His hand toppled over the slippery finger, stopping the Alpha's notions for a moment, “Help me recall it. I need to know where I have lacked.”

“You lacked in protecting yourself, A thing that I cannot look past. You lacked in telling me about some insignificant omegas having the audacity to question the decision of the Empress.”

Jungkook pressed his lips together in realisation, face paled with the way he kept looking at the Alpha. He didn't perceive the importance of the act when it happened because there were bigger parts to focus upon. But it was the only thing that he skipped to tell the Alpha because he really didn't think to give any significance to that subject.

Jungkook pulled his legs back and forgot about the oil that lathered upon the mattress when he folded it and moved closer, hand still holding the slippery fingers of the Alpha, “I didn't think about- They were just expressing their opinions.”

Taehyung jerked his hand out of the omega's grip, “Wrong opinions.” He was about to look for the towel to wipe off his hands but Jungkook was quick to use his both hands and held the Alpha's hand, “During that time, It looked insignificant to me but I know I should have mentioned it in front of you. But-”

“But what?” Taehyung's eyes sharpened, “I could have accepted it if the reason was my ignorance or absence but I met you after the negotiations. I was with you, I heard you talking about every simple thing but you decided to keep such things hidden from me because?”

Jungkook's body moved even closer, resting his knees in between Alpha's legs. His eyes were desperate to explain, the shearing pain of his body long forgotten as he spoke, “ Hyungnim was there. I heard him confronting those omegas.” He exhaled defeatedly when Alpha interrupted him once again. He can't see sharpness in the same eyes that were holding softness for him just a few moments ago. He just needed a moment to explain and he would also apologise to the Royal Omega for using his name like this.

“And you tried to stop him as well. Why? If those omegas have the bravery to speak lowly about the Empress, then how low can they think about the ordinary folks? Have you thought about that?” Taehyung asked while again pulling his hand away from the omega's tight grip.

Jungkook shook his head frantically and placed his one hand over the Alpha's cheeks as he looked into his eyes, “I apologise. I should have confronted them myself, should have punished them for talking so passively, and should have recognised their character with their disrespectful mouths. Please forgive me.” His plea didn't go unnoticed by the Alpha whose angry eyes still haven't made the decision.

Jungkook felt the slippery hand tightening over his palm before the Alpha twisted his hand and pulled his chest against his own, “ Incorrect. You should have prioritized your honour against the dignity of other omega's opinions. Always. You are my mate, every mouth that raises a voice against you… should be sealed.”

He gasped around the Alpha's lips when the twisted arm applied a pressure on his back. They were breathing over each other's faces, one pair of eyes stoic while the other held the prayers of togetherness, “ Allow me then.” Taehyung heard the whisper but before he could understand the meaning, his lips got sealed with the trembling ones.

Jungkook pushed his knees on the mattress as he hovered over the Alpha's head. His hand skidded above the Alpha's cheekbones before slipping past the black hair. He shared the passing breath together, sucking the air just above each other's lips before they merged together in the depths of the abyss.

The grip over his twisted wrist loosened up as the Alpha's palm found a place to coil around the omega's waist instead. The heavy arm on his waist pushed Jungkook's hips down till he took a seat over the Alpha's lap. Their lips were still moving, the small whispers of apologises, swallowed down by the devouring mouth of the Alpha.

His stomach was burning once again but this time the ignited fire wanted something else to douse in the thirst of the Alpha, “Would you please accompany me to the court tomorrow?” Jungkook requested with his lips barely parted away from the Alpha.

“No.”

The omega nudged Alpha's chin with his nose but now that he looked in his eyes, he found the anger dissipating behind, leaving a mellowy gaze, “It may need more convincing.”  His body melted over the Alpha's lap, hands clutching the narrow strips of top when he felt a hand cupping his neck from behind. And Jungkook let his lips do the persuasion when he tilted his face to feel those plush lips against his own again and again.
