Third Person POV

Saturdays were always lame but today it wasn't as easy going. On any other weekend Taehyung would sleep in till late especially with his mother on his side but he could not. There were no nightmares with his mother besides him but he dreaded the moment that was going to come. He snuggled closer to his mother burying his face in her to fend off the sunlight. His slight moment woke Yumi up. She has been unable to sleep since Taehyung gave nervous vibes whole night that kept her up too. She had witnessed Taehyung and Jungkook's sweet moment together enough to know why he was distressed. But she did not push the subject. But she had to prepare him since his father would be here sooner than she wanted. And hence she sat up in her bed pulling Taehyung onto her lap. The younger kept his eyes shut tight.

"Tae I want to tell you something and I know it is hard for you" she started talking, rubbing small circles on Taehyung's back but Taehyung kept his eyes shut tight. She looked down at him and let out a sigh."I know you heard me and Jack talking yesterday. I know you are afraid but I will never let anything happen to you baby. No one will take you away from me. You are my brave boy. You said you will protect me right?" Taehyung nodded now staring down at his hands. Taehyung had opened his eyes hearing that his mother knew that he heard them. But he meant it when he said he will protect her. "I know you are strong and I want you to show it. You are precious to me no matter what people will say. There will be time when people will want to control you, break you but you have to stand strong. You can be vulnerable inside but showing it to others only give them power over you" she said as she held Taehyung tighter to her chest. She caressed his hair for few minutes knowing it calmed him down. She cupped Taehyung's face and moved it to face her, "Think of this as the moment when someone wants to break you. Promise me baby you won't" she said looking deep into his eyes. He might be small but the fact that he kept the fear of his father to himself and all those secrets only he knew which were more horrifying that even a full grown wizard could handle knowing hidden was evident how strong he was. And Yu Mi was gonna make her son warrior and a noble one. She pecked Taehyung on forhead.

"Mom" Taehyung said in small voice looking at his mother taking in her feature that he missed for months, "If I ll be strong do you promise me to stay for christmas?"he asked. The question took her off guard. She put kisses on his face making younger giggle and she surely loved the sound of his laughter.

"I promise baby"she said as she hugged him again, "My little wolf" ruffled his hairs a bit. She will surely stay for Christmas, it was the least she could do for her son.

Taehyung and Yumi spent few more minutes hugging each other until Taehyung's soft snores were heard. She laid him down and wrapped him up in blankets. After finishing her morning routine she headed to check on Hoseok. This was new for him too but being elder than Taehyung he told her to sleep with him. She was beyond thankful but she knew he needed her too. After watching his mother go through all of it and being locked up, treated poorly he never let anyone close to him. She was the only person besides his mother he held precious before she had to leave. But now that she had him she was gonna raise him like her own son. She headed up to Jimin's room as Hoseok took an immediate liking to him since younger's kindness seemed to bring smile back on his face. She opened door to the Jimin's bedroom, her mouth formed a small smile seeing Hoseok holding Jimin into a protective embrace.

He had been unable to sleep but the younger kept cuddling into him so he held him closer. Jimin was a small angel and he could not give him the cold stare he usually would. Jimin's small kind gestures reminded him of his old self and a familiar warmth. He lifted his gaze from Jimin's face to the door as it opened to reveal his aunt. Her face warmly smiling at him. He was grateful to her for everything she had done for him.

"Seems like you could not sleep as well" Yumi said as she took seat besides Jimin's sleeping figure, "But someone here is quite comfortable besides you" she ran a small hand through Jimin's black curls. He was indeed an angel.

"He kept cuddling into me, and kept calling Tae and Kookie throughout the night. He eventually mumbled something about someone called Yoongi hyung. He has a lot to say to all of us"Hoseok said as he fondly smiled at Jimin. "Thank you aunty for all you have done but I don't want you to put your son in further danger because of me" Hoseok said, he has been thinking about it whole night.

"You are my son too. Never forget that" Yumi said firmly. She ruffled Hoseok's hairs and smiled at him. "I will hide you for few days. You just have to stay in room upstairs. Just stay in for few days ok?" she asked. Hoseok knew why she had to do it and as much as he hated being locked away again he knew why it was important so he nodded. He hated seeing people fight his war. Afterall he was the crowned prince. He only nodded and she pecked him on his forehead."Sleep for a while Hobi! You don't have to feel alone anymore" Hoseok smiled at the old nickname.

"Thank you aunty" he meant it.

"Call me mom if you are comfortable" She said kissing him on forehead agiain and leaving a small peck on sleeping angel's cheek. Jimin has been a home to Taehyung and she felt gratitude towards him.She went downstairs to find Jackson cooking breakfast.

Jackson's POV

Kids were sleeping in since it was weekend but I would be stupid to think they could be at ease knowing what lied ahead for them. I was up early and decided to make breakfast as the sleepyheads will soon barge in being hungry. I didn't expect Yumi to be the one to plop on the dining table seat. She looks tired. Now that I see Tae is a lot like her. He puts up fight and loves adventures, he is always upto some mischief but then again he never hurts anyone. I guess I must have been staring too long as my pancake started burning and Yumi was looking at me. She walked over and with a wave of her wand the burning stopped. When she took the charge of cooking I was more than happy to let her. Doing it everyday, anyone can get bored. I got up at the sound of doorbell. I opened the door to Hyungsik hyung and little Jungkook, I shifted a bit to let them in and closed the door.

"Hey Jack!" Jungkook greeted me as usual and headed straight to Tae's room. Hyung went straight to kitchen and is already sitted now in front of a plate eating pancakes.

"Hey kid" he smiled at me and I huffed. He has been like that forever. How could a head alpha be so cool like him?

"Hey yourself hyung. Its funny you call me kid and look at your platter!" He had loaded his pancake with syrup like a kid. We ate in silence as Yumi served both of us. Its reminded me of old days.

Third Person POV

After the breakfast was done, Hyungsik discussed about the situation at hand with other twos. Kim Seojoon was not the only problem, but if he knew they were hiding Prince of Scathé the trouble it would cause would be beyond measure. So they decided to hide Hoseok for time being would be best and with scentblockers it would be hard to tell he lives here. Kim Seojoon had already left for Natyrë, Hyungsik informed them. It would take him 4 days by ground to reach here, since wolves avoided planes and other human luxuries as they loose control easily and it can cause trouble. So that meant he would be here on monday, that gave them 2 days to prepare. 

"Yumi, how are things at home?" Hyungsik asked.

"Mother and Father are still in captivity, but Brother has started killing all the rebels. We lost many of our faithful ones. He is ruthless" Yumi sighed. She even witnessed execution of some of her friends but she was not enough to take down the army, so they had started to take little steps, building an army of their own was one of it. "I asked some of my trusted ones to gather more allies, but even with that Young-hwa has his dragon rider's army and I have only few on our side" 

"The war is inevitable" Hyungsik sighed. "Jack,  I was thinking maybe I should leave someone to guard you or you should move to Pack quarters. What do u think?" Hyungsik asked Jackson.

"It will not be alright for Tae, you know how some wolf families are still hesitant about Wizards and they will certainly not accept an outsider" Jackson had thought about it too and that is why they were staying in staff quarters.

"But what about your safety?" Hyungsik asked again. Pressing onto the subject as he was worried about tgeir safety and staff quarters had no one to guard it.

"I CAN!" Jackson almost screamed. That thought has bothered him ever since he took Taehyung in. No matter how much he tried he had been unable to keep him entirely safe. He could not keep Tae hidden in Scathé and they had to move to Natyrë. And now this situation with Alpha Seojoon, he felt helpless. This reminded him of how his mate and child was murdered right infront of his eyes. He would never let anyone touch Tae. 

"I... I did not mean that you can not, I just thought it would be easier for you" Hyungsik said calmly, he could see the war behind Jackson's eyes so he decided not to press on it further. They discussed plans for a while longer before Alpha Hyungsik decided to pay his sleeping son a visit. Jackson went to clean the kitchen and Yumi wanted to look around the town so she left too.

Jimin was still cuddled into Hoseok when Alpha Hyungsik entered the room. But Hoseok was quick to grab his wand as he put a protective arm around Jimin and pointed his wand towards the Alpha. 

"Who are you?" Hoseok asked in authority like voice and Hyungsik was only amused at the young prince and how he was protective over his own son.

"Prince Hoseok of Scathé, if I am not wrong your highness" Hyungsik bowed to him, but Hoseok has nor loosed his grip on his wand neither loosed his grasp on Jimin. But the younger relentlessly cuddled further into him. 

"Its not the answer to my question. Who are you?" Hoseok growled. He is getting protective since no one except for people in the capital of his kingdom had seen him but even that was years ago, no one knows him now. No one knows how he looks, especially no wolf.

"My apologies, Your Highness. I am Park Hyungsik, the Head Alpha of Natyrë pack and father of that angel over there" Hyungsik bowed again. He is amused how protective this prince is over someone he met yesterday only. More so amused at how his son is cuddling even further into the elder every time Hoseok tighten his grip around him.

"How can I believe you? And what is so amusing to you mister?" Hoseok asked with a scowl on his face.

"Ask him" Hyungsik said pointing his gaze over to Jimin.

"Call Mr.Wang" Hoseok orders in demanding voice. As much as Hyungsik's wolf wanted to snap at the Young Prince, he kept his cool. He slowly exited the room.

As soon as Hyungsik exited the room, Hoseok got up from bed, held his wand tighter waiting for any trouble and put one of his protection charm, that he carried as he is the prince, around Jimin's neck gently trying not to awaken him. But the moment he clasped the charm around Jimin's neck, he opened his eyes. 

"Hyung?" Jimin called sleeply, and Hoseok could not help but smile at his cute sleepy voice. 

"Jimin-ah" They both looked at the alpha at the door with Jackson behind him. Jimin quickly got up and ran into his father's embrace as Hyungsik lifted him up and kissed his face multiple times. "I missed you kiddo" Hyungsik kissed his son on forehead.

"I miss you too Papa" Jimin huged his father.

"I am sorry for my rudeness, Mr. Park" Hoseok bowed apologetically to the alpha, who patted his shoulder while trying to balance his son in his hands. It is funny how Jimin refused to be put down. They all go down but Jimin is already asleep again on his father's shoulder. 

"He is lazy as ever" Hyungsik laughed at his son who is asleep but still clinging like a coala to him.

"I usually put him and Tae together, or they eventually creep into each others rooms" Jackson said.

"He has a habit of sleeping with something to cuddle. Maybe its because of he is Omega" Hyungsik said in a serious tone. And the two cousins were engulfed into a deep parental conversation much to Hoseok's amusement.

Jungkook's POV

I headed straight to Tae's roomas soon as I came here. I had to go home yesterday cause I can not miss on training. But I ran here the first thing in morning. But I ran into Mr.Park, the head alpha of this pack. He is nice. When I reached his room I could smell the distress coming from him. I know why it is so, so I went and hugged his sleeping figure. He is my friend and very good friend I can't let him go through it alone. But Tae did not rekax in my hold as he would. There was this aura around him that makes me agitated. Its powerful, so powerful that I wanted to cower, but I kept my hold on him and he relaxed a bit but this aura was strange. It was unlike Tae's aura, I could not identify it at all. So I decided to hold him until he could calm himself.
