Taehyung’s P.O.V.

“…stay?”

His soft plea was disguised as a way of seeking permission to keep me close and I wanted to laugh. I don’t understand why he tries so hard to deny me as well as deny his instincts.

He squirms in my arms as I peck at my mark on his neck, I can sense his omega calling at me…I can sense how anxious it had been to stay without it’s alpha when it desperately needed me and a part of me is actually still very angry with Jin’s arrogant and stubborn antics. I can tell he has been torturing himself the last few days, the signs of his stupid anger against me showing in how frail he looked. It is awfully annoying at times…especially when he decides to be obstinately stupid.

He chose his pride over the health of the pup…I really cannot comprehend why his omega even allows him to be this reckless. But what troubles me more is the thought that he is probably doing this with the intention to hurt the pup…and if this is truly the reason then I’ll have to ensure to keep him under submission so that his omega can do what it is supposed to, it will instinctively nurture and protect the pup.

I will not allow his reckless arrogance to hurt my child. My trueblood is already furious with Jin, ready to dominate and punish him for how he has been behaving the last few days, daring to keep me away from himself…more importantly, it is terribly annoyed with the disrespect the omega has been showing me.

I walk towards the bed as Jin clings onto me, he is silent and simply breathes as I feel him finally relaxing against me.

“Is your anger and hatred for me so important that you’d even intentionally hurt my child Jin?”

He stays quiet, choosing to push his face into my chest and I knew he was only trying to hide the truth. He too knows what he was doing was hurting both him and the pup…but what he never takes into thought is that I too hurt…being my mate he should be mindful of this but he chooses not to.

I lay him down, my gaze fixing on his face as I wait for him to respond but he intentionally denies to look at me. I wish I could know what he is thinking, he is so difficult to understand most of the time.

My hand involuntarily moves to set against his cheek, he looks so pale and cold that I wish to share my warmth with him. He grows even quieter as I run the back of my hand on his jaw “my trueblood is very upset with you…you can sense it, can you not?”

He denies to answer me yet again, probably because he too knows his faults.

I watch a hum slip his mouth, eyes closing as he pushes his face into my touch and nuzzles my hand seeking to be petted and caressed more. My scent is most likely to urge to his omega, his instincts kicking in. The action is so utterly cute that I have to force myself not to smile at his antics and will myself to not do what he seeks…he’s been getting very comfortable with having his way all the time…

He utters a complaining whine when he doesn’t get what he wants and continues rubbing his face to my touch, his palm cupping the back of mine as he ensures I can’t pull away. This isn’t anything unnatural but it sure is unnatural for him…he never urges me so openly for care and affection. I’ve seen omegas grovel and beg for an alpha’s touch if they have missed them.

“I’d cater to all your needs darling…” my hand grazes down the side of his neck, I see the struggle Jin was going through to choose whether to give in to his need or keep his clutch on his arrogance and so I decided to help him out a bit.

I lean down to press my mouth to the side of his neck, the kiss gentle but asserting my dominance as I give in to the allure his omega has been trying to trap me in. A tiny whimper slips out of his lips before his eyes flutter open, blood finally rushing up to adorn his pale cheeks with a rosy shade.

“But you keep confusing me” the words hit against his skin and I can see him moving his head to a side, baring his throat to me as he gives in to his instincts. He releases his scent without control, making my trueblood bristle in desire for him…to establish my claim on my omega…to show him how wrong he was for daring to keep me away from himself…

My eyes take in the sight of my audacious omega lying in bed shorn off his anger and pride and demanding my attention. His pretty robe a frail cover to my ravishing gaze. I wonder if his need to suppress his instincts is the reason his omega is so submissive to me, it’s rare for him to give in to me but when he does, I can barely hold myself back. But I can tell something is going on in his mind, specks of blue flickering in his irises as the sweet jasmine scent grows stronger.

“You said you’re angry” I inquire to see his eyes lower away.

“I was” “Not anymore?” I tease with a smirk and see him silently roll his eyes at my words “was it because of the soup?”

“Maybe…” his voice sounds small but sincere and I couldn’t hold back the chuckle to see him try so hard to be mean to me still.

“So, now I need to cook for you to let me stay in my own chamber?”

I press a hand by the other side of his head as I taunt and see his eyes settle on it as he waits in anticipation while his breathing grows heavier.

“Y-Yes…”

“Aren't you testing my patience a bit too much love?” I peck at the side of his face and see him bite into his lip.

He doesn’t resist when I tug at the knot keeping his silken robes in place, it detangles in the next moment and I catch the layers of white silk he was wearing underneath. His chest moves in deep dips, and I run my fingers over the shimmery fabric as I took in the view of how pretty he looks, blushing and needing my touch while I unwrap him, taking my time before I gently bare his chest and shoulders.

There is definitely an unparalleled charm in him…I have felt it even before we were mated…it’s like a divine allure that pulls me to his call, he might be bound to my command but I know I have no way to deny the power he has over me…it’s something absolutely enchanting…  

I lean down to press my mouth on the mark and he shudders, a hand clutching at my arm in reflex when my teeth nips at his skin and his nails dig into my sleeve. He moans when I trace it with my tongue, and his restraints cave in at that moment as his arms slip around me and he pulls me closer, sighing against me as he burrows into my neck.

My hands slip around him as well and I pull him into my lap in one swift move.

He whines denying to let me get away and clings onto me, the layers of silk hanging down his bare shoulders and pooling about his hips as he pushes his body up against mine.

My pretty needy mate…

They were right to hide him far away from common eyes…his beauty is not meant for beasts like us to indulge in…but I’m glad to be held guilty if it means I get to hold him to me the way I want to…

My palms trace on his back and I try to be gentle with my touches…attending to my mates’ needs is not a first but attending to my pregnant mates’ angry whims, mood swings and sexual needs is definitely a first for me.

I feel his tongue tickle against my scent gland, scenting me greedily before he tries to clamp his little canines on my neck to mark me.

“Omega…don’t make me show you your place…trying to dominate over me will not work darling” I sense my trueblood hiss at the feeling of Jin’s canines drawing blood “behave!”

He trembles as I growl and my hand instinctively goes to grab a fistful of Jin’s hair to pull him back as I glare at him for being so audacious but my anger falters when he gazes back at me with hooded blue eyes, a bizarre dazzle of white swirling in them.

“Let me draw from you…” his voice is calm but decided as he sets his palms on either side of my neck “my body is tired”.

I calm down at the words, my fingers unclasping from his soft tresses to set on his nape as I pull him close gain and feel his hands crawling up my neck to cup my face. He straightens on my lap, face hovering over mine as I feel him taking from me. The air grows quiet around us, the cold long forgotten as fire courses in our veins and I feel aroused even by his gentle touch.

He doesn’t speak as he lowers his head slowly while his gaze flickers to mine constantly as if to check my reaction before he dares to take the chance and dips his head to press his mouth on mine. 

The moment I feel the moist softness of his lips against mine, hunger boils within me for more and a possessive growl rumbles in my chest. 

I unclasp the layers that covered his legs, my hands running on plain instinct over his soft thighs and I groan into his mouth, my mind pooling with the need to see him while I try to suffice my greed with running my hands all over him. I peel off everything off of him, leaving only a sheer layer of silk hanging loosely from his arms to weakly cover his back.

He stops drawing energy from me and breaks the kiss, eyes falling to his flat belly as he cups a hand over it and I try to understand yet again what it is that he is thinking. 

“He needed it” he smiles to himself unbothered about how I was blinking to understand him as my gaze falls to where his hand stayed.

“He?” I asked completely startled. That’s odd…it’s impossible even for me to detect the gender of the pup this early on, I frown up at him.

“I have a feeling it’s a he” he smiles at me and leans in to kiss me again, I feel his hands trying to push away the shirt on me. His omega is behaving a little out of character tonight, he isn’t this bold in demanding what he wants in bed rather he is usually quite submissive in bed…not like I’m complaining, the view is breath-taking...his thighs spread around me, his hardened shaft pressing against my stomach and look of need in his eyes is just so rewarding. My arms sling about his hips as I hold him on my lap and my clothed erection brushes against his bare privates, he groans chewing on my lip.

The little instigation seemed to have turned his neediness higher as he broke the kiss and ducked to pepper kisses down my jaw and neck.

“Mhnn alpha…” he mumbles nibbling at my neck again and a low growl builds at the back of my throat, warning him not to try to dominate over me. He dips his mouth to my chest taking the warning, moving back to crawl out of my lap as he stays on his knees before me. His head pressed against my chest as I feel him lick my skin, his nimble hands crawled down to set on my thighs.

“I…your scent feels…so good alpha…” his voice is small and utterly breathy, I find a warm fuzzy feeling pooling in my chest as I see him covering himself in my scent as his nose nudges at my chest. I caress his head unmindfully as I watch his soft hair weave through my fingers and a need to groom him takes over me.

“Lie down baby…let alpha take care of you…” I lean into him, my body towering over his as he blinks and follows my words, being clumsy on his knees he looses balance and drops onto his back.

“You’re such a good little kitten when you’re not trying to be difficult” I kiss his face and he purrs on instinct at the praise, eyes widening as he realises what he had done as he pulls his lower lip in between his teeth.

“You like me praising you don’t you?”
He blinks away but heat burns his cheeks to red and I chuckle at how oddly cute he looks and how flustered he is.

“Why are you so scared to have me know that I make you feel good?” I ask kissing his neck, sucking on his throat and lapping at his buttery skin, intending to give him all the attention and care he seeks from me as I groom him.

My calloused hand massaging his privates before wrapping around his length and he moans out loud, his body arching up from the bed as his legs tense around me. He purrs burning more red but I see his hips jerk against the mattress while he tries to not show. His member would say otherwise though, hard and dripping precum while he possessively bathes me in his scent, showing his claim on me.

I run my mouth lower, leaving a trail of kisses down his chest to peck at his belly and suck a mark there. His bare thighs curl about me as my mouth trails lower and he shudders on the bed.

“Take me…” he moans unashamed when I run my fingers over his hole, rubbing his slick over it while I watch him try to meet up every flick of my wrist as I pump his member.

“Turn around” I speak removing my hand from him and he instantly follows my instruction in eager need, sweat glistening on his pale skin as he gets on his hands and pushes his ass up, his ears steaming red as he glances back to see.

“So obedient eh…?” I tease palming his balls and hear him whimper when I press my thumb on his fluttering hole, slick oozing out and trickling down the inside of his thighs.

Fuck this is so damn satisfying to watch…

He is uncontrolled in releasing his scent tonight, it’s like his omega is trying to rouse my trueblood out and that is not a good idea, I don’t know what he is thinking…or probably he’s completely out of it and not thinking at all.

Since my rut, my wolf has been greedy to be let out to have his way with its mate…I can sense the anxiety it feels to ensure the omega stays under its submission and allows its alpha to protect for what belongs to him…and Jin taking that potion without my permission hasn’t sat right with him, to add to it was the disrespect it had been shown and my wolf doesn’t take such things lightly…and right now it is very keen to punish Jin for the numerous offences.

I lean down to kiss his shoulders as I press my thumb into him, my digit pushing through the ring of tight muscles before I feel his tight walls squeezing onto it desperately. He throws his head back against me and pleads when I begin twisting and turning it inside him.

“Needy?”

He whines and pushes back onto my digit, and I tease pulling it out and he peers over his shoulder, pleading to me with his eyes as I realise he’s trying to touch himself and he has to know that I do not approve of it.

I coil an arm around him, pulling him to myself as his back flushes against my front and I grab at his member.

“You’re almost as greedy as when you’re in heat” he moans right by my ear as I slip two fingers into him again. I’m a little hesitant about sex right now, he has a way of tempting the beast in me and I’m not sure if it’s the best idea when I can sense how eager my trueblood is for one slip on my part.

He moves his head to mouth at my neck, sucking on my skin as I feel his member throbbing in my grip as I pump him both ways.

“Feels go-od…mhmm” he whimpers the words against my ear as I curl my fingers inside him, nudging at the bundle of sensitive nerves inside him before his body grows taut and shudders rake through him when I press my thumb over his slit and he cries out, spurting threads of white onto the bed.

“So restless hmm? Came with just a little touch…” I taunt licking at the shell of his ear as I pull my fingers out. He whines and shudders before slumping back onto me, tired and satiated.

His head lolls to a side as he sets his nose against my neck and softly nudges “Imm sp-leepy” he mumbles in cute and I cannot stop the chuckle as I wrap my arms around his naked frame and he instantly curls into my arms, sighing and humming into my chest as he falls asleep feeling safe and content.

It takes me a few more days to get Jin to grasp at the idea that he was not going to be a part of the upcoming war, neither was he allowed to go anywhere near the camps.

When the matter was finally settled, I let him out of the chambers…free to roam about in the castle but yeah still with terms and conditions applied…yes, I had to take many precautions because my omega seems to think he is a god of his own demands, and his pregnancy had made things even worse.

I can tell he’s totally using it to take advantage of me and enjoying testing my patience from morning to night.

“Can I stay if I’m quiet?” “No, you’re never quiet…go play with your kitchen pals…I got work to do” I warn as he peers over my shoulder to check on the plans I had laid down on the desk in my study.

“How did you acquire such an intricate map of Zyon? Do you have spies?” He gasps conceited, hand clutching at my shoulder now as he leans to check more closely “that’s the map of the palace!? How did you even get this? Is this even legal?”

“You’re worried about justice? How much of war is even justified? Besides, they are the enemy…the more I know, the better chances my people have” I taunt, my gaze still set on the map as I check through the changes King Do-Hwan seems to have made over time to baffle their enemies.

“They have trap gates? What are trap gates?” He sounds very curious as I feel his warmth against me, having him close has its advantages too…it completely flushes out my stress and work doesn’t feel as torturous.

“They’re like trap doors…every kingdom has these, usually these are used to help people get to safety in case we’re outnumbered” I inform “however my father used them for a whole different agenda”
“What agenda?” Jin leans his weight onto me and I realise his feet probably hurt due to standing so long.

“He used those trap doors to startle the enemy…positioned mercenaries behind those doors for surprise attacks on them” I share the actually classified information with him as I pull him onto my lap and he settles easily, his eyes keener as he checked the map.

“That’s very smart though after all I have heard, I don’t really think I’d like your father”

The laugh that leaves my mouth is honest…this is another thing I admire about Jin…always himself, no grey areas in his head…he doesn’t even try to sugarcoat anything and always speaks what he thinks.

“Well, neither did many people” I affirm, my hand set over his belly and a sense of satisfaction fills me to have him in my embrace “not like my father bother to be liked…he only wanted one thing…power, it’s all he ever worked and dreamed about…he wanted to become the greatest king…wanted to make Kleon invincible…immortal in its glory…it was his only dream.”

“My father believed that people are power…his kingdom was his strength and his weakness…” he speaks informing the little knowledge he had about the parent figure who had discarded him. 

“I’d say that is way more noble a thought…although he too had his share of mistakes” I spoke stating the truth and felt Jin go silent against me.

“He used to say his worst mistake was mating mother”

There is an odd heaviness as he says the words and I realize he’s never really talked about his mother much.

“Why?” My hand rubs at his side as I feel the distress growing within him.

“Because he learned later that she was a sorcerer”

I still at the words, that was not something I was expecting to hear. Sorcerers are not really accepted in Kleon…trapped, branded and burned rather if I’m being honest. It has it’s own reasons though, they could commit havoc with their dark magic and created alarming nuisances for the people in general.

“So…they killed her because of that” I speak thinking out loud but he stays quiet.

“I don’t remember actually…might be that…or maybe because of me…they curse at her still because of me…”

I pull him back to make him look at me but he holds his gaze down, trying to hide the water gathered in his eyes “don’t cry…it was not something you could change anyway…you were born the way you were supposed to be, being who you are cannot be a fault darling…would you be angry with our pup if he’s born an alpha or an omega?”

He hastily replies shaking his head “I’d never…” he looks up at me “I’m not ashamed of myself, neither would I let our pup ever feel that way”

“Good” I peck at his cheek, thumbing the tear drop away when he speaks again.

“But I can’t help myself but think that I was the reason why father broke off his bond with her”

I will not lie, I did have a feeling about this…his father had survived even after the death of his mate, so it was natural that they had broken off their bonds but what I had not imagined was that it could be because she had given birth to a male omega.

I had nothing to say to it, I don’t know much about Eulan’s system of rule or prejudices…however, I do know the filth that the royal blood actually holds.

I let him lean on me and he calmed down after a while, forgetting the pain as I tried to distract him by letting him know about more classified battle secrets that I had learnt over the years as a Commander of an army.

He is slowly beginning to open up to me, I can sense how his omega constantly keeps seeking for me, even Jin himself…it’s almost as if he’s scared to be alone. Mother says it’s probably because he has no idea about how to cater to himself or the pup on his own, it’s understandable from the way he had grown up. I am trying to be there as much as I can but it isn’t easy for me, not with entire Kleon under the threat of war.

And although I was wishing that Jin would get more comfortable as the days passed…it turned out to be the exact opposite.

Especially once his morning sickness began…it became hell.

“Why are you crying? Are you in pain?” I rub his back as he washes his face, looking frustrated as he denies to reply and leans against the sink trying to catch his breath after his third bout of aggressive retching has passed.

“I don’t like this” he mumbles “is it really supposed to feel like this? This doesn’t feel rewarding at all…” his head hangs low as if tired as he speaks under his breath referring to mother’s words about how having a pup feels rewarding to omegas. 
 
“This will pass…it’s only for a-” “Yeah…only a few days…hold on a little…it’s normal…heard all of it” he mutters, pushing my hand away as he stomps out of the washroom.

The mood swings are real…trust me on that…it was only yesterday when he wouldn’t let go of me and fought with me because I had to leave for the camps and demanded to be caressed and made love to when I got back, and only slept after I gave in to him and let him scent mark me.
 
This has become a normal phenomenon these days.

“I agree it’s not easy” I sigh, walking closer as I scoop him up in my arms and he settles easily against me, calming down as if in instant reaction. I know no other way to calm him down other than this…he seems needy for attention all the time.

“But you need to try and stop being like this Jin…getting upset with everything is only going to get your mood worse…try and cheer up-” “Can I come along? I don’t like staying here all the time…it’s been weeks! I don’t think there’s really a war…your brother was probably trying to mess with you again” he grumbles into my chest before I place him on the bed.

“As much as I’d like that…but no, he was not messing with me Jin…we’ve to be prepared for the attack” he rolls his eyes like the brat he is while unmindfully clutching at my pillow as he pulled it to his chest.

“I cannot take you to the palace with me Jin” I pet his head and his eyes close as he emits a soft purr, pushing into my touch so I lean in and place a kiss on the mark on his neck “I don’t want them anywhere near you…or even knowing that you’re with child.”

“They cannot do anything to the pup…he’s strong…very strong” he speaks eyes glancing at his own belly before he leans on me again “I-my omega seems overprotective of him…wouldn’t let me in much” his voice is soft against my ear “but I can sense him…he’s gonna be a really strong pup.”

He sounds rather fond, although his usual annoyed fits would make anyone think otherwise.

I smile down at him, kissing his head “he sure will be…I don’t expect anything less from our pup.”

I have been letting Jin draw from me whenever he needed, he keeps saying that the pup needs it. I guess the whole pregnancy thing is too exhausting to my little omega.

“Let’s go…time for breakfast” “I wanna have a shower” he stretches and instead of getting up chooses to plop down on the bed.

“Okay do that…I need to inform Yushik to prepare my horse…then we’ll have breakfast”

“I don’t feel like eating…even the thought of food is nauseating to me right now” he fake gags and turns away from the glare I give him.

“Stop being a brat Jin…we’ve been through this already” actually we have to go through this every day…mornings he won’t eat and evenings he would crave for everything and complain about an aching stomach and cry through the night till I distract him enough to get him to sleep.

My mate is beyond my understanding...I feel like I am already tending to pup!

He discards replying as he gets up and heads to the shower as I sigh realising this was going to continue for quite a while…I need to be patient…which I am awfully bad at.

By the time I arrive at the palace the lords are already in a fit of aggression as loud discussion on the war rumbles through the courtroom. My eyes meet Jungkook’s calm gaze but I could see the poison building behind them the moment he traces me.

“The North Gate is fortified” I assert before clearing up the other preparations already in place “we need the provisions to move the people away from the borders as soon as possible…for now I told the troops to set up temporary living quarters around the camps but we need to move them to a more secure destination.”

“The first thing we need to secure is that your omega is kept away from the war this time…we cannot afford such massacre like last time.”

“Yes! He needs to be locked away in the dungeons for even daring to do what he has done!”

“And to top that he has the audacity to speak about changing our rules! Talking about letting women join the troops!! Are we going to allow him to do whatever he pleases?!!”

“You are no one to allow or bar him from doing anything” my voice is a snarl as I try to hold my trueblood back but the rage within keeps growing nonetheless.

“Then act like an alpha and keep your omega under control Commander!”

“I agree with that”

My attention is drawn when Jungkook speaks up and I turn to glare at him.

“I say as your King and protector, I need to supervise that your omega and the other’s in your home does not face any threats either” he smirks at me and I frown trying to catch his intention “North Gate is under direct threat…not somewhere you’d like your pregnant mate to be would you brother?”

My eyes fix on him as my teeth grits to realize he still got spies looming around my home.

A hush falls on the court as they weigh the possibilities of my omega giving birth to the first royal heir of Kleon…this sure will draw a lot of attention, which for me and Jin is not good news.

“I can protect what is mine…fear for yourself” I bite out the words, hating the fact that he was actually waiting for this…he had known it but waited to reveal it to the lords in my presence to let me know that now everyone would be aware of it…putting my mate and my child in greater risk.

He laughs but it sounds dry and disturbed, I’m sure out of everyone here the news must have agitated him the most. If things had gone his way, it’d be his mate giving him an heir and then the entire kingdom would rejoice for his sake.

“I was only trying to be thoughtful…you’ll be at war, and your omega would be alone without care...” he rises from the throne, taking slow steps as he approaches me while my hands shake as I tighten my fists, a growl building at the back of my throat “he’d feel more comfortable in my harem among the other omegas…be safer too” he stops beside me, standing shoulder to shoulder “wars are ugly times brother…and you know how Zyon treats omegas…I’d not want something bad to happen to your mate in your absence.”

“My mate knows how to protect himself-” “Ah true…how could I ever forget that?” He grins nodding “that omega is truly one of a kind…” he moves past me to address the lords now “oh…I almost forgot”

I turn to him with a frown to hear what else he had to say.

“I pass on my good wishes to your heir…may he thrive in good health.”
