[Grab your popcorn. The moment you were waiting for is here.]

Jungkook came back to the soft music playing in the background and the strong smell of steaming coffee. He slowly blinked his eyes open.

The last thing he remembered was his mate, claiming him again with a bite. His wolf purred at the reminder, extremely satiated and still a little dopey.

Claiming bites had sedative effects that were passed through the enzymes they generated in their bodies during the mating. It helped to numb the pain and relax the wolf that was receiving the bite. The effect was similar to that of a medicinal drug, however, more pleasant, like a tipsy buzz created by alcohol.

It would take a day or two before the effects faded away. It was a natural way for their bodies to suppress the pain of the bite while the mark healed and the freshly formed bond settled.

Jungkook could tell he was cleaned and dressed in fresh, warm clothes. His socked feet rested on a muscular thigh while his mate talked to someone over the phone. It appeared he was still working, looking like a sin with his unbuttoned shirt and that killer jawline.

"The contract terms are non-negotiable," Jimin said with finality. "Either you can sign it, accepting our terms, or we will find another buyer. The choice is yours."

Jungkook didn't hear what was said on the other line, but his mate's scent pulsed with anger.

"Park Group, eh? All the best, then. We are done here." He ended the call, slanting a glance at the omega. "You're awake, honey bun." He smiled. "Want something to drink first? I got water and fresh orange juice."

"Juice," Jungkook croaked, his throat still raw and voice hoarse. His cheeks stung at the reminder. However, his wolf couldn't care less. It was high and in heaven, still drunk on the alpha's pheromones.

Jimin carefully removed his feet from his lap and stood to walk to the mini-fridge in the corner. He looked exceptionally delectable today, with his white shirt straining over his lean muscles.

When he bent to rummage through the fridge's contents, Jungkook's breath hitched. Hands itched to squeeze the alpha's firm ass. That was one hell of an ass.

Jimin returned, one perfectly groomed arched at him as if he could read his thoughts. The omega had the decency to blush a little.

"You passed out for three hours and snored your lungs out until a minute ago. Now you're eying me as if I'm your next course meal. You're something else, honey bun." The alpha knelt in front of him by his head and lifted the cup and straw to his lips. "I had Hannah bring in a variety of assortments to feed you once you're awake. Feel better?"

Jungkook nodded, wincing when pain shot from the movement.

"Careful. The mark will be tender for a few days," Jimin warned.

Jungkook took a generous sip, cooling his parched throat first. "Your possessive ass marked me again," he said. "Now I have to walk around with not one but two bites. You're alpha savage for real."

"Yeah?" Jimin leaned closer. "Why do you look so pleased then?" He ran a finger over his cheek. "Bet your wolf would present right now if I told you I wanna claim again."

Shamefully, that sent a spark of arousal through his system. His wolf perked its ears eagerly, and Jungkook smacked it down before it started sending signals to the alpha.

"I see." Jimin chuckled. "You know there's no use hiding, right? Your emotions are even clearer to me now."

Jungkook pouted. "You really bit me."

Mating bites weren't easy to remove. In the modern world, it took a surgical procedure to remove the mark, followed by therapy to break the bond. However, in cases of the double claim, it was almost impossible because the bond was deeper, and the effects of it were several fold more intense than a typical mating bond.

Jimin had given him another claiming bite, which meant only one thing.

"I will mark you again if that's what it takes to keep you," the alpha growled. He took the omega's hand and brought it to his chest. "Because I won't survive another rejection, honey bun. My wolf wanted to ensure you or our pup can never leave me."

Jungkook melted. "I would never," he whispered. "My actions were unjustified and selfish. I was ignorant of your feelings and hurt you in a way I didn't even imagine. I'm sorry."

Jimin exhaled. "It's okay. Just... don't push me away, honey bun. Talk to me if you're upset with me. Tell me what's bothering you. You know I'll always listen."

"I know, but it's unfair you have only one mark on your neck, though," he complained.

Jimin chuckled. "You can mark me all you want, but do it after Ming is here." One of his hands slid under his t-shirt to caress the baby bump. "Should I remind you of the night you marked me?"

Jungkook grimaced. "Well, we made Ming that night, I suppose."

He also very well remembered how insatiable Jimin had been and how he looked the next day as if he was mauled by a wild animal. He could barely move an inch without support, and that was something he couldn't handle right now.

"I can help you make more." Jimin winked.

Jungkook stared at the alpha a moment longer. "You're an amazing mate." He cupped the alpha's face with one hand. "Yoonie hyungie said my mood swings will only get worse. So I apologize in advance for anything unpleasant I might say or do. I'll try my best not to, but... you will tell me if I overstep. You'll let me make it up to you, right?"

Jimin leaned into his touch. "Always."

Jungkook has always heard of his college friends talking about the walk of shame after a wild party weekend, but never experienced it. He never had any sexual experiences he could brag about since he was already in a relationship.

Even if he was single, Jungkook didn't think his romantic ass wolf would have allowed a stranger to knot him and make him submit in a meaningless situation.

As he walked down the aisle, he was acutely aware of the attention he received. He couldn't exactly call this a walk of shame because they were mated, but the knowledge that everyone knew what they were up to behind the closed office door left him a flustered mess.

All eyes were on him, every nose lifted in the air and nostrils flaring as they took in his scent. The only scent that was wafting through the scent neutralized corridors. Even the scent diffusers couldn't diffuse the alpha's pheromones rubbed deeply into his skin.

The ones closer to him would learn two things today. One: Jimin fucked him in the office and marked him in a most territorial way. Two: He was with a pup.

Not that any of it bothered him. It was what he wanted anyway. Yet none of them knew of his relationship with Jimin until today. He heard the surprised gasps and urgent murmurs. He registered their wide eyes and puzzled faces as they tried so hard to connect the dots.

With the VIP elevator out of order, he had no choice but to take the common elevators at the other end of the aisle. Jimin had gotten a call and told him to go ahead and wait for him at the elevator. Now he felt that it was purposeful.

Jimin wanted everyone to know, and he succeeded. He smiled to himself, a hand rising to cradle his lower belly fondly. The elevators were crowded with everyone logging out for the day.

What a perfect environment to create gossip! If they used their brain cells effectively, they'd know who Jimin was to him.

"Head Omega Jeon, what a pleasant surprise!" Someone chirped, and Jungkook lifted his head to see five of the board of directors stepping out of the nearest conference room.

"Hello," he greeted with a professional smile.

Jungkook knew his eyes must be entirely blue as his wolf was in control. It would stay that way for the next couple of days until the new bite mark healed. He saw the way their expressions changed, and their nostrils flared. A smirk replaced his smile, and he averted his gaze.

He continued walking, stopping in front of the elevator where a crowd had assembled to ride the elevator. All heads turned toward him at once. Jungkook ignored their gazes despite his racing heart and flaming cheeks.

The board of directors also came to a halt. One elevator arrived. It was almost full, leaving space only for two or three.

Jungkook gestured to them to get inside and decided to wait for Jimin. Three people entered, disappearing behind the closed doors with a confused frown. He definitely cannot ride the elevator with so many wolves. Not without risking a wave of nausea. His stomach already felt a bit squeamish with so many wolves around despite their muted scents.

Also, there was a tense silence in the atmosphere. Jungkook could feel it crackle, and it might explode if he snapped his fingers.

He didn't realize his shoulders were tense until he heard the familiar voice of his mate talking over the phone. The omega glanced over his shoulder to see Jimin walking down the aisle with a phone pressed to his ear.

He was still clad in his shirt and trousers, jacket in his free hand, and shoulder bag worn criss cross. The alpha smiled when their gazes met. He ended the call, focusing all his attention on the omega.

"Are you feeling alright now?" he asked as soon as he was near.

"Yeah."

Jimin cupped the side of his face with his free hand. "Nausea?"

"I'm okay." Jungkook felt the immense relief wash over him now that Jimin was here. He inhaled the alpha's hot cocoa and coffee scent, relaxing further.

Jimin's thumb caressed his cheek. "Come here," he whispered and then he was kissing him. Not a chaste kiss by any means. This was deep, involved tongue and very wet. More like a public claim.

Jungkook froze for a moment but melted in the next instant. If anyone else had doubts until now, this kiss was their answer. Jimin was silent but his actions were loud and clear for everyone. Jungkook belonged to him and he was the father of his pup.

Jimin pulled back once he was satisfied. "I asked June to pick our pup from school and leave him at your dad's place." He checked the time on his watch. "He should be back from Busan an hour ago."

Jungkook nodded, wordlessly taking Jimin's jacket from him as the alpha scrolled through his phone. In his peripheral vision, Jungkook saw the board of directors gasp, their expressions almost comical.

Just then another elevator arrived. This too was full, however, the employees inside were startled when they spotted Jimin and Jungkook. They immediately stepped outside, bowing at them and giving them space to get inside.

Jimin put a hand on his lower back, ushering him inside. When no one tried to get inside, he asked, "Not coming in?"

A few shook their heads, too bewildered to speak.

"Mr. Choi? Mr. Son? There's enough space in here," Jimin offered.

"Ah, it's okay." Mr. Choi waved a hand. "We just remembered we had something to do before leaving."

"Alright then." Jimin shrugged and was about to close the door when they heard another voice.

"Wait!" Jungkook glanced up and saw Hannah running toward them. "Alpha J, you forgot this." She panted, lifting the lunch bag Jungkook brought earlier.

Jimin smiled. "Thanks, Hannah."

She stepped back. "Have a great evening, sir."

"You too."

Jungkook waved at her as the elevator doors closed. He fought the tiny smile that tugged at his lips so he wouldn't look too smug. His wolf was already parading in his mind with his chest puffed and tail swishing.

On the next floor when the elevator stopped, the two managers entered hurriedly, looking relieved to get an almost empty elevator. Another six more entered, but all of them froze when they noticed who else shared the elevator with them.

In the small confined space, their combined pheromones were even stronger, almost gagging the other wolves. More than the intimidating scent, it was the shock in their faces when they realized who it was that rendered them immobile.

Jungkook scrunched his nose, leaning closer to his alpha and inhaling his scent.

"Are you hungry, honey bun?" Jimin asked casually.

"A little." Earlier he only ate a bowl of freshly cut fruits because he wasn't feeling like he could stomach anything else. Now he was feeling a little bit hungry.

"What do you want to eat?" Jimin asked, massaging his back gently as if there weren't other people inside the elevator with them.

Jungkook leaned into his embrace. "Anything you cook is fine."

Everyone rushed outside as soon as the elevator hit the ground floor, walking with hurried steps, and the others refused to get inside when they saw them. Jungkook's smile only widened when they finally reached the basement parking lot.

Now that's how it is done, his wolf preened.

Of course, it would enjoy the show. Didn't it entertain a thought of letting Jimin chase and mate him once? Unfortunately, it fantasized too much, and Jungkook didn't want to entertain his wolf much longer.

So he shoved the furry, horny mess of a wolf aside forcefully and pulled his phone to browse through the hundreds of food images he had. It certainly worked like a miracle because now his wolf was seated, drooling at the mouth watering pictures and already wondering what they could eat for dinner.

A/N: I got roped into a new project. So I'm expecting to be busy in the coming week. Updates might be delayed on Twitter and here. I can't say anything for sure now. So don't panic if you don't see an update. I'll be back when I get some relaxing time.

Also I want to focus on streaming "Take Two" and Festa stuff. So this week will definitely be slow. Don't forget. We are treating "Take Two" like any other comeback. Enjoy, but at the same time stream and show our love to the boys while we are waiting for their return.

 LILITH is explosive. OOOH!
