At her words ,a rumor spread amongst the crowd splitting it in two to give way to hs aunt, Hawon.

So this is what she was plotting. Jimin thought.

"Aunt" he exclaimed falsely cheerful. The truth was that he's fuming, making great effort not to let it show through on his face. "What a surprise to see you." He lied. He let his brows knitted together as he made a few steps forward.

She ignored him, whirling around to embrass the others with a sadden look.

"For centuries, we have been respected and feared. Our strength was our firm grip on what we value the most." she marked a break, galvanised by the attention "Ours traditions without them we're no different than the others but we'll throw it all out the window if we let that omega succeed." Pointing angrily an accusatory finger at him.

The omega said nothing, he clenched his fist and waited she finished.

"If we let him do as he please he'll ruin us and everything ours ancestors fought for. My brother was weak he went against the clan's best interests to keep his promise made on the deathbed of his daughter. His grief had taken precedence over his reason and his duty toward us." a whisper of approval followed her rant. The clan were starting to lean more toward her.

She grinned, full of herself.

"Kibum's the strongest alpha. He'd be a much choice than a wicked minded omega." applause broke out. She turned back to shoot him a please look.

He laughed, clapping too.

"Nice little speech but I fail to see what you're trying to accomplish, my aunt. This is not a campaign and they're not weak mind sheep that can help your grandson rise to power." His smile vanished and he glared up at the entire attendance. "Only a leader can choose his successor."

"according to ours laws, one can challenge the leader."

His gaze veered to Kibum, an evil grin twistin' his face.

"Is this what you're doing?" The alpha puffed out his chest. Kibum was sleazy and ugly but he wasn't stupid.

"Yes."

Forget it. They're the same.

A gasp of shock followed by a intense silence.

The omega shook his head.

"Fine, so be  it." He accepted, seemingly bored "A death fight then."

The family drama was less shocking for Min yoongi than the apparent confidence the omega showed. he's impassible even as the others thouroughly insulted and belitted him in front of the other clan members. He showed an incredible phlegm but he suspected that it's all a careful mask of deception, he could sense it which confirmed his suspicions regarding him. Park jimin was definitely not like the others.

His thoughts were cut short by his younger brother complaining beside him. Jungkook was still infuriatingly inexperienced for a 17 year old alpha. His older brother kept on pampering him even though he'd several times adviced him not to.

"He can't do this, he is going to get hurt." He

"He can't do this." He let out and the short alpha rolled his eyes. He doubted there's something capable of hurting the omega but jungkook's grip on his forearm was tightening and he glanced up to see that he's really afraid. He glanced down at his arm and swallowed back a hiss of pain. It'd bruise . he twisted it away from his young brother's fingers, stroking it.

"Calm down, he is not a kid. He knows what he is doing." He said, patiently.

Jungkook looked unconvinced.

"Plus we are just guests. We cant get involved." He hoped he would get it and let it go.

Things will take a serious turn and he would rather not have to worry about him now.

Kibum, his aunt and the others left shortly after that, imitated by
jimin who then came back to talk to them. Min yoongi tried to warn the youngest to keep it shut but it was too late. He's already launching into a long tirade begging the omega to not fight.

His mate and him watched the scene behind him, careful to not say anything but the short alpha  couldn't hide his disappointment. He'd expected better from jungkook  and judging by the look jimin shot him the omega had too.

Seeing that he wasn't getting through him jungkook turned to them, pleading eyes. "Please tell him that it's dangerous." They exchanged a look of sadness. "He is an omega he will get hurt."

"What did you just say?"

He whipped his head back to the omega, puzzled.

"You think because I'm an omega I'm weak?" He growled.

The silence stretched between them palpable they'd have cut it with a knife.

But then the omega sighed, rolling his eyes.

"I was wrong". He started, eyes dimming and lips twisting as he took a step back. You're just like the others alphas." A hint of disgust and sadness in his voice alerted the brothers. They approached, posting themselves on each sides of the youngest. he looked up, teary eyed and tried to reach
out to grab the other man's hand but
he swatted it away, laughing. "You probably expected me to become harmless, a pretty thing that you can fill with your seed and keep as a trophy. He looked away, shaking his head and biting his lower lip. He seemed to be deep in his thought when he whipped his head back up, fiery expression on his face. "But look at me, I'm not domesticated nor harmless. I have claws and teeth and I'll tear them apart limbs by limbs and i'll take great pleasure doing so
because it's who i am an if you can't accept it, then you should leave." he hesitated but in the end, pride won he turned on his heels and left the brothers on the middle of the way.
