A/N: Not safe to read during Ramadan.

Jungkook wore a hurt expression as he gazed at Yoongi, attentively absorbing his words.

"I'm confused by what happened, but it's hard to believe that Seokjin would betray me. However, discovering that his brother is with you has only added to my confusion. Is Taehyung right about everything? I find it hard to believe. Did Seokjin really do that to me?"

Jungkook let out a dissatisfied sigh as he said, "I never thought I'd say this, but I've never heard of my Omega being meant for Taehyung. Throughout my visits to Park's kingdom, I was constantly reminded that I could have any Omega except Seokjin, as he was supposedly reserved for Taehyung. Jimin and I knew we were destined to be together as soon as we saw one other, so I never even had the chance to meet Seokjin."

Yoongi's mouth tightened as he repressed the tears that were about to spill. He couldn't understand why Seokjin would betray him like that, especially after all the emotions he experienced when they were together.

Jungkook rested his hand on Yoongi's shoulder, saying, "I know it must be awful, but perhaps he wasn't intentionally hurting you; rather, he may have been attempting to avoid going to Taehyung because he considered you his real Alpha."

"You think so? Then why didn't he tell me the truth? Why did he say Jimin was the Omega for Taehyung?"

"Most likely, he was afraid. I'm not sure. You are familiar with Omegas. They need us because they are unable to think for themselves. I'm sure things may change if he saw you or knew you were still thinking about him."

"He is married to Taehyung, Jungkook. There is nothing that could change."

"A lot could change. Why aren't you showing any determination? I would never back down if someone dared to take my Omega from me. If Seokjin wasn't worth it, then I understand. Other Omega's around are probably a lot better than him."

"He is fucking worth it!" Yoongi yelled.

Jungkook laughed, loving what he was seeing. "Well, that's good to know. So, what's your plan of attack to get him back? I am sure you'd want him back before he ends up pregnant. Though I doubt Taehyung is sleeping with him."

"You don't seem to get it, Jungkook; there is no taking him back; he is with Taehyung now. He allowed my Seokjin to mark him. And Seokjin is not the reason why I am here; my issue is with Tae-"

Jungkook's eyes widened in surprise as this was new information to him. "What do you mean Seokjin marked him? How do you know that?"

"I saw the mark my fucking self!"

"That's impossible! Seokjin doesn't have that ability."

"How do you find Seokjin?"

Hoseok, during his nightly skin-care routine, glanced over at his husband and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Seokjin, Taehyung's mate. What is your view of him? I know you've been spending a lot of time with him, even when Taehyung and I were away on our travels. I haven't had the opportunity to interact with him yet, so I'm curious. "Namjoon said while carefully reviewing his upcoming schedule."

"Oh, he is nice."

Namjoon gazed at his husband in utter disbelief, "Is that all? Is there nothing else you would like to add?"

"Namjoon, you're aware of my duty. I cannot share any information regarding what happens within the King's quarters, even to you." Hoseok stood and approached his husband while he carried on speaking, "Seokjin is always kind towards me and never makes my work difficult. Rest assured, there's no need to worry about me."

Namjoon expressed relief, saying, "I'm glad as long as he treats you well. After my recent trip with Taehyung, I found myself reflecting on many things. I want to make sure that you stay safe and avoid the possibility of harm, so please be mindful and make wise decisions when you're around Taehyung. I made sure to inform him about our pregnancy, so he should be more considerate in his actions towards you."

Hoseok couldn't help but smile at the thoughtfulness of his husband. It was clear that he had put a lot of effort into considering Hoseok's needs, even going so far as to have a conversation with Taehyung, which Hoseok knew must have been challenging.

"Thank you."

Namjoon set the papers on the chair beside him and gently grasped his husband's hand, drawing him near. "You're welcome," he said, his voice filled with sincerity. "I hope you remember the advice I've given you. Remember that witnessing Taehyung's anger is an experience you should avoid at all costs. I also sense an alarming rise in his power."

"Really?" Hoseok asked, gazing up at Namjoon. "Is that possible?"

"Well, no. I suspect his elevation to the throne has strengthened his confidence now that uncle is no longer here to supervise him." After careful consideration, Namjoon expressed his opinions. He knew that Taehyung could no longer access his full Alpha power.

"That's probably it."

Seokjin's face lit up with a smile as he relaxed on a bench in one of the many parks scattered throughout the kingdom. Observing the children playing and enjoying themselves brought back memories of his youth, when he and Jimin frequently found time to play together.

The memory evoked a mix of emotions as he looked back on his childhood and realized how different his life had turned out. He never imagined that he and his brother would be torn apart until they learned about Jimin's planned purpose, which totally changed their relationship.

Observing the children overflowing with joy and enjoying their day, he couldn't help but ponder the paths ahead for them. Despite his hopes, he was aware of the unlikelihood that they would maintain their innocence and be able to appreciate life's simple moments.

"Prince Seokjin, we have been informed of the possibility of rain heading our way. Shall we go inside now?" A guard who had been standing behind him stepped forward and asked.

Jin gazed up at the sky, which remained just as radiant as when he had initially arrived at the park. He didn't feel any need to hurry indoors, nor did he have any concerns about getting wet in the rain. He had often enjoyed spending time outside in the rain, savoring the unique scent that it carried, which always made him feel instantly secure. There was a certain allure to earthy scents, the crackling of fire flames, the soothing sound of rain, and the gentle flow of streams of water, which brought him a sense of wholesomeness and healing.

He also found the sound of the rain comforting during his heat, which he knew was approaching and had been concerned about.

"No, I think I will be okay. You all can go inside, though. I am fine out here."

The guards exchanged uncertain glances, unsure of how to react. They understood their lack of authority to question the King's mate, yet they couldn't help but doubt the judgment of his recommendation. They remained motionless, deciding it was the safest to stay put.

Noticing the lack of response from any of the four guards, Jin glanced at them and said, "You don't have to stay out here and get wet on my account. It's fine for you to go back inside. Consider this as me providing you all a break from your duties today."

"Prince Seokjin, we accept your kindness, but there is no need. We are perfectly capable of fulfilling our responsibilities without any inconvenience."

Noticing their determination, Jin stood up and gave them a polite smile, "Okay, let's go inside."

He was concerned about the possibility of rain making others sick, so he decided to retreat to his room's balcony to enjoy the view and feel of the rain.

As he made his way inside the halls of the King's quarters, he detected the King's presence and felt a sudden increase in his body temperature. The guard's sudden stop also forced him to come to a halt. His heart pounded with nervousness as he looked ahead, catching sight of Taehyung approaching them.

Jin averted his gaze, showing no interest in making eye contact with Taehyung. He couldn't help but feel surprised to see Taehyung walking unaccompanied, without any guards by his side. Even though he hadn't seen the King in almost two months, as their encounters were infrequent, he had not been expecting him to be walking alone.

Taehyung was on the verge of walking past Jin but suddenly stopped when something caught his attention.

"Seokjin." He shouted.

Jin turned around with worry, his heart racing, and met the King's gaze. "Yes, my King?" he asked cautiously.

"Come over here to me." He ordered and then glanced at the guards who stood there, avoiding eye contact, "You're all free to go."

"Yes, sir." They all said in unison, respectfully lowering their heads and departing.

Jin cautiously approached the King, his gaze darting around the room. As he approached him, his heart raced, and the intense heat within him grew stronger.

"Your heat," Taehyung said with a smirk on his face. He narrowed the distance between him and Jin, extending his hand to trace his fingers along the mark on Jin's neck. As he applied pressure, Jin couldn't help but let out a soft whimper and lean into his touch.

"I've heard that it can be unbearably miserable, to the point of being fatal, for an Omega to endure their first heat after being mated without having the aid of their Alpha." Taehyung's grip tightened on the back of Jin's neck, forcing him to meet his gaze. "You should be alright, though," he said, his voice dripping with disdain. "After all, you've had plenty of practice letting others get their hands on you."

"Please," Jin pleaded. "I really don't want to be alone." His gaze was filled with desperation as he locked eyes with Taehyung. His fingers tightly clutched Taehyung's shirt.

"I know the wrongs I have done, but please, you are my Alpha. You can't do this to me, please." Jin declared. He couldn't bear the thought of going through his heat without Taehyung.

Taehyung's body grew rigid as he quickly surveyed the surrounding halls. Without hesitation, he firmly grasped Jin's arm and urged him to move forward. Taehyung strode purposefully towards his office, and the guards stationed in front of the door promptly opened it, allowing him and Jin to enter before closing it behind them.

Once inside, Taehyung's strong grip pulled Jin close; their bodies pressed tightly together as he locked eyes with him. "Are you oblivious to my role in this kingdom?"

Finding comfort in the closeness of his Alpha, Jin replied, "No, my Alpha, I am not."

"Don't call me that. I've already made it clear that you haven't earned the privilege of calling me your Alpha." Taehyung raised his voice and shot Jin an intense look.

The room was filled with the loud sound of thunder and lightning while an unrelenting downpour of rain raged outside.

"I am sorry." Jin softly murmured, resting his head on Taehyung's shoulder, savoring the serene tranquility that enveloped him in the company of his Alpha, accompanied by the powerful symphony of rain pouring outside.

Taehyung reached out and brushed aside the strands of hair sticking to Jin's forehead. His fingers then intertwined with Jin's hair as he leaned in, tilting his Omega's head back and intensely kissing him.

The kiss ignited an intense explosion of burning desire as their bodies connected, and Jin embraced Taehyung tightly, his arms encircling Taehyung's neck.

A fervent gasp and exchanges of sounds of pleasure filled the air as Taehyung eagerly tore apart Jin's clothing, his hunger for the Omega growing stronger with each touch that they shared. The relentless downpour outside, coupled with the sudden drop in temperature, couldn't overshadow the flaming energy that consumed them.

Their kiss was eager, biting each other's lips, exploring their mouths with their tongues, and desperately wanting more. Taehyung undid his pants and stepped out while picking Jin up. He gripped Jin's waist hard with one arm and used the other to grasp and elevate Jin's thigh, positioning himself at his entrance before thrusting forward roughly.

Jin's eyes filled with tears as he struggled to bear with the overwhelming sensations of his Alpha's cock stretching and filling him. It was an unforgettable experience for him, beyond anything he could've imagined. His hold on Taehyung strengthened as their kiss grew increasingly passionate, and he moved his hips, syncing with the rhythm of Taehyung's thrusts.

Breaking their kiss, Taehyung's tongue followed his Omega's jawline, sliding down to his neck, kissing him here and there, and nipping the lines of his skin. He led Jin to the nearest wall and pressed him up against it. With his hands free, he supported Jin's body with the wall as Jin maintained his legs firmly coiled around Taehyung's waist.

As his Alpha fingers caressed and wildly twisted at his nipples while simultaneously thrusting upward into him, Jin had a dominating combination of heat and pleasure that bordered on torture and ecstasy.

The severe thunderstorm outside heightened their passion as their energies drew from each other, and the smoldering spark of their fate flared alive with every kiss, touch, and sensation.

Taehyung's eyes flared a deep scarlet as he firmly pinned Jin's hands against the wall and plunged deeper into him. Jin let out a series of loud, uncontrollable screams as his body gave in to the demands of his Alpha, who was asserting his dominance over him and tearing down any barriers that stood in his way.

Jin's body tensed as his hole contracted and bliss took over, triggering cum to flow from his cock, and his slick continued enveloping Taehyung's cock. Accelerating the Alpha's thrust with unstoppable force and even faster speed.

Taehyung's tongue followed his marking as he pressed his lips on his Omega's neck. With his hot seed flooding Jin's hole, Taehyung increased the power of his thrusts while biting down on Jin's neck.

They stayed locked together, their breaths irregular, their lips meeting, kissing, and stroking. Taehyung had never been affected by or experienced what it was like to be with an Omega in heat, and he certainly hadn't ever wanted to. Yet, with Seokjin, things were different, and he was aware that their being mated was the reason for it.

As his body eased into a state of relaxation, Jin found himself drawn to the comforting warmth of Taehyung's neck. With an inkling of hesitation, he tenderly kissed Taehyung's skin. He lightly nibbled on his mark before giving an affectionate bite, causing an adrenaline rush of fulfillment that rippled through his body.

"I don't remember giving you permission for that." Taehyung scowled as Jin lifted his head and locked eyes with him.

Before Jin could react, their knot loosened, and Taehyung drew away from Jin, helping him to stand.

As Jin stood up, a mixture of fluids started to trickle down between his thighs. He glanced ahead and noticed his Alpha's intense gaze, which caused him to feel nervous in his naked state. A sense of alarm washed over him at that thought, but unfortunately, it was already too late.

Taehyung dragged Jin closer, his fingers reaching the prominent scar on his Omega's hip. "What happened here?"

Jin's heart started pounding, and his voice quivered as he stammered, "I-it happened when I had fallen a long time ago."

Taehyung raised an eyebrow, his gaze locked onto his Omega's eyes. He sensed right away that his Omega was being dishonest. However, he didn't inquire further as he knew how to get the answer. There was still a lot for him and Seokjin to discuss, but timing was everything. He knew soon he would have all the answers.

He briefly stepped away from Jin and quickly returned with a blanket, draping it around him. "How long does your heat typically last?"

Jin felt thankful for the blanket's warmth as he responded, "Sometimes, two to five days."

Taehyung moved his hand and gripped Jin's jaw tightly; he stared into his eyes and questioned, "So, you used to spend all that time with Min Yoongi, huh?"

Jin's face contorted with shock when he heard Yoongi's name, leaving his heart pounding. He struggled to tear his gaze away from Taehyung but found it impossible.

"Seokjin, I'm still awaiting an answer," Taehyung demanded. "And before you answer, allow me to warn you; if I sense even the slightest indication that your feelings or thoughts are shifting toward him, be prepared." Taehyung's anger boiled over as his hand lowered, his fingers tightened around Jin's throat, his voice dripping with threat, "This will be the day you meet your end."
