Third person P.O.V

Jimin was pacing back and forth, his heart palpitation going up to the sky at the silence he was facing after a while, Taehyung was left inside the room.

"You shouldn't have left him!" Yoongi sighed tiredly, rubbing his neck at the shout of his mate.

"Taehyung told us to leave. And you went to him yourself, minie."

Hearing the bitter truth, Jimin took a deep breath and slumped down on the ground. His heart was restless. Maybe it was the guilt for asking Taehyung to go there when deep down he was well aware of what could have happened inside. Gulping thickly, he nodded his head, which felt so heavy now.

"Taehyung will be fine, Minie. The glint in his eyes said it all."

Maybe, just maybe... those words were a bit like a drop of water on the scorching land of his heart for now.

••••••••••••

The night has turned into a blooming day with very pleasant weather, making birds chirp in great joy. The soft smell of freshly watered soil lingered in the air with the flowers swaying in the softest waves of wind.

Feeling as if his body was so light under the effects, the male groaned in pleasure at the sweet smell close to his nose and turned on his side to hug the source. His heart tingled inside... his body underwent goosebumps when a strange feeling of fullness embedded his whole frame.

Snuggling close to the source, the werewolf softly hummed and took a greedy whiff of the calming scent, the same scent that was his favorite for some weeks and will stay the same for the rest of his life... the scent he felt greedy to bathe in for the whole time and the same scent he did bathe the last night -

Sitting up with wide eyes when the realization dawned upon him like a rush of waves, he felt his eyes falling to the side, body shivering at the worst scenario building up in his mind because yes... his wolf took over, but unlike the last times, he did have a few fragments of what actually happened.

The heart that swelled in warmth suddenly dropped the moment he found Taehyung lying there...

Stark naked!

"Oh no!"

Horror-struck eyes stayed glued to the freshly made mark on the tan skin of his mate... his poor mate who looked kind of pale but peaceful too.?

"Tae?" The tongue in his mouth was dry... his throat was parched, and his heart was drowning because the male was out cold.

Taking a staggering breath, Jungkook scooted closer to the human. It looked pathetic the way his hand was shaking so badly when it came in contact with Taehyung's burning skin, but his heart sank more when the human leaned to his touch.

Retracting his hand as if burned, Jungkook got up from the bed to find himself naked as well, a few scratches decorating his torso, which he didn't mind at all and rushed to the bathroom to get himself a towel dipped in water only to rush back to clean Taehyung all while trying his best to stop his tears.

It looked like Taehyung wasn't handled in a brutal way, judging from his body, but Jungkook knew better about his wolf and the thirst he had over the past days during that stupid rut.

Once done cleaning the sleeping man, he rushed to get some comfortable clothes and soon, Taehyung was back in his warm place, all clean and cladded in warm clothes.

Now worrying over the raised temperature of the human, Jungkook rushed here and there to get another cloth wet in water to place it on Taehyung's forehead, his mind going berserk all while praying for the human to wake up soon.

The soft knocks at the door made him halt from caressing Taehyung's hair, and he got up while licking his dry and chapped lips only to find Jin and Jimin standing there with question-filled eyes looking back at him.

Jin's eyes went blown wide when he noticed the screaming scent all over Jungkook's body, and Jimin wasn't too different as well.

"Jungkook?"

"Hyung... I - I don't remember much, but..." Jimin bit his lips so hard that it almost bled. They knew what it meant... all of them were aware of what that stuttering and pause meant.

"Is he alright?! Only marking him left him burning in fever for days, Jungkook!" Jin wasn't that scary usually, but he felt to be protective over the human.

Jungkook hung his head low, and Jimin took it as a cue to rush inside to gasp softly at the view.

"Sire! Jungkook!"

••••••••

A few moments ago, when those soothing fingers were cradling his hair, Taehyung was awake. He wanted to open his eyes while recalling everything that had happened last night... every single moment, every small detail was plastered over his mind.

No, Jungkook wasn't wild, nor harsh with his actions. Instead, his every movement was calculated and controlled as if he continued fighting his wolf to completely take over and wreck his body. That's what made his heart feel warm all over again because Jimin had clarified how difficult it is for an alpha to control his wolf in a rut, and here, he witnessed the biggest patience level ever.

He won't lie, everything was painful, from that marking to the mating, but the way Jungkook had his control was highly respected and how he was praising him after every step... just swelled his heart in pride.

When the soft knock was delivered on the door, he finally opened his eyes after some effort and saw Jungkook leaving the room, looking definitely nervous. He really wanted to call him but stopped hearing another voice from outside, sounding a bit angry, making him alert so that he got up only to wince at the shooting pain all over his body.

"Sire! Jungkook!" The familiar voice made him look up to find Jimin standing there with his mouth agape, and soon, Jungkook rushed inside, looking clearly panicked.

"What happened?!" Their eyes met, and at that moment, Taehyung realized what that feeling was. His heart hammered against his rib cage, and the adrenaline was pumping so loud in his veins, urging him to just jump at the male standing at the doorway, looking all handsome even in his disheveled condition. At the moment, he knew... it wasn't just liking... it was intense after that night... it was just so intense as if printed all over his heart and mind, wanting to be just in those arms again.

"Hyung." The softest call from Taehyung had all of them bewildered. Don't take them wrong, but they didn't know what sort of impression the night had left on his heart and mind, and now hearing that soft voice was just sort of shocking.

Jungkook licked his lips, still conflicted over what to do until the call was there again in that velvety voice. "Hyung,"

Taehyung blinked, clutching the blanket away from his body, ready to stand up so that he could just embrace the older male to satisfy that odd need bubbling inside his chest. Stumbling lightly over his shaking legs, he almost tripped over the cold floor but was embraced in those arms he was craving for... finally.

Closing his eyes and avoiding everything else, he just sneaked his arms around Jungkook's neck and hugged him tightly by nuzzling his shoulder. Jin and Jimin felt their hearts warming, calming at the sight unfolding in front of him they had waited for long. They always wished to see Jungkook happy with his mate, but it seemed like their wish finally came true.

Jimin bit his lips, noticing that Jungkook was stiff under Taehyung's touch, and it wasn't rocket science to know the reason as well, so he nudged the alpha lightly, linking.

'He needs your care and attention now. You might make him feel unwanted through your stiffness, and that definitely isn't your intention.'

It stirred some senses in his jumbled-up mind, and the two males silently left them to talk.

"Taehyung,"

"What happened to pup?"

Jungkook was surely taken aback by a whine-like tone, and in the next second, he felt the loud heartbeats of his gorgeous mate when he unconsciously nosed the mating mark.

"I- I want to take a bath, hyung." Who was Jungkook to deny the words so they both were found inside the bathroom where the older male was preparing the warm bath for the human sitting on the counter while closely noticing the hesitation in the actions.

"Hyung."

"Hm."

Biting his lips, Taehyung got down the counter, hissing softly at the sore muscles protesting at his movements, which had Jungkook all attentive.

"Careful! You can ask me, why are you getting down? Do you need something?" Taehyung frowned when Jungkook marched forth, but the way his hands were hesitant to touch, he knew the reason.

Smiling lightly, he went to get the hands of Jungkook, who again went stiff at the gentle touch. "Stop blaming yourself. You didn't hurt me..." Softly cupping his cheek, the blue-haired continued. "You can't hurt your pup, hyung."

The moment felt so unreal, maybe unreasonable too after what he did but his mate... his precious mate was just melting his heart, drowning his mind within it, making him feel complete, and honestly, the feeling was surreal.

Taehyung pouted when Jungkook's lips wobbled. "Hyung, I should be the one crying because of the aching body. You can't do that." Huffing in the end, he cupped Jungkook's both cheeks and nibbled his lower lip before placing a small peck over the cute nose of the older male and rushing back, only to trip over his jelly legs.

"You are... you left me speechless, pup." Of course, he was caught in those strong arms before he could sprint or fall, soon ending up bridal style in the same embrace, turning his cheeks pink when the peck was delivered back over his nose.

"P- put me down, hyung. I'm heavy!" Despite his protest, he was lifted to the bathtub where Jungkook helped him wash his hair and left only after ensuring he was fine.

The rest of the day, both of them spent their time talking about some random things in the room where Jimin came to give them food twice, and for Jungkook, that day was the biggest achievement, the biggest reward of his patience of years.

But good things never remain permanent, do they?

Just like that, after spending 2 more days with his mate while taking care of him like he was a glass, Jungkook made sure that he recovered quickly and was happy with his new change of life. The striking fresh mark over his skin was erupting waves of pride in his chest, building a need to stay with his newly mated better half for every second, but unfortunately... duty calls. He had to leave for a meeting with another pack who claimed to see Jae's family in their pack boundaries.

Taehyung, well, he was sulking when Jungkook took a few things and chuckled at his pouting face. "If you are leaving, what will I do here?"

"You can spend your time with Jimin, pup. But only Jimin for now, hmm?" Observing the possessiveness in his tone, Taehyung scoffed and fell back on the mattress, bouncing a bit.

"But Jimin is mostly busy with his duties. I don't like disturbing him." It was true. He really felt odd disturbing him, but also, he wanted to go back to his university, too. After all, he can not just keep on skipping when he has a project to complete. 

"Hyungie~" Jungkook felt his throat getting dry at the voice and name, but he acted tough. "Yes, pup."

"You are getting back to your meeting, and everyone is busy too. How about I complete my project by then? I did major searching already, and now I need to complete it quickly so that I can... um.." Blushing furiously at what he was about to blurt out, he slumped back on the bed and hid his face with the pillow.

Jungkook blinked, confused at the sudden pause, and marched toward the younger. "What's that, pup?"

"Nothing." The muffled voice was so cute, yet the lingering suspense was making the older slightly teasing. Smirking when he noticed the beautiful pink shade on Taehyung's neck, he jumped over the human, earning a soft 'ouff' that soon changed into melodious giggles.

"My pup is hiding something from me, hm?" Taehyung frowned, his shield of pillow long forgotten and cheeks flushed pink after the sweet torture.

"Aren't you capable of reading minds?" Jungkook arched his brow, looking challenged and Taehyung might've regretted that right after because he wasn't ready to let his thoughts pour out when they just started 2 days ago to know each other fully. He wanted to do everything slowly and steadily.

Before he could say something, a sweet kiss landed on his forehead, causing his lashes to flutter. "Don't worry, I won't do that with you until you say so."

And right then, Taehyung felt his every piece of heart screaming at him that it didn't belong to him anymore... and finally, his mind admitted it, too.

"Ahm... so, can I go back before they call Hoseok hyung about my absence?" Jungkook scrunched his nose adorably, tightening his hold over Taehyung's waist as both of them were lying on their sides, groaning playfully but what could he do when his eatable mate was showing his puppy eyes?

"Fine. You can go, but make sure to stay close to Hyuna."

Finding the hint of possessiveness cute, Taehyung tested the waters. "Why not Soobin or Junie? They are so sweet~"

Right that moment, he was toppled over, now resting over the hard and broad chest with piercing eyes staring back at him. "Trying to make me jealous, pup?"

Taehyung felt his heart stuttering at the gaze and dropped the idea of teasing, instead just slumped down, hiding his face in Jungkook's neck. "No, I just... they make me feel at ease."

Smiling at the little voice, Jungkook caressed the soft hair and hummed. "Of course, you can stay with them. They are bound to serve their Luna well."

"Hyung~~" Soft laughter filled the room, knowing well how Taehyung didn't like being called Luna because it sounded very girly but would he stop to hear that adorable sound? A big fat no. 

The serene environment was like the safe bubble they would cherish for their whole life. Finally bound together through every nerve in their bodies, they felt over the clouds, even when they hadn't confessed openly, their actions and hearts were clear signs of their love for each other. 

Finally, they felt complete when introduced in front of the whole pack as mates, the older male having a soft yet firm grip over his waist while calling out his members to respect his mate as their next luna. They all cheered joyfully for their sire even when some of them still detested the idea of having a human to rule over them, they respected their leader... 

excluding a pair of eyes that held a strong fire of anger burning in them.
