When Taehyung wakes up, the first thing he notices is the intense scent of the alpha.

His eyes widened, eyes darting around the room.

Didn't he fall asleep in the spare room yesterday? Then why the fuck is he in JK's?

He sighed out a breath of relief seeing the said male on the couch in the back of the room, not anywhere near him.

That's when he remembers.

Right. The alpha said he was going to be near him at all costs in order to speed up his upcoming heat.

The omega grumbles out some phrases in anger, kicking the duvets off him that reek of the other. His wolf whines within him, making him scoff in disbelief.

He tip-toes out of the room, closing the door behind him as quietly as possible. Dashing downstairs, his hand immediately reaches for the front door.

Locked.

Obviously.

He groans in frustration, already speeding over towards the first window he puts his eyes on.

Locked.

He runs over towards the second.

Locked.

The third, locked.

The fourth, locked.

His eyes fell onto the plate in the sink, then back at the window. If he'd throw it with all his might, the window will shatter to pieces and he'd have the chance to escape.

But, unfortunately, the alpha will wake up as soon as he tries and he won't get very far.

He sighs, defeated. Slumping down on the couch in the living room, he stares up at the ceiling.

<Jiminie? Can you hear me?

Silence.

<Mom? Can you hear me?

>Taehyung-ah! Where are you? Your father and I went to see you yesterday, but you weren't home.

He shot up, his heart speeding up in his chest.

<Mom! Please, I need help! I entered the event and I got claimed, I'm with him now. Please come and get me, I don't want this!

He doesn't know how to explain the long story in short to his mother, so he decided to just go with the headlines.

But, all he got in return, were laughs.

>Don't be so silly! I can't believe you entered the event! I'm so proud of you, look at you, all growing up. I'll make sure to let your dad know, you just go ahead and thrive, yes?

The omega was at loss of words. Of course his parents would say such a thing. What did he expect?

<Do you know where Jimin is? I can't reach him.

He went with instead, knowing his best friend is going to be his only help to get out of his current situation.

>Oh, yes! He's with his mate, but he went into heat so he temporarily blocked all of his mind links. He told me to tell you.

Taehyung exhales in relief. Thank the moon goddess.

>Go spend time with your mate, now! The first few days are very important for the completion of the bond. We'll talk soon!

With that, his mother blocked the mind link, making him unable to reach her. He quickly tried to reach his father, but of course he had done the same.

The omega curses under his breath.

He figures he needs to have a plan in order to possibly get the chance to get out of the alpha's grasp. So, he thought for a minute, until a light bulb flickers on above his head.

He dashes towards the kitchen, opening a few cabinets in order to find clean plates. Grabbing one, he puts it on the counter and starts searching for food.

Curiously peeking inside the refrigerator, he nods to himself seeing things he could use. He takes out the leftovers from the meat-mix the alpha still has and grabs some fruit to cut in small pieces afterwards.

Putting it all together on the plate whilst making it look decently, he proceeds to grab a glass of water and then takes a hold of his preparations.

Walking upstairs, he takes a deep inhale to mentally prepare himself. Using his foot to open the door of the alpha's room, he silently steps towards his sleeping figure.

"A─Alpha, wake up.." He whispers, trying to stop his hands from shaking since he didn't want the water to spill over the edge of the glass.

His figure stirs, eyes fluttering open immediately which left Taehyung breathless. He quickly averts his gaze towards the food.

"Omega, why are you up? It's early, you should be resting, still."

"I woke up early, so I decided to make you breakfast." He answers, extending his arms so the dominant would take it from him.

After all, he figured that if he'd get the alpha to trust him, he'd have the chance to escape. And what's a better way to earn his trust, other than acting like the perfect submissive?

JK takes it from him, but instead of thanking him, he he stands up instead. "Follow me."

Doing as told, Taehyung has a light frown on his face while obediently following suit. Did he do something wrong?

He watches as the alpha puts the breakfast on the table, pulling out a chair. "Sit."

Taehyung does, staring down in uncertainty. To his surprise, the plate gets shoved right under his gaze.

"Eat."

Taehyung surpresses his wolf, averting his eyes from the food in confusion. "B─but alpha, I made that for you."

He doesn't get it. He's trying to act like the perfect submissive every dominant would want him to be, why is the other─

"It's my job to provide for you, omega. I'm your alpha. Now eat."

The omega's jaw almost slacked in bewilderment. He takes the fork hesitantly, stabbing a random piece of meat onto it and raising it to his mouth.

He only watches the alpha's figure sit down across from him, feeling his stare bore right through him.

Throughout the rest of the breakfast, Taehyung tries to get over the silence by simply stuffing more food in his mouth to keep himself occupied. He earns a deep chuckle at that, which causes him to fidget in his seat.

When he clears the plate, he speaks up. "What about you, alpha? There are no leftovers in the refrigerator. You need to eat, too."

Due to him being respectful, he misses the way the alpha stares down at him in adoration. The wolf within him went rigid at the words of the omega. He doesn't want the other to worry about him, that's his job.

"I'll be fine, pup. I need to go hunting today anyway,"

Taehyung nods, blushing slightly at the nickname and starting to play with his own fingers on his lap.

With the alpha gone, it'll be his chance to escape─

"And I'm taking you with me."
