'It may not be better, but it's just meant to be.'

Jimin was sitting alone in the dungeon. That too was his luck that he wasn't kept with other criminals.

Usually the dungeons were reserved for those who were very cruel offenders. Even though he was alone, the place wasn't getting any less scary. The cold hard floor was causing his skin scratches at every little move. The air was smelling pungent like something was kept to rot for years.

In a way, it was.

Because people locked up in the dungeons are locked up for their whole life till they die. Cells are for normal criminals. But the dungeons were known as death. Once you come here, it was to never see the daylight again.

And Jimin was scared of the dead bodies of the former criminals that still might rotting and lying around. So being alone was quite scaring as it is. His scent had turned stale, no more smelling like rain.

On top of that he hadn't been eating at all because of the nausea he was getting because all of the stinky smell around. He almost had vomited when the guard brought food for him which some kind of stinky leftover stew. When it's smell got mixed up with the pungent and rusty smell of the dungeons, Jimin vomited his guts out after the guard left.

Even in that state, there was an alpha guard who was keeping watch on Jimin. Keeping watch in the sense, eyeing him up and down.

Ever since the Omega was brought in, the whole dungeon was smelling like his fresh rain Omegan scent. The smell was strong and a little withered, but addictive nonetheless. All the offenders who were in the dungeons were going crazy over it. But still unable to get a taste of that delicious aroma.

Jimin had closed his eyes with difficulty, tired of all the drama he has gone through. All of sudden, he felt a hand roaming on his arm. He jolted awake to see an alpha guard hovering over him.

He shrieked and crawled away from him to a corner.

"Just a bit...", The Alpha guard said in a daze as he raised his hands towards Jimin to touch him. His eyes were flickering untimely.

Jimin tried to make himself smaller. The touch of any Alpha other than his Jaehwan felt like thorns to him.

While the Alpha had no intention to stop. He didn't even look like he was in his right mind. He was just driven by Jimin's pure Omegan scent. So he became braver to possess Jimin all to himself or at least get a little bit of taste.

Jimin tried scooting away as far as possible.

"Hey, what are you doing inside?", Before he could touch him, Jimin heard someone call our from outside the dungeon. In no time the Alpha was pulled back and it made Jimin open his eyes to look at his saviour.

A small smile spread his lips to see Chanyeol standing there.

"Do you want to get punished to visit this Omega without permission? Don't you know, no one is allowed here?", Chanyeol said in stern voice that made the Alpha cower a little.

"Please don't tell anyone. I didn't know what came over me. Otherwise I would never have acted like this.", The Alpha begged to Chanyeol.

"I won't. Now be gone.", Chanyeol said and the next moment the Alpha was gone without any word. After he made sure of his departure, Chanyeol turned to Jimin. He immediately crouched down in front him.

"Are you alright Luna? My apologies to call you singularly earlier.", He apologized. But Jimin just looked at him in daze. Chanyeol waited for answer patiently.

"Aren't you able to smell me?", He asked after few seconds.

"I am Luna. But the herbs I took are strong. So it's keeping my head straight. But you shouldn't worry about that.", Chanyeol chuckled lightly.

"How did you come here? Are you posted here?"

"No my grace. I smelled that Alpha's arousal and your scent while I was here for some work. I need to go from here. But is there anything you want me to do? I will try to help you as much as possible.", He said in whispers.

"I- nothing. Where is Sungwoon?", He asked. Chanyeol's face saddened.

"What happened?", Jimin observed his changing expressions.

"He has been prisoned since he delayed making the medicine her Highness had asked to make for you.", He answered and Jimin was shocked.

"What medicine?"

"The red elixir.", He answered quietly. And Jimin fell into disbelief.

He couldn't believe that Lisa could drop this low. He always had some faith that it could be just some Lisa might be going through. But no.

He had started loosing his whatever trust it was ever since Lisa had hit him and started threatening him to sleep with her. And maybe that was the reason he never felt guilty to cheat on her... Moreover, he always looked for a reason to cheat.

And if Lisa was bad then Jaehwan wasn't a saint either.

So just maybe that was the reason, he remained oblivious to Lisa's behaviour while not giving Jaehwan any more than just physical pleasure.

But still it pained him to not be closer to Jaehwan. Even though he was married to Lisa, it meant nothing to him. This marriage had just became a title to him.

It's like he always, at least unconsciously, knew that every cell in his body belonged to just one Alpha.

His Jaehwan.

Even though he didn't know him, it always felt like he has known for a long time. And maybe that's why his guard always fell down whenever the Alpha was with him.

His Alpha...

"It's an issue regarding your son."

"My son? Are you sure whom are you talking about?", The elderly Alpha said in a slight sarcastic tone. He was bit elderly, but handsome nonetheless. His cat like eyes roamed over the whole courtroom in attempts of silent questioning glare. Lisa was quite aware of this person's history.

She knew that this person was crowned as Daegu's Alpha King by Jeon Jungkook. Before that he was just a rogue. But no one knew that Jeon Jungkook was his own son. Maybe they hid this fact to be safe from criticism that always flowed in every kingdom's politics. If he wanted to show his clean slate, he needs to wipe the records of being Jeon Jungkook's father who continued living as a rogue till this date.

"Certainly. Isn't Jeon Jungkook your son? Or are you trying to hide this fact that your son is a rogue so that you can gain some respect among royals like us?", Lisa said in a mocking tone while the Old king who was sitting besides her kept quiet. He didn't know how Lisa was going to handle this.

Yoongi, instead of getting offended simply chuckled, mirroring Lisa's mocking laugh.

"Royals like you? I must say, you have a good sense of humour Alpha Lisa. You joke really well.", Yoongi's statement made Lisa fell into silence. More like her glare intensified.

"What do you mean?", She threatened.

"That's not a thing for me to tell you. Or better yet, your father can answer you that. Won't you now, Alpha il-sung?", Yoongi said as he looked at the old Alpha besides Lisa. He had gone quiet. But his eyes were still boring daggers towards Yoongi.

"Besides, I never hid the fact of Jungkook being my son. Do you really think I need hide this fact, when in fact my son's name bears so much respect and fear even though he is a rogue... If I wanted to gain respect I would use his name first... I never needed it since if respect means getting along with people like you, I'm fine being treated with disrespect.", Yoongi's voice held bite in it. And with every passing word Lisa's anger had reached to the top.

"ENOUGH!!! You have said Enough. GUARDS!!! ARREST THIS DISRESPECTFUL PERSON RIGHT NOW AND THROW HIM INTO CELLS!!!!", Lisa roared making everyone flinch.

The court started whispering among each other, but no one dared to state their opinion against Lisa. Jinyoung watched in disbelief as no courtier raised their voice. How could they, they all were some personnel Lisa has appointed recently while she fired all the older courtiers since they were listening to her father more.

Even Lisa's father was shocked at the step Lisa decided to take. This could end being very destructive for Busan if the word spreads how she treated another King in her royal court.

"Lisa what are you doing!!", He whisper yelled at Lisa decided to ignore him as she watched the guards coming in to take Yoongi with them.

Yoongi's face was unfazed as if this humiliation meant nothing to him. However, he had a small smirk on his lips as if still mocking Lisa. And seeing that her rage wasn't anywhere near to be cooled down.

"He has disrespected me, the Alpha of Busan, in my court. That's the enough reason for him to get prisoned.", She answered her father without looking.

Yoongi turned to look at both father and daughter duo. Eyes intense as if it was a silent warning of the upcoming storm.
