Chapter Text
When Park Jimin presented as an Alpha his clan was more than surprised by the turn of events. His parents and friends were sure he would either be an Omega or Beta, with his small frame, kind heart and caring personality the typical stereotype of Jimin’s nature was clear to everyone. But when his eyes turned red, and his wolf transformed into a big, dark brown fur with strong muscle stood in front of everyone; his parents as well as the rest of his clan could only stare in awe.
Jimin from then on learned how to feel comfortable in his new body, sure he was still smaller than most stereotypical alphas, but he was agile and his precise hits were not something that could be thought little of.
It was during a gathering with the other clans across the borders that he met Kim Seokjin, the only child of the head Alpha who was their neighborhood clan. He was surrounded by two other wolves and Jimin had wondered why Seokjin, presumably an alpha would be in need of bodyguards if he could defend himself.
Jimin stared at Seokjin a bit more and looked away not trying to get himself involved in anything, however he couldn’t help but feel that there something off about the him and the sad expression he wore whenever his father would touch his back only made Jimin more curious.
Much like every other peaceful gathering, all the clans were able to transform into their wolf form and have fun during the full moon. Whether to hunt, talk with one another or find a potential mate, Jimin would often find himself with his own friends that he was able to meet in other clans.
“Hey, what do you think of Kim Seokjin?” He suddenly found himself asking out loud while walking across a stream with Taehyung, a beta.
Taehyung shook his head, “Not much other than the fact that his father doesn’t seem to show him too much in his own clan. I heard he often spends his time inside their home which is unusual for an alpha to do but maybe things are different in their clan.”
Jimin hummed.
Strange indeed.
“Yeah. I saw him today, he looked a bit nervous if you ask me.”
“I would be too if I had that many people looking at me all the time. You do know he usually doesn’t come to these gatherings but hey, maybe he’s looking for a potential mate” Taehyung scratched his paws on a tree branch, “although that’s gonna take time. He’s really gorgeous and I heard a lot of other head alphas are interested in having their children mate with him.”
Jimin’s eyes widened for a bit. He didn’t know why the news made him uncomfortable but ever since he saw the other alpha couldn’t help but feel a pull. A weight on him where his inner wolf told him to protect, but from what?
Just as he was about to ask him more, both wolves stopped when they heard a branch breaking behind them. They both looked back and Jimin lost his thoughts when he noticed who it was.
Kim Seokjin stood in front of them with his hair disheveled, gasping for air and body shaking a bit. Both Jimin and Taehyung transformed back to their human forms and stared at the panting body in front of them.
“Oh, I’m so sorry I didn’t mean to startle you both. But I was just… running around for a bit.”
Jimin was about to speak up when the wind suddenly picked up and a sweet aroma hit his nose. He concentrated on the scent and his eyes widened as he looked at Seokjin who appeared more nervous by the second.
“Ah, it’s alright. I’m Kim Taehyung a beta and this is my friend Jimin, an alpha.”, Taehyung spoke up giving a warm smile to Seokjin.
Seokjin’s eyes however, widened just the slightest when Taehyung mentioned Jimin being an alpha. He took another step back and gave them a firm nod, “Sorry again if I disrupted you both. But I must get going, my father is waiting for me.”
Jimin sniffed the air once more and stared at Seokjin. His eyes reddened a bit before turning back to its original brown color.
“You’re an -”
“Oh my father is calling me. I better go, it was nice meeting you both!”, Seokjin turned the other way and ran back to where he came from not letting Jimin finish what he was going to say.
Taehyung looked at the interaction confused but he shook his head and shifted back into wolf form so that they could continue their hunt.
Jimin looked at the retreating figure and sighed. It was none of his business but something about Seokjin compelled his wolf to want to get closer. He shifted back and followed Taehyung.
Time passed. When spring arrived he saw Seokjin again.
Seokjin was next to another person, a hand tightly around his waist. The man was grinning as though he had won a price instead of a mate. Seokjin’s father had announced in the yearly gathering that Seokjin was going to marry the man beside him.
Jimin’s eyes widened at the announcement, his inner wolf growling at him to take the hand away from Seokjin’s waist. But all he could do was bite his lip until he tasted blood and curl his hands.
The only thing he remembered that night as he laid awake in his bed was Seokjin’s sad eyes when they made eye contact.
The only omega his wolf wanted was going to mate with an alpha he didn’t want.
