Chapter Text
They're travelling for 5 days now and Taehyung sends a worried glance to his black-furred mate. Jungkook's more quiet and reluctant than usual and Taehyung knows, that something distresses him. He's a little disappointed and even slightly hurt, that Jungkook hasn't tried to talk to him about his concerns, but Taehyung's sure, that he worries about their friends, their new pack. He notices the small glances, Jungkook throws over his shoulder to look at them. They're all tired and exhausted, because travelling all day, with only a few hours of rest during night, takes away a lot of energy.
Jungkook's tired as well, Taehyung can see this, but he's their lead alpha now and he's keeping watch at night, sleeping less than all the others. Namjoon and Yoongi are his two right-hand-man and they replace him during a few hours at night, but Taehyung knows, that Jungkook feels too responsible to find proper sleep.
Taehyung really needs to talk to his mate and he's glad, when the younger decides to let the pack rest at the shore of a small creek.
They're currently travelling through an area, that's not claimed by a pack. It's like a neutral area, no pack's allowed to claim it, so that rogue wolves are able to travel in peace. Not all wolves are font of pack life after all.
Taehyung watches for a while, how Kenta and Wooyoung play with their older pups in the creek under Sanggyun's and San's watchful eyes, then, he looks at Jimin, who's curling his body around Chaeyoung's human form. The little girl isn't able to shift yet, same as Kenta's and Sanggyun's younger son. Then, Taehyung looks at Jungkook. The alpha's sitting on the grass, next to the creek and Taehyung walks over to him. He lays down next to him and rolls around on his back. He feels Jungkook's eyes on him and places his front paw over his eyes. His tongue falls out of his snout and through their mental connection, that has formed through the years of being together, he hears a deep laughter rumble through Jungkook.
The alpha lays down and Taehyung rolls back, before he rests his head on Jungkook's paws. Soon, his mate starts nuzzling his neck and a few moments later, a wet tongue glides through Taehyung's white fur. The omega closes his eyes and enjoys Jungkook's gentle treatment, but when he notices, that he starts to doze off, he opens his eyes again.
"Jungkookie",
Taehyung tries to catch the younger's attention through their bond and the alpha stops grooming him.
"Yes, baby?",
he replies and Taehyung's rather happy, that they have the possibility to talk to each other in their shifted forms.
"I know, you're worried", he says and Jungkook rests his head on Taehyung's neck, "I'm here. We're in this together. Talk to me, yeah? What's wrong? Do you think, our decision's wrong?" Taehyung panics a bit at that thought. What if Jungkook wants to stop their journey? What if he isn't ready to lead a pack? Taehyung knows, it's a huge responsibility and Jungkook wasn't prepared to be a pack leader that soon. He's probably insecure, because nobody ever taught him all the important things, but Taehyung's sure, that Jungkook's able to do everything. He's brought out of his internal panic attack by Jungkook's voice.
"Pup, I'd never regret this decision", he tells him and Taehyung calms down immediately.
"Then, what's on your mind?", he asks and snuggles closer to his mate.
"It's... Tae, the journey's long. What if one of us doesn't make it? I'm responsible, I need to take care of them... I'm... I'm just afraid to be a disappointment... to disappoint them, you..."
He wants to tell Taehyung more, but the older interrupts him. "This isn't going to happen, Jungkookie. We trust you and I know, you can do everything. Everyone's here, because they want to follow you, because they trust you and want you to be their leader. You didn't force them, they're here because they want to."
"Yes, probably, but I have no experience how it is to be the lead alpha of a pack. My father was far from retiring and since my mom died, he refused to teach me anything",
the alpha growls softly and Taehyung snuggles even closer. "Time will teach you, Jungkook. You're probably going to make mistakes, but you'll learn from them. I bet, your dad was far from flawless at your age, but he didn't have to lead the pack at this time, right? So, stop comparing yourself to him. You're doing good right now",
it's probably not doing much to calm Jungkook down, but Taehyung can feel, that the younger's grateful for his words. He senses, how he calms down a bit and that makes him happy.
"Look, how carefree they can be. They don't have to hide anything, now that they decided to follow us", he tells Jungkook and the younger immediately knows, who he's talking about.
Hongjoong and Mingi weren't very appreciated in their pack, as an untraditional alpha-couple. Hongjoong's father even threatened to kill Mingi, if he didn't stay away from his son.
Jungkook never cared a lot about traditional couples. Both alphas are his friends since he can remember and he never denunciated them for falling in love with another member of their rank. But their families forced them to separate and that was probably their reason to follow Jungkook and Taehyung.
When Yunho confessed his feelings to Yeosang, not many hours passed, until the healer had spread the words about her two abnormal trainees. Jungkook's father told them to separate, because healers weren't supposed to fall in love and Yunho refused. The healer excluded him from her training, until Yeosang broke up with him, shedding tears and begging him to join the training again.
Many of Jungkook's friends went through a lot, while living under Jungwoo's command. Jungkook understands, why they follow him, but there's still the fear, that he's going to disappoint them.
He buries his snout in Taehyung's soft fur, when a twig next to them cracks and they both whince a little. Yoongi stands next to them, dark brown fur sparkling in the spring sun. Jungkook looks at his best friend.
"We're running out of supplies, Jungkook", he informs. He's able to communicate with Jungkook and the others through a pack bond, that formed years ago, "We should go on a hunt." Jungkook agrees. Then, he looks at Taehyung.
"I'll go with you",
the omega tells him and Jungkook sighs inwardly, but he agrees. For an omega, Taehyung's a rather good hunter and he's going to be great help.
"Jimin's coming, too", Yoongi says, "Namjoon volunteered to stay here with Yunho and Hoseok. And Seonghwa found a lot of scubs with edible berries. He and Yeosang are going to collect some."
"Okay", Jungkook and Taehyung get up on their paws and Taehyung watches, how Jimin shifts for a moment to hand his daughter over to Seokjin, who's already shifted fo a while.
Then, he looks back at Jungkook, who bumps his snout against Taehyung's, a small remider for him to be careful. Taehyung huffs, mildly annoyed, but he knows, that his mate's still worried.
They set off soon. Luckily, the neutral area is rather huge, so that they won't run into another pack's district during the hunt. Jungkook decides, that the hunting group's going to divide into two smaller groups and in the end, Taehyung goes with his mate, Yoongi, Jimin and San, while Sanggyun, Mingi, Hongjoong and Jongho build the second group. They separate and agree on being back at the creek around dusk.
Their small group follows Jungkook's lead through the forest, when they find a lonely deer, probably separated from it's herd and it clearly is their prey now, when Taehyung hears a faint noise, almost to quiet to recognize.
"I'll go to check something out", he tells Jungkook, Jimin's quick to join him. "Be careful", Jungkook tells him, before he follows Yoongi, who has his fangs already buried in the deer's neck. The wild animal manages to shake the alpha off and runs away. With a feral growl, Yoongi follows and San and Jungkook are right behind him. The poor deer isn't going to come out of this alive.
Taehyung and Jimin sneak through the coppice, Taehyung has his ears cocked, very attentively. Jimin's distracted by a rabbit and Taehyung doesn't notice, that he disappears into another direction, while he follows the tiny whimpers, that start to get louder, the closer he comes to a cliff.
Taehyung stops at the edge and looks down. He spots a small, beige pup, partly hidden by a bush, but he can definitely see, that its hind leg's abducted from its body in a morbid and direful way. He whimpers a little, when the pup tries to stand up, but breaks down immediately, because its leg doesn't carry its body. The pup whines pathetically. Taehyung can see, that it's weak and needs help. He starts running along the egde of the cliff, observing any possible ways down and when he found one, that seems to be the most safe, he starts climbing down.
The ground's moist from a heavy rain shower last night and the way down is steeply sloping and somehow, Taehyung isn't surprised, when some of the humid soil dissolves beneath his paw and he looses his balance. Soon, he falls down the cliff and emits a high-pitched, painful howl, when something sharp-edged digs into his back and cuts open the skin beneath his fur.
His fall ends at the foot of the cliff, close to the pup, who looks at him with wide, brown eyes. Taehyung groans and turns on his stomach. He smells blood and when he looks back, his usually white fur is soaked in a bright red color. The cut burns and stings, but he can't care less at the moment. He hoists himself up on his paws and stumbles over to the pup, who's eyes widen even more and it tries to retreat into the bush more, what's clearly painful. Taehyung stops. The pup stops, too. It sniffles, before its eyes shrink back into their normal size. It has probably noticed, that Taehyung's an omega and usually, omegas don't mean harm for pups. Instead of trying to escape, it now wants to come closer, to get comfort probably and whimpers, when it moves its hind legs.
Taehyung hurries to come closer and as soon as he has reached the pup, the small wolf rubs his tiny snout against his front leg. It clearly needs comfort and Taehyung lowers his head. The pup whimpers and tries to hide its head in Taehyung's fur. Internally, the omega swears to get himself and the pup out of this situation. He slowly rubs their snouts together, before he carefully sinks his fangs into the skin of the pup's neck. It whimpers in surprise, but quickly notices, that Taehyung's just trying to help.
It takes a lot of strength and it's very exhausting, but Taehyung manages to climb up the cliff with the pup in his mouth and when he reaches the top, he's dirty and bloody and immediately calls for Jungkook through their bond, before he falls to the ground and with his last strength, he curls his body protectively around the pup. He isn't passing out, but he needs a moment to re-collect his energy and when he hears the cracking of twigs, he lifts his head. Jungkook dashes through the coppice and he quickly reaches his mate. He smells the blood and lets out a low growl. The pup trembles against Taehyung's body and he nuzzles its nape to give it comfort.
"It's fine, I'm okay", he tells Jungkook, who paces around him, nervously, "It's just a cut, Jungkookie. But..." He lifts his head and reveals the pup to Jungkook. "We need to get it to Yunho and Yeosang. Its hind leg is broken and it needs help... immediately..."
"Can you walk, baby?", Jungkook asks, not really convinced, when Taehyung tells him: "Yes, I can." but the omega gets up on his paws with a growl. He wants to carry the pup, but after a bit of convincing it's Jungkook, who carries it. Their walk's arduous and it takes them a while, until they reach the pack.
Taehyung's very tired and exhausted and his back's still bleeding. He stumbles over his own paws and falls to the ground next to the creek, but he insists, that the pup gets treated first. Jungkook shifts into his human form and calls for Yunho and Yeosang, who hurry over. Yunho gives his attention to the pup, while Yeosang carefully inspects Taehyung's back.
"I can't see anything...",
the omega mumbles. Taehyung doesn't react. He watches how Yunho re-locates the pup's bones and fixes them with a wooden splint on each side.
"It's going to be fine again",
the alpha-healer mumbles, before he examines the pup more. He checks the heart rate and the general condition, before he turn to Taehyung, who's blue eyes are fixed on him. "She's a bit tiny for her age and a little malnourished, but that's nothing, we won't be able to fix, hm?",
he says with a soft smile, while Yeosang still tries to see the source of bleeding in between Taehyung's fur.
"Taehyung...",
the other omega tries to get his attention and Jungkook sighs, before he cards his fingers through the fur in his mate's neck.
"Baby...", he mumbles, while he comforts the older, "You have to shift. You're still bleeding and it isn't going to stop, when you stay like this. You need proper treatment...",
he mumbles and Taehyung tenses. He shakes his head frantically. He isn't going to shift, no way...
Until now, he tried to ingnore the pain, but it isn't possible any longer. He knows, that it's just reasonable to change into his human form to let Yeosang check on his injury and treat it properly, but Taehyung's sure, that shifting will hurt even more... Jungkook sighs and looks at the two healers.
"Can you give us a moment?",
he asks and they nod. Yunho takes the pup with him and when Taehyung growls, he tells him that he's going to feed her. Taehyung looks after them, while they walk away and he also sees, how the other alphas and Jimin return to the pack. It looks like the hunt was rather successful.
"Taehyung, pup",
Jungkook speaks up and the omega's attention is back on his mate. Jungkook's fingers are still in Taehyung's fur and he gently strokes the fiber, not caring how wet and soaked by blood it is now.
"I really need you to shift, love. You need treatment", he says, but Taehyung still shakes his head. "Hey, listen to me", Jungkook continues, "I'm with you, I'll never leave your side, but it's no longer just the two of us, Tae. We have responsibilities now." Taehyung huffs slightly, but he knows, that Jungkook's right.
"I'm afraid...", he tells him, "I might open up the cut even more, while shifting..."
"I'll talk to Yeosang about that",
Jungkook says and he calls the healer back. After a short explanation, Yeosang promises Taehyung, that shifting will be fine and that it isn't going to cause more harm, so, with a few more soothing words from his alpha, Taehyung finally shifts back into his human form. He cries out in agony and Jungkook cradles his body into his arms, after he's completely shifted, shields his nude form from the others' glances and rubs his nose over Taehyung's scent glad.
The omega's body shivers in pain, but after a while, he calms down again. He still trembles slightly, but Jungkook's scent soothes him and he looks up. He's still naked, but he feels, how Jungkook gestures towards a small blanket, they brought with them on their carriage and Yeosang hands it over. It's wrapped around the omega's lower body.
"I'm here...",
Jungkook murmurs and this time, it's Taehyung, who hides his face in the crook of his mate's neck. He feels, how warm blood runs over his back and the cut hurts. Taehyung whimpers and Yeosang sighs, while he bends over his back and inspects the cut.
"It's deep...",
he mumbles and then, rummages through his bag, pulls out two crucibles. He opens one of them and takes a cotton patch from the bag as well. Taehyung scrunches his nose, when the biting scent of vinegar hits his nostrils.
"Is this vinegar?", Jungkook asks, while he holds his mate in his arms and Yeosang hums.
"It's a solution, made of white vinegar and salt. It's cleaning, desinfecting and works in a hemostatic way, so it might burn, but it really helps", he tells the alpha and Jungkook takes a deep breath.
"Be strong, pup...", he mumbles into Taehyung's ear, who just presses his body closer to the younger. Jungkook watches, how Yeosang dips the cotton patch into the vinegar solution and gently pats it over the cut on Taehyung's back. It's a rather long wound and Yeosang's careful with dabbing the vinegar on it.
Taehyung whimpers, because it burns, but after a while, the healer takes the patch away. Then, he opens the second crucible and in there is a greenish, sticky paste.
"And... what's this?", Jungkook sounds that disgusted, that Taehyung turns his head and looks into the pod.
"Common plantain", Yeosang says casually, as if this explains everything, but he continues: "It's anti-inflammatory, analgesic and contains allantoin. Allantoin supports the skin's natural healing process and stimulates skin cell generation."
"It's really good to travel with a healer...", Taehyung mumbles into Jungook's neck and Yeosang chuckles, but he turns serious again.
"What happened?", he asks and that's something, Jungkook has been wondering about, as well.
Taehyung sighs, before he leans back slightly, so the omega healer's able to wind cotton bandages around his torso and he starts telling him and Jungkook, what happened.
"I found the pup, at the foot of a cliff and I thought, that I found a rather safe way to go down. But well, the soil was too moist and I fell. I don't exactly know, what cut open my back, but I think, it was a sharp-edged rock or something",
he mumbles, while he carefully turns around in Jungkook's lap and watches, how Yeosang heats up a metal pod of water over a small fireplace a few meters away from them. After a short while, he hands Taehyung a clay mug.
"What's this?", he omega asks and the healer grins a bit. "Tea from opium poppy", he says and Taehyung frowns.
"It's therapeutic, Tae. Eases the pain as well", the other explains more and Taehyung sighs.
"Stop complaining", Yeosang says with a wink, "You need to drink, because you lost a good amount of blood and it helps you relaxing. It's a win-win."
"I wasn't exactly planning to numb the pain that much", Taehyung mumbles, but he takes a sip from the hot tea and grimaces.
"Disgusting...", he grumbles and Yeosang laughs, then, he gets up, while Jungkook carefully wraps his arms around his mate.
"Rest for a while. I think, it would be for the best to stay here for a few days", Yeosang says, but it's more like a suggestion for Jungkook. The alpha remains silent, but he gives the omega a small nod.
"The pup?", Taehyung asks quietly and Yeosang looks at Yunho, a few meters away, who's holding the small wolf and feeds her. "She's still eating", he says.
"A girl, huh?", Taehyung mumbles and carefully leans back against Jungkook's chest, grimaces a bit, because it stings and takes another sip from the tea.
"At least, Yunho said so",
Yeosang smiles and then, he walks away. Taehyung bites his lower lip, while he watches, how Hoseok, Seonghwa and Jimin are busy with disemboweling the deer and the rabbits, they caught.
Taehyung isn't exactly sure, if Jungkook's mad at him.
"I'm sorry...", he mumbles and feels Jungkook's lips ghosting over his mating mark.
"Don't be... you just wanted to help someone in need", he mumbles and Taehyung hums.
"Aren't you mad?", he asks and Jungkook slowly shakes his head. "I'm worried... the wound looks nasty..."
"I'm strong, Jungkookie, I'll handle it. But... what about the pup?"
"We'll stay here for a few days now, so you'll be able to heal a bit and we let her stay with us..."
"Really?", Taehyung interrupts his mate, excited and Jungkook smiles a little.
"For now, yes, but... maybe, she just got lost, Tae and her parents are somewhere out there, looking for her. Just... be prepared, that they maybe come to find her."
Taehyung hums softly. "Yes", he mumbles, before he turns a little in Jungkook's lap, so he can look at him, "But... but she looked like she was out there for days already..."
"Pup, we take her with us, when nobody comes looking for her, until we leave, hm?", Jungkook presses a kiss to Taehyung's lips. The older nods.
"Thank you, Kookie",
he mumbles and his mate smiles. Then, a long, loud whimper catches Jungkook's and Taehyung's attention and they see, how the pup struggles in Yunho's hold. The small wolf looks in Taehyung's direction with wide eyes and Taehyung tries to stand up.
"Nah, baby...", Jungkook stops him. "B-but..."
"You'll get her, but get dressed first, hm?", the alpha says with a chuckle and Taehyung blushes a bit. Jungkook's right.
After he got dressed properly, he and his alpha walk over to Yunho, who carefully hands the pup over to Taehyung. She immediately snuggles into his arms.
"Instant connection, huh?", Jimin asks. He sits next to Yoongi at the bigger campfire. The sun is slowly setting.
"Are we staying?", Yoongi asks, when Jungkook sits down and the lead alpha nods.
"For a few days, yeah",
he replies and carefully wraps his arm around Taehyung's waist, who settles down next to him with the pup in his lap. The omega leans his head against his mate's shoulder and giggles, when the small wolf licks over the back of his hand. "Yeah, it's an instant connection", he mumbles, while he carefully caresses her beige fur.
They stay for three days and Teaehyung heals well. During those three days, he and Jungkook learn, that the pup's name is Eunji and that her parents left with her old pack. Eunji's very shy at first and only shifts in front of Taehyung, but she starts to open up to Jungkook as well after a short while. During the first and the second night, she sleeps snuggled into Taehyung's side, with Jungkook sitting next to them, wide awake to protect them.
In the third night, she and Taehyung are shifted again and Eunji sleeps in beween Taehyung and Jungkook.
Her leg heals well and she's growing stronger with each day and when Yunho finally allows to remove the wooden splints, she's more then happy.
It's the end of the third week of their journey, from time to time they're able to see the ocean from gaps between the trees and they all know, it's not that far until they reach their destination anymore and by now, Eunji's grown fond of each pack member. She's playing with the other pups, as if she had done nothing else before, sometimes, she even curls into a little, fluffy ball and snuggles into someone's lap, who isn't Taehyung or Jungkook. She's still the most attached to Taehyung and Jungkook, even a bit more to the omega.
The sun sets and the pack sits around another camp fire. Most pups are already asleep, next to their parents or in their laps. Kenta and Taehyung giggle softly about Kenta's youngst pup, Hayato, who started shifting a few days ago, but he isn't able to shift completely now. By now, he's laying in his father's lap, sleeping, with one human leg and one wolf paw and two fluffy wolf ears.
"It's cute", Kenta giggles and leans his head against Sanggyun's shoulder.
Taehyung smiles and looks at Jungkook. His mate's shifted, Eunji's resting by his side and her big, brown eyes are slowly falling shut. Taehyung smiles.
"It's like we're having a pup now as well", he mumbles, when Kenta gently tugs on his blonde strands of hair.
"She's your pup now, Tae",
he nods, when they all hear a crack from the scrubs and look into the direction. Taehyung feels a weight on his lap and looks down. He sees, how Eunji curls into a small ball and hides her head beneath his shirt. Jungkook obviously sent her over, because when Taehyung looks at his mate, he stands in front of everyone, close to the scrubs, ears pressed flat against his head. He growls lowly and soon, Namjoon and Yoongi are by his side in their shifted forms.
Everyone's tense, wolves as well as humans, when the cracking and shuffling in the scrubs turns louder and two wolves, one grey and one black one, stumble out of the bushes. They look messy, are clearly injured and one of them limps. The taller of them, the grey one, stops and looks at Jungkook, before it lays down on the ground and looks back at the scrubs. Jungkook sniffles. There are probably more wolves hiding and Jungkook growls, but he stays in his place. The two other wolves lay flat on the ground, first their heads are between their paws, until the grey one rolls on its side and bares its neck to Jungkook, clearly submissive.
The black wolf follows and soon, they're both laying submissive until Jungkook breaks out of his tense posture and walks over to them. He finds out, that they're two female alpha wolves and after a while of just staring at each other, both of them shift into their human forms.
They're bloodied and naked and now, it's Jungkook, who shifts and throws blankets over them.
"Thank you...", the grey-haired mumbles. Her eyes flicker back to the scrubs and Jungkook, who pulls up his pants and a shirt over his head.
"Is there someone else?", he asks and the black-haired nods. "Call them",
Jungkook says and with a relieved expression, they call for their companions and two adult wolves slowly step out of the bushes, one of them has creme-colored fur and the other's dark-brown. A grey and brown pup follows the darker one, big eyes even wider than usual and its tail drawn in between its hind legs.
After half an hour and a bit of convincing, they're sitting together around the campfire, the four girls dressed in linen clothes, the pack handed them.
Byulyi, the grey-haired, tells them, that their former pack got attacked and killed by rogue wolves and that the four of them, together with Yongsun's pup Yejun, were the only survivors. They escaped from the place of crime and are hiding and running for the last two weeks now.
Hwasa and Wheein are mates and Byulyi and Yongsun are just friends. Byulyi promised to protect Yongsun and Yejun, after the omega's former mate left their old pack. Jungkook isn't one to send them away and so, their pack grows.
Around a week later, they reach the shore of the ocean and all of them are relieved. Quickly, they start building huts, after Jungkook claimed an area as theirs. The alpha helps his pack members to build their huts and waits with building his and Taehyung's, until everyone else has their own.
He definitely puts his pack's well-being over his own. He and Taehyung sleep beneath the stars, with Eunji squeezed in between them. When rain pours from the sky, they quickly get invited to spend the night with their friends in their huts, until their own is finished.
During the building process, Jungkook's cusin Irene with her mate Wendy and four of their beta friends, Joy, Seulgi, BamBam and Yugyeom, join the pack, tired of travelling all the time and finally ready to settle down.
Their pack's probably not the biggest one, but they're able to fight for themselves if necessary.
It's one of the last warm days in between late summer and early autumn, when Eunji's already asleep, after she asked to have a sleepover with Wooyoung's and San's pups in their hut. Taehyung agreed with a smile and Jungkook took him to the beach.
Their own hut's finished for a few days now and it really is something totally different than sleeping underneath the stars. They still enjoy it, but having a bed, is quite nice too. Jungkook sits in the sand, Taehyung between his legs, with his back against the alpha's chest. Their fingers are intertwined and Jungkook smiles, when Taehyung presses a kiss to his knuckles.
"It's so beautiful here", he mumbles and the younger hums. "Yes", he replies and grins, when Taehyung lifts his head to the sky, rests it on Jungkook's shoulder. The nightsky is full of stars and the omega closes his eyes. "Jungkookie...", he starts and the alpha leans his head against Taehyung's. "Yes, pup?", he asks and Taehyung laughs softly, "It may sound weird, but... thanks for being rigid, when I wanted to give in to the elders' rules. Thank you for being persistent, when I couldn't be... and... thank you for not giving up on us..."
They haven't talked about the last days in their old pack, since they left, but those things are probably words, Taehyung had on his mind for a while now.
"Tae... you're everything for me... I couldn't let go so easily", Jungkook mumbles, while he buries his face in the crook of Taehyung's neck and nuzzles his nose over the claiming mark and Taehyung sighs.
"You're everything for me as well, but I was ready to give up on us... I was ready to let you mate someone else..." "You were ready to sacrifice your own happiness for mine, because you thought, it was the only reasonable solution. You did everything in your power to protect me, pup and I'll forever be grateful for this. But... you're my happiness and in the end, we're here and we're together. Please stop thinking about this, it's in the past", Jungkook interrupts him and Taehyung nods softly, before he turns around in Jungkook's lap, straddles his thighs and kisses his mate.
"I love you", he mumbles between two kisses and Jungkook smiles. "I love you, too", he replies softly, when Taehyung's lips ghost over his jaw and down to his neck. Jungkook chuckles and gently pats Taehyung's ass. "Let's go back", he suggests with a low voice and feels, how his mate shivers. "O-okay...", Taehyung gasps, when Jungkook squeezes the firm ass cheeks softly. Then, the omega gets up from his alpha's lap and Jungkook takes his hand in his, while they walk back to their hut slowly. They meet Byulyi and Yongsun on their way back, who confessed their feelings for each other a few days ago, but both couples just greet each other quickly and then, Jungkook and Taehyung reach their hut. Jungkook stops at the front door and pulls Taehyung into his arms.
"Baby, you smell especially good today... so intense...", he mumbles and Taehyung giggles. "You notice it every time...", he says with a small pout and yelps, when Jungkook hoists him up with grabbing his thighs and Taehyung wraps his legs around his mate's waist. "Your next heat's around the corner, huh?", Jungkook says, voice muffled into Taehyung's skin and the omega hums. He had been especially sensitive during the last days and he assumes, that he's already in pre-heat.
"Let me take care of you then, pup", the alpha says and opens the door to their hut. He carries Taehyung over the threshold and right into their bedroom.
He's quick to undress his mate and himself and leaves hickeys all over Taehyung's skin, while he roams his hands and lips over his body. The omega cries out in pleasure, when Jungkook sucks a dark mark over his left hipbone and he spreads his legs more. The next lovebite's left on his inner thigh and Jungkook sits up for a second. He looks at Taehyung's luscious, slick-covered thighs and in the next second, he pries the omega's legs open wider and buries his head in between his ass cheeks.
Jungkook's tongue teasinly glides over Taehyung's rim and a choked gasp leaves his lips, when the wet tip prods against the entrance. "Oh... my god...", he mewls, when Jungkook wriggles his tongue deeper inside and Taehyung's fingers card through his hair, tug at the black strands. His head's thrown back into the pillow and soft whimpers leave his throat, while Jungkook eats him out thoroughly. "It... oh god... feels so... good...", Taehyung gasps, while Jungkook moves his tongue along his sensitive walls and the omega moans loudly, when a huge hotness crashes down on his body.
"J-jungkook...", he cries out, when the alpha inserts a finger next to his tongue and Taehyung shivers violently. Their activities probably triggered his heat even more, because Taehyung's sure, it's fully there now. He isn't able to hold back anything anymore, because he's overly sensitive right now and when Jungkook enters a second finger and pushes it against Taehyung's prostate, he unexpectedly cums and paints his stomach white.
Jungkook pulls back slowly and smiles down at his panting mate, who tries hard ro regain his breath. "Wow, that was...", he starts, but gets interrupted by a slightly whiny Taehyung. "D-don't tease...", he mumbles, cheeks flushed in a pretty pink and Jungkook crawls over him.
"Alpha... please...", the omega pleads and Jungkook decides, that he isn't going to make him wait any longer. On top of that, Taehyung smells incredibly alluring and he has a hard time holding himself back. So, he aligns his cock with Taehyung's entrance and pushes in slowly. He buries his face in Taehyung's neck and gently nips on the biting mark, before he starts moving. Taehyung wraps his arms and legs around his mate, while he throws his head back. "More... alpha... more...", he begs and Jungkook groans softly into Taehyung's skin, before he speeds up. He lifts his head and seals the omega's lips with his, while he thrusts into him.
He swallows each moan, each whimper, that leaves Taehyung's mouth and the older shivers beneath him. "You're so sensitive, baby... so delicate...", he mumbles into Taehyung's mouth and the omega whines, while he wraps his arms tighter around Jungkook, who pounds into him with deep thrusts.
"And... you smell so good...", the alpha adds. Once again, Taehyung trembles. He's close, again and he arches his back, when the tip of Jungkook's cock grazes his prostate. "A-again... Kookie... again...", he whimpers, voice dripping with lust and the alpha follows. He hits the older's sweet spot repeatedly and it doesn't take long for Taehyung to cum a second time that night between their sweaty bodies. He presses his shivering body closer to Jungkook's, who continues to pounce into him, until Taehyung clenches around him vigorously and cries out in pure delight, when Jungkook's hips still completely against his ass. He's streched further by the younger's knot and a scalding heat fills him.
Jungkook subconciously presses his palms against the mattress, to not crush his omega's delicate body beneath his own weight, but Taehyung, who's still trying to catch his breath, has nothing of it and pulls the younger down on him.
He presses a kiss to the mark on Jungkook's neck and then, he snuggles even closer. "Love you...", he mumbles and closes his eyes, while Jungkook turns them around and lets Taehyung's exhausted body rest on top of his. "Love you too, pup. Rest a while", he tells him and Taehyung hums tiredly.
They both know, he's going to be awake and all aroused again in a few hours, when the next heatwave reaches its peak. Jungkook presses a kiss to his mate's temple and soothingly rubs his palm over Taehyung's back, while the omega drifts into a dreamless sleep. He needs it, because the next days are going to be a wild ride.
It's winter already and the days are short, when Taehyung approaches his mate, who's sitting at a table over a bunch of paper sheets. Pack business, he has to deal with. Eunji's playing outside with her friends, watched over by Seonghwa, Wendy and Wheein, so she's nothing, Taehyung has to worry about at the moment. He had been restless all day and now, he needs Jungkook's undivided attention. He silently watches the candle on the tabletop, flame flickering slightly, whenever Jungkook moves and after a while, Taehyung takes a deep breath.
"Kookie...", he starts and the alpha looks up. "Yes, pup?", he asks and reaches out his hand for the older. "I... I have to tell you something...", Taehyung says and Jungkook puts his pen away. "Have you been restless because of this all day?", he asks and Taehyung shrugs first, then, he nods and bites his lower lip. Jungkook frowns. "Okay, baby, I'm listening", he says, calm and Taehyung shakes his head. "L-let's go for a walk?", he asks and who's Jungkook, to deny him anything.
So, he nods and gets up from his chair.
After a few minutes, they're out in the wintery cold, wrapped into thick furs and Taehyung takes Jungkook's hand in his. He waves at Eunji, who smiles brightly, while she dodges a snow ball thrown by Yejun and soon, he and Jungkook are walking along the snow-covered beach. "What's on your mind, Tae?", the alpha asks, already a bit worried. He runs his thumb over the back of Taehyung's hand, until the older stops and turns to look at his mate.
"Jungkookie...", he says and Jungkook hums. "Something, wrong, baby? Do I have to punch someone? What happened?", he asks, concern clearly visible on his face, but Taehyung shakes his head. "No, no, you don't have to punch anyone", he smiles, "It's just... I'm not really sure, how to tell you, so I'm just saying it..."
He brings Jungkook's hand to his stomach and the younger's eyes widen. "Tae...", he starts, but Taehyung interrupts him: "Jungkook... I know, we already have Eunji and... I'm not sure, if you want more pups, but... woah~!" Now, it's Taehyung, who's interrupted by Jungkook, who wraps his arms around his mate's waist, lifts him up and spins him around. "Are you nuts, baby? Of course I want more pups with you. Are you...?", he asks and Taehyung laughs. He throws his head back and laughs, so beautifully and pure, Jungkook isn't able to stop staring at his gorgeous omega. When Taehyung looks back at Jungkook, he smiles his signature boxy smile.
"Yes, Jungkook, I'm pregnant."
