Royal | Jeongcheol

🥀

Seungcheol found himself wanting to lean closer to the younger prince and get to inhale his scent more, but he realized what he was thinking and immediately snapped out of it.

He gently held the omega's hand that was on his chest and removed it before clearing his throat and speaking "How about we sit down and discuss the letter you sent?" the prince was quick to take the hint and backed away, pointing at the couch for his guests to sit on.

"Let's properly introduce ourselves before starting. I'm prince Yoon Jeonghan, heir to the throne. I'm 26 years old, and this is my personal servant and very close friend, Hong Jisoo. Same age as me" the omega prince introduced himself and his servant before smiling at Seungcheol and signing for him to start.

"Well, I'm Choi Seungcheol, head of the army. Also 26 years old. This is my mother, Son Hyunji, whom I care about a lot and will not accept the offer unless I know my mother will be safe and close to me" Seungcheol spoke and pulled his mother closer to him.

The mother only looked down, a bit embarrassed of how protective her son was acting in front of the heir to the throne.

Jeonghan smiled gently at her and slightly bowed his head at her in respect before looking at the man that saved his life. "She can live with us here in the castle. We would be more than happy to have her here! I heard you're a great baker, maybe we could give you full permission to the castle's kitchen"

Hyunji didn't want to show how excited she was but she failed to stop the smile from creeping up to her face as she looked at her son, eyes searching for his reaction.

"So what do you think, Seungcheol?"

Seungcheol took a moment to think about the idea of mating with the heir to the throne. First, he would have a beautiful mate for life. Getting mated to an omega also means he would be able to have pups of his own.

Would also mean he'll give the pups a good life in a castle as princes or princesses. His mother wouldn't be downgraded by the people of the village because her mate died and would be able to finally live a comfortable life doing what she loves, baking.

But it would also mean he'll have more responsibilities on his shoulders. He's the head of the army, which means he might not be able to spend enough time with his mate and pups, and that could cause unsatisfactory to his mate.

And obviously, as an alpha, his pride would be hurt by not being able to satisfy his omega's needs along with his family.

Will he be able to handle the pressure of this mating? Will this be the correct decision for him to make?

Seungcheol took a deep breath and a look of determination appeared on his face. He'll do it. After all, everything happens for a reason, and this might be the best thing he'll do in his life,

"Okay, let's do it. Let's mate" the alpha answered and Jeonghan couldn't help but smile brightly.

"Great! The mating ceremony will be in a month. I'll get my workers to bring your stuff from home and transfer them here. Jisoo please show Miss Hyunji where she'll be staying, while I and my soon-to-be mate go surprise father with this amazing news!"

Jeonghan stood up excitedly and Jisoo smiled to himself at the sight before turning to the mother of the solider and signing her to come with him, leaving the alpha and the omega alone.

Jeonghan found himself calming down when he turned around and saw the man who wore a suit that hugged his body perfectly, standing up too.

"Would you like to go now and meet my father or wait until your mother comes back?" the omega said, feeling suddenly shy about being in the presence of the alpha alone.

The sight of Jeonghan fiddling with his fingers slightly made the alpha in Seungcheol stand up straight in pride, which was weird since he never felt like that toward an omega before.

"We can go now if want, prince" shivers down the omega's spine hearing the other's deeper voice, and he wanted to jump at the alpha and ask him to mark him right then and there, but he decided to hold back and keep that for the ceremony night.

"You can just call me Jeonghan" he muttered under his breath and the older heard it clearly, nodding at him and telling him to lead the way.

As the two were walking in the hallway to make their way to the big library, Seungcheol couldn't help but notice the size difference between him and Jeonghan.

Jeonghan was a bit shorter and skinnier. He had a very petite body, along with a slim waist that made him look ten times more heavenly.

Meanwhile, Seungcheol was the total opposite. He had broad shoulders, thick thighs, and big arms. He was very bulky too.

Walking next to the prince, the head of the army felt powerful. He felt confident for some reason. Pride rumbled in his chest as the two walked alongside each other.

Is this what it feels like to have a mate? Seungcheol wondered, but his thoughts were cut off as the two arrived at the big library.

"Woah.."

A very big door was ahead of them.

Really strong alpha pheromones as well, intimidating the alpha a bit.

Seungcheol knew that the king's pheromones would be very strong, but he didn't think they would be this strong.

Taking a deep breath, Seungcheol straightened his back.

"I can do this"
