Bounded

Chapter 27

Long chapter ahead💜.

The tongue that was gliding over his wound felt like caressing the veins of his heart. It felt like someone was unfolding the pain of his heart and sucking it out of his soul. With each drift of that tongue, Jungkook finds himself melting a little more.

It wasn't because of his close proximity with his Alpha or it wasn't because of the addicting scent of his mate but it was because of the concern that his Alpha showed towards his wound. For Jungkook that only implied one meaning and that is...his Alpha cares.

He matters to someone. Finally.

Jungkook exhales deeply just to inhale back the astonishingly sweet sandalwood scent. His nose travelled to a little left before hovering over the exposed tilt of his Alpha's neck. His heart was thundering at this point and he knew his Alpha could feel it too.

Once that scent reaches his core, his all senses start flooding with dizziness again.

However, the tip of his nose didn't touch his Alpha's neck, too afraid to approach his Alpha this intimately. But he let that scent clouded his mind upto the brim, didn't want to lose this chance. He doesn't know when he turned into a greedy pup?

He closed his eyes momentarily and lost himself in the strong arms of the Royal Alpha.

When the tongue stopped doing its work, Jungkook found himself pulling away slightly. His wolf let out a whimper of disappointment but for Jungkook's relief, it was only for his ears.

He opened his eyes slowly, very slowly. He doesn't know why he was feeling suddenly this nervous to look into his Alpha's eyes. But Jungkook can't help his submissive instincts.

He looked up, his breath falling over the Alpha's chin. Those grey orbs were starting right back at him, Jungkook ducked his head down again in shyness, suddenly feeling bare without his veil.

"You have a sprained ankle." The Royal Alpha stated.

The voice was monotone, devoid of any emotions but that voice vibrated in Jungkook's bones, he could feel. But how did his Alpha know about his ankle injury? How foolish he is, maybe that's why his Alpha is still hoisting him in his arms.

He parted his lips to reply with eyes still cast down. But nothing came out, just like always his tongue was tied. He looked up in misery, trying to convey his answer with his eyes.

Yoongi had always said to him that he is like an open book, everyone can see through his emotions if they try with the least amount of attention. His eyes conveyed the answer and his heart skipped several beats when in response his Alpha raised him a little more into his chest, holding softly.

"We are going back." The Royal Alpha announced before taking steps back towards the shore of the river. Climbing from one stone to another, the Alpha reached towards the coast easily.

Jungkook dipped his neck over Taehyung's, his hands clutching a big portion of his Alpha's wide shoulders when the Royal Alpha started surging over the cliff.

Once again, Jungkook was left speechless. His Alpha was climbing the cliff like he doesn't have any weight in his arms, like he was holding a piece of feather instead of a human body, like he was walking over a smooth road instead of uneven rough rocks.

Both of them reached the pack grounds and suddenly a tinge of awareness fell over Jungkook. He looked around him in perception but to his relief, no one was there, but that doesn't mean no one could see them sooner or later.

He looked up to his Alpha in attention who was walking towards the main packhouse with sheer his usual calm features. He bit his lips in nervousness but decided to voice out his thoughts.
