PARCHED (Jikook FF)

31. Want

'Your shadow on the back of my hand
Overlaps on my heart'

"Alpha Jeon. We need to talk this out. You see this situation isn't really favourable for the both parties.", Lisa said controlling her voice.

She was already irritated that she had to treat this rogue alpha like some important person. And hadn't been exactly a guest for 2-3 days as Lisa had predicted. She had predicted that he would leave once she would make a deal with him. After all he was a rogue. Rogues don't stay.

First, they don't belong.

Anywhere.

But that may have been her biggest misunderstanding. He was still here and was sitting amongst them. The royals. Like a proud wolf. Head held high. And she hated his guts.

"I don't see anything unfavorable. We are totally comfortable with these conditions.", Jungkook spoke nonchalantly. And Lisa tried to held her composure. She fisted her hand that was resting on the armrest of her heavy jaded throne.

"May I?", Jinyoung asked and recieved a nod from Lisa to continue.

"Alpha Jeon, you see, because the barrage you have been trying to build over Nakdong river, it would bring more than a lot of havoc in Busan. The river is our sole provider and not to mention, our sacred deity. It would bring great chaos in the town.", Jinyoung said. And Jungkook just chuckled while adjusting in his seat. The heavy but comfortable seats, he will never get used to them.

"The chaos or whatever happens to Busan is not my concern. I am building the barrage on my field. It is whole my decision, what I will do in my part of the land."

"But you are engaging with Nosan. We can't trust them to not pull any tricks against Busan—", Jinyoung tried to convince while Lisa was watching with slowly building anger. Her father was still warily looking at Jungkook. More like observing him.

"I still don't see how that's my concern. Nosan and your relations have nothing to do with me..."

"Alpha Jeon!!", Finally Lisa snapped. Her Musk scent starting to get sour and intense. The scent started to become heavy and intimidating that almost everyone in court started squirming. The Alphas along with Minho and Hwasa were scrunching their noses to block out the scent. While the betas were clutching their hands on mouth. But Jungkook sat still. He wasn't even bothered by the growing bitter musk in air. And that made Lisa even more angry.

"You are doing this on purpose so we can feel need to get to your feet!! You are playing very dirty. But let me tell you, that will happen only in your dreams. There's no way I will bow down to you for any help. And about Nakdong, that's our sacred river which you're trying to taint. The deity will be enraged and bring the bad luck on your whole pack!!!", Lisa seethed in anger.

Jungkook stood up silently. His glance roamed over the whole court before settling over the raging female Alpha. His vetiver scent now even more prominent, establishing it's pure dominance.

And without any word, the whole court obediently stood up, along with Lisa herself. Every courtier had their head bowed and no one could understand, how that rogue dominated everyone so easily...

Lisa's eyes widened at the quiet submissive behaviour everyone showed towards this rogue unconsciously. She was enraged but her body refused to even move as the pure blood Alpha bore his eyes in her skill making a chill run down her spine.

"You have long tongue Alpha Lisa, with no barriers. If you have established that much then let me also tell you one thing about me...", Jungkook's voice was octave lower complimenting his dark eyes.

"I get what I want. And no one can change that. Not you nor your deity...", He said and started walking towards the exit with Hwasa and Minho following him by sides as usual. But then he halted in his steps. And turned around. Everyone was still standing in the same position. Just Lisa had her glare sharpened on him.

"I was here for whole Busan. And I will take it... Do not even try to threaten me with your pathetic scent. Dream on with ever intimidating me. You couldn't even intimidate your Omega yet...."

"Do you know? I heard that the court was really heated today...", Jisoo gossiped while making the bed. She arranged the silk neatly and looked at Beomgyu who was working with the candles.

"What about?", He asked curiously without taking his eyes away from the candles he was arranging. Since Jimin was practically 'scentless', it was Lisa's orders to use scented candles. Although Jimin never liked rose scent, he never complained or simply never voiced out his opinions.

"The rogue pack leader has visited and the issue is very big this time. Rina told me that she was at the court for serving. While she was there, whatever she heard, she told me. I wonder when they will leave. These rogues!! We can't live peacefully if they are even around. I mean they are not even meant to be around—", Jisoo kept rambling. But Beomgyu was distracted.

All he could think of, if the rogue pack leader was here, then Hwasa must be too. But then he felt pathetic for thinking about his captor. But he wanted to meet her... At least to thank her, for taking care of him...

Arghh...

This was frustrating.

He just stood up and turned to leave. But Jisoo stopped him.

"Where are you going? Luna, will be done with the bath. We need to tend her.", She said but Beomgyu was almost out of the door.

"I will be back..."

Jimin relaxed his muscles in a long bath.

Last two days have been a little weird. Ever since he had played the trick on that nasty savage alpha, he just couldn't stop thinking about him.

And his Omega...

His Omega just couldn't stop whining. He felt really restless all the time. Like, he wanted to... No he needed to see that savage. On top of that, one part of him was worried too to that Lisa had ordered to find that alpha.

He found himself praying to the Goddess to not make it happen.

It was crazy how weird he was acting. He wanted to scold his Omega but at the same time, he wanted whine too...

He closed his eyes when he felt that he was stinking up the bath by his bitter pheromones. He needed to relax... And stop thinking about that Alpha!!

"Thinking about me, little Luna?"
