Jungkook pov

Besides, he had more important things on his mind.

Like bending this omega to his will.

The man would admit to wanting Jungkook. He would be jungkook's mate if Jungkook so desired it.

No one refused the king. This omega needed to understand a few facts.

After he submitted, Jungkook would begin playing the gracious host once more, and all would be right with the world.

"You live in my territory. All wolves in my kingdom are my subjects."

Jungkook waved a hand, dismissing any of Jimin's potential objections.

"Don't worry. I won't take you against your will."

"Let us be very clear about that."

"Well, that's a relief," Jimin said with the dry bite of cynicism.

Jungkook ignored the omega's sharp tone. Showing restraint was rather magnanimous of a king.

He took another deep breath to make sure he was under control. He stood and walked to the fireplace, clasping his hands behind his back, staring at the flames.

He suspected the omega would be impressed by how good he looked in the firelight.

It never hurt to present a dramatic, striking image to your subjects.

Especially if they were causing you grief.

"Listen," he said, his tone demanding Jimin's full attention, although he didn't take his eyes off the flames.

"I can make this worth your while. Do you want a noble title? I can grant you land. A noble seal and coat of arms. You'd never bear the shame of being a bastard again. You could be the first of House park."

"You keep calling me that. A bastard. As if I'm ashamed that my father did not marry my mother or even stick around." Jimin didn't sound upset or offended.

Mostly he sounded a little amused and a little confused by it. "With all due respect, Your Highness. You need to get with the times."

It was hard to shame someone who refused to feel shame.

Then again, Jimin lived among the humans instead of with a wolf pack.

So his thinking was more human than wolf. Corrupted. Tainted. Foreign.

Why did he want to bed this wolf again?

Because he was the last of the park line? Because some damned prophecy foretold that his family's dynasty would fail if he didn't?

Jungkook was having serious doubts about everything since stepping off the plane yesterday.

He didn't believe he'd ever had a plan go so sour. He didn't believe he'd ever had anyone reject him.

"You're throwing my generous offer back in my teeth?" he asked quietly, dangerously.

Jimin paled. Either Jungkook's tone or his scent had tipped off the omega that he was tiptoeing a fine line.

Jungkook had to give the omega one thing, however Jimin was brave.

Stupidly brave. Omegas were the weakest, most submissive wolves.

Everyone knew that. But this omega had obviously been corrupted by his human mother.

Now he had some spine. Jungkook was forced to respect that.

"All you've said is that you want to breed with me," Jimin said carefully.

"I have no idea why. I mean, thank you, I'm honored, but you haven't even bought me dinner first."
