Jungkook pov

He frowned. "You know nothing of your wolf father?"

"Is this another chance to remind me that I'm a bastard? That my father never married my mother and ditched her when she was pregnant?"

Hmm. Perhaps he'd gone too far with that.

He shouldn't care if he'd hurt Jimin's feelings.

A king had a duty to speak his mind.

And yet...he suddenly felt bad about it.

Being born out of wedlock no longer held the stigma it once did.

Not among humans, at least. Wolves were different. But being an omega?

Being half-human? Those were flaws.

Mating this wolf might stave off the doom of Jungkook's family line, but it would have repercussions with the other noble wolves who believed in firm dividing lines between the high born and lowborn.

Jungkook met the omega's gaze.

"According to the Seer, you are the last of the park bloodline."

"They were a royal heritage, a house of noble lineage, with the blood of kings in their veins."

That got the omega's attention.

"You're saying my father was a high born wolf and not a total deadbeat?"

"He can be both at the same time,"

jungkook said wryly. "I assume your wolf father is dead if you are the last of the park line."

"I don't know..."

"It doesn't matter. You are the only one who can stop the prophecy becos you are an omega. I'm taking a risk by even telling you this much."

"I don't have the luxury of time. The prophecy claims my family's dynasty will fall and we're running out of time."

"If the prophecy is true. It could be like voodoo magic. Only working if you believe in it."

"I saw that on a show once."

"You're right. If it's true. I'm not a believer but I'm not willing to risk myself or, worse, my sister, by defying it either."

"I'm entrusted with the line of succession. It is my duty. One I cannot escape."

"So you need me."

He gritted his teeth and nodded again.

It might've been a mistake to hand this omega so much leverage.

Now who was the fool?

"But you only want to knock me up and take my kid. Is that right?"

"A crude way to put it. But basically, yes. You only have to carry my heir for me since you can't conceive of marrying me. You will be a rich man afterward."

"So you're using the fact that I'm poor against me."

"Must everything be an argument with you? You're the most vexing wolf I've ever met."

He'd definitely expected more submission.

Why was an omega wolf giving him more grief than the nobles? Jimin was even worse than Jungkook's sister.

Was it simply because Jimin had all the leverage here?

Part of him even admired the omega a little for being so ruthless.

Those gorgeous green eyes sure seemed wide, trusting, and innocent, but the omega was no pushover.

Not by a long shot.
