The sun sat high up in the beautiful blue skies over Seoul casting a warm glow over it. From the windows of his car, the alpha looked on as people went about their day from the crowded sidewalks. Businesses opened and flowing with customers.
He leaned back on his seat, relaxing, finally feeling exhausted from overworking himself. Well it comes with being CEO and President of Jeon Group. He had really outdid himself this few months without break, time seemed blur when he was working, he sometimes forgot to eat or even take a break leaving his beta/P.A Yoongi to always drag him to eat or rest which he was very grateful.
He could even count the number of times he had slept in his penthouse the past weeks on one finger, yeah, he really buried himself in his work. Partly because his work has being very demanding lately, meetings on meetings, traveling from one country to the other, the other reason, one he refuses to acknowledge was the loneliness that gripped him whenever he enters his penthouse.
He beast whimpered at the thought, his chest suddenly tight. They longed for their mate, the other half of his soul, the one who would complete him, someone made just for him, one they wanted to love unconditionally and be loved just the same. Someone to care for and protect. He wished for that, craved it.
He's longed to have the kind of love his parents had. One his beta had also found in his mate not long ago when they had met the human on one business trip. The beautiful feeling he's being told about and witnessed among his pack. The same feeling he was gradually losing faith in.
He was past the age most found their mates 16-22yrs. So at twenty eight, he was beginning to doubt if there was someone out there for him. He heard his beast howled sadly inside him almost bringing him to tears.
The alpha closed his eyes hoping to catch a nap before they reach his pack which was outside the city, a good one hour forty five minutes. His appa had nagged the day before, warning to whoop his grown ass if he so much as be late for his birthday. There were a few times he's missed the day or be late because of his schedule but this time, his father was not having it, he had even made his beta to clear his schedule for two full weeks without his knowledge which he only found out after his call saying he needed a vacation (a forced vacation which he didn't need , not when he had a lot to do)
He had almost starting to drip off to sleep when he jolted up.
Shit
He realized he had not gotten a gift for his father . He could already hear his appa whining about not loving him. Over the years he's gifted him gifts from either his favorite luxury brand or a painting he made, this time he had none. He was definitely gonna get an earful.
With panic in his eyes the alpha looked out the window hoping to find a shop for a purchase cause they were almost out of the city.
He sensed his driver's eyes on him probably feeling the change in his scent from his panic but he gave no mind. Just by luck he spotted a shop up ahead.
"Stop in front of that shop" he instructed.
He got out of the car looking at the shop in front of him. The small shop looked cozy and homey. A feeling of calm immediately washed over him. Lining the window are beautiful ceramic works of plates and cups with beautiful designs.
Looking through the transparent door he saw only few people in, some by the cashier and others walking around with their carts.
The doorbell rang as he entered but he was not prepared for the strong scent that hit him making him to almost loose his balance. He beast perked up in his mind suddenly on high alert.
He was surrounded by different scents all at once but one stood out making him and his wolf restless.
gardenia
The sweet flowery scent hit him square in the face. Calming, inviting and all so beautiful scent. He tugged his nose in the air searching for where the intoxicating scent came from. He felt a couple of eyes on him but paid no heed, he was used to the attention, he focused on his task.
Just before he rounded a shelf, an angelic giggle hit his ears. The sound was like music to his ears. He found himself facing the back of two people by a shelf. The beautiful scent radiating from the male in an all black fit on his left who stood with an elderly woman.
Mate
Mate
MateJungkook registered the words.
He's found him. He finally found him. His mate. His mate stood right in front of him.
His wolf jumped around in his mind howling so loud. His heart was beating so fast he was sure everyone could hear it. He stood frozen in his step as he stared ahead.
"Am telling you son, that man-child keeps breaking his mugs somehow"
"Hahaha how about I design a metal piece just for him huh?"
Jungkook found himself smiling along him though he knew nothing about the conversation, his laugh was that addictive.
The air was knocked out of his lungs when his mate turned to him.
Good goddess
Before him stood the most stunningly gorgeous male he had ever seen. With the most captivating black orbs he had seen, framed by beautiful lashes, down to delicate small nose to the softest plumpest lips ever, all framed by cute face with beautiful sharp jawline, a mop of shiny black hair with unusual streak of white,he mate was just.... ethereal.
The moment their gazes locked, Jungkook knew was a goner. He noticed how his mate also seemed to have frozen along with him.
