The Beta's Secrets (Taekook)

Chapter 9: Heat

When Taehyung had fallen asleep after Jungkook marked him, Jungkook had carried him out of the water. Jungkook  then laid down under a tree with Taehyung in his chest. They were still in their boxers. Jungkook watches his mate as he sleeps and he made sure Taehyung was comfortable in his embrace.

Jungkook's gaze fell on the mark on Taehyung's neck and suddenly a ball of emotions hit him like a truck.

His heart races and his breathing accelerated. He was having an intense feelings of euphoria. He was so much in love with Taehyung.

Then remembering everything that had happened to Taehyung, Jungkook also felt possessiveness, jealousy and separation anxiety. And most importantly he felt a powerful sense of empathy toward Taehyung, the way he had suffered all his life, being on the run all the time and those people trying to mate with him for their own benefits. Jungkook was feeling so much pain and it was not his, it was Taehyung's pain, the pain he felt in the past. Jungkook was willing to sacrifice anything for his mate if he could make all that pain and suffering go away.

"I am so much in love with you Taehyung." Jungkook stated while his eyes filled up with tears.

He kissed on Taehyung's forehead and traces his fingers from Taehyung's neck down to his arm looking adoringly at his mate's sleeping face while feeling the lingering sparks in his fingers.

Jungkook was also feeling a strong sexual desire for Taehyung. He was a strong dominant alpha with strong sexual drive, but he had been controlling himself as Taehyung was not ready. And now after the marking and with all the emotions he was feeling right then, he wanted to complete the mating. His sexual drive was on the peak.

About an hour later, Jungkook had also fallen asleep.

Jungkook opened his eyes when he heard foot steps. They were still by the lake and the sun had already set. Jungkook looked around before looking down to his mate. Taehyung was still in deep slumber.

"Taehyung! Wake up." Jungkook tried to wake Taehyung, but Taehyung didn't budge.

"There you are." Jungkook snapped his head and narrowed his eyes towards the voice. He saw Kai and two other men.

"Alpha has sent us here to come look for you two." Kai informed.

"It's not safe here as there are few other packs around." Another man added.

The men looked at Jungkook and then to Taehyung who was still asleep in Jungkook's arms. Normally Taehyung would be wide awake hearing the slightest of sound but at that moment he was not moving even the slightest.

Because of the marking, Taehyung's body was undergoing a change as Jungkook's hormones were working inside his body. It was one of the reasons why Hakkun tried to mark him so Taehyung can bear his child.

Once their gaze fell on Taehyung, the men kept staring at Taehyung. They flared their noses in the air and smirked. Jungkook snarled and glared at the men while trying to cover Taehyung's body as much as possible.

"Can you leave us first?" Jungkook asked bitterly as those men didn't bother to give them any privacy. They nodded and left the two mates alone again. Those men were not so bothered by nakedness but it wasn't the same for Jungkook and Taehyung as they grew up in the city with the humans.

"Taehyung! Baby!" Jungkook softly called as he brushes Taehyung's hair.

"Hmm?"

"Come on wake up." Taehyung slightly moved but didn't open his eyes.

"Are you okay? You seem so tired." Jungkook asked.

"I am okay." Taehyung answered slowly opening his eyes and looked up at Jungkook who was looking down at him worriedly.
