MATE

'SILLY TAEHYUNG '

'Hey hyung's! ' the alpha, Jungkook adressed them with a cheerful voice , raising his hands to wave at them.

'Jungkookie' jimin called , giggling when jungkook beamed with the endearment, bambi eyes laden with adoration directed at the beta.

Taehyung's fingers jerked by his sides, eyes narrowing and lips turning into a frown when jimin cackled on hearing  jungkook calling him 'Jiminishii'.

Jungkook's scent of coffee intensified, no wonder satisfied with jimin's reaction, taehyung's alpha nagging him to pull his mate close to him. His hands searched for jimin's fingers and grabbed onto them, his wolf calming down for a second when jimin squeezed his fingers back.

Jungkook and Jimin kept talking about dance practices and something taehyung found unimportant, focussed solely on observing the alpha infront of him.

Jungkook was two years younger than them, an alpha who has fine features ( but not handsome, taehyung would never call him that) who also appeared cute at the same time and judging by the way he carried himself, people would flock to him in numbers.

'Someone like him would make jimin happy' he thought .

Nope you are not having this conversation right now.

Taehyung could see how jungkook would be the kind of mate who would cater to jimin's every need, someone capable of loving Jimin the way he  deserves to be loved.

Taehyung observed how jungkook's  chest puffed out when jimin called him 'cute', causing jimin to slap him right on his pecks.

Taehyung's wolf was howling and clawing inside his chest, reproaching him of even thinking of letting his mate go. Taehyung hissed silently  in pain when his wolf clawed particularly hard, threatening to take over if he didn't act immediately.

Taehyung was so concentrated on controlling his wolf, that he was unaware of how his scent has turned sour prompting jimin to turn around with worried eyes, calling out to the alpha, who seemed to be in a daze.

Taehyung broke out of his reverie when he felt a warmth on his cheeks , finally conscious of jimin's fingers drawing circles on them, gentle hands cupping his jaw with utmost care.

When his vision finally cleared, he found out that they were in their living room couch, with no sight of the other alpha, jimin's face red with tears streaming down, eyes so full of concern for taehyung's welfare.

The brown orbs gazing at him tenderly held a lot of worry and sadness in them that for a moment taehyung thought jimin could feel his pain, his worries .....his fears.

Jimin scooted close to him and got on his knees to pull the other to his chest, taehyung embracing the betas waist to hide his face in the olders tummy. Jimin caressed his head letting out calming pheromones to pacify the alpha.

Once taehyung calmed down, jimin sat down on his legs, his hands still not leaving the alphas hair, running along them in soft motions.

' Taehyung, do you feel alright now?' jimin asked, his eyes shining with unshed tears, nose and cheeks tinged a light red.

Now that his wolf got lulled into a deep silence on sensing the considerable pain radiating off his mate, taehyung had enough time to ponder how lucky he was to have jimin by his side. The beta was anything but good to him that sometimes taehyung had to pinch himself to make sure that jimin was right beside him.

His love for jimin transcends any feeling he has ever known, his heart harbouring that love as a sacred gem.

Taehyung never wished for his feelings to be returned by jimin. He was okay with loving jimin from a distance, was ready to get hurt if someday jimin found someone else to love, because all it mattered to him was jimin's happiness and if not him, whoever does that will always be in taehyung's good side.

Because loving jimin was a promise to taehyung, a promise he wished to fullfill in this lifetime or maybe in the lifetimes to come.

Convincing his wolf is a hefty job but he's sure they will understand once they saw how happy jimin will be....with someone....someone not him.

His wolf made a ruckus a moment ago, just for thinking of letting his mate go without a fight. But now, as taehyung arrived at the decision to break his bond with his mate, his alpha had recoiled so deep within his chest, that taehyung can't help but tear up, fearing he might have lost his wolf for the worst.

Suddenly there were small hands cupping his face, fingers running through the apples of his cheek in frenzy, trying to catch the tears that rolled down, which seemed endless to him.

'Taehyung, please, I'm begging, stop hurting youself' jimin cried, his own eyes blurred and chest succumbing to the pain emanating from the younger.

With his hands still holding the alphas face, jimin moved forward to brush the tip of his reddened nose along taehyung's cheeks, placing the softest of pecks wherever his lips could reach.

Heavy breaths left taehyung's mouth, his heart constricting swiftly, lungs devoid of air, a silent gasp tore out of his mouth when he couldn't breath properly. His body began trembling, eyes loosing focus and when jimin began crying harder and desperately called his name, taehyung shaked his head and tried to get away from jimin's grasp.

No, jimin should not see him like this. Should never know how much of a mess he was .

But before he could will his body to flee from there, he was pulled forward, his head knocking against jimin's chest and before he knew it, his nose was pressed into jimin's neck, right over his scent gland.

Taehyung's senses rushed back to him in full force, his head filled with the thought of jimin and his scent only and when jimin fell back on the couch holding him, still cradling taehyung's head in his chest, the alpha was finally able to breathe properly, his lungs clearing while inhaling his mates sweet scent.

The both of them held each other tightly, afraid of being left alone,not knowing this was where they both belonged....in each others arms.
