Hidden Queen

8

With Yoongi's direction, the Alpha managed to build a decent nest, and based on Jimin's purrs, his Omega was happy. "I'll bring him food by in the morning and more IV fluids. Call me if you need anything."

Jungkook wished the Omega a good night, and he got the IV hooked up and situated so Jimin could get the much-needed nutrients. Then he crawled into the nest and held him as tightly as possible, trying to keep the tears at bay. The Alpha fell asleep, but it wasn't long before he drowned in the scent of rotting bananas. 

Jimin was thrashing back and forth, his mouth open wide in a silent scream; his entire body was covered in sweat as it shook like he was having a seizure. Jungkook was getting ready to scream for help when it stopped. Jimin went limp against the bed, and his breathing evened out. It took about an hour, and Jungkook scented him before his bananas returned to their sweetness.

The rest of the week went much the same: Yoongi would bring food and more meds, and Doc would come by at least once a day to ensure that the Omega was healing, at least physically, as it should. What concerned Jungkook the most were the nightmares; they didn't stop, and they got a lot worse. He was having several a day.

9 days after returning to the castle, Jimin woke up for the first time. The Omega's eyes snapped open. He was confused; where was he? The scent of Alpha was all over the place and while his Omega was calm, Jimin was not. The King finally did it; he gave him to another Alpha to get pupped. He heard a sound to his left, and an unknown Alpha was coming out of the bathroom, "Jimin," he yelled in surprise, his hands up to show he meant no harm, but that didn't matter to the Omega, who was freaking out. "Minnie, hey, you are okay, you are safe."

Safe, he hasn't been safe in longer than he can remember. Jimin, Minnie, why does that sound familiar? What about cotton? His Omega was practically purring inside; he wanted to shove his face into the pillow and roll around. But he couldn't; he was Ji-ah, the Queen. If he were found with another Alpha, he'd be killed. It didn't matter if his mate set this up, if anyone found out, he'd take the punishment and not the Alpha. That was the last thing he remembered before he blacked out.

Jungkook rushed to Jimin's side in a panic, sending a panicked text to Yoongi telling him to get the Doctor there now. When the Doctor rushed in, all Jungkook could do was sob out a help. "What happened?"

"He woke up, but I was in the bathroom."

"Well, that could be slightly traumatic, waking up in a strange Alpha's room."

The Alpha huffed, "I'm his soulmate."

"But does he know that? He may not remember you. Hell, he may not even remember himself. He's been abused Jungkook, mentally, psychologically, physically, and sexually. He might actually believe he's Queen Ji-ah; that's what has been beaten into him. Did you call him by his actual name by any chance?"

Jungkook nodded, "Yeah, I called him Jimin and Minnie."

"And how did he react to that?"

The Alpha made a face, "Not well. His scent went haywire, and then he blacked out again."

The Doctor nodded and hummed a bit, "You need to treat him like he's still Queen Ji-ah since that's who he believes he is."

"But it's not," the Alpha grumbled.

"I know Jungkook, but you'd do anything to improve him, right?"

"That's not even a question," Jungkook scoffed.

The Doctor stood up, saying, "Good. From now on, we'll address him as Your Majesty, Queen Ji-ah, and all of that."

"I will; you can trust me." With that, the Doctor left, and Jungkook crawled into the nest and wrapped his arms around his Omega. Jimin started purring as he nuzzled his nose into Jungkook's chest. "I promise I will help you find yourself again."

The Omega slept for a few hours. Jungkook tried to wait for him to wake so he could eat, but it was almost dinner time, and he missed breakfast and lunch. So he caved and called Yoongi to bring him some food. "I think it might be better if you stay with him. While my scent comforts him, it only does when he's asleep. When he's awake, I stress him out. Maybe having another Omega around would be better."

"If that's what you want, Kook, I'll do that."

Jimin stirred, the scent of oranges, an Omega. He peeked his eyes open, and there, standing in front of the Alpha from earlier, was a male Omega. Jimin was even more confused, the King hates male Omegas, that's wildly known. So why would he send him to an Alpha that already had one? Was that Omega even okay with sharing his Alpha with another Omega? Not that Jimin wanted to sleep with the Alpha, but he didn't want to upset the Omega if this was being forced onto him.

He saw the Omega place his hand on the Alpha's arm and squeeze, then they hugged. Before he even knew what was going on, Jimin's Omega was growling. It started low in his throat but steadily picked up in volume until the other two in the room looked at him with wide eyes. "Uhh, I'll just go. Yoongi, call me if you need anything." The Alpha started to leave, and Jimin's Omega whined, causing the Alpha to look confused at him.

"I don't think it's you he wants to leave. I think it's me."

Jungkook looked at Yoongi, "I freaked him out earlier, though look, he's still glaring."

"His Omega knows who you are, even if he doesn't. Watch," Yoongi walked closer to Jungkook and grabbed his hand; he turned it over and used it to rub their scent glands together on their wrist. The snarl that left Jimin was scary, considering how tiny and scared he looked. "His Omega is pissed that you now smell like another Omega."

"What do I do?" The Alpha whispered.

"Talk to him," Yoongi turned to look at Jimin and bowed, "Your Majesty, I'm going to go get you something to eat. I want to assure you that Jungkook and I are nothing more than friends. That line has never been crossed. You are safe here; the King is dead, and you are back in the South."

Jimin's entire body relaxed. "Queen Ji-ah, may I sit down?" Jungkook was trying to be respectful of his boundaries. The Alpha sat down on the chair closest to the bed, far enough away that he could give Jimin space but close enough that the Omega could still smell him. "Do you mind if I ask you some questions?" At Jimin's panic, he held his hands up. "You can just nod yes or no."

The Omega nodded, "Do you remember anything before when you lived in the South?" Jimin scrunched up his face a bit and then nodded. "Can you write down what you remember?" With another nod, Jungkook handed him a piece of paper. He wrote down Cookie, red, and cotton.

While the Alpha inside him was happy that all three things he could remember were of him, he was sad that Jimin hadn't made the connection. "That's good, Ji-ah. Do you remember your family?" Jimin shook his head and then wrote down, "Can I see them?" Jungkook deflated a bit. "When you were stolen, your parents didn't make it. They fought the men off to try and save you, but ultimately, it didn't work. I'm so sorry."

Jimin cocked his head to the side, he wanted to be sad that his family was gone, but he didn't remember them. What he's curious about is this Alpha; he feels safe around him, and he doesn't know why. Do I know you? He wrote it down before showing it to the Alpha.

Jungkook smiled, "we've known each other since we were children. I was four and you were six, you sat down in front of me and demanded we be friends. We were inseparable after that."
