Alpha King's Mate

3.

You were shocked at the sight in front of you. A guy was smiling your way showing you his perfectly sculpted face.

You: (Low whisper to yourself) Another handsome man? How are all the guys here, so freaking handsome? This one is super cute as well. What a pretty smile he has. Maybe if I eat the food from here, even I would turn beautiful.

Wolves have very sensitive hearing, so they can hear low whispers clearly.

???: You already are very beautiful.

You in your mind: Dang...!! Did I say that out loud? I thought I was whispering lowly.

Jungkook immediately mind-linked him about you and how to behave around you. Then you saw his eyes widening in horror, but then he gained his composure and spoke again.

???: I meant, you are already so beautiful, so why do you have to stare at me like, I am the only one who looks good around here?

You: Oh... haha... I mean, whoever I met here, look one better than the other. I was just thinking what do you guys eat to get that kind of looks...

???: So, I guessed it right. You had kind of doubted your looks. So I can assure you that you are very beautiful. But you need to eat well, so you can keep it up.

You: Yes. I am hungry. Where did Taehyung go?

???: He went to inform King about everyone having food. Our king likes to see his people happy and content. And I am Jimin by the way.

You: Oh. Pleasure meeting you, Jimin. I had just seen the king once, that too for a bit, when he had come to check on me, but didn't get to talk to him. I'm not sure, if he talks to his people.

Jimin: I bet he would love to talk to you.

You again whispering: Is the king a pervert by any chance...I better stay away from him then.

Noticing the change in your facial expressions, he spoke again.

Jimin: You were the one who were attacked by that wolf, so he would love to check on your health by himself. He doesn't like it when any of his people are hurt or in pain. May be earlier you were not a part of his territory, but the moment you set foot on his grounds, you became a part of his people and he needs everyone to be safe and happy.

You: Oh, I get it. Can I get an appointment to see him?

Jimin: What? Appointment??

You: Like how does it work here? How do I get to meet the king?

Jimin: You can meet him anytime when he is at the rounds.

You: Rounds?

Jimin: He takes round in the morning and late evenings every day to check the working of the palace. That is when he saw you yesterday, when he was at his rounds. You can see him tomorrow morning.

You: That's good. I can thank him personally then.

Jimin: Yes. Sure.

After you finished with your dinner and bid goodbyes to everyone, Jimin escorted you to a room.

You: What is this place?

Jimin: The king wanted you to see the doctor to check on your health. This is his check-up room. After your check-up, it will be decided if you need to be taken to the care beds in the care chamber or given a normal room like the others.

You: Care beds? Care chamber? What do you mean?

Jimin: We have a chamber where the injured are cared for and revitalized back to good health. We call it the care chamber and so the beds there are called, care beds.
