Birds of a Feather

Chapter 24

BTS is giving a press interview after their numerous wins of the night when all eyes turn towards the door. The Big Bang pack is walking in, only three of their members present and their omega. The journalists quickly start snapping pictures of the group as they move towards the stage.

There is tension flowing of T.O.P. in waves that reminds everyone why he's considered one of the more fearsome pack alphas in the industry. The entire room waits with bated breath to see just what the clashing of these two packs will cause.

T.O.P. walks up on stage and whispers something into Namjoon's ear, so low that none of the microphones are able to pick it up. The group leader's eyes widen considerably as he turns from the alpha in front of him to the rest of his pack. His gaze sweeps across the reporters in front of him, and his expression turns even more panicked.

T.O.P. places a hand on his shoulder, giving a slight nod before pushing the beta away from the stage. The rest of the BTS pack rushes after their leader and out into a hallway. The Big Bang pack takes the podium and T.O.P. clears his throat. He grimaces slightly, their pack omega, Jiho, grabbing his hand tightly in support, as their two pack betas flank them. He knows that the information he's about to share is going to rock the world of the kpop industry. His gaze lowers to their pack omega, the center of his pack's entire universe. She had done so much for them over the years and survived so many things too. He kisses the back of Jiho's hand, ignoring the flashes of cameras that bounce across the room. They'd almost lost her tonight if it weren't for the other omega. Cas, his mind reminds him. She has a name and after what she did, she deserves to be called by it.

He takes a deep breath before looking at the crowd, all with pens and microphones poised, "The Bangtan Pack was called away for an emergency. We will be taking over the rest of this interview. I will explain as much as I can. Another press conference will be scheduled for later this week after things have been settled. There will be no questions answered at this time."

He waits to make sure this sinks in for the group, "Tonight our pack omega was attacked by our ex-pack member. He was somehow able to gain access to the back area of the venue and had managed to get her alone. It is believed that his intentions were to drug her to force a bond onto her, thus forcing us to accept him back into the pack for her well-being."

Murmurs start to fill the room, but he continues with his speech, "Thankfully another omega intervened and was able to pull her out of the way. In the process she was drugged and is currently dealing with the effects this drug has on those with an omega presentation. She has been brought to another location for safe keeping until the drug is purged from her system."

T.O.P. takes a deep breath, pulling Jiho closer to him, "We are forever in this omega's debt. We will personally vouch for her integrity and are placing her under our pack's protection. We almost lost the most precious member of our pack. She could have simply walked away and ignored what was happening. Instead, she acted, and we will be forever grateful."

He takes another breath, letting it out slowly, "This omega's name is Cas Smith, and she is the Bangtan pack's platonic omega."

The room breaks into chaos, numerous reporters jumping up to try to ask questions, but the Big Bang pack ignores them, moving out the door as security covers their back. Jiyoung said he would meet them back at the hotel room once he was released from guard duty. They'd done what they could to start the ball rolling to support her, hopefully the planned press conference later on would be enough to stop the media shitstorm this announcement caused.

The Big Bang pack had arranged for the car that took Jiyoung to Cas's desired location to come back and take BTS there as well. They'd been waved through security so quickly that they honestly hadn't even realized there was any in place. The group of 7 were in the elevator when their phones started pinging like crazy.
