Hidden Queen

35

Thankfully their friends had been warned, they didn't say anything but Jin snorted before trying to cover it with a cough. Joon wouldn't come anywhere near Jimin and Yoongi kept wrinkling his nose. Hobi and Tae were the only ones that would even come close to the mated pair. "Do we smell that bad?" Jimin whispered to Tae.

The Beta shrugged a bit, "not to me you don't. But I don't have Alpha/Omega nose like they do. I can smell you and while it's strong, it's not enough to bother me." He leaned a bit closer, "but based on the way those three are acting you must absolutely reek." He started to cackle at Jimin indignant squawk as the tiny Omega was smacking him over and over. "Yah why are you being so mean to your soulmate?"

"You," smack, "are not," another smack, "my soulmate," slap to the head. By the time he was done he was out of breath, "Alpha," he whined before he launched himself into Jk's lap making the Alpha even smugger.

"Oh calm down, pup. Everyone knows how much you are enjoying this but the two of you are bad enough without you pumping your proud Alpha scent out for everyone."

He wanted to feel bad, but not even Yoongi chiding him was enough to make him calm down. His Omega has never told Tae that they weren't soulmates whenever the Beta claimed they were. But this time he did and he's currently in his Alpha's lap. "We'll head back to the den," he stood up holding Jimin where the Omega was currently sucking lightly on his scent gland. "We'll see you guys tomorrow."

It took about two weeks before Jungkook could let the Omega out of his sight. "I get it, you are in love. But I need your help, we have a shit ton of new recruits and they need to be ran through the ringer and frankly Yoongi is fed up with them."

Jungkook sighed as he looked at Joon and Tae, "I'll stay with him, you know that." Tae turned to look at Jimin who was sitting in Jungkook's lap, his brown eyes blinking at the two. "Want to come watch me train with the bow?"

"The last time you took him out didn't go so well Taehyung," Jungkook growled a bit.

"The last time he was in duress and you got hurt. He's fine now, right Jiminie?"

All eyes went to the Omega who darted his eyes around the room before landing on Jungkook. "You need to go Alpha. I'll be okay with Taehyungie."

Jk snorted, "I doubt that highly. Anything that has to do with that Beta will end in calamity."

"I'm right here you know." Tae huffed, "all of you act like I'm the worst but who was the one that helped bring Jimin out of his shell?"

"Yoongi," Joon scoffed.

"Um me, his mate," Jungkook countered.

"Who was the one that brought you all your items needed while you two were holed up?"

"Hobi," Jungkook sighed.

"That was Yoongi yet again."

Tae looked at Joon with his mouth open, "I hate you so much, you are the literal worst and to think that I wanted..." he shook his head. "You know what never mind," he looked directly at Jimin. "It's your choice, you can hang out with me or stay in here alone. He has to help Joon otherwise these soldiers will never get trained and since we might go to war, we need them."

The Beta has never been one for seriousness, but he's all business right now. Jimin sighed as he pulled away from his spot in Jungkook's lap. "He's right, and frankly yes what you two said is correct. But Tae has been there as well, he's helped me almost as much as you have Kookie. I wouldn't even know that you were the cookie I was thinking of or the Alpha red eyes if it wasn't for him. Go, we'll be fine and Tae can show me just how awesome he is with a bow. He's been bragging about it since I got here, and I want to see if it was all lies or not."

"I never lied," Tae yelled with his fists on his hips, "I am the best there is."

Joon chuckled a bit, "he's not lying there. He really is amazing with a bow."

It took a bit to convince Jungkook that they could actually be apart. Jimin's scent hasn't changed. He was starting to worry that it was all for nothing, being mated protected them, but not as much as Jimin being pupped would. "Okay, one hour, that's all."

Everyone agreed and they parted ways. Jimin was dragged to the practice area where Tae spends most of his time. Tae wasn't lying he was really good, he was pulling off shots that Jimin never would have thought possible. He couldn't help cheering for his best friend. 

"Jimin can I talk to you?"

He looked up at the King that looked like he'd aged 10 years since the last time he saw him.

"Sure, are you okay Hobi?"

The King sat down on the bench beside Jimin, his head dropping to his hands. "I don't know what to do Jimin and I'm scared to say any of this to Kook."

"It's about him isn't it? The King's brother?"

Hobi sighed, "King Han Jeoff, the little brother to Mad King Han of the North. He's demanding you back, he says that Queen Ji-ah belongs to the North and that you must come back." The King had tears in his eyes. "I don't know what to do, Jimin. I refuse to give you back. But he's threatening war. I'm afraid to say no and that the North will steal even more Omegas."

"He wants Queen Ji-ah, I'm not her, I'm Jimin, Park Jimin. The King never let anyone know that I was a man, if they found out, they'd be executed right in front of me. What if..." He trailed off, biting his lower lip. There's no way that the King's little brother would have known... 

"What Jimin? Did you think of something?"

Jimin looked at the King. "What if the new King doesn't know that I'm a man? What if he thinks I'm a woman? The Han Alphas aren't into male Omegas, it's known countrywide. Why I have no idea. Here Alphas are with both male and female Omegas. I don't know why it was so taboo there because Lord knows the King spent as much time raping me as possible for someone that wasn't into men."

"I'm still so very sorry that my parents couldn't protect this country and I pray every day that I can do a better job."

"It's not your fault or theirs. Evil will always find a way. Set a meeting with the new King. Let's see what he says when he realizes that I'm a male."

Hobi gasped, "but, what if he still demands you? Jimin you aren't pupped yet, even mated we might not be able to protect you."

Jimin reached over and squeezed Hobi's arm. "I'll be okay, I have my Alpha and my friends. I don't think he'll fight for me once he realizes I'm not Queen Ji-ah." The Omega was determined, he had no control over his fate for ten years, now that he has everything he's ever wanted, he's not going to do down without a fight.

"He's not going to like this," Hobi grumbled.

The Omega snorted. "Oh he's going to throw an actual fit, like the whole castle will probably hear it. But he'll come around, he'll realize this is the only way to save all of us." His hand went down to his stomach. "Eventually we'll have pups and I want to have them here, in my home country and with my Alpha."

Hobi reached out and wrapped his arms around the Omega, "I'll trust you on this. But please, if your Alpha wants to murder me, protect me. I'm not even mated yet and I have no heir."

He patted Hobi's back, letting his scent out to calm down the Beta. "Don't worry Your Majesty, I'll protect you from my crazy Alpha."
