T W E N T Y - T W O

>Tae! Yoongi is able to somewhat track your old scent. Do you think you'd be able to escape tonight so we can meet halfway in the forest?

Taehyung shoots up on the couch, his wolf getting pulled out of his daydreams of today's earlier experiences.

His heart starts speeding up, he glances into the kitchen to make sure the alpha was still drinking some water.

<Meet halfway? Jiminie, I have no idea where I am. How am I supposed to know what direction to go into?

>Just make sure you can escape tonight, Taehyungie. Go off into any direction you think is the best, we'll try our best to track you down.

The omega frowns, hands starting to sweat. How the hell is he supposed to manage to do that?

<I'll try something, but if I don't manage to escape, you guys will have to return to the pack. I don't want to know what the alpha would do if you guys suddenly pop up, wanting to take me back.

>Of course, I understand. Yoongi and I are going to track down your scent to see how far it goes. We'll try our best. I hope I'll see you tonight, Tae.

Taehyung smiles sadly, humming.

<I hope I'll see you soon again, too.

With that, it went silent. He nervously glances back into the alpha's direction, his wolf starting to fidget within him.

He's aware his wolf is going to be a pain in the ass to deal with, especially now since it already accepted the new alpha. He can only hope it won't be as difficult as he thinks it'll be.

Taehyung stirrs around in the alpha's bed, knowing the male can enter the room any second now.

When he does, he presses his eyes shut, turning around again so his back faces him. He doesn't want the other to see his anxious facial expressions. Praying silently that his pheromones won't give him away, he pulls the blanket up higher,
wanting to drown in it.

He frowns even deeper when the male doesn't appear in his vision on the couch.

"Omega, do you wish to nest again? I can smell your scent. Is there something bothering you? I'm always here for you."

Taehyung's breath slightly hitched, his chest heaving up and down a bit too quickly. He shakes his head.

"N─no! No, it's okay. I'm just a bit fidgety, nothing too bad." His voice came out a few octaves higher than normal, making the other furrow his brows.

The alpha inside of him went crazy. Is there something wrong with their omega? Is it something he did? Can he do something? He wants the omega to be at ease.

He takes a few steps closer, wanting nothing more than to comfort him. So, instead of sleeping on the couch, he scoots in behind Taehyung instead.

The submissive stills, teeth pulling on the skin of his lips. How is he ever supposed to escape now?

His mind goes entirely blank when he feels two arms wrap around him, pulling him in to a warm chest. He suddenly remembers being in his own bed, unable to sleep since he imagined this exact scenario.

The alpha rubs his nose over his scent gland, teeth then proceeding to tug on his earlobe and shell softly. Exactly like his wolf would do.
