Chapter 13: Future Queen

From the moment that Taehyung wakes up, the day becomes a nightmare for him.

"Your Highness, will you lift your arms for me, so I can take proper measurements?" The tailor asks the already exhausted alpha.

"Very well." Taehyung mutters and lifts his arms.

"I promise that this will be finished soon." The tailor softly chuckles when he sees how exhausted the future Queen is.

"It is fine. Take your time." Taehyung hums and does his best to stay awake for the tailor.

After several hours of examining various fabrics and how they suit the future Queen, Jungkook walks into the room to send the tailor and his workers away to give Taehyung some peace.

"Was it really that awful?" Jungkook softly chuckles and walks over to his pouting mate.

"I would rather be in a battle than this." Taehyung mumbles and buries his face against his mate's chest.

"Tomorrow, you are free to explore." Jungkook hums and pets his mate's head.

"Since you are old, you are used to such things." Taehyung mutters with his face still buried in his mate's chest.

"Thirty four is not old!" Jungkook gasps in playful horror.

"Compared to me, you are old." Taehyung giggles and snuggles closer to his mate.

"Twenty is just young." Jungkook softly laughs then lifts his mate into his arms and carries him to their bed.

"You waited a long time to have a mate." Taehyung softly mutters as he looks into his mate's eyes.

"I was searching for you. If you were mated, I would have moved on and wished for your happiness with your mate. But, I told myself that if you were unmated, I would do everything that I could to protect you and love you." Jungkook whispers at the end bringing a bright smile to his mate's face.

"I love you too, My King." Taehyung whispers against his mate's lips then kisses him.

Jungkook lies down on the bed with his mate in his arms as they passionately kiss. The large alpha wraps his arms around his mate's waist and presses their bodies together.

"Jungkook, Yoongi wants ... us." Namjoon quickly turns around and leaves the room when he realizes that he interrupted the mates.

"We should go." Taehyung smiles and lovingly pecks his mate's lips.

"I love you, my Dear." Jungkook hums and buries his face in the crook of his mate's neck.

"I love you too." Taehyung gently pecks his mate's cheek.

When Jungkook stands to his feet with Taehyung in his arms, the younger alpha squeals in surprise and wraps his legs around his mate's torso. "I can walk on my own." Taehyung blushes when his mate carries him out of their bedchambers.

"I know, but I rather enjoy this." Jungkook happily smiles and continues to carry his embarrassed mate.

"Fine." Taehyung mumbles and buries his face in the crook of his mate's neck.

When they enter Yoongi's room, Jungkook sees the small human being held by Yoongi. "I am guessing that you have not let him go." Jungkook chuckles when he sees the older man holding the small human.

"More like he refuses to allow me to set him down. Since we do not speak the same language, I am unsure of what he wants from me." Yoongi explains as he gently pats the small human's back.

"He feels safe with you. From the looks of it, he was a slave who was abused, and you are the one who brought him to safety when he finally escaped." Jungkook suggests and sits down in a chair with his mate in his arms.
