Chapter 9: The One Who Loves Trouble

I was up late last night writing again (Sleep writing) and thankfully didn't accidentally publish while half asleep 😂😂

Thank you for all the love for this book. I appreciate it, especially since this story might test your patience a bit considering the mess Taegi is in 😬😬😬

Yoongi dashed out of the quarters where Taehyung stayed, his mind swirling with disbelief over the recent events. He couldn't get his head out of how intoxicating the scent of his fated mate was. He realised his life was about to become infinitely more complicated around his fated alpha, especially considering how effortlessly he had lost his inhibitions around him. Never before once he had felt such a strong attraction to an alpha ..not even to his future husband and the fact that Taehyung seemed equally drawn to him only added to the problems .

Yoongi knew he had to keep his distance from Taehyung for the sake of Jungkook and his family ..the thought of hurting them was unbearable to him. He silently prayed for his family's business in this territory to conclude quickly so they could return to their kingdom.

As Yoongi hurried along, he collided with a solid chest, jolting him from his thoughts.He looked up and saw his fiance staring down at him with worry in his face

"Yoonie, are you okay? Where did you disappear to? And why are you running?" Jungkook asked, concern etched on his face as he noticed Yoongi's flushed and sweaty appearance.

Yoongi shook his head frantically. "No, nothing's wrong..I'm okay" he replied, licking his lips

" Why do you smell like an alpha? Did someone try to trouble you ? " Jungkook frowned, his nose scrunching as he sensed another alpha's smell all over his omega..Yoongi inwardly cursed himself for forgetting about the chance of the lingering scent of his fated alpha, especially ater he knew how Taehyung was all over him just few minutes ago.

"Ahh..No no hyungie..I was just talking to Ji Euns  alpha. He showed me the way back," Yoongi explained nervously hoping jungkook won't ask anything further

Jungkook nodded understandingly and sighed in relief " Okay, just don't wander around alone too much. It's still a new place."he advised, brushing aside yoongi's sweat-drenched hair.

"Sorry, Hyungie," Yoongi apologized, his head bowed down,feeling guilty for causing him concern and also for letting himself letting loose and almost submitting to his fated alpha.

Jungkook watched Yoongi's expression dropping suddenly and felt pang of guilt inside. He had always been careful not to hurt Yoongi, even with his words. "Oh, sorry! I didn't mean to come off as rude. I just want to make sure you are safe Yoonie..You are new to everything, and I don't want you to get hurt. You know how some alphas are.. Sorry if you felt bad!"he said with genuine remorse.

Yoongi smiled softly, touched by Jungkook's consideration. Despite the stories he had heard about alphas being unkind to omegas, Jungkook had always been his protector and treated him as an equal since childhood. As they grew up, Yoongi noticed Jungkook's worry only increasing, and him becoming more and more careful and cautious about the omega, but it only deepened Yoongi's appreciation for his caring nature.

"No, Hyungie, I understand. I'll stay by your side. I won't leave" Yoongi assured him.

Jungkook nodded in relief and returned the smile and wrapped his arm around Yoongi, quickly guiding him back to their room.

Jimin paced back and forth in his cabin, his frustration boiling over. "Okay, I quit. I'm leaving. I might go rogue or join some other pack. Why the hell am I still friends with you?" he blurted out, addressing Taehyung who sat calmly on his bed watching his best friend losing it.
