HIS ROGUE MATE | 𝗧𝗮𝗲𝗸𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗳𝗳

LI

The dark basement wafted with the strong and alluring woody scent, the occasional grunts and growls and the rattles of the heavy iron chains kept it alive along with the single dim bulb that lit the place.

Jungkook's eyes glowed red, his body tense and muscles straining against the chains that bound him. There were deep wounds and cuts where blood had dried, some healed and new ones too.

He was chained here for the past week since his pre-rut symptoms started to show up. It was troublesome for the wolves who worked in the packhouse, especially for his omega, Blaze.

His only concern is to stay away from Blaze so that he wouldn't hurt the younger or trigger his heat. The promise he made to Taehyung can never be left unfulfilled, and this was not new for him. All these years, he was chained during his rut so that he or Lycus wouldn't claim another omega. However, having an omega, a mate at that and spending the rut alone was painful and he would endure anything for his mate.

"It's been a week!! I want my omega!"

Unlike Jungkook, Lycus didn't have any control. He was going feral due to the restless desire to be with their omega, to claim what was theirs and the human didn't have any other choice but to watch his wolf in pain.

"I know," Jungkook muttered between the heavy breaths, his damp hair stuck to his face and the red eyes stared at the basement door. He threw back his head as another wave of rut started to hit him. "But... without his...his consent, we won't do...do anything."

The door creaked open catching his attention, and then Namjoon walked in with food and clothes. Jungkook lowly growled feeling threatened at the presence of another alpha with the scent of his mate.

"I'm not a threat, Kook," Namjoon gently stated, placing the food and clothes on the table in the room. The Trueblood slowly nodded, a groan left past his lips as another wave hit.

The alpha carefully moved to the younger with one of the clothes and reached out for the other to take a whiff of it. The familiar scent of his omega gave a momentary comfort to the torment. He was barely living like this.

"How...how is he?" Jungkook's voice was barely above a whisper. He missed the omega, even amidst the pain he was in, worried about Blaze. "Is he well?"

"Do you want to hear the truth?" Namjoon questioned, pulling back the cloth and the Trueblood nearly mewled at the loss of comfort. "He is missing you, Jungkook."

"If he thinks no one notices him, I did, he is searching for you every day. He arrives for dinner to check whether you have arrived or not. He is speaking only cause Jin and Jimin are there for him."

Jungkook's heart clenched at Namjoon's words, the ache of longing deepening within him. He could almost picture Blaze, his beautiful omega, searching for him, hoping to find him back at the packhouse. It was a painful image, one that made the chains feel even heavier.

"Should I send him here?"

Jungkook sighed, the thought of seeing Blaze filling him with both hope and fear. "I don't want to risk it, Hyung. If I see him, I might lose control. Lycus is already so close to the edge."

"I think we both need this time," Namjoon nodded then proceeded to grab the food and started feeding the alpha.

"Jimin is pregnant,"

Jungkook's heart warmed at the news, he was thrilled to know that a new addition would arrive in five months to lighten up their packhouse.

"That's... that's an amazing news, Hyung." The Trueblood genuinely smiled, he desired to meet the expecting omega. "I am happy for them."
