Claim your fate

chapter 2

"Are you going protect me?"

The omega stared at Hyunjin with uncertainty. Maybe Hyunjin should answer soon, instead of staring like a fool at the omega. The omega who had yet to stand up and greet him like an alpha should be greeted. There was no submission, no acknowledgment, just blatant disrespect. Hyunjin would protect the omega, but he needed to be shown respect.

His alpha sent out a low growl. It was a growl of dominance and one that demanded submission from any and all omegas in his presence. He watched in satisfaction as the omega scrambled up, sending the book tumbling to the floor. The omega bent down to pick it up, to right the situation, but another growl made him panic.

He didn't know what to do. His inner omega was terrified of doing something wrong; of making the alpha so mad that he refused his protection. He tossed the book back onto the chair and scrambled over to Hyunjin, hands shaking and heart pounding. When he was standing two feet in front of Hyunjin, he calmed down drastically. The powerful scent from the alpha enveloped him and eased him.

He blinked up several times at the alpha, startling to see that the alpha was staring back. The stare didn't make him uncomfortable or uneasy. He was so thankful that he felt safe in this alpha's presence already.

He opened and closed his mouth several times before gathering the nerve to speak. "Can I, um, can you tell me your name?" He twisted his hands together.

"You're speaking to me?" Hyunjin barked. "Without being addressed?"

He expected the omega to bow his head or whine pathetically. What he didn't expect was the omega snapping his head up and snarling.

"You can't speak to me like that." The omega crossed his arms and cocked a hip. Hyunjin raised an eyebrow. So he had a sassy omega on his hands. And, let it be known that Hyunjin had a weakness for sass, even though it went against everything an omega should be.

"Oh?" He asked, a half smile gracing his lips. "Why not?"

The omega turned his nose up. "You're not my alpha."

Hyunjin chuckled lowly. "Yes, little one, but I am protecting you." He said. "Omegas generally tend to respect the ones taking care of them."

The omega huffed. "My name is Felix, and I don't need taken care of."

"Saves me the time and energy." Hyunjin growled. Sass was cute, disrespect was not. And this omega was being ungrateful to Hyunjin, and he was not going to stand for it. "You think I want to protect you?"

Felix opened his mouth to respond, but four bodies appeared in the doorway. They both turned to see their parents. Jihyo and Sana were staring at them worriedly, and Jinyoung and Suho were giving their sons scathing looks. Hyunjin assumed they could smell the tension.

"Everything alright?" Sana asked, addressing Felix and only Felix.

Hyunjin watched as the omega nodded his head. "We were just talking. Hyunjin's promised to never let anything hurt me."

Hyunjin frowned and looked down at Felix, who was smiling shyly at his mother, who was giving them a loving, caring stare. So he now had to take care of an omega who lied, too? Uh-uh. No way.

But one look to his mothers' warning glare made him sigh and keep his mouth shut. He had to admit, it was a great deal they had worked out between the two packs. Joining their strongest forces was a smart idea.

The four adults turned to head back downstairs, and Felix followed. Hyunjin trailed behind the omega, eyes roaming over his body. Now, Hyunjin could appreciate a nice body, and this omega had one. He was curvy like no other, with hips to die for. Hyunjin knew that this omega was probably the most fertile thing to roam the earth, he wasn't stupid. And sweet Jesus, the ass on this one. Hyunjin almost drooled at his thighs. He could picture those thighs wrapped around his head as he did unspeakable things to Felix.
