Rockabye [VKOOK]

{1} No Place Like Hell

Jungkook wakes up in a cold sweat. Hearing the sound of his mother's screams was the worst thing Jungkook goes through almost every day. Ever since he turned five, he has been getting a constant reminder of the day he was taken away from his family. He starts to slow down his breathing, focusing on the calming scent of a familiar Omega coming to his room. He gets out of the bed rubbing the sleep and gunks out of them.

He hears a knock at the door. He was a little startled at first, but when he heard the sound of that same, familiar, sweet voice he was used to hearing every day, he relaxed. Jungkook walks towards the door and doesn't hesitate to open it once he smells the familiar scent of lavender.

The omega on the other side of the door opens her arms wide, and Jungkook doesn't hesitate to jump right into them. "Noona!" The young girl smiles wide when he takes hold of Jungkook in her arms. She sensed the younger was having another one of his nightmares when she got close to his room and rushed as quickly as she could. Jungkook lets go of the hug with a smile on his face. Very rarely is he smiling when he's in a place like Redstone. "I missed you so much, Irene noona. I wish you were with me last night."

The young girl felt bad for him. "Another nightmare?"

Jungkook nods his head.

Jungkook and Irene have known each other for a long time. When Jungkook was first brought to the pack by their first pack leader (kidnapped was more like it) they gave him to Irene's family to look after. But when he was ten, they killed Irene's family for trying to help the young omega escape. Ever since then, he and Irene have been stuck in the pack house. Irene became one of the pack house servants, considering she was an omega. Jungkook on the other hand?

He was going to become the new pack alpha's Luna.

The alpha that ripped Jungkook from his family and home died a couple of weeks ago. He doesn't know much about it, but Jungkook found out from Irene that she heard some of the guards talking about poison.

But Jungkook thought the alpha deserved it. He does nothing but bring pain and misery wherever he goes. And his son was no better. Suyoung was a terrible alpha who cared for nothing but himself. He runs the place like he is a king and everyone else is just a lowly peasant. It doesn't matter if they were an alpha, beta, or omega. They were inferior compared to him.

"I wish I could have been there to save you from your nightmares, Jungkook. But you know the rules. We can't be with each other when we have our hearts. Suyoung's rules."

Jungkook pouts as the other tries to calm him down. "The rules are stupid, Irene."

She smiles. "I know they are, but we can't dilly-dally. I have to get you ready for the meeting tonight."

Jungkook listens to her and goes to sit, while Irene gets everything ready for Jungkook. Jungkook hated meetings, especially today's meetings. All of the meetings were painful for Jungkook because all of Suyoung's family came together in one room. Every single one of them was alpha, too. The scents were all overwhelming for him and he would always end up sick at the end of the meeting. But they wouldn't care. And this meeting was even worse because they were talking about the upcoming wedding between him and Suyoung.

And every single one of them is as mean and brutal as Suyoung. None of them cared for Jungkook or the others. They didn't care for anything.

Jungkook always felt bad for every other omega that would be forced to come to Redstone. Because none of them would be lucky enough to live. He and Irene were the only omegas in the pack. Any other omega would either be executed or forced to leave the pack. It was so cruel.

Irene brings Jungkook's attention to her and she starts to comb her fingers through his hair. "So, how should I make my little Jungkookie even more handsome than he already is?"
