The trip back to Taehyung's small appartment is silent as ever. They let themselves inside, shrugging off theirs coats and hanging them on the back door. Taehyung headed into
the kitchen where after some digging around in the cupboards he come back with a bottle of sealed vodka, gift from a friend. He plopped down next to jungkook on the couch, opening unceremoniously the bottle and gulping down a large swig of it before handing it to his other friend.
The young alpha's eyes widened, he began to refuse.
"I'm 19." he muttered but taehyung cut him off.
"and you are a werewolf. you are old enough to get married and lead a pack if you want. Plus i think we both need a drink after today." he protested; pushing the cold glassy bottle toward his friend who at accpeted it and brought it to his lips. he made an unhappy face as the amber liquid burn his tongue and the back of his throat.
"Don't see what you humans like about this." he said. taehyung laughed. It's raucous and hearty and totally unexpected. It filled the room with warm.
"Werewolves eat raw meat, I dont think you get room to criticize us, man." he let out after his laugh fizzled away, staring up at his ceiling.
Silence stretched out between them.
"He is right, I abandonned him. I have no rights to call him mine again." He said, staring right before him. the omega's words had hurt him by how truth they were.
Taehyung shifted in the couch, turning to meet his friend's eyes.
"Stop now. jimin is at fault too at least you try to make amend while he just out there fucking things up for people." he slurred, just a bit tipsy.
They fell back into silence, taehyung scooting over and nuzzling against the alpha's side the way he used to do with jimin. they drank and talked until he drifted into unconsciousness. His dreams plagued with images of hobi.
The jungs leader had been quite busy by his own starting with the preparation of his son's mating with the Park's omega. An union that promised to be very fruitful for him if he played his cards right. He knew that his son and his rival's grandson was plotting behind his back to take him down and he hoped to surprised him.
"I hate to admit that I'm scared of him. if he so much as suspect that I talked to you, he will have me and my family killed. I know it." let out the alpha sat across from him, he
betrayed nothing behind his placid look legs crossed under the table and hands in his lap. he couldnt careless about the other wolf's wellbeing but he couldnt tell him that instead he smiled meaning forward.
"Well if you help me now, i'll make sure that you and your family are protected." he assured because it cost him nothing to make such promise he was certain that the kid would have his new friend's head on a spike in the following days as soon as he heard what he had done.
The wolf swallowed down, his head tilting up as he stared right at him.
"On your honor?" The jungs leader almost laugh if the park go around putting weight on everybody's word it was amazing that they had survived all this time. He shrugged
"Of course." He intoned without blinking. The wolf nodded, his shoulders relaxing visibly. He leaned back on the padded chair, sighing.
"Ever since that horrible night, noone want to step foot in the manor."
and like that he listened as the alpha spilled all the secrets of his clans leader to his enemys.
A week passed then two all in a flash until it was the mating's ceremony day.
Hoseok's mother was still at the Park's hospital were the doctors were optimistic in regard of her health after doing their utmost best to stabilize him but without better care his life was still in danger. Theirs plan was perfect and everything was ready.
Jimin hadn't heard from either jungkook nor tae ever since their surprise visit at his place. His hands shook at the guts of the jungkook who thought that all he had to do was stepping foot in his living to have him crawl back ready to submit to his alpha dominance. He had left, he shouldnt expect nothing from him.
Staring at his reflexion, his hand naturally flew up to smooth a strand of his mid length hair backward before he resumed buttoning his shirt. Beside him his phone rang, without looking he picked it up and brought it to his ears.
"Speak." he ordered. a short lived silence followed.
"I did as you asked." a voice announced softly. jimin hummed.
"Good. I presumed he didnt suspect anything, am i right?" he asked, a smile stretching out his lips.
"No. he acted as you guessed. he will have his own guards ready for you and once the ceremony done intend to kill you both."
his eyes widened as his hands stilled.
"Even his son?"
"The kid is compromised he said. he will not take a risk with him."
Another hum.
"Good." and he hung up. a knock at the doork steer him out of his reverie. he glanced up as hoseok stepped in. t
The alpha is also dressed.
"ready?" he asked, cracking up a nervous smile.
Jimin pocketed his phone and jumped to his feet.
"yes, let's go we dont want to make your father and ourd clans wait more than necessary." the alpha nodded and followed him out the door.
