True Alpha (Jikook)

Chapter 2

Jungkook's P.O.V.

After the death of my family, news spread like wild fire among the villagers, they all did come to find me but what was the use of it, my only family was dead because nobody came to their rescue on time.

My life had become a living hell. I tried my best to cope up with the emptiness and the despair, but as time went by, I slowly found out the harsh reality. Nobody would care for me, there was no one who would make food for me, no body cared if I died or stayed healthy. Even if I had nightmares constantly, I was alone to fend it off by myself.

Things could have been worse if not for a small cottage my father had built next to the farms, a safe house he would call it. There were rations in it and some medical help, but that was it. I didn't find any money around nor clothes or other necessities.

Being an Omega I had a fragile body and that was really a big problem for me. I couldn't do heavy labor nor could I warm myself in the cold nights. Winter was along the lines and I still had no idea how I was going to survive the ordeal. 

There were many nights when I thought I should just die, but then Junghyun would be disappointed in me if I tried suicide. He gave his life away to protect his family... me.

Two weeks passed and I was deathly pale and very sick, barely breathing. There weren't people around who were kind enough to help me, and I also didn't want their help. They were equally responsible for my family's death.

One thing I had noticed these days were the constant glances some of the village boys threw my way whenever I went out to wash myself in the nearby stream or to just look for fruit trees. Even though I had a whole stock of grains with me, I didn't know how to cook food or how to eat it. So my feast these days were the wild berries and some local fruits growing in the forest.

The first week I had chalked it up as just some plain curiosity, they must know me since every villager around did, and they must also know that I was an orphan now. But as the second week started, I felt the intensity of their stare becoming a pain to bare, it was like they were hungry?

I didn't know why it happened but my scent too started to become stronger, so much that I myself could smell it on me, the change was so sudden that it baffled me. However, the small detail I threw at the back of my mind, trying to focus on keeping myself alive. Each day was a struggle for me.

And today I came across a stranger, a guy older than me but younger than my parents, he was probably a beta, I could tell by his broad appearance and the sharp golden gaze. He looked at me once and just stopped in his track.

I had felt myself shiver beneath his heavy stare and knew it wasn't safe for me to be around him. But... he wasn't that threatening.

"Ya an Omega lil one?" he asked me as I stopped trying to look subtle and escape.

"Y-Yes."

He shook his head and sighed, "For a young kind ya are too bold, telling me ya an omega."

His way of speaking was so weird that I felt contradictory. I thought he was a bad guy and also a good one, because he didn't seem to be looking to harm me. He was genuinely curious for some vague reason.

"I-I don't understand."

"Ya in heat kid? Though ya are so young for that, something triggered it?" he asked me intrigued, while I just frowned. What was he talking about, what was heat?

"Today is c-cold."

He looked at me for a while and then suddenly started to laugh. Although I didn't find it funny. "W-What?"
