Love Me || Taekook

"Hey have you heard about the big news yet?" My close friend Jimin asked me after swallowing a large bite of his lunch. "Another pack is joining up with us. Supposedly, they were found out by the hunters and lost a bunch of wolves."

"Yeah....my mom told me about it this morning. She made sure to remind me that everyone would be on edge 'cause of the new scents and shit, but I think she was trying to subtly tell me to behave." I shrugged, remembering the conversation we had before I left for school. She did seem a bit nervous though. I don't blame her, or anyone else for that matter. If they had really been discovered by hunters, there was a chance that they could lead the damn murderers to us.

"I wonder if any of them are cute....I heard they have several Alphas. I'm not really surprised since they were the ones to survive, but it still kind of makes me nervous." He finished the last bit of his bread, then set the wrapper down, looking around the lunch room at our school. "Honestly though, I'm more worried about you. You are an Omega after all, and a male one at that. What if they've never been around one before? They could totally jump you or something."

I sighed. "That's not gonna happen. They always over exaggerate how rare Omegas are Jimin. It's more rare to find a wolf that's never met one then one that has. Plus, I have you and my family to protect me even if something like that did happen. Mr. Jung would've said something if it was a serious concern." While all of my points were very valid and I sounded very confident in the fact that I would be fine, there was still concern deep inside. I have personally only met one Alpha that wasn't completely familiar with me. It was obvious that the guy had seen Omegas before, but he still tried to come onto me. Luckily, I wasn't alone so it turned out fine, but it still made me a bit nervous about meeting brand new alphas.

"Yeah...I guess you're right." Jimin huffed and checked the time. "Let's get a head start to class. I don't feel like dealing with crowded halls today." He stood up, grabbing my wrist and pulling me with him out of the lunch area. "I just want the rest of the day to be over with."

"Agreed."

I groaned as I flopped down onto my bed. My brain hurt from school and all I wanted was to sleep. Luckily, no one came into my room to stop from entering the fluffy heavens of my dreams. Normally my mom would yell at me for sleeping before dinner or going to bed without cleaning up, but everyone was just too stressed to think of stuff like that. I would have to remind myself later to thank the new wolves for letting me sleep peacefully.

And yes, my sleep was actually amazing. But I still had to actually wake up. When I finally pried my eyes open the next morning, I felt weird. You know that feeling when you're all feverish and your body aches and you feel like vomiting but you know you won't? Yeah that's how I felt.

"Tae? It's time to get up. We have to go to a pack meeting in about an hour so hurry and get ready. Breakfast is ready when you get done." My mother's sweet voice echoed into my room from the doorframe. I wanted to tell her that I can't go because I feel sick, but she was gone before I could.

"Fuck it...I'll just go and then sleep the rest of the day when we come back. It's Saturday anyways." I huffed quietly and dragged myself out of bed, grabbing clean clothes and heading to the bathroom for a nice, cool shower. It helped a little. I didn't feel as hot as I did before, but I still felt strange and pretty terrible.

I ended up skipping breakfast out of fear that I would end up losing it in the middle of the meeting. My parents were obviously concerned, but I simply told them not to worry. I just wanted to get the damned meeting over with and come back home. "Let's go. I'll probably leave once it's over, but you guys should stay and meet the new additions to our pack."

"Okay, but you need to let us know if you start feeling any worse. I don't want you to over exert yourself. It'll make it harder to fight off whatever this is." My Dad smiled sympathetically as he patted my shoulder lightly.

We all shuffled out of the house and started walking towards the big conference hall in the middle of our small town. We made our way into the large building only to find that everyone had already arrived. It seemed that everyone was excited and the place was so loud that I had to actually cover my ears because they hurt.

Holy shit...why is everyone yelling. Goddamn.

It was a bit strange to me though. No one else seemed to be having trouble with the noise. I figured that I was probably being a bit sensitive due to whatever it was that I had come down with. Speaking of this damn sickness, it had gotten significantly worse as we got here. I wasn't going to tell my parents, though. I'm just not that interested in worrying the shit out of them.

The meeting started in a few minutes and Mr. Jung, the head Alpha of our pack, started talking about random things like the new pregnancies and the need for more volunteers on some random community organization. I didn't pay much attention to it. I was more focused on trying to figure out who had dared to give me such a terrible bug.

Jimin's not sick....I don't think anyone else at school was either. Maybe mom's right and I shouldn't go to bed without washing up.

"-introduce themselves." I didn't hear the beginning of that sentence, but it didn't matter. As Mr. Jung walked off the large stage at the front, a group of about ten to fifteen wolves walked up. Most of them were guys, but there were a few females as well. Surprisingly, they all seemed to be quite attractive. Jimin must be happy...

Although they all seemed very appealing to look at, I somehow didn't want to keep looking. They just didn't really interest me. Well, they didn't until my eyes landed on one of the guys in the back. I felt heat engulf my body and a pained groan slipped out of my lips. It was quiet enough not to disturb others, but my parents definitely noticed. My knees buckled as I continued to stare at him and a moment later, I was on the floor shaking.

Curse these fucking meetings and the fact that we never have chairs.

I didn't really process everything that happened next, but before I knew it, I was out of the building and in my own room. Whoever had carried me, presumably my dad, had set me down on my bed. I normally love my sweet bed and never want to leave it, but it felt as hard as a rock for some reason. A rock that had been heated up in hell. I could hear the voices of my parents, but their words weren't being processing in my head. I only really heard one word that scared the shit out of me.

"Heat"
