Ancient Omega (Jikook)

Part 11-The Return of the Princes

Jimin immediately cut off communication with his second. He was beyond pissed. He looked down at his mate and reveled in his complete dishevelment. His hair was still wet from the sweat of the activities they had been engaged in for the last couple of days...or what he thought was the last couple of days. He wasn't really sure. the time they had spent in his room was a blur of melding body parts grunts, howls, moans and a few screams from his mate. He was aware that he would have to bring his mate with him to have this meeting. But he only trusted Tae and his mates. He mate wasn't yet ready to be away from him, as his heat was still active, though it had calmed down quite a bit. Knowing Jungkook, he would fight it the rest of the way. The thought saddened the Alpha. He loved how needy his Kookie was and loved even more fulfilling that need. But, the Pride had to come before them.

So, he found himself quickly going to his expansive bathroom and grabbing one of his plush washcloths to clean his mate up some as he filled a washbowl with very warm water, some healing herbs, and soothing bathing crystals. The bathing crystals helped to clean the air of the musk from their mating, and the herbs helped to sooth his mate's sore body. Admittedly, Jimin had worked his mate over, Well not truly him so much, more like his alpha. His mate gave as good as he got but, even still the sore muscles were mostly with his body. Jimin gently pulled the covers back from Kookie and smiled softly at the soft keening noises of dismay that came from the dozing younger man. He really thought his mate was way too cute for his own good. But duty calls, and they both had to show, as this had as much if not more to do with Jungkook as it did with Jimin himself.

"Kookie. I know your tired and still not feeling well but, we have to go downstairs." he said softly. His entreated was met with the most adorable growl he had ever heard. Maybe it was the pheromones talking, but still.....CUTE!!! Jimin realized he had to get a grip and get his mate out of bed. "Kookie!!! come on, you want to make yourself look like a weak omega that needs to depend on his big strong alpha for everything?" He challenged. If he couldn't wake the boy, then he will wake the cat. He was pretty positive the cat wouldn't take that laying down. He was proven right immediately. His mate quickly moved from the bed despite his unclothed state and growled at him and it was anything but cute. Jimin sighed to himself. He held up his hands, in an act to show he meant no harm and raised an eyebrow as he let his eyes run down the length of the younger man's body slowly. The other looked at him with disgust and huffed as he turned toward the bathroom and moved toward it. "What no good afternoon kiss, my love?" Jimin called after his mate and only was returned with a louder sharper growl.

Jungkook sighed as he leaned heavily on the door as soon as it closed. His body hurt everywhere. He knew what happened but not sure how it happened. He had no recollection of the past few nights or days. just a dark haze that seemed to cloak his memories. Though very disconcerting, he wasn't worried over much. He knew he had been in heat and he told the other cat he was free to fix it. He knew enough about the other to know that he was honorable. Such a thing was for most an illusion, but for this man it seemed to be what he prided himself on. He groaned softly as he moved to the pristine bathtub and shower only to realize he would not be capable of stepping into it. That pissed him off. The worst thing was he couldn't be mad at his so-called mate, he had no one to blame for his pain but himself. A wayward though came from his human...this sucks!!!!!

Jimin waited outside the door for his mate to return, by now he should have come to the conclusion, that he wouldn't be able to do anything on his own at present time. That had to be pissing him off, since his only avenue would be for him to come to him. again, a decision he would not ever like. The fiercely independent cat that was housed in his mate's body, didn't like needing help. But, Jimin surmised, he would come out soon and he could get him cleaned up. He acknowledged what he did was a total dick move. In his defense, he was slightly overwhelmed with everything that was happening, he couldn't be expected to handle it all well, and unfortunately, he had been woken up with BS, and the penalty was he was a total dick at the moment, he was just sorry that his mate had to deal with him, or maybe not. His mate was very capable of putting Jimin in his place. Just as he thought to knock on the bathroom door, Kookie open the door and Jimin regretted his previous thoughts. His poor mate could barely move and was having a hard time just standing up straight. It had been a long time since he felt like a douchebag, but he truly felt like one now. When he examined himself, he was sure that his pompous ass of a cat had been influencing his thoughts. He had to make up it up to his mate.

"So, who is glaring at me, Kookie or Runari?" he asked softly. He needed to know who was upfront but as his mate tilted his head at him, he knew who it was: Runari. And the cat was pretty pissed off.

You! I trusted you and you tried to break us! Fuckin Alpha! I should rip your throat out!!!

To say that Runari was pissed off had been a grave understatement. Jimin knew that he was wasting time pissing off his mate when he should be helping him so that they could get downstairs and discuss who was after them. "Look. I apologize for being a gigantic dickhead. But we have a lead on who is after you, and who is coming to wage war on my pride. Right now, there is a power summit of my highest soldiers and they are waiting on us. Let me clean you up and take you downstairs. You have a right to know who is after you and why. Though, I suspect you can probably answer that better than anyone. So, can I get you clean up and head down to my secure office? We know there are traitors here, and it isn't safe for you to be here even with the best of the best that I have." Jimin pleaded quickly to his mate. He started this and had set them back. The cat stared at him through Kookie's eyes for what seemed like forever. Then the most amazing thing happened. His mate's eyes changed color and he seemed to near drop.

"Please help me. I am unable to move." a very soft voice was emitted from the lips once again; it was really Kookie. Jimin quickly moved and scooped up the younger man and placed him on the bed.

"I really am sorry for being such an ass. I think my Alpha is cocky and that cockiness seemed to have trickled down to me, but that is no excuse. Let me get you cleaned up and we will head on downstairs alright?" he said softly as he begun to softly wipe the remains of their consecutive nights of mating from Jungkook's body.

Why did you leave? You feel funny Runari. It feels as if.... Are you afraid? I don't understand you have kept me locked up for the last 5 years what is different now? Jungkook was so confused. His cat has trusted no one to protect them but here he was relinquishing control so easily. Your mate...will do. I will take a step back, but if he fucks up I will again lock you inside to protect you. I do not like my mate. He is the very epitome of the assholes I grew up with and died because of. You may have your mate, but I will not have anything to do with his cat. Tell him this. His cat will not mate with me ever again.

"Umm, Hyung, Runari says he hates your cat. you are allowed to mate with me. If I choose to. But he will never mate with your cat ever again. " Jungkook was so confused. He had been awoken by his cat to take over the body, and then complained to about Jimin's cat. He was acting differently. "Jimin Hyung?" He titled his head in inquiry.

"Yes, Kookie?", he answered immediately.

"Why is Runari afraid?", he asked innocently. "Please don't call me that. I am not Kookie anymore. Kookie is dead. There is only me." he expressed as his voice softened to just above a whisper.    I....AM....NOT....AFRAID!!!!

Jimin shook his head and continued to clean his young mate until his skin gleamed. "We have to go, but when we are done maybe we will know why your cat...is cautious." he offered. He quickly pull some clothes out, that had been donated to the new Luna of the pack, and quickly covered his mate's body, after having thrown on a t shirt and jeans himself. He quickly and gently picked Kookie up and held him tight. "Right now, I don't have all the answers, but we will get a great many in a very few minutes. ok?" He held his mate close and rapped on the door a few times so that their guards could let them out and escort them to the office. While all hell was breaking loose in his pride, all Jimin could think about was that he had his mate, back in his arms again...and how good it felt.
