so. i'm sorry in advance.

Jungkook was frozen- breath caught in his throat, body unable to move. He can see the way Taehyung's eyes have slowly slid to look behind him and he could see the very second they locked eyes. Blue eyes dulled and the dangerous curl of his snarl sharpened as his teeth threatened to rip through his lip. Even Solar had stopped in sudden shock and had whipped around, dark hair a mess around her pale face. Hoseok's arm was like a hot brand around his waist when he pulled him close and tugged him behind his back, Yoongi's strong form solid at his side.

"Nothing?" That haunting voice called, and Jungkook swallowed the lump in his throat to look up towards the doors that had been kicked open. Long legs, expensive clothes, the heavy scent of an alpha that smelled so familiar but so repulsive at the same time. Bright, crystalline blue Kim eyes that stared them down with a look he knew Taehyung had never been capable of. It was cruelty, it was bloodshed, it was danger.

It was Baekhyun.

The older man stood at the door, dressed to the nines, with three well built men at his side. They stood taller and broader than him but there was no doubt that they knew Baekhyun was their Alpha- Jungkook could barely stomach the vision of a pack built around the philosophies of a murderer. The omega felt his heart race in his chest and he quickly wrapped his arms around his stomach, mind focused solely on survival at just the sight of the alpha. His bond with Taehyung told him that his mate wasn't too far off either, the hum of his anger paltry in comparison to the wave of protectiveness that Jungkook felt.

"Baekhyun." Jungkook had expected the voice of his mate and was surprised to instead turn and see the Elder stand with his hands behind his back. It was almost infuriating to see him look so passive when the energy of the room was so manic. "You are interrupting an official Challenge between Alphas." Jungkook felt his skin crawl as silence followed his words, Hoseok and Yoongi both slid to cage him in further as Seokjin moved behind him.

"'Alphas'." The intruder repeated, his nose scrunched like he'd just walked into something foul. "Neither of them are worthy of the title." One of the wolves at his side snorted and Jungkook couldn't help how he flinched at the abrasive sound.

"Oh?"

Baekhyun's lips curled into a cruel smirk as he pushed his bright hair from his eyes- Jungkook's stomach clenched when he could see Taehyung mimic that move so perfectly in his memory. Just the tips of his fingers, head tipped back as he shook the strands from his face. "I just see two pups fighting over an omega barely worth the title." The words caught his attention and his eyes darted over to where Solar stood stunned by Taehyung's side. 'An Alpha barely worth the title', that was what Baekhyun had said to her. The slur to himself barely registered as he watched her flinch.

"You...you weren't supposed to be here, yet." Solar had obviously tried to sound confident but the break in her voice was a dead give away to her unease and anxiety. Her bloodied hands curled into tight fists at her sides, Taehyung's hair still wrapped around her knuckles and his blood under her nails.

"'Yet'." The Elder spoke up again, fingers still linked behind his back and face impassive. "Alpha Solar, are you admitting to planning to cheat against Alpha V?" Even now, they couldn't stomach to use his real name, Jungkook thought incredulously. "Not only that, but to conspire with a rogue Alpha is an offense against the society we've worked centuries to build, Solar." The mention of the rogue made the entire room shift as they all turned to look at Baekhyun where he hadn't moved.
