Tame

I was a very reckless alpha. 

I was snarky, cocky, rude, and abused my status to get whatever I wanted whenever I wanted. 

High school was hard for me; I went to a school where alphas, omegas and betas were sorted into the same classes, which was a very bad idea. There were many alphas who went ahead and mated their omegas way too early, or simply raped them and got them pregnant. Omegas went into heat at school occasionally, which was an absolute nightmare; the same could be said for when some alphas went into rut at school. 

When I turned sixteen, I couldn't control my alpha at all. No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't shake off my natural instincts, which sucked. I managed to sweet talk omegas into a fuck in the bathroom at least once a day. Only the weaker alphas submitted to me. 

My best friend, Jung Hoseok, allowed me to live with him when he graduated high school and got an apartment; my parents considered Hoseok family, so they didn't mind me living with him as long as I behaved myself. 

Despite how reckless I was at school, I always behaved when it came to Hoseok. 

Even though he was a beta, there was something about him that made me want to be good; he made me want to submit. How could a beta have such an effect on an alpha? That question kept me up at night. 

"Hobi-hyung, I'm home!" I called when I came home from school, kicking my shoes off and leaving them by the door. 

"Kitchen, TaeTae!" Hoseok called back, followed by a small child laughing. 

Hoseok's alpha brother, Kim Seokjin, married another alpha a few years ago and adopted the cutest little baby from China. Cheng Cheng always hung around our omega friends when they came over, so we were all pretty certain he'd be an omega. Hoseok often babysat him  whenever Jin or Namjoon had to work. 

I padded into the kitchen, smiling at the sight of Cheng Cheng holding onto the hem of Hoseok's shirt as he made mac and cheese. My best friend's muted peachy scent washed over me the closer I got, and I felt all the tension from my day fall off my shoulders. 

As long as I was with Hoseok, I could drop my 'big tough alpha' demeanor. 

"I'm making Cheng Cheng an early dinner. Jin-hyung asked me to at least get him sleepy before he comes to pick him up," Hoseok said as soon as he detected my green-tea scent. "How was your day?" 

Cheng Cheng squealed in delight when I picked him up, immediately wrapping his arms around my neck in a hug. I ruffled his hair and let him nuzzle me. 

"It was okay, I guess. I'm glad it's Friday," I replied, leaning against the counter to watch Hoseok cook. 

He didn't have any classes today, so he was in a pair of sweatpants I knew he stole from me and one of his t-shirts. His hair was unkept, but he still managed to look nice. 

To me, my beta best friend screamed huggable and authority all at once. I secretly loved it. 

"I'm glad it's Friday, too. When Hyung picks the baby up, we can talk about whatever's on your mind. I know there's something, Taehyungie." 

Fuck. Hoseok knows me so well, but I don't mind so much. 

When he looked up, I smiled and knocked our foreheads for a second; it was something we did.

Jin came by around seven to pick up Cheng Cheng. After that, Hoseok and I moved to his room to lay in his bed and watch movies. 

It was quiet for a while; we cuddled close to each other under the sheets, not even watching whatever movie was playing. Hoseok's hand was on my bare chest, mindlessly drawing shapes over my heart. 

"Taehyung," he said, sitting up against his pillows to look down at me. "Your scent has been off since I mentioned that talk. What's on your mind?" 

I sat up to face him, but ended up playing with the strings on my sweatpants, avoiding his eyes. Some things were so difficult to say to Hoseok, and I just couldn't see his reaction with what I was about to say. 

"I hate being alpha, hyung." 

Hoseok rested a hand on my shoulder, scooting closer to me. "Why, Taehyung?" He didn't sound condescending at all, which made me feel a little bit better. 

"Because being alpha honestly sucks. Rut sucks, I'm so angry all the time, everyone wants me to claim them, I can't stop fucking people... People expect so much from me, yet they give me whatever I want whenever I want. It's so annoying!" 

Hoseok wrapped his arms around my neck, resting his head on my shoulder. He always did that when my distressed scent made him upset; it usually ended up calming both of us down. 

"They only do that because alphas can impregnate omegas and help our kind grow. I can't get pregnant or get anyone else pregnant; betas are sterile, therefore no one wants us. You're the top of our society, while I'm at the bottom. It's just how it is." 

I kept forgetting that Jin was the only person in Hoseok's family that loved him; their parents were alphas and only wanted alphas in the family. When Hoseok presented as beta, they started to hate him. Only Jin ever told him he was proud of him and that he loved him. 

"But you don't have to go through rut or heat, and you can actually control yourself. I just want all my alpha urges to disappear," I whined, wrapping my arms around my best friend, pulling him even closer to me. 

He chuckled and patted my back, lightly pecking my shoulder. "Taehyung, I think you just want to be domesticated. You need someone to turn you into a docile alpha, that's all." 

Of course I wanted to be domesticated. I didn't want to be the reckless asshole I usually was; I wanted someone to tell me no. 

The only person who has ever told me no is Hoseok. He can fight me off, and that fact makes me want to submit to him only. It was a turn-on and reassurance all at once. 

"Hoseok-hyung, you know I like you, don't you?" I said finally, looking deep into his eyes. 

He didn't seem surprised at all. In fact, he smiled and pulled me into his lap, eyes soft with love. "Of course I know. Whenever you're around me, your scent gets warm, kind of like actual green tea. Whenever I'm not around, Jungkook says you smell more minty than tea-ish. I realized how you smell around me is your in-love scent. You love me, Taehyung." 

I melted against him, loving the feeling of his nails lightly grazing my back. His scent overpowered mine and I allowed myself to drown in it. I didn't even have to say anything; Hoseok knew that I knew he was right. 

Finally, he hugged me tight, pressing his lips to the side of my head. "I love you too, Taehyung. I love you a lot." 

My heart felt so light, I was afraid it would fly out of my chest. I nuzzled his neck, right where his scent gland was, and wrapped myself around him even tighter. 

He giggled and forced me to look at him, then sealed our lips in a deep kiss. I could have kissed him forever, but he pulled away and smirked at me. 

"I'll make you my submissive alpha, baby. I'll tame you."
