mISFits - BTS OT& x OC - ***ON HOLD***

All for One

"She's mated to you, but she's my mate," Jeongguk grumbled, confused as he paced the room, "I smell it on her, my inner wolf knows it,"

"But she's also my mate," Hoseok looks around he room, "I haven't felt another dragon like her since my mother."

"She made the oath," Yoongi ran his hand through his hair, "In my native tongue, There's no way she would know that unless she was my true mate."

"Yet, I am bound," Namjoon added, "I feel my soul pulled to hers, endlessly."

"It's all of us." Jimin said quietly, afraid to reveal too much of his vision, but needing to settle the confusion running through the house, "I saw while we were out hunting. She's our mate. All of us."

"Impossible!" Jeongguk stopped pacing, staring at the smaller man incredulously, "Shifters mate for life, one mate, one love."

Taehyung nodded his head, "It's true," he pointed at the youngest, "I've never heard of it any other way."

"My kind don't even have mates," Jin added, "Men are killed or exiled, new ones born from the sidhe mounds under the Tree of Life."

"I only know what I saw," Jimin looked at his feet as he sat on the floor, "She is our mate, and she will need our protection." He looked up into Jeongguk's eyes, "You have been there when I nearly...you know. And you stand not ten feet from a man who mated her. Where is your rage? Where is Tae's? Shifters kill first and ask questions later when it comes to their mates, complete or potential." He turned to Namjoon, "Your kind are free about sex, and even love," he pointed out, "But mating another? No fucking way."

"This doesn't make sense," Taehyung nodded, "But his words hold truth. I want to make Cecily mine, but I have no innate urge to make sure she isn't anyone else's."

"Same," Namjoon agreed, nodding, "I am ready to fulfill the ritual, but I'm not filled with pain or heartache to know Yoongi has mated with her. I feel...happy for them?"

"Even me?" Jin pointed to himself, tears filling his big eyes, "Even my mate?"

"First male banshee in centuries," Jimin looked at him with a warm smile, "First mated banshee in all of known history."

"But...why?" Hoseok asked, "This isn't something normal. There's no way."

Yoongi shrugged, "She's an Epoch," he said as if it explained everything, "That in and of itself is enough to make Joon and I attracted. Royal, powerful, full of life and energy." He looked at Jeongguk and Taehyung, "The rest of you are formed from something derived of nature," he guessed, "Being that her powers obviously lie within the same wheelhouse, maybe it's more natural than we think for someone of her caliber to require more than one mate?"

"Do you think that she would be potentially mated if we brought over other shifters or nature creatures?" Taehyung asked, his eyes actually showing sadness and worry.

Jimin sighed, searching his feelings and mind, "Maybe," he put his hands up in confusion, "But my instincts tell me no. There has to be something else at play here. After all, Namjoon's uncle isn't married yet, either, and he's higher ranked. The ritual summoned Joonie, not his uncle, the crowned king."

"I don't know why," Jin recovered from his excitement, "But what Chim is saying feels right."

"Maybe we should have a council with Klarna," Jeongguk suggested, though he visibly cringed at the idea, "See if there is a prophecy or spell or reason that she can ascertain that we can't."

"Possibly," Yoongi agreed, "But for now, I have an overwhelming urge to check on my mate and hold her." He chuckled at himself, "Being in love is going to be a real pain in the ass."
