True Alpha (Jikook)

[EDITED : CHAPTER 2]

Jungkook's P.O.V.

After my family's death, news spread like wild fire among the villagers, they all did come to find me but what was the use of that now? my whole family was dead because nobody came to their rescue on time.

My life had become a living hell. I tried my best to cope up with the emptiness and despair, but as time went by, I discovered the harsh reality. Nobody took care of me, there was no one who would make food for me, and no one would bat an eye if I died or stayed healthy. Even if I had constant nightmares, I was alone to fend it off by myself.

Things could have been worse if not for a small cottage my father built next to the farms, a safe house as he would say. There were rations in it and some medical equipment, but that was it. I didn't find any money around, not even clothes or other necessities.

Being an Omega I had a fragile body and that was one of the biggest problems I faced. I couldn't do heavy labor nor could I warm myself in the cold nights. Winter was around the corner and I still had no idea how I was going to survive the ordeal.

There were many nights when I thought I should just..die, but then the thought of Junghyun being disappointed in me for committing suicide would appear in my head. After all, he gave his life away to protect his family... me.

Two weeks passed and I was deathly pale and very sick, barely breathing. There weren't people around who were kind enough to help me, and even though I needed their help, I didn't want it. They were very equally responsible for my family's death.

One thing I had noticed these days were the constant glances some of the village boys threw my way whenever I went out to wash myself in the nearby stream or to just look for fruit. Even though I had a whole stock of grains with me, I didn't know how to cook it nor how to eat it. So my feasts these days were wild berries and some local fruits growing in the forest.

The first week I had chalked it up as just plain curiosity, they must know me since every villager around did, and they must also know that I was an orphan now. But as the second week started, I felt the intensity of their stare becoming a pain to bare, it was as if they were almost..hungry?

I didn't know why it happened but my scent too started to become stronger, so much that I myself could smell it, the change was so sudden that it baffled me. However, the small detail was kept in the back of my mind, since I was trying to focus on keeping myself alive. Each day was a struggle.

And today I came across a stranger, a guy older than me but younger than my parents, he was probably a beta, I could tell by his broad appearance and his sharp golden gaze. He looked at me once and just stopped in his tracks.

I felt myself shiver beneath his heavy stare and knew it wasn't safe for me to be around him. But... he wasn't that threatening.

"Ya an Omega lil one?" he asked me as I stopped trying to look subtle and escape.

"Y-Yes."

He shook his head and sighed, "For a young kid ya are too bold, telling me ya an omega."

His way of speaking was so weird that I felt contradictory. I assumed he was a bad guy but also a good one, because he didn't seem like harming me. He genuinely looked curious for some strange reason.

"I-I don't understand."

"Ya in heat kid? Though ya are too young for that, something triggered it?" he asked me intrigued, while I just frowned. What was he talking about? what was heat?

"Today is c-cold."

He looked at me for a while and then suddenly started to laugh. What was so funny? "W-What?"

He laughed harder, clutching his stomach, but finally calmed down enough to give me a wink, "Ya lucky I am mated, or else I would have taken up on yer offer."

"Huh?"

He sighed, staring at me again. His golden eyes widening as the seconds ticked by, "Ya serious? Ya don't know?"

I gave him a puzzled look in return. "What?"

"Ya poor I could tell by yer clothes, but do ya have any guardian around?" he asked me, finally seating himself cross legged on the ground, not bothered by the dirt.

Seeing his expensive looking golden suit and pants, I concluded that he was rich enough to afford food and also give it away if he wanted to. But he didn't look generous enough to give me free food out of nowhere. In the end we were both strangers.

Also, he wore jewelry, which was intriguing but at the same time very unusual for a male. Males didn't wear such feminine things.

"I am an orphan."

When I told him that, he whistled, a sly smirk spreading across his face. "Ya offering yerself to me again?"

"No...?"

"Let me tell ya something kid," he started, patting the spot next to him in the middle of the walkway. I took it as a sign that he wanted me to sit there, so after a little hesitation, I did. Then he continued, "I think ya should not tell strangers that ya are an omega. Know why?"

I shook my head, "Because omegas are lower class of wolves, they are hunted and not treated well. And above that ya are in heat, ya dunce head shouldn't even leave the premises of yer dwelling if ye want to survive this world."

"W-What is heat?"

"It is a period of time when ya feel horn- I mean when ya want to do stuff and people get attracted to ya for yer scent and ass- I mean yer body and stuff."

I nodded, trying to understand him to the best of my ability. "Is that why many village boys were staring at me?"

He hummed, "Definitely, and ya should stay away from them. Yer scent is too strong for them to just ignore, they will try to harm ya."

"When will it be over?"

"A week."

I gasped, "T-Then how will I-"

"Ya have a safe place or something?"

"Yes, but I can't just stay there, I don't know how to cook, and my parents... m-my p-parents d-died just-"

"Alright kid, no need to panic, just breathe."

I did as I was told, and my racing heart settled to a much slower rhythmic beat. "I can't stay hidden, I pick fruits everyday, I need to take baths too."

"It's survival at the fittest kid, and since yer an omega, yer scent will be strong even when yer not in yer heat. Has anybody ever tried to touch ya inappropriately?"

I tried to think back and remembered this one time when my brother had to pry a guy off of me when he started to sniff at me strangely. Since then my brother always stuck around whenever I tried to sneak out to play.

Then it suddenly clicked. He was constantly glaring around randomly as if fending people off. Was that why he always seemed tense around me?

"Yeah, I guess."

"Take it from me, ya are going to continue to attract that much attention just for yer scent, so be wise and strong. Ya live alone right?"

I nodded at him. He showed a boxy smile, his perfect teeth coming in view. "How bout I help ya with training, ya can be tough and shit- shit, sorry ya are still young- ah, never mind me. I am Taehyung, ya can call me Tae Tae."

"Tae Tae."

He grinned strangely, but it was comic, "Perfect, now let's decide what ya prefer, soft guidance or a harsh one."

"Harsh one..?" I wasn't sure if I was asking or answering.

He looked surprised by my choice, "Ya want a harsh one? Ya head alright?"

I just nodded at him. He was so jumpy, making me confused with the sudden change of topic.

He shrugged, "I will come back in a week, survive till then. Take it as a test, I will just guide ya and leave, ya have to train yerself after that."

"W-Why are you helping me mister?"

He just grinned again, "My hobbie is to help fuc- I mean depressed people, and kick their ass- I mean their bodies into gear."

"You c-curse a lot mister."

"Ya will too, sooner or later, so shut the fuc- ....ah, nevermind."

I nodded as he got up and left, I really wanted him to stay, he was so kind to me, guiding me, I wanted some company, but I knew it was not good to attach myself to some random stranger, so I just let him go. He reminded me of that wolf, his aura was the same threatening one, but strangely very calming. Well... the other wolf was a completely on a different level, why was I even comparing.
