Chapter Text
Jimin felt his entire body freeze up, taking in the strong odor of another omega, the entire apartment swimming with the mingling scent of someone that was not supposed to be there.
He could hear the distinctive sounds quiet laughter and the faint hum of music, mixing into the thick air that had settled all over his home; a small place, but Jimin’s all the same. He was surprised when he was met with Jeongguk’s enticing scent, rich and eager, talking to some faceless omega in his room. Jimin’s omega bristled at the sudden intrusion, feeling the comfort of his home become tainted with the scent of another omega that wasn’t his own.
An unexpected feeling…
Jimin was in no position to really gripe about Jeongguk and his choice of partners, but the young alpha always took care of his needs outside of their shared home. However, this was almost a sort of disrespect for Jimin, feeling his apartment getting violated by another omega wishing to press claim of something already owned.
What was Jeongguk thinking?
This was Jimin’s territory.
Territory?
So, despite the current activity taking place in the privacy of Jeongguk’s room, a rather irritated omega turned back towards the front door, swinging it open once more. Only this time, Jimin slammed the door so fiercely, the sound sliced through their laughter and murmurs, bringing an abrupt, definitive silence. Walls vibrated as the sound bounced off them, and Jimin could sense his own scent rising sharply.
A different kind of scent…
Normally he wouldn’t act in such a form or fashion, already feeling a good bit confused as to why his omega wolf was suddenly frothing at the mouth at something as trivial as Jeongguk having someone over to hang out.
Jimin almost gripped his chest, filled with a sensation he had never experienced before in his life, like he was being torn apart and that he should act now while the other omega was still close by.
The omega was irrationally furious, something he needed to stop.
But he couldn’t quite help it, it was a first, and the only place Jimin felt genuinely at ease, was his home, and for some reason, all he could think about was that another omega was there to threaten his sanctuary.
As he made his way down the hall, he could make out frantic murmurs, their scents spiking in firm alert. Jimin couldn’t really blame them, because something beneath his skin began to bubble and burn, adding to his omega’s frustration which then added to his fierce scent.
Wanting to recollect himself and cool down, Jimin made his way to the kitchen, digging through a cabinet for a glass. Jaw clenched and eyes hard, he moved towards the faucet, a trembling hand turning on the water. Already his heart began to thunder profusely within his chest upon hearing the door to Jeongguk’s door open.
He wasn’t much for confrontation, but already the adrenaline was coursing through his veins, seeping deep into his bones. And when the unknown omega finally showed face, Jimin shot his penetrating gaze towards her, meeting her frightened orbs. She was notably flushed, clearly embarrassed, cheeks as red as her ears.
Go away…
It was clear that he had interrupted the pair, because Jeongguk suddenly appeared behind her, seeming quite put off, but pursed his lips together. The air turned instantly sour, fitting well with Jimin’s current state of mood as he stepped towards the edge of the kitchen.
As the female omega passed, she threw Jimin a hesitant look, and something deep in Jimin’s gut locked up tight, instinct spilling towards the surface in an alarming rate.
A deep, resonating hiss tore from the depths of Jimin’s throat, a tone that dripped with challenge and evident displeasure, his scent only thickening.
Go away!
And the omega lurched forward, arm at full swing as he viciously attempted to strike the other omega.
There was a harsh grip on Jimin’s shoulder, followed by another firm hand stopping his attack, as the other omega squeaked in fear and desperation, scurrying out the door before Jimin could get his hands on the unwelcomed omega threatening his home.
The door closed rather loudly, leaving behind an uncomfortable echo that filtered through the apartment, before fading into a pained silence. Before Jimin had even realized it, he finally registered the fact that his chest was heaving, blood rushing through his ears as he continued to let out enraged hisses at the door.
“Jimin…?”
His name felt like a trigger, Jimin’s omega suddenly presenting Jeongguk with a frigid look that had the alpha stepping back rather defensively.
“How could you!” Jimin’s shrill cry cut through the air so furiously, that Jeongguk didn’t even have a chance to retreat into some defensive footing.
“Jimin, what…?” The obvious sputter of words was not missed by Jimin, but even if the alpha’s words were full of haste and incoherent, it did nothing to lessen the brittle anger that had blossomed within the omega.
They were roommates and Jimin knew that Jeongguk had just as much right to the apartment as Jimin did, but it’s nothing he’s ever felt before. Currently, the awful taste of betrayal and disappointment formed unwanted bile in his throat, his form shuddering in physical annoyance and sickness. Jimin simply couldn’t contain everything that he was feeling, his omega taking the reins for everything, both physically and emotionally.
His scent soon turned into that of uncontrollable distress, something that had Jimin reeling in both fear and incomprehensible confusion – what was going on? Why was he acting like this, what had suddenly gotten into his omega? This wasn’t normal, this wasn’t normal at all…
Jimin’s omega then wailed, his wolf choking up and becoming inconsolable.
The stress signals that he was sending towards Jeongguk’s own alpha, were certainly taking a toll on the younger, seeing the way he tried to reach for the omega in a way that seemed to try and comfort him. Yet, Jimin felt himself recoil from the outstretched hands, letting his glass finally slip from trembling fingers, and listening to it collide and crash against the floor. Glittering pieces of glass spilled across the water that now decorated the smooth surface, but Jimin couldn’t bring himself to care.
He was already dashing away, his heart beating painfully, furiously.
It felt like his ears were filled with rushing water, Jeongguk’s surprised cry getting muffled as Jimin sought the comfort of his room. With a strangled sob, he found himself shutting the door to his room, and locking it, struggling to breathe as he stumbled towards the bed.
Everything was so irrational.
Jimin always took pride in being a person that was full of understanding, helping those who needed it and whatnot. He cared for all his friends, was always outspoken and outgoing, even with Jeongguk, a friend he met in the university.
So, acting out on instinct and against his human nature, really put him in a confusing state of despair, his wolf agonizing over something that wasn’t any of his business. Wanting nothing more than to write everything off as his omega being so dramatic, was putting it mildly. Jimin now felt humiliated by his own reaction and the way his pheromones tried to dice away at the female omega’s lingering scent.
This was so out of the ordinary, something he couldn’t quite explain. This was not normal behavior for omegas. Right? What was even happening? Why was his omega wolf suddenly flaring up – this was not something Jimin had ever had to go through in his life at all.
He was scared. Distressed and scared.
Even as eyes stung with frustration, Jimin fought with every fiber of his body to erase the throbbing distress that suddenly made his entire form and room reek, calling for the alpha that was on the other side of the door.
Wheezing slightly, he cried into his pillow, more out of frustration than anything else, especially at himself.
Thoughts slowly swam in his mind, making his heart plummet at the revelation.
Did his wolf unconsciously claim Jeongguk’s alpha without Jimin even realizing?
Again, he never had to deal with any of Jeongguk’s partners within his own home; Jeongguk would come home smelling like different omegas whenever he went out on dates, and he wasn’t one to really question it. He was an alpha in his prime, oozing with pheromones that complimented his wolf. What omega wouldn’t want him? What alpha wouldn’t take an omega offering itself to him?
Still, even with all of that happening, Jimin always found comfort in his home, in the way his own scent would eventually overwhelm and put out any intruding smell that dared to infiltrate his home.
But today…
Today was the day Jeongguk caused an unnatural reaction within Jimin, startling the omega down to his core at his own actions.
“Oh my God…” Jimin couldn’t help but quietly whine as he pieced everything together.
His wolf had claimed Jeongguk and Jimin had no idea such a thing even occurred. That’s why he felt like he was on the brink of pure, suffocating pain; because Jeongguk had unknowingly severed something that he never asked for.
None of it was Jeongguk’s fault…
But what was this feeling? Was such a reaction even possible to begin with?
How could this be?
When Jimin finally emerged from his room, he was patting his sore and puffy eyes, knowing well that proof of his crying was not going to go away anytime soon. Still, he had to face reality and offer Jeongguk some sort of apology for his unnerving reaction and the unfairness of everything that had occurred thus far.
He still had a lot of questions, especially lost at the fact that his omega would react in such a way. Maybe he needed some sort of specialist. Their wolves were supposed to be dormant, so why was Jimin’s omega suddenly rippling with so much life?
But as he reached the kitchen, and orbs fell over Jeongguk’s sheepish form, Jimin couldn’t help but be reminded of what he had encountered close to half an hour ago. Images from earlier flashed across his mind, forcing out a whimper from his omega before a quiet choke left Jimin’s system. Flushing with embarrassment, he watched in dismay as Jeongguk looked up from the floor, seeming quite on edge and physically attentive.
He was crouched on the kitchen floor, awkwardly balancing a broom and dustpan, and it was evidence enough he was trying to clean up Jimin’s mess. As if he couldn’t feel any more embarrassed, Jimin parted his lips, though, was not prepared for the absence of his own voice.
“Are you okay?” Jeongguk’s voice drifted, pulling Jimin from his tiresome thoughts, only urging his heart to ache even further.
It was obvious for Jeongguk to be worried; they were friends and roommates after all, but everything seemed so off and awkward, that Jimin wasn’t sure what was going to even happen now. Still, he couldn’t just stand there and not answer the young alpha.
Jimin croaked rather uncertainly, “Yeah, um, I’m sorry. I don’t know what got into me…”
Dodging Jeongguk’s gaze, Jimin moved towards the kitchen, shoulders trembling slightly as he tried to overcome the sickening feeling in his stomach. A prolonged silence soon followed, Jimin straining an ear as he searched for another glass. As he sought to relieve the sudden dryness of his throat, he heard Jeongguk return to his task of cleaning, and Jimin couldn’t even speak up to tell the alpha he didn’t have to clean his mess.
But it was a struggle, a huge, torturous struggle.
It was as if a huge, gaping hole had appeared between himself and Jeongguk, threatening to swallow them both if they continued to fully avoid the elephant in the room. Well, he couldn’t really pin it all on the alpha, he wasn’t to blame for anything, really; it’s not like they established some rule about not bringing dates to their shared home. For all Jimin could gather, Jeongguk was in his right.
Water couldn’t even wash away the unsettling feeling in his throat, feeling himself grow even more sick.
Teetering on the edge of helplessness, a wave of nausea hit him, his scent spiking once more without meaning to.
Trying to gulp another mouthful of water, Jimin ducked his head, breathing through his nose, wishing to gather his composure. Suddenly, however, he felt warm hands grip his shoulders, before stroking the length of his arms. The omega was so out of his senses, he hadn’t realized Jeongguk’s proximity, nor was prepared for the warmth of his touch.
As if on fire, Jimin jerked away from the alpha, noting Jeongguk’s equally bothered face.
“What are you doing?” Jimin’s words out before he could stop them and Jeongguk seemed thoroughly put off by the question, a cold silence settling between them and Jimin opted to step away. He was hoping to curve around Jeongguk to get away from the alpha, but Jeongguk was already stepping within his path, forcing Jimin to collide against his firm chest.
Breathing out hurriedly, the alpha reached for the omega once more, taking hold of his elbows, “I’m sorry, hyung. I shouldn’t have brought anyone over; I should have asked.”
“T-That’s not really…” Not really what? Not really the present issue? Clearly it was an issue for Jimin’s wolf, so how was he going to explain to Jeongguk that it wasn’t his fault that the omega had unconsciously claimed him, only now realizing when he felt betrayed by another omega’s presence?
“Is it my scent?” Jeongguk seemed so genuinely worried, it made Jimin want to cry once more, and before he could protest, the alpha was already pulling at Jimin’s hands, the omega having been oblivious to the fact.
He tried to shake off the feeling of warmth that came from Jeongguk’s firm and callused palms and fingers, but it was no use, his wolf was already eager for more contact. Jimin felt so lost and confused, unable to believe such a thing was happening, and he didn’t even know how to even properly respond to it all.
Before he knew it, Jeongguk was carefully guiding Jimin towards the living room couch, helping him sit down, before the alpha took a seat beside him. The omega was stiff, both unsure and a bit unnerved as Jeongguk’s hands stroked over Jimin’s trembling wrists. “I’m so sorry, hyung, I’m really sorry. I didn’t stop to think about how you might feel with another omega here.”
Sucking in his breath, Jimin shuddered at the thought, before he shook his head. “No, Jeongguk, that’s all on me. This is your place too, I guess I just got too comfortable and felt threatened over my home.” He only hoped Jeongguk would accept that excuse and not dig deep further into the situation.
To Jimin’s discomfort, however, he watched with dread as Jeongguk’s brows knitted together in confusion. “But you seemed so stressed and I felt horrible and so restless. It was as if I was suddenly struck with this feeling of complete helplessness.”
Jimin’s eyes widened as he watched the alpha take one of his hands, pressing Jimin’s palm against the front of his chest, fingers pressing into his shirt. Beneath the warmth of cloth and skin, the omega was able to feel the way the alpha’s heart was beating profusely, almost erratically.
“Jeongguk…”
“I don’t know how to explain this, but you feel it, don’t you? The way my heart is beating, as if I’m about to go into some fight.”
The omega tried to pull away, struggling with his words, “I some space to think…”
“Hyung, please.” Jeongguk emphasized the word, making Jimin halt in surprise as he took in Jeongguk’s desperate and crestfallen face. Seeming so visibly torn, all Jimin could do was swallow thickly, a lump appearing at the end of his throat, making it hard for him to reply.
When there was no answer from Jimin’s end, Jeongguk seemingly continued, “I’ve never seen you so distressed before, it’s bothering me even now. I can smell it on you, and it’s making me feel irritated at something that isn’t even there.”
The alpha’s face turned rather grim, scooting a bit closer and a kind of movement Jimin’s sharp gaze easily captured, moving away on instinct. He didn’t miss the way Jeongguk’s eyes flashed rather painfully, and Jimin wanted to kick himself for being rather inconsiderate.
Before he could voice his thoughts, his eyes widened considerably when Jeongguk suddenly reached up to brush the tips of his fingers against Jimin’s neck. Flinching, Jimin held his breath when Jeongguk’s palm pressed flush against Jimin’s throat. The alpha’s thumb gently stroked over Jimin’s soft flesh, smoothing over it, before trailing those same fingers up towards Jimin’s very own scent gland.
The alpha’s eyes grew distant, pulling away from Jimin’s own curious orbs to follow the path created by his fingers.
A jolt of electricity shot through him in that instant, suddenly filled with an unease that made his very bones quiver.
Stuff like that was always a lot more intimate than kissing alone, and the fact that Jeongguk was taking the liberty to do so without stopping to think about what it was that he was doing, had Jimin shivering.
But he couldn’t bring himself to stop the alpha, taking in the way Jeongguk’s face morphed into something heavily focused. Dark, beautiful pools of brown had Jimin whimpering softly as he took in the Jeongguk’s concentrated look but swallowed when the alpha immediately became attentive due to the sound. The alpha’s deep gaze flickered towards Jimin’s own, as if taking in every detail of the omega’s reaction.
Jimin witnessed that change in Jeongguk’s eyes, how they had gone genuine worry, to something that ran much deeper. It was as if something else was solidifying itself with the alpha, and all Jimin could do, was bite back the urge to whimper slowly as Jeongguk’s hues continued to darken.
And now the alpha was touching the omega, and for some reason, the fact that Jeongguk’s touch was dancing over his scent gland, had his omega preening.
But why?
As if on cue, he gently pressed into Jimin’s scent gland, feeling his pheromones become triggered as he tried to bite back his sigh. Jeongguk’s fingers suddenly felt hot on his skin, as if he were burning Jimin with his touch alone; and for the first time since the fiasco, he felt his omega become shockingly pliant beneath the alpha’s hands.
And Jeongguk looked utterly mesmerized, as if seeing the omega in a new light, unable to ignore the way his eyes widened as Jimin allowed his wolf to take charge and tilt his head backwards, exposing more of his neck and flesh. Just moments before, he had felt like vomiting, feeling so lost and disconnected from himself and even more so in the presence of the young alpha.
But right now, all rational thought he had, had been shot out the window, leaving behind an omega that preened with the physical attention that the alpha was gifting him with. A cynical sense of pride and satisfaction coursed through Jimin’s veins, happy to have the alpha here, prodding at his scent gland, rather than in the company of another, raunchy omega.
Pheromones used to entice an alpha even further, were released by Jimin’s omega, amplifying his scent and turning it sweeter, strengthening his aroma of tantalizing berries begging to be sucked.
This is different. This is new…
And judging by the way the alpha’s own scent thickened with evident interest, had Jimin trembling with renewed anticipation, feeling heat prickle over his skin and seeping deep down into his core.
But at the same time, he knew it wasn’t right; he couldn’t just pull the alpha in because his omega was begging to claim and mark what it now considered his. It wasn’t right to tease and beckon the alpha with physical interest, especially when Jeongguk was still visibly struggling to figure out whether to take the invitation or press for more questions.
The ache from before soon settled within him once more, tainting his scent and making his eyes water with frustration.
He wanted this alpha. And honestly, he’s probably wanted Jeongguk for the longest time, too.
And he hadn’t even realized it until another omega had tried to secure her claim over his home and the alpha, as well.
“What am I doing wrong?” Jeongguk sounded desperate, his alpha clearly agitated and stressing out because of how Jimin’s scent matched the omega’s rising distress at the whole thing. He could understand Jeongguk’s own anguish, having the omega cry out through distress signals and not knowing how to calm the omega.
For an alpha, the pain was just as physical.
But his words struck a nerve and Jimin cursed at himself for letting a tear fall. “It’s not you, Jeongguk, it’s me. I think…” He exhaled brokenly, feeling shame wash over him. “I think my omega claimed you in a way, but I don’t understand. I don’t know what’s happening, Jeongguk, this isn’t normal. I don’t know why my wolf is acting like this. They’re supposed to be dormant. They’re supposed to…” The omega choked softly, his heart nearly giving out.
So stupid…
How could he let this happen? Jimin couldn’t even look at the alpha’s face, didn’t even want to face the possibility of disgust or rejection, but the Jeongguk deserved the truth; who was Jimin to keep that from him?
Hearing Jeongguk suck in his breath sharply in shock, had Jimin biting his lip in unease, unable to refrain himself from letting his tears fall, because he was just so tired, a numbness beginning to settle over him. It felt like heavy stones were making his heart sink lower and lower, a new pain adding emotional inflictions.
But before he could fully delve and suffocate under the weight of his turmoil, Jimin suddenly felt himself being crushed, suddenly engulfed by heat and the alpha’s dizzying scent of pinewood. Gasping for air, Jimin’s mind whirled, struggling for footing when arms dragged the omega into Jeongguk’s embrace.
The alpha’s hot breath tickled Jimin’s neck, crushing the omega harder against him and forcing Jimin to gasp slightly. His mind was fuzzy, feeling the strength of the alpha’s grip, how it felt to be pressed into his powerful chest, face digging into his shoulder. A shaky breath left Jimin’s soft lips, closing his eyes despite the circumstance, and taking in Jeongguk’s rich scent.
“Jimin.” Jeongguk panted, the heat of his words burned over the omega’s flesh, feeling the drag of the alpha’s hands as he stroked over the length of Jimin’s back. Tips of fingers caressed the omega’s spine as Jeongguk proceeded to clutch him desperately. “I’m feeling the same, ever since your omega cried out to me, it was as if it awakened something in me. As if my alpha is trying to take over, trying to get to you…”
“What…?” Jimin suddenly blinked in genuine confusion, before he yelped in surprise. Jeongguk had said nothing more, hoisting the omega up to his feet, pulling him away from the couch as he pulled back to gift the omega with a look of fiery determination.
“What are you and your omega doing to us, Jimin? What did you do? My alpha won’t let you go, it refuses to let you go.” Jeongguk whispered, sounding rather torn himself.
Even as he spoke, words laced with disbelief, Jeongguk didn’t hesitate to make Jimin buckle as he went ahead and reached to fully lift the omega up into his arms, feet getting swept up from under him. At this, Jimin’s heart went into overdrive, slamming viciously against his chest and unable to calm it down. Wrapping his arms around Jeongguk to hold on to dear life, the alpha didn’t waste a breath of a second as he quickly moved them out of the living room.
Already, Jimin felt like he was going to suffocate with all the heat that was suddenly nestled between them, the air turning stuffy and difficult to deal with as Jeongguk grunted slightly upon shouldering the door to his room open.
And Jimin squirmed.
“Not here…” The omega wasn’t sure what Jeongguk was thinking but if there was something that Jimin certainly didn’t want, was to be in the same room the alpha had been sharing with that random omega earlier. Her scent still coated the area, was strong surrounding the crumpled sheets that made Jeongguk’s bed.
“It’s okay.” The alpha tried to soothe, but Jimin could feel his omega becoming restless, agitated at the smell of another omega infiltrating his senses and turning his own scent sour with displeasure. He couldn’t grapple with any form of understanding at Jeongguk’s actions, his omega whining when the alpha gently set him down against the mattress.
“We didn’t do anything, I promise.” Jeongguk quickly began, slowly sitting right next to Jimin. “She was just someone who recently asked me out on a date to get to know each other. I just invited her over to listen to some music and talk about interests.”
Jimin didn’t want to hear his, “You don’t have to explain yourself to me, Jeongguk…”
The alpha wasted no breath, “Yes I do. Even now, I can see how tortured your omega is. I can see just how fragile this made you. Like you’ll fall into pieces at any moment.”
Again, tears prickled the corner of Jimin’s eyes, something setting in his heart that squeezed it painfully. “I already told you, Jeongguk, I don’t know why this is happening.”
Jimin's hands trembled, his mind going wild as he tried to piece together everything that had just occurred. He had no idea how to even react, confusion muddling his thoughts as he struggled to catch his breath. He didn't know what had gotten into him; Jeongguk appeared to be in the same boat because he was just as frazzled, large, doe-eyes seeming lost and confused.
His throat felt incredibly dry, but the omega forced out a croak, "Jeongguk...what's happening to us?"
“I don’t know. I’m so sorry, Jimin. My alpha, he won’t stop…”
Jeongguk carefully hovered over Jimin as the omega slowly fell back into the mattress, barely a few inches apart while the omega’s eyes grew wide, utterly lost in what to do and whatnot. Tensing up, he subtly licked his bottom lip as the alpha caged Jimin’s legs between his knees, keeping the omega from bolting if such a thought ever crossed his mind. However, it didn’t matter because Jimin found himself completely transfixed as he watched in disbelief at the way the alpha suddenly began to openly growl.
But it wasn’t some immediate threat, no, this was utterly different. The sound was soft and inviting, as if the alpha were trying to coax out his omega.
And it was working.
Never did he think he would be experiencing this; pinned down by the alpha and forced to watch him suddenly remove his shirt, revealing powerful chest and shoulders, a torso with a trimmed waist and fine lines tracing ridges of muscle. Because Jeongguk was a workout kind of guy, and even if he hid his body beneath oversized shirts, there was no hiding it all away now. What the fuck was the young alpha even thinking, and why was he undressing himself; Jimin honestly felt like he was going to pass out.
“Why are you taking your clothes off, are you serious?” Jimin tried to sound firm, but all he could manage were tiny whimpers, choking up at the end when the alpha suddenly leaned downwards, placing his forearms on either side of Jimin’s head.
Noses were barely touching, tips brushing against each other in an agonizing manner. He could feel Jeongguk’s words tickle the omega’s parted lips, seeming quite engrossed. Still, Jeongguk seemed like he made his mind up about something, something heated taking hold of his beautiful, brown hues.
“Scent me.” The alpha growled, making Jimin’s heart seize in his chest, knocking the wind right out of him as he witnessed the way Jeongguk exposed the juncture of his neck. The omega couldn’t begin to fully understand the weight of the alpha’s words, something catching in his throat as he fought with all his might to not give in to his omega. His wolf was immensely pleased with the way Jeongguk was offering Jimin to scent and claim him far more intimately.
It was overwhelming.
He shouldn’t but he really wanted to. So badly.
Jimin wanted to erase whatever was left of the female omega’s ugly stench. He wanted to soak Jeongguk’s sheets with the smell of him, to mark what belonged to him. And his body burned, trying to fight off that inexplicable urge to bury his face in Jeongguk’s powerful neck.
“Such a beautiful omega.”
Jimin’s breath hitched, his wolf releasing a pathetic whine of satisfaction; the praise did wonders to his wolf. And there was no escaping the alpha’s heavy stare, eyes burning through the omega as if seeing all of him. Jimin was both exhilarated and unnerved.
“Jeongguk...”
“I never realized what was going on, Jimin, not even with me. Not until today, at least, when I felt your distress. It felt like it was physically hurting me, and I couldn’t do anything to make you feel okay again.”
Jimin stilled, gazing at Jeongguk’s tortured orbs, seeming so beside himself with frustration, the same kind that Jimin had been dealing with since the little fiasco from earlier. It was as if his omega’s anguish had triggered something in Jeongguk as well, making his alpha crazy with a need to calm the omega down.
He had seen it in his gaze.
Something was different now. Something unknown had been unleashed.
And now…
“Scent me.”
Another invitation, and one that had Jimin aching to accept. His omega was dying to relish in the idea of claiming the alpha in such a way. It was so tempting, enough to make Jimin moan softly, before arms reached up to glide around the alpha’s neck. At the touch, Jeongguk was quick to act, pressing himself against Jimin fully, crushing the omega with the weight of his body. But Jimin was too far gone to care, having nosed about Jeongguk’s neck once he lifted himself up slightly lips only a hair away from each other.
But he gave into his omega, burying his face in the alpha’s neck, nose brushing over his scent gland; wanting to sweeten the air around them and wipe away the other omega’s presence completely. Unconsciously, the omega licked over the Jeongguk’s scent gland, mouthing it just enough to have the alpha male shuddering delightfully above him.
It was an empowering feeling and he wanted to drown in the musk that Jeongguk was offering.
Jimin was almost at a lost, with himself and with Jeongguk as a whole. So, it seemed that the alpha was experiencing the same thing, caught off guard by something that transpired between them, raw and sensitive from being left untouched for the longest time. Unbeknownst to them both, it seemed like their wolves acted on their own accord, stimulating each other in a sense that lingered on claim and possession.
Jimin never had to deal with one of Jeongguk’s dates before, so sensing him with another omega tore at his wolf immensely; on the alpha’s end, in no way did Jeongguk ever had to witness Jimin in such a state of distress before, forcing his wolf to react in such a desperate and protective matter.
Despite the civilized society they lived in, nothing was ever going to erase those primitive instincts that harbored within their wolves. Just because Jeongguk and Jimin followed certain rules that made them cling to their humane side, didn’t mean that their wolves had to adhere to such things. In the end, there was no fighting against what they really were.
But even then, wolves have been known to be dormant for centuries.
What Jeongguk and Jimin were suddenly experiencing, wasn’t normal. This was an awakening.
And it’s not like Jimin had the mind to care much about anything else except for the alpha that was currently dripping in the omega’s scent and burning away whatever other scent that lingered in the room in that moment.
The air around them was ardent and pheromone infused, making the heat escalate into something that was almost too much; addictive but searing them both.
Heat licked at Jimin’s skin, feeling it pool towards the pit of his stomach, before reaching even lower. And with a sudden need for some kind of friction, the omega instinctively rolled his hips upwards, moaning heatedly as the first dews of slick began to drizzle from his hole, making Jimin squirm slightly as the fire he was currently feeling drifted towards his cock.
There was no time to feel abashed or embarrassed by it, noticing the way that Jeongguk’s gaze darkened after he caught the smell of the omega’s sweet-smelling slick, immediately pulling back so that he could better position their bodies. Shifting slowly, he placed himself between the omega’s legs, which Jimin wrapped around his waist and pulling him closer.
Another grind to his hips, had Jeongguk groaning softly as Jimin gasped at the sensation, feeling himself grow harder after realizing that Jeongguk was in the same state as he was. Despite the clothing barrier, it still felt so good and electrifying; a pleasurable throb urging Jimin to continue with his ministrations.
It felt a bit uncomfortable being wet and still in his pants, wanting nothing more than to slip them offer and relieve himself from the tightness of the fabric. He could even see the wet spot on Jeongguk’s own sweat bottoms, the tip of his cock probably dripping with pre-cum as he joined Jimin in grinding their hips together.
The omega’s fingers kissed over Jeongguk’s torso, trying to wrap his mind around everything that had spontaneously occurred, but it was difficult to focus on anything else that wasn’t the way their bodies thrust against each other with fervor. At this rate, Jimin wasn’t going to last long, not with the way the friction was delivered in rapid, uneven movements.
Jeongguk drove his hips hard and deep, forcing Jimin’s own into the mattress and making the omega to groan in gratified pleasure, arching slowly into the alpha as he felt Jeongguk grip his arms tightly. There was no denying the fact that they both fell into an erotic mindset, their wolves craving each other so intensely, there was no hope of pulling away now.
Raising his hands, the omega dragged his fingers through the alpha’s hair, feeling slick drench at his hole as it clenched around nothing as Jeongguk mercilessly continued to thrust his hips as if he were fucking the omega into the mattress despite the restraint of their clothes.
But Jimin didn’t care anymore, now when his mind was swimming with lust and being held hostage with a need for the alpha to go rougher, his omega wishing he were getting stuffed with alpha’s thick cock.
There was a pressure that began to build within Jimin, tightening and coiling up rather unbearably.
All the while, Jeongguk grunted out lustfully, sliding his rough hands beneath Jimin’s arms and gripping the omega’s shoulders harshly, the tips of his fingers digging deep into the omega’s skin. Jimin felt Jeongguk’s hot breath on his neck when the alpha buried his face into it, immediately on his flesh and forcing him to gasp loudly in gratification.
Fuck Jeongguk felt incredibly hard, slamming his hips and rolling them against Jimin’s aching sex, throbbing in a delicious manner that had the omega wishing the alpha would just rip off his clothes and just bury himself in his tightness.
But Jimin was close and Jeongguk’s panting heightened, his breath coming out in hot spurts.
This was an unplanned situation with a means to get off, too far gone in the ache that fueled their wolves to take part in such a heated act.
Both were desperate for that release, Jimin could feel his own as he tried to keep up with Jeongguk’s movements, his cock on the urge of bursting.
But even in his haze of sexual desire, Jimin dipped his hand between their rocking bodies, nearly gasping when he felt Jeongguk’s hardness against his hand, making his heart shoot through the roof in just imagining how it would feel to be taken fully by it. Jeongguk faltered and growled dangerously low at the omega’s interruption, making Jimin shiver.
But Jeongguk didn’t stop, seeking to cum regardless of Jimin’s treading fingers. “Jeongguk…” Jimin sounded breathless, hoping the alpha heard him. “I don’t want to come in my pants, please.”
He was so close and if Jeongguk continued to recklessly dry hump him over his clothes in such a frantic manner, it wouldn’t be long before he made a mess; pretty dumb of him to worry about all of that now, considering that his slick already had his underwear drenched.
However, Jeongguk spared Jimin a second for him to fumble with the front of his pants, undoing the zipper and sighing when his cock was free of the pressure that had everything feeling strained. Meanwhile, Jeongguk dipped his own hand into his sweat bottoms, the veins in his arms looking so fucking hot as he pulled at his own erection.
Jimin almost choked at the sheer size of the alpha’s cock, signaling to the omega that the alpha was close to his own release. The omega had to gnaw at his own lips, taking in the way Jeongguk’s cock was throbbed, his tip angry and read and on the verge of bursting with his seed.
But just having Jimin freeing up his own cock didn’t seem to satisfy the alpha, his eyes clouded over with an intensity that knocked the breath out of the omega once more. He didn’t fight the alpha when he tugged at Jimin’s pants, moving off him to pull them down to his knees with ease.
With his pants out of the way (well, not entirely) the scent of his slick only grew thicker, more potent as Jeongguk quickly pinned his legs together, lifting them up properly and dragging Jimin away from the pillows and fully onto his back.
Jimin’s chest constricted with excitement as the alpha’s muscular arms wrapped around the omega’s legs, holding him tightly as the Jeongguk shifted to a better position on his knees.
And not long after that, the omega whined when he felt the alpha’s cock prod at his thighs, before pushing forward and falling back into frantic thrusts, Jimin’s slick being the perfect form of lubrication needed to make the slide easier.
Never in a million years did he ever picture himself on the alpha’s bed, getting his thighs fucked by an alpha that was both a friend and roommate.
However, the omega’s heat-induced mind couldn’t care much about all that, not when he was crying out pleasurably at the way Jeongguk’s hardened length perfectly slid over Jimin’s aching cock, stroking over his balls feverishly as the wetness of his slick amplified the sound of skin smacking against skin, making everything sound so fucking dirty, but still fed into the fire in Jimin’s blood.
Jeongguk’s fingers dug so harshly into Jimin’s thighs, the omega could still feel the pain even through all his mindless lust, and if the alpha didn’t let up, he was surely going to see bruising later.
But Jeongguk didn’t seem to care much except the way he was pounding into the omega’s thighs, clearly lost in all the wonderful sensations that had Jimin whimpering loudly, voice thick with need. The alpha wasn’t shy about vocalizing his pleasure either, his groans only getting louder as the intensity of their passion rose to the extreme.
“Alpha…” Jimin clenched the sheets around them with his fists as he couldn’t take much more, keeping himself from touching as the alpha continued to pound into him, seeming like he was about to tip over the edge.
And in that precise moment, Jimin felt something tighten, before he was hit with an incredible force of pleasure, vision spotting unexpectantly as his body rocked with a powerful orgasm that had rocked through his body so deliciously, he bucked desperately against the alpha as he felt his tip explode with strings of hot, white seed that struck his front, messing up his shirt in the process.
While he rode out his release, Jeongguk only seemed to grow more desperate, his thrusts erratic and locking into some sort of frenzy. Not yet done, Jimin winced at the oversensitivity of his cock, but Jeongguk was relentless, and despite the discomfort, Jimin wanted the alpha to mark him up with his own cum.
“Fuck!” Jeongguk hissed, slamming his hips forwards and pushing the tip of his cock far past Jimin’s thighs and releasing his load all over Jimin’s chest, painting across his shirt much like Jimin had done before. Holding on for dear life, the omega whine painfully when Jeongguk’s grip turned death-like, holding on to the omega as Jeongguk groaned out in a deep, penetrating tone that had Jimin trembling again.
Flushed and out of breath, Jimin watched as Jeongguk released his hold on the omega’s legs, setting them down carefully, before he moved away from the omega. Silently, he gazed on as Jeongguk gently rubbed at his cock but stiffened when the alpha immediately froze.
Something in Jeongguk’s scent changed dramatically, worrying the omega as he tried to gather his bearings, all while the alpha was suddenly jumping off the bed in lightening speed. Jimin couldn’t possibly begin to understand what it was that suddenly had the alpha charging out of the room, his hands grasping at his groin.
Honestly, Jimin would have been the first to run out of the room like hell on wheels, even if his mind still felt fuzzy from, he had just experienced with the alpha. But right now, judging by the horrified expression that had settled on Jeongguk’s face, Jimin couldn’t help but follow the alpha down the hall and to the bathroom.
He barely made it in time to keep the bathroom door from slamming shut, but even then, Jeongguk struggled to lock Jimin out. Confused out of his mind as to why Jeongguk was suddenly acting out in a panic, the omega grunted against the door as he pushed against the other. “What’s going on, Jeongguk?”
“No, Jimin, I…”
With a tiny hiss, the omega shouldered the door hard enough to have the alpha stumble slightly and allowing him to slip into the bathroom. But Jeongguk was already turning away from Jimin, his scent wild and crazy with distress that only had his own omega on the verge of panic.
“What is it?” Stepping forward, Jimin grabbed Jeongguk by the arm and turned him well enough to have his eyes land on what the alpha was trying to cover up.
And in that moment, Jimin choked, a hand flying to his mouth.
There, at the base of the alpha’s member, was a fully formed knot. An alpha’s knot, solid and true.
Jeongguk’s frightened orbs met Jimin’s, whispering out, “I thought our wolves were supposed to be dormant…”
“They are.” Jimin struggled to breathe.
“Then why, Jimin? Why did this happen to me?”
The apartment was eerily quiet, with Jimin currently sitting at the kitchen table, his laptop propped open. A dozen of tabs with different articles were open, with the omega only adding to it with each article and search he made on the web.
It had been a few hours since the incident between himself and Jeongguk and the shocking discovery that the younger male’s alpha had popped a knot shortly after coming.
And that’s what had them both scared out of their minds.
Yes, Alphas, Betas, and Omegas existed in the world. They could scent, start families, and even give into instinctual urges – but for centuries, their connection with their wolves slowly began to deteriorate until they were more humans than wolves to begin with. People called it an evolutionary progression, while others saw it as a natural oppression.
Whatever the case was, Alphas nowadays no longer had the ability to knot – they didn’t need to because it’s not like the notion of heats and ruts was something that still existed.
Their bodies changed over time, wolves becoming dormant and losing that deep bond between someone and their presented wolf. At least, that’s what Jimin learned from his studies at the university way back when. Never in his life had he experienced a heat before, just like many generations before him; he’s only ever read it in textbooks.
Supposed, ancient texts talked about what it was like to be fully bonded with your wolf. Those animal-like qualities that created a fine line between wolves and their humanity.
So, if ruts and heats were no longer part of their generics, if the act of mating bites and deep, emotional connection between wolves deteriorated years ago with wolves submitting to their human side and falling dormant…
Then whey did Jeongguk form a knot? Why did Jimin feel like the omega in him was bursting with life, even now. Why did he smell so unnaturally sweet? To the point where, even as he sat at the kitchen table, with Jeongguk in his room, did he hear the way the alpha rumbled out in genuine satisfaction due to his presence?
That alone had Jimin swallowing in anticipation, especially when it seemed like Jeongguk was losing his control over his alpha as well, as if the wolf in him had broken free from an inactive state.
And Jimin’s omega was living for it, his scent marking everything in the apartment and then some.
It was as if their wolves were communicating despite the distance. Jimin thought it was only a matter of time before the alpha was coming out of his room, seeking the omega for another round of whatever the fuck it was they did earlier.
And it’s not like Jimin hated the idea, either.
Trying to focus on the task at hand, Jimin took in the information of an article that stood out to him. Something about wolves showing signs of awakening – dormant days coming to an end. It was a bit hard to follow, but Jimin didn’t hesitate to pull out his phone and type down some notes regarding the author of the article.
Had it not been for the way his omega swelled with joy, Jimin wouldn’t have noticed the way Jeongguk slowly approached him from behind. He visibly trembled with a delight he couldn’t seem to control all because of the alpha’s current proximity. But he could see it in Jeongguk’s tortured gaze that the younger male was fighting against his own alpha wolf, a feeling that Jimin knew all too well.
“Did you find anything?” Jeongguk asked rather slowly, lightly chewing on his bottom lip. The omega felt silent when he noticed the way Jeongguk tried to reach out to him, but the alpha immediately closed his hand into a fist and dropped it to his side.
Touch…
Jimin let out a shaky breath. “Well, sort of.” He then touched the screen, pointing at a name.
“This man, Kim Namjoon. He works at the University of Seoul. He has a Ph.D. in anthropology and history. This article talks about wolves returning to their natural state. That it’s only a matter of time before our wolves will awaken and become active.” Jimin was quick to type down the man’s contact information, his fingers shaking in the process.
“But…that’s impossible. That would be like going backwards, not forward…” Jeongguk stated in disbelief.
However, Jimin was already shaking his head, determined to talk to the Kim Namjoon. “Not in the way you think, Jeongguk. This man right here, believes that wolves went dormant, not because of our evolution as humans.” He turned to gaze at Jeongguk’s worried-stricken face.
“But because they were undergoing an evolutionary growth themselves.” Jimin paused as his attention returned to the screen. “We need to go find this Kim Namjoon, Jeongguk. I want answers. Because if he’s right…”
Jimin licked dry lips, “It means that our wolves are fully returning, and that natural order is ready to leave its mark.”
