Once upon a time, a handsome young Prince lived in a lavish castle. His name was Jeon Jungkook born to King Jeon Junghyun and Queen Jeon Insoon. Although Jungkook had everything his heart desired, he was selfish and unkind. He took his father's position as King after his passing and ruled with a tight, cold iron fist. He taxed the poor civilians to provide and quench his expensive taste and his need to party and get drunk on the finest wines.
"Master? It's time."
And with a haughty wave of his wrist Jungkook dismissed him. He sighed and walked through the double doors out into the sea of people. Jungkook watches the crowd dance and swirl around without care and gets up to join. His eyes fall on a pretty girl and they dance before he notices another. This carries on while the singer on center stage launches into another song.Knock. Knock.He stops and walks toward the balcony doors before a strong gust of wind blows open the doors and windows. A small figure hobbles in while Jungkook angrily grabs a candlestick from the nearest shelf. He holds it to her face as he inspects the intruder.
"What are you here for you wretched broad?"
"Prince Jungkook, if I may, will you let me stay the night?"
"You? You want to stay the night in my castle?"
"Yes the storm outside is bad and my horse is weary. I'll pay you if you are so inclined."
"Pay me? What could you have to afford my hospitality?"
"I have an enchanted rose Your Grace."
"Rose? That's it? No, get out of my castle at once! I never want to see your wrinkled face again."
"Jeon Jungkook, true beauty is not what lays on the outside but what is on the inside, do not be so easily deceived."
And when he dismissed her again, the old woman's outward appearance gave way to reveal a beautiful Enchantress.Jungkook fell to his knees and began to beg to her forgiveness and to be spared her wrath, but even then as she looked into his eyes she saw no love or compassion in his heart. As punishment she cursed him into a man that was more beast than man and placed a spell on the castle and all the people who lived there with a half beast form. Werebeasts.Years later the enchanted castle still stands. Forgotten by the half-wolves for the Enchantress erased the Were-peoples memories. But the rose she had offered Jungkook truly was an enchanted rose. If he could learn to love another and receive true love in return then and only then would the curse be broken and the universe would be restored to it's former state. If not he would be doomed to remain in his form and would slowly lose himself to the vicious alpha inside of him. As the years passed with no visitors the alpha slowly fell into despair and lost all remaining hope of salvation.After all, who could ever learn to love a beast? * Jimin stepped out of the cottage and took a deep breath of fresh air. Sighing, he made his way into town and was met with the baker getting his tray ready to sell in the town market. He smiles, says 'hello', then starts weaving through the crowd towards the library when he notices Chanyeol, the potter."Good morning, Little Jimin!" Chanyeol greets with a wide smile before looking back at his muse for the morning. Before frowning and scratching his head while looking around."Morning Sir Chanyeol! Have you lost something again?" Jimin says while laughing."It seems I have but I can't remember. Oh well, it'll come to me eventually!" He nods and turns back to continue on his journey to the Library."Where are ya off to?""Oh just the to the Library to return this book. It's about two lovers in fair Verona!" Chanyeol wrinkles his nose."Sounds boring."Jimin laughs again before waving and setting off. As he walks he notices all the towns people look and stare, sighing he picks his head up and walks a little faster. With all the people in town being betas, Jimin is the only omega they've seen. To them he not only looks different with his small frame, he also smells different. All around he's more delicate and prettier than the rest, even the girls.His shoulders sag in relief as he opens the door to the library. The librarian looks up and gets up off his chair."If it isn't the only bookworm in town. How'd you find 'Romeo and Juliet'?""Amazing! I didn't want to ever come back down to earth. Do you have any new places to escape to this week?" Jimin looks up at him with his best puppy eyes. The librarian laughs before patting his head."I'm afraid not, but your free to take any of the old ones.""Thank you, your books make this small town feel so big." They smile at each other before Jimin makes his way out. He buries his head in his book as he walks back to the cottage. As he passes he ignores the whispers and glares, sinking deeper into the story before him. He passes the house with three girls and their mother are looking out. Their stony, mocking eyes locking on him."Well it's no wonder he's called a beauty. He really is good looking." Her daughters look at her with shock before squinting at her."Well he may look pretty but he's so odd.""Such a shame he's not like the rest of us. He'll never fit in here." * Taemin lowers his scope and sighs wistfully."Look at him Minho. My future mate. He's more beautiful than all the betas in the village." Minho rolls his eyes and sighs."But... he's so well-read and you're..." Taemin shoots him a look."Athletically inclined." He finishes gulping."I know he's almost as argumentative as he is beautiful." Minho's eyes squint."Exactly! Who needs 'em when you have me?" Taemin nods quickly before sighing again and deflating."Yes, but since I came back from the war I've been... missing something. And he's the only wolf that gives that feeling of...""Je ne sais quoi?" Taemin looks at him confused."Minho, I have no idea what that means."They make their way into the village when Taemin spots Jimin. He speeds up to follow him, waving to try and get the omega's attention. He stops by side of a building to admire his appearance before continuing on. He quickly pays for a bouquet of flowers and returning to his mission. He gets close before a crowd of people get in his way, interrupting him. He pushes his ways through before rushing up the steps to Jimin's cottage."G-Good morning Jimin! Wonderful... book you have there." He pants slightly before straightening. Jimin's eyes flare with annoyance before he fake smiles."Oh, have you read it?""Not... that one. But I did bring you fresh flowers. For your dining table, could I join you this evening?" he asks while running his finger up Jimin's arm. He jerks his arm back before walking back toward his door."S-Sorry not tonight. I-""Oh, are you busy?""No." Jimin fakes another smile before rushing inside and locking the door. He leans against it before rubbing at his face. Couldn't a guy take a hint? He shakes his head before walking to the workroom at the back of the cottage. He looks at his father while leaning against the door frame. Jihyun, his father, had aged through the years, gray hairs sprouting throughout the black ones. He's humming the lullaby he had always sung when Jimin couldn't sleep. He clears his throat and his father looks up."Oh Jiminie you're back! Did you get another book?" He hums a positive answer. Before stepping to the window."Appa, do you think I'm... odd?" "My little pup? Odd? Where did you ever get that idea?""Oh you know the villagers talk.""Don't listen to them. This village might be small, and small-minded even, but small also means safe." He gives Jimin a look before softening his gaze. "You're just like your mother. Strong, fearless... so fearless."He carefully loads the music box he was tinkering with into the wagon before loading up. He looks down at Jimin before caressing his cheek."What can I bring you back as a birthday gift?""A rose. Like the one in the painting." He answers automatically."Again. And I'll bring it again too." He pats his cheek before setting off. Jimin smiles and waves before going back inside.He comes back outside with a basket of clothes getting to washing them when he notices a little girl sitting beside him. Jimin smiles before getting to know her and showing her a book for a beginner reader. They sit like that before the mayor of the village comes yelling in outrage of teaching a girl how to read. He grabs JImin's laundry into the dirt before walking off laughing. Taemin walks over not bothering to help Jimin."Hey Jimin can I give you some advice? These villagers aren't going to trust the kind of change yo- we're trying to bring." Jimin stomps furiously to his cottage."All I wanted was to teach a pup to read, Taemin.""The pups you should concern yourself with are your... own." he gestures between the two discreetly. Jimin scoffs before continuing."I'm not ready to have pups.""You just haven't met the right wolf yet.""It's a pretty small village Taemin. I've met them all.""Maybe you should take another look, some of us have changed you know?"He walks up the steps to his cottage. He can still feel the beta close behind him. "Taemin we can never make each other happy. Nothing will change that."'"Jimin you know what happens to spinsters after their caregivers die right? For simple wolves like us, it doesn't get any better." Jimin snarls and whirls around."I might have been raised on a farm, but I am not simple. Sorry Taemin, but I'll never marry you." He slams the door on the beta. Sighing before looking outside as a faint flash of lightning lights in the distance. * It's the next day and Jimin is out feeding the chickens when he hears a whinny before seeing his father's horse rushing to him. He drops his bucket and rushes over."What happened boy? Where's Father?" He's looking him over when he notices the mud-caked legs and tattered harness. He mounts the Horse before galloping off."Hurry! Take me to him!"
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Jimin's heart is clenching in suspense as he comes upon a wrecked cart. He gets off the horse and looks through the wreckage for his father. He gasps when he sees his father's music box on the ground. He swallows thickly and grabs it and stuffing it in his bag before remounting his horse and continuing.Eventually Jimin comes upon the biggest castle he's ever seen. It was covered in snow even though it was only June and the air was bitter and silent. He grabs the closest thing to him that would count as a weapon an old branch that he hopes will serve as a club. He takes a breath before starting the long climb to the front entrance. When he gets up to the front doors the pushes them open slowly and carefully before walking into the big and gorgeous foyer. He goes to continue before he hears whispers coming from behind him. Whirling around he only sees and table with an old clock and a candlestick. He admires their craftsmanship before hearing a groan of pain. Jimin startles before grabbing the candlestick and rushes up the stairs and up the stone staircase."Father! Father? Is that you?" Jimin shouts. He runs past a cell before spotting her father sick and pale. He crouches down to be next to him."Jimin! Why are you here? You have to leave! Now!" He pushes Jimin's hands away. His father looks around quickly before pushing Jimin away."What? Father what are you talking about? Oh, your hands are freezing let's get you home.""No Jimin! This castle is alive you have to leave now before he finds you. Please!" Jimin shakes his head in confusion."Who are you talking about!?" Jimin stands and goes to walking around before freezing at the new powerful scent. He turns around raising his club and looking for the new being. His eyes lock on a moving figure and before he can address what ever is out there he hears a low growl."Who are you?" A low voice growls out. Jimin looks to where it could've come from but it feels like it from all over."I've come for my father. He's sick!" Jimin calls out."Your father is a theif.""Your lying!" There's a low growl in response to his voice raising."He stole a rose! He is a theif!" Jimin gasps in guilt. He looks down before looking back into the darkness."It... It was my fault. I wanted the rose! Punish me and let my father go, please. He's sick!""No, that means forever! Apparently that's the sentence for taking a simple rose." His father shouts before coughing."And I was sentenced to damnation for a 'simple rose'. Your lucky I'm simply locking you away. Do you still want to take his place?" The voice grits out before falling silent with a huff."Come into the light." Jimin waits for the being, or whoever it is, to move. When whatever it is doesn't move he grabs the candlestick and moves closer using the light to look at his father's captor.He reels back at first in terror and then in looks in detail. The being is a man well mostly. He's tall with broad shoulders and a long frame and has a chiseled jaw with strong brows. On the other hand, his eyes are ice blue with fangs piercing into his bottom lip his. His hands have claws sticking out and his hair is wild and unruly with a strong nose. All in all he is strangely attractive in a weird animal-ish sort of way Jimin thinks.Stepping closer Jimin gets a good whiff of the man's scent. It's dark and musky but it light something in Jimin that no scent has ever before. He steps back when his self-control wavers. The brows of the man furrow in confusion then in anger."Choose!" He growls. Jimin nods shakily and then swallows. He looks at his father and smiles sadly."Let him go." He looks at the animal. "Please.""You can't take back you decision and once this door closes it will not open again. Are you sure?" Jimin nods again."Yes." He says quietly. The beast nods curtly before unlocking the cell and throws his father out. He growls at him and Jimin steps inside. The door slams shut and the beast gets close to him through the bars. They lock eyes and Jimin doesn't know the man is looking for."You took his place. Why?" Jimin licks his lips and looks down."He is my father. I'd always take his place, I love him.""Then you both are fools."Jimin looks back up to see those icy orbs swirling dark with emotions that he can't name.He turns away and Jimin watches as he drags his father down the stairs."Please be careful with him!" He hears a only a growl in response. He sighs looking up at the ceiling to stop the tears from flowing and sits down in a ball in the corner by the window. * Jimin wakes up to a clang and see his cell door open. He gets up quickly."Forgive my intrusion," Jimin yelps and jumps back to grab the club he had been using earlier. "I am here to take you to your room!""But I thought that-""Yes, yes 'once this door opens blah blah blah'. I know he's always so dramtic." Jimin steels himself and runs out of the cells raising his club ready to hit the man talking to him. He gets out and instead to see a waving candlestick? Jimin yelps and swings hit club at the candle. The light goes out before relighting again and the candle gets back up."Ah, you're very strong! That's an excellent quality!" "What are you?" Jimin asks readying his club again. The candle's lights get brighter."I am Seokjin! But you can just call me Jin. Pleasure to serve you!" "And... you can talk?" Before he can respond another voice interrupts him."Yes it seems like that all he ever does. Now Jin, put the prisoner back into his cell!" Jimin jumps back and dashes to his cell to find a better weapon to defend himself with."What do you want to be for the rest of your life Namjoonie: a man? or a clock? Hmm?" Jimin finds a pot and comes back out slowly. Both objects turn to him."Ready to go?" Jin says cheerfully. Jimin nods slowly before following them slowly down the cold, stone staircase. As they are walking Jimin looks out a tiny window just to see snowy gardens and abandoned homes of a town. His brows furrow as he wonders where all the people but before his train of thought can get too dark Jin speaks up."Please forgive first impressions. I hope you were not too startled." Jimin looks down for a moment."Why would I be startled? I only talking to a candle." Jin scoffs."Candelabra, please. There's an enormous difference. But for now consider me at your service, this castle is you home now! So, feel free to go anywhere you want!" "Uh, except the west wing." Jimin looks down at both objects. Jin elbows Namjoon sharply. Namjoon looks at Jin before waving his hands around clumsily."W-Which we, uh, don't have." Jimin chuckles at his inability to lie."Why what do you keep in there?" Jin looks up quickly before glancing around."Nothing mostly storage space. But... the, uh. Well, the Master's room is in the west wing." Jimin's eyes widen before he nods and looks back up and toward the west wing. Jin gulps and continues his tour."This way, if you will!""To the east wing." Namjoon chirps helpfully. Jin smiles at him."Or as I like to say ''the only wing''! Oh, watch your step dear!" They come into a nice hallway before stopping at a pale blue set of double doors. Jimin notices the intricate gold-work on the doors. Now that he thinks about it, this whole castle has amazing craftsmanship it really is a shame it's crumbling and wasting away. He braces himself when Jin goes to open the doors."Well welcome to your new home! It's modest but it'll be comfortable enough." Jimin gasps at the gorgeous walls and furniture in the room. Every thing is light blue and gold themed with gold embellishments hanging down. He looks at the bed and wonders if it'll be too big. After all his is a bit on the smaller side. Jin goes and hops onto the bed and Jimin sees him disappears in a cloud of dust. He laughs before looking around again."It's beautiful." Jimin sighs."Of course, Master wanted you to have the finest room in the castle! Other than the Master's of course. But as you can see we, uh, we weren't expecting guests." Jin scratches the back of his head and gives a little laugh out of embarrassment. Before he can utter another word a flying feather duster comes bursting into the room swirling around. "Enchante, little wolf. Don't worry I'll have this room looking as good as new. It'll be spotless in no time!" He swirls again and then lands in Jin's arms. Jin holds him close. The duster lifts a feathery arm to graze his metal cheek."This 'plan' of yours is dangerous, Jin." Jin smiles down at him bitterly."And I would risk anything to kiss you again, Hoseokie." He leans down to kiss his lover when Hoseok pushes him away gently but firmly."No my love, you remember you've burned me before. We just have to be strong." Jin leers at him playfully."I try but my love for you makes me so very weak." Namjoon clears his throat loudly and Hoseok giggles while flying out of his arms at right in from of Jimin."Hello little one! I'm Hoseok but call me Hobi, nice to meet you..?" "Oh! Jimin, my name's Park Jimin. My status is omega, nice to meet you Hobi!" Jimin smiles and bows. Hoseok coos at him before Jimin turns to look on the dresser next to him."Is everything here alive?" he picks up a hair brush. "Hello what's your name?"Jin, Namjoon, and Hoseok laugh loudly as Jimin blushes in embarrassment."Jimin that's just a hairbrush." Namjoon says smiling. Before Jimin has a chance to defend himself a loud voice starts singing behind him. He yelps again and turns around to see the wardrobe behind him open dramatically. "Oh do not be alarmed, Jiminie. That's just Taehyung! He's your wardrobe and a wonderful singer." Jin introduces."When he can stay awake long enough." Namjoon whispers."Joonie, I singer needs a proper time... to... re-" Before he can finish Taehyung is interrupted by a large yawn."Ah, oh no. Wait Tae, we have someone for you to dress! You need to wake up." Taehyung smiles wide and boxy before reaching out to to touch Jimin's face, neck, and shoulders. "Finally it's about time! Ah pretty eyes. Gorgeous facial structure. What a perfect canvas! Yes, I shall find you something fit for a prince!" He exclaims."Oh, but I'm not prince.""Nonsense! Now let me see what I've got in these drawers of mine." He opens his cabinets and as he does a few moths fly out and flutter out the door. Taehyung slams his doors shut in horror."Oh my god. How embarrassing, um, let's resume!" And in a whirl of different fabrics and textures Jimin's dressed so garrishly he doesn't know what to think. While he's... admiring... his outfit a small ottoman rushes into the room barking? "Of come here Holly! Help Hyungie finish this outfit." When he finishes with the touches it's just too much."Oh, it's perfect!" Taehyung squeals. Jin and Namjoon share a fake smile."Hmm. How subtle. I love it Tae!" Jin looks at Taehyung and gives him a thumbs up. He whistles and calls for Holly and drags Namjoon out of the room. Hoseok waves goodbye and Holly gives Jimin a lick before they follow suit. "Holly, be sure to send my love to Ju- the, uh, Master!" Taehyung bellows in his deep voice. Once everyone is gone he falls asleep and Jimin is left alone. He shrugs out of the different fabrics draping his body and walks to the window. After admiring the vast wilderness he pries it open and looks down. The only thing he wants to do is to leave. At the thought his heart throbs in longing and his inner wolf gives a howl of defiance at the thought. He shakes his head and looks back at the outfit before an idea starts to take shape.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Jimin is tying fabrics together in a makeshift rope when he hears two loud knocks. He pauses and waits for whoever is on the other side to speak."You will come and eat dinner with me. It's not a request." The beast's low and husky voice mutters out. Jimin's eyes widen before squinting in anger and he looks away from the door fully intent on ignoring the man. Another two knocks sound out again and more aggressive this time."Just a minute." Jimin calls out and he tosses the rope out of the window and looks down to see it touching the ground. He smiles to himself, proud of his handiwork. "Will you join me for dinner?" He freezes at the gentler tone of voice and moves closer to the door. "You took me as prisoner. Why would you ask me to eat with you?" He asks annoyed. There's a growl."I thought that you might not want to starve! If you don't want to eat then tha-" Jimin opens the door in a surge of confidence and looks up at the man. The beast's icy eyes lock on his and Jimin can see his pupils dilate. Again he's blown away by the man's scent, it's more potent to any wolf he's ever smelled before. He's never met an alpha before. The man's eyes seem to glow as he draws in closer to Jimin almost as if he's drawn to him. He backs up until he's met with the edge of his bed. Startled by the object he looks down. A clawed finger under his chin turns his head back to the beast's. They are face to face staring each other in before Jimin feels a little trickle of something start to run down his thigh. His eyes widen at the realization that he's leaking slick. He whimpers a little and the beast growls lowly in response before he gets a whiff of Jimin's arousal. His eyes are almost black with how far his pupils have stretched and he leans his head to smell at Jimin's scent glands on his neck. He gasps at the puff of air on the sensitive skin and leans his head back and to the side in submission. The pheromones the other wolf is releasing are so powerful Jimin can't help himself."You submit so easily, Omega." The alpha's voice growls against his neck so close to him that Jimin can feel the words rather than hear them. A whine makes its way out of his throat and the beast slowly guides him back onto the bed. Jimin lays back staring up at those wide eyes."I've never met an alpha before." He falls silent when a clawed finger runs over his lips slowly moving to his jaw. The beast hums at the information before he feels a tongue licking at his glands. He gasps and his back arches a little as the alpha scents him. The only one to scent him this personally is his father. He can feel the alpha nuzzling and licking all around his glands coating him in the alpha's musk. He brings his hands up and buries them in the beast's wild hair pulling him closer on instinct. Jimin's omega is already out of control but he can't seem to find the will to care. He brings his own face to the alpha's glands to see the area around the gland already secreting scent. He leans forward to lick up the potent liquid and when he does it feels as if a ball of fire releases inside him. He rips off his clothes and cries out. The human part of him is dying of shame but the omega couldn't be bothered.It's suddenly too hot and all he can focus on is the wolf on top of him. Under all the need and want he realizes he's going into a early heat and that this probably wouldn't be the best place to have one but he doesn't care. All his omega wants is to be knotted and satisfied by the wolf on top of him."P-Please Alpha. Want your knot. Need you to f-fill me up!" Jimin whines and whimpers before turning onto his stomach and lifting his ass in the air so he can present to the willing alpha behind him. There's a growl before two clawed hands place themselves beside his head and he bows his head forward onto the mattress to show him his bare neck. Large jaws secure themselves into his skin without breaking it and there's some shuffling before a hot member slides in between his cheeks."I'm going to mount you now Omega. Going to satisfy you better than any other wolf. Fill you with my seed till there's no doubt that you not pregnant." Jimin moans at the words and pushes back desperately. Finally the alpha's long thick member presses against his leaking hole before pushing in, in one long thrust of the alpha's hips. When they are finally connected Jimin can feel that sense of longing start to dissipate. He sighs in contentment and his omega purrs lowly. The alpha behind him gives his neck a few licks before latching on as he starts to thrust. Jimin can feel his cock drag and shape his insides and he moans loudly before biting into the pillow in front of him."Don't hide your sounds from me Omega. Tell me how you feel. Is your Alpha fucking you well?""Y-Yes! Alpha's giving it t-to me so well. Ah, fuck me please!" He can feel the beast's thrust start to pick up and more and more whines escape his throat."Oh Alpha! Please! Please b-breed me. Fill me with your pups!" Tears are making their way down his cheeks as the alpha finds his prostate and hits it dead on with each thrust. The teeth at his neck press harder and Jimin can feel a pressure building in his stomach. He's so close! All he wants to do is come."Alpha, I'm close. So close! I-I'm going to-" He's interrupted by the powerful thrust in his hole and he spills all over the sheets below him with a cry of ''Alpha''. The alpha growls as his knot stretches Jimin's rim so tight before he comes violently. He sinks his teeth into the Omega's neck fills him with his seed. Jimin screams as a second powerful orgasm racks through his body when the teeth break through his skin and into his scent glands. The knot inside him pops and he can feel his stomach distend with all the cum being poured into his womb. He can feel something deep inside his chest lock into place as the alpha's venom marks his scent glands as his own. He's completely wrapped up by the alpha and hanging off his knot. Jimin pushes of the rising panic later all to happy to sleep for now in the arms of his new mate. * Jungkook looked down at the little omega he had just mated. He growled at himself for doing something so stupid, the curse could only be broken if there was 'true love' not some forced mating. He went to pull away from his mate when he realized his knot hadn't gone down yet and wouldn't till another thirty minutes. He stuck his tongue in his cheek while he tried to work out a plan, he looked down to admire his omega.He really was beautiful it was no wonder his wolf was so obsessed with the other. He had a small frame with delicate features. The only thing strong and bold about him was his attitude. Jungkook leaned down and licked over his mark just to hear the omega whine and shift a little closer to him in his sleep. He settled back down and got ready to wait out his knot. * Jimin woke up cold. He opened his eyes to see Jin smiling down widely at him and Namjoon waving at him from the doorway. Jimin went to sit up but was interrupted by a fierce, sharp pain in his lower back. "W-What happened?" Jimin reached up to itch at his neck when he felt a giant scab over his glands."Oh, no worries I'll be sure to fix you right up! You and Jungkook sure did hit it right off I'm impressed!" He laughed cheerfully but Jimin's eyes widened in horror as he connected the dots and his memories. No, he couldn't have! There was no way!"I-, Wh-Who's Jungk-. We mated?! No! That's not possible!" He broke down into sobs and curled around himself. Jin's smile faded and he looked at Namjoon for help. Namjoon gestured for Jin to do something to help the poor omega."What is the problem with that? You'll make a great couple! Jungkook may seem like a dick but after everything that hap-""You don't understand Jin! I didn't want to mate! Not Jungkook! Not Taemin! No one!" He stood up through the pain. "Where is he?! He can't just mate whoever he wants!" Jimin stomped out and down the stairs. Jin and Namjoon shared worried glance before bounding off behind the angry omega. "Wait Jimin! You can't disturb him! He's not in a good mood right now how about-" Jin hurries to persuade the wolf."NO! I'm going to go see him whether he like it or not." He climbs the stairs of the west wing and runs down the hall to the very end with the pair of double doors. That has to be it, he thinks. He pushes the doors open and opens his mouth to start shouting at Jungkook when he doesn't see him. His eyebrows furrow and he steps into the room and looks around. The room is cold the balcony doors are open so that makes sense, Jimin thinks. He pulls his cloak that he grabbed on his way out tighter around his naked body.He walks into a side room from the entrance and sees his bed and a portrait on the wall with huge scratches marring the faces of the people except the woman. He looks closely and can see icy blue eyes in one intact piece of the painting. He shivers at the intensity and moves on when he spots a lone table on the balcony. He walks over to it to see a glowing rose. He leans closer to the glass covering it and reaches a hand out to touch it when a pair of claws grab his arm and throw him away from it. He lands on the ground and looks up at the growling alpha."What are you doing?! What did you do to it?!" He growls his eyes the brightest and most deadly shade of blue Jimin has ever seen on him."N-Nothing! I didn't do anything to it, I didn't even touch it!" He growls right back."Do you realize you could've damned us all you bitch!" He steps closer to his mate. "Get out! GO! I never want to see you near it again!"Jimin holds a sob in his throat, throws back on his cloak and runs out of the door. He turns towards that grand entrance and races down the stairs and towards the large wooden doors of the castle. Jin and Namjoon are trying to stop him but he doesn't listen. He is done with this castle and he's most certainly done with Jungkook. He grabs another and thicker cape hanging from the coat rack and races outside and into the wilderness surrounding the castle. He hops onto his father's left behind horse and gallops out into the exiting road. When he looks behind him he can barely even see the castle anymore, he heaves a sigh of relief and slows down his pace a little. Just as he's about to stop for a rest he sees a flicker of white. He looks back sharply to see rogue wolves chasing behind him he yelps and kicks his horse into action.He comes out of the under-brush to a frozen pond and races across. Jimin winces as he hears the ice cracking underneath them, he pushes the animal faster and they finally come back on land when the closest wolves' jaws snap too close to the animal's thigh. The horse rears before bucking and Jimin goes flying. He sits up just in time to roll out of the way of big fangs and snapping jaws.He picks up a stray branch and growls at the rogues. He engages with them swinging his club as hard as he can at the rabid wolves before a wolf rips the club out of his hands. He hears a choked snarl and looks up to see what looks like the rogue's leader. The wolf crouches and jumps before Jimin has a chance to get ready he screams and flinches preparing for the terrifying pain when a flash of black fur crashes into the wolf and hurls it across out into the pond behind him.Jimin gasps at the sight of Jungkook in wolf form fighting with the rogues. They are all attacking him at once but the alpha is defending them both. The leader gets back in the fight and digs his rotten fangs into his mate's shoulder. Jimin can hear Jungkook's yowl of pain before he's launching the other wolf into a tree head first. After seeing there leader down the other's retreat into the woods leaving Jimin with his wounded mate.He watches Jungkook transform back into his normal human/beast form. He gets up to stand before collapsing into the snowbank. Jimin hesitates going to his horse, to freedom. He takes a step before he feels the bond tug at his heart, he looks back at the crumpled form of his mate and sighs in defeat.He walks back to his mate before taking off his second cloak and covering the alpha with it before crouching down next to him. The alpha weakly opens his eyes and looks up at Jimin. Jimin reaches out to touch his cheek before he can control himself, he goes to pull back but Jungkook sighs and leans into it, nuzzling his palm seeking comfort in his mate. Jimin moves his head to look at him again."You have to help me... Jungkook you have to stand..."Slowly Jimin has Jungkook's slumped form on the horses back as he begins the long trip back to the castle. He might have turned his back on his freedom but he won't turn his back on his mate. No matter how bad the circumstances, he won't ever leave him to suffer. He moves a stray hair out of Jungkook's face and continues the slow journey.
