Our happily ever after

Taehyung was nervous as he was standing in a beautiful hall with other nine omegas. They were all invited to a royal ball that the king of neighbouring kingdom was holding in order for his only alpha heir to find a suitable omega mate. Since the king was getting old, he wanted his son to start preparing for taking over the throne after him but the tradition was that the alpha had to get married first.

Taehyung was dressed in a beautiful light blue hanbok that his parents have made for him solely for this event because it was a big deal. The two kingdoms weren’t on friendly terms for quite some time so the union of their son with the alpha prince would bring peace to the two kingdoms. His brown fluffy hair was framing his face and jewellery was decorating his wrists and neck. He was very confident in his looks but right now, he was really nervous.

Taehyung has heard all sorts of stories about the alpha prince of this kingdom. He was young, younger than Taehyung but he was in the age of finding mate and if the stories were true, he was apparently very desirable. People said that he was tall, strong and radiated powerful presence. There weren’t any stories about his personality though and Taehyung didn’t know what to expect. He was curious though, curious if all those stories about the handsome and strong alpha were true.

Jeongguk was sitting in a beautiful chair next to his parent’s thrones. He was quite bored and not really fond of the idea of the ball that his father came up with. He understood that he had to find a mate, he was already twenty one but truthfully, he’d much rather just hunt and run around the woods with his friends than care about mates and children.

He was still a bit excited though, he knew that ten omegas would be presented to him and his parents hoped that he’d find a mate in one of them. There were females and males, it really didn’t matter, it was a common thing for princes or high lords to be with either because both were able to carry children and produce heirs. Jeongguk just decided to rely on his sense of smell because that was the best indicator.

Finally the musicians started playing when all the guests gathered in a circle, making free space for the omegas. Jeongguk looked at the double door and waited. Omegas started coming to the hall and they were all really beautiful but none really caught his attention.

But then, second to last, there was a young man that took Jeongguk’s breath away. He was looking around with wide eyes, obviously very nervous.

The omegas lined up in front of the throne, bowing down to the king, the queen and the prince. Taehyung forced himself to relax but then he felt eyes on him. He looked up and was staring right at the young prince.

Taehyung felt his heart hammering in his chest and he almost stopped breathing for a moment. The prince was sitting in a black hanbok with his black hair and dark round eyes. Even though he was covered in the robe, it was still pretty clear that he was muscular and broad and tall.

The presentations started. The presenter always called out an omega and they stepped in front of the king and bowed to him.

“Prince Taehyung, the son of king Taeyong,” the presenter said and the young omega stepped in front of the king, taking a deep bow. He could feel the intense stare on him but he forced himself not to look at the prince. He could clearly smell couple of scents from here but one of them was standing out, strong and musky and his head was almost spinning.

The ball officially started after the presenter presented prince Jeongguk, the heir of the throne. Taehyung learned that he was twenty one, almost two years younger than him.

The prince had to invite every omega for a dance out of courtesy so he started with the first female omega in the row. Taehyung and the other omegas were rushed to the side to have some drinks and food before it was their turn for the dance with the alpha.

Finally it was Taehyung’s turn to dance with Jeongguk. The alpha came to him and bowed down deeply, holding a hand stretched out to him. Taehyung blushed and took it and let Jeongguk lead him to the middle of the hall.

They started slowly dancing to soft strings music. One of Jeongguk’s hands was resting on Taehyung hip while the other was holding his hand to the side. The omega put his free hand on the alpha’s shoulder, feeling the muscles underneath the clothes. Jeongguk was couple of inches taller than him and a lot broader. Taehyung felt a sense of security instantly washing over him in the alpha’s presence.

“It’s an honour to meet you, my prince,” Taehyung said when he finally dared to look into Jeongguk’s dark eyes that were already boring into him.

“The pleasure is mine, my prince,” Jeongguk smiled softly, leading the omega in a slow dance. Suddenly the alpha leaned little bit closer, sniffing Taehyung’s sweet scent. It was the most delicious thing he’s ever smelled.

“You smell great, my prince,” Jeongguk looked back at the omega. Taehyung blushed and lowered his eyes.

“Please, tell me something about yourself, my heart is aching to get to know you,” the alpha said after a while.

“There isn’t really much to talk about, my prince, I am a simple omega,”

“That’s far from the truth, in my humble opinion,” Jeongguk gave him an intense stare.

“I really like art,” Taehyung said the first thing that came to his mind.

“Tell me more,” Jeongguk demanded. His voice was still gentle but there was a hint of command behind his words. It wasn’t probably intentional, it was just one of his alpha traits, he was used to giving commands and people obeying.

“I like all kinds of arts, I like admiring paintings and architecture and music. I play harp,” the omega confessed.

“I’d love to see you play sometimes,” Jeongguk gave him a subtle smile. Taehyung’s heart jumped little bit in his chest at the indication of his words. Jeongguk hoped to see Taehyung again.

Unfortunately, Jeongguk had to invite for a dance the last omega but before he let go of Taehyung, he leaned in and whispered: “Meet me in the gardens by the lake when the moon is highest on the sky.”

“But, my prince, the ball will be over by that time and I am here with my brother and his mate, I don’t think I could leave my chamber,” Taehyung gasped.

“You don’t share a chamber with them, do you?” Jeongguk shrugged. Taehyung shook his head so Jeongguk continued: “I’ll meet you in the gardens then. Please?”

Taehyung blushed and bit his lip. Then he looked up at the alpha through his eyelashes and gave him a small nod.

The ball went on but ended soon. Taehyung went to his chamber that was given to him for the night of the ball along with his brother Seokjin and his mate Namjoon who were here to accompany him.

His breathing was quick when he silently left his chamber a while later. The corridors were dimply lit up by torches but it was quiet, telling him that all the guests and inhabitants of the palace were already in their chambers, getting ready to sleep.

Taehyung slipped out of the gate, ignoring the guards and made his way to the lake. Small part of him was worried that the alpha prince played some sick trick on him and would leave him waiting but when he got there, he saw the tall silhouette, illuminated by the silver moonlight. Jeongguk looked even better like this, so handsome and powerful and Taehyung wished to see him in his wolf form one day.

“You came,” Jeongguk breathed out when he turned around and saw Taehyung.

“Of course, I couldn’t let you wait, my prince, that would be rude,” the omega smiled sheepishly.

“Walk with me?” Jeongguk suggested and offered the omega his arm. The older happily linked his arm with Jeongguk’s and let the prince lead him on a small path along the silver lake.

After a while, they suddenly stopped. Jeongguk turned to face the other and took both his hands in his own.

“I must admit, my prince, that I’ve been infatuated by you ever since you walked into the hall,” Jeongguk admitted without any trace of shyness. The same couldn’t be said about Taehyung. As soon as he heard those words, he lowered his gaze and blushed.

“You only know me for couple of hours,” Taehyung mumbled.

“Maybe but I can feel it in my heart that you could be the right mate for me,” the younger admitted: “If you want to, I’d like to get to know you better. I know that this was arranged by my parents and I know how things usually work but I don’t want some arranged marriage with a stranger, I’d like to get to know my future mate properly.”

“I am leaving back home tomorrow,” the omega said quietly.

“Then I will talk to my father and have him arrange something between our families, please?” Jeongguk looked hopefully at the other.

“I’d…I’d love that,” Taehyung admitted. He couldn’t believe it. Only few hours ago, he was nervous and convinced that this visit wouldn’t bring any fruits and now, here he was standing with the most handsome alpha he’s ever laid his eyes on and he was asking permission to court him. Taehyung has always feared his destiny because he knew he’d have his marriage arranged but right now, he thought that his destiny didn’t look that bad.

“How did the ball go, my love?” Taehyung was greeted by his mother with a warm hug and kisses on both cheeks.

“Taehyungie seems already head over heels for prince Jeongguk, he was talking about him the whole way home,” Seokjin snickered.

“You weren’t any better when you met Namjoon,” Taehyung stuck out the tongue at his older brother.

“Yah, behave!” Seokjin reprimanded him.

“Where is father?” Taehyung looked around.

“He has a meeting with the lords,” his mother informed him. Then she led him to a small couch, sat them both down and grabbed his hands, smiling at him: “Tell me everything, baby, what is this prince like?”

“He’s…he’s very gallant,” Taehyung blushed, looking away.

“What a lovely coincidence. We were hoping for you two to get along so our two kingdoms could put all the grudges aside,” his mother smiled brightly at him.

“Nothing is certain yet, mother,” Taehyung mumbled: “But he showed an interest in me and voiced his wish to get to know me better. He said that he would ask his father to arrange a visit for me.”

“That would be absolutely lovely!” his mother beamed: “You seem to already have proper heart eyes for the prince, just imagine if this actually worked out. What do you think about the visit?”

“I…I said that I want it,” Taehyung nodded hesitantly.

“We will wait for a messenger with a letter then. I am sure it won’t take much time and you will see him soon again. I’d be really happy for you, baby, if this worked out. I want you to be happy,” his mother caressed his cheek lovingly.

“I really want to see him again, mother,” the omega admitted sheepishly: “His scent is so strong yet pleasurable and I feel so nice and safe with him, I can’t explain.”

“You don’t need to, honey, I know what you talk about. He might be the right mate for you and one day you might marry him, move to his palace, give him beautiful pups and rule by his side,” the woman gave him a hopeful smile. She always hoped for the best for her two omega sons. It was always clear that Taehyung would leave his home and marry and live with his alpha mate because when Seokjin found his alpha mate, it was settled that they would rule this kingdom together.

Taehyung’s head was in clouds. Was it really possible that this future, that his mother mentioned, could be waiting for him with Jeongguk? Would this end with their wedding, pups and ruling? Deep inside his heart, he really hoped so.

*

The letter from the other kingdom came soon. The king, Jeongguk’s father, invited Taeyhung to stay in his palace in order for Jeongguk to court him properly. He invited also Seokjin and Namjoon which was a tradition because unmated omega could never come alone.

Taehyung’s parents accepted the invitation, Taehyung didn’t even have to beg them. They saw that their son was eager to see the alpha prince again and they were happy to hear his wish. The only problem was that Taehyung would see Jeongguk one moon from now and that seemed like an eternity.

One evening, Taehyung was sitting on the balcony of his chamber. He loved sitting under the moon on warm summer nights, usually reading poetry, watching the stars or just daydreaming about foreign lands or faceless future mates. That image wasn’t faceless in his mind anymore, he had one alpha in particular there but as the days went by, the face of Jeongguk seemed more and more distant because they haven’t seen each other for almost two months. Taehyung was counting days and nights until his departure to the other kingdom, feeling a tingling under his skin when he imagined his reunion with the young prince.

Taeyhung was brought back from his thoughts by a ruffling of the bushes under his window. He was suddenly wary because it was quite late at night and no one was usually out this late.

His nose was filled with a strong scent and his body tensed little bit. An alpha. But something about that scent was familiar and almost soothing. He came over to the railing of the balcony and looked down.

The bushes were moving and he held his breath when suddenly a dark silhouette appeared in front of them.

“My prince?” a voice called out to him. Taehyung focused his eyes, it was really hard in the darkness but when he finally recognized the person, he gasped.

“My prince, what are you doing here?” the omega exclaimed with a mix of shock and excitement in his voice.

“I couldn’t wait any longer to see you,” Jeongguk admitted. He had quite simple pants and shirt on and he was barefoot. His hair was ruffled.

“How did you get here?”

“I ran in my wolf form,”

“You ran all the way here? But my prince, it takes hours!” Taehyung gasped. Their kingdoms were neighbouring but it still took almost half a day to get from one palace to another. Jeongguk must have run for hours.

“I run fast,” Jeongguk replied with a lopsided smile: “Besides, no distance is great enough if that means I see you at the end.”

The omega was really taken aback. Jeongguk ran all the way here just to see him. He wasn’t mad though, he missed the alpha greatly and there were still two weeks left until the visit.

“I missed you, my prince, I had to see you,” the alpha admitted: “Could you come down here?”

Taehyung bit his lip and thought about it. It wasn’t like he wasn’t allowed to go out. He couldn’t go out at night by himself because it was dangerous but he wouldn’t be technically alone, he’d have a strong alpha by his side. He eventually gave in because the desire to be in Jeongguk’s presence was too strong.

“You look beautiful,” Jeongguk smiled when Taehyung came down. He held a hand behind his back but he soon brought it to the front, revealing what he was hiding. He held a rose in front of Taehyung, he picked it just couple of minutes ago before the omega came down.

“Thank you,” the omega accepted the flower with a blush and brought it to his nose. It was just a simple rose but the fact that it was given to him by the alpha who was residing in his heart for the past couple of weeks meant a great deal.

“You shouldn’t have run all the way here, what will your royal parents think? Won’t they be looking for you?” Taehyung asked with concern.

“I love running around woods at night, they are used to it, don’t worry,” the alpha reassured him: “I just had to see you, I couldn’t stop thinking about you since the ball and the time of your arrival just seemed so far away.”

“I can’t wait to be the guest in your palace, my prince,” Taehyung admitted sheepishly, earning a smile from the younger.

“I hope you will bring your harp with you, I’d love to see you play sometimes,”

“I will,”

“I will show you our collection of art since you are a lover. I will show you our kingdom and if your brother and his mate allow it, I will take your for a run around the woods in our wolf forms,” Jeongguk said what he was planning. Taehyung thought it was perfect and he couldn’t wait doing all those things with Jeongguk. He also couldn’t wait to see him in his wolf form, he knew that the alpha would be majestic.

Taehyung turned around when he heard voices coming from the gate to the palace. Then he turned back to Jeongguk and smiled apologetically at him: “I’m afraid I have to go back.”

“That’s alright,” Jeongguk nodded. Then he gently grabbed Taehyung’s hand and brought it to his lips and planted a soft kiss there. The gesture made Taehyung blush.

“I’ll see you soon, my prince, I will count the days until your arrival,” the alpha smiled and kissed the omega’s hand again.

“I will count the days as well,” Taehyung confessed and watched Jeongguk disappearing in the woods.

When he came back to the front gate, he spotted his mother there. He tried to suppress the wide smile that was playing on his lips.

“What are you doing out so late, my dear?” his mother looked at the young man a bit disapprovingly.

“N-nothing, I just…I wanted to collect some rose,” Taehyung murmured, looking at the ground, the rose from Jeongguk still in his hand. His mother eyed him suspiciously, she could always tell when her younger son was lying. Then she caught a faint musky scent and smiled, she figured what happened.

“Alright, now go to sleep, darling,” the woman patted his shoulder, deciding not to bring it up and tease him. Taehyung grinned, kissed her cheek and went back up to his chamber. He put the rose in the vase and put it next to his bed. When he washed, changed to his sleeping attire and lied down in the bed, he was still smiling.

*

Taehyung gave his farewell to his mother and father. He cried because he didn’t know when he’d see them again. Obviously, if the things with Jeongguk work out, there would be a wedding that his parents would attend but it was possible that he wouldn’t see his home ever again. He was grateful that Seokjin and Namjoon went with him, that way he knew that he wouldn’t feel so lonely and out of place in a strange palace.

The journey was long but Taehyung was getting more excited the nearer they were to the other kingdom. When they passed the borders, he was looking out of the window, taking in the country. He might become the king of this land and these people one day.

Finally the carriage stopped and they got out in front of the palace where the king, the queen and the prince already waited. Jeongguk gave him a subtle smile that made Taehyung blush.

“I hope your journey was without any trouble,” the king bowed down to Namjoon and Seokjin who were standing in front of Taehyung.

“It was a pleasant journey, your grace,” Seokjin replied politely.

“Welcome to our palace, please, make yourself at home, we want this visit to be as pleasurable for you as possible,” the queen spoke up kindly.

“I am sure we will have a great time here,” Namjoon bowed down to her.

“Hoseok, Jimin,” the king called out and two young betas stepped in front of him: “Show our guests their chambers and make sure they have everything they desire.”

“You must be hungry after the long journey, the dinner will be served in an hour,” the queen looked at the guests: “Jeongguk will wait for you by your chambers and accompany you to our dining hall.”

“Thank you, your grace,” Seokjin bowed again and followed Hoseok and Jimin while other servants took care of their luggage. Jeongguk just gave Taehyung another subtle smile and watched him leave. He was eager to be reunited with the omega but he knew that now was not the time.

Hoseok showed Seokjin and Namjoon their chamber while Jimin took Taehyung to his that was right next to his brother’s and the alpha’s. The room was spacious and beautiful.

“I hope you have everything you need, my prince,” Jimin bowed down: “I will leave you so you can freshen up after the journey and change for the dinner.”

“Actually…” Taehyung started but stopped, biting his lip. He didn’t want to be rude.

“Go on,” the young beta encouraged him with a smile.

“Could you help me get ready, please?” the omega asked hesitantly.

“Of course, if that’s what you want, my prince,” Jimin smiled brightly and closed the door, staying in the room. Taehyung discovered that Jimin was Jeongguk’s personal servant and that he was really nice and positive. Taehyung instantly liked him and he blushed at the thought of Jeongguk wanting him to have his most trusted friend by his side.

When he walked out of the chamber an hour later, Seokjin, Namjoon and Jeongguk were already waiting for him.

“You look beautiful, my prince,” Jeongguk stepped in front of him and took his hand to kiss it. Taehyung blushed, not because of the gesture but because his brother and Namjoon were there and this was the first time Jeongguk showed any sign of affection in front of other people. They went to a dinner together and had a lovely time. The king and the queen were nice people who treated everyone kindly and Taehyung was already less nervous about the whole visit.

*

Taehyung and Jeongguk were spending a lot of time together. They were mostly accompanied by someone, most often Seokjin and Namjoon but the older couple was giving them enough space to get to know each other. Seokjin was happy to see his brother literally glowing in the presence of the young alpha prince, remembering the time he met Namjoon and they started falling in love.

Jeongguk was still surprising Taehyung with small gifts or gestures that left the omega shy and blushing, whether it was with a bouquet of flowers or a beautiful necklace.

One afternoon, Jeongguk went to Taehyung’s chamber – leaving the door opened of course – to see the omega play his harp.

The alpha was sitting in an armchair, watching in astonishment the older man gracefully caressing the strings of the instrument with his fingers. He had his eyes closed and he was humming a soft melody and Jeongguk found himself falling even deeper for the other man.

“It was beautiful, my love, you are really talented,” Jeongguk clapped when Taehyung finished. The omega blushed profoundly at the use of the pet name. Until now, the alpha was calling him ‘my prince’ but he liked this much better.

“I’d love to take you for a run around the woods in our wolf forms tonight after the dinner, if that’s okay with you and your brother,” Jeongguk suggested hesitantly.

“I’d love that,” Taehyung nodded: “I will ask permission from my brother.”

Seokjin let Taehyung go alone with Jeongguk, knowing that nothing can really happen to his brother in the woods surrounding the palace. And he knew that the alpha would protect him from any possible harm.

Jeongguk walked into the woods to shift there since he had to shed his clothes and a minute later, a huge, black wolf came out. Taehyung gasped in astonishment. It was one of the biggest beasts he’s ever seen, including his alpha father and Namjoon. His eyes were glowing crimson but strangely, Taehyung didn’t feel threatened at all. The wolf came to him and Taehyung couldn’t help but stretch out his hand and bury it in the soft, shiny fur. Jeongguk was truly beautiful in both forms, human and wolf.

Taehyung went to the woods as well and shifted into his wolf form. Then he called Jeongguk to come to him, since they could communicate with their thoughts. Taehyung was much smaller but his light brown fur was glowing beautifully in the sun shining down through the trees.

“You are beautiful, my love,” Jeongguk said through their connection, coming closer to Taehyung and admiring his form and amber eyes.

They started running, side by side. Jeongguk had to run slower than what he was used to in order for Taehyung to keep up with him, but he didn’t mind. He could hear the omega laughing in his head and he was falling even deeper for him.

They stopped when they made it to a big river and went to have a drink. They stayed on the stones for a bit, sunbathing in the setting sun.

“I am really happy you accepted my invitation to be here,” Jeongguk said in his wolf voice, coming closer to Taehyung. The omega’s ears hung down cutely as he looked at the ground but his tail was wiggling lazily.

The alpha came even closer and nuzzled his snout into the omega’s fur. Taehyung closed his eyes, taking in the strong, familiar scent.

“I love your scent,” Jeongguk said quietly, sniffing at the scent glad on Taehyung’s neck. The omega shivered at the close proximity, imagining for a second what it’d feel like for Jeongguk to claim him. The thought that it might happen one day left him all flustered and fuzzy inside.

They ran back to the palace, shifting back to their human forms and taking clothes on. Jeongguk then led them to the garden, Taehyung wasn’t protesting because he was happy to spend some time alone with the alpha.

They sat down on a bench by the lake, the place where they were together that night of the ball. Jeongguk turned to the side to face the older and took his hands gently in his.

“I know that this might seem rushed because we’ve known each other for only couple of moons and now you’ve been here only for couple of weeks but…” Jeongguk started talking, caressing Taehyung’s hands with his thumbs lightly: “I carry deep feelings for you and I am falling deeper the more I get to know you.”

Taeyhung looked at his lap shyly. He didn’t know how to react. Jeongguk’s confession was so sweet and he felt so many emotions and didn’t know how to put them in words.

“I feel the same way, my prince,” Taehyung eventually said. As Jeongguk said, it might be a bit rushed, they haven’t known each other for too long but he felt deep inside that Jeongguk was the right mate for him and that if they were to marry, he’d be very happy.

“I wanna make you mine, Taehyung, of course with your consent and permission from your parents and brother,” the alpha said with a bit of a shaky voice. That was the first time Taehyung saw him nervous and it only made him like Jeongguk more.

“I know that I won’t ever find a better mate. I am really happy with you, Taehyung, and I love making you happy and I’d love to do that for the rest of my life,” Jeongguk continued. Taehyung felt like he could burst any moment. Was this really happening? He never thought that he could find a mate that he would actually love this deeply, he always thought that he will be forced to marry a stranger and bear with it. He couldn’t believe his luck.

“Please, my prince, say something,” Jeongguk laughed nervously since Taehyung’s been quiet the whole time.

“I…you make me really happy, Jeongguk and it’d be an honour to become your mate,” the omega confessed with a blush.

“Will you honour me then and marry me? Of course only with a blessing of our parents,” Jeongguk looked hopefully at him.

“I will happily marry you, Jeongguk,” Taehyung breathed out shakily. It was here, his wildest dreams came true. He found a perfect alpha mate who was treating him like a treasure and who he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. He wanted to marry him, wanted Jeongguk to claim him as he, he wanted to bear his children and rule the kingdom by his side.

Jeongguk beamed, smiling brightly, content with the answer. He brought up a hand and brushed Taehyung’s cheek gently. The omega nearly stopped breathing when the alpha slowly leaned closer. He knew what was about to happen and his heart was hammering in his chest because he’s been imagining this moment for so long. He was finally going to get his first kiss.

When Jeongguk finally closed the gap between them and their lips touched, Taehyung felt like he was complete. Jeongguk’s lips felt so soft against his and lingered there for a moment before he pulled back. Then he grabbed Taehyung’s hands and brought them up, kissing them both, smiling at the omega.

*

Jeongguk’s parents were happy when Jeongguk told them his decision. That was what they were hoping for so they were absolutely on board with the wedding. They immediately sent a messenger to the other kingdom to Taehyung’s parents, asking their permission.

Taehyung’s parents were as equally excited, agreeing as well. The plans for the royal wedding started immediately. Taehyung and Jeongguk were both excited and wanted to do it as soon as possible. It was decided that they would get married in two moons.

In the meantime, they were spending more time together, now mostly alone without any company. They were walking around the kingdom, whether it was in their human or wolf form. They were falling for each other more with each passing day, knowing that they made the right decision.

Taehyung’s parents arrived one moon before the wedding to be there for the preparations. Taehyung’s mother cried with happiness when she hugged her son and his father embraced him in a warm hug as well. They both already met the king and the queen before but it was their first time meeting Jeongguk. They both immediately liked the young alpha and when they saw how the prince was treating their son and how in love they were, they knew that they were leaving their younger son in good hands.

Taehyung was lying in his bed one night, almost asleep after a lovely dinner with his and Jeongguk’s family and a walk in the park.

Suddenly the door to his chamber opened quietly. The omega blinked in the darkness, scared for a second but then the familiar scent hit him and he relaxed. He lit up a candle on the bedside table.

“What are you doing here, my prince?” Taehyung whisper-yelled: “You are not supposed to be here that late at night.”

“Well, if no one finds out,” Jeongguk grinned cheekily: “I just burned with desire to see you, darling.”

Taehyung immediately melted when he heard the addressing. Jeongguk got lately into the habit of calling him different pet names and he really loved it. It was so sweet and intimate.

The omega gulped when the alpha closed the gap between the door and the bed and sat on the edge next to him. Taehyung sat up, suddenly almost trembling. He wasn’t scared or nervous, it was more like an excitement. Jeongguk wasn’t supposed to be here in the middle of the night but the secret visit was weirdly exciting.

Taehyung’s breath caught in his throat when the alpha leaned in and planed a soft kiss to his cheek, then another to his forehead, his nose and ultimately to his lips. They stole a kiss here and there, it wasn’t really a big deal now when they were promised to each other and the wedding was in only two weeks but this was different.

Jeongguk kissed him deeper than before and Taehyung could feel his body melt into the soft mattress.

Soon the alpha was lying on the bed next to Taehyung, kissing him slowly and deeply while he was caressing his cheek.

“I can’t wait for us to be finally together,” Jeongguk whispered when he broke the kiss and rested their foreheads together.

“We are together every day,” the omega chuckled.

“You know what I mean,” the alpha pulled back: “I wanna make you mine, properly.” Taehyung bit his lips at the indication of the words. He knew that those words weren’t holding just the abstract aspect but also physical. He’d never admit it out loud but he couldn’t wait for that either. He felt his body pulling towards Jeongguk the closer they were, it was like an invisible force and he couldn’t wait to give himself to the alpha in the most intimate way possible.

“I can’t wait to kiss you and touch you properly,” Jeongguk breathed out and leaned in to kiss Taehyung’s jaw. His hand was stroking Taehyung’s hips and the omega felt shivers running down his spine.

“I can’t wait to claim you as mine,” Jeongguk whispered and planted a kiss over the scent glad where the claiming mark was being placed. The omega whimpered quietly.

“What would happen if I did it right now?” the alpha looked at Taehyung.

“Our parents would kill us if we did it before the wedding,” Taehyung chuckled.

“True,” Jeongguk sighed, sounding almost disappointed. He trapped Taehyung’s lips with his again, kissing him more urgently. Taehyung’s mind and body were responding to the kiss almost on their own accord. He could feel the need to submit to the alpha, to feel his hands and lips on him.

“I can’t wait to take you, Taehyung,” Jeongguk groaned, kissing the omega’s neck: “You have no idea how hard it is for me to be with you all the time and having to hold back.”

Taehyung felt tremors going through his body at the thought of Jeongguk lying above him, being connected with him in the most intimate way possible.

“I can’t wait to make you mine properly and to have our pups with you one day,” the alpha confessed, looking at the older intently. Taehyung almost moaned.

“Kiss me, Jeongguk,” Taehyung said in a quiet, almost desperate voice and the alpha happily complied because he couldn’t deny his omega anything. They were kissing for so long, until their lips were sore.

“I should go,” Jeongguk whispered when he pulled back after a while. He could feel that if he stayed with Taehyung like this any longer, he couldn’t wait for the wedding night.

“Yes, that’s probably a good idea,” Taehyung nodded breathlessly. He didn’t want Jeongguk to really go, he’d love to share his bed with him, just lie and cuddle with him but he knew that if anyone was to find out, they’d get in trouble.

As if Jeongguk could read his mind, he smiled and said: “Only two more weeks, my love, and then we will be allowed to be together whenever we want.”

The wedding couldn’t come any faster.

*

“I am so nervous, Jiminie,” Taehyung shuffled in front of the mirror.

“You have nothing to be afraid of, my prince,” Jimin tried to comfort him as he was helping him into a beautiful white hanbok, made specifically for this occasion.

“I know, I am sure of my decision to marry Jeongguk but it is still a big day. What if something goes wrong?”

“Everything will be just fine, you will say your vows and become husbands for the rest of your lives. Then you will have a beautiful celebration and seal the promise with the wedding night,” the older reassured him as he was putting the jewellery and a headpiece on the omega.

“About the wedding night,” Taehyung looked at Jimin through the mirror nervously: “My mother told me about it of course but…what if I do something wrong? What if I don’t know what to do? What if I disappoint Jeongguk?”

“I don’t think you could ever disappoint the prince, he’s clearly head over heels for you,” Jimin snickered but then his face softened: “But don’t worry, when the moment comes, you will know what to do and it will be beautiful because you love each other.”

“You’re right,” Taehyung nodded. He was nervous but he was also excited. He always felt so overwhelmed whenever he and Jeongguk were close, he could only imagine that it will be much more intense at that moment.

“Look at you, so gorgeous, darling,” Taehyung mother greeted him in front of the hall where the ceremony was held, standing there with his father when he came down. She already had tears in her eyes just like on Seokjin’s wedding. Both of their sons will be married now and Taehyung was going to stay here in this kingdom.

“You think Jeongguk will like me?” the omega asked sheepishly.

His mother caressed his cheeks and smiled, saying quietly: “If he wouldn’t, he’d be the stupidest alpha alive.”

The double door opened and Taehyung heard the music. He breathed out and linked his arms with his parents by his sides. They slowly led him to the hall. Taehyung spotted Seokjin and Namjoon in the front. His older brother was already wiping tears. The other guests of noble families that were invited were watching him, all eyes were on him and he was pleased when he noticed faces of astonishment.

Then Taehyung’s gaze fell on Jeongguk, standing in the front with his parents and the priest. The alpha looked so polished and handsome in the dark blue hanbok and Taehyung felt like the luckiest man alive.

Jeongguk almost stopped breathing when he saw Taeyhung. He looked so beautiful in the white gown, his golden skin was almost shining and he was smiling brightly. He couldn’t believe that he was going to start sharing the rest of his life with him in just few minutes.

Jeongguk gave Taehyung a subtle smile when he finally stood in front of him. Taehyung blushed. Even after all this time, Jeongguk could make him blush no matter what.

They both listened to the priest saying his words, occasionally responding. They said their pre-written vows as the priest tied a golden rope around their linked hands.

“Now I proclaim you husbands and mates for life,” the priest concluded the ceremony. Taehyung laughed shakily when he turned to look at Jeongguk. The alpha was smiling at him brightly and leaned in to plant a gentle kiss to his lips. The music started playing and they turned around to face the guests and their families. It happened, they got married.

The wedding feast was nothing short of delicious. They had traditional meals of both of their kingdoms, concluded with a beautiful cake from the best bakery in the city under the palace. Taehyung and Jeongguk were almost lost in their own world the whole time, whispering together and laughing. Jeongguk was occasionally feeding the other and Taehyung was giggling.

After the lunch, the time for their first dance came so they went to the middle of the hall and waited for the music to start playing.

“Do you remember our first dance?” Jeongguk asked quietly, eyes on Taehyung only.

“Of course I do,” the omega nodded with a blush.

“I fell for you that evening and it only grew since then. You are mine now and I am yours, for the rest of our lives,” Jeongguk tightened his hold around Taehyung’s waist, hugging him. Taehyung felt like in a dream. What started in this very room months ago grew into something so beautiful. When he went to the ball, he had no idea that his life would change forever but he was truly happy right now.

Later, Taehyung and Jeongguk were going around, chatting with the guest, receiving congratulations and gifts from them.

Finally when Taehyung was free, he came over to Seokjin who was sitting alone while Namjoon was chatting with some alphas.

“So how do you feel?” the older asked, smiling at his brother fondly.

“I am really happy, hyung,” Taehyung admitted.

“I can tell. I know you and Jeongguk will be happy together,” Seokjin leaned in and planted a kiss on his cheek.

“Mother prepared you for the wedding night, right?” Seokjin asked when he pulled back.

“Yes, she told me everything,” Taehyung nodded but then fiddled with his fingers: “But I am still nervous. I don’t know if I’ll know what to do, I wanna make Jeongguk happy.”

“Don’t worry about it, pup,” Seokjin smiled, caressing his cheek: “Jeongguk will take care of you, it’s his duty and it’s in his nature. Just follow your heart, your body and your instincts, they will tell you what to do when the moment comes.”

Taehyung nodded, feeling slightly better.

“And who knows, maybe there will be small pups crying in couple of months. It would be lovely if my and Namjoon’s pups had little cousins,” the older added with a cryptic smile.

“Oh my lord, really?!” Taehyung shrieked in excitement, quickly covering his mouth because he had to behave: “Why didn’t you say anything?”

“I found out a week ago and I wanted you to focus on the preparations and the wedding, it is a big day for you,”

“How many do you think there will be?”

“Let’s not think so ahead, alright? There is still a lot of time left,” Seokjin laughed.

“I am so happy for you, hyung,” Taehyung admitted with happy tears in his eyes.

“Now go to your groom and enjoy the rest of the evening, this is your day,” Seokjin patted the younger’s shoulder. The younger pressed a kiss to his cheek and went over back to the alpha. Jeongguk smiled at him, immediately wrapping a secure arm around him. Taehyung felt truly amazing.

When the celebrations were over, it was already a dark night. Taehyung went with Jeongguk to his chamber, he never saw it before. It was spacious and nice. He noticed that his things were put in here and Taehyung smiled at the thought of them sharing the chamber and bed from now on. He was suddenly really nervous, taking couple of deep breaths.

“Relax, my love, I will take good care of you,” Jeongguk whispered and took his cheeks in his large palms. Then he leaned in and planted a kiss to Taehyung’s forehead. The omega could feel himself relaxing as the alpha was letting out soothing pheromones. He knew that everything will be alright.

Jeongguk led him to the large bed but they stayed up on their feet. The alpha gave him a reassuring smile and leaned in to connect their lips. Taehyung immediately melted, the feeling of Jeongguk’s lips was already familiar and he felt more and more comfortable.

Jeongguk pulled back after a while and started gently taking off Taehyung’s jewellery. The omega was standing still, completely pliant under the other’s hands. His breathing got faster when the younger reached for his clothes and started undressing him.

“So gorgeous,” Jeongguk whispered emotionally when Taehyung was standing there completely naked. He felt exposed and embarrassed but those feelings melted away when Jeongguk started pressing hot kisses to his neck and shoulders.

The alpha pulled back after a while to get rid of his own clothes. Taehyung was watching him with a lip trapped between his teeth.

He felt a wave of strong arousal running through his body when Jeongguk finally shed all his clothes, standing there in all his glory. He was so tall and so muscular and beautiful and Taehyung felt something animalistic waking up inside him.

Jeongguk gently took his shoulders and lowered him on the bed so he was comfortably lying on the soft pillow. The alpha then lied next to him, kissing him deeply.

Taehyung didn’t even realize that he started letting out tiny whimpers when Jeongguk’s hand started running up and down his side. The skin to skin touch felt incredibly electrifying and their kisses deepened. He almost gasped when he felt Jeongguk’s cock filling against his thigh. The alphas were usually large and he felt suddenly nervous about how he will be able to take him and please him.

“Is everything alright, darling?” Jeongguk pulled back to look at Taehyung when he smelled the slight distress.

“Yes, I just…” Taehyung stopped himself for a bit: “I wanna be good for you Jeongguk, I wanna make you happy.”

“You already are good, love, I am so happy,” the alpha reassured him with a kiss to his neck: “You are so good for me, so perfect.”

Taehyung moaned as he heard those words of reassurance and felt Jeongguk’s hand squeezing his butt cheek. He felt a wetness on inside of his thighs as Jeongguk kept kissing him.

“Oh, honey, you smell so good,” Jeongguk groaned in a deep voice. Taehyung moaned at the sound of the voice. He gasped when he felt a hand between his thighs. The alpha growled lowly against his neck.

“So wet for your alpha,” Jeongguk looked at the older with dark eyes. Taehyung noticed a flash of crimson in his irises, knowing that his animal side was appearing.

Jeongguk continued peppering kisses all over the omega’s skin, whispering praises along the way. He knew about the importance of the praise, he knew that omegas in these situations were very vulnerable and needy but he didn’t mind at all, he wanted to give Taehyung the whole world right now.

“Jeongguk,” Taehyung whimpered, tugging on the other’s arm. Jeongguk was doing such a great job distracting him and pleasuring him and all insecurities were gone, replaced by arousal and need. The slick was gushing from him to the silky sheets, making the whole room smell even better for the alpha.

“What do you want, pup, I’ll give you anything,” Jeongguk looked at him.

“Come here, please,” Taehyung almost whined and tugged the younger on top of him. He just wanted to feel Jeongguk’s body against his, feel the muscles and the security that came with it.

Jeongguk happily complied and climbed on top of Taehyung, supporting himself on his forearms and lying between his spread legs.

“Do you like this, my love? When I cover you with my body like this?” Jeongguk asked with a glint of smirk on his face.

“Yes, Jeongguk, please,” the omega whimpered, pulling the other down for a kiss and moaning when their bodies pressed together. Jeongguk was so big and strong and he felt absolutely amazing right now, it was a mixture of security and dominance, both of the things that he needed the most right now.

“You have no idea how long I’ve been aching to have you like this, my love,” Jeongguk admitted with slightly breathless voice.

Taehyung was a moaning mess after couple of minutes. Jeongguk was paying attention to every part of his upper body with his mouth while he was caressing his sides and thighs with his large hands. Taehyung almost felt like his body was burning in all the places the alpha touched but it was the best feeling ever.

“I am gonna make you feel so good, darling,” Jeongguk looked at the older with loving eyes, caressing his cheek. Taehyung believed him.

Taehyung’s back arched from the bed and more slick gushed from him when he felt fingers circling his rim. He could feel himself clenching around nothing, his body was getting ready to take the alpha.

Jeongguk grabbed a small cushion and slipped it under Taehyung’s ass for better access. Then he slowly pushed one finger in him, earning a sweet moan from him. He added a second finger almost immediately since he wasn’t met with much resistance.

“Does this feel good, love?” Jeongguk murmured, playing with one of Taehyung’s nipples.

“Yes, alpha, more!” Taehyung cried out brokenly as the other was stretching him. He’s always imagined this moment, ever since his mother had the talk with him about the wedding night and having pups and he was always slightly terrified but now everything felt so good. He trusted Jeongguk with his whole being and he felt almost overwhelmed by all the emotions he was feeling right now.

“You are so good, such a good omega for your alpha,” Jeongguk moved up to kiss him passionately. Taehyung keened into his mouth as he slid three fingers in him, stretching him and dragging the fingers slowly in and out. Taehyung felt a burning desire in his stomach, he felt the need to give himself to the alpha, to please him, to have his pups.

“Jeongguk,” Taehyung breathed out, making the alpha pull back from the kiss and look at him. Taehyung looked so beautiful right now and he couldn’t believe his luck.

“Take me,” the omega looked at the other intently. He was ready.

“Come here,” Jeongguk growled lowly, crushing his lips with his husband. He felt the beast waking up in him and he wanted nothing more than to please the omega and make him his.

“I am gonna claim you and make you mine,” Jeongguk growled, looking at the other with dark eyes, flicking a thumb over the scent gland.

“I am gonna knot you and breed you, fill you with my pups,” the alpha continued and thrusted his fingers inside the other, making him moan. Taehyung’s head was almost spinning, he wanted all those things and he wanted them with Jeongguk.

Jeongguk pulled out his fingers and positioned himself properly between the omega’s legs. He lined himself up with the wet entrance and started slowly pushing in at the same time as he leaned down and kissed Taehyung passionately.

Taehyung was panting as he felt the alpha’s large cock splitting him open. It was a bit painful but his body was quickly adjusting and he felt pleasure soon pooling in his stomach. Soon Jeongguk bottomed and they were connected in the most raw and intimate way possible.

“I love you so much, my love,” Jeongguk choked out with emotional voice, gathering all his strength not to start slamming into the omega right away.

“I love you, my prince,” Taehyung smiled gently, bringing Jeongguk down by his cheeks to kiss him. The alpha slowly pulled out and pushed back in, repeating the action couple of times. They were panting against each other’s mouth, sharing an eye contact as the heat started building up between them.

“Faster, alpha, please, take me!” Taehyung whimpered desperately. He burned with the most primal desire, he wanted Jeongguk to take him completely.

“I love you so much, Taehyung, so perfect, so good,” Jeongguk breathed out as he started thrusting in and out, picking up his speed. A growl ripped through his throat as he felt the animal trying to break free.

“Claim me, Jeongguk, make me yours!” Taehyung cried out when a wave of pleasure shot up his spine as the younger hit something deep inside him that made his toes curl. Jeongguk growled under his breath and he couldn’t hold back. He started pounding into the omega, gripping his thighs tightly as he buried his face into his neck, sniffing at the delicious scent.

Jeongguk slowed down his movements momentarily as he flicked his tongue over the scent gland, making the other moan. His fangs automatically came out as his body prepared for the mating cycle.

Finally Jeongguk sank his teeth in Taehyung’s neck, tasting the iron on his tongue. The omega trashed under him in a mixture of pain and pleasure. Jeongguk pulled out the teeth and soothed the newly formed mark with his tongue.

“Now you are mine,” the alpha groaned possessively, looking down at his lover. His mind went to overdrive and he started fucking into Taeyhung in a punishing speed. The older was moaning and whimpering, feeling the pleasure building up in his stomach.

Jeongguk wrapped his arms around Taehyung’s waist and sat back on his heels, bringing the smaller man with him so he was sitting on his lap now.

Jeongguk crushed their lips together again as he started moving his hips up. Taehyung wrapped his arms around his neck, whimpering and staring into Jeongguk’s dark eyes. After a while, he started bouncing on him to meet his thrusts. He could feel Jeongguk’s cock slowly swelling inside him.

“Knot me, alpha, breed me,” Taehyung got out in a raspy voice. Jeongguk growled, fucking his hips up into the tight wet heat even quicker. The knot started forming on the base of his cock and he felt his insides getting tighter.

Soon the knot caught on Taehyung’s rim, stretching him impossibly. Jeongguk got out a ferocious growl as his climax hit him with full force, his eyes glowing red. His hips stuttered and he shot his load deep inside the omega, filling him to the brim.

Taehyung threw his head back in pleasure at the feeling and his own orgasm washed over him. He came hard in thick white ropes over both of their stomachs. The feeling of Jeongguk inside him, his come and the thought that maybe they will expect pups after tonight just prolonged his pleasure.

By the time Taehyung came from his height, he was almost limp. Jeongguk kissed him tenderly and lowered them slowly down so he was lying on his back and Taehyung on top of him, knot still connecting them.

“How do you feel, darling?” Jeongguk asked softly, brushing Taehyung’s damp hair from his forehead and peppering his face with feathery kisses.

“Perfect,” Taehyung smiled sleepily: “I love you so much, Jeongguk.”

“I love you too, my love,” the alpha replied with a smile, planning a kiss to the other’s forehead and caressing his sides soothingly as the sleep took over Taehyung.

Two months after the wedding, Jeongguk’s coronation was held. He was married now so he met all the conditions to become a king. His father retired and Jeongguk officially became the leader of the kingdom. Taehyung officially sat down on a throne by his side.

Three months after the wedding, Taehyung found out that he was expecting. When he told Jeongguk the happy news, it was the first time he saw the alpha cry. Jeongguk fell down on his knees in front of Taehyung, hugging him around his waist and buried his face into his soft stomach, mumbling unintelligible words.

Taehyung was truly happy, he still couldn’t believe that he found an alpha that genuinely loved him and he loved him back. He found his happily ever after.
