King of the Wolves(Taekook)
The Alpha’s Bed, The Omega’s Terror
Dawn — Alpha King’s Private Wing
Warm sunlight spilled through tall windows, brushing across silk sheets and carved obsidian walls. Everything was too quiet… too soft.
Taehyung opened his eyes slowly, squinting in confusion.
This wasn't the infirmary.
He bolted upright—
Only to realize…
He was in a massive bed. A royal one. Jungkook’s.
His scent was everywhere—pine, storm, wolf. The blankets were made of thick fur and velvet, and the air was laced with something intoxicatingly comforting.
But all Taehyung felt… was panic.
Kim Taehyung
Where—where am I?! V!
( he cried out mentally, clutching the sheets.)
V
We’re still in the fortress.
( V said cautiously.)
But we’re not in danger. Not yet.
Before he could make a decision to flee again, the door creaked open.
Jeon Jungkook
(Jungkook stepped in, shirt half-buttoned, hair wet from a morning run.)
He paused when he saw Taehyung awake — and alert like a cornered animal.
Jeon Jungkook
I didn’t mean to scare you.
( he said softly, placing a small tray of food on the table.)
Jeon Jungkook
The healers said you shouldn’t be alone. You… had night terrors.
Kim Taehyung
(Taehyung’s face burned.)
You brought me to your room?
Jeon Jungkook
I trust no one with you.
That answer left Taehyung speechless. He couldn’t fathom it.
Trust? Him?
Kim Taehyung
(He shook his head frantically.)
I-I can sleep on the floor. You don’t have to—
Jeon Jungkook
You won’t sleep on the floor.
(Jungkook’s voice held the faintest edge. Not angry. Protective.)
Jeon Jungkook
You’re not trash, Taehyung. Not in my pack.
Taehyung bit his lip. His instincts screamed to reject the kindness. But a tiny part of him… wanted to believe it.
Kim Taehyung
…Why are you doing this?
( he whispered.)
You don’t even know me.
Jungkook stepped closer, but still didn’t touch him.
Jeon Jungkook
I don’t know everything about you, no.
( he said.)
But my wolf recognized you.
Kim Taehyung
(Taehyung blinked.)
Jeon Jungkook
(Jungkook tilted his head slightly.)
Do you feel it too?
Kim Taehyung
(Taehyung looked away.)
…I don’t know what I’m supposed to feel.
Meanwhile — Council Archives Room
Yoongi flipped through forbidden files, dust thick on the pages.
Yoongi(A)
Frost Hollow Omega Experimentation Logs.
(he read aloud.)
Yoongi(A)
Targeted subjects: young omegas with unusual core signatures. Objective: weaponization of rare latent abilities.
Namjoon (A)
(Namjoon looked grim.)
How many survived?
Yoongi(A)
(Yoongi’s hand clenched.)
…Only one name remains unaccounted for.
He turned the file to Namjoon.
A blurry photo. A small boy with tear-streaked cheeks and defiant eyes.
Yoongi(A)
Subject 13 — Codename: V.
Namjoon (A)
(Namjoon’s expression hardened.)
That’s him. That’s Taehyung.
Back in the Alpha’s Room
Jungkook set down warm tea and returned to the bed's edge.
Jeon Jungkook
You don’t have to trust me now.
( he said.)
But I’ll earn it. I’ll teach you how to live freely.
Taehyung met his gaze for the first time.
And for a heartbeat… he didn’t flinch.
