Prologue

Neither cursed nor sick, yet the Alphas in the country Lanark never dares to mate with the most beautiful pure blood Omega one could ever find. His beauty is indeed praised even more than the prettiest flowers. However, none of those flowers can never be compared to his crotchety behaviour contradicting to his ethereal beauty.

Hence, the most beautiful Omega Kim Taehyung is prominently known as 'the devil urchin', an untamed, ill-mannered, emotionless bratty bi*ch. Servants, maids, and even his own family detest him but also fear his headstrong attitude.

None can predict how the omega might react. Initially, in the late teenage days, his father thought Taehyung might be mentally unstable. He took his son to numerous healers, spending as much wealth as he could. All the healers had only one thing to say, "he is not sick; he is just an ungovernable spirit with fiery temper who has problems with his attitude."

It seems unlikely, indeed impossible that any Alpha would ever be found who would venture to marry this Omega, and therefore his father Kim Taejun pack leader of Kim clan, was much blamed for deferring his consent to many excellent offers that were made to his Alpha son Kim Namjoon. They live by the rule that omegas should be married off before Alphas if the omega is on their mating age.

Alpha Namjoon, neither loathe nor love his baby brother. He has been thankful to Taehyung for being the reason for the riddance of all the other proposals until lately. Now he has laid his eyes on  an Omega from their same clan Kim Seokjin, so Namjoon wants Taehyung to be married off as soon as possible.

"Sir, the pack Alpha is asking for your presence in his office." A maid came to inform. Taehyung was reading a book by the garden wall when he was interrupted.

He closed the book with a loud thud, eyes closed in distress. "Are you new here?" He asked calmly. The maid nodded in fear. Obviously, she had heard about the devil urchin. However, she wasn't sure until now. "Are you blind?" Taehyung asked again, eyes still close. "N-No S-sir, I'm no-not blind." The poor maid stammered.

"THEN WHY CAN'T YOU SEE I'M READING?" Taehyung yelled, throwing the book at the maid. "Y-your fa- father is calling you. I-" The maid responded with tears threatening to fall.

"That old man can wait. I hate it when I'm disturbed while reading. You are fired. Never show me your face again, bloody bugger." Taehyung stormed out of the room, kicking a flower vase to break into pieces.

"TAEHYUNG.." Taejun called out his raging son. Taehyung paused to look at his father. "Is it another suitor that you want me to meet? How many times should I tell you that I would never mate with anyone? Let hyung marry his chosen Omega, I don't care about these traditional beliefs."

"You know very well that your mother was an ardent believer in these traditions. If she was still alive—." Taejun was cut off by his son outrageously. "Well, she is dead. So are her traditions. You don't have to always bring her up while talking to me. She is the reason for my ruined life." Taehyung walked past his father, off to the gazebo by the garden.

The lush green grass surrounding the gazebo filled with the scents of the blooming roses beside it. Taehyung often spends his time alone there, sometimes reading a book or simply lost in thoughts.

Some say he sits there because he misses his mother, the only Omega he has ever been close with. He doesn't have any friends, and neither is he close with any of his relatives. None wants to befriend him as well.

As the maid came in with his evening tea, her hands trembling in fear laid down the tray on the small table in the gazebo. She poured the camomile tea from the extravagant teapot into the cup.

The moment Taehyung sipped the tea, he spit it out and threw the cup away. "Today is Thursday. Don't you know I drink wild ginseng tea? All of you are just useless idiots." The Omega yelled at the other Beta maid.

"Sir, last Thursday you told us to bring Camomile tea, that's why I-." The maid began to cry.

"HOW DARE YOU LIE STRAIGHT ONTO MY FACE? Leave if you want to see your family again." Taehyung stood up furiously and march out from the gazebo.

The father and his sons sat down for the supper. Taehyung, as usual, began to complain about his food -either overcooked or undercooked, bland or too salty, spicy, or too sweet. Taejun and Namjoon are so used to this drama that they don't bother intervening the matters.

When the table fell silent at last, Taejun looked at his younger son. "Taehyung, your grandfather had sent me a letter today. They want you to meet-." Taejun trailed off when a guard came in to inform about visitors.

"Isn't it too late for visitors?" Namjoon asked his father. Taejun is unaware of this as well. Both Alphas rose to their feet, alerting the guards. Soon came in three men along with the guards of the Kims.

"They have come from the north, claiming you knew his father very well." One of the guards explained. Those three men bowed their heads. One of them wears common clothes that of a servant's, whereas the other two wore fine silk.

"Mr Kim, first of all, apologies for the unannounced visit at this hour. Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Jeon Jungkook, pack Alpha of the country Atholl, son of Jeon Junwoo." The stranger knelt his one knee down, still bowing his head.

"Junwoo? Oh, of course I know him. Get up, son, and tell me your purpose for this visit." Taejun stepped forward, signalling his guards to relax.

Jungkook rose to his feet, eyes wandering behind the shoulders of the two Alphas. A tranquil smile graced his lips as his gaze met the infamous Omega. "I have come here to ask your Omega son's hands for marriage."
