Namjoon... did not like mating season.

Well that was a lie, he liked mating season, spring was his favourite season, green starting to pop up everywhere and the weather getting warmer, making him able to lie in both his human and wolf form to enjoy the sunshine.

It was more the mating part of the mating season that he struggled with.

The mating season always meant a mating run, back in the day it was a terrifying thing, a time when omegas would be sent to run only to be taken and claimed against their will, but nowadays it was much more modern, and mainly used as a way for alphas to express their intention towards an omega.

Yes, sometimes they would mate that night, with the moon and stars as their witnesses, and the alpha would carry the omega home to their den, covering them in furs that the alpha themselves had hunted. It was a traditional way to show that the alpha would always keep the omega warm, but there wasn't always mating with it.

One thing was always clear, an omega would always be hunted, by at least a few alphas, and then they would choose which one they would spend the night with. Be that talking or mating.

There were many more alphas than omegas in the pack, so an omega not being hunted was something unheard of.

That was until Namjoon came along.

Namjoon had always known he was different, and so had everybody else. It was hard to miss since Namjoon didn't really look like an omega, and it was even worse when he was just a kid. Back then he was easily a head or more taller than even alphas. It was something that stood out, while his growth had slowed, he was still taller than most of his alpha year mates.

He was tall and lean, nothing like his fellow omegas, he put on muscle quicker than even betas. His facial features were rough as well, always much stronger and fitting those of an alpha much better.

Maybe he would have found love in a different pack, a warrior pack where omegas with his built were adored, but there was just one problem. Namjoon didn't have the personality to pack up his looks.

When people saw him they always assumed that he was a fighter, that he was somebody who could throw a punch and fight like a warrior, but Namjoon was more of a lover type.

He was well known in the pack as a treehugger, he helped run the agriculture of the pack, even though that was normally a beta's job. His den was filled with tiny little plants, and he had made sure that there were enough holes so they could get sunlight, something completely unnatural for wolves like them.

So yeah, Namjoon was different, but he hadn't thought it would be that bad! Yeah, he was a little strange, but with a ratio of 3 alpha's per 1 omega somebody would have to be interested in him, right?! Maybe not enough to go straight for mating, but watching the stars and holding hands would have been enough for Namjoon.

So for his first year during the mating run, he ran at a fast, but not a too fast pace, towards the hill that only he knew how to find. It was the perfect spot to watch the moonrise and the stars dance, nobody else came there cause they had to cross a dangerous river, but if you were fast like Namjoon, and clever, you could easily do it.

He was happy and eager for somebody to join him. Namjoon would be lying if he said that didn't have his eyes on a few different alphas, but he was more than happy to start the first steps of courting with pretty much anybody.

Somebody had to join him on the hill, right? He stayed in his wolf form, but while waiting he worked on making the area comfortable for whoever would join him, gathering some of spring's early flowers and soft moss that would make it comfortable for them, no matter what they would be getting up to.

'Cause somebody had to join him on the hill, right?

Namjoon was different and maybe a little weird, but there was no way that he would be the first omega in the last 100 years to not be hunted in his first year. He was not that strange! Mother said that he was a good boy!

When his little spot was perfect, he curled around himself and his tail, looking up at the moon while waiting to see who would join him. He waited with a little smile on his face while trying to keep the shakes out of his body.

And waited.

And waited.

And waited.

The sun had started to come up when Namjoon finally admitted to himself that nobody was coming. He... had not been hunted.

Going back to the pack was the worst feeling he had ever felt before. Going back home, having to look everybody in the eyes, having them know that nobody wanted him; that was somehow worse than everything that came before it.

He was lucky that nobody was cruel, everybody just looked at him with sad eyes as he made his way to his den, trying his best not to look at anybody, not changing out of his wolf form for even a moment.

Only when he had gotten into his den, the scent of flowers and plants surrounding him, did he change back into his human form, finding solace in his nest made of furs given to him by his family... not courting furs as he had hoped.

He had never been much of a crier, but that night, the tears just wouldn't stop coming. He had known he was weird, but he hadn't known that he was this weird! That nobody would have wanted him! That he would be doomed to be alone.

Too big.

Too tall.

Too strange.

Too much everything, and not enough omega.

His parents... had not been surprised. That was probably what hurt the most.

Their only child was the first omega in over 100 years to fail to be hunted. You would have assumed that they would be surprised, or sad for him, but they just looked at him with soft eyes and didn't talk about it.

It was most likely meant to help him, to not pour salt in the wound that nobody wanted him, but that didn't help! He needed somebody to talk to, he needed somebody to tell him that he wasn't the problem, that it would be okay.

His friends ignored it, didn't even mention it.

Logically, and Namjoon did like to believe himself logical, he knew that the reason they did that was to not make it awkward. It wasn't helping, it was just making him feel worse as he saw his friends and littermates with their new mates, some of them already having full mates, and others being courted.

The only ones without mates were some of the betas and alphas, either having been rejected during the hunt or not managing to actually catch a mate during the hunt.

Namjoon was not proud to admit it, but it gave him hope! Maybe that was the problem, it wasn't that nobody wanted him, he had just been way too fast! Yeah, that had to be it! Next year he would go slower, make sure that alphas who wanted him could actually keep up with him.

That was what had to have happened!

It was just a fluke!

It wasn't that nobody had wanted Namjoon, it was that nobody had a chance to keep up with him!

That made sense, at least in Namjoon's desperate mind, and it made the rest of the year a lot easier to deal with. He ignored the happiness of his friends and focused on what he was good at, making things grow and using his brain.

Maybe alpha's would like him better if he showed that he was good at stuff.

Namjoon put a new even harder effort into working the farms with the rest of the team. Maybe if he showed that he didn't need to be provided for, that he could provide, alphas would like him more!

He missed how the rest of the pack saw it, they didn't see it as Namjoon showing what he could do, how he could be a good omega, instead they saw it as Namjoon showing how he didn't need an alpha, how he was more than fine without one.

After all, one of the things that alphas were meant to show to an omega during courting, was the fact that the alpha could provide, so Namjoon proving that he couldn't just provide for himself, but also for everybody around him, yeah... that was to everybody else just a sign that he had no interest nor need for alphas.

It was sad, when you looked at it, that Namjoon's attempts to show off how good an omega he was only served to show that he didn't need an alpha.

At least it gave him hope, hope that would be crushed completely come next mating season.

Namjoon had managed to keep his mood up, even if it was a struggle with how everybody looked at him with pity, he had managed to convince himself that it really just was the fact that he had run too fast! It had to be! There was no way that he wouldn't be picked for a second year in a row!

Last year had 3 different omegas who were close to middle-aged, with mates who died and left them alone, and even they had been hunted by more than one person, so of course, Namjoon would be hunted!

He would finally get to have that happy ending that he dreamed about.

Because Namjoon wanted that happy ending, he wanted somebody to spend his time with. He didn't want to be alone, he wanted to love and to be loved. He wanted to be able to show somebody all the love he was giving his plants, he wanted somebody who would love him in return. Somebody, he could return home to; a warm den filled with laughter and happy moments, one not just filled with his own scent.

He wanted somebody to start a family with, somebody he could raise pups with and have the family he always dreamed of. Not the cold family he came from, but one based on love, with somebody who would hold him at night, and love even the small weird parts of him.

Was that too much to want?

Was wanting to be loved too much?

Namjoon tried his best not to think about it, to only fill himself with happy thoughts. Hope was the key to everything, and that he was filled with.

As he took wolf form on the evening of his second mating chase, he was once again filled with hope, he knew that it was gonna happen this time! He had spent the year preparing, he had seen people watching him!

What he didn't seem to realise was that people were watching him with pity, not because they were wanting to claim him.

He was normally so clever, but his desperation for love destroyed his objectivity. He could only see what he wanted to see.

When he started his run, he made sure to be slow, even taking a few moments to chase a firefly in lazy circles, making sure to spread his scent everywhere, so that anybody who wanted to follow and find him could do so.

The eagerness from the last hunt was setting in again, as he slowly, oh so slowly made a trot towards the river where he would cross to get to the hill. This time Namjoon would not risk it, he would make sure to leave scent marks all over the crossing so that the alphas hunting him could actually find him.

This time when he made it to his favourite stargazing hill, the time was much later than the first run, but that was okay, he wouldn't have to wait as long for an alpha to come to find him.

As he made himself comfortable on the hill, head on his paws staring at the moon that was already in the sky with stars dancing around him, he let himself wonder which alpha would be chasing him, hunting for him.

Of course, he had favourites, but he was willing to accept anybody, anybody who was willing to accept him was somebody worth it in Namjoon's eyes!

Once again, he followed the moon rise to its highest point, before going back down as it bid farewell to the stars and welcomed the soft spring sun.

Nobody had hunted him.

Once again, Namjoon was alone on the hill.

Once again, he hadn't been picked.

He had never even heard of an omega who hadn't been picked on their 2nd run.

Namjoon was crushed, there was no other way around it. This time he didn't even go back to the pack, he stayed on the hill, curled in on himself for the entire day, first daring to return home under the cover of darkness when nobody could see his shame.

Something inside of Namjoon broke that day, as he pulled in on himself, building up a wall to protect, if he was to be alone, he refused to show the world just how much it hurt him.

So what if he had to be alone, so what? He didn't need anybody! It didn't matter that at night he would cry, none of that would matter one bit! Namjoon didn't need anybody! Especially not an alpha when they had shown how much they didn't want him in return.

He was gonna show them.

Again, just like the year before, nobody said anything, but Namjoon could no longer deny that they were looking at him with pity. All of them, no matter their subgender were clearly feeling pity for him, but none of them said anything, even his good friends.

Namjoon wasn't stupid, he knew that they wasn't cruel or mean, that they really felt sorry for him, that they wanted him to feel better, but unsure of how to help they found saying nothing was better than saying something that hurt him.

The side effect to that was that it just made Namjoon feel that they were ashamed of him, that they wanted nothing to do with what happened. It made him unable to heal, instead just having his heart harden, as he threw himself into everything going on around him.

If alphas didn't want to love him, didn't want to give him the time of the day, he wouldn't care about them.

The thing was, there was one alpha who wanted to give him the time of day, one alpha who wanted to love him more than he could ever explain, he just happened to not be there during either of the mating runs.

Jeon Jungkook was the only child of the pack leaders, having 2 littermates who were both stillborn. His parents failing to have any more children made them very protective of Jungkook as he was their only child, and the only heir to the pack.

There was also the fact that Jungkook was born sickly and a runt, smaller than most alphas his age. He had needed to work hard to not only build up muscle tone, but just survive, as his body fought him every step of the way.

There was one thing, all throughout Jungkook's childhood, as he slowly fought through the bad hand life had given him, and that was the fact that he was in love with Namjoon. The omega was only a year older than Jungkook, and no matter what Jungkook was doing, Namjoon was always kind to him.

When Jungkook had been struggling to stay in his wolf form, and nobody wanted anything to do with him, Namjoon had helped, giving Jungkook tips and cheering him on.

Jungkook knew that Namjoon probably didn't remember, back then, even with people treating him poorly, he was a social butterfly, he was always helping people, maybe Jungkook wasn't special to Namjoon, but Namjoon was special to him.

Namjoon was the one person his own age that had shown him kindness when he was still a runt, and Jungkook was head over heels in love with the omega, before he even knew what love meant. As they grew older, they spoke less and less, which made sense in all honesty, it wasn't as if they had much in common with each other, they were from completely different classes, but Jungkook never forgot about Namjoon.

Whenever the omega would walk close by, Jungkook's eyes would follow him, trying his best not to be creepy; from puppy crush to a real crush to love.

Jungkook had known since he was old enough to understand what it meant, that he was gonna hunt Namjoon during the mating hunt. There was nobody who caught Jungkook's eye the way Namjoon did.

It was Namjoon who had first made Jungkook understand what 'feeling your alpha' meant, and not in the creepy rapey way, but feeling somebody whose soul and inner omega spoke to your inner alpha so much, that you could almost feel it purr in your chest.

Namjoon was amazing, so clever, so pretty, so everything and Jungkook wanted him badly, and the more he grew up the more that want and love turned less... innocent. He wanted to hunt Namjoon, to claim and court, but he wouldn't get the chance.

The reality was that while Jungkook was growing stronger he was still a runt, and his parents, overprotective as they were, didn't dare to actually send him out on a hunt, nor did they dare to let him go through the rite of adulthood that all alphas did before they could become 'adults' in the eyes of the pack.

They sent him away, to an allied pack in the north, a warrior pack that would train him and make him strong, so they no longer had to worry about what would happen to him, so he could be ready to take over as pack alpha.

Jungkook tried to fight it, even if he couldn't be there during Namjoon's mating run, he wanted to at least tell the omega to reconsider picking an alpha during the run, maybe beg him to wait for the next year when it was Jungkook's turn to join!

He never got a chance to do anything, as his mother, the pack alpha, threw him to the ground in his wolf form, teeth around his neck, forcing him to submit to her. The next day he was escorted to the other pack, leaving behind Namjoon.

Jungkook mourned his lost love for the first many months with the other pack, no omega ever went uncourted after a mating run, and he couldn't imagine how somebody like Namjoon wouldn't be picked!

Somehow he had lost the love of his life without even doing anything, life really wasn't fucking fair.

Luckily for everybody, he didn't get much time to sulk, as the allied pack's heir took no pity on Jungkook, working him hard every day to build up his strength.

At first, Jungkook hated him, thought that he was somebody who wanted to abuse and push Jungkook, but the more time they spent together, Jungkook came to know the man and understand him. He pushed Jungkook hard, but he only did so because he knew that not only could Jungkook take it, but he needed it.

The two of them both knew exactly how dangerous it could be to be the heir, and it was likely that when Jungkook finally took his spot as the pack alpha, he could be challenged for the right to lead, so he needed to be as strong as possible.

As time passed they grew closer, and when Jungkook finally told him about Namjoon, the heir, whose name was Jackson, used it as a motivation for Jungkook to work harder.

He needed to be stronger and steadier, he needed to be able to protect his omega. If he wanted to be the best alpha for Namjoon, then he needed to be stronger! So he trained, and he fought with his body until the weakness of being a runt had left him.

Every night as he looked up at the stars, he wondered if Namjoon was looking at the same set of soft dancing stars. He always tried not to think about what would happen during Namjoon's mating run, he knew it was unlikely that Namjoon was alone, but maybe if Jungkook was lucky, he was being courted and not already mated!

If Namjoon was being courted, then the rules said that Jungkook still had the right to present himself to Namjoon as an option, even before he was allowed to do the mating run.

So he trained hard; the harder he trained, the faster he would be allowed back. The harder he trained, the sooner he would get to see Namjoon again.

Jungkook was there for almost two full years, which would be two full mating runs that he would miss, making the chance of Namjoon to be unmated even less likely, but he refused to give up. He loved Namjoon, and he was not gonna give up on him!

As long as Namjoon was only being courted, Jungkook could challenge that alpha for the right to also court Namjoon, even though he hadn't gone through the rite of adulthood yet.

That second mating run away from home, Jungkook watched as Jackson chased the same omega for the 4th year in a row. A cute petite omega with a grin on his face.

Everybody in the pack knew better than to chase after Mark, he and Jackson were meant to be. Mark just liked playing around, wanting to make Jackson work for it, to prove that even if Jackson would be the pack alpha, he still had to work for things, he still had to work for Mark's love, and damn well if Jackson didn't love him.

Jungkook could see the appeal, but nothing in Mark even held a candle to the omega Jungkook wanted at home. Jungkook waited together with the rest of the allied pack that wasn't running. Jackson's parents, two cold, but fair older women, discussed between themselves if this would be the run, or if their son would once again fail at securing his omega's heart.

It seemed that they loved Mark as much as their son did, which was why they didn't mind the omega's antics, only lamenting the wait for grandpups.

Luckily for them, they didn't have to wait long, because, with the first ray of the sun, Jackson walked out of the forest into the big clearing the pack used as a home, Mark held in his hands as the younger man was seemingly asleep. It was Jackson's turn to grin, and Jungkook could easily see the claiming marks on both Jackson and Mark's necks, showing exactly what had happened between them.

Jungkook would never admit it, but he might have shed a little tear when Jackson walked past them, clearly wanting to show Mark home to the den that they would be sharing. Maybe Jungkook was a bit of a romantic at heart, but he also really wanted what he saw at that moment... with Namjoon.

He wanted one day to be able—and allowed to carry Namjoon like that, back to his den, or Namjoon's own den. (Jungkook knew he loved his plants, so if Namjoon wanted to live in that den instead, Jungkook was more than willing, as long as he was allowed to be there as well. It didn't matter that it wasn't traditional, all that mattered to Jungkook was making his omega happy!)

That was his goal, he needed to be stronger and better to deserve Namjoon, it had taken Jackson 4 years to win the heart of his omega, so it gave Jungkook hope that one day he, as well, would be able to do the same!

After that, he trained even harder and Jackson was more than happy to push him every step of the way, he of all people understood what it felt like to wanna win the heart of his love. He understood that being an heir and later a leader was important, but none of that was as important as being a good alpha for his omega.

Finally, 1 month before the next mating run, Jungkook got the letter from his family that he had finished his training, and was wanted at home.

It did ache a little to leave the allied pack behind, he had come to find friends in the pack, not only Jackson, but a tall beta named Yugyeom as well, and his cute mate BamBam. Plus a few other people that Jungkook would never forget, that helped him become an alpha that hopefully Namjoon would be proud of!

He ran home in a third of the time it took him to originally arrive at the allied pack, showing exactly how much he had grown during his training. He knew that both his wolf form and his human form had bulked up; now much stronger and ready to protect.

As he ran, he couldn't help but wonder if Namjoon would like his new form. Yes, in human form Jungkook would still be shorter than Namjoon, but that didn't matter! Shorter or not, Jungkook was now sure that he could carry his love to their shared den!

He arrived just as the sun was starting to set, the moon making its way up, the stars slowly peeking from behind grey clouds. It was winter, so it wasn't actually that late, still early enough that Jungkook could catch Namjoon leaving his work at the fields!

At least Jungkook hoped that it was still his job! He didn't even swap back to his human form, his human form was too slow, with a bad nose. Instead, he stuck his snout into the air trying to catch a bit of the sweet peach scent that had been in his dreams since the day he left.

It wasn't easy to find at first, there were so many scents in the air, their pack was the biggest on this side of the world, but Jungkook knew Namjoon's scent, he knew Namjoon! There! He managed to find it. He was so happy and eager to finally be near Namjoon again that he didn't notice the tiny trace of sadness in Namjoon's scent, he was so focused on just getting close, that it was all he noticed.

It was only when he was a few meters away from Namjoon that he changed back into his human form, happily making his way towards where Namjoon was. The omega was standing bent over a bag of seeds, clearly getting ready for the spring seeding that would be happening as soon as the earth was ready.

Had he gotten even broader in his shoulders? Jungkook could feel himself almost drooling, even if it really wasn't appropriate.

Before he had left, Namjoon had seemingly not felt confident in his own body, always trying to wear loose clothes that didn't draw attention to the strength of his arms or the broadness of his shoulders. Wearing clothes that didn't fit him, even if it wasn't practical.

Now Namjoon was wearing practical clothes in the little greenhouse area they had for seed preparation, not caring what anybody thought about him.

That was very sexy of him.

Jungkook tried not to think about the possibility that the reason that Namjoon was more confident was because another alpha had stepped up and made sure he was loved. That another alpha had run their hands over every part of Namjoon, kissing them as they told the omega just how perfect he was, how every part of him was gorgeous.

There was no mating bite on Namjoon's neck, no scent of an alpha mixed with Namjoon's own peaches, he was not mated! Everything else went over Jungkook's head at that moment, as he realised that the love of his life, the omega he had dreamt of every night since he left, was not mated! Sure there were probably a few alphas courting him, but since courting had started, Jungkook could challenge for the right to court Namjoon as well, even if he hadn't taken the rite of adulthood yet!Especially since he was more than old enough.

"Namjoon?" Jungkook used to call him Joonie.

They had never really been friends—they had known each other, but calling themselves friends didn't seem to be right, they were... acquaintances. Jungkook would always get shy around Namjoon, and it didn't get any better the more they grew up.

Calling him Joonie seemed too much like Jungkook was still presenting himself as the same scared shy alpha as before, he wanted to make a new first impression on Namjoon. Not as Kookie, the runt alpha heir, but as Jungkook; the MAN who had been away for almost 2 years. The wolf that loved Namjoon and would always have his back.

Jungkook was about to make a completely new impression on Namjoon, but nowhere near the one he wanted to make. He had wanted to show himself as a good prospective mate for the older man, even before it was time for the mating run.

"Jungkook?" Namjoon seemed surprised as he turned around, giving Jungkook a good look at his face for the first time in a long while.

Even if it had just been two years, time had been kind to Namjoon. His face and features, which had always been beautiful to Jungkook, were somehow even better now. It had more mature lines, and the babyface he had when Jungkook left, still desperately clinging to his jaw, was long gone leaving behind only a perfectly sculpted jawline.

How was Namjoon even more beautiful? Jungkook had no idea.

He was glad that Namjoon seemingly knew his worth, as he hadn't fully accepted a mate yet—and he shouldn't, Namjoon deserved only the best!

"I didn't know you were back yet, welcome home. Did you want something?" Namjoon was no longer trying to hide his deep voice, seemingly just having embraced it, and something definitely moved inside of Jungkook.

He would like to believe it was his heart beating fast, but his dick was also starting to take interest which was a big yikes and not the right moment! Jungkook focused back on Namjoon, and not how damn beautiful he was.

Maybe if his brain wasn't in the gutter he would have thought more, he would have been able to stop himself, he would have been able to not stick his foot in his own mouth, but that wasn't what he did. Instead, he just tried his best to look strong, showing off his growth in a casual way.

It was meant to show Namjoon what he could offer him, to let him know how good of an alpha he was. "I just came back, saw you here so I thought I would say hello!"

That sounded much better than 'I semi stalked you through your scent, also I haven't even told anybody else that I am back, because I really wanted you to know first. I had to know if you had taken a mate that didn't even deserve you, now please love me.'

"Oh." Namjoon seemed genuinely surprised as his brows furrowed. "Welcome back then, I assume you enjoyed your time away from the pack. The crops are coming in nicely, and with the weather already warm, we are predicting a good and fruitful year."

Ooookay. Jungkook should probably care about the prediction of next years harvest, but he couldn't find it in himself to even pretend, all he wanted to know was more about Namjoon and what he had gotten up to while Jungkook was gone, so without hesitation, he made his smoothest attempt.

"So... where is your courting alpha? I'd love to meet them."

Of course, the reason Jungkook wanted to know was because he wanted to challenge whichever alpha it was to fight for the right to court Namjoon. Also, why would his alpha ever let Namjoon walk home alone? Yeah, Namjoon might look strong, but he was precious and sweet and deserved somebody who would protect him.

Not because it was the alpha thing to do, but because Namjoon was worth protecting!

Jungkook expected a name, any name, though hopefully not one of their friends because Jungkook would show no mercy, and Jimin had always liked to tease Jungkook that he would court Namjoon first since he was older. Luckily for all, it seemed that Namjoon wasn't really Jimin's type, as Jimin was much more into...short grumpy omega's more likely to hiss at him than purr.

Yoongi was scary, and Jungkook loved him, but he also scared Jungkook and the alpha did not see the appeal in mating while scared. Plus Yoongi was a bit scrawny, and what Jungkook wanted was emotional support tiddies that he could lie his head-on after a long day. Which Namjoon had!

Plus a lot of other things, but those were to think about later.

Maybe Jungkook got a little too lost in his own head, as he at first missed how Namjoon's expression completely dropped, perfectly showing off the deep sadness and despair that Jungkook's words left him with, but he did notice when Namjoon slammed his mask back in place.

The tone Namjoon spoke up in, would be one that would forever be stuck in Jungkook's head. It was cold and devoid of any emotion, so far from everything Jungkook saw as 'Namjoon'.

"Haha, I get it, make fun of the omega. Real original. Just came back and already picked up everybody's favourite hobby." For a second, Jungkook could smell Namjoon's scent; instead of the fresh peaches, it smelled like a rotten orchard, and the loving brown eyes that would always haunt Jungkook's dreams were now cold as the ice under their feet. "I expected so little of an alpha, and you still disappointed me. Now leave, I have work to do."

Everything about Namjoon in that moment was so wrong, and never something that he had wanted or how he thought Namjoon could sound or act.

"Wh-what?" Jungkook didn't react like the cool alpha he wanted to be, but he was genuinely unsure of exactly what it was he was being accused of.

He had just wanted to challenge the alpha that was courting Namjoon, but it seemed something had happened while Jungkook was gone. The broken expression on Namjoon's face was enough to make his stomach turn. "I... I don't understand."

All the air seemed to leave Namjoon as he slumped his shoulders in a seeming attempt to appear smaller. "Just... go away. Leave me alone, pack heir, I am not in the mood and I still have work to do."

That was not how Jungkook wanted to see Namjoon, that was not how he wanted to hear him! It was all wrong. Yes, he had wanted to be something new for Namjoon, from the kid that Namjoon still saw him as, to instead be seen as an adult alpha who could love and take care of him.

He didn't want to be a stranger.

He didn't just want to be the alpha that would one day lead the pack.

This was wrong.

Everything was wrong!

Jungkook wanted to protest, wanted to demand that Namjoon tell him what the hell had happened while he was gone, but he never got the chance to, as the omega turned around and left before Jungkook even managed to get himself together again.

Fuck.

After that, Jungkook had sought out all of the information about Namjoon that he could, he had to know everything that had happened while he was gone! He had to understand what had happened to Namjoon, what had happened to the bright sweet omega that Jungkook had known before he left.

With every piece of information revealed to him, some by his parents, some by Yoongi and Jimin, some by other members of their pack, Jungkook slowly got more and more horrified.

Guilt was building inside of him because part of him had wanted Namjoon not to have a mate, but this was not the way that he had wanted it to happen! He didn't want Namjoon to not have options! He had wanted Namjoon to be mateless out of his own choice, not like this.

What he had first assumed was Namjoon being more sure in himself, what he assumed was Namjoon being proud of everything he was—confidence and self-love—was neither of those things. The more Jungkook watched, the more he was sure of that. No, Namjoon had given up. He had seemingly just accepted that nobody wanted him.

Every time he saw Namjoon, Jungkook's chest ached, and it hurt even more to know that, for now, there was nothing he could do. Jungkook had tried to get closer to Namjoon, to make up for the blunder that was their first meeting, but Namjoon had walls a meter wide around his heart, and with how badly their first encounter after his return had gone, there was no chance for Namjoon to actually listen to him.

Jungkook had a plan, though. While Namjoon had requested not to participate in the mating run, he was forced to do it due to pack laws. All omegas had to run. Of course, they had the right to say no to anybody who wanted them, but they still had to run.

Jungkook was going to hunt Namjoon, and hopefully get the man to understand how serious his feelings were.

There was just one problem: Jungkook hadn't gone through the rite of adulthood yet, which was required for alphas to be allowed to take part in the mating run. He begged his parents to let him go through it early, but they refused to let him, stating that tradition dictated he would take part in the rite under the eyes of the waning moon, just like all the alphas before him.

There was nothing Jungkook could do to convince them, which meant he was forced to just sit there and wait as Namjoon went through another run alone. And just like the times before, he came back alone.

Once more, Jungkook could see how with every run, Namjoon was losing parts of himself, part of the light inside of him.

The next year passed both faster than any before, but at the same time slower.

Jungkook tried to talk to Namjoon, he really did, but the omega wasn't having it, and with his presence clearly hurting the omega, Jungkook decided not to force it. The last thing he wanted to do was hurt him even more.

He still had his plan; he would hunt Namjoon during the next mating run, and prove to the omega that he loved him, that he was serious about it.

If it was during a hunt, Namjoon would have to believe him right? That was the logic Jungkook went with.

There was just the minor issue of his rite of adulthood first, it was... not something Jungkook would talk about much afterwards.

The rite of adulthood was a hunt, this time to kill, for a target picked out by the pack alpha. You would either have to hunt that or something better, and you had until the sunrise to bring the kill back to the middle of the pack, where it would be taken by the cook and used in a victory feast to celebrate the alpha maturing into adulthood.

Normally it wasn't over the top demands set by the pack alpha, mostly it would be prey items, something that could do damage, but likely wouldn't risk their lives. Something that was unlikely for a grown alpha wolf to fuck up. The point was to show the alpha could provide, not that the alpha could fight.

Jungkook expected to be assigned a stag. It was a big creature, a scary one that would be a challenge, but it still was prey, even with the antlers. That was what he had prepared for. So when he presented in front of his father, the pack alpha, for his assigned kill, with the rest of the pack gathered around him; Jungkook was shocked to find out what the real kill was.

A black bear.

Fuck.

Bears were a pack kill, never something a wolf would hunt alone.

As he finally managed to pick his jaw up from the ground, Jungkook dared to take a single look around himself towards the packmates around him. All of them were whispering to each other, this was the biggest assigned kill in generations, and it was assigned to Jungkook, the runt.

While the rest of the pack had gotten more used to him, and accepted that he was no longer the runt he was when they last saw him, many members of the pack, especially the elders, still held little trust in him. In that way, the assigned kill actually made sense: if Jungkook succeeded, they would have no choice but to believe in him, to trust him as their future alpha. It was a smart play from his dad.

Of course, it all depended on Jungkook not being destroyed by a bear.

Without wanting to, unable to stop himself, his eyes met Namjoon's over the top of the rest of the pack. Namjoon always stayed in the back, seemingly not daring to get too close to the rest of them, always wanting to blend in with the shadows, to not have their attention.

Jungkook expected the cold look of nothingness, the mask that Namjoon had taken to wearing, where the plan was to seemingly just pretend that he didn't care, pretend that nothing could get to him.

Instead, what he saw in those beautiful dark eyes was fear and worry, Jungkook didn't know for what, but part of him couldn't help but hope that it was a worry for him, while at the same time, he never wanted to worry Namjoon. He wanted Namjoon to believe in him.

He accepted the target, and 24 hours later, as the sun set and the waning moon started to rise, Jungkook set out to hunt his target.

It was a long 12 hours. Picking up the track of the bear was not a problem; it was fat and heavy and left visible marks in the still wet earth, Jungkook could easily track it in his wolf form. Being downwind meant that the bear could not pick up Jungkook's scent, giving him the much-needed drop on the huge beast.

It was a grim fight, and for a few moments, Jungkook was sure that he would meet death that day, by the hands of an angry old bear. He would have scars from that battle for the rest of his life.

One of those huge paws with its claws out had hit Jungkook across the snout in his wolf form, when he had been too slow to dodge. It almost knocked Jungkook into a rock that would certainly have killed him, the wound making blood run down his wolven face into his mouth where it pooled, leaving him to feel the adrenaline run through his body in a near bloodlust state of mind.

This was life or death, and he was losing.

For a short moment, he thought of giving up, of giving the bear a free meal. Being eaten by a bear couldn't be that bad, could it? Then when he felt himself slowly running out of steam, ready to just lie down, he was reminded of Namjoon's worried eyes and that dead inside mask he was wearing.

If Jungkook died here, then Namjoon's worry was justified and no one would prove to Namjoon that not only was he perfect, but that love was worth it!

No, he couldn't die here! He still had so much to prove, he still had things to do. That was the last push he needed to get himself up from the ground and attack the bear with a newfound viciousness. He had been lucky, he had caught the bear at the end of a fruitless hunt, and it had already expended a lot of its energy without any food to renew it.

In the end, Jungkook came out victorious.

Exhausted, injured and shocked about the fact that he was somehow still alive, but he had slain the beast, and the only thing pulling him through it had been the thought of Namjoon.

The sun had already started to rise, welcoming Jungkook and reminding him of what was waiting for him at home, and exactly why he needed to hurry up as he dragged the rapidly-cooling bear corpse back to the pack.

Like the sun, Namjoon always warmed Jungkook; those little smiles on his face when he thought nobody was looking, when it was just him and his plants. Thinking about having one of those aimed at him one day pushed Jungkook to keep going.

When he finally arrived at the middle of the pack square, he wanted to collapse, his entire body was aching and multiple wounds were clear on his wolf form's body, but he stayed upright, presenting the kill to his father, the pack alpha, before giving it over to the cooks, so they could prepare the meat. The fur would be treated by their best tanners before it was given back to Jungkook to be his mating fur.

His vision was blurry, but he managed to get through it, and when asked if he needed medical assistance, he said no, like it was expected of him.

Alphas were meant to go back to their own dens to lick their wounds, to show that they were strong and could take care of themselves, that something as weak and pathetic as an infection wouldn't dust them off.

That was just the way of the pack, and Jungkook followed traditions. He would prove himself as a good alpha, not just some runt anymore. He could deserve Namjoon.

Maybe he should have asked Jackson for more advice on medical care, because, when he turned back into human form, the wound on his side was not looking good. Unsure of what to do he tried to treat it the best he could, but it was looking grim.

That was until somebody entered his den without knocking. Jungkook, vision still blurry, attempted to swap back into his wolf form to fight the intruder when the scent of summer peaches reached his nose, making him collapse back into his furs.

"Yes, yes, growl, growl. You are very scary." Namjoon's sounded more like a parent talking to a child having a tantrum, as he was running his hands over Jungkook's body trying to find the source of the blood. "You also have blood loss and wounds that will get infected if they don't get treated, and another one that without help will ruin your good looks."

Maybe it was said blood loss, but all Jungkook could focus on was the fact that Namjoon had called him good looking. That had to mean something.

He wanted to stand up, to show off how well he had done to his future mate, but instead, he ended up losing his balance, almost falling over if it had not been for Namjoon managing to catch him. Oh, he was warm.

Jungkook should have known that Namjoon would be warm. Of course, this was not how he had expected to get his first hug from Namjoon after coming back, and this might not have been intended as a hug, but Jungkook was definitely gonna count it as a hug! He was all for claiming small victories.

It could be the blood loss, or maybe it was just Jungkook getting scent drunk off being this close to Namjoon, but he didn't care, only letting out a confused noise when Namjoon lowered him back down onto the furs.

Nooo... why was his omega moving away from him? Namjoon shouldn't move away from him! He should get closer, close enough that they could cuddle, and maybe take a little nap. A nap sounded good at that moment if you asked Jungkook, whose eyes were slowly getting heavier and heavier.

Maybe he could just nap, and then Namjoon would come lie down next to him! Jungkook was feeling so tired, so exhausted he just wanted to... SMACK his eyes forced open as Namjoon's broad handmade impact with his cheek.

"Don't you dare!" Namjoon hissed at him. "Do you know how much chaos will occur if you die?!" There was a bit of fear in Namjoon's voice, and even so knocked out from pain, Jungkook couldn't help but hope that it wasn't just from the fear of what would happen with a dead Jungkook and no heir, but also that Namjoon didn't want him dead.

"That hurt." Jungkook didn't mean to be a whiny baby, but the side of Namjoon's finger had hit one of the wounds on his face, and he was indeed a little baby at times. Especially when tired or injured.

"Well at least you are awake. I am gonna clean the wounds and dress them, I brought some of the herbs and medical plants that we have grown." Namjoon's voice was cold, acting like he didn't care, but his scent gave him away, worried and heavy, fear mixing with peaches in an unpleasant way. "You should be damn grateful that I have been working hard to get them more potent, you might still live to see another day."

Jungkook whined a little. "But I am meant to deal with it alone, to prove I am a good alpha."

"I am sure that whatever omega you will try to court will prefer you alive, not dead." Namjoon mumbled, the scent of rotten peaches still clear in the air, but his hands were soft as he reached for Jungkook's face. "I am sorry I hit you," he said in a whisper. "I promise I won't do it again, as long as you stay awake."

Jungkook hummed in agreement, there was no part of him ever that was able to not do something when Namjoon asked for it so sweetly. Namjoon... his omega—well, hopefully his omega—was slowly undressing his upper body.

Oh... they were doing sexy mating things? Oh, Jungkook was not prepared for that! He couldn't stop the noise of worry being let out, which earned him a cute little giggle.

"I promise I am not trying to take your maidenly modesty from you," Namjoon said. "I just need to dress the wound. I promise your omega will still have all the parts that matter for themselves."

It was Jungkook's turn to giggle, the pain was making him woozy and light-headed. Namjoon was worrying about saving Jungkook's modesty for the omega that he wanted to mate, who was Namjoon, so Namjoon was trying to save Jungkook's modesty for himself.

It was hilarious, atleast to Jungkook, but he was glad. He really did prefer that their first mating would not be in a moment where he could swear that there was more than one Namjoon.

The rest of the dressing of his wounds was something that Jungkook really wished he could remember more, but his mind was blank. Not exactly what he wished for the first time Namjoon touched his bare body. All he could remember was that though the omega had calluses on his hands from work, which most omegas didn't, his movements were soft, always making sure that he never hurt Jungkook.

His omega was so nice and kind.

Jungkook was so lucky. Well he would be lucky if he could get Namjoon to accept him, but he still had hope! After all, he had to have hope!

When he woke up the next day, he found out that he had missed the feast. Fortunately, that wasn't uncommon, more than a few alphas had died in their den, unable to take care of their wounds alone, and too proud to ask for help. Too stuck in tradition to dare go against it.

____________

Again, Jungkook felt that he was lucky that he had somebody like Namjoon. Well, hopefully would have somebody like Namjoon in his life, somebody who would do what was right for those around him. Tradition mattered less to Namjoon than the health of their pack, he would make a good second in command to Jungkook.

He often forgot that his parents really did love him, even if they were hard on him, they were hard on him because they wanted the best for him. Their sheer look of happiness as Jungkook came to meet them after the fever was gone, spoke of parents who loved their son, but were unable to do anything based on tradition.

Jungkook promised himself that he would never do that to his pups, when he became pack alpha there would be changes, nobody would have to go through what he had, and no omega would have to suffer like Namjoon did.

There would be changes when Jungkook became pack alpha, that he promised himself. Hopefully, if everything went to plan, he and Namjoon would be mated; either with a pup on the way, or one already there by then, and Jungkook would be strong for them.

There were 6 months until the next mating run, Namjoon and Jungkook didn't speak about what had happened in the den, not because Jungkook didn't attempt to talk to him about it. No, he definitely tried that, but Namjoon was getting very good at avoiding him.

If Jungkook said nothing, Namjoon would allow him close, but the second Jungkook attempted to talk about what had happened, Namjoon would shoo him out with a cold look in his eyes, or just leave himself. So Jungkook took to just staying near Namjoon whenever he wasn't working on helping the pack. Being near Namjoon was nowhere near all that Jungkook wanted, but he could settle for that until the next mating run.

Time went fast, the ground froze and melted again, as the pack survived another winter. Like so many winters before, it was tough. They couldn't just survive by hunting alone, they hadn't been able to for a while. The work that Namjoon and some of the other members of the pack were doing in the seed bank was keeping them alive. All of them might lose a little weight during the winter, but they were all alive.

Winters sucked, but spring brought new life for the pack, and mating season was close again.

Jungkook should have felt exhausted from the harsh winter, but he had never felt more ready and eager as he got ready for the night run. This was his first mating run, and he hoped it would be his last. That night would be the last time before he saw Namjoon during the run, he wanted to at least hint at what would happen, but of course he fucked it up.

He didn't know what it was, but whenever it came to Namjoon, he just always fucked it up.

Trying to act as casually as possible during the huge pack dinner before the run, he sat next to Namjoon with his food. "So, are you excited?"

If looks could kill, Jungkook would be dead where he sat, but Namjoon didn't answer him, instead just turning back to his food.

"I am excited!" Jungkook grinned looking at his food, Namjoon's scent had not gone sour yet, which was normally his sign for when he had pushed the omega too much, or a sign that he needed to leave, before Namjoon was the one to do it. "I have a feeling that this is gonna be a good run!"

Again, no answer from Namjoon, who clearly did not have the same faith in the idea that it would be a good run, instead just staring at the food he had long since stopped eating, as if Jungkook's words were ruining his appetite.

That should have been the sign for Jungkook to stop talking, that should have been the sign that he was pushing it too far again, but he was too caught up in the giddiness inside himself, the giddiness that was pushing him to keep going. "I trust that this will be the year that you find a good alpha!" Jungkook couldn't hold in the little giggle, because that good alpha was him!

Namjoon understood it very differently, unable to read minds, he had no idea that what Jungkook was giggling at was his own joke; from his perspective, Jungkook was laughing at him.

Jungkook's little giggle stopped shortly after, as Namjoon's scent took a short turn, showing exactly how he was feeling. Finally his brain seemed to catch up with his mouth, as he understood what he had done. "No! Namjoon! That is...-"

"You are so funny, aren't you?" Namjoon interrupted him, standing up and leaving his food. "I am gonna go and stretch before the run, I hope you fall and break your legs."

That was the rudest thing Jungkook had ever heard him say. Namjoon was normally always such a sweet soul, he would never swear at Jungkook, but seemingly he had gone one step too far this time. He deserved it, most likely.

"Joonie..." Jungkook tried to call after him as Namjoon left, but the omega was having none of it.Jungkook was at least clever enough to know that chasing an omega during the pack pre-mating-run event was a very bad idea, so instead he was just left with both his and Namjoon's rapidly-cooling food, as an uneasy feeling settled in his stomach. He had fucked up again without even wanting to.

Why was it that no matter what he did, when it came to Namjoon, he just kept fucking up?! He seemed to just have foot in mouth syndrome (or paw in mouth syndrome) when it came to the omega, and Jungkook fucking hated it.

The run was now his only chance to really show Namjoon what he meant, but it was a chance to show with his actions instead of with his words—because, clearly, Jungkook could not be trusted when it came to speaking.

Jungkook saw Namjoon only when it was time for the run to start. He was in the alpha area, watching Namjoon get ready. Alphas would have to give the omegas 30 minutes before they started their own hunt.

There were other omegas giving him looks, of course there was, Jungkook had grown strong and proud, he was the pack alpha heir and had taken down a bear. He was somebody they wanted, but none of them was Namjoon, so Jungkook didn't even look their way.

Honestly it was kinda amazing how none of them had realised that the only person Jungkook ever had eyes for was Namjoon. The only person he ever wanted to mate with... was Namjoon.

Love.

He loved Namjoon, every part of him always had, and always would. Now he just had to convince Namjoon of that fact.

While the other omegas hurried, most feeling playful on their first hunt, wanting to make a real hunt for the alphas that chose them; Namjoon went slow,seemingly not worried about the hunt at all, which did make sense since the omega didn't expect to be hunted.

All parts of Jungkook's inner alpha were longing for the omega as he watched Namjoon's light brown wolf form to disappear into the forest, leaving only a weak trail of peach scent behind.

The other omegas made sure to leave a large amount of their scent behind, making sure that there was something that alphas could follow, but Namjoon didn't seem to care, he just took his own time, leaving only the normal amount of scent behind.

As the alphas, including Jungkook, were finally allowed to move, he was actually afraid that he wouldn't be able to catch Namjoon's scent, that he wouldn't be able to find the omega. Jungkook was lucky, though, he knew Namjoon's scent, and it didn't take him long for his inner alpha to hone in on Namjoon's sweet peaches, leading him on a chase to find the source.

Namjoon led him on a good hunt, multiple times Jungkook thought that he had lost the scent, only to catch just the tail end off it, sending him further on his little chase.

Somebody other than him, somebody who wasn't so in love with the omega's scent might have missed it, especially when it came to the river crossing, but Jungkook, together with his inner alpha, knew exactly what they wanted; they wanted Namjoon, and they were gonna find him!

__________

When he finally found Namjoon, two hours later, Jungkook had to stop to catch his breath, not just because it had been a long hunt, but because the omega was breathtaking.

He was lying on top of a big hill, curled in on himself in his wolf form, the moon lighting lit up his fur in the most beautiful of ways as he was seemingly napped like he didn't even notice Jungkook making his way onto the hill.

The omega had gathered soft looking spring moss around himself, to make a soft little bed for himself, as he slept with no worry.

Again, a sign of how much he just wasn't expecting an alpha to hunt him. Why would he stay awake during the night when he knew he would be alone anyway?

After all, he had been alone the last three years.

But that would change now! Never again would Jungkook let him feel this way!

Staying in his wolf form, Jungkook moved slowly towards the sleeping form of his future mate, this was his chance to make an impression on Namjoon all over again, and he was damn well gonna make it a good one!

No reaction from Namjoon as Jungkook got closer, which was a little worrying if it wasn't for the fact that Jungkook could hear soft cute little wolf snores. Namjoon had the cutest wolf snores.

Only when he was so close that he could feel the warmth from the omegas body did he make his sounds a little louder and release the tight control he was holding over his own scent, letting his own mint mix with Namjoon's peaches. Normally he would never let them mix in that way, always afraid that Namjoon would pull away.

Also, maybe a bit afraid of how much it would give away about himself, he didn't want to overwhelm the older man with how deep his feelings were, at least not then.

Carefully, aware of how stupid it was to suprise wolves, Jungkook puffed at the other wolf with his snout.

"Namjoon?" He tried to project his thoughts, but it was a lot harder when one of them was sleeping. This was meant to be a mating run, they were meant to stay in wolf form all the way through it, no human form.

He managed to jump back at the last second before Namjoon's heavy and sleepy paw made contact with his snout.

"Sleep..." Namjoon, ever since they were kids, had always hated waking up, and Jungkook always loved seeing him slowly, and against his will, win the battle against sleep as he woke up.

As carefully as possible, not wanting to scare him nor wanting to get hit in return, Jungkook placed one of his own paws on Namjoon's fluffy head. "I caught you."

The reaction was instant as Namjoon's eyes finally opened completely, confused and scared about what was happening as he froze in place.

"Jungkook?" The alpha could almost hear the cogs turning in Namjoon's head as the omega tried to understand exactly what it was that was going on.

"I caught you." Jungkook tried again. He had a speech prepared originally, a whole thing that he wanted to say to Namjoon to prove that he was being serious. But like so many times before, as soon as Namjoon was involved, nothing he had prepared made its way to his brain. Instead he just repeated that same line.

Even in his wolf form, that didn't have the range of expression that their human forms did, Jungkook could still see as Namjoon swapped from one mood to another, confusion first, replaced quickly by disbelief and then settling on anger as he got up on all of four legs. He stared at Jungkook, none of the normal warmth present in his eyes.

"Really, you are gonna ruin your own first run just to fuck with me?! Were there no omegas that you wanted this year, so you decided to mess with me?" Namjoon really believed that, it made Jungkook's heart hurt, but Namjoon really did believe that. "Or did you just get rejected, so like a real alpha decided to take it out on the other one nobody wanted?"

Finally, Jungkook's brain found the words he was looking for. There was just one problem, when he first started speaking, he couldn't stop.

Well, was it really speaking, when it was a shared thought in their mind?

"I was hunting you! Nobody else! It has always been you!" Without wanting to scare Namjoon, Jungkook moved closer to the omega, so he was circling him slowly. It was the regular mating dance.

The mating hunt was never just about catching the omega, it was also beating the omega in a fight. Of course, often the omega just let the alpha win, but Jungkook had an idea that it was not gonna be that easy for him, though he was more than ready to fight for Namjoon. "I have wanted to be your alpha since the first time you helped me! I hated the fact that you could've mated while I was gone!"

Again, foot in mouth syndrome. "So you wanted me to end up alone! To be the laughing stock of the pack?!"

Namjoon had never been quick to give into his anger, but in his defense, Jungkook was constantly poking the metaphorical wound without even trying too. Maybe that was Jungkook's secret talent.

"I didn't mean it like that! I just love you and want to be with you! I wanted you to be happy, but I also want to be the one making you happy!" He jumped backwards as Namjoon was the one to start the fighting part of the mating hunt, making a dive forward and snapping his teeth where Jungkook's neck had been just a few seconds before.

"Liar!" Namjoon's voice was so distraught, clearly not believing Jungkook's words as he was too caught up in his own emotions. Maybe it wasn't too weird for Namjoon to not believe him, after all Jungkook had been terrible in showing his interest.

Namjoon lunged for him again, but his balance was off, he clearly wasn't used to fighting, and no matter how much bigger he was than Jungkook, he really was much more of a lover than a fighter.

Jungkook almost got cut in the lunge, dodging at the last moment. "Please! You have to believe me!" He wanted to argue, to get Namjoon to believe him, but the omega was too stuck in his own mind to even listen!

All Jungkook could do was finish the mating run routine, fight Namjoon and pin him to the ground, and hope that it would make him listen. If the omega really didn't want him, he wouldn't force it, but he wanted Namjoon to at least hear him.

The fight was closer than it should have been, Jungkook just didn't have it in him to really fight Namjoon, and Namjoon was fighting with near desperation, his scent full of anger and grief.

In a way, Namjoon wasn't fighting Jungkook, not really, he was fighting all the alphas and the entire pack that had decided that he held no worth, that he just wasn't enough.

Still in the end, Jungkook was still an alpha with years of combat training;he pinned Namjoon to the ground. The real line he was meant to say was 'submit,' but that wasn't what he wanted from Namjoon. That was never what he had wanted from Namjoon, they would be equals because that was what Namjoon deserved.

"Please chage to your human form, I wanna talk with you, for real." Neither of them were hiding their scent anymore, neither really were able too, there was simply just too much emotion going around, everything was just too... intense.

Both scents were strong and heavy from the fighting, but still Jungkook's sensitive wolfnose could smell exactly how perfectly their two scents were mixed together, mint and peaches, not a combo you would normally expect, but together it smelled like every dream Jungkook had ever had.

For a second, just a short one, his heart almost stopped as it seemed that Namjoon would keep fighting that he wouldn't give up, but then all the fight seemingly left him, and he slowly shifted back into his human form, tilting his head to the side so he was looking over the cliff of the hill instead of Jungkook.

He was exposing his vulnerable neck, like he was expecting Jungkook to just claim him without anything else. It was terrifying how little faith Namjoon really had in alphas, but after all, none of them had treated him with the respect he deserved, so maybe it made sense.

Instead of doing what Namjoon expected, Jungkook turned into human form as well. His hands were still pining the omega to the ground, during their scuffle the bed of moss had gone everywhere and both of them had some of it stuck on them, making them look like a damn mess.

"I want to court you, I have always wanted to court you." Jungkook was out of breath from the fight, and it was a lot harder to hide now that he was in human form instead of a wolf. Both of them were breathing heavily, and it was the only noise in the dark spring night.

They had long since scared away all the wildlife from their fighting, leaving just the two of them and the stars as their witness.

"Liar..." Namjoon's deep voice was full of despair and distrust, his scent turning rotten, but there was an opening there as well, a little piece of Namjoon that he hadn't been able to hide behind his walls, a little part that still wanted to be loved.

"Never to you, I swear. Please, Joonie, look at me." It didn't matter to Jungkook that many alphas would see it beneath them to beg an omega, but Namjoon was worth it, he had always been worth it!

Namjoon was shaking, and Jungkook knew it wasn't from the cold spring air, but from tears he was struggling to hold back.

"Don't do this to me, please."

The words broke Jungkook's heart, because it showed exactly what they had done to Namjoon, it was all of them! As much as Jungkook wanted to blame everybody else, as much as he wanted to blame tradition on it, the reality was that he had been part of holding up the traditions and culture that kept Namjoon down. He promised himself that when he was pack alpha, things would change, even if he had to fight part of the pack, nobody would have to suffer something like Namjoon again, never!

"Please, let me love you." Jungkook rubbed his nose again Namjoon's cheek. No matter how much he wanted to kiss up and down Namjoon's cheeks, press kisses to his neck and lips, he knew that it wouldn't be the right time for it.

"I know I am bad with my words, and I know I am just the runt, and I almost died during my rite of adulthood. I know that I didn't make a good impression on you! I know that I keep having my damn foot in my mouth when I talk to you! But I promise that I love you more than anybody else will ever be able to. I am not asking you to mate with me, not right now, not before you are ready, I am asking for a chance to court you."

He was completely emptying in his heart at that moment, the words coming faster and faster with every second he was speaking, unable to stop himself. There were so many things he wanted to say, and with every word he was afraid that Namjoon would cut him off. Afraid that Namjoon would say no to courting, and Jungkook would have to respect it.

"There is nobody like you. Whenever you are near, my eyes will always go towards you. When I was alone with the other pack, it was my thoughts of you that helped pull me through. It is your scent that I want to be first thing I smell every day, it is your scent that I want in my den. Not because of some joke or anything else, but because of you, you will be the perfect omega for me, the perfect pack leader omega. You have a good heart, and even when everybody else were turning me away, treating me as a stupid runt that nobody had any belief in, you helped me, you never treated me differently. I love you Namjoon! Please let me court you!"

Finally, Namjoon was looking up at him, and Jungkook could feel his heart drop as he saw big fat globs of salted water slide down his cheeks in tears. This was never what he wanted to do, he wanted to make Namjoon happy, not make him cry.

Jungkook still had him pinned to the ground, in classic mating run fashion, but his grip was now loose enough that if Namjoon really wanted to get away, he would be able to. Jungkook wanted him to stay, but not against his will.

"I am strange." Namjoon's voice was naturally much deeper than most omegas', and it had a near melodic tone to it, but at that moment it was mostly just distraught and manic.

"You are perfect."

"I look weird."

"You are gorgeous."

"I am an unnatural omega."

"You are right for me."

"You need somebody better."

"No, I need you." Jungkook was not sure how they began to argue like this, with Namjoon coming up with every reason why this was wrong, and Jungkook countering them every moment.

At least the omega had stopped crying, so Jungkook did feel as if things were going the right way, and Namjoon hadn't told him to fuck off yet. So he took his chance.

"If you want me to leave, I will, but I want to court you." Jungkook was not above begging.

"You will regret it."

"Never." Finally, Namjoon seemed to have just given up, and seemed to actually believe Jungkook.

Taking a deep breath he nodded. "Okay."

With his heart skipping a beat, Jungkook stammered out, "Wh-what?"

He had wanted to court Namjoon, yes, but part of him had never let himself believe that it would actually happen. His mother used to say that if he expected the worst, he could never be disappointed.

Part of him had already prepared what he would tell his parents when he came home alone, he had prepared to explain to them that it was Namjoon or nobody, that if Namjoon would never agree to mating or courting, Jungkook would be a solo pack alpha, and take an heir without them being related.

So now with Namjoon agreeing, Jungkook was so shocked that he just went back to his favourite activity... putting his own foot in his mouth.

Namjoon's cheeks flushed with a light red colour as he blushed "did you... not mean it?"

"I meant it!" Jungkook was quick to assure before looking finally smiling "I just didn't think you would agree, so I had prepared to be disappointed, I am just... happy that you are giving me a chance, I know other alpha's have treated you badly, but I really do love you, even when I am stupid." goddamn it, he hadn't meant to blush, but his cheeks were warm, Namjoon had that effect on him "can I... let go without you running away now?"

"I will stay." Namjoon wasn't looking away from him anymore, and the smile on Namjoon's lips might be hesitant, but it was also the sweet soft one that Jungkook normally only saw him aim at his flowers.

Seeing that actually being aimed at him made his heart beat just a little faster as pulled away from Namjoon, sitting up and first then being aware that he had to be looking like a mess with moss all over him and Namjoon an equal mess "I am sorry about... this whole mess... I just... I get nervous around you and then I don't think before I speak, and I say stupid stuff. I never meant to hurt you."

"So you weren't making fun of me when you got back home? When you asked about where my alpha was?" Namjoon crawled a bit closer to Jungkook so they were sitting next to each other, close to the edge.

Neither of them had even really realised that during the fight they had gotten so close to the edge.

"I hadn't talked to anybody when I came back to the pack, I just caught a bit of your scent when I came home, and all I could think about was seeing you again. You were everything that kept me going while I was gone." they were sitting next to each other at that moment, Jungkook sneaking small looks down to the hand that Namjoon hand next to him, it was bigger than Jungkook's, but it also looks so cute in that moment, and all Jungkook wanted to do was hold it, but he didn't want to push more when he had already pushed Namjoon so far, he didn't want to push him more "I asked about your alpha, because the idea that nobody would be courting you had never even occurred to me. Since you didn't have a mating bite, I assumed it was courting, and I wanted to challenge the alpha for the right to court you."

Namjoon was silent for a few seconds. "I thought I would be alone forever, that nobody would ever want me. Especially not somebody like you."

"Somebody like me?"

"Strong, pretty, pack alpha heir, with so many different options. The guy with the biggest kil for the rite of adulthood." Namjoon inched closer to Jungkook in the slowest way possible.

There was a lot of things to unpack in Namjoon's words, but Jungkook could only focus on one thing "you think I am pretty?" he tried to stop himself from giggling in glee, because that really wasn't very alpha like, not that he was able to hold it back.

That made Namjoon laugh, and finally putting his hand a little closer to Jungkook's so the tips were touching "I am pretty sure there isn't a single wolf who doesn't think you are pretty."

"I don't care about them, I care about what you think." It was easier to talk to Namjoon in that moment, knowing that he had managed to confess his entire heart, he didn't feel as if he had to hide something anymore, he could just enjoy the slowly setting moon, as the stars fought to stay in the sky.

"You are sap."

"Only for you."

"It is way too early for this to be like this."

"Well I have dreamt off this since I was 10, so for me this is far from early." the truth came so easily from his lips without even an ounce of shame.

Why should Jungkook even be shy or full of shame? There was nothing wrong with being in love with Namjoon, if anything, it was the best thing that could ever happen to a person, at least it was the best thing that happened to him.

There was silence between them for a few minutes, as they just took in the sky and the great view they had from the hill. It was a comfortable silence, so neither felt forced to try and break it, instead just enjoying how their scents perfectly mixed around them.

It was surprisingly Namjoon who broke it, asking softly "do you wanna know what I used to dream about how my first mating hunt would end?"

Jungkook froze for a short second, he wasn't sure he wanted to know about how Namjoon wanted to fuck another alpha, but his curiosity won out "yes?"

"Like this looking out over our pack territory, holding hands with an alpha who respected me and loved me the way I was. Somebody who didn't want to change me, before we would walk back to the pack together as the sun was starting to rise behind me. Maybe I was a silly romantic, that is what mum always said, but it was how I always dreamt of." he shrugged a little, not looking over at Namjoon, his eyes focused on the sky.

Jungkook still wasn't sure exactly how he got this lucky, what he had done to deserve Namjoon, honestly he wasn't sure if the pack deserved this wonderful amazing man, but he was not gonna give him up now, not when he finally got him.

"Can I hold your hand?" they were only talking about hand holding, but Jungkook still felt like it was a big step in their budding relationship, still felt as if it was something he needed to ask for.

Namjoon didn't answer, instead he just moved his hand the rest of the way over so it was fully covering Jungkook's, and all the alpha had to do was turn it so they could hold hands.

They sat there for hours just looking at night turning to day, and first when dawn was threatening to break did they get up from their spot to make their way back towards the pack. '

When they got close, Jungkook stopped them as he asked with a hesitant voice "can I carry you the rest of the way? I know that we aren't mated, but you said I could court you, and I... I wanna show off to the rest of the pack." his heart was pounding in his chest, he had dreamed of walking this last 50 meters so many times before.

"I am... I am a lot heavier than you would think, I don't want you to feel bad if you can't lift me." again, insecurity was clear in Namjoon's voice was he looked away from the alpha, but he didn't let go of Jungkook's hand, which the younger saw as a positive sign.

He couldn't help it, but feel a little smug as he grinned "I have wanted to mate you for years, since we were kids, and you think I didn't train to lift you and carry you. I have practiced with alpha's bigger than you! I could carry BM from the other pack without any issue, and he was much bigger than you! Trust me." he turned around so they were looking at each other, letting go of Namjoon's hand just so had could take the omega's face between his hands instead "I have been wanting and waiting for the moment you would say yes for years. I have prepared for this for so long, I know I can do this, if you trust me."

Namjoon blinked a few times, really taking in Jungkook before he leaned into one of the hands cupping his face, before turning his head around and pressing a soft kiss to the palm of it "I trust you, I just don't want you to feel bad if you can't do it. It's not your fault that my body is weird."

"Your body is perfect!" Jungkook was pretty sure that he had never said anything before with that level of determination and meant it "just because other alpha's can't see it doesn't change the fact, when the two of us become leaders of the pack, things will change. Nobody will ever have to go through what you did because of stupid tradition and small mindedness.

Namjoon's look softened "you really mean that don't you? Everything you have said, you actually mean it, this isn't just... some kind of weird game for you, you actually mean it."

"I love you, and I have for years. I know you don't love me, not yet. It's hard to learn to love when you have to focus on surviving. I hope... maybe one day you can love me, and I want to prove myself worthy of that love." Jungkook didn't demand Namjoon's love, not yet, all he wanted until further was just a chance of that love.

"You... - You are special, I hope you know that. There is just something about you, something that makes my inner omega purr and just makes me comfortable, that makes me want to trust you... So yeah, I trust you."

That was all Jungkook needed to swoop down quickly and lift Namjoon up in a perfect bridal lift, making Namjoon gasp as he went to grab a hold of Jungkook in sheer surprise and maybe a bit of terror that Jungkook was indeed about to drop him. They stood there for a good 30 seconds, before Namjoon's arms around Jungkook's neck relaxed a little.

"You... can actually hold me." being carried by their alpha was such a classic omega thing, it hurt Jungkook's heart to really understand how much the omega had just accepted that it was a thing he would never get to have.

"And you need to eat more, you do not weigh enough for somebody this tall." Jungkook couldn't stop himself from being cheeky as he pecked Namjoon on the top of his hair before walking him into the village.

People stared, which made Namjoon hide his head in Jungkook's shoulder, but Jungkook did not care even one bit, instead just happily grinning proudly. They should all stare! Jungkook had managed to convince the best, most amazing omega to let him court him, so yes, they should all stare and be jealous that they weren't Jungkook.

He would probably have paraded them around if it wasn't because poor Namjoon was so shy, instead he whispered so only the Older man could hear it "my den or your den? Nothing is gonna happen, just some much needed sleeping." he felt the need to point the last thing out, as he didn't want Namjoon to think he was gonna try something.

"Is my den fine? I... I need to water my plants." the words were mumbled into Jungkook's neck, making a single slide down his spine in pleasure of having the omega so close.

"Of course, always." With that, Jungkook carried Namjoon home, and living up to his promise, they did just end up sleeping. The next day, Jungkook would gift Namjoon the bear skin as was proper, but for that day... they would just sleep, enjoying the first time that either of them got to have what they had always dreamt off.

The courting went much better than either of them ever had a dream of hoping for. Jungkook had been right all along, they were indeed perfect together. Complimenting in ways that nobody had known.

Namjoon was good at pushing Jungkook to be more serious when he needed too, not just to try and force his opinion through with some of the more annoying elders of the pack. Namjoon made him a better leader, and while Jungkook's parents might have doubted their son's choice at first, they soon came to be the omega's biggest fans.

In return, Jungkook made Namjoon a better version of himself. His love made the omega not just more secure in himself, but also better at standing up for himself. It made the whole pack better as Namjoon could focus on what he was actually good at, focus on making the seeds better, on making sure that no stomachs would go hungry during the winter.

That no pup would be sleeping in as it was too weak from lack of nutritions, one night where they had been cuddling in Namjoon's den, Jungkook had made the silly mistake of asking why Namjoon was so focused on making the seeds better, and increasing their harvest.

With his face tomato red, the omega had admitted that he wanted a pup himself one day, and he couldn't deal with the idea that his and Jungkook's first pup wouldn't survive the winter. Since both Jungkook and Namjoon himself were pretty big guys, it only made sense that any pup of his and Jungkook's would be big, which meant that they would need more nutrition.

There were tons of things there to unpack, but the only thing that Jungkook could really focus on was the fact that their courting was going well enough that Namjoon was thinking of having pups together.

His dreamy face must have given him away, because he got a light slap by Namjoon's tail. Again, it was a good sign that the omega was feeling more comfortable teasing him in return, making this relationship more equal.

So overall, their courting was going well, they hadn't mated yet, but things were well.

Jungkook had plans about exactly how he wanted their mating to go down, but like everything else, nothing went how Jungkook had planned it. That was just how things were when it came to Namjoon.

It was meant to be during the winter, in Namjoon's den that had slowly become their shared den. On top of the skin of the bear that Jungkook had only survived the fight with because he had thought of Namjoon.

Cuddled up close to keep the cold away, whispered little words of love being exchanged between them, kisses pecked all around faces, the heat would slowly build until they would shred their clothes and one thing would lead to another, until both were so desperate to touch the other, that all they could think about was mating.

The snow would be falling outside of the den, isolating the den so nobody would hear the noises that neither of them would be able to keep in. Jungkook had no idea if it would be this year, or the next year, or in ten years, that didn't really matter to him at least, all that mattered was that they were together and that both would want it.

Really, it was a dream that Jungkook should have known would not happen. Not because they didn't love each other, but exactly because they did love each other. Their relationship might have started with a slow burn, but since they had managed to confess their feelings, everything moved a lot faster.

So really how the mating happened, should not be a surprise to them at all.

It was the end of the summer, all the flowers were in bloom and the days and nights were still warm and comfortable. Jungkook had been sitting in on a meeting with his father, as preparation for him to take over as pack alpha.

To say the meeting had been boring would be putting it mildly, it was an important meeting yes, but that really didn't mean that it was an interesting one. It was a meeting with the leaders of the agriculture part of the pack, and they were going over the expected harvest for the year.

Jungkook just assumed it would be close to the same as it had been every other year, so he was half zoned out, trying to think about where he would find Namjoon when the drag of a meeting was done.

That was until he really looked at the papers in front of him, and did a double take "did you... put a 0 to much on these?" it was the first thing outside of introductions that Jungkook had spoken. He was, after all, just meant to supervise, but the numbers he was seeing in front of him were simply too unbelievable to understand.

If the numbers were correct, it wouldn't just be their best harvest ever, it would be the output of their two best harvests together! This had to be wrong.

The agriculture leader, an older beta with my crows feet around her eyes than smooth skin and a frown lines instead of smile lines, looked at him none too impressed "aren't you the one courting Namjoon? Shouldn't you be the first to know how he has managed to splice and breed the seeds for this season? Not paying attention to your omega this early on in courting is a bad sign, if you are losing interest in him, then it's better to let him go and let others take your place." it was almost crazy how quickly people's opinions on Namjoon had changed so quickly.

At first it had seemed like they were just pretending, because the heir was courting him, but the more they talked to him and got to know him, the more they genuinely seemed to like him. Some people, especially the ones in the agriculture part of the pack, without a doubt liked him more than they liked Jungkook, and whenever the alpha was late, they were always quick to tease him that Namjoon should get courted by somebody else.

It always left Jungkook huffy and puffy, pouting as he waited for Namjoon to finish his work and come out so they could take a walk before dinner and then go and spend some time together.

Again, Jungkook was pouting "I know he was working on stuff! He just didn't tell me exactly how well it was going! I do pay attention to him! I love him!" The amount of times that different numbers of the pack had heard Jungkook exclaim how much he loved Namjoon was probably in the thousands, because since the first time that Jungkook had managed to say it to Namjoon, he had been unable to stop saying it.

It always made poor Namjoon blush, and when they were alone, he would mumble the words back, still too shy to say it infront of other people, not that it mattered to Jungkook, he was more than happy with just knowing that Namjoon loved him.

"He has been working hard, thanks to him nobody will starve this winter if everything goes to plan. You should be proud of him, we certainly are."

Jungkook's father was the one to speak up "we are of course proud of us! As expected, my son's future mate is simply extraordinary, we are all very proud of him, right Jungkook?"

"Yes!" Jungkook was always quick to make sure that everybody knew how amazing Namjoon was, "I... I have to leave, I need to be somewhere!" really his short term focus should probably be something that they checked out, but he liked to believe that it was just what love did to you.

He was up from the chair, almost managing to fall over his own feet, making the two older adults in the room laugh as the agricultural leader called after him as he left the meeting hall "he is in the flower fields this evening!"

Did Jungkook almost run into the doorframe as he tried to get out of the room while also yelling a thank you? Yes, and it was better that nobody ever talked about it. It really did ruin his image.

Changing into his wolf shape, Jungkook took off running towards the flower field, doing his best to try and catch a bit of that sweet peach scent of his omega. It didn't take him long to find it and it was perfectly mixed with flowers, making Jungkook even more eager to find the other man.

Namjoon was busy looking down at his papers, standing in the middle of a big field of flowers so wrapped up in his own thought that he somehow didn't hear or notice Jungkook running in his wolf form until the alpha jumped him, transforming back into his human form mid air, pinning Namjoon to the ground, raining eager and small kisses all over the taller mans features "you...-" kiss "are...-" kiss "amazing!"

At first Namjoon seemed surprised, but then he giggled, reaching up to wrap his arms around Jungkook's neck pulling him down into a real kiss, first breaking the kiss when both of them needed oxygen, "I thought you were gonna be busy with you dad all day, alpha." the title was added teasingly in the end as he smiled wide and happy at Jungkook, his dimples on display.

Since he had found out that Jungkook would get really shy whenever he was called alpha, Namjoon had made sure to do it as often as he could. It was part of the omega coming out of his shell, and even if it was teasing him, Jungkook couldn't be more happy to see the change in Namjoon.

His cheeks might be red, but he dived down to press a kiss to Namjoon's dimples "you are amazing!"

Giggling Namjoon just let him do it, he had come to not just accept, but love Jungkook's over the top love and kisses "not that I disagree? What have I done?" god it was so sexy that Namjoon was no longer talking negatively about himself, but instead agreeing in Jungkook's love and kind words.

"I found out about the seeds! Everybody will be fine this summer, and it is all because of you! Nobody will suffer, no pups will cry all because of you!" Jungkook rolled them around, not caring about the potential for crushed flowers, instead just enjoying Namjoon on top of him, the sun creating a halo of light around him.

God he deserved to be worshipped like a god, so pretty and so smart. How was Jungkook this lucky?

It only got better, when Namjoon got a little shy, but still made himself comfortable on Jungkook's lap "I didn't want you to know yet, not until the harvest had come in. I didn't want to risk disappointing you. It's looking really promising, but I like to make sure. There is a chance that a flash freeze or rain storm could ruin it. Plus it wasn't just me who worked on it! Everybody worked hard."

"You are too sweet." Jungkook grinned, reaching over to get a hold on Namjoon's hips to keep him steady "now kiss?" he made an exertarated kissy face up at the omega.

They were all alone in the field, the rest of the pack would all be back in the center for dinner, it would be hours before somebody would come and find them.

Jungkook didn't get a kiss, instead he flipped around again, so he was between Namjoon's legs with Namjoon on his back "I like this one better, now you said something about kisses?"

The fact that Namjoon was strong enough to turn them around was way more hot than it had any right to be, and all Jungkook could do was eagerly dive down to kiss Namjoon.

Their scents mixed together perfect combining with the flowers as they made out eagerly, Jungkook's eager hands running over Namjoon's long pliant body, while the omega's hands were more than happy with making their home in Jungkook's hair.

Everything heated up between them very quickly, and it was far from the first time they had been making out, and far from the first time that Jungkook's could not just smell Namjoon's aroused scent, but also feel his own cock filling out as he rubbed against Namjoon's ass without thinking about it.

Every part of both himself and his inner alpha wanted the older man so badly. Namjoon was perfect in every way, and this would not be the first time where Jungkook pulled away blushing and trying to hide his hardon, while Namjoon would do the same.

There was one difference this time, it was that when Jungkook went to pull away, Namjoon didn't let go, instead wrapping his legs tighter around Jungkook, and sliding his hands down to the alpha's neck "nobody is gonna be here for a few hours, it's dinner and then the meeting, nobody will miss us either, it's just the two of us." Since it was still the end of the summer, the sun was still in the sky even as late as it was.

"Wait do you..." Jungkook was back to stuttering as all the blood that was normally meant to go to his brain to a detour down into his dick, as he tried to understand exactly what it was that Namjoon meant.

"Only if you want." Namjoon's entire face was red as he blushed, while biting his pretty lower lip that was already a little kiss swollen.

God Jungkook wanted nothing, but to bite the lip himself, still consent was important "I want our first time to be special, I want to treat you right." he felt so shy talking about this, but his mother had always said that if he wasn't old enough to talk about sex, then he wasn't old enough to have sex, so he did his best to speak like an adult.

"Flower and plants all around us, in the late summer sun? How could it be anything more perfect. It might not be traditional, but this is perfect for us." Namjoon was smiling that fond little smile that he normally saved for only Jungkook, and it always made him feel soft on the inside.

Turned out that when he was hard that smile also made him want to scent, bite and claim the omega. Well Jungkook was learning stuff about himself.

"Are you sure?"

Now it was Namjoon's turn to be self conscious. "If you don't want to, we don't have to, it's okay if you aren't ready. Alpha's have stereotypes as much as omegas does, and it is fine if you aren't ready, I don't mind...-"

Jungkook had learned that Namjoon would start rambling when he was nervous and he would keep going if nobody interrupted him.

So he did it in the best way he knew to interrupt the omega, kissing him silly. Which he did more than happily, and luckily, Namjoon didn't seem to mind.

"I want you so badly." both were breathing heavily as the kiss broke "but I was once told that consent is sexy, and I have decided to live by that."

"God you are so stupid, I love you." and then it was Namjoon's turn to kiss Jungkook.

Things sped up from there, both eager to get their clothes off, hands pulling at straps and buttons, Jungkook swearing for a short second at how complicated the omega's clothes were, with so many buttons that did NOTHING just because Namjoon thought they looked pretty.

At the sun slowly started to set, both were finally naked, Namjoon lying under Jungkook in his complete birthday suit, and the alpha was pretty sure that he had never seen anything more beautiful.

Beautiful tan from working outside for hours upon hours in the fields, strong shoulders from hauling dirt and just great genetics, thick amazing thighs that had found their home around Jungkook's waist and seemingly unable to even consider letting go, and to top of it all off dark coloured nipples that was begging to be sucked and played with and a cute little omega cocklet that with fit perfectly in Jungkook's hand.

So much skin, so much to do and touch, where was Jungkook even meant to start?

Luckily for both of them, Namjoon was the brain in this activity as he wrapped his hand around Jungkook's cock "I know that look in your eyes, please not this time, I want you so badly, please fuck me and bite me?"

Well that tone of voice simply shouldn't be legal, how was an innocent alpha's like Jungkook meant to think when Namjoon jerked him off spreading his precum up and down his shaft getting him ready.

Groaning into Namjoon's shoulder, Jungkook's arms were shaking to hold him up "we make love, we don't fuck. Shit let me prep you first."

Namjoon just laughed, seemingly enjoying how Jungkook was falling apart at the edges with each pull of his hand "I am an omega, I was made for this, claim me alpha?" with his free hand that wasn't busy jerking off Jungkook he guided down the alpha's hand, so Jungkook could feel Namjoon's wet entrance, and with a little help and guidance from the omega, easily sank 3 fingers inside of him.

Shit, Namjoon really was made for him, because the omegas body accepted him so easily like it was nothing, perfectly tight, but never too much that it made either of them uncomfortable, instead making him moan out in sweet little moans of pleasure with every move of Jungkook's hands.

"Please alpha, I want your cock, not your fingers, I can take it!" Namjoon's normally deep voice was much higher than normal, and Jungkook's cock aching to bury itself inside of Namjoon.

"You sure?" Jungkook knew that Namjoon was getting frustrated with his constant asking, but he still felt that he had to ask again. He was bent over Namjoon, trying his best to cover Namjoon's body with his as he gave a light lick to Namjoon's neck, where he would be biting him at the end of their mating, to claim him.

"Yes!" Namjoon whined, and for a moment his hand tightened on Jungkook's cock as he guided it to his entrance "if you don't get in me, I swear I will do it myself!" That was not an empty threat, Jungkook had long since learned that there was no such thing as empty threats when it came to Namjoon.

"So bossy."

"I didn't think I would have to convince my alpha to fuck me." Namjoon whined again as he let go of the hand that Jungkook was using to fuck him "cock now? Please alpha?"

That was just cheating.

Jungkook finally needed no more convincing as he took over his own cock from Namjoon, guiding the omega arms around his shoulders while guiding his cock to the omega's entrance. So wet and ready for him, Namjoon was so slick, showing exactly how much the omega wanted it.

Slowly, while looking into his omega's eyes, keeping eye contact, Jungkook pushed his cock inside of Namjoon, keeping an ever slow, but constant pace until they both moaned when he bottomed out.

They stayed there for just a little while, looking at each other while breathing heavily.

This was it, this was their mating, in the sunset in the middle of the flower field, Jungkook finally started fucking Namjoon for real, the omega meeting every thrust of his hips with one of his own. Small moans and groans of each other's names, and the words alpha, omega, were exchanged between them.

Maybe it wasn't exactly what Jungkook had thought of their first mating, but it was perfect for them. Under the sky, in the flowers, exactly what fit them. He loved it, he loved Namjoon, he loved how Namjoon seemed like he was almost perfect for Jungkook.

Namjoon's body seemed tight, warm and wet, feeling amazing. As much as he wanted it to last, there was no way he would be able to, with every thrust of his hips, with every nail of Namjoon's prostate, Jungkook could feel his own knot slowly starting to grow.

Unsure of what he should do, he wanted to ask, but Namjoon, always clever Namjoon, understood what the question was before Jungkook even managed to ask it, tightening his legs around him "inside..."

Jungkook almost came then and there, they both knew what it meant. While there was no guarantee, they both knew that it had a decent chance of ending in a pup. A pup that they had both talked about wanting.

First mating and pup, that was a dream for both of them as Jungkook mouthed at Namjoon's neck "I am close, you?" he reached down, focusing his strength on holding himself up with his knees and one hand while he took the other one to rub at Namjoon's little omega cocklet.

"Yees! Please alpha, knot I want you knot! Please!" Namjoon begging was really way too much for Jungkook to be able to deal with as he sped up the thrusting of his hips to eagerly and needily get ready to knot the omega.

He was panting into Namjoon's neck, and he could feel his wolf teeth grow, ready to claim his omega as his knot started to grow, with every thrust of his hips it was catching on the rim of Namjoon's entrance forcing moans out of the omega with every thrust.

Namjoon's own hands had found their ways to where they wanted to be, one in Namjoon's hair, the other in Jungkook's shoulder, digging in cute little claws leaving

marks, that Jungkook wanted to wear like he did the scar from the bear, as something to be proud of.

"Yes yes yes!" Namjoon were chanting to word, as he with his hand in Jungkook's hair made sure that the alpha didn't move away from his neck, making sure that not even for a moment would the alpha have the chance to regret it.

Like there was any part of Jungkook capable of regretting it.

All it took was a few more thrusts of his hips, with Namjoon meeting them perfectly at every thrust before Jungkook's knot grew back enough that with one last push of his hips, he was no longer able to pull it, locked inside of Namjoon.

The pleasure was something Jungkook had never felt before, no knotting his hand thinking of Namjoon had ever felt even close to how it felt in that moment, and he was pretty sure he had never cum as hard as he did at that moment.

In all honesty, he was pretty sure he kinda passed out as he buried his now fully elongated canines into Namjoon's neck, bonding them together as mates, as Namjoon tightened around him, cuming as well with Jungkook's name on his lips.

It was nothing like either of them had expected, but it was perfect. Their perfect moment.

After their coupling was done, when both of them were sure the other was okay, after Namjoon had placed a matching mating mark, they just lied there on the ground, staring up at the sky, no words being exchanged. They didn't need to talk, all they needed was each other.

6 months later, when the next mating run took place, neither Namjoon nor Jungkook was taking part, they never would again, as both were happy in the bond, especially with the little pup growing inside Namjoon's stomach, getting a little bigger every day.

Maybe Jungkook had cried when he had found out they were expecting, and every day since he would have moments where he would just be in awe by how beautiful his omega was when he glowed with pregnancy.

It might have taken them a while to get there, but in the end... both got their happy ending.
