Flashback
Jeongguk walked in the big and luxurious mansion, neck almost hurting from how much he was turning his head, taking everything in. He has never seen wealth like this before but he wasn’t surprised, he knew who was the owner of the house, it was one of the richest men in the country and also one of the most dangerous.
“Don’t stare too much, keep your head low and don’t talk,” Yoongi instructed him and couple of other young men that were coming with him.
For the past year, they have been training to become perfect soldiers in the pack, they were all alphas and betas in their early twenties and Jeongguk was the strongest and most skilled of them when it came to all kinds of martial arts and handling weapons. New recruits of the pack lived in a house beyond the hill and only when they became officially part of the pack, they met the leader and started living in the main mansion. This was the day they were officially becoming part of the pack. Jeongguk didn’t really know how to feel about it.
They walked in a big saloon, it almost looked like a throne room and they all immediately bowed their heads in the presence of the alpha that was sitting at the front. Even his scent and presence were strong, screaming power. Jeongguk has been hearing stories about Kim Sehoon since he was a little kid, even before he presented as an alpha. Sehoon was one of the most feared alphas in the country, he was a vile man and he owned half of the city of Seoul. That was also the reason why Jeongguk was now becoming part of his pack, he didn’t really have a choice, Sehoon’s men went in the streets from time to time, looking for new recruits. The pack was mostly composed of alphas and some betas, the only omegas that were part of it were mates of the others.
“It is always a happy to day to welcome new members into the family,” Sehoon spoke when all of them stopped few feet from him, doing as Yoongi told them, not even looking at the man. Yoongi was the one who trained them with the help of Hoseok. They were both alphas and they were both respected by the leader and all pack members, despite being still very young.
“Look at me,” the leader said loudly with a growl in his throat, using his alpha voice, making it impossible for the others to disobey.
Jeongguk looked at the older man. Sehoon was probably in his forties, he was quite short but he was strong, his hair was mostly grey and his face was decorated with a long scar. What stood out the most were his eyes, there was nothing kind in them, Jeongguk actually felt shivers running down his spine.
He felt the man next to him shiver. He knew it was Jimin, they became quite close friends in the past year. Jimin was a beta but he was very strong and fast, that was why he was chosen to be part of the pack too.
But then Jeongguk’s attention and eyes landed elsewhere. At the small platform, at the chair that was next to the big one that Sehoon was occupying just few moments ago, was sitting the most ethereal being Jeongguk has ever seen.
It was an omega and it almost seemed like he was glowing. Maybe it was because of his shiny silver hair or the bright blue eyes or the golden, perfect skin or just his beauty in general. Jeongguk was staring for few seconds before he received a nudge from Yoongi.
“Don’t stare if you don’t wanna earn yourself a bullet between your eyes,” Yoongi said quietly, straightening up when the boss stepped closer to them.
“All of you look strong,” Sehoon said, eyeing the young men with critical gaze but then his eyes landed on Jimin: “This one is short though and he’s a beta.”
“He is very strong and agile, Sehoon-ssi,” Yoongi reassured him. The older man just hummed, eyes turning to Jeongguk. He stepped in front of him.
“You are quite tall and strong,” he commented.
“He’s the one I told you about,” Yoongi said, making it clear that he has talked about Jeongguk to the leader before.
“Oh, so you are the golden boy, eh?” Sehoon raised his eyebrow, there was clear mockery in his voice but his eyes looked intrigued. He was definitely curious what Jeongguk could do.
“We’ll see if the stories about your abilities are true soon enough, I have something planned for you greenies, some of you won’t probably survive,” the boss said with a wicked grin, walking back to his chair.
Jeongguk bowed his head but he raised his eyes, looking up at the leader and the omega. He noticed Sehoon putting a hand possessively at the omega’s thigh, he noticed the claim mark on the boy’s neck. He was very young, probably even younger than him and it baffled him that he was mate with someone who could be his father. But he knew lots of strong alphas in lead positions liked having young mates, it was another showcase of their power.
“Show them their rooms, they can choose with whom they want to share, I don’t care,” Sehoon looked at Yoongi without much care. The younger alpha bowed to him, knowing this was the end of it so it was better to just take the newbies away.
“Come, flower,” Jeongguk heard Sehoon’s voice and he dared to glance up one last time just in time to see the omega elegantly standing up, walking away behind the leader. Jeongguk quickly looked down when the omega suddenly turned around and looked straight at him.
Jeongguk ended up sharing room with Jimin since they were the closest. The room wasn’t luxurious but it wasn’t bad either and it was quite spacious, it even had a bathroom just for the two of them.
“The dinner is in an hour, all the pack members eat together, even the boss, so don’t be late,” Yoongi informed them briefly, telling them where to find the big dining room before he left them. They had a meeting tomorrow where he and Hoseok were going to school them about the pack’s schedule and take them on a tour around the house and surroundings to show them everything.
When Jeongguk and Jimin settled little bit, they found the dining room or more like a big hall with tens of tables. The pack was huge, it had almost seventy members, including omegas and kids, and Jeongguk was surprised the mansion could accommodate all of them. He figured some of them had probably their own places, the higher ranked members that were trusted enough didn’t live here.
To Jeongguk’s surprise, Hoseok came to sit with him and Jimin to the table with few other pack members that didn’t really pay any attention to them. Jeongguk liked Hoseok, he was a stern teacher and he was really skilled fighter but he was also nice and cheerful.
“So you met the big boss,” Hoseok nudged Jimin with his shoulder: “Did it go well?”
“I have a feeling we wouldn’t all be sitting here if it didn’t,” Jeongguk pointed out, stuffing noodles in his mouth. He has heard enough about the leader to make a picture about him, he knew he didn’t have problems with killing, even his own members.
“Good point,” Hoseok chuckled.
Jeongguk’s eyes wandered to the table in the front of the hall, there were only four people seated there.
“Who is that by Sehoon-ssi’s right side?” Jeongguk asked curiously, looking at a young man with hard features.
“Oh, that’s Namjoon, Sehoon’s little brother,” Hoseok explained: “There is a huge age difference between them, over twenty years. Namjoon is basically the right hand, he is really strict and skilled and clever but he is nothing like Sehoon if you ask me.”
“Why’s that?” Jimin wondered.
“Namjoon-ah is…much more diplomatic, he does what he has to but he has a good heart,” Hoseok smiled. By the familiar way he addressed him, Jeongguk figured that he was quite close with the leader’s brother but he wasn’t surprised, Hoseok was high ranked member, he became part of the pack years ago.
“And that beside Namjoon is his mate Seokjin,” Hoseok nodded his head towards a handsome brunette. His face was pretty much perfect, he was the kind of omega every alpha dreamt of but he had nothing on the figure sitting at the left end of the table.
“And who is that?” Jeongguk asked nonchalantly, looking at the silver haired omega.
“That is Taehyung, Sehoon’s mate,” Hoseok replied.
“Yoongi said not to stare at him if we didn’t want to get killed.”
“That’s true,” Hoseok laughed: “I have seen guys ending up dead because they dared to stare for too long at the boss’ precious flower.”
Jeongguk remembered that was how Sehoon called Taehyung earlier that day, it was probably his pet name for him that everyone in the gang knew.
“He is very handsome, I have never seen anyone like this,” Jimin spoke. Jeongguk was quite relieved that he wasn’t the only one with that thought.
“Because there aren’t left many like him,” Hoseok looked at them: “Taehyung is a Lunar.”
“What?” Jimin gasped, looking briefly at the omega at the front and then back at Hoseok: “I thought Lunars were extinct.”
“There are few left but they are rare species,” Hoseok nodded. That was true, everyone has heard about Lunars, they were an ancient species but there were mostly just stories about them nowadays. Silver hair and blue eyes were actually one of their distinctive features, Jeongguk now remembered. They were said to be very beautiful, especially the omegas, and now seeing Taehyung, he knew the legends was true.
“How did Sehoon-ssi manage to get him?” Jimin wondered.
“Sehoon always gets what he wants,” Hoseok said quietly, leaning closer to the two younger men: “He likes collecting rare and precious things, he has a big ego, he has to own always the best things to show off his power. From what I know, Taehyung was raised by a pack without his parents. We got in the war with that pack about three years ago and Sehoon decided to wipe them out. He succeeded and when we raided their mansion, he found him. It was the greatest trophy of that war, he took Taehyung here and the rest is history.”
“He looks really young,” Jeongguk frowned.
“He is only twenty, yeah, but he is an adult,” Hoseok shrugged: “Even if he wasn’t, I don’t think Sehoon would care.”
Jeongguk felt sick, it just felt so wrong that someone so young and pure looking was mated with someone as vile as Sehoon. He couldn’t imagine that, so Taehyung has lived here since he was seventeen, he was basically just a kid when Sehoon took him here. He refused to think about how he treated him back then and what he did to him. He was still so young even now, three years younger than Jeongguk.
“I don’t think Sehoon really loves him, he just loves the idea of having him,” Hoseok added quietly: “As for Taehyung, I have no idea what he feels but he is trouble.”
Jeongguk looked over at the couple. So Taehyung was basically kidnapped by the leader and forced to mate with him. But right now, it didn’t look like the omega was held against his will. He was just whispering something to Sehoon, seductively batting his eyelashes with a small pout on his lips.
“He has Sehoon wrapped around his finger,” Hoseok’s voice brought him from his thoughts: “He is very charming and he likes to tease and play, which has been downfall of many people. Like I said, I have seen lots of alphas die because they dared to look at him or touch him, Sehoon is very possessive of his precious flower. Better to just stay away from him, he is trouble.”
Jeongguk didn’t have any intention in trying his luck and getting close to the omega, he loved himself and his life too much to risk getting killed for him.
Later that night when he was lying in the new bed and Jimin was soundly asleep on the other side of the room, his mind wandered back to the silver haired boy. It was hard not to think about him and his beauty.
*
Like Sehoon promised, just two weeks after Jeongguk and the other young alphas moved in the mansion, they went on a mission. The pack had a grudge with another one, they have been fighting for territory for a while now and Sehoon decided it was time to strike.
It was a bloody battle, everything was included, guns, knives, teeth and claws. Sehoon was right about half of Jeongguk’s friends not surviving. After three longs days of fighting, only he, Jimin and one other alpha came back home.
He wanted nothing more than to take a long, hot shower and have a proper meal and then sleep for at least ten hours. He was bruised, few cuts decorating his body but he knew it would heal rather fast because young alphas’ healing abilities were good, it got worse with age.
“Daddy, you’re home!” deep, velvety and sweet voice brought him from his thoughts. He looked to the staircase, seeing Taehyung, dressed only in a silky robe, rushing down with a smile. He ran straight to the leader’s arms and kissed him.
“Did you miss me, flower? Were you scared I wouldn’t come back?” Sehoon asked in much softer voice than he normally used with everyone.
“I knew you would come back, you always do, you never lose,” the omega looked at his mate with a smirk: “But I did miss you, I was so lonely without you.”
Jeongguk watched as Taehyung traced finger over Sehoon’s chest, pouting and batting his eyelashes.
“I am here now and I am gonna give you all my attention,” Sehoon said lowly, hand travelling to the omega’s ass, squeezing it.
“Don’t make me wait, my bed is too cold without you, daddy,” Taehyung chuckled cutely, biting his lip. The couple obviously didn’t mind that they had audience of about twenty people. No one was really paying them attention, not even looking at them and Jeongguk figured it was something they were all used to.
“I am gonna keep you warm tonight,” Sehoon’s eyes flashed red.
“I know, you always fuck me the best after a battle,” Taehyung whispered, not really trying to be quiet though.
Jeongguk was just staring, the whole scene seemed so bizarre to him. He quickly looked away when Taehyung suddenly looked at him, small playful smile dancing on his lips. He remembered Hoseok’s words, he wasn’t going to risk his life for a spoiled omega.
“Oh, daddy, I just remembered,” Taehyung looked back at his mate, sighing dramatically: “When you were gone, you left Jihoon to watch over me. He was bothering me one evening.”
“Bothering you?” Sehoon growled, eyes flashing red again, this time for different reasons.
“He touched me, I managed to push him away but it still upset me,” the omega whined. Sehoon growled again and everyone instantly knew that Jihoon was a dead man, even Jeongguk understood, despite experiencing this situation for the very first time.
Sehoon looked at Yoongi, who was standing next to him: “Bring me Jihoon.”
“Yes, boss,” Yoongi nodded, not daring to protest. Jeongguk was bewildered, was Sehoon really going to kill this man just because Taehyung claimed he touched him? Was he not going to ask him what happened to make sure it was true?
“No one touches my flower and gets away with it,” Sehoon growled, wrapping a possessive arm around Taehyung’s waist, pressing him to himself.
“I am so lucky that my daddy always protects me,” Taehyung giggled. Jeongguk felt shivers running down his spine, there was just something malicious about that sound, it was cute but there was more behind it. It was like Taehyung was having a great time. Jeongguk realized that he and Sehoon were perfect mates for each other, they were both fucked up.
“Boss, what is going on? I swear I didn’t do anything, I was leading him to his room and he tripped so I caught him!” Yoongi came back with a screaming man. No one in the room dared to speak up, even Namjoon, the leader’s brother, was just standing there, watching the scene with a frown.
“Don’t lie to me, you scum,” Sehoon growled, turning to Taehyung briefly: “Go upstairs, flower, I will be right there.”
“Don’t make me wait,” the omega smiled, pressing kiss to the elder’s cheek before he turned around and nearly skipped out of the room.
“Boss, please!” Jihoon screamed as Yoongi led him to the main saloon.
“Shut up,” the leader got out through gritted teeth, following the two alphas and closing the door behind them.
Jeongguk and Jimin exchanged shocked looks but they knew it was better not to question anything, so they just went upstairs. Before they even reached the top of the first floor, they flinched when the air in the house was pierced with a gunshot.
Jeongguk wondered where the hell he found himself at but there was nothing he could do about it, like Hoseok said, Sehoon always got what he wanted and he had a feeling that he didn’t appreciate deserters. He just needed to grit his teeth, keep his mouth shut and not let his eyes wander, especially not in the company of the silver haired omega. If he was just a good, obedient soldier, he had nothing to fear of.
“That Taehyung seems like a real asshole,” Jimin commented when they were in the safety of their room.
“Yeah, better to stay away from him,” Jeongguk nodded in agreement: “You wanna go take a shower?”
“No, go first, I am gonna call home, they haven’t heard from me for a while, they must be worried,” Jimin waved his hand dismissively, pulling out his phone. They were allowed to communicate with their families but now their loyalty belonged to the pack.
Jeongguk just hummed, taking out some clean clothes and locking himself in the bathroom, taking that desired hot shower.
