Few minutes past nine and Taehyung returned. The Alpha had missed his mate so much and while at work, he was only thinking of getting home to the warm embrace of his beautiful Omega.

"Baby". Taehyung hugged Jimin from behind, his face deep in the neck of the Omega.

"Tae something is wrong". Jimin panicked as he shrugged off Taehyung's face from his neck.

"What's wrong baby?" The Alpha frowned. Immediately getting worried over Jimin's countenance.

"Taemin...he left".

There was a minute of uncomfortable silence between the mates. Taehyung was unable to understand the situation quickly as he stared at his Omega, wanting more explanation but Jimin stared right back him, tears threatening to fall from his eyes.

"What do you mean by he left?" Taehyung settled for a simple question.

"We...we had a fight and he said he would go away". Jimin's lips wobbled as he explained to the Alpha.

"What did you tell him?" The Alpha asked.

Jimin looked up at him with teary eyes, feeling guilty about the words he said to their teenage son. The Omega's lips were sealed , words unable to come out.

"Taemin is going out with a rogue". Jimin blurted, his heart pounding as more guilt overtook him.

"I asked what you said to him Jimin. What was the fight about?" The Alpha was losing his patience.

"Honey calm..."

Byul's loud cry suddenly cut Jimin's word and the omega was almost immediately making his way to go attend to his pup but he still wanted to go find his older pup so he stood in front of Taehyung confused.

"What are you waiting for? Go and attend to the pup". Taehyung said in an annoyed tone before rushing out and slamming the door shut.

"Honey wait". Jimin tried to stop the Alpha.

"Stay back Omega, I'm going to look for my son". Taehyung yelled from outside.

Taehyung just addressed him as "Omega". It made Jimin sad. He didn't like when things got like this, when they fought. It scared him because even as the years had passed, the memories of the past remained and he never prayed to experience the bad side of his Alpha again. Above all, he hoped Taemin was safe and close enough to be found easily.

*****

Taemin had run all the way to Jungkook's place but the young Alpha was not home and Taemin just sat by the doorstep waiting for the rogue to return. He was crying and snort ran down his nose as he heaved and choked on his tears. Taemin was feeling all sorts of emotions, terrible especially because he had never talked back at his Mama and never ran away from home before. He was not even sure how the hell he got the balls to rebel.

While Taemin sat there, a woman and obviously an Omega walked up to him. Taemin hurriedly jumped from the spot where he sat, afraid of the stranger who approached him.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" The woman asked, looking around to make sure the young Omega was alone. Rogues had always been careful to avoid falling into traps.

"I'm Tae... Taemin... I'm loo.. looking for Jun... Jungkook". Taemin answered fearfully, eyes fixed intensely on the ground.

"What business do you have with my son?" The older omega asked with an obvious distaste written all over her. She could tell Taemin wasn't a rogue and she didn't like associating with wolves who belonged to a pack or wolves from a family headed by an Alpha. It was people like that who killed Jungkook's father after all and she hates them for that. Even though Jungkook's father wasn't her mate, they still birthed a son together and they would have been a happy family if only the late Alpha had stopped going after a certain Omega.

"We...he...umm we are friends". Taemin stuttered.

"My son has no friends, so..."

"Mother, I know him!" Jungkook rushed between his mother and Taemin. He had sighted them from far and he could tell that his mother was interrogating the poor boy. The young Alpha dropped the firewood he fetched and rushed to his mother and Taemin.

"Jungkook I warned you never to let their kind come close to our home. You don't listen to me. Do you want to end up like your father?" The older omega scolded her son, voice loud and filled with anger.

Jungkook stared between his mother and the omega who had stolen his young heart. He could see that Taemin had been crying and nothing was more important that minute than finding out who had the audacity to hurt his baby (even though Taemin was older).

"Mother can't you see he's crying? Be nice". Jungkook rolled his eyes at his mother and took Taemin in his arms.

"I don't know what you two have but I don't want him near my house. Take him back to his home and get back here before I do something crazy". Jungkook's mother gestured the teenagers to leave.

"It's late in the night mother. You wouldn't want us to get hurt in the woods would you? The Alpha asked.

"Send him home Jungkook". The woman glared at her stubborn son already frustrated.

"I won't". Jungkook insisted.

"You're just like your father, you never listen until things go wrong". The older omega complained.

Taemin on the other hand hid behind the Alpha but after the mother and son went back and forth, Jungkook soon took him inside the house. He didn't know how the Alpha was able to convince his mother. All he felt was the Alpha's hand grabbing him and taking him into the house.

Jungkook's room was small and different from the typical rooms Taemin had ever seen but he didn't comment on it as he followed the young Alpha.

"Fought with your Mama?" Jungkook asked, casually unbuttoning his shirt in front of Taemin. Apart from the fact that he wanted to change into fresh clothes, he was also showing off his small abs to the Omega. Such a flirt.

Taemin's eyes widened and he quickly turned away from the Alpha. He was a blushing mess and his whole face was hot. Jungkook burst into laughter at Taemin's reaction, finding it cute.

"We're boys. This is totally normal". Jungkook shook his head with a teasing smile.

"We're not of the same status. You know what I mean". Taemin rolled his eyes.

"We're going to be mates anyway, so we might as well see each other naked". The young Alpha teased more.

"Oh my dear moon goddess. Shut up Jungkook!" Taemin almost screamed.

"I don't mind if you see me naked". Jungkook shrugged as he placed his dirty clothes in a pile of others that needed washing.

"No thanks. My father will kill me". The Omega landed on the bed, finally relaxing as his small talks with Jungkook had managed to light up his mood.

"Have you ever touched yourself?" Jungkook suddenly asked. The question was so random but he'd like to know if Taemin also does what he does to himself in the confines of his room.

"I touch myself everyday. What kind of question is that?" The young Omega asked innocently.

"Do you pleasure yourself on your buds, your hole. Do you make yourself c..."

"Eww no". Taemin scrunched up his face. He wasn't exactly disgusted but the thought of doing things like that cringed him out.

*****

Taehyung followed the faint scent of his teenage son that lingered in the woods. The Alpha could sense he was close and at the back of his mind, he prayed that Taemin was safe. Being a young Omega, the boy may run into bad Alphas. Lord, he didn't want to think about what dangers his son could face.

Taehyung walked deeper into the woods before finally sighting a poorly constructed cottage. Taemin's scent was stronger around there meaning that he was definitely close. Taehyung didn't waste time to march to the house. He knocked on the door repeatedly, running out of patience when no one answered. If he stood there for more than twenty minutes then he'd break into the house because he was sure Taemin was in that house.

"Who are you?" Jungkook's mother asked behind the door. Who in the whole woods would visit by that time of the night.

"Bring my son to me this minute!" Taehyung demanded.

"Describe your son". The woman's voice was a lot calmer.

"He's a teenage male Omega. Light skin, petite, plump lips, button nose with a mole in the middle, dark hair and..."

"I'll get him". The woman already confirmed Taehyung's description to be the same boy Jungkook had claimed to be his friend.

Jungkook's mum went towards Jungkook's room to get the Omega while Taehyung waited outside. As she approached the door, she heard muffled whimpers. She thought she heard wrong before but as she placed her ear on the door, it was indeed what she heard. It sounded like someone was crying and it definitely wasn't Jungkook because that boy never cried.
