A Pack's Price

Chapter 5: Flower crowns and doubt

I apologize that I forgot to tag it as rape/non-con. I feel really bad that some of you read it and maybe it was triggering or just distasteful. Some of you are angry that I didn't tag it well and I feel really guilty about it. Regardless, I just wanted to try out AO3. I'm not sure I can get a hang of the chapter or tagging system so I apologize. I may not finish this story because I'm nervous of triggering others. I have a bad anxiety about it and i really dont think sharing my fanfics with such a large reader base is for me. I'm really sorry everyone.

The next morning Jimin woke up to Namjoon missing. He could still smell him nearby, so the initial panic he felt at being alone with Jin and an injured Yoongi faded. He looked down to Jin, who was still sleeping soundly. He smiled and gently brushed the others bangs out of his eyes. It was nice having another omega. It had only been him and Taehyung and although it had been fun and he loved his friend dearly, it felt overwhelming sometimes to be the only two with a pack of four alphas.

He carefully climbed out of the cot and went to feed wood into the fire. He assumed Namjoon had been gone for a while now, considering the fire was dying out. As he placed the wood into the fire, his eyes drifted to Yoongi, who was still laying motionless.

Jimin felt a pang of hurt in his chest and he crawled closer to the alpha.

With the way he protected both him and Jin, he owed him his life. He carefully scratched behind his ears. He could see that some places of his fur were sticking out awkwardly and Jimin knew it must've been Namjoon grooming him earlier.

The alpha made a small, questioning growl and Jimin's eyes widened.

"Y-Yoongi hyung? You're awake?" He asked softly, leaning over the wolf curiously.

Yoongi was staring at Jimin, seeming to enjoy the attention.

"Um... How are you feeling?" He asked hesitantly.

Yoongi snorted and tried moving his head away. "H-hey! I thought I should at least ask!" Jimin frowned and gently tried making the alpha look at him again. ".... It does look like it hurts..."

Yoongi huffed in affirmation.

"....Thank you... For protecting us. You really scared me, you know..."

At that, Yoongi turned to stare at Jimin again, his gaze filled with curiosity and hurt.

"If it wasn't for you.... Jin and I, we could've been taken. I was really scared. I didn't want to think of being separated from any of you... and I don't want to be controlled. That was the first time that pack had gotten so close to us."

Yoongi made a pained sound as he moved to rest his head on Jimin's lap, licking his hand comfortingly.

"Oh, good. You're awake."

Jimin turned to Namjoon, who was holding three dead rabbits. He held them up sheepishly. "I know it's not much, but I figured I should stay close to the den and not take too much time hunting. And I know we still have the bear meat, but with everything that's happened, I figured fresh meat is more than appropriate." He smiled, dimples visible even in the dimly let den.

Jimin nodded. He watched Namjoon check on Jin before coming over to the two of them. "Namjoon hyung... Can't we move Yoongi hyung to a more comfortable spot?"

Namjoon scoffed. "I tried. I think Yoongi hyung's still in pain. It's probably best to leave him be until his wounds at least close. You're fine where you are, aren't you?" He asked Yoongi as he held out the rabbit.

Yoongi growled in agreement, taking the rabbit from Namjoon and eating it gratefully.

"Jimin, you should eat too. You're getting a little thin." Namjoon held the rabbit to him with a small smile.
