REBORN TO DIVORCE MY HUSBAND (TaeKook)
Velnara kingdom
ROYAL COURT SYSTEM AND OMEGA POLITICS
Velnara kingdom is well known for its strong powerful monarchy ruled by Alpha kings, where Omega marriages are tools for alliance, political gain, and bloodline purity
There is no equality between alphas, Beta and omegas. Alpha rule the kingdom, Beta serve in court or any political affair, while Omegas are expected to obey and bear children
The Royal families strictly adheres to The Purity Doctrine, this is an ancient law that governs Omega rights, marriage consummation, and royal bloodline obligations
Royal marriages must be consummated before midnight on the wedding day to seal the bond, this is enforced by traditional and magical contract seals that activate only upon scent exchange and consummation
An unconsummated marriage can be annulled, but only by the king and the Omega is punished for defiling the devine order
Omega children by royal blood cannot be raised by Omega parent alone, they are claimed by Alpha in house and raised in royal custody
Second chances (rebirth) are divine curse whispered in old prophecy
Wedding night consummation rule
On the wedding night, the couple is expected to perform bonding ritual that include, scent marking, physical union (consummation), and activation of binding Seal that appears on the Omega's lower abdomen, growing briefly once the ritual is complete
A guard of witness and a priest wait outside until the Omega is marked and the binding seal appears
Consequences of refusing consummation
The Omega is declared disobedient, risking improvement or exile
The marriage is declared void, and the Omega's house loses all status, wealth and protection
Whispers of forced consummation under the rule exist, but the Royal court insists all bonds are blessed
In the dungeons
The dungeons were cold, but not colder than the palace, the young Omega man who was once valued, respected and loved was now starving, sitting on a cold floor
His hands were chained, he stopped crying days ago, his husband never visited him since he was thrown in the dungeons
His once delicate hands, now bruised and blooded, the iron chains cuffed his wrists
His scent which was once sweet and warm was dulled by despair, sickness and hunger
Past Taehyung
Please... Just let me... See my son*voice barely above a whisper*
The guards outside didn't respond
Taehyung dragged his knees, curling into himself as another cough wracked his throat, and blood stained his lips
But that was nothing for the pain he has endured, he didn't want revenge, he didn't want freedom
He just wanted to hold his son Jeon Vantae for the last time
Past Taehyung
He is only seven... He must be scared in that big palace *horse voice*
Past Taehyung
*pressed his forehead against the stone wall, tears mixing with dust* He can't live without my scent when frightened, he took after his stupid father who only care about the throne than his family *mumble with dry throat*
Past Taehyung
Jungkook*whisper the name like a final curse*
Past Taehyung
You said...you would protect me
Jungkook is the Alpha king who married Taehyung for politics. The cold man who only visited Taehyung's chamber when duty calls
The man who kissed him with frozen lips and turn away every time Taehyung tried to speak of love, warmth and fear
Past Taehyung
You have taken my body...my voice, my child... And now my life
his vision became blurry as another cough rattled him
He remembered the oracle the words that were spoken when he was pregnant, trembling under starlight
" This isn't your life, if your heart breaks under the chains, the stars may pity you, but beware, rebirth does not come with forgiveness "
Past Taehyung
*trembling*" if I can be born again... I will never love, Jungkook. Never again
Past Taehyung
" I will never love king Jeon Jungkook again "
Past Taehyung
" Even if fate dares to tie us once more "
The torch at the end of the corridor flickered
Like that Taehyung died, without saying goodbye to his lovely son, without the respect he once received, with regret of marrying Jungkook
The pain of losing yourself just to keep someone, the pain of following the law, the pain of pleasing everyone, but what did he get in the end.
I'm reborn
The warm breeze passed through the silk curtains, what Tae remember was that he was still in the dungeon, but the warmth he was feeling now was something he felt years ago
he remembered the weight of chains, the coldness in the dungeons, his son's laughter before being imprisoned, his bruised and blooded hands, the vow he made to never love Jungkook again
Kim Taehyung/ RO/ MC
*open his eyes, breath hitching* No, no, no
Taehyung was sweating as if he just woke up from a nightmare, and it was really a nightmare
He looked down to his hands, but the weight of chains, the pain of bruises, the clotting of blood on his wrist were no longer there
Kim Taehyung/ RO/ MC
This is impossible*mumble with shock as he walks toward the mirror on the corner of the room*
Before walking further he stopped in the middle as he looked around the room
Kim Taehyung/ RO/ MC
This looks like my old room... Before marriage*heart about to burst*
The wedding dressing placed beside the bed well folded, with golden jewels
Kim Taehyung/ RO/ MC
I remember I was very happy in my life looking at the wedding gown...*tear role as he stumbled toward the mirror*
He looked at the reflection, it looked younger, softer and untouched by sorrow
Kim Taehyung/ RO/ MC
*collapsed on his knees in disbelief* this is... The day I got married
Kim Taehyung/ RO/ MC
The day I married king Jeon Jungkook*voice above a whisper trembling*
Kim Taehyung/ RO/ MC
this was the beginning of my... end*Voice shaky*
Kim Taehyung/ RO/ MC
The beginning of my ill fate, they took my child away from me, they locked me in dungeons, and no one looked at me no matter how much... I begged*Tears uncontrollable*
His nails scraped the floor as the memory of that final breath returned
"if I'm born again, I won't love him. Never again"
Tears fell, slow and silent, this time it wasn't from confusion, but from devastating clarity
Kim Taehyung/ RO/ MC
This... This isn't a dream, moon goddess has really granted me a second chance*mumble with a small smile*
A knock at the door, brought him back to reality, to the second chance he has been given
Zhou Yu/ Beta/ Tae's personal maid
*enter without waiting for Tae's response* Young master Taehyung, the bath is ready, the royal envoys will arrive at noon, and you will be leaving for the palace before sundown
Taehyung didn't answer his fist clenched on the marble floor
Kim Taehyung/ RO/ MC
You can go I'm coming*didn't look at her*
Zhou Yu/ Beta/ Tae's personal maid
*tilt her head in confusion* alright master, be ready to marry your dream man*smile as she walk out of the room*
Kim Taehyung/ RO/ MC
Dream my foot*mumble*
Kim Taehyung/ RO/ MC
If I get married today, then the consummation must also happen... If not Jungkook will never let me go*mumble sadly*
But this time Taehyung was not the Taehyung they used to know, he was different, he still had his previous life memories
Kim Taehyung/ RO/ MC
*looked at the window, where the warmth of sunrise shine* I don't care if it's fate, I don't care if the stars ordained it
Kim Taehyung/ RO/ MC
I will not love him, this time I will escape before he can ruin me*serious wiping of his tears as he stood from the marble floor*
Second chances are rare, it all takes how you use those chances
