Episode 4

THIRD PERSON POV

Taehyung's heat was now over. It was the fourth day, and he woke up sore and tired. But surprisingly, he was able to walk.

He slid out of the bed and made his way to the bathroom. The others had made sure to set out a new set of sheets for Taehyung before putting him to bed the other night, so at least he didn't have to worry about sleeping in a dirty bed.

He turned on the shower and stepped in, relaxing under the hot stream coming from the faucet above his head.

When he was done, he dried himself off and pulled on one of his alpha's shirts...and judging by the smell it was Jimin's. It was very large on him, even Jimin's, who was the smallest of the alphas.

The shirt fell just past his thighs and fell down one shoulder. Turning to look into the mirror, Tae gaped at the beautiful markings now inscribed into his skin. They were initials, each in a different style, and each a different color.

Tae ran a hand over the visible one's and felt a smile tug at his lips. He'd been so afraid of what he was, of people finding out, and now that they knew...he was accepted by them.

Taehyung felt safe and loved. Still smiling slightly, he walked out of the room and went to the closet in search of some clothes.

He didn't find any. Sighing, he left the room he was in and walked down the hall, following a growing smell of food. God, was he hungry, and when the smell of food hit his nose, his mouth began to water in anticipation.

He entered the kitchen, to find Jin cooking. He ran up to the alpha.

"Princess." Jin kissed the top of his head, causing Tae to blush. "Here." Tae was handed a plate and he eagerly grabbed it muttering g out a small thanks before hopping over to the island and seating himself on the counter.

He dug in and sighed in content at the delicious flavors invading his senses. Tae was so engrossed in his food that he didn't notice the alpha approaching him. He yelped in surprise when large hands wrapped around his waist.

"You seriously need to watch what your wearing. I might attack you." Hoseok whispered into his ear. Tae blushed and looked down, the fork he'd been using stuck in his mouth.

Hoseok reached up and pulled the fork out of Tae's mouth, stabbing a price of food and then eating it himself.

"Hey!" Tae whined childishly. He stole the fork back and moved his plate away from Hoseok, who chuckled, amused.

The room filled with all of the alphas now, as they came downstairs, drawn by the smell of food. Taehyung continued to eat his breakfast happily, until Jungkook approached him with a pill.

"Taehyung, I need you to take this." Taehyung turned to Jungkook and glanced down at the pill. He shook his head.

"Don't need it." He mumbled.

"It's not a pain killer, Taehyung." Jungkook said gently, unsure of whether it would offend the omega or not to ask him to take birth control.

"I know." Taehyung offered a small smile. "I don't need it. I can't have pups anyway." And then he turned back to his food as if he hadn't just dropped a bomb on everybody.

"I'm sorry?" Jungkook asked, shocked. "What do you mean?" Taehyung sighed and set his plate down, stretching slightly. He turned to look around the kitchen, where everyone had stopped to look at him.

"I'll take the pill if you absolutely want me to, Jesus." Taehyung said, grabbing the pill from Jungkook's hand and swallowing it with some water.

"That's not what I meant. What do you mean you can't have pups??"

"It isn't important." Taehyung snapped out. "Besides, judging by the pill and also knowing what you guys do, I'm sure that having kids is one of the the last things you have a need or want for."

"But--"

"Does it have to do with your scars?" Jin asked gently. "Specifically the one on your abdomen?" Taehyung bit the inside of his cheek nervously. He looked away from all of them, refusing to cry.

"So what if it is?" He mumbled sadly. He didn't want to talk about it, it brought up things he never wanted to think about again.

"Baby..." Yoongi wrapped an arm around Taehyung's waist and pulled him close. "We know that it's hard for you, but we have to know. Don't you think we have a right to know?"

And Taehyung thought that this morning would be a nice one. Now all he wanted to do was crawl into a hole and die. He was ashamed of his past, and he thought that all of his alphas would turn in disgust if he told them. He truly was a useless omega. Ugly and scarred, and he had no right to have claimed these six alphas.

Taehyung averted his eyes from Yoongi, who had almost gotten him to talk. "Y-you'll think I'm disgusting." He muttered weakly.

"That's a lie." Namjoon growled.

"We would never think of you in that way."

"Even if you didn't, I wouldn't want you to pity me in any way. And even if you told me you wouldn't, you still would, and you'd never look at me the same. No, I think that being aware that I have no ability to have pups anymore is all you need to know."

A growl ripped through the room and Taehyung whined, fighting his natural instinct to submit. Jimin pushed his way to the front, directly in front of Taehyung and stared at him, straight in the eyes.

"This wouldn't have anything to do with...Daegu...would it?"

First Person POV

I shrank away from Jimin, once again averting my eyes, but he grabbed my chin and forced me to look at him. "You're parents were killed because they tried hiding you. The wrong people found out about you." He deduced.

I closed my eyes and inhaled a shaky breath swatting his hand away. "Y-you know nothing." I whispered.

"Because you won't tell us. Taehyung, love, you have to trust us. We're your mates. We love you." I was too caught up in the bad things to notice the sudden confession Jimin had spoken for all of them.

I looked down and attempted to calm my nerves, although the attempt was basically futile at this point. I looked back up slowly and met Jimin's eyes.

They somehow comforted me as I opened my mouth. "I never considered my birth parents my real parents." I began. "My eomma and appa were in reality, my aunt and uncle. My parents tried selling me off on the black market as soon as they found out I was an omega. You can make quite a fortune selling off a male Omega."

I laughed bitterly, biting my bottom lip at the memory. "My aunt saved me and we ran to Daegu. The...business hadn't been set up yet, and we were just a normal family. Until they came and set up base there. My parents found me as well, and it all spiraled out of control. My biological parents once again sold me off, and my family tried to pack up and run. I remember that day clearly, first it was an alpha, and then two. Then there were about ten alphas cornering us in the living room not ten minutes before we were set to leave.

"They held me down as they cut them up into pieces, a punishment for trying to run. They took me then, before I arrived, I met my birth parents again. They demanded their money, and they instead got bullets to their brains." I sniffled, but no tears fell from my eyes. I couldn't cry about it right now. I wouldn't.

"Taehyung..."

"I got pregnant." I cut off Jimin. "When I was fifteen. When they found out, they weren't happy. They kicked me as many times as they could and then they cut me open and tore them out. They damaged my body so badly, that I couldn't even have pups if I tried."

I paused, trying to regain some of my composure. "I managed to get out, about three years ago. An alpha took pity on me and purposefully left my room unlocked and my restraints a little too loose. I ran until I couldn't, where Hyungsik found me passed out and almost dead in a ditch.

"He helped me to get into the mafia. We decided that it would be the safest option for me, because omegas can't get jobs like these. It goes against our very nature. I acquired some strong suppressants, made sure I was constantly surrounded by betas or Hyungsik, and was extra careful not to slip up at all. My life was...is literally built on lies. I couldn't afford to let the truth out I would be instantly fired, and I wouldn't be protected anymore. I wasn't going to risk being caught and sent back. I would rather kill myself."

I was met with silence after I stopped talking. I sighed and slid off of the counter. Jin tried to stop me, but I shook my head. "I need to be alone right now." I said quietly before exiting the room.

I practically ran to a random room and shut the door, collapsing against the wall. I fell to the ground and let out a choked sob. I curled into a ball and cried. I just sat there and cried.

Cried over how pathetic I was. How pathetic my life was. How weak I was.

Life was cruel. And that's why I pretended to be someone I wasn't. Because after awhile, I could begin to believe that I was actual who I was pretending to be.

But reality hit me on the face with a brick, and the walls I'd managed to build had all come crashing down in the course of twenty minutes. I never should have woken up this morning.

Or maybe I should have just taken the damn pill without saying anything. I hated myself sometimes. No, I always hated myself.

-------------------------------

I don't know how long I stayed locked up in that room. But when I was calm enough to leave, I knew that it had been awhile. It was dark in the hallway and there was no movement.

I was just glad that the others had respected my request to be alone. Even now I doubted that I had the courage or strength to face any of them. Not everyday you tell your whole life story to six alphas. Especially one as sad and depressing as mine.

I walked down the hall and into the kitchen, grabbing an apple before retreating back to the room I'd just exited. But on my way there I ran into Namjoon.

I tried to avoid him, but he pulled me into a hug. "Please don't avoid me." He whispered softly. "It hurts."2

"I'm hurt."

"Let us help you. You don't have to carry this pain all by yourself, kitten. Let us help you." He repeated.

"It's..."

"It's not disgusting and it will never be shameful. You were forced into that, and you were given no choice. The others, nor I could ever look at you in disgust or hatred. You're perfect to all of us, Kitten. So please, don't avoid us, and don't think that were disgusted by you."

"I-I won't." I promised.

------------------------------------------

We were now heading back to Korea. There was still an awkward air about the seven of us, but it was mostly due to the fact that now that the drama was over...the fact that six alphas we're all mated to one omega began to sink in.

Possessiveness became the biggest issue. One alpha would scent me and another would instantly cover it with his own. There were constant standoffs, and it had only been three days. I'd have to deal with this for the rest of my life.

When we landed, Hyungsik was waiting for me. His eyes widened at the sight. "Tae, you're--" he reached for me, but received a warning growl to back off from all of my mates.

I sighed and pushed them away slightly jumping into Hyungsik's arms. "It's okay, Hyungie, they know."

Hyungsik wrinkled his nose. "You smell."

I hit him on the chest, a blush coating my cheeks. "Shut up." I mumbled. I was quickly pulled into a strong chest and I looked up at Jungkook, who was giving Hyungsik a less than friendly look.

"Hyungsik. Are you not working today?"

"I was to pick up Tae today. It was our agreement." Hyungsik said calmly, not phased by my alphas possessiveness.

"No need. Go home." Hyungsik turned to me to make sure it was okay and I nodded. He nodded in return and left, leaving me alone with my alphas.

"Come on baby, let's get you home." I yelped in surprise when I was scooped up into a pair of arms.

I buried my face into Namjoon's neck as he carried me out of the airport. I was placed gently into a car and soon we were driving off. We pulled in front of a large mansion. I stared up at it in wonder, pressing my hands underneath my chin and resting my elbows on the cars window.

We had to drive a ways from the gate to the front entrance, and all the while I just admitted the beauty of the home. When we came to a stop, I got out and looked around.

"Welcome home, baby." Yoongi whispered into my ear. I giggled and snuggled into his embrace. He wrapped his arms around my waist and lifted me up, causing me to squeal in delight.

"God, how can you be so cute!" I heard someone groan. I burst into another bout of giggles. Yoongi took that chance to scent me. By now, I smelled like all of them, and there wasn't really a point, because none stood out more than the other. Needless to say, I smelled like I was taken. Very taken.

We all headed inside and I gasped in delight at the expensively decorated interior. "You all live together?" I asked, looking at Hoseok, who had stolen me from Yoongi. I was being carried by him, my legs wrapped around his waist and my arms around his neck, facing him. He placed a small kiss onto my lips.

"Yes, doll. We all live together. Of course, we all have our own homes and safe houses, but this is generally where we stay." I pouted and looked around.

"I would have moved in sooner had I known you all lived in a mansion." Hoseok chuckled and kissed my forehead once.

"Come on, doll, let's show you to my room."

"Uh, I think the **** not." Someone interrupted. It was Jungkook. "He'll be sleeping with me."1

"Says who?" Jin argued.

"Says your boss." He said flatly.

"Oh **** no. We're all older than you buddy boy. You get the last say." Yoongi haughtily replied.

"Guys~!" I whined. I was getting tired of all of them constantly fighting over me. "I can rotate through all of you if it makes you feel better. But I have a feeling that all of you are busy anyway, so I'll just snuggle with whoever's home at the time."

"Not fair. Jungkook can literally decide to send us out every night then."

"And if he does, I won't cuddle with him." I assured.

"It'll have to work for now until we can figure out a better system." Namjoon sighed out.

"Agreed?" The other alphas eventually agreed to my plan. I smiled and hugged Hoseok, who was still holding me, closer.

"Good! Hoseokie can go first." I cheerfully sang out. Hoseok grinned and ghosted a kiss onto my right ear.

"Thanks, doll. Now shall I show you to my room?"

"Sure. But I'm hungry." I told him. He nodded and we started to move into another room. I found myself in a kitchen and was seated onto a counter.

Hoseok turned and shuffled through everything, looking for something to make me. He eventually just made me an omelet which I assured him was perfectly fine, and ate all of it.

It was pretty late after that. I yawned and stretched, Hoseok picking me up and carrying me to another room. A bedroom. This was his I realized.

"You know I can walk, right?" I mumbled sleepily into his ear.

"Shhh...just relax, doll. Daddy'll take care of you."4

"Daddy?" I asked, tasting the name on my tongue.

"Yes, doll?"

"Nothin' just tired, Daddy." I muttered deciding that I liked the name.4

"We gotta get ready for bed, babydoll." Hoseok placed me onto a bed and helped me to remove my clothes. He gave me an oversized shirt to wear and helped me to slip it on.1

He went and changed for bed as well. When he came back, I snuggled up next to him underneath the covers and closed my eyes, feeling safe and cared for.

The next morning I was entangled with Hoseok when I woke up. My head was buried into his chest and his arms were wrapped securely around my waist.

I yawned and stretched out slightly, only to be pulled back in by Hobi. I giggled and booped his nose playfully. He growled and suddenly I was underneath him. "Daddy!" I squealed as he began to tickle me. "L-let go!" I managed between my giggles.

The smell of breakfast drove us both downstairs. I skipped over to the kitchen and jumped onto the counter, right next to Jin, who was cooking. "Morning Jinnie!" I said happily. He turned from his food and gave me a quick kiss.

"Good morning, princess. Did you sleep well last night?"3

"Mhmm, Hobi's bed is super duper comfortable." I smiled as I swung my legs from the counter.1

Soon enough everyone was in the kitchen and starting to pile up their food onto their plates. Hobi was taking an extra long time and I grew impatient, since I was starving. "Daddy~. Hurry up." I whined. "You take forever!"3

All motion had basically stopped in the kitchen. Hobi turned and scooped me up into his arms, but not before I noticed his smirk aimed at everyone behind us.8

"Sorry, doll. Why don't you just go and sit down and I'll dish you something up?"

"Sure!" I chirped out, hopping out of his embrace and skipped off to the dining room. I sat down on one of the chairs and soon after was presented with a plate full of food. I hummed in content and dug in.

Everyone sat at the table around me and I enjoyed a pleasant breakfast with them. That is, until a man I'd never seen before walked in and whispered something into Jungkook's ear.

"He what?" Jungkook growled out. All motion at the table ceased and we looked at the enraged younger. He slowly stood after a few moments, all anger suddenly wiping off of his face leaving only a cold calm in its wake.

That was more terrifying than anything. "We're going out." He suddenly said lowly. I stood with the others, shooting Jungkook a confused look. He didn't meet my eyes and turned, leaving the room.

"What's wrong?" I asked, turning to Namjoon. He sighed and shook his head, which was followed by a shrug of his shoulders. Meaning he knew as much as I did, which was nothing.

We all made our way to where Jungkook had walked off to, and followed him to his car. I got into Hoseok's and we drove off, following everyone else.

We arrived about twenty minutes later in front of a small and comfortable looking house. It was quiet, and there was no movement on the inside, even though I could clearly see multiple lights on.

We made our way to the house and we were greeted by multiple men in suits. Jungkook's men. Jungkook walked right up to one of the men and punched him across the face. Hard. I could tell that some of them were alphas, but the majority of them were betas.1

These were low level men, and an alphas punch, especially one from one of the strongest around, would hurt like a motherfucker. I could tell that Jungkook was winding up to punch another man, but I placed a hand on his shoulder.

He faltered and looked down at me. "Whatever is wrong won't be fixed if you sit here and punch people." I mumbled quietly. He straightened and nodded, turning to his men.

"Why the **** were you not able to locate them? I was given the impression that these were amateurs."

"We did locate them, but they managed to escape. They shot and injured three of your men. And we didn't feel as if they were amateurs. They knew exactly what they were doing." Jungkook's jaw tightened and I saw his tongue poking at the side of his cheek.

I rubbed a hand over his arm slowly, trying to calm him down a little bit. "But we did manage to tag the van." Another man offered.

"Well, at least you aren't completely useless." He snorted. I sighed, confused. I needed to know what was going on. And whatever had happened, had most likely gone down in the house in front of me.

I walked towards the house and entered slowly, looking around. What I found was disgusting. A whole entire family, slaughtered. I wrinkled my nose at the stench and looks around, avoiding the blood splattered everywhere the best I could.

I found a family picture and studied the family. Betas. And one omega. My eyebrows suddenly furrowed together and in whipped around, surveying the dead family once again.

Namjoon and Jungkook came in as realization dawned on me. "They came for the omega." I said slowly, piecing it together. "It was a mafia family, who had your protection for the daughter. Someone took the omega, and now..." I fell silent and closed my eyes, inhaling slowly.

"Hey..." Jungkook came over and wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me into a brief hug.

"I can't stand this." I said, bitterness building its way into my voice. "People thinking that they can just do this shit and get away with it."

"Darling, I'm trying to stop this. This...this is why I added you to my team, really. Your file said you were from Daegu, and I need someone smart and capable enough to take then down. I don't condone this behavior, and I never will. I may run a mafia but this isn't right, and it never will be." I nodded into his chest.

"If you really need me to help you....I will."

"Thank you, Tae baby. If you ever need to take a break or pull out from the project, please don't be afraid to tell me. I won't force you to do anything."

"I know. Thank you, Kookie." I tilted my head up and gave him quick peck on the lips. "I'll have everything for you. And I'll take down Kai for you."

"Here." I accepted the file that Jimin handed me and curled further into his lap as I opened it. One of his hands rested comfortingly on my waist. "You don't have to look at it if you don't want to, love." He whispered softly into my ear.

"Who else is gonna have their life ruined if I'm not willing to help take this operation down?" I muttered. I looked closely at the files and found the first page to be a list of victims. I read all of their names. All of the family members who had been killed. How old they were.

"Baby, you're stressing." Yoongi walked in gave me a pat on the head. "What's wrong?"

"I feel responsible for this." I muttered.

"You're not."

"I had plenty of opportunities to take on this case while I was still working in the planning department. This could have been solved long before now."

"None of us are blaming you for not wanting to take on this case, love. We know it's difficult for you." I bit my bottom lip, shaking my head.

"I could've killed him." I muttered.

"Killed who?" I sighed and looked up slowly.

"You haven't thought about it?"

"Thought about what?"

"How do you think I'm here right now? Do you think that they just let me go? Let me walk out?"

"I know that they sometimes let omegas go when they aren't of any use to them anymore. Sometimes they throw them out when they become pregnant—" Jimin stopped talking, thinking back on what I had told them before.

"I'm a male omega. It was different for me." I whispered softly. "It would've been easier had I been female."

"Is that why they killed your pups? Because you were male?"

"Their policy was that if an omega became pregnant, then they would kick them out. Even they had rules that they had to abide by under their superiors. But in my district...instead of following the rules, they made their own." I leaned further into Jimin. "I acquired a gun, at some point after my door was unlocked and my bonds loosened. I had the chance to kill the head. I didn't take it, and now he's making more and more omegas suffer."

"You've met the head?" I laughed a little bitterly.

"How could I not have? The pups were his."

Third Person POV

Jungkook was working in his office when Jimin and Yoongi suddenly entered. "Yes?"

"Taehyung knows who the head is."

"He does?"

"He was his pet." Jimin spat out. "That motherfucker claimed Taehyung as his." Jungkook blanked for a moment, blinking.

"I see." Jungkook stood from his seat. "Did he tell you where he was?"

"We didn't want to push him. But we did get a name. A foreigner. Gabriel Heln. We found out that he's going to a gala tonight in the city, but we don't know what he looks like. We wanted to bring Tae with us to identify him."

"We agreed not to take him on any more missions. It's too dangerous."

"I know, but Taehyung is insisting. I don't think he'll let this drop."

"Unless, Of course, you want to be his least favorite alpha, then go ahead and—" Jungkook cut Jimin off with a growl, wiping the sly smirk off of his face.

"Wouldn't you like that?" His eyes hardened, and he refused to back down.

"Hey!" Yoongi snapped. "Now isn't the time for some territorial bullshit! Our omega is on the brink of having a meltdown, and this isn't helping."

Jungkook sighed, but stepped away. "Fine, I will allow for him to go and point out the target. But only point him out. After that he goes straight back home. And all of us will be there. Plus another twenty men."

"I totally agree."

"Tonight?"

"Tonight."

"Then let's get this motherfucker."

---------------------------------------

The six alphas surrounded their omega protectively. They all hated how they couldn't smell him anymore, either. It set them off. But they all knew that it was necessary. Nobody could smell what Taehyung truly was, it would blow the operation.

Taehyung uncomfortably moved beside Namjoon, who had his hand whisked around his waist. "If we're all seen together, he'll bolt." He muttered.

"But—"

"I know you're being protective of me, but please, this won't work if six of the strongest alphas in the country plus twenty others are all hovering over me. Everyone will know something is up and then there won't be any point in me coming here."

They all hesitantly agreed and Taehyung, after a long and intense glaring contest, was left with Jin.

They entered the hall and Taehyung looked around, trying to locate the man he was here to find. His old master's right hand man. Jin led him to the bar and ordered them a drink. "I normally wouldn't allow this, but I think we all need this tonight." He offered Taehyung a drink, which the omega took gratefully, downing it in one go.

"There." He suddenly said, setting the glass down on the counter. He pointed out a man who stood out from the crowd. He had bright blonde hair and striking green eyes. His face was set in a permanent scowl.

The man suddenly turned, locking eyes with Taehyung. The omega panicked and hid behind his alpha, who immediately sensed that something was wrong. Gabriel, having spotted his bosses old pet, smiled wickedly, as everything began to fall into place.

Suddenly, the lights in the room went out. Panicked, Taehyung latched onto Jin's shirt, not letting go. That is, until someone yanked him away. He cried out in fright, Jin whirling around, trying to spot his mate. "Princess!" He called.

"Jinnie! Help me!" But Taehyung's cries were muffled. His pleas were useless. He struggled to get away, but something stuck over his mouth and nose, and then...everything went black.
