"test me."
Jimin was moving already into his wolf form, to watch him transform was something he had never seen, man to mist to wolf. His blue suit was left on the dirt path and replaced by his silver blue coat and grey eyes. He was the biggest wolf Yoongi had ever seen, even bigger than RM who he had admired for years.
He circled him, as he transformed. His black wolf felt so small when he looked up at Jimin, who was already circling. He looked at him and stayed low, then pounced. Jimin dodged to the side with a smirk, how can a wolf even smirk? Yoongi thought and that moment of distraction cost him as Jimin lurched forward and hit his front paw. He cut into his ankle and Yoongi cried taking a step back. Jimin looked at him, a flash of concern in his grey eyes.
But Yoongi began to circle again, with a slight limp, trying to shrug off the injury. He pounced, feeling the wind pass his ears, but Jimin was too fast catching him underneath and turning him over. He pinned him, stopping him from standing.
Yoongi realized there was nothing he could do and transformed back, admitting defeat and losing this sparing match. Jimin did the same, transforming he kept Yoongi's arms pinned above him and looked into his eyes. Surprisingly the teasing attitude and then the aggression had left his face, he looked at Yoongi now with only sadness.
"How will you survive as a Alpha if you cannot beat me." He said in disappointment.
Yoongi looked away, with tears welling in his eyes.
But Jimin just pulled on his injured hand bringing it closer for inspection.
"I'm sorry Yoongi, I never meant to really hurt you but you need to get stronger. To earn the respect of the pack and my respect." He still pinned him looking down at his face which was turned away.
"I am strong enough. But I don't want to fight you seriously Jimin, not ever."
Jimin leant him a hand up as he stood but shook his head sadly. "They can take care of that at the palace." He said, not taking his eyes off the scratch marks. And as they continued along the path Jimin silently put a hand on his back. Yoongi glanced to the side for a moment of eye contact then quickly looked away blushing. But when he looked back he saw Jimin smiling, looking forward at the path.
"I'm not going to go easy on you... even if you refuse to fight me seriously."
"I know." Yoongi said, taking a step to the side. Just a bit closer to the disconnected Alpha.
"You know, I know."
Arriving at the palace, it struck him how little he knew about the royal family. The castle was a large mansion, made of cobblestone and with a huge garden. Victorian and Classic, it had also aged like a fine wine, unlike the part of town Yoongi stayed in which seemed to be at war with the forest creeping over it, the house embraced the wildflowers and vines which climbed it. It was huge, but nothing like the castle he had envisioned.
Standing leaning by the huge wooden doors was a man with purple and black hair and bright purple eyes. Yoongi would have realized he was a prince even without the golden crown on his head, it was the way he stood. Demanding attention and change, Yoongi could already see why he had been such a promising candidate to be a Alpha and for the first time he could believe the rumor's that Namjoon had stepped back from the competition for the crown over fear, rather than pacifism.
As Jimin and Yoongi walked through the gate and by instinct Yoongi found himself taking a step forward to greet him, but that instinct was soon shut down, as he bumped into Jimin's shoulder. He had stepped in front of him blocking the Princes path.
Jungkook did not seem to care much, he smiled at Jimin, before leaning his head to the side.
"Well if it isn't the handsome new Alpha." Jimin growled from the back of his throat and Yoongi took a moment to appreciate that Jungkook was able to flirt with him and insult Jimin at the same time, and with tact.
"He needs a healer, he was injured sparing."
"Ohhh with who?" Jungkook asked with the most innocent voice imaginable. Jimin looked towards Yoongi who smiled.
"It doesn't matter... Its an honor to meet you, your highness."
"Please my father is the Alpha, and soon I will be engaged to one." He said with swagger. "So please call me Kook." He added with a wink.
"It's good to see that arrogance never fades." Jimin interrupted
Jungkook faked a deep pout, "and neither does insolence." He teased back with another wink. Jimin's face went red but whether it was from a blush or anger, Yoongi couldn't tell.
"I will give Yoongi the tour, you can go back and take a nap babe." The prince teased Jimin again.
Jimin glared as he walked away, but Jungkook only looked at Yoongi with a smile. The Prince leaned in close and whispered to Yoongi.
"Don't worry, I'm a bit of a flirt I'll confess, but a true prince only ever keeps their eye on one wolf at a time."
And he was looking at Yoongi.
