Yoongi's POV:
"You're just a useless Beta anyways."
I tensed and I could see Jimin was feeling the same way, Lucas has exceeded the limit.
When I was about to stand up and defend him, he was quicker than me an answered, "Well, this useless Beta is gonna stop this marriage anyways."
Oh.
I stared at him with confusion, wondering what he's talking about.
"You know why?" he smirked. "Because this man over here." he just pointed at me.
I gulped because his eyes were piercing mine, his stare was different, not because his eyes shifted to yellow but he seemed very serious and angry. "Is my f*****g mate."
Holy f*****g s**t.
I just felt like there was a big explosion inside my chest. Am I dreaming? Have I heard it well?
The Jimin who has been ignoring all my attempts to get closer to him, the one who first opposed our mating, the guy who admitted he hated Alphas just confirmed that he is my mate and that I am his.
"Y-your WHAT?!" Lucas looked more surprised than me. "What the hell is he saying Yoongi?!"
Jimin broke our eye contact, he seemed like he wanted to add something more but he just kept silent and left the hall.
"Yoongi! I'm talking to you!" Lucas shook my body. "He's joking, right?"
"No." I simply answered, my eyes not leaving Jimin who disappeared little by little from my view. "He's my mate."
"Ah!" Lucas raised his hands while shouting like crazy and then sat on the chair. "How is it possible?" he mumbled. "H-he can't be your mate Yoongi!"
"Why not?" I furrowed. "Is there any problem?"
"He's your servant, he's a Beta!"
"So what?" I asked coldly. "What's wrong with being a Beta? What's wrong with him?!"
"Did you forget your father's rules?" he furrowed. "An Alpha leader should marry another Alpha, that's simple."
I rolled my eyes. "Those were his rules, now I got mine." I said. "And you know it like me Lucas, we are wolves, we are destined to live the rest of our life with our mate. Alpha, Beta or Omega don't matter as long as you are mates."
He frowned. "Still Yoongi..you're a leader, you need a strong Alpha by your side, you need me."
"Lucas." I sat in front of him. "We're not mates, believe it or not. I don't feel anything when I'm with you." I decided to be honest, they say that the truth hurts but it better hurts you know than kill you after.
He bit his lower lip in order not to cry in front of me. "D-do you feel something for him?" he asked.
I slowly shook my head. "I do."
He chuckled. "Can't believe it." he shook his head. "You never had feelings for anyone Yoongi, it never happened. You're cold hearted, everyone know this."
Because no ones really knows me.
"You think you have feelings for him but that's just because he's your mate. If he wasn't I'm sure you wouldn't even look at him."
I used to think the same, that I am attracted to him only because of our connection but when I think about it, I was curious about him since the day he arrived here. We argued a lot but I wanted to know more about him.
"It's not just because of this Lucas." I said.
"So what? You really like him?!" he widened his eyes.
I got up. "Let's not talk about this now." I rubbed the back of my neck.
"Where are you going?" He asked. "To see him?"
I nodded.
"Yoongi don't go to him." he stood up and grabbed my arm. "Please."
"I need to go." I whispered and left him shouting my name.

I looked for Jimin inside the mansion but he wasn't here. A maid told me she's seen him walking to the garden so I ran outside, trying to catch his delicious scent.
I found him standing in front of the red roses, his arms crossed and his thoughts were travelling somewhere.
I approached and stood next to him. "Hey." I said, hoping for an answer.
"I don't wanna see you." he mumbled coldly.
I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair. "Jimin, I didn't tell him because I thought you wouldn't like it." I said.
He frowned. "What?"
"Don't you remember when you told me that you don't wanna be my mate? Well, I thought you didn't like the idea.. That's why I didn't tell him even thought I was dying to say so."
He just nodded and put his hand in his jeans' pockets.
"Were you.. jealous?" I asked, trying not to smile too much.
"The fuxk?" he furrowed. "Why would I be jealous?"
"Well.. you just told him that I'm your mate after he spoke about marriage."
He shrugged.
"So.. do you see me as your mate now?" I asked.
"Don't know." he mumbled.
I sighed. "Look.. I know that you hate Alphas because of what happened in the past but.." I turned to face him, to look at his eyes. "I'm not like this." I said. "I never hurt anyone, I swear. I don't know who's the asshole who did that but we aren't monsters, we are just wolves like you."
At a moment, I thought he finally believed me when he looked at me with soft eyes. I thought he finally understood that I would never hurt, that he can trust me but he suddenly shook his head and got away from me.
"Do you hate me that much?!" I shouted, seeing him getting further.
He stopped. "No.. I d-" he ran his fingers through his golden hair and turned towards me. "When you do this.." he sighed, his eyes getting watery. "When you do this.. I hate you less."
My heart was beating with the speed of light. "Isn't.. isn't it good?" I tried to smile.
"No!" he screamed and went to sit on a bench.
I bit my lip and followed him. I sat next to him and kept silent while he was organising his thoughts.
"How was she?" I asked quietly.
He furrowed.
"Your mother."
He stared at me with sad eyes then he just looked at the ground. "She was everything I had." he smiled. "I only had her and my brother in my life, they were my only family." he sighed. "We were the happiest wolves that ever existed. We would cook together, dance, sing and jump like crazy." he chuckled like he was living those moments again. "She wasn't just a mother, she was like our best friend, she would hang out with our friends and organise small parties in our house. She bought us a lot of gifts and she took care of us like no one couldn't ever do." he wiped a tear with his shirt's sleeve. "She was a very strong woman, she wasn't in need of a male to advance in her life, she was independent and I wanted to be like her, she was my role model. She was the one who trained us, my brother and I, she taught us not to be scared of anything and to never lose our pride."
I sighed and offered him my handkerchief to wipe his tears. "Looking at you and your brother, I must guess she was a beautiful woman."
He nodded with a smile. "She was gorgeous."
"Do you.. have a picture of her? Can I see it?"
He scoffed. "Well thanks to someone I left all my belongings at home and I won't have the chance to see them anymore.."
"I wasn't the one to bring you here." I rolled my eyes.
We stayed silent for a long moment, just staring at the flowers moving with the gentle wind.
"Do you..miss home?" I asked.
"Mm." he nodded. "I do sometimes.."
I sighed and smiled, enjoying to feel him next to me. "You know.. it's my birthday." I said.
"Today?" he furrowed.
"Mm." I nodded. "I don't know how I remembered to be honest." I chuckled. "I never cared about my birthday before."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" he asked.
"I thought you wouldn't care to know.."
"Yoongi." my name sounded like paradise to my ears, I wished I could always hear him calling me with his sweet voice.
I turned to look at him and he gave me a small smile. "Happy birthday." he whispered.
I couldn't help smiling back to him. "Thank you."
"What would you like as a gift? Do you like cakes?" he asked.
"I love cakes." I answered, not taking my eyes of his beautiful face. "Will you make it for me?"
He nodded.
"I have something to do right now, I'll come back in the afternoon okay?" I said.
"Okay."
