Chapter Twelve

Taehyung's breath hitched in awe as he stared at himself in the mirror. It was quite early, maybe six thirty, and Taehyung had gotten up early to prepare for his first class as a teacher.

He was still in awe at the color of his hair, turned from a soft chocolate to a fiery red. Red was certainly his color.

His bright hair was matched with a loose white shirt and a silk white tie, with black slacks that fit his legs perfectly, shaping the outline of his curves with breathtaking precision.

His lips were pursed into a thin line, eyes cat-like and sharp as he stared at himself in the mirror.

In a way, he felt like he was truly a deity, but his own kind. He was nothing like his parents, nothing like the other Greek gods. He was beautiful.

Jungkook's arms wrapped around Taehyung's waist, the werewolf gently kissing at Taehyung's neck, obviously still half asleep.

"No one can touch you when I'm not around," he muttered softly, a deep, possessive growl rumbling in his throat.

The Olympian could only let out a soft whimper, throwing his head back in pleasure as Jungkook sucked and bit at his tanned skin, marking him with hickeys.

Taehyung could do nothing but whimper and moan for Jungkook, seen as the wolf had total control over what Taehyung would feel when their skin connected.

He was still adjusting to the mark, after all.

"J-Junkoo-k, I-I nee-d to- mm- g-go,"

The werewolf only tightened his grip on Taehyung, marking the other side of the Olympian's neck.

Taehyung's knees were locked, trying to hold himself up, despite his body feeling like Jello. His hands curled around Jungkook's, eyes squeezed shut while he bit down on his lips, trying to hold in his embarrassing noises.

Finally, Jungkook pulled back, licking over the hickeys, and finally, sucking softly on the mate mark engraved in Taehyung's golden skin before backing away some, admiring Taehyung's neck through the mirror.

The Olympian panted softly, eyes raking over the marks of purple and brown across his neck, keening at how Jungkook had claimed him.

"Kook... I.. I-I really need to go, I can't be late.."

As much as Taehyung hated it, his healing abilities kicked in, and the hickeys slowly healed, leaving his flesh golden and pure.

Jungkook let out a soft sigh before releasing Taehyung, turning the redhead around and connecting their lips in a brief kiss.

"Go to your first class, baby. If you need me, link me. I'll go to you."

The Olympian smiled gently, hands cupping the werewolf's face before he stepped away, grabbing his bag with all of his lesson plans in it before leaving the dorm, heading to the common classed building.

With a deep sigh, Taehyung put on his mask, letting his eyes blaze a bright electric blue as he strode through the hallways, students clearing a path for him in silence as he walked.

When he finally made it to his classroom, the bell rang shrilly through the school, causing the students to groan in annoyance, before continuing whatever they were doing.

He slammed the door shut, and growled lowly, demanding the attention of every student.

"In your seats, now. I want every one of you to sit properly and pay attention."

And every student obeyed. Taehyung's blazing eyes had set a stone of intimidation and fear through every student, full well knowing just how dangerous the Olympian was.

"You all know what I am. You know my name, however, you do not know me. You can call me Mr. Kim. I recommend that for your own safety, you stick to the honorific when addressing me."

"I am a Greek God, and I am thousands of years older than every one of you. I have had more than enough time to hone and master my abilities. I am here to help all of you do the same."

Taehyung set down his bag at his desk, and then looked at every student, his eyes softening to their natural brown.

"I am here to help nurture every one of you. Just because you are not in advanced classes does not mean you hold less talent."

"It means that you have not honed any of your skills, your powers, to the best of your abilities. I'm here to make that happen."

Taehyung sighed softly before placing his hands behind his back, and walking slowly through the room, analyzing every student.

"You all know that I was enrolled as a student. However, an old friend of mine by the name of Andreas realized the benefits of someone like me helping beings like all of you."

"And Ms. Jeong realized the potential as well, so here I am. I will not tolerate disrespect, I will not tolerate fighting unless it is for training purposes, I will not tolerate slacking off or giving up."

"You are here because this is a place where many different races can peacefully gather together. You can feel like you belong when you are here. And all of you have potential within you to not only become stronger, but strengthen the bonds you have with those around you."

Taehyung stopped back at the front of the classroom, his eyes going back to the same electric blue.

"Class begins now, and so does your training."

He walked up to the whiteboard, and wrote down three races, placing a line below them.

"Who can give me the qualities of these three races? It doesn't have to be anything significant. It can be little quirks that you may have noticed or read about."

At the beginning, most people didn't raise their hand, but soon enough, all the students were engaged, dropping facts and details about Vampires, Werewolves, and Druids.

By lunch break, Taehyung felt proud of himself and of his students. They were all working hard, taking notes, and engaging.

As soon as everyone left the classroom, Taehyung sat down in his chair, and closed his eyes, opening the link with Jungkook.

Jungkook? Are you busy right now?

Not at all, love. I'm at the training grounds. Come find me.

I will!

The Olympian sprung up from his place, and raced to where Jungkook was, immediately throwing his arms around the werewolf, tucking his face into his (Jungkook's) neck.

"I missed you.."

Taehyung whispered softly, sighing happily when Jungkook hugged him close, kissing the top of his head lovingly.

"I missed you too, Tae. How did your first class go?"

Taehyung pulled back a bit, lips forming a box shape as he grinned happily.

"Great! They all listened, and I got them engaged! I think I just might be a natural at this!"

Jungkook laughed softly, leaning in a bit, connecting their lips in a sweet, soft kiss. It didn't last long, but the kiss was just what Taehyung needed.

His skin tingled at the contact, the mark embedded into his neck coming alive with warmth as Jungkook gently brushed his fingers over it.

"Unfortunately, I have to get back to class, I need to focus. Can you wait out the day?"

Taehyung hummed softly, eyebrows scrunching as he considered Jungkook's words. Quickly, he leaned up, stealing another kiss, this one much more intimate than the last before backing away.

"I'll see you later, Kookie!"

And with that, Taehyung took off, making his way back to his classroom for the next lesson.
