By the time Hyorin ended her story....the Mirawikians were in tears... drowning in their own guilt for blaming and hating Jungkook all these years...they even apologized then and there to the alpha who accepted it and forgave them with his whole heart

But the moment was short lived when Taehyung stepped forward...a calm smile on his face ' Since you all know the truth...there is something else we need to inform you all...and more than informing you all..what we need is your support'

Taehyung saw the frowning gazes aimed towards him 'Before we talk about the matters at hand...you all should know that I am now standing in front of you.. talking to you... as Jungkook's mate...as the King of Mirawik who will go any extend to protect his family and Kingdom....and I hope you all will trust and support us when I say that on the day Prince Jimin turns 24 Mirawik will take over Alwarak.... making Kim Junghyun pay for all his sins... which is in two days'

The whole chamber fell silent...no sounds to be heard..not even the heavy breaths of the Royals..nor the loud thoughts of the Mirawikians...which Taehyung took as his cue to continue

' King Junghyun might be my biological father..but I was raised by Kim Jaewan...my maternal uncle and my Yoongi hyung...the eldest Prince of Mirawik.... All these years I had forgiven every action of his..which were deliberately done to hurt me..but Kim Junghyun broke the last string to my patience when he dared harm my brothers...'

Jungkook held Taehyung's hand when he saw his hands shaking.... Taehyung took in a shaky breath as he let Jungkook continue ' As the King of Mirawik....We need each one of your's support to win this war....as someone once had said..The foundation of a happy kingdom lies in the trust between its citizens and the trust between the citizens depends on the love between their alpha and luna... If they see their Alpha and Luna happy with each other...they can foresee a future full of happiness... And am sure you all can see it crystal clearly how much in love your Alpha and luna are...and now we need your support to build a happy future.... A war is never peaceful....be it the winning kingdom or the loosing one...there will always be a loss...loss of lives...houses...but sometimes ending evil is more important than the loss of lives and habitat... This all may seem cruel to you all....but I hope we will be understood by you all one day'

' Alpha' Someone from the crown spoke up ' All these years we have blamed you for everything... held you responsible for every death...every disaster... without even thinking that...you too have a heart that we all once loved..... And you forgiving all of us in a instant just makes us hang our head in shame for all the cruelties we have shown towards you.... No king has ever asked their subjects for their consent in war... No Luna has ever fought for their kingdom and alpha.... No kingdom has ever happily agreed to a war..but we Mirawikians are changing History from the day we got two kings....'

Taehyung's grip over Jungkook tightened as the man continued

'The war will start as you all have decided...and every abled Mirawikian will be there to end the evil along side you...'

Loud cheers were followed as the crowd hailed for their kings...a warm smile on the royals face..yet deep down they all held the same fear....

The fear of their uncertain future

🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱

All of them were back to the royal Library after the gathering.... The royals being totally happy about their subjects...as they talked about it while waiting for Taehyung and Yoongi to come...so that Hobi could let them know of something important

' Whatever it is....am really happy today...' Jin smiled widely....'My whole family is back together...and I can't ask for more'

Jungkook smiled softly at his hyung... trying his best to hide the slowly forming storm in his mind

' Where are they? Tae hyung usually don't get late for things like this' Jimin mumbled

' He is with your dear mate... Ofcourse they would have lost track of time and would be rushing here.... When it comes to Tae... Yoongi is nothing less than a soft Marshmello who would melt at those puppy eyes of our luna' Namjoon said laughing

' Can't blame hyung.... That puppy eyes really does the magic' Hobi said sighing making everyone laugh

🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱

' Now we are going to be officially dead...Hobi hyung doesn't like it when we get late during times this serious' Taehyung rambled as he walked fast with Yoongi trailing behind him

' Oh come on Tae...you are the Luna... you shouldn't be scared of Hobi..' Yoongi chuckled

' Don't you dare laugh' Taehyung glared at him cutely 'Me being the Luna doesn't mean that I can stop respecting my hyungs'

Yoongi smiled proudly hearing that I did raise him well

' Also...we are late because of you' Taehyung huffed

' Because of me??' Yoongi's said exasperated ' Care to remind me who was rambling about his alpha like the whipped omega he is?'

Taehyung's cheeks heated up ' I wa-'

' Kim Taehyung'

Both Taehyung and Yoongi stopped on hearing the voice from behind

Taehyung sighed..he knew this voice... ' Areum' He whispered turning around making Yoongi frown

' What do you want? And how are you still in the palace...' Taehyung asked growing irritated by the second

' I have my means... Luna' Areum tilted her head...a sly smile adorning her face

Yoongi had his concerned gaze fixed onto Taehyung when

' Prince Yeongmin' Areum called ' We all are happy to welcome you back to Mirawik.... Jungkook was so broken all these years...but now that he got you am sure he will start living a life of his own... instead being some omega's puppet'

' Thanks..' Yoongi spoke up... smiling sweetly taking Taehyung off guard ' Miss whatever your name is...I would suggest you to have a reality check asap...I mean... Every single soul in Mirawik understood till now what Jungkook is...and how his life is...and as far as I know my brother...he is very happy being his Omega's puppet as you like to call it... Also...Its Yoongi now...not Yeongmin'

Ok... everything apart.. but if anyone dares to even raise a finger at Taehyung..Yoongi will make sure that the person won't breath the same air as his brother ever

Areum disfunctioned for a second hearing the mockery in Yoongi's voice

' Oh come on hyung..She is really bad with names' Taehyung chuckled ' I mean...she still calls me a Kim...' He shrugged

' Taehyung' Areum called ' No matter how much you try... I'll make Sure that you will be thrown out of my Jungkook's life'

Taehyung was quick to hold onto Yoongi when he saw the elder's eyes darkening

' Areum.... Am done arguing with your delusional self' Taehyung sighed ' Do whatever you want... however you want..but at the end of the day.. I'll be back in my alpha's arms and no...am not saying all this to rile you up or anything.. it's just that I trust the depth of my and Jungkook's relationship and you also better accept it before it's too late'

' It's already late Taehyung' Areum's voice dropped ' The moment you marked Jungkook...You invited your own death....'

Taehyung frowned seeing the way Areum's eyes were turning a shade of dark purple

' And far is not the day when you will die at your mate's hands...the same hands that holds you close...the same hands that makes you feel safe..He will betray you Taehyung...he will break you again...will give you the biggest betrayal ever....he will hurt more than anyone...more than King Junghyun and...I'll make sure that you will live the most heartbreaking fairy tale with your Alpha-'

' Guards!!' Yoongi's loud voice was heard making everyone flinch ' Drag this filthy creature out of the palace and make sure she never steps back in here!!'

Guards came rushing near... taking a hold of Areum who was thrashing in their hold ' Jeon Yeongmin!! You can't shut me up like this... Whatever I told is the truth... Jungkook was with me yesterday night...he told me everything...he will betray you Taehyung..he will betray you'

Taehyung stared wide eyed at the scene as the guards dragged the girl out but her screams were still echoing through the walls...the screams claiming that his Jungkook would betray him...again

Taehyung was pulled out of his trance by a harsh grip around his wrist before he was dragged forward

' Hyung?' Taehyung breathed out as Yoongi dragged him with him to god knows where...but deep down he knew what's going to happen and the thought alone scared him.... Areum's words were already harsh enough that unknowingly his eyes brimmed with tears which unfortunately Yoongi did notice ' Hyung please listen to me-it hurts hyung..plea-'

'Yoongi hyung!!'

🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱

' We must inform Eunwoo too...he will be needed to help the wounded soldiers' Jin said as Jungkook nodded

' Right... I'll send for him tomorrow...and-' Jungkook stopped midsentence when he heard a cry

'Hyung please listen to me'

' Tae?' Namjoon frowned standing up..the rest of them following when the door slammed open as Yoongi dashed in...a crying Taehyung behind him as he pulled him in swiftly.. leaving his hand making him stumble into Jungkook arms who was quick to hold him

' Yoongi hyung!!'

Jungkook's voice hardened as he wrapped his arms around his Taehyung....his eyes traveling back to the moist once of the omega whose lips wobbled

' What's going on?' Jin asked confused seeing the anger in Yoongi's eyes and the fear in Taehyung's face

' Jungkook ' Yoongi called ' Who is Areum?'

Jimin saw the way every movement of Jungkook stilled...as the alpha king's arms around Taehyung loosened

' Koo' Taehyung held on to him before turning towards Yoongi ' Hyung she is no one...let her be-'

' Can't!' Yoongi yelled making him flinch badly ' What did she mean when she said that you were with her yesterday night Jungkook.... You were supposed to be in the training grounds as you told us'

' Hyung...' Namjoon voiced out ' Areum is just obsessed with Kook...she is just spilling non sense...'

' Yes hyung' Taehyung spoke up wiping off his tears.      ' She has always been like that... don't worry..she was lying-'

' No'

All eyes turned towards Jungkook as he took a step back

Taehyung looked down at his hands..that was in Jungkook's hold a while ago

' Koo-'

' I spent the night with her' Jungkook revealed looking straight at Taehyung whose brows creased

' What do you mean Jungkook' Jimin's voice hardened... Jungkook closed his eyes...Jimin dropped the title...he didn't call him hyung.. ' Am asking you something'

' Don't you understand what it means to spend the night with someone?' Jungkook asked nonchalantly 'What she said was true...I was with her the whole night and I would do that again if needed-'

A loud slap echoed through the walls as Jungkook hissed in pain... closing his eyes but before he could react...a pair of arms were wrapped around his collar pulling him forward harshly....

Jungkook opened his eyes only to be met with the hurt filled face of his love....his own chest clenching in pain

' Enough Koo' Taehyung's voice wavered ' Why do you always have to do this?'

' What?' Jungkook asked trying to keep the facade on

'Stop taking all the blame on yourself.... You don't deserve all this..' Taehyung's voice broke...tears leaving his eyes..

Jungkook took in a shaky breath ' Taehyung.... Am telling the truth.... I was with her-'

Jungkook stilled when Taehyung hugged him ' You might have been with her the whole night but I know that you did nothing to cheat me....'

' Taehyung'

' We are mates Jungkook...we carry each other's mark...we feel each other through the mark...If you ever even touch someone inappropriately then my mark would have burnt... No matter what I am...my wolf is still an omega... and an omega wolf dies the moment their alpha betrays them...I would have been dead-'

' Don't' Jungkook stopped him ' Don't complete that please'

' Am here Koo.... breathing and alive' Taehyung said caressing his back ' And I trust you more than anyone here...Even if we weren't marked I would have still trusted you...your omega is so full of himself that he knows how whipped you are...'

'Perks of being a Jeon I guess' Jungkook mumbled making Taehyung chuckle

' Why were you with her?' Yoongi asked breaking the small moment between the mates

'I can't tell you that now' Jungkook saw the hurt flashing in Taehyung's eyes before he masked it with a soft smile.... ' Just know that I didn't cheat on my Luna...I have never touched nor loved anyone other than my Taehyung'

'Wh-'

'Hyung...its fine' Taehyung stopped Yoongi... ' Leave all this...we have a war in a day and you all are fighting for nothing.... Hobi hyung...you wanted to discuss something important right..'

' About that' Hobi sighed ' The secrets of every form of life on this land are enclosed in books.... Books that tells how life evolved..how it will grow...and the principles that guide it... Similarly The secrets of the world of witches and warlocks are enclosed in two books...The book of Mirrors and The Book of shadows'

' The book of Mirrors contains every basic behavior a witch or warlock should hold...how they should be...how they should lead their lives... along with the chants..spells and rituals but the book of shadows...it contains the dark world...the world of destruction... If the one possessing it isn't of the best of hearts then it won't take long for them to end this world'

' Why are you talking about all these now?' Namjoon frowned

' To win this war...we need this book...The book of shadows that was stolen from the Coven of the Supremes Witch and Warlock...by Akari' Hobi revealed

' What are you talking about Hoba?' Jin's eyes widened ' How are we going to get it?'

' Its in Alwarak...in the royal Library' Hobi said

' Royal Library? Then why haven't I ever noticed it there?' Taehyung tilted his head ' Half of my life was spent in between those shelves then how did I miss something like that?'

' It's hidden.... it's hidden by the king of Alwarak through magic...black magic...invisible to common eyes' Hobi shrugged

' Then how are you going to get it back?' Yoongi asked

' Not me...You' Hobi smiled

' Me?'

' Yes Prince Yoongi...you are going to retrieve it back from Alwarak'

' He is going no where' Jimin stepped in 'Do whatever you want but my mate is not going to Alwarak'

' Jimin ah relax' Yoongi held his hand

'No hyung...Jimin is right' Jungkook said ' I just...we just got you back and am not sending you back there again!'

' Jungkook' Yoongi sighed.. ' If Hobi said that it's me who can do this..then there might be a reason behind it... Right Hoba?'

' There is....and You will be taking Namjoon with you' Hobi looked at Joon who had a known smile.

' When should we leave?' Namjoon asked

' The sooner..the better' Hobi replied

' Let's leave in an hour then' Yoongi said nodding

' Hyung...' Both Jimin and Jungkook called together
' Please'

' Come on... don't be like this now' Yoongi smiled lovingly at his brother and mate ' Your Yoongi hyung is strong you know..also Joon is with me... His brains are needed for this mission'

Namjoon just rolled his eyes playfully ' I promise to bring him back safely'

Jungkook and Jimin shared a concerned look... contemplating what to do...they both glanced at Jin whose eyes were fixed onto Taehyung

Taehyung smiled softly as he stepped forward.... extending his hand for both Yoongi and Namjoon to hold

' Promise to come back safely to us hyungs' Taehyung smiled...his eyes glowing a bit...

Everyone had their gazes fixed onto the trio that they missed the patterns that emerged on Taehyung's arms creeping up onto Namjoon and Yoongi's hands.. before disappearing as if being absorbed into the skin

' Promise Taetae' Both Namjoon and Yoongi said together chuckling

Hobi sighed...a sad smile on his face as he looked at the trio who were now smiling...which didn't go unnoticed by Jungkook...worsening the fear in him

' So it's fixed.... Namjoon and Yoongi will be leaving in an hour...what about the rest of us... what's our role?' Jin asked

' Jin hyung...you.. along with Yeonjun will make sure that the military is all set....and Soobin you check the borders...in the battlefield you three will be guiding the soldiers.....with Soobin and Jin among the others..while Yeonjun you will have to make sure the nursery and the omegas are safe in the pack house..Eomma will be there with you too' Jungkook explained the division

' Jiminie will be in the eastern border... along with the military head Jackson... Yoonie hyung the west with Jaewan ajusshi ...Joon the south with Soobin and I will be leading the Northern border.... Hobi hyung will be in the center... along with more forces and Jin hyung..as the battle will proceed towards the center in some time....' Jungkook looked at everyone as they nodded in agreement

Taehyung had his eyes on his alpha who was in detail explaining the plan again... on how each one of them will be using their powers when and how....and on whom...

' And by tonight I guess after getting the book of shadows...Hobi hyung will be able to lay the final trap.. right hyung?'

' Yes Jungkook ah....' Hobi confirmed

' So that's all... Since everyone is fine with this..we all can go rest or do whatever needed...we just have the next day only...while Yoonie and Joon bring back the boo-'

' What about me?' Taehyung asked...his voice conveying his confusion

' What about you?' Jungkook turned towards him

Taehyung felt his mate's scent going a bit sore...but he ignored it for the moment as he took in a deep breath

' Jungkook...you explained how and where each one of them will be..what role they will be having for the war...what about me? What should I do?'

' You will be at the palace... the most skilled warriors are assigned for your protection.. you will stay back in our chamber till the war is over' Jungkook said with affirmation

' The palace?'

Jimin bit his lips in anticipation..he could feel the annoyance in Taehyung's voice as the omega continued

' I will stay back in the palace like a fool while my whole family...my people will be struggling in the battle ground...!! What do you mean Jungkook!!' Taehyung's voice rose ' I won't sit back like a coward waiting for the war to be over...Without even knowing in which state you all will be'

' You are staying back Taehyung and that's final' The alpha said..his jaw clenching

' I am not!' Taehyung stepped forward...the tension in the chamber raising as the royals shared a concerned look ' I have promised to be there for my people... You might not care to remember but the first vow I took after being declared the Luna was to protect them.. shielding them from anything and anyone evil..'

' Taehyung...' Jungkook gritted his teeth ' Don't argue on this...'

' What's your problem Jungkook? Me being in the field will do you what wrong? I just want to be there for you..with you all...I can't just sit back waiting for the news of anyone's death to come.... I can't do that! I am going and you can't stop me-'

' I can stop you because I can't loose you!' Jungkook yelled making the Omega flinch... Taehyung's breath got stuck in his chest when Jungkook's fingers wrapped around his jaw holding him closer' I can't loose you... No one knows what the outcome of the war will be... It's not a child's play Taehyung...' Jungkook breathed out.. their faces too close...breaths mingling and eyes darting towards each other's lips

' I almost lost you on the day you pulled out the stunt with Sehun...and I can't repeat it' Jungkook said...his own self craving to feel the plump lips of his husband 'I know that only I can kill you....and I once did kill you Tae.... Aidon did loose his Aevara...and am not ready to go through that pain again...ever... I will die but can't even imagine holding your lifeless body again in my arms..waiting for Hecate to grant us a blessing to meet in another life...'

Both the mates were silently crying...the royals way too silent and touched...they know how much their Alpha and Luna have suffered...

' I will die Tae...but can't let the history repeat...' Another tear slipped down both Taehyung and Jungkook's eyes ' I can't let anything happen to you..not when Akari is still alive... She will do anything to kill you...will stoop any low to make me kill you.... it's not happening again'

' Jungkook' Taehyung breathed out...his voice breaking as he leaned forward.. towards his alpha who was ready to welcome his lips when Taehyung spoke up 'I am going for the war'

Jungkook groaned leaving the omega's face...as he turned around....his breath heaving as he angrily punched the wall...

'Hyung''Kook' Both Jimin and Jin rushed to his side but Taehyung stood his ground

' Yeon bring the bandages' Jin said holding onto Jungkook's bleeding hands

Jungkook jerked off Jin's hands from his own as he harshly wiped off his tears...blood smearing across his face as he stood in front of Taehyung...their eyes holding a flame as they glared at each other...

Stop them Hoba Yoongi linked Hobi who just shook his head

Joon do something... I don't feel good Jin linked his mate

I can't do anything love....Joon sighed

' You ain't leaving this palace' Jungkook said with finality ' End of discussion'

' You are no one to decide that' Taehyung bit back

' I am....As your mate and the Alpha of Mirawik I can decide that' Jungkook gritted out

' I am the Luna of Mirawik...and I do have the powers to defy your orders' Taehyung smirked

' Don't make me do something I'll regret' Jungkook stepped closer..he knew he was crossing the line but he doesn't care as long as his Taehyung will be safe...and breathing ' Don't compel me to forcefully make you submit to me omega'

Taehyung stilled...his eyes widening for a millisecond before tears brimmed his azure orbs...his hands shaking as he took in a shaky breath...his heart breaking as he spoke up

' I Jeon Taehyung..Luna of Mirawik Rejects you'

🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱

Heyy lovelies

As promised its a double update

Alsoo just to be clear... Jungkook just met with Areum..he didn't cheat..it was just to talk
