Chapter 1

The journey starts from here...

Sharp dark grey eyes were fighting with the bright moonlight of the Moon like they want to defeat them, want to snatch that glow from the Moon, want to make him nothing but a black stone who didn't have it's own light and want to make it a black ball floating in the darkness of the night...

The glow in that dark grey eyes was slowly turning into something golden. Deep puffs of air pushed out from the nostrils, lips twitched into a scowl. A long and strong hand grabbed the window and closed it with a jerk so that the light of the moon could no longer enter the room.

Kim Taehyung, King Alpha of his Eclipse Pack was standing behind the closed window. He closed his eyes to control that golden glow and turned toward his large library room. He opened his eyes and those now empty grey eyes were staring at particular nothing in that large illuminated room. Mild light is coming from the orb chandelier hanging on the ceiling.

Some large and short racks filled with books were covering the whole room. But they are not organised properly, some of them were dusted over the floor, some books were on the verge to collapse.

He took a book and sit on the new chair that occupied a small space in the corner. That new chair stands out like a sore thumb in the whole abandoned room.

He opened it and start reading, he has to be careful with the worn-out pages of the book or the book will be broken apart in pieces. He is flipping the pages delicately, doesn't want to damage his favourite book more.

"Taehyungie?" He heard a voice, correction a familiar voice, so he didn't give any attention to it and keep reading his book. He is about to flip the next page when the big door of the library opened with a little crack.

A beautiful boy wrapped in a traditional white hanbok stepped in the room. Long sleeves immediately come to his sensitive nose sensing the dirty dust spread all over the room. He spots his brother sitting on the chair still emerged in his book not even minding the dusty atmosphere like he became used to it.

"I know you'll be here. I feel like a fool to look for you in the entire palace when you are sitting in your library or let's say abandon library." The boy said still keeping his hand on his nose.

No response. He didn't even blink his eyes toward his older brother just looking at the ragged edges of the book, opening the folded corner of it with his famous blank face.

The boy sighed and put his hand down, face immediately turned uneasy as the dust particle filled his sharp nose. He looked his brother is still not noticed his presence. He tilts his head, long dark black hairs swirling around his shoulder. He nodded to himself before speaking,

"I told you before as well that you should keep this place neat and tidy. Look at the bad condition of all these books. This is not good at all. Let me call all the workers, I'll personally dictate them how to organise your books." The boy said and start walking to the door again.

"Kim Jimin" An uninterested but still commanding voice come from the corner and stopped the boy right into his steps.

"Finally, After so long, I heard your voice" a gorgeous smile spread on his face, making his eyes go like a crescent moon.

"How long it would be, a couple of months or a year. Last time you speak to me was when you saved me from breaking my knee by falling from a ladder and said: "watch your steps". I think that was half and a year ago." Jimin said crossing his hands. But still have no luck in getting full attention. He sighed softly before going to his brother.

"You know you are back after a year... I-i missed you. How are you?" He asked softly but his brother is still busy in reading that book.

"Okay. Forget about it. I wanna ask you for a favour. Please don't deny it. Can you please please please come with me to the celebration of Lunar Pack?" Jimin pleaded.

Taehyung still reading his book like he didn't even consider the fact that his brother is talking about something. So Jimin continued.

"You know about the Pack in which a dangerous plague spread 50 years ago. I went there with our Pack's herbs and medicines. The situation was critical but we managed to solve it. Umm... Now they invited us to the coronation of his son as their Pack's Queen." Jimin tried to explain.

Taehyung finally lifts his head and look at his brother with a blank face. Something pierced Jimin's heart whenever he gets to look at his brother's empty eyes. But he gulped down his thoughts and started rambling again.

" I'm also confused but we have to go. They came here right from the northeast to invite us. So please come with me. It'll be like a good outing for us. We never hang with each other for ages. Please Taehyungie." Jimin cupped his face in his hands and pleaded again.

Taehyung shakes his head tiredly before emerging in the book again. And Jimin, he knows that look very well it is a 'I'm so done with you and this is the last time I'm going with you' look. So he clapped his hands jumping on his little feet.

"Thank you Taehyungie. I'll go and tell Commander Hoseok to get ready my carriage and your Artax. We have to reach there in three days so if we leave tomorrow we'll get there in time." Jimin said happily.

Taehyung lift his right eyebrow when he heard about taking Artax with him.

"I know I know. We can go without taking help of our horses but think about running miles straight to the northeast? My wolf is not that strong like you. I promise I'll  personally take care of them once we get back from our outing." Jimin pledged while putting his hands in the air.

Eyebrow came down and Taehyung slides his back to get into a comfortable position.

"Also... Wear some traditional clothes. I know you like wearing your western comfortable clothes but if you wear them at the celebration they might think you are some weirdo who came from Mars."
Jimin giggled on his own joke before running outside the library with one hand clutching on his long hanbok skirt.

He walked toward the courtroom but stopped when he spotted Commander Hoseok walking toward him.

"Hello Prince Jimin" Hoseok bowed down and greet him.

"Surprised to see you here commander," Jimin said because this is the abandoned part of the palace only a few people know about it.

"I'm looking for Your Majesty. Do you know where he is? There is an emergency in the courtroom, Prince Jimin". Commander Hoseok asked politely.

" Oh? He is behind that big door" Jimin said pointing toward the library.

"But Don't go there directly. Taehyungie might not like it." He added.

" Yes Prince, I'll keep that in mind" He bowed again to go to the library room.

"Commander Hoseok?" Jimin stopped him hurriedly.

"Can you meet me after the hearing process, I have to tell you the details about our departure for tomorrow."

"Of course, Prince. I'll be there."

Jimin smiled and waved him off. He went to the courtroom to see what emergency has come at this hour of the night.

Taehyung closed the book and left the book on the table. He stands up to walk toward the window again but a knock on the stopped him.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry to disturb you this late but an emergency came in the courtroom. We need you there."
A hesitant but strong voice comes from the other side.

Taehyung pokes his cheek with his tongue before walking to the door. He opened it and walk past the commander.

Commander Hoseok followed him and briefs him about the matter.

Taehyung entered the majestic courtroom which is looking quite peacefully in the night time. No one is there except Jimin who is looking disappointed sitting on his royal seat beside the throne and a man is surrounded by some soldiers. That man was throwing constant profanities on them.

"This is the man, Lee Wilson. We found three omegas in his chamber and they all were raped and tortured. One of them is heavily injured and give us her statement." Commander Hoseok said with a clear hatred in his voice.

"Y-your M-maj-" before that man can complete his sentence, a silver dagger pierced directly through his heart. Dark dirty blood flowed through his vast, he looked down to notice the initials on the dagger 'KTH'.

Taehyung comes closer calmly and pulls out his dagger. And the second he pulled out the living light in that man's eyes turned into blackness.

He lifts his dagger and Hoseok immediately took it to clean it up after.

Taehyung looks at Jimin and walks away. And Jimin understands it easily.

"Commander Hoseok, Can you take me to the injured Omegas?"

"Yes, Prince Jimin. Please come, This way." He gestured with his hand bowingly.
