Early in the morning, Prince Jimin went to the Crown Prince's chamber to get to know his health after the whole drama of yesterday, to see if Prince Jungkook was feeling any kind of post-dramatic effects. Later at night, the courting ceremony is going to take place in the Lunar Pack, so he wants Jungkook to enjoy his courting ceremony without any fears.

Because not every wolf can have this ceremony.

He received greetings from the Guard when he reached the destined chamber and smiled at Yoongi in response.

"Is your highness here to meet the Crown Prince?" Yoongi asked politely from the Royal Omega who was wearing a creamy white hanfu today, half of his long black hairs were falling on his shoulders, he was looking like an angel.

"Yes, Yoongi. I am here to meet our future Luna, Only if you honour me with your permission" Prince Jimin joked and both of them laughed.

"With all my pleasure, Your highness. But Prince is not in his chamber." Yoongi informed the beautiful omega whose face features showed confused expressions.

"Why? Did Prince Jungkook go somewhere?" Jimin asked.

"Wanna see?" Yoongi asked politely a subtle smile always came on his lips whenever he talked to the Royal Omega.

"Yes please." Jimin gave his consent.

"This way, Your Highness." Yoongi showed the way and led Jimin to a hallway that has a big wooden window in the middle.

Yoongi smiled as he looked down the window," Here is our Crown Prince."

Jimin followed him and looked down too. He watched Jungkook indulge in his sword practising, He was exploiting the sword in a way that only professionals can do. That surprised Jimin to the heart, here he is thinking that the poor omega must be in pain or any dilemma from yesterday but Jungkook proved him absolutely wrong, there he was practising all by himself on the grounds of Lunar pack, wearing a white practising dress.

"Surprised?" Yoongi faced Prince Jimin and asked.

"Yeah, I thought he must be on bed rest, seems like Jungkook is not like other omegas," Jimin replied.

"Crown Prince is very unique, he never behaves like he needs someone to protect him. But he learnt it in a hard way. Prince Jungkook has learnt everything an omega should know and practised all the weaponry that's necessary for a soldier. I hope everything that will happen from now on, will bring happiness to him." Yoongi said his words are sincere, Jimin can feel it.

"I hope that too. I hope this marriage will be a good decision for everyone." Jimin again faced the Omega who was now swirling his sword against another warrior in a casual fight.

Jimin stepped closer to the window while Yoongi stayed behind, he looked more closely when he saw some golden ambience around the younger Omega. He closed his eyes to bring his wolf on the surface, his eyes flattered pale blue as he studied the atmosphere around the Crown Prince.

And his instincts are right. The golden circle around jungkook is now more visible for Royal Omega's eyes, this circle is exactly the same that Jimin left around the Commander hoseok before leaving the Eclipse pack.

This trick is known by only two Royals. One is him and another is..... His brother. Does that mean...?
Taehyung left a protection circle around Jungkook for his safety?

The conclusion made the Royal Prince squeal loudly on his little toes as a bashful smile bloomed on his lips.

But a piece of his large white skirt comes under his feet that made his feet slip on the floor. A shriek left Jimin's mouth but Yoongi was quick to catch him from behind.

This time his hands touched the Royal Omega's waist as he held him in his place. His eyes met with pale blue orbs immediately changing colours from brown to orange.

They stare into each other's eyes where Jimin clenches his little fists over Yoongi's arms. Yoongi watched the hesitancy in the pale blue orbs but didn't dare to look anywhere down from Omega's eyes, he kept his eyes only on Royal Prince's eyes.

"You are just like an angel," Yoongi whispered in his daze.

"Huh?" Jimin asked, his cheeks are turning warm.

Yoongi's eyes went wide as he cleared his throat loudly, bringing the Royal Omega on his feet.

"I mean to say, Is Your Highness okay?" Yoongi looked everywhere around him except toward Prince Jimin.

Jimin finds it cute in a way, so he said," Yeah, I am fine Yoongi. Thank you for saving me."

Yoongi's face is now reflecting the colour of fresh beetroot," It's my duty, Your Highness."

Jimin smiled thankfully and said," Please let me know when Prince Jungkook comes back from his practice, I need to tell him a lot of things about the Eclipse Pack."

"Your grace, Your Highness." Yoongi bowed to Jimin as the Royal Omega turned around happily to go back to his chamber.

"Were you out of your mind when you went to kill Jungkook? Did you not think about the consequences? He is Royal King's mate now. You told me you are just going to tell and convince him to agree with your conditions." Seokjae was questioning his mate who was lying on the bed like a dead body.

Her wounds get filled because of her alpha strength but the ache in her bones remains the same. On top of all these things, she has marks around his neck, marks of Royal Alpha's hand. And whenever she brushed that area, those horrible memories of yesterday shook her body to the core.

At first, she didn't understand what's happening to her. She begged her husband to ask Prince Jimin about why her mind was still playing these memories in her head. And Jimin gladly replied to the king. According to the Royal Prince, His Majesty has a habit to leave print marks on the victim's body, so that they never forget their interaction with the Royal Alpha.

For some victims, it's a blessing that Royal Alpha helped them while for others it's like a daily punishment. Victims will remember it until the mark fades away.

And for Hyuna, it's indeed a punishment. The heart thundering memories of yesterday's that she wants to forget completely is messing with her head enormously.

Up to the point that her ears were buzzing as she couldn't speak or hear anything.

"Are you even listening to me, Hyuna?" Seokjae raised his voice, Finally gaining Hyuna's attention.

"I am so disappointed with you. You even forget the words of Superior?"

Hyuna's pinching brows were proof that she didn't remember anything, she definitely disregards the said words by the Superior.

"I can't believe you are my mate." Seokjae was looking tired and disappointed.

But still, he decided to put some sense in his mate's head one last time.

"When Jungkook was 3 years old, A Superior visited the Lunar Pack, Elder Chung Hee. Remember?"

Hyuna tried her best to recall anything but nothing came into her mind except a man wearing a white cloak with a long beard.

"When we introduced him to Jungkook he foretold us some wise words."

"He had mentioned,

If this Child's mate comes here and wants to court him. Then have mercy on this couple and don't hold your son back. Or your whole pack will face the wrath of the moon goddess."

"And it seems like you neglected his words on purpose and now our pack will face the consequences. Only because of you."

He sighed and continued," If you have some shame left, beg on your knees for forgiveness from the moon goddess."

He turned and left the chamber, he needed to prepare all the arrangements for the courting ceremony. He can't do anything grand in this short period but he just wishes at least he will be able to impress the Royal Prince so that the Royal Prince could save them in their hard time.

Hyuna left alone in the chamber to reflect on her actions but soon those memories started playing in her head and knocked her out on the bed.

Jungkook came back from his practice and went to the bathroom immediately, he wore a long green hanfu all by himself, completing his look by wearing a small norigae at the centre of the sash.

He sits down in front of the mirror on a chair, freeing his red flowing hairs and starts unravelling them. He unravel them neatly, letting them fall freely as he didn't need to go out today until the courting ceremony.

His red hairs were complimenting his green dress perfectly. This is the first time when he complimented himself by looking at his reflection. He gazed at his reflection more closely, his face was looking redder than normal like he wore a faint blush. His eyes were smiling?

Jungkook looked down in shyness when his gaze fell upon his neck. Yesterday, He touched his waist many times before sleeping until he was assured that His Majesty is the one who cured his wounds.

His body is still wafting with his mate's scent.

The fluttering feeling in his heart, the butterfly that was dancing in the pit of his stomach were all very new to him. But he liked this feeling.

First time in his life, he is not regretting that he was born as an Omega. Instead, he is feeling happy, happy that he will soon belong to someone. This feeling of belonging is enough for his wolf to wiggle inside of him.

"I have read that when one falls in love, this fluttering feeling comes in the heart and makes you yearn and long for your loved one. It gives you shivers and makes you quiver in his desires like a leaf." He was looking at his reflection intensely.

"And I am feeling all of them for the Royal Alpha. Am I falling in love?" Jungkook questioned himself, having a habit of talking to himself.

The blush around his neck is the answer to his question though he declined his thoughts.

"I am not sure of it yet. But one thing I am sure about is I am ready to accept His Majesty as my mate. Yesterday I got to know why everyone describes His Majesty as a combination of cruel and loveable. His cruel actions as a Royal King won my respect for him, however, his lovable deeds when he treated my wounds gave me eternal peace."

"I would be lucky to have him as my mate. His one gaze would be enough for me to live my life respectfully. I don't want anything else, just a corner in his life where I can stand beside him."

Jungkook smiled at his reflection, his bunny smile that he saw after a long time. A knock on the door disturbed his thoughts, he quickly pushed his hairs on his back and opened the chamber.

Prince Jimin was behind the door," You don't have to knock, Your Highness."

"Oh please Prince Jungkook, you are not too. Please stop calling me Your Highness. You can call me Jimin or Hyung would be fine." Jimin smiled widely, anyone can tell that Royal Omega is excited.

"How could I when Your Highness is calling me a Prince too?" Jungkook said, stepping aside and letting the Royal Omega enter his chamber.

Jimin laughed at his silliness and sat on Jungkook's bed, tapping the space beside him calling jungkook to sit.

Jungkook compiled and sat beside the Royal Omega.

"Forgive me for my mistake, Our future Luna." Jimin joked and laughed when Jungkook's face flushed bright red.

"Okay, okay. How about I call you jungkook and you call me Hyung? Is it okay?"

Jungkook fanned his face lightly and nodded his head," Yes, Hyung."

"What's your wolf's name, Jungkook?" Jimin asked suddenly, feeling he doesn't know the Omega fully yet.

"He called Kookie," Jungkook said politely and his wolf lifted his fluffy butt in the air at the introduction.

"Nice name. Mine called Chim, he is a naughty wolf." Jimin said, where Chim huffed inside of him.

Jungkook smiled and said," I have a shy and a brave wolf."

"Shy?" Jimin asked in confusion," well that's something new."

"I am here to tell you about the Eclipse Pack. I wonder if anyone told you about us before, so here I am. You will not get a good guide other than me to tell you the eclipse's stories." Jimin chirped sitting on the bed comfortably.

"Stories?" Jungkook thrived in happiness like a child got his favourite birthday gift. He lifted his legs sitting comfortably too.

"I want to know everything, please tell me hyung. I don't know anything about the eclipse pack and soon I am going there. I want to know everything." Jungkook said.

"That's why I am here, you don't have to worry about anything. I will be there in the Eclipse pack, you can ask me anything there too. Right now, I would not be able to tell you everything, but I will try to tell you the basic rituals and rites."

"Okay, hyung. I am ready, you can tell me."

"Before that, I want to apologise, Jungkook," Jimin said, placing his hand on Jungkook's, looking a little sad.

Jungkook doesn't expect this sudden change of emotion in the Royal Omega, so he asked," Why? What happened hyung?"

"If the events like yesterday didn't happen at all, I would make sure to prepare your courting ceremony with a Royal status. Everything would be as grand as Royals but His Majesty issued his order to court you today. So the ceremony will not be that grand as you must be expected." Jimin said, looking so guilty.

"Hyung, I didn't expect anything. I am not gonna lie, I don't even expect that I will be accepted as a mate. And luxury is not my thing, that never gave me satisfaction or happiness before as well. The thing that matters the most for me is when... when.. He- His-..Umm..when.Ro-Roy--" He glanced at the Royal Omega who was listening to him attentively but furrowed his eyebrows when Jungkook stopped abruptly and looked down.

Jimin stretches his hand and lifts Jungkook's chin like a parent would do to a child," Why did you stop?"

"Umm.. Hyung?" Jungkook asked hesitantly and looked at the Royal omega.

Jimin retreats his hand back and smiles," Yeah, I just said you can ask me anything right?"

"Yes, Umm what should I call h- Ro-... I mean how should I address the most Respected Royal Alpha King?" There, Jungkook asked with his wide eyes.

Jimin puffed and tumbled over the bed laughing loudly making Jungkook more flushed in his position.

"Pfffthahahahha What's with the most respected Royal, on God! Jungkook you are so funny." Jimin tumbled once again and laughed.

"Hyung" Jungkook pleaded and Jimin stopped after a while wiping the corners of his eyes.

"Let me think, what should our Luna call our King?" Jimin tapped his chin like he was thinking hard.

"No matter on what scale you are asking but he will be Your Alpha in the end," Jimin concluded and told Jungkook.

"Your Alpha?" Jungkook asked, his black eyes starting fluttering blue but he controlled.

"Not mine silly, your Alpha. Taehyung will be your alpha only, So only you can address him as " My Alpha or My Royal Majesty" you decide what you want to call him." Jimin said, understanding Jungkook's internal turmoil. Jungkook soon needs to address Taehyung on a personal and official level so he should know the appropriate abbreviations.

Jungkook felt happiness in his heart as his wolf howled in fulfilment, feeling so much dignity addressing the Royal Alpha as his alpha," My Alpha."

Jungkook flinched in his position when he again heard the demonic growl. He looked at Jimin who was smiling widely at him.

"Don't worry it was Taehyung, he likes to growl sometimes. He has many habits like this."

Jungkook nodded feeling a heat rise on his ears.

"Should we start our conversation about the eclipse Pack?" Jimin asked.

"Yes, Please." Jungkook sat straight, ready for hearing everything attentively.
