Chapter 15


"Please take a seat." Prince Jimin said and all the people who wanted to sit down on their seats, complied with his command. However, most of the folks standing on their toes, squealing internally to not miss any details of the ceremony.

Jimin gestured to the werewolf couple to take a seat too. Jungkook was waiting to take a seat after his Alpha sits down. But the problem is his Alpha was still standing and not budging from his position.

"Prince Jungkook, take a seat first," Jimin said and Jungkook turned his head towards Jimin in confusion. Wouldn't it be disrespectful to the Alpha if he sits first across him?

But then he remembered Prince Jimin explained to him How the eclipse pack gave priority to Omegas. 

He bowed slightly to Jimin and sat down on the dark blue cushion placed beside him. 

The Royal Alpha soon followed and sat on the golden cushion right opposite to the omega prince.

"Two days prior, The Royal Alpha King of Eclipse and The Crown Prince of Lunar were found to be mates. For them to follow their bounded fate, a courting ceremony is required." Prince Jimin's voice was resonating in the peaceful courtroom.

"Although every werewolf knew the importance of the courting ceremony, it is crucial to describe its importance."

"A courting ceremony in between werewolves is similar to a marriage ceremony in humans. The werewolves have to take some vows under the blessings of the Moon goddess. Only after the mutual acceptance of each other, they will be declared as mates for eternity."

"Following the rituals of our oldest Pack Eclipse, I, Kim Jimin, the mediator of my brother's ceremony, is starting the process of courting ceremony."

The wolves howled and watched as Royal Omega took the blue and Red threads from a tray. The lunar pack members look more excited as the rituals are quite new to them. 

Jimin turned to Royal Alpha and said," Bring your Right hand forward." 

The Royal Alpha stuck his right hand out for Jimin. Jimin sat down and leaned forward to tie one end of dark blue thread over Royal Alpha's wrist in a light knot and said," The Blue thread symbolises Yin, which is a calm and feminine energy, An energy which is associated with the moon and is passive, yielding and receptive." 

He turned toward the omega Prince and said," Bring your left hand forward." 

Jungkook complied and stretched his hands toward the Royal omega. Jimin took the red thread and tied it's one end over Jungkook's wrist in a light knot and said," The Red thread symbolises Yang, which is stormy and masculine energy, which represents the positive cosmic forces and the passionate energy of life." 

"In simple words, the Blue thread that tied over Royal Alpha's wrist is Prince Jungkook's virtues that will fill the empty half part of Royal Alpha's life. The same goes for the Red thread that tied over Prince Jungkook's wrist is Royal Alpha's virtues that will fill the empty half part of Prince Jungkook's life."

Jimin took the other ends of these threads and tie them in a tight knot. "And this middle knot shows the combination of these two threads that represents the balance of the Universe." 

Everyone was listening to the Royal Omega, understanding each word very carefully," The first oath that you will both take, will be a Blood oath." The Audience threw some worried and confused glances at each other, they never heard about any blood oath.

"A Blood oath will be the approval of your wolves to your bond. A mutual agreement of your wolves that they accept each other." 

Jimin gestured to the maids and they came forward with a shorter wide table and settled it in between the couple. A big bowl was imposed in the middle and a knife with sharp edges lay beside it.

The knife looks aesthetic just like Royals, the Ironic carving over its edges shows that it's not a regular knife.

Jimin gave the knife to Royal Alpha and Taehyung sliced his right palm effortlessly, without showing any pain in his features. He gave the knife back to Jimin and floated his palm over the bowl.

Similarly, Jimin stretches his hand towards Jungkook and puts the knife in his hand. Jungkook looked at the knife smeared with his Alpha's blood and placed it over his left palm. He felt the edge of the knife dug into his palm and soon the blood started oozing out.

"Join your hands over the bowl," Jimin said and took the knife back to place it carefully on the table. 

Jungkook gulped and looked up, The Royal Alpha was looking down over his own bloody hand intensely. The blood was covering his whole hand now, his fingers were drenched in blood, but there is no sign of pain in his eyes, his eyes are just blank. Jungkook waits nervously for his Alpha to stretch his palm toward him.

And it happened, The Royal Alpha opened his palm in front of Jungkook, waiting for him to place his palm over it.

The happiness bloomed inside Jungkook and the folks howled in a thrill when he placed his palm in Royal Alpha's hand. 

Their blood met and thunder washed over Jungkook's heart. It starts beating wildly, blood racing forward to flow in his veins. The shockwaves Jungkook was feeling could not be described. It's like a leaf falling from the sky suddenly got a lightning shock from the clouds. 

Jungkook's hands start trembling in Royal Alpha's hold. As much as Jungkook wants to close his eyes and feel Alpha's touch on his hand, He knew they had an oath to complete.

Jimin joined their hands tightly. Their blood reaches to their threads and starts travelling down with the strings. Their blood met on the middle knot and kept falling in the bowl.

"Close your eyes and let your wolves decide," Jimin said and the couple closed their eyes.

Jungkook closed his eyes and let his wolf take over, soon he heard Jimin's voice.

"Do you, Omega Kookie accepts Royal Alpha V as your Alpha?"

"I accept," Kookie said.

Kookie squealed loudly, doing flips inside Jungkook, rolling over his tummy in anticipation, Jungkook smiled shyly, his eyes were still closed. 

Jimin's voice again heard," Do you, Royal Alpha V accept Omega Kookie as your Omega?" 

Time passes by, but no voice is heard. 
Unconsciously, Jungkook squeezed the hold of their hands lightly.

"I accept." A very deep voice said and every strand of Jungkook's body shivered like a paper in a storm.

They felt it. The bond. Jungkook felt an immense power sprinkled over his body, the power by which the light wound at his palm started healing quickly. 

They kept their eyes closed until their palm healed fully. Jungkook still did not open his eyes, because he recalled Jimin said to him 'once the ceremony starts you will not do anything unless I say.'

He kept his eyes closed and used this time to observe the hand underneath his palm carefully. Royal Alpha's hands are rough, Jungkook concluded. Because the hold of their hand is too tight right now, and it's doing many things to Jungkook's heart.

"Open your eyes," Jimin said and he was referring to both of them. So both opened their eyes slowly. And Jungkook saw the mesmerizing view of his life.

His Alpha's eyes were shining dark blue and his own eyes were reflecting a golden colour, which means the bond is completed.

The people around them watched the scenery in pure disbelief, miracles of nature. Two wolves exchanged their eye colour, accepting each other as mates.

The wolves are staring at each other without blinking their eyes, Kookie's eyes were showing longing for years while V's eyes showing nothing but an intense stare.

"The Bond is complete. You can leave your hands." Jimin's voice brought them out of their trance and their eyes changed in normal colour as soon as they left each other's hand.

Royal omega opened the threads from their wrists and drowned the threads along with the middle knot in the bowl of blood. 

The maids came and took every single object they placed before.

"The second oath that you will both take now, will be a mortal oath," Jimin said.

Jungkook's heart comes back at its steady pace, it's not trying to pop out of his chest like before, it's beating normally now. But the wolf inside him is not normal like before. He is howling around him like a mad blushy dog, making it hard for Jungkook to focus on Jimin's word.

Kookie calm down, please.

Oh my moon goddess, I got an Alpha, I got my Alpha. He is mine. Jungkook, did you see. He accepted me. Jung-

Jungkook cut off his wolf and shut him down so that he could listen Jimin's word better.

"A mortal oath will be the approval of your human forms to your bond. A mutual agreement of your human forms which interprets that you accept each other."

Two maids come up and start removing the Crown over Jungkook's head. 

"Since Prince Jungkook is no longer The Crown Prince of Lunar, There is no need of the crown." Jimin smiled and helped the maids to remove the crown without any hardship.

Jungkook felt like a heavy weight got lifted from his head and his heart. He felt light. Is this how happiness felt? He asked to himself and looked at his alpha under his long black eyelashes. The Royal Alpha was looking towards Jimin, So Jungkook took his time to fill his Alpha's image in his eyes to the brim without shy away. 

He blinked his eyes rapidly and threw glances to notice as many features of his Alpha's face as he could until Jimin spoke again.

"You all can start singing, it's the time," Jimin said to the Eclipse pack members as the mortal oath was coming next.

"This is a custom of Eclipse, the people of the pack sing for the couple until they accept each other. One more reason behind this is, they sing so that no one could hear their confession, keeping them safe from envy eyes and evil gazes."

"People from Lunar can also join them." Jimin declared and uncovered a tray that was holding a pair of Red and dark blue leather bracelets.

"It is a token of your vows. Always keep it with yourself, they will save you in difficult times." Jimin said and tied the Blue one on Taehyung's wrist and Red one on Jungkook's wrist.

Jungkook smiled and looked down while Taehyung turned his head to the folks who starts singing more loudly.

"Do you, Jeon Jungkook, The Prince of Lunar, accept Kim Taehyung, The Royal King of Eclipse, as your Alpha?" Jimin asked Jungkook.

The red hair beauty was feeling overwhelming with emotions, he nodded his head in one go," I accept."

"Do you, Jeon Jungkook, The Prince of lunar, accept Eclipse Pack as your home and serve your life as their Luna?"

Jungkook has sworn on his life, the people of Eclipse will come first as his priority so he nodded his head," I accept."

"Do you, Jeon Jungkook, The Prince of Lunar, accept your submission as Kim Taehyung's Omega for eternity?"

Jungkook's eyes brimmed with tears, he doesn't know what is happening but his heart feels like it reached its destination, with prickling happy tears he said," I accept."

The crowd of people was not singing but roaring right now, some of them were even dancing over the fence.

Jimin turned toward The Royal King who was looking directly at the crying omega in front of him.

"Do you, Kim Taehyung, The Royal Alpha King of Eclipse, accept Jeon Jungkook, The prince of Lunar, as your omega?" 

Jungkook looked up and held his Alpha's gaze with his light damp eyes. His eyes were full of hope, full of love and showing respect towards his Alpha.

Jungkook was waiting for those words that will fill his life with a new meaning, That will give him a new reason to live. 

But he got nothing in response.

The crowd was so loud that nobody is caring about the words now, according to them the ceremony was completed when the wolf exchanged eye colours and completed their bond.

But the ceremony is not completed for Jungkook, he needs to hear those words, the words where his Alpha accepts him, not only his wolf form. 

But with time, his hope starts shattering into pieces because the Alpha was doing nothing but staring at him. He is not saying anything.

His eyes start burning with hot tears, they are not from happiness anymore.

What if his majesty accepts my wolf but not me. Does he hate me? Did I do something wrong? Why is he not saying anything? Is he going to reject me? But- he comes out from his thoughts when he hears that deep soulful voice again.

"I accept." 

Jungkook closed his eyes and sighs shakily. Two drops fall out from his eyes, tears of relief.

"Do you, Kim Taehyung, The Royal Alpha King of Eclipse, accept Lunar under your governance?"

"I accept." 

Jungkook opened his eyes and quickly wiped the tears because he could still sense his Alpha's gaze on him and he did not want to come out as a weak omega. 

"Do you, Kim Taehyung, The Royal Alpha King of Eclipse, accept Jeon Jungkook under your possession for eternity?" 

"I accept." 

Jungkook wants to die from happiness but his teary eyes were betraying him again. He watched as the Royal Alpha stood up from his seat and walked toward him and crouched down beside him.

Prince Jimin gave a folded long golden veil to Royal Alpha. 

Jungkook's watery eyes watched his Alpha as he unfolds the veil for Jungkook. He was so close to him.

Their eyes met for a moment and soon Jungkook's gaze on his Alpha blurred by a golden veil. Taehyung draped the veil over Jungkook's head and slid it down on his face until Jungkook's face got fully covered and the veil reached to his waist.

And the next moment, The Alpha stands up from his position and holds his hand in the air.

The crowd fell silent and bowed lightly. Their faces were adorning widest smiles.

Jimin helped Jungkook to stand up and hugged him tightly," I am so happy Jungkook. So happy. Please take care of my brother, Luna." 

Jungkook hugged him back, now he knows he is not the only one who had happy tears in his eyes, Jimin was also crying. Jungkook nodded his head in agreement, feeling overwhelmed to reply to Royal Prince.

Jimin pulls Pack and leads Jungkook to the Royal King. Jungkook clutched his veil tightly with his one hand and stood on the left side of his Alpha.

The maids come forward and start arranging his long veil in a beautiful order from behind. 

One maid comes forward and holds a tray toward Royal Alpha, the tray holds a little white cushion upto which a gorgeous crown is placed neatly. The crowd has seven dark blue diamonds, the same as Jungkook's eyes.

Taehyung took the crown in his hand and turned to his left. But Jungkook was not looking at the crown, he was looking at the man who wins his heart and soul today. Undoubtedly, Jungkook's vision was blurry due to the veil but he admires his mate from behind his veil. He watched as his Alpha stretched his both hands and placed the crown over his head.

Jungkook closed his eyes, bowing lightly he accepted the crown.

Prince Jimin was true to his words, the crown was everything but heavy. Or maybe it's the power of love that gives Jungkook energy to accept this big responsibility. 

The Royal Omega stood beside his brother and the Trio was facing the whole crowd now. 

"The Lunar Pack will be under my governance, the problems of Lunar folks will be my problems from now on. I pledge my mother and take this pack's responsibility."

Hearing Royal Alpha's words, the lunar pack crowd lost their senses and roared," Hail to the Alpha! Hail to the Luna!"

💜💜💜💜💜💜💜.
