Chapter 20


The people of Eclipse stand a little behind, leaving a wide space for clans to enter and give their heart melting performances to welcome their Luna.

Taehyung was standing on the edge of the porch, one hand behind his back, neck staring high into the pack members. Jungkook was standing close to him watching the pack laughing and celebrating with his heart eyes.

The loud howl of wolves filled in the enormous garden of the Palace, the Big drums and Trumpets buzzed boisterously picking a tremendous harmony. Jungkook's heartbeat quickened as the first clan entered the garden, the scene his eyes were witnessing is marvellous.

"Presenting Silver Bow's salutation," Commander Hoseok announced the clan's name and stood at the first stair of the porch.

A crew of black werewolves with red eyes embarked in the garden, a bunch of them were in human form. Their human forms were holding a spear in their left hands, a weapon with a pointed tip, typically of steel, and a long shaft, used for thrusting or throwing.

They bowed in front of their emperor and the harmony of sharp cornet joined the musical environment. The locals quickly pick up the unity and start singing together. 

"Our great and magnificent Emperor,
Ruler of Royal Decree,
May you live long
Forever and evermore,
Words alone cannot praise our Empress
We welcome you in our hearts!"

The mellifluous sound of people got filled in the entire pack, their voice was loud and melodic, which sank right into Jungkook's heart. His body was vibrating because of the powerful lyrics. He had never seen so much dedication before.

The Silver bow was showing his fabulous skills as the wolves were circling around their clan. 

Jungkook glanced back and noted a Royal golden armchair was placed at the centre of the porch. He closed his eyes and thanked the goddess that Royal Alpha decided to keep standing in the entire gathering.

Otherwise, he will be so embarrassed.

But he realised he was a little quick to judge the Royal King because, in the next moment, The Royal Alpha turned and walked to the Royal armchair before sitting on it gracefully.


Taehyung sat on the chair, his back straight but relaxing over the pillowy backrest. He placed his elbow on the armrest, fingers resting beside his jaw. He parted his legs, his left leg stayed in his position while another leg got placed over the footrest of the chair.

The next words of the crowd went unheard by Jungkook, his own heart was buzzing in his ears loudly as he looked at his Alpha. His feet got stuck on the floor and his breaths became ragged. 

Does this mean I have to -

His thoughts flew all over when Taehyung's eyes caught him, and as if in automation, Jungkook walked to the chair with slow but steady steps, his feet approaching the chair while his veil trailed behind him beautifully.

Taehyung spread his legs more and Jungkook took a seat on his left leg elegantly. A hand came from behind and touched Jungkook's waist over the veil, sending a whiff of sensations in his body.

Jungkook bit his lips hard and lowered his head. His hands were shaking which was placed beautifully on his lap. The scent of his Alpha was so overwhelming for his sensitive nose, his wolf wanted to purr in delight but Jungkook bit his tongue and kept quiet.

He fitted perfectly into the space between his alpha's legs. Like this lap was made for him and him only. His cheeks blazed crimson red as he praised the ancestors of Royals to create a ritual of wearing a veil or the whole pack will witness the red face of their Luna. 

The loud cheers of the people caught his attention again as he looked forward. 

The People of the eclipse's happiness was all over the place, their Alpha and Luna were watching them while sitting in each other's embrace. Now, they want nothing more, it looks like they have achieved their dreams all together which brought a new energy into their voices. They started singing more loudly.

"Presenting Ash Alder's salutation,"

Another bunch of wolves joined the Pack but they seem different from the previous ones, their wolf colour is Ash grey while each wolf was wearing a unique feather-like piercing in their ears.

They are Ash Alders, Luna. This clan was made by my students, all of them are healers. A few years back they gifted me their unique ear piercing, that my wolf still wears. Jungkook heard Jimin's voice through mind link and smiled at the older.

"In every town, 
In every courtyard
There is love for you both,
 in every heart.
Alpha's kindness is always victorious,
But Luna's arrival,
Made wind of peace blows across the land.
We welcome you in our hearts!"

Jungkook smiled brightly as the clan danced while holding a tambourine in their hands, creating a jingling sound whenever they move it.

"Presenting Mystic Shadow's salutation,"

Wearing Red cloaks on their heads, a batch of soldiers came forward, they were holding daggers and shields showing their ability with weapons. This clan impressed Jungkook the most, their strength and vitality of holding heavy daggers seem so effortless but powerful.

This clan's instructor was a disciple of Royal Alpha, in the past. This clan has treasured traditional education so closely.

Jimin's words again echoed in his mind and Jungkook got lost in their performance.

"Every heart as a witness says that, 
Our generous Alpha,
Is a shadow of God.
Wherever we go,
From wherever we pass,
He showers us with gold.
We accept our Luna,
Feeling blessed as pearls
That found in cold.
We welcome you in our hearts!"

Their every attacking and defensive position holds so much potential. But one more thing took Jungkook's breath away again, People's love for their Alpha. Jungkook had never heard of a King who could satisfy their people's needs in such a way that they started considering their Alpha as God. 

His chest bloomed with pride, as his eyes expressed honour for their Alpha. He couldn't help but turn to look at his Alpha, Taehyung was staring straight at the crowd but Jungkook's breath hitched when his Alpha tilted his head towards him.

Their eyes were peering at each other, Jungkook wondered if his Alpha could see him through the veil, but he could see Taehyung very clearly. 

Spontaneously, still staring at each other, Jungkook got relaxed in the position. He was sitting stiffly at first, conscious of his surroundings but he can swear those blank eyes were doing things to Jungkook's heart. The constant warmness over his waist was making him dizzy.

"Presenting Blue Moon's salutation," Hoseok voice broke the trance of their eyes as Jungkook looked down in his lap and lifted his face to look forward again.

A bunch of girls entered the hall, they were sitting on white horses, holding big swords in their hands. Their swords have a modern curve at the end, Jungkook noticed.

The horses were circling the porch as the girls played with swords, it's like the sword was a part of their hands, they seemed well skilled and talented.

"Luna's religion is Love,
Alpha finished many superstitions.
No praise can describe them together,
They are the confluence of all traditions.
You are our parents,
We are your child
You are praised everywhere.
We welcome you in our hearts!"

The crowd assembled in a big circle, swirling on the beats of musical instruments. People seemed happy and content with their lives.

The historical saga ends as the people clap together, Jimin claps for them too. While Jungkook was starstruck at the enormous scene but still he lifted his lands lightly and combined them to clap, praising the people for their hard work and the folks howled in cheers.

The sun was covered with big white clouds in the sky, like they were protecting the Pack from the sharp yellow light of the sun. This made the whole environment more comfortable.

"Now is the time for the second ritual, are you all ready?" Jimin addressed the locals and got a howl in agreement.

He nodded his head and turned to the Royal couple," Are you both ready?" 

Taehyung tapped his shoe on the footrest and Jungkook got up from his lap, soon Royal Alpha followed him and looked at the Royal Omega.

Jimin smiled and looked at Yeonjun," Can you please bring the bowl of papers that I made earlier?" 

Yeonjun bowed and came back with a wooden tray on which a creamy green bowl is placed," This Ritual is made by Royal grandmother when she feels scared from her mate in her starting days. She didn't know how to start a conversation with her mate without feeling scared, so, she made this ritual where the newly mates sing for each other while using the two themes that they would pick out from this bowl." 

The Royal Prince steps down the stairs and stands between the people of Eclipse pack. "Come down and select your themes, Your Majesty." Jimin's voice was loud but sweet as Commander Hoseok stared towards the Royal omega before averting his eyes to the Royal couple who were walking down the porch too.

The Royal omega signalled to Jungkook to choose first. Jungkook stretches his hand and picks up two thin folded papers. Next was Taehyung, he picked two papers too.

"Now tell us, what your themes are." 

Jungkook took the papers under his veil and unfolded them, he gasped inaudibly and looked up at his Alpha before ducking his head down again.

The first theme is good but the sec-

"Tell us, Luna," Jimin asked again.

Jungkook looked at the words that were written over the paper beautifully and read them again," I have got, Praising and Flirting."

The people around them clapped cheering loudly and looked at their Alpha with hopeful eyes, Taehyung looked up and said, "Doubting and accusing."

This time the crowd gasped but yelled in excitement. The people parted in two groups, one standing behind their Luna and the others standing behind their Royal Alpha, while Jimin and Hoseok remained in between them.

"Rules are simple, we have to encourage the Royal couple and stay with us for giving them company, we can sing with them, we can sing individually too. I know, we are ancestors of music, it will be easy for us but if our Luna makes any mistake we will let it slide, okay?" Royal omega said to the crowd who were going out of their minds but still howled in agreement.

Jungkook gulped and licked his lips, wetting them so that his voice doesn't come out harsh. Of course, The Crown Prince of Lunar knows how to sing, he is skilled in all arts of werewolf kind. He had accomplished his education in every art and creation. And singing is also an art.

The Royal Alpha roamed in between the Pack members and stopped in front of the drummers, he lifted his fingers and placed them on the flat surface of the drum, his fingers brushed over the surface creating a gratifying and heart melting melody.

"Don't trap me,
in your wild red tresses,
Let me live,
Pretty one."......Taehyung

People roared and Jungkook's senses went blown away. His mouth parted as he heard the mellifluous voice of his Alpha. Did he get knocked out with the first sentence alone, yes he did.

Jungkook's wolf laid inside him blissfully, purred as his Alpha's melodious voice rippled in his body. The drummers and other musicians picked up the harmony and synchronised it blissfully.

Jungkook clutched his veil tightly and looked around, No I can't lose like this.

People turned their heads when they heard their Luna's beautiful voice for the first time.

"Don't explode,
my senses like that, 
Stop coming out with
your alluring self."........Jungkook

Jimin joined Jungkook and The people felt blessed swaying themselves with the harmony.

"Don't play with me,
I am already tortured by you.
I have suffered many wounds
Over my chest for you."........Taehyung

Jungkook felt a pang in his heart by hearing those words but he knew this is only a ritual. 

"You are the torturer,
I know very well.
Your charms are not
Hideous from me."........Jungkook

Taehyung's eyes got locked with Jungkook's as he approached the omega, people leaving enough space between them so that Royals can move freely.

"You are a traitor,
You are a betrayer.
Casting a spectre of fake love
To fool me.
Your colourful-tale,
Keep it to yourself.
Your youth-fullness,
Keep it to yourself.".......Taehyung

Taehyung was eyeing the omega very dangerously, Jungkook gulped but still sang, 

"Then avert your piercing gaze
From me.
Let me live,
Divine one."........Jungkook

People lost their patience and start singing along, this is a golden chance for them, only God knows when the next time will come when they will hear their Alpha singing with their Luna.

Jimin sensed the darkness around his brother and took the matter in his hand, 

"Mischievous eyes are talking
In the surroundings.
The weather is changing
It's posture."........Jimin

Now the commander of Eclipse held the command.

"When you came out
To walk slowly, 
Prettiness follows you
On every step closely."........Hoseok

Jimin turned red but sighed when a person from the crowd take the charge, 

"Every winner could fail
In front of them,
These eyes
Play such tricks."........Pack member

"When your hairs fall
On your eyes,
Moon smiles
Night becomes darker.
Promisors broke their
Glasses of alcohol
When wine flowed out
From your eyes."....... Hoseok
Hoseok sang and people sang along their commander not noticing the shyness all over their Royal Prince.

"What a death
His words are,
Strikes direct on heart
Without any noise."......Jimin

People were habitual of the healthy flirting in the pack but Jungkook finds it more amusing as he heard the commander's next words.

"His black hairs
Waved in such a way,
Like a black snake 
Grizzled in the sky.".....Hoseok

"Don't make my heart
Flutter like that,
Let me live,
Brave one."........Jimin

Jimin ended the war of words and caressed his blushing cheeks making Jungkook smile brightly. He will tease him later. But he flinched lightly when Taehyung circled around him and picked his golden veil's fringes.

"Uphold the fringes
Of your golden veil,
Don't show your fluffy eyes
While laughing.
The result of these
Is not good for this world,
I don't believe pretty one's
Like you."........Taehyung
 
Jungkook caught up with his Alpha's eyes and he forgot to sing. But he quickly recovered and took back his veil from his Alpha's hold.

"Whenever you look
At my eyes,
Lightening falls
All over me.
Mystery of these eyes
Is becoming a death of me.
The first time you
Showed your eyes,
My heart made a
Fool out of me."........Jungkook

"For God's sake,
Stop flirting with me.
Let me live,
Delicate one."......... Taehyung

Jungkook heard those words right behind his ears and he shuddered in his position. But he is more stronger than this, 

"Always stabbed me
With your sword of inconstancy,
Always doubting the faithfulness
Of my heart.".......Jungkook

"These serpents like 
Red tresses,
These poisonous eyes,
Scream a flirt, not a faith.
One won't even 
Crave for water,
If get bitten by you."........Taehyung

Jungkook gaped at his Alpha, feeling somehow offended, I am not a snake, I am a wolf. But he calmed down as he knows one of the themes of his Alpha is accusing, So he will use his themes wisely too. Jungkook smiled and sing further

"One will get rob badly
If fallen for you.
His innocency 
Will become foolishness,
He has to wander
With his broken heart."........Jungkook

Jungkook straightened his veil around him and smiled when saw people around him enjoying along with them.

"I know the true
Face of yours.
Under this fake love facade
Hating is what you do." ........Taehyung

Taehyung was looking at the thick clouds when he was singing, his voice becoming darker. His words are turning harsher but Jungkook is a tough competitor.

"If not me
Then go somewhere else
To heal your wounded heart.
Let me live,
Treasured one.".........Jungkook

Alpha looked down and Jungkook looked at him, whenever their eyes met, Jungkook found himself lost in them, those grey blank orbs were saying something to him.

"But your hearts
Are bounded,
So why hesitating
For falling in love?"........A pack member

Jungkook heard someone say in the crowd but he didn't pay any attention, his all attention was taken by the male that was standing too close to him. Up to the point that Jungkook will look down and his head will touch Taehyung's chest.

"This false display of emotion,
False act of love,
Your eyes are delusional
So their love."........Taehyung

Jungkook blinked his eyes slowly, Taehyung's warm breaths were falling on his veils. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath before opening them again.

"These grey orbs,
These black attires,
One day will surely bring
Hell on earth.
Affecting me like,
No one did before.
This unbelievable gentleness,
This tortuous walk."......Jungkook

"Don't show me 
This flirtatious act,
Don't teach me
Your ways of lovingness.
Drape this trap
On someone else.
Let me live,
Precious one."........Taehyung

Jungkook was staring straight into those blank eyes, only the veil kept the separation between them, their breaths were merging together and Jungkook knew the next words by his heart, his voice was low and soft when he sang, 

"Don't want to
Leave you behind.
Don't want to
Stay away anymore.
I will cast the spell
Of heavens, for you.
Let me live with you,
Immortal one."......Jungkook

Jimin clapped loudly wiping his uncontrolled tears, the people joined him eagerly. And all of them along with Jimin and the commander screamed loudly, "Token of love! Token of love!"

Jungkook was still staring at Taehyung, unphased by his surroundings, he doesn't know what's the meaning of Token of love but maybe his Alpha knew it.

Taehyung blinked his eyes and placed his hand on the back of Jungkook's head. He leaned down and Jungkook's eyes got closed. 

Jungkook felt a pair of lips on his forehead, wavering over his veil, a warmth covered his heart like someone wrapped him in the softest and warmest blanket. 

Jungkook kept his trembling fingers over the black cloak of Taehyung's chest. The hot breath of his Alpha was tickling the insides of Jungkook in the best way possible. He sighed shakily and bit back a whine when Taehyung pulled away. 

Jungkook doesn't know that by Token of love, he will receive the purest thing from his alpha.

"Yeonjun, Bring that white pitcher I gave you in Lunar. Let's find out How many heirs Eclipse will receive in future." Jimin said loudly, making the people giggle and laugh with him.

💜💜💜💜💜💜💜.
