I love you all💜.

The way Yoongi pulled him inside his cabin, Commander knew it was hinting something serious. Yoongi left his wrist when they reached a space of his cabin where two chairs were placed in front of a fireplace. 

"Is something wrong?" The Commander asked politely, however, his own head was swirling with many thoughts.

"You tell me, Commander. If there is something I should have known." Yoongi asked back. 

They were standing far away from each other. One was standing behind the chairs while another was close to the door. They both were afraid, after all, who doesn't feel the fear of the future? 

What the future holds for them, no one knows. They can only just walk over the hints step by step, their destination was already destined by the moon goddess.

And both of them were mature enough to know the solution to this as well. There is only one solution… Honesty. And that's what Yoongi was demanding from his mate, nothing but honesty.

Hoseok looked down over the rings, he was wearing over his fingers, his thumb was continuously playing with them, sometimes flicking, sometimes rotating their shell, a gesture of hesitation and nervousness, as Yoongi noticed in these two days.

But Yoongi's patience was running out of his hands, he doesn't want to get fooled around anymore.

"If you love the Royal Prince, you can say it to my face right away," Yoongi said in a calm manner but his voice was strict. It threw away all the thoughts that were wandering in Hoseok's mind and his focus came back on the red-haired Beta. 

"If you both love each other, there is nothing wrong with it. Instead of hiding it just because some mate popped up in the picture, you both should stand for each other." 

Hoseok isn't believing anything that his ears were listening to. How? How in the heavens, this Beta come to know about them? Are they this obvious? Has he become this weak that everyone can read him openly or is it just this Beta?

"It's not like that, Yoongi-ssi. I-..." Hoseok closed his eyes and took a deep breath. His mate deserves to know.

"The feelings I have for the Royal Prince are only mine. We don't share any bond between us, I haven't even confronted the Prince about this. But Yes, I have feelings for him and I will not lie about it to you." The Commander said. So simple truth but it crushed Yoongi's heart beyond any recovery.

Yoongi couldn't look at his mate anymore so he averted his gaze but it didn't stop his mind from rolling out in gear.

"I don't know how Eclipsers are still oblivious to this, maybe because your ancestors never seized it in your history books but my dear mate, you are already mated."  Yoongi said it with so much finality that it made Hoseok breathless.

"I am not. I haven't mated anyone, I swear on my-"

"You have a mating mark!" Yoongi exclaimed. His voice was contracted, hurt but He has become an expert in hiding it by now.

"I don't," Hoseok said. His heart was about to burst, the red-haired Beta was holding so much hurt in his eyes that his wolf started howling to comfort his mate. 

Yoongi closed his eyes and let the first frustrated tear fall out of his eyes. He wiped it away and walked towards his mate only to hold his wrist. He opened his mate's cuffs and let the sleeve fall up to his sleeve before showing his mate his marked wrist.

"Since when have you been carrying this tooth mark?" Yoongi asked slowly.

Hoseok's eyes landed on his wrist. It was the healing mark Prince Jimin gave him during the war. He looked up, eyes wide in bewilderment. He was too shocked to say anything. But his mate's eyes were turning from brown to orange, flickering in between, which meant his wolf wanted to take over, it must have wanted to protect his human form.

"8 years ago." He replied with teary eyes.

"And it didn't fade away. Do you want any other proof?" Yoongi asked, his heart was at the bay of bleeding but his eyes were stern.

Hoseok’s eyes were fixed on the mark as he shook his head,” But If that’s true, the Royal Prince would have told me. We would have felt the bond but there is nothing. There is……my wolf doesn't feel anything about the bond.”

Yoongi raised his hand in the air just wanting to stop the Commander from saying further,” I don't know what could have happened and what not. This is something you both should discuss with each other. All I can comprehend is you are already mated and when a werewolf got marked by an unfated mate, his fated one was left alone.”

“And I am fine with this. Whatever it is, whether a bond by fate or love, it's still a bond.” Yoongi turned away from the Commander, his back facing his mate.

“But I… I am not fine. I can't just leave you behind to chase my love, you are my mate. I am not this selfish, Please. '' Hoseok stared at the back of his mate with defeat.

A sad chuckle left from Yoongi’s lips, he was looking up so that the stream of tears wouldn't be able to rain down, if it was possible Yoongi would have hid these tears in the depth of the ocean just so his mate would not feel bad for leaving him.

“You don't have any choice, mate. As quoted, The pain of rejection is less than from breaking a mated bond. I will survive but I dont think Your Highness would. So choose him. Save him by rejecting me.” Yoongi closed his eyes and let those tears blur his vision.

Hoseok felt the longingness in Yoongi’s voice, he felt something painful in his heart. 
His wolf snarled at him for hurting his mate. He couldn't help his steps which were approaching Yoongi silently. Yoongi opened his eyes when he felt a hand wrapped around his wrist and a head placed on his shoulder. 

Yoongi tilted his head to the left, watching how some black wavy hairs of his mate fell on his shoulder effortlessly. He gulped and raised his head, wanting a first and last from his mate. It will not be much right? Yoongi will let his mate reject him after that.

His hand was about to touch those hairs but got stopped when the thought of an angel came into his mind. No, I don't deserve this, he belongs to Prince, only to him. His hand fell back to its previous position and pressed his lips in a thin line, his wolf was screaming inside, howling in agony but Yoongi ignored it.

“You should go. Consciously or unconsciously, You are marked. I… I am sure Your highness will accept you once he recognizes his mark.” Yoongi whispered. 

But the hold on his wrist got tightened even more. Yoongi let out a shaky breath,” We met just two days ago, It's not gonna hurt that much. Don't worry.” 

A small sad smile spread on his lips when he felt the head on his shoulder nodding negatively. But that smile wiped when he felt the first contraction in his heart. The separation will hurt more if Yoongi keeps in contact with his mate.

“Let go. Please.” Yoongi whispered. He moved his hand trying to remove the touch of his mate. But the next moment a gasp left his mouth when Hoseok left his hand and wrapped his arms around him.

“I will not. I can’t.” Hoseok whispered back. No matter how much he loves Prince Jimin, just the thought of rejecting his mate squeezed his soul in the most painful way.

“There might be other solutions. There should be. But I’m not rejecting you. I don't want to.” Those words felt like cold medicine on Yoongi’s aching heart. And this time his hands didn't hesitate to touch Hoseok's hairs affectionately. His fingers moved without any direction between the threads of wavy hairs.

“Please, be by my side. I know this is the most selfish thing one can ask but please accompany me.” Yoongi heard his mate’s voice before the Commander pulled away and turned Yoongi towards him.

“Let’s go to Prince Jimin. Together. He must have the answers we are searching for.” The pleading look in his mate’s eyes made Yoongi weaker. He would be able to spend some more time with his mate anyway, even if for the last time.

He nodded his head and Hoseok closed his eyes in relief. He opened them quickly and took Yoongi’s hand in his before entwining their fingers with each other.

“Let’s go.” The Commander said with a finality in his voice and Yoongi squeezed their hand grip in response. Maybe it will be the path of rejection or acceptance for him but Yoongi can climb mountains of pain if in the end, he would be able to see that heart shaped smile of his mate again. He is gone for his mate but his mate didn't. Not now at least and he knew this too.

-

In the kitchen, Jimin was filling a glass of water for himself. His conversation with his brother left him anxious and restless to cry in his room alone, all the pressed memories flowed in front of his eyes in the moment of one second. His eyes were aching and he didn't need to look into the mirror to see the swelling around the corners. 

He brought the glass to his lips and chugged down the water. It was curable for his dry throat but didn't do anything to the desertness of his heart. He closed his eyes and sighed some deep breaths to calm down his restless nerves.

He sniffed lightly, his little sensitive nose now has a permanent shade of pink. After placing the glass back on the shelf, Jimin looked out of the window. The darkness was spreading in the vast sky signalling the arrival of the night soon. He wonders when Jungkook will come back from the outskirts, he just wishes it didn't take long.

Jimin turned around and walked out of the kitchen. The hallway was quiet besides the soldiers around the corners; there was no one in sight as everybody went to their respective homes already, to spend time with their mates.

His eyes landed at the end of the hallway and his legs stopped walking abruptly making half of his hair fall on his shoulder. At the end of the hallway, a person was standing whom Jimin was trying his hardest to ignore for the past two days. He was not alone but by his side, his mate was standing with him.

The Commander’s heart ached when he witnessed the puffy eyes of the Royal omega and Yoongi felt a sudden urge to cure the redness of his right away. It was a confusing bond but the three of them became restless as soon as they saw each other. 

Jimin’s eyes fell on their bonded grips of hands but before it could hurt the omega, Yoongi pulled his hand away from his mate’s hold. Jimin looked at Yoongi and Yoongi looked down in respect.

As much as Jimin wanted to make the fastest run away from here, his feet made him walk toward the couple. The Commander and his mate bowed when the Royal Omega stood in front of them. 

All the words Hoseok was reciting in his head got jumbled as soon as his eyes laid on the omega. They were just standing while staring at each other and Yoongi felt left out. He tried to step back a little but a grip of his mate on his hand stopped him once again.

And this time Hoseok spoke,” I… we found something unknown today. And only you can answer us, Your Highness. Please, if you don't mind.” His voice was polite as always.

Jimin blinked his eyes, he was holding the lapels of his hanfu tightly around his hands. “What is it about?” He asked, feeling brave when his voice didn't wobble as he expected.

The commander went silent for a moment before he turned his head towards his mate, Yoongi nodded his head and Hoseok averted his eyes towards Prince Jimin again,” It's about…. Us.” He whispered.

Jimin felt a tug on his heart, he looked directly at the commander and this time even the rapid blinking couldn't help the dampness of his eyes. He explored the words the commander is letting out and he concluded there is no any ‘us’ between them anymore, there never was.

“I’m sorry but I have some work,” Jimin said and walked past Yoongi, breaking Hoseok’s heart.

But Yoongi’s voice stopped him, “I know everything, Your Highness. Commander confessed to me. We won’t cross any limit, I promise. But you can’t leave him in the middle of everything. I am sorry but I’m afraid you need to listen to us.” He was staring ahead, not meeting Prince Jimin’s gaze.

Jimin was staring at the side profile of the younger one. How? How can Yoongi stay beside his mate after knowing everything? After knowing that his mate has another love interest than him. From where this courage came, Yoongi is standing still against him. Maybe this is an advantage of better upbringings, for once in his life Jimin blamed his parents for not teaching him how to bear hardships with a stone heart. Why hadn't they stopped him from crying his pain away?

“Follow me,” Jimin said, grabbing at his last stray of beliefs so he couldn't break apart in front of anyone.

Yoongi and Hoseok followed the Royal Prince until they entered a vacant room on the ground floor. Yoongi stood far away from them, just beside the door. Jimin was standing against the wall and Hoseok was left alone in the centre of the room. At his back, his mate was standing with head down and at his front, his love was standing with painful eyes.

“I am sorry, Your Highness. But spare me cause I am about to speak without abbreviations.” Hoseok said with his teary eyes, his chest was heaving but he controlled his breaths.

“For me, it was the first day of my joining as the Commander when I realised my feelings for you. I…..I had admired you from my training years though. But I hid my feelings because as the Commander of Eclipse, It was inappropriate to the duty and your dignity.” Hoseok gulped and continued.

Jimin’s gaze lowered as his eyes became heavy because of the fat tears that were rolling down over his rosy cheeks. He had dreamt about this moment, the moment where the Commander of his heart would confess to him but not even in his nightmare he had thought that the situation would be turned so horrifically.

“Then on a fortunate day, I got injured severely and you came. Your eyes were holding the fear of losing me, your shaking hands while treating me gave me a thought against my will that maybe…. Maybe my feelings are not one sided. Because I had never heard that the Royal Healer of Eclipse ever hesitated to treat someone before.” Hoseok said and Jimin pressed his wrist against his nose to stop his hiccups.

“Royal His Majesty said that only a healer’s bite can cure me and you didn't spend another moment before giving me the curing pain on my wrist. From that moment onwards, we lived for each other unknowingly. But we can't do this now, Prince.” Hoseok whispered and Jimin nodded his head vigorously, he understood.

“I have my mate now. A mate who says that I’m already marked by you as your mark on my wrist never faded.” Hoseok turned toward his mate whose lowered gaze showed how much hurt he was bearing by his confession. He ignored Jimin’s shocked eyes and went toward Yoongi.

“A mate who is ready to get rejected just so we both could live together as mates. Now tell me, Prince, How could I leave this selfless person alone, my wolf is screaming just at the thought of seeing my mate in pain. I can’t.” Hoseok stood beside his mate, taking his hand in his. Yoongi looked up at his mate, for once and all he fell for Beta’s honest confession.

Jimin’s heart aches when he watches them, they look so perfect together.

“This… this can't be…” Jimin was mumbling incoherent words while his hands were staring at them in disbelief. He squeezed his fist around the skirt of his hanfu and stride to Hoseok. With sharp hands he took his hand and lifted his sleeve, his hands started shaking when he saw his teeth marks right there, present on Commander’s wrist just like he left them.

He shook his head repeatedly,” These are not mine. It's not possible. This can't be me.” He felt his head spin but Jimin needs to grasp the touch of reality.

Yoongi and Hoseok were watching the Royal Prince in utter confusion,” Why? Why can't this be possible, Your highness.” Yoongi asked. 

Jimin looked at his surroundings just to focus his mind better but all in vain. He felt like his head was about to burst,” No, nothing. Just know that t-this mark is not mine and a-and I’m happy for you both. I swear on moon goddess I will never try to get in between you two in any way. Please, live happily.” 

Hoseok stopped him from walking away,” Running is not the solution, Prince. You know very well that this mating mark belongs to you. Then why are you denying, why are you not acc-”

“Because that's not possible, Hoseok! In my life I can only love, I can't be chosen as a mate. This must be some infection, let me heal it.” Jimin was sobbing as he lifted his hand towards hoseok.

But Yoongi made Hoseok stand behind him,” It’s your mating mark, An-... Your Highness. Why can't you accept it?”

“That can't be true.”

“Why not?” Both of them asked fiercely, making the poor omega whimpering with tears. Jimin shook his head as he fell to his knees.

“I...I am cursed! Cursed of not having any m-mate, curse of b-be-eing alone for my entire life.” Jimin was stuttering badly, he was holding his chest like it was bleeding.

Both males stood stunned as they watched the wailing omega on the floor.

“I am w-weighing this curse from 1700 years and That’s why my wolf is not normal like others. He doesn’t let out his original scent normally, he never felt any kind of bond before. No mate attraction, no sense of loneliness, nothing. He felt nothing.” Jimin was gritting his teeth to stop his continuous stammering.

The commander’s mouth fell open along with Yoongi’s. They don't know what they should be more shocked at, over the fact that their Royal Prince is cursed so brutally or the original age of the omega?

Jimin wiped his face quickly and stood up on his feet. “That's why I am saying, all these things are meaningless. The truth is that I can't be someone’s mate even if I want to be. So… it was never a problem from the start, you both can live together without any worries.”

“Now Please excuse me,” Jimin said with his closed eyes and opened them to walk away.

“But I know your scent, Your highness,” Yoongi said.

“Me too.” The Commander replied.

Jimin let out a small laugh,” This is not possible, Yoongi. I might smell like ordinary omegas.” But both Betas shook their heads in denial.

The Royal Omega was beyond confused now and the constant pain in his eyes is not helping at all,” Then what it is? My scent that you feel?”

Hoseok and Yoongi looked at each other before replying together,” Lavenders.” 

And Jimin became motionless. The tears stuck cheeks became pale, full plump lips parted to say something but nothing came out. His eyes were moving between two males frantically. 

“H-how?” Some words choked out from his throat.

“H-”

The knocks on the door disturbed Jimin’s next questions and his mind came to a halt. He sniffed the air lightly,” Jungkook?”

Yes, Hyungnim. It’s me.

Jimin wiped his cheeks with his sleeves and turned around to open the door. And indeed Jungkook was standing there, but his outfit made Jimin furrowed. He is sure it’s night time but Jungkook was wearing a royal blue hanfu attire along with his veil and crown.

“What happened, Luna?”

Jungkook looked up and despite being under a veil, Jimin found him hesitant. “Actually… Alpha said to me to summon you in the courtroom. It’s urgent.” Jungkook said.

“Did something happen? It’s very late.” Jimin said as his eyes wandered inside the room.

“Alpha called you all, His Majesty said he wants to meet.” And this time Jimin caught the guilt in Jungkook’s voice. He looked up with wide eyes, which meant only one thing that his brother knew now.

Jungkook’s voice became low as he whispered,” I am sorry, Hyungnim. Alpha said-”

“It's okay. If not from you, he will know anyway.” Jimin didn't need to look behind as both Betas were standing beside him already.

Jungkook looked at all of them, all of their eyes were telling their deepest emotions, he wished them soulful luck and accompanied them towards the courtroom. He believes his Alpha will make everything right.

-

Jungkook stood against the courtroom as the soldiers opened the door for them. All of them went inside. The Royal Alpha was sitting on his throne, a golden fur coat was spread against his thighs and shoulders, one hand was placed against his lips like he was in some deep thought.

He lifted his eyes when the door opened, he leaned back against the back of the throne as four of them approached the throne. Everyone except Jungkook stood in the centre of the courtroom while Jungkook walked a little ahead and stood beside the throne, however Royal luna has his own throne in the courtroom but Jungkook preferred standing as his anxious nature would not let him sit right now.

The Royal Alpha’s eyes examined his brother’s face and his eyes became darker. With a tensed jaw he looked at the Betas who were standing beside his brother with a low gaze. Both of them bowed to the Alpha and resumed their position. But Jimin keeps standing still.

Taehyung stood up from his throne and went in the centre of the courtroom before standing in front of his brother. He extended his hand towards his brother and Jimin knows why he does that. He took a deep breath and gulped down all his thoughts. It's meant to happen, now or never.

Jimin grabbed his brother’s hand and shut his eyes close meanwhile taehyung was staring at him with his grey blank eyes, reading his mind. Although he already knew everything about his brother, but he should know the happenings of the past two days in detail.

Taehyung left his brother’s hand and moved to his right,” Guard Min Yoongi,” He called and Yoongi felt chills in his bones. He didn't raise his head but soon felt a hand on his head. The hand was cold and for a moment Yoongi felt dizzy like all his life passed in front of his eyes again. 

He was breathless when the Royal Alpha decided to remove his hand and moved to his right. Hoseok was staring ahead, his eyes weren't meeting with Alpha’s gaze but his head was up. Taehyung placed his hand on his shoulder and squeezed in a comfortable way. The Commander doesn't feel any dizziness but his eyes got blurry twice.

The Royal Alpha removed his hand and took a step behind. He was looking at them equally and Jimin’s patience was running thin.

“B-brother?” He doesn't want to stutter but the fear of losing his precious ones, is making him suffocate. He knows his brother knew something that he didn't. 

The small pleading in his voice caught Taehyung’s attention immediately but his expression remained the same. Jungkook was holding his breath, he was constantly murmuring silent prayers to the moon goddess. 

And then The Royal Alpha speaks.

“Your mates freed you from the curse.” The voice was monotone but it gives Jimin the biggest happiness in the world. He knows his brother never lies but the poor omega couldn't believe it.

"Mates?" Jimin asked shakily.

The Royal Alpha lifted his hands and gestured towards the two Betas," Yes, fate graced you with two mates, brother."

Yoongi looked up in disbelief while Hoseok's jaw loosened up in shock. Meanwhile, from behind, a happy sneeze left from Jungkook's lips. Jungkook doesn't know about what curse his Alpha was talking about he will ask his hyungnim but for now, he felt utterly happy.

"How? I mean how can this be possible?" Jimin asked as he wiped the stray tears that came out of his eyes.

"Sometimes human forms can't keep up with their wolf forms, You all are oblivious but your wolves have already imprinted on each other." The Alpha said with his deep calm voice.

Jimin gasped and looked at the Betas or…. His mates who were holding the same expressions as him.

Before his brother can let out another string of questions, Taehyung speaks again," Wolf imprints on another wolf for two sole deep reasons. One, when he feels affection towards the other and second, when he feels protective towards the other."

"Your wolf imprinted on Hoseok's wolf during his injury and despite my warnings, you have etched your fangs on his wrist deeper than necessary by your affection. It left a permanent mark too."

"And here Guard Min Yoongi's wolf imprinted on your wolf with a sheer diligence of protectiveness during Lunar visit." 

"And as soon as the fated werewolves meet, the trilogy becomes complete and you get freed from your curse." The Royal Alpha blinked calmly when he heard another sneeze from behind.

"But My wolf is not feeling anything, brother. He can't feel any bond." Jimin said anxiously, his fingers were shaking under his big sleeves.

"It's not only about you. Am I right, Yoongi?" The Alpha called and Yoongi lifted his neck with a jerk. 

Yoongi looked puzzled when he replied," Yes, Your Majesty."

"Your wolves need to be healed. Let them out more often. The more you will come closer to your wolves, the more they will be able to heal. But I can prove your bond right here, right now."

Taehyung knows his brother still doesn't feel satisfied and it's not his fault, after being alone for more than 1700 years everyone has the right to become paranoid and disprove the reality.

"Let your wolves surface over your human forms." The Royal Alpha ordered and all of them closed their eyes. Jungkook walked closer to his Alpha and stood beside him.

"Open your eyes." 

As ordered they opened their eyes, their eyes were emitting their wolve's eyes colours but as soon as their eyes met with each other, their eyes changed into two totally different colours.

Jungkook stared at them with wide amazed eyes, it was purely a miracle.

Jimin's pale blue eyes were now reflecting two colours, one was red while another was orange.

Yoongi's orange eyes were reflecting two different colours, one was pale blue while another was red.

Same for the Commander, his red eyes were now blazing with two colours as well, one was orange while the other was pale blue.

And for the first time in two days, Jimin cried happy tears. He closed his eyes and let his wolf back down. Others did the same.

He opened his eyes and hugged his brother tightly. Jimin sobbed badly on his chest, letting out the agony of centuries, the pain of loneliness, the plague of wearing white. His cries echoed in the almost empty courtroom, but the Royal Alpha didn't calm him down. He just raised one hand and placed it on top of his brother's head. 

Jimin cried harder in his brother's embrace. His brother was, still is and forever will be his world. 

Yoongi looked at his mate beside him and Hoseok didn't hesitate to grab his hand before lacing his fingers into his.

Jungkook was crying happy tears, he was right. His Alpha made everything right. Because of him, he gets to see a miracle called the trilogy and witnesses the special bond of two brothers. 

But it's like his nose was not in his favour today, he felt the familiar tickling again but he quickly squeezed the opening of his nose and sighed when the sneeze went away silently.

Jimin calmed down after moments but he knew there were more tears to cry but he didn't want to make everyone stare at him in pity. He pulled away and smiled at his brother, the Royal Alpha pulled his hand back after tapping his head twice. 

Jimin turned around and looked at his mates and his eyes again welled up but this time he let out his brightest smile making both of their heart's stop. Jimin pointed towards the entrance of the courtroom and both Betas bowed to the Royal couple before following his mate outside.

Jungkook waved his head towards them cutely and the next moment,

sneeze

He controlled but again,

sneeze

He sneezed one more time before everything went black in front of his eyes. He blinked rapidly but didn't see anything, he used his hands and felt something had been placed over his head. It felt like soft fur. 

Jungkook dragged it down and it fell around his arms. Jungkook opened his eyes and his cheeks blazed pink, it was his Alpha's fur coat. He looked around and found the courtroom completely empty. He looked down in his arms again and wrapped the coat around him.

It was warm. No, it was the warmest Jungkook has ever felt. He brought the furs to his nose and sniffed his mate's scent, his face blooming with a bashful smile.

Jungkook didn't know the fur coat wasn't his Alpha's care but a gift of separation.
