Don't read in rush, you will get confused. Take your time and enjoy💜.

Jungkook closed the door behind him as soon as he reached his chamber. He stumbled on his feet and clutched the curtains behind him with both of his hands. 

He was panting with short breaths, bending down a little when the heat in his stomach curled his muscles in pain. His hands around the curtain were turning red by the tight grip he was clenching.

The pain was intensifying with each passing moment. Jungkook sees white when he tries to take a step ahead. He stopped himself and his body slid down the door without any strength. 

His hands reached up to his crown, discarding it slowly and with utmost care. He undresses the veil and folds it down with hollow breaths. 

The pain in his abdomen is not normal and Jungkook knows this too.

His heat passed just two months ago and now he is in heat again. It's far from normal. Usually, the pain was bearable, it was not like this as if someone was pulling his intestines and veins in the worst way possible.

Luna closed his eyes and arched his back to lean against the door. He can do this, it's nothing, it will pass by… Jungkook was thinking calmly despite his trembling appearance.

The heat he was suffering from right now… is triggered by his Alpha's rut pheromones. His wolf is responsible for this, only if he could have ignored that sweet scent around his Alpha, he would have been fine.

But we couldn't ignore it, Jungkook. I used all of my controlling strength last night when Alpha slept in our room. I protected us last night. But today when you hugged him suddenly, I was too weak. His wolf voiced out his thoughts.

I apologise, kookie. It's not your fault. I couldn't control it as well.

It's just a matter of time, We will recover from it soon. We need to bear this for 4-5 days, then we will be fine. 

His wolf knew that his human soul is far more persistent than him but today he needs to break his delusional power of bearing everything alone. 

You also know it's not true, Jungkook. It's not an ordinary heat that we are bearing from the age of 16. This heat is triggered by the most powerful wolf around the world. I…. I can sense that I will need him.

We will need him.

No! No, kookie. That's not how we have imagined the companionship of our Alpha. It's an act of cowardice and we are not one. We are warriors. 

Both of them winced in pain when the fire started igniting inside the body.

We both know that Alpha doesn't have such feelings towards us. 

Yet, Jungkook, yet.

Just calling for his help would be so unfair to his pride, so unfair to my pride. I don't want Alpha to see us in this vulnerable state without his desire, without his love. Forcing a wolf to help his mate in heat is so shameful. Before this humiliating night comes, I would like to kill myself. 

Jungkook, he is our Alpha. The wolf whimpered. He would not do something that he doesn't want. 

Yeah, B-but he will do anything if he feels responsible for it. And that's why I'm so afraid, I don't want our vulnerability to become a burden on his chest. Are you… do you want to be a responsibility for our Alpha? Jungkook hugged his waist with both of his hands, curling them inside to bear the pain.

No, I refuse to be a responsibility to my mate. But Jungkook, we can't survive this heat alone, we need him, even if it's his scent, presence or touch, anything… but we need our Alpha.

Jungkook understands his wolf, it doesn't matter how much he wants to not believe him but he knows his wolf's voice has a virtue of truth. 

But it's also a fact that he will not call for his Alpha. How can he call him? With which relation? With what authority? He has no right. Just because he is in heat, he cannot throw away the fact that his Alpha hasn't accepted him yet.

Forcing his Alpha for something he hasn't accepted fully felt like using him and Jungkook can never, never in his dreams even, think of using his Alpha. He will choose the alternative, he can bear more pain but he will not be able to bear the disappointment in his Alpha's eyes for him.

He has his Alpha's clothes inside the second closet. He decided to use them.

We have some of Alpha's clothes inside the second closet. I c-can make a nest for us, it will help, right?

Yeah, but you are in no condition to do that Jungkook.

I will gain some strength just give me a moment to rest. Then I will get up to pull the clothes out of the closet.

His wolf whimpered in response. But Jungkook sighed when he didn't hear anything from him, he knew that it would be harder for kookie as wolves suffered more internally.

But they can't be selfish now. Their relationship with their Alpha is like standing on a thin ice layer, one wrong step and everything will be crushed into frosting flakes of ice and that will make both of them bleed. 

So Jungkook needs to be careful. 

He took a last deep breath, puffing out some of the pain out of his stomach as he moved his body to stand up against the door.

As soon as Jungkook stood up on his feet, sharp chills of pain struck his abdomen and he crumbled down to his knees. His feet were losing strength, toes felt numb against his heels. 

But Jungkook was ambitious, he kept his hands on the ground and tried to stand up again, ignoring the burning coil swirling up to his chest. He wasn't able to move his legs an inch when his body fell on his knees again.

This time Jungkook felt the skin over his knees scraping against the ground, the front of his skirt got ripped by the surface of the floor. Jungkook finds out his legs are not paralysed when he senses the throbbing pain over his knees.

But this pain was nothing against the volcano building inside his stomach. He just needs to go up to the closet and then towards the bed. Yeah, he just needs to do that.

So, Jungkook decides to crawl. 

Pushing his body into a kneeling position, Jungkook moved forward with his hands one by one. He took deep breaths and pulled his feet towards him. All of his weight was on his knees now and with every step, his torn knees hurt badly. 

Jungkook kept crawling, unaware of small blood stains his knees were leaving on the floor. Being an omega, his skin is more delicate than other wolves. He grabbed the knob of the closet tightly with his hands and used his full strength to pull himself up on his feet. 

He kept his burning head on the cold surface of the closet and sighed. It's difficult to hold himself up when his legs are trembling but it will pass by soon. Jungkook nodded to himself, rubbing his head over a more cold surface. Hot burning skin found a second of peace against the icy surface. 

He twisted the knob and opened the closet slowly. His body was feeling high on emotions, so when the door of the closet opened, Jungkook's eyes turned blue immediately.

The scent coming from those black attires sent Jungkook's head in a spinning drive. He closed his eyes, brimming himself with the scent until his wolf became peaceful around it. He opened them when they turned back to black colour.

Keeping himself straight while holding the knob with one hand, Jungkook touched the clothes one by one. Shivers were rolling down his spine when his fingers drew the clothes out of the closet, collecting all of them in his arms.

He closed the door and whimpered in pain. He needs to let go of this knob if he wants to reach up to the bed. Jungkook knows that. He braced himself for pain and lost his hold around the knob.

He sprawled on the floor as a weightless body, curled up in between all the clothes. He reached out to bed with a hand pressed against the floor but the pain in his abdomen struck again.

Jungkook kept laying on the floor until the strike of pain went down, he felt itching under his nails which were new for him. 

He became successful in crawling himself to the bed but now he needs to climb himself up. First, he placed all the clothes on the bed and when he put the last pants of his Alpha on the bed, he felt his eyes brimming with unwanted tears.

He spread his palms over the white sheet before crumbling the sheet in between his fingers in a tight hold. He pulled the sheet towards himself with a gut coiling strength so that he can push himself on the bed.

But the sheets turned out to be tucked weakly, when Jungkook pulled at them, all of it left the edges of the bed and slipped towards the force.

Jungkook trembled in disappointment, he pulled the entire sheets leaving only the bare mattress on the bed. 

All of the clothes and the sheets themselves were compiled around Jungkook's feet, making a big pile.

Holding determination in his eyes, Jungkook put the clothes on the mattress and spread his palms again to clutch on the mattress but the mattress was too silky. He tried again but his hold was nothing but slippery.

He tried again and again until the itching under his nails rubbed against the mattress. His nails were short to clutch on something but soon he felt the surface of the mattress tearing out. 

He pushed himself up a little to look at his hands, he shivered when he found black long claws in place of his nails. He closed his eyes and thanked his wolf for helping him. 

He dug his now long nails in the torn mattress and pushed himself up with every fibre of power he had left in his body. He got rolled on the mattress and found himself staring at the ceiling of his chamber. 

Short breaths were falling out of his parted cherry lips, he kept staring at the ceiling until he felt the pain recoiling again, this time approaching the under part of his abdomen.

He pulled himself up in a sitting position and spread the clothes in a perfect circle around him. He made a layer of clothes under him, flattening them up to their height. Soon, he was surrounded by the strong scent of his Alpha.

Clutching his stomach tightly, Jungkook laid into his nest. His hand went into his red tresses and plucked out the pin, he placed it out of his nest on the corner of the bed. 

His hairs fell on his face freely, protecting the tears coming out of his eyes, hiding the flames coming out of his cheeks.

The fire in his stomach has now spread into his entire body. The forehead was bursting with high fever, Jungkook was feeling heavy, very heavy.

His ears were not hearing anything, eyes filled with dizziness to look properly.

His ears, eyelids, lips, breasts, even the claws on his fingers felt heavy. Everything was dreading him down into the mattress and like a freely falling body, Jungkook got drowned into the nest of his Alpha's scent.

But before he could sleep out his pain, a voice in his mind brought him into consciousness. 

"-ookie, Jungkookie, can you hear my voice? Luna, please reply, I am worried." The Royal omega was losing his mind. He was knocking on the door for the past half an hour constantly without any response. He called for Jungkook so many times but the room was dead silent as if there was no one inside.

"H-hyungnim." Jungkook mindlink back after hearing the resonating sound in his mind. 

"Thank goddess, you replied. I was calling for you for half an hour, have you not listened? How are you, now? Taehyung told me about your heat, it got triggered by his pheromones, right? You have had your periodical heat two months back."

The wolf inside Jungkook whimpered when he found out his Alpha knew about his heat and hadn't come to him. He wailed in agony, feeling rejected in his most vulnerable state.

Jungkook was torn between how to reply to Royal omega and how to make his wolf understand at the same time.

"Kookie, how much proof do you want from our Alpha, when will you believe that he is not like others?" Jungkook felt tears streaming down on his cheeks.

"He will not come until we call him. Our Alpha doesn't see us as lustful objects… your wolfmate will not betray your privacy until you want him to. Don't feel rejected, it will cause us more pain."

The wolf whined in misery, he sat on his stomach drawing his paws closer to his snout and whimpered.

"-ou listening to me? Luna?"

"I'm sorry, hyungnim but I didn't hear anything. My heat got triggered, Kookie was feeling weak, he couldn't control the effect of pheromones. It's painful right now but it will pass by." Jungkook whispered in his mind, too tired to speak loudly.

But all the replies he got were alarmed with concern, "Jungkookie, are you sleeping? Don't sleep! If you are thinking of sleeping off your heat, drop it right now. Luna, this heat is not normal, you can't sleep without your Alpha's presence, it will send your wolf into a famine sleep and no one will know when your wolf will be able to wake up."

Jungkook opened his tired eyes when the words registered in his mind. He blinked slowly before spacing out in the chamber.

"Kookie," he breathed out. 

No response.

"Kookie, you heard it too. We can't sleep, what is this famine sleep? You didn't tell me before."

The wolf opened his eyes and lifted his snout from under his paws," I didn't know." He said before placing his head onto his front paws again, his wolf sounded sad and alone.

And it made Jungkook sadder.

Before he could say some comforting words to his wolf he heard the Royal omega talking frantically through the mind link, "Call for Taehyung, please. He will help you and will not cross the line you will draw to him. Please, call for him."

"I don't want to." Jungkook coiled his legs up to his chest and hugged his ruptured knees, the heat in his stomach was now throbbing in every vein of his body.

"I don't want to call my mate during my heat when he doesn't have that kind of desire towards me and my wolf. Hyungnim, it will be unbearable for me. I don't want to show my vulnerable state when I know it will not get reciprocated by my Alpha." Jungkook said finally and squeezed his hug more tightly around the knees.

'Your pride makes you more exceptional, Luna. But please consider your wolf as well. Once you fall asleep, your connection with your wolf would break off up to a temporary period.' Jimin said hurriedly, trying his hardest to make Jungkook understand.

"We will not fall asleep, I will keep my wolf awake. We can bear it, it's just for four to five days-"

'I think you do not understand the triggered term here, Jungkook. Have you not studied about it? Has that bad excuse of your mother not told you that This heat is only curable when it would get drawn out of your body.' Jimin was losing his patience while standing outside the door, he can't go inside knowing that disturbing an omega in his nest is a crime in Eclipse.

And entering his nest without his permission is a death wish.

On the other side of the door, Jungkook went rigid in his position. For a second he forgot the insult the Royal omega threw at his mother and his mind wandered in not so good thoughts. His mother really left him uneducated about certain aspects of life but he didn't expect her to lie to him about something as important as triggered heat. Jungkook remembered She refused him to read those books about omega heats and had said it's just similar to normal heat.  

Jungkook hasn't felt this clueless in his life. What will the Royal omega think of him, an uneducated child that doesn't know anything about famine sleep?

'I apologise, Luna. My language of abbreviation wasn't appropriate. I am just feeling worried about both of you."

"What? Both?"

Jimin took a deep breath and braced himself, it's not a time for losing control, he needs to be calm.

'Yeah, both. V and kookie both are courted wolves, fated mates. The heat will keep going on until your Alpha draws it out from you and if it hurts your pride and you refuse to help each other then both of you…will lose your wolves. What do you think Luna, If Kookie went into famine slumber what would V do? He would have no choice but to follow his mate."

"And the practicality of the situation is that you both can't lose your wolves. The responsibility of the Entire empire is placed on both of your shoulders, and without your wolves, you both are disabled to fulfil them."

"It's time to break the pride for your people, Jungkookie. It's time to pay the price of being a luna." Jimin whispered softly.

The thoughts in Jungkook's mind made him a whimpering mess. He can think about losing his wolf for once but he can't let anything happen to V. No… his Alpha should be present here for Eclipsers along with Taehyung. 

That's the only acceptable ordinance that won against Jungkook's infinite thoughts.

"But h-how would I call him, hyungnim. I… I don't want to come as a responsibility to my mate. How can I force him into something that none of us wants?" Jungkoom heaved a deep breath to control his body from trembling against the pain.

'It will not be a responsibility, Jungkookie. Taehyung is not a person that would take pride in causing you physical pain. He can never be one. He will help you through it as a mate. But you need to take the initiative because Taehyung would stay away from you a mile if you don't call him. Both of us know how our body reacts to our mate's scent in heat. And when your heat is triggered, everything becomes ten times more severe."

Jimin didn't hear anything further from Jungkook. He closed his eyes and sighed against the door.

'The last decision would be all yours, Luna. Right now I am concerned that's why I spoke rationally but I'm not in your shoes. I can't imagine myself as you so I will not contort your decision, whatever it will be. I am just a mind link away if you need anything. I'm passing an order to keep the main packhouse empty with minimal servants for a week.'

~

Inside his library, The Royal Alpha was sitting on his chair with a calm expression. He was reading an old book that he might have repeated for the 265th time. He wasn't surprised at all when his big brother burst into the library with fiery eyes.

"Seven hours passed, Taehyung. You haven't left this library for goddess's sake! What are you even doing here brother when your mate is suffering from incurable pain!"

The Royal Alpha didn't pay his brother any glance, he was immersed in the book, all of him.

Jimin closed his eyes to calm down, stopping himself from sputtering curses at his brother but Taehyung's calmness was hastening Jimin's anger more and more.

Jimin's heart felt tearing into pieces while thinking about Jungkook's wolf, his eyes were dampened when he looked at his brother again," He is Jungkook, brother. Your mate. And right now he is in pain because of you."

Taehyung closed the book and looked up at his brother. He would have said that this is not because of him. Last night he tried to leave the omega's chamber as soon as he could but then…. In the end, Taehyung decided to not say anything, he just stared at his brother who looked close to crying.

"Your wolf is at stake as well. Are you ready to sacrifice V just because you don't want to help your mate in need?" Jimin accused the King.

"You know as well that it's not the truth, Jimin. Calm yourself." Taehyung said to his brother and stood up from the chair to go towards the aisles of books.

"Then why are you here? Why aren't you with Jungkook! You are taking risk-"

"He didn't summon me, that's why I am here." Taehyung completed his talk with one sentence and reached out to a book that was placed on the uppermost shelf. 

Jimin gaped at him in disbelief," It has been seven hours, Taehyung. How could Jungkook not call for you?" 

He gasped in horror soon," what if he has fallen asleep unconsciously? We need to check immediately." Jimin said and turned around to the door but Taehyung's words stopped him.

"He is awake." 

The Royal Alpha took the book and went to his chair again, his black cloak over his shoulder was making his attire shine in the darkness of the library.

Jimin turned around with a frown on his lips," and how did you know that?"

Taehyung didn't reply as he opened his next book over his desk, History of the first warrior on earth, another old book.

Jimin's shoulders slumped in tiredness. What did he expect from these stubborn people? Both are different yet so alike. The path of their togetherness is not simple, He just hoped that both of them would not give up on each other in the middle.

~

Jungkook looked drained from life, cherry lips were turned into pale ones. The red tresses were sticking on his forehead while hugging his back down to his hips. His body was no longer trembling, it had become numb.

Jungkook was calling for his wolf, he knew Kookie was awake, can sense it inside him but his wolf wasn't responsive anymore.

'Are you mad at me?' Jungkook asked.

He knew Kookie was not angry at him after all their thoughts were running in the same direction. Jungkook doesn't know how much time has passed. But seeing the darkness outside, it must be nighttime.

His body was still burning in high fever, burning flames striking his lungs before diving into his abdomen. It was painful and Jungkook wasn't sure how much longer he could endure it alone.

His eyelids were falling shut without his wish, he pushed his hands up to his face and tucked some of the hairs back to his forehead. His fingers were tingling with blood rush, he can't feel his toes but there is a subtle pain on his knees.

His knees should be healed by now, he doesn't know what's happening with his body.

A sheer silence spread in the room when Jungkook's throat made a growling noise, he parted his mouth unable to stop the howl but it wasn't a howl of pain as he expected.

His gums were itching for a while and when Jungkook opened his mouth, he felt sharp fangs hovering over the edges of his bottom lips. The growl was an indication that his wolf was taking control.

But Jungkook refused it. 

His throat made a startling noise again but Jungkook rolled himself on the bed and dug his fangs right into the mattress. 

Everything got blurred after that. In the fight for control, Jungkook won at last but when he opened his eyes, he was shocked. 

He had torn apart half of the mattress, white small flakes of cotton were swimming in the air. Jungkook shuddered when he felt his fangs itching again. His wolf was trying to distract Jungkook from pain but in the end, he would tire himself to sleep.

It was low when Jungkook heaved a moment to breathe and called for the one he is destined with. 

"My Alpha"

It wasn't above a whisper, a dull roaring of his tongue against his vocal cords. A peaceful grumble left from his wolf when the name fell out of his lips.

But the itching in his gums wasn't gone yet, Jungkook closed his eyes and thrashed everything that came against his mouth in pieces.

~

With blazing golden eyes, Taehyung closed the book he was reading. He heard the voice clearer than any announcement, pushing his chair behind he kept sitting on it while his mind raced in thoughts.

He closed his eyes and gritted his teeth to stop an urge to growl. The colour of his eyes was fluctuating in between grey and gold but Taehyung ignored it for now.

He grabbed his book and went out of the library in the direction of the Royal hallway. 

When he reached the chamber, his features were back to blank, his body was radiating calm energy that was soon surrounded by the high scent of rosemary.

Jungkook felt the presence of his Alpha against the door before he heard the knocking, but the knocks didn't wait for permission. And Jungkook was thankful because he wasn't in the state to give one.

The Royal Alpha entered the chamber, seeming unfazed with the overpowering scent of the omega but his eyes went wide when he saw the condition of the room.

It wasn't something he had expected, there was a pile of his clothes on the bed, torn down in rags. Half of the mattress was thrashed, flakes of cotton were floating inside the chamber, some of them stuck inside the omega's red hairs, it looked as if the omega had just played in the snow.

He heard a loud grumble arising inside the heap of clothes and what made him stop in his steps was a blue-eyed omega staring at him longingly.

The omega has tears over the edges of his blue eyes, the sight was mesmerizing when Taehyung's eyes turned golden. The emotions weren't reciprocated but as soon as Jungkook whimpered in pain, Taehyung turned his head away.

It wasn't a stuttered breath that left Taehyung's mouth to control himself, no… he will deny it until his death. It was nothing.

Jungkook was laying on his stomach, back arched while shoulders hunched over the elbows on the mattress. His red hair made his features look utterly soft and untouchable. 

Taehyung approached the nearest table, avoiding the tearful gaze of the omega. He was hesitating before speaking, not sure if his voice would be suitable for the omega at this moment or not.

But he decided against it, knowing if he avoided the situation, the omega would slide himself in remorse and he doesn't want that. He doesn't want to hurt the omega during his vulnerable and unarmed condition.

That's an act of cowardice.

The Royal Alpha discarded his rings and unhinged the bracelets one by one, keeping his wrist all bare.

"My wolf wants to apologise, it wasn't his intention to cause unwanted chaos to our mate," Taehyung said finally, holding his voice low.

Our mate… the words echoed inside Jungkook's mind and he preened in relief when his ears finally got blessed to hear something, the building volcano inside his stomach felt no longer painful.

Jungkook pressed his lips shut, he wasn't able to speak at this moment, afraid to voice out some embarrassing sounds so he decided to mind link his Alpha.

'It was no one's fault.' 

Taehyung looked at the omega when he finished undressing his jewels, Jungkook shuddered in fever when he saw his Alpha removing his cloak while walking towards him. 

Jungkook rolled on his back, placing his head over the pile of clothes under his neck. Taehyung jerked his cloak and draped it over Jungkook's trembling body like a warm blanket and Jungkook felt the heavy scent hovering over his body.

It was making him dizzy, lips stuttering to say something.

"Mind link me, you don't have to speak," Taehyung said calmly as he unbuttoned his sleeves before folding them up to his solid arms.

'What should I say in this situation, Alpha? What should I say to not make you more uncomfortable around me?' Jungkook asked innocently, his black doe eyes were staring at the grey ones.

Taehyung sensed the distress around the omega, his eyes holding genuine confusion that only he can solve. 

"Before I enter your nest, draw a line for me. I'll be more comfortable if I know what I am prohibited to do, to touch and speak."  

The Royal Alpha's eyes were earnest Jungkook could tell and his heart also knew where he wanted to draw the limit.

"I have only one request…" Jungkook said and brought his palm against his Alpha to take an oath for him.

Taehyung eyed the omega's hand before looking at him in questioning eyes.

"Don't do anything that your soul won't permit you to."  

The Royal Alpha kept staring at the omega as if he had said something unnatural. Jungkook was stretching his hand towards his mate, all of his pride and dignity rests on this oath. 

Taehyung sat on the corner of the bed and Jungkook smiled in pain when he felt his small hand get covered by the large ones, creating an adamant promise between two souls.

His body felt half alive with the touch of his Alpha. He clutched the hand in his hold and brought it towards his face. He rolled himself sideways and buried his nose deep into Taehyung's wrist, inhaling the scent directly from the gland.

Jungkook unleashed the pheromones that he was holding in the bay due to shame but when the sandalwood scent coming from his Alpha's wrist drove his mind crazy, he lost all of his holds.

Two scents emerged in the air creating a peaceful environment in the whole chamber. The Royal Alpha removed his shoes and broke the nest from one side. 

Jungkook's throat made a startling noise when he found a hand against his mouth. He looked at his Alpha in confusion, trying to come as innocent as possible. But he got caught long ago.

"Push out the buttons you are chewing," Taehyung said.

Jungkook closed his eyes in shame, blood rushed to his cheeks when he opened his mouth and pushed the five black shirt buttons out with the help of his tongue. It wasn't his fault, chewing on something was helping his itching gums.

The Royal Alpha collected them carefully and dropped them out of the nest. 

Their eyes got matched and both of them lost in the moment. Taehyung observed the omega laying on the bed a bit carefully, his lips were drained yet was smiling towards him, his hands were hugging his stomach underneath his cloak.

And suddenly he memorised his reason for being here. 

"I need to draw this heat out of your body, it will hurt less after that," Taehyung said to the omega who was busy staring at his Alpha with contentment.

This time Jungkook spoke his thoughts in front of Taehyung, his voice coming too soft to hear," I haven't stopped you, Alpha." 

Jungkook breathes out when Taehyung's gaze falls on him again. He grazes his cheeks over the palms of Alpha when Taehyung retraces his hand back to him.

The Royal Alpha twisted his arm and all the flambeaus in the corners of the chambers got extinguished. 

The darkness of the night got drawn on the chamber, it was the night of the new moon. There was no moon in the sky, no moonlight but when Jungkook's eyes matched with his Alpha, he found himself more helpless against those dark eyes.

He can make out the features of the Alpha because of the closeness, everything else got drowned in the darkness. 

Breath stuck into Jungkook's throat when those grey eyes came closer to his face, a hand pulling the cloak from his body. Another hand got pressed against his forehead, Jungkook saw his Alpha removing the cloak but stopped in the middle.

He was thinking something, Jungkook read the hesitation on his mate's features even in the darkness. He covered his Alpha's hand on the cloak and helped him to remove it till his thighs, all while keeping their gaze connected.

His breaths were getting ragged against his chest, hand leaving the hold over the cloak before gripping Taehyung's shoulder. His fingers dug into the black material of the shirt when he felt the Alpha's hand hovering over the knot on his sash.

Taehyung circles a finger around the knot before pulling at the longer thread, the knot comes undone, loosening the sash around the main robe.

The Royal Alpha removed the sash and Jungkook felt his navel trembling when another knot got tugged open underneath the sash.

Taehyung was laying sideways to Jungkook and it gave him the benefit of using one hand freely. He opened the main robe layer by layer until it fell around Jungkook's body, like a pile of cloth.

Two knots were visible now, one that would undo the robe over Jungkook's upper body and the other knot was securing the hold of his waist skirt.

Without even touching the upper knot, The Royal Alpha went for the other one over the waist skirt. He replaced his other hand that was placed on the omega's forehead to curl around the scruff of his neck, fingers feeling the softness of red hairs.

The knot of the waist skirt was tight around Jungkook's hips, Jungkook inhaled deeply when he felt fingers touching the skin of his waist, unlocking the knot completely.

Jungkook's hands got curled around Taehyung's neck unconsciously. He lifted his head and buried himself deeply into the junction of the Alpha's neck and shoulder.

He stuttered a gasp when his skirt started slipping downwards, nosing the scent gland of his Alpha. Jungkook whimpered in shame.

His waist was exposed, navel was bare to the coldness of the night. 

Taehyung kept undressing the skirt until a white barrier of silk appeared to his eyes. He stopped there and tied a loose knot to clasp the skirt over the lower hips.  

Jungkook was hugging the Alpha, drowning in the scent while hiding the rosiness of his cheeks.

Taehyung looked at the thin waist, it looked sensitive with the way it was trembling with omega's shaky breaths. He flattens his hand over it and a stuttering moan is heard just under his ear.

His hand covered the entire expanse of the exposed skin, Jungkook gasped in shock when he felt foreign fingers caressing his belly with care.

His eyes rolled back in pleasure when sensations bloomed in his whole body, he has never experienced something like this. That foreign touch made Jungkook ecstatically high on emotions.

He bit his lips to stop himself from announcing the whimpers and moans in front of his king. 

But the way his waist was moving with each touch, made Jungkook grab the black strands of his Alpha. The blood was racing against the heartbeat of his heart, stopping all of his senses to think properly.

Taehyung caressed the untouched skin with the back of his fingers, feeling the way it was falling apart with his single touches. He felt the heat has spread inside the omega in splits, he needs to collect it in a loop.

He pressed his thumb inside the soft navel and rotated in a clockwise direction. Jungkook arched his back when the thumb went deeper in his navel, the scent was buzzing against his nose. 

It felt unreal yet so truthful that Jungkook stopped believing everything around him. But then he felt the heat circling inside his stomach just under that thumb, it felt like the thumb was attracting each fibre of fire from his body.

'Part your legs,' 

It was a whisper but Jungkook flinched entirely. It was spoken just under his ear, he dug his fangs inside his tongue to control himself. 

He pulled himself away from the hug, head striking into the clothes as a weightless skull. He raised his eyes at his Alpha and whimpered when he found him staring back at him with dark blazing eyes. 

Jungkook hoisted his hands towards his Alpha's face and cupped his cheeks with a soft hold, keeping his face like this so that the Royal Alpha would not be able to witness his trembling legs distancing themselves from each other.

Jungkook gasped shamelessly when Taehyung traced the thumb over his navel before dragging it down to the waist skirt. His eyes were taking the expressions of the omega underneath him, he could see the omega was trying hard to control but still felt like a mess under his fingertips. 

The burning heat was coiling towards his abdomen now just under that thumb and when Taehyung pressed his four fingers on his clothed part of the waist skirt, Jungkook threw his head back in pleasure, showing his pale neck glinting with sweat.

Jungkook felt the first gush of slick sliding down his thighs, the heat found an escape leaving his body at relief.

Taehyung could smell it enough so he rotated the position of his hand, now his thumb was placed on the covered part while fingers were squeezing the skin of Jungkook's abdomen. 

Holding a sufficient amount of pressure over his thumb, the Royal Alpha drew the heat out bit by bit. 

Jungkook felt blood on his tongue by how much he was biting on it. He fisted the clothes around him to hold onto something, even a single touch was pushing his mind into insanity.

Luna was close to fainting when he felt Taehyung caressing his cheeks," hold a little longer." 

He nodded his head and felt the wetness underneath him, it was like he was laying in a puddle of water. 

Taehyung rubbed the abdomen carefully and when he found no heat, he retracted his hands back from Jungkook. He grabbed his cloak and covered the omega in the same position, knowing the heat will coil up again soon.

Jungkook might have sensed the relaxation of his nerves, he didn't fight against his instincts when his body took him into a deep slumber. His surroundings were safe with his Alpha in his nest, so he welcomed his sleep with tired eyes.

Taehyung was about to leave the nest so that he could sit a little away from the omega. He doesn't want to disturb a tired wolf. But his nose twitched as soon as it got a whiff of blood.

He eyed the omega carefully again, Jungkook was sleeping with a peaceful face hidden underneath the small tresses of his hair, there were no traces of pain or any injury.

He flared his nostrils and smelt the air, the scent of blood was still strong. He inhaled it carefully and moved his head in the direction of blood.

A small frown appeared on his lips when the scent became stronger over Jungkook's knees. Taehyung looked at the sleeping omega again and when he found him sleeping contently, the Royal Alpha didn't hesitate to uncover the cloak up to his knees.

It was there, the injury over Jungkook's knees, still appearing fresh however the skin around it had turned into blotches of blue.  

All while Jungkook was bearing this injury and hadn't mentioned it once. Taehyung eyed the omega carefully again, something wasn't settling right inside his chest.

The Royal Alpha mind linked his brother to send him the remedy of the injury, his eyes roamed in the empty chamber searching for a bottle of oil.

When he didn't find one he decided to look into the cabinets that were placed under the mirror. With careful motions, Taehyung brought himself out from the nest. 

He walked to the cabinets with shocks clad feet and looked around for some oil. He opened the first drawer, there were two hairpins and one hairbrush, nothing else.

Taehyung found it unusual, The Empress of Eclipse and doesn't have luxuries in his chamber, that's hard to believe. But there were still four cabinets left and Taehyung opened them one by one.

The second one was keeping two pairs of small earrings other than those it was empty. There were no anklets, no rings, no necklaces, no waist chains, no diamonds, no rubies. It was empty.

That turned Royal Alpha's eyes into annoying slits.

He went for the third one and opened it. This cabinet looked Royal, a soft red scarf was spread on the base while his dagger was placed over it. 

Other than that there was nothing else to see.

Taehyung tilted his head sideways and opened the fourth one, it was empty as well. He was about to shut it when a green cloth holding a small bottle of glass rolled out of it. 

He crunched down on his knees and picked up the glass bottle, he looked back at the omega while opening the bottle. The bottle was filled with a kind of red jelly, he sniffed it carefully.

Cherries.

Taehyung closed the bottle quickly before wrapping it into the green cloth and placing it back into the cabinet.

The last one left and the Royal Alpha wasn't understanding the urge to open it. He did that by holding the knob of the cabinet and sliding it towards himself.

The cabinet was filled with books, books of mythology, foreign languages and calculation of proportions.

Taehyung closed the cabinet and stared at the image of himself in the mirror. His mind was whirling in several questions and the most important one that was throbbing in his chest, made him walk towards the omega.

"Who are you?" 

The Royal Alpha's eyes were holding a serious threat towards the omega. Surrounded by their profound scents, Taehyung found himself unable to recognize the omega.

In that need of wanting answers, all his mind could remember the chanting words of the omega.

I heard you can read and interpret everything, So please read me.

Please read me.

Please read me.

Taehyung's eyes blazed golden, years of secrets residing inside the sleeping omega. He can read the history of his life and get all of his answers. 

The Royal Alpha loomed over the sleeping omega as a threatening shadow, keeping himself a little away from him, Taehyung touched Jungkook's cheeks with the back of his two fingers. 

It's about to happen, every curtain of fakeness would fall apart, each lie would get caught, all Taehyung needs to do is…. Focus on his mate.

💜💜💜💜💜💜💜.

The story is going forward and I am damn excited for the next parts.
