3) You will sleepy in the middle because the chapter is long so sleep.
4) Read it slowly or you will miss the details, hints and facts. Many things got disclosed and many will reveal later.

The noises of soldiers' feet were loud against the ground as all of them were patrolling across the southern border of the Eclipse. Some countable omegas were roaming around the hut once in a while to check on Luna if he had woken up or not.

The hut was empty except for a solitude sleeping under two combined thick blankets. Jungkook's body was huddled into the corner, his arms were hugging the plush blankets, deep in slumber.

The Alpha had woken up way before the others, after the conversations of the night, none of them spoke to each other and that divine silence led them into a peaceful sleep. Taehyung talked to the soldiers before leaving the southern territory to visit the neighborhood pack in the morning.

Jungkook's nose twitched when a bunch of hair fell over his lips. It tickled weirdly, sending a frizzy sensation to his nose and then.

Sneeze.

His whole body jerked into the blankets as he moved from one side to another on the futon. 

During taking the turn, he bends his legs to snuggle into the blankets deeper and that's when pain strikes. His sleeping body arose in attention, hands already clutching thighs as a whimper left his inflated lips. 

His eyes were crinkled shut in pain, and lips were blowing puffs of air on the wound innocently, despite knowing very well that the air won't reach the legs which were curled up under the fort of blankets.

Jungkook opened his eyes and removed all the blankets to one side. He lifted his skirt and unfolded the towels to see the condition of his wounds, a gushed breath of relief passed from his lips as he sighed in serenity. 

The blood over the wounds was clotted now but his skin has turned blue around the wounds leaving deep pain in his muscles. 

Jungkook looked around the hut to find new towels to change the bandage when he saw a bowl of herbal medicine placed right at the end of his mattress. A pair of new hanfu was set beside it, along with a pair of new socks, a jar of water, new towels, threads, and some fruits.

He moved slowly toward the end of the mattress and sniffed the medicine. It was freshly pestled, he applied the paste over the three wounds before carefully wrapping it with clean towels. He used the threads to tie the towels in one place and fasten quick knots one by one.

With the help of his hands on the floor, Jungkook stood on his legs. He looked around the empty hut and suddenly his Alpha's absence dawned upon him. 

He looked at the abandoned futon on the floor, it was still wafting off their mixed scents. Maybe that's why he couldn't realize the absence of his Alpha because the richness of sandalwood was hovering over each fiber of the hut.

Was it intentional?

Jungkook thought before he took the new hanfu in his arms and went to the corner of the hut to change his clothes. It was nothing much, a simple cotton white hanfu that fell around Jungkook's curves loose and comfortable.

He peeled off the night clothes from his body and placed them onto the heap of other used clothes. He went for the wide pants first, wearing them carefully so that they wouldn't touch the towels around his thighs. After securing the pants around his lower waist, Jungkook wore the upper blouse and tucked its bottom inside the wide pants. Next comes the small robe with wide lapels around the arms, he wore it slowly and smoothened its creases. Lastly, he picked up the long white skirt and tied it right across the bottom of the robe.

He wrapped the sash around his skirt that was holding his now-washed dagger and picked up the norigae, a beautiful tassel braided with white pearls and attached it over the knot of the sash. 

Jungkook picked up the jar of water and went to the window that someone had left open for the fresh air. He washed his face thoroughly, closing his eyes when his hands spewed water on his face. The droplets trickled down his face, carrying the last remnants of sleep and drowsiness from his body. 

When the jar emptied Jungkook wiped his face with towels and started to comb his hair. He doesn't know what he is preparing himself for but his brain was making decisions for all his activities. As if his heart was telling him to get ready quickly as someone must be waiting for him.

Jungkook saw the long white ribbons rolled into a curl, placed at the edge of the mattress. He unrolled it and made a half pony of his red hairs, leaving the ribbon flowing till the end of his splits and cutting the rest of it. 

It wasn't much but Jungkook felt like he had never taken such extreme time to get ready before. His heart was palpitating in uncertainty, the conversations they did last night weren't ordinary. They could seem to be most ordinary for other people but for Jungkook, for the person who has longed for a single word from his Alpha, weren't ordinary.

All the words that they had shared last night, all the emotions and glances are safely secured behind the curtains of his heart. He would never reveal them to others, it's his to live and feel, it's his to be owned and desired.

From the earliest day of his childhood, Jungkook has always been a prince who had shared his everything with other people but for the first time, he didn't want to share anything. He wants to live the moments and revive them only in the depth of his memories.

Jungkook walked back to his used clothes, his scarf should be dried off by now. He enveloped his neck with the scarf and let its edges drape over his shoulders to his arms.  

He wore the new pair of socks, the events of the night bringing an adorable glow to his face and his smile was growing with each passing memory in his head.

He was ready to step out of the hut now. He pushed his heart back inside the ribs from his lapels and taking a leap of faith in nature, opened the door of the hut.

As soon as he opened it, a plethora of greetings and bows were thrown towards him, a bunch of omegas were standing outside of his hut. He greeted them back and asked the most cliche question a mate could ask for. 

"Have you seen Your Majesty?" His voice was too soft to get heard by someone but the omegas caught the words by heart. They were staring at the Empress with wide eyes, a beauty so simple yet enchanting that they could watch their Luna for eternity. They giggled among themselves, their gushed voices were incoherent for Jungkook to make a thread of sentences when one of them spoke out clearly.

"Your Majesty came out of the hut around dawn, as our mate told us. Our mates received some instructions and then His Majesty went to the neighboring pack." 

Another omega quipped beside the first one," Our mates told us to prepare some things and instructed us to leave them beside His Empress's mattress. They told us about the injuries, we were really worried, Luna." 

Jungkook smiled," I'm feeling better after applying the paste, wounds will heal soon. Thank you for all the efforts you made to make our sudden visit comfortable." He dipped his head a little in gratitude.

The omegas lost themselves at that," No! Luna, we were so happy when we saw our Alpha and Luna in the southern territory.  I mean to say, I wasn't happy that Your Empress got injured but we deeply wish for these kinds of encounters in future as well."

She was perplexed when he noticed the embarrassing glares from her friends, some of them even nudging her with their elbows and her eyes went wide," I do not wish to get Luna injured in the future, I apologize I did not-"

All of them fell silent when they heard the short laugh of their Luna, eyes crinkling softly as a breath of chuckles left his lips," Rest assured. I did not misunderstand you."

All of them bowed once again and grabbed the stuttering omega before walking in the opposite direction of the soldiers where their mates had started drills for the day.

One omega remained standing in the same position," We have prepared some meals for you, Luna. Please accept it." 

"Has His Majesty had his meal?" Jungkook asked. 

"No, Your Empress. His Majesty refused but left instructions that Luna should eat something for the betterment of immunity." 

Jungkook looked around in disappointment, he was surely starving. Doesn't even remember when he has taken his last meal, a total aftereffect of living beside the Alpha. He found himself nodding towards the omega and the omega gladly showed him the path to lead the Empress towards the cookhouse.

After feeding his stomach to the brim, Jungkook strolled around the drilling area, measuring and observing the new skills developed by the soldiers. He was intrigued to see new techniques for practicing despite the beat of the season. He learned that the soldiers had made an alternative for every exercise according to the season. 

It was impressive. Their devotion to the protection of their pack, diligence to work for their people showed their sacrifices and spoke about their personalities.

He was indulging in the process of watching a soldier sharpening the blade of javelins as some soldiers were going hunting when he heard the familiar sharp and forceful thumping of a horseshoe. He twirled around instantly and he was there.

Artax was back too.

The Alpha was coming closer to the cluster of huts riding his horse ever so smoothly. Artax stopped right in front of the Empress and raised his front legs in greetings. 

Jungkook's eyes, which were fixed on the person sitting on the saddle, diverted and a smile poured out of his lips," You are back." He said to Artax but wise people know whom he was referring to.

He caressed Artax's forehead and then tapped his muzzle," Thank you for coming, I missed you." 

His eyes drew back toward the Alpha, their gazes met and the remembrances of last night delineated the aroma of closeness. From the moment Taehyung drove Artax inside the southern territory, his eyes were fixed on the white solitude of the Luna. 

His gaze follows the elegance of the omega so closely that he saw the enlightenment of his eyes when he turned around to greet them. It wasn't something that the Royal Alpha could miss. 

When the omega turned around two things happened; one their eyes met in gratitude as if yearning to see each other for so long. Two they can't seem to pull away from the staring even when the soldiers around them start ascending to their chores.

The isolation comes with the silence, a silence that reminds them of the proximate talks of the night. What will the Alpha do now? Should they pretend that nothing happened and live the life they had been living from the start? Ignore the heartstrings which were pulling and pushing them towards each other?

Or.

Starts walking over the edge of faith till it takes them towards their destined place? Taking the essence of trust that both have built with their enormous devotion and patience, would they be able to find each other in the end?

None have an answer to this.

But for the first time, it wasn't Taehyung who broke the gaze off and looked away. It was Luna who ducked his head down with a heavy blush on his cheeks.

Jungkook cupped Artax's face with both hands and brushed off the small dirt the horse had around his face. 

However, The Royal Alpha was still staring. He hadn't yet got familiar with this_  this sudden emotion of forfeiting in the live enchantment of the omega.  

Taehyung wonders if the omega has created an illusion around him where his eyesight got the omega as the center of the vision and blurred everything out around him. Does an illusion like this even exist?

The Royal Alpha broke off the gaze when he felt his gaze crossing the boundary of nobility because the omega in front looked like he was two moments away to hide behind the Artax.

He licked his lower lip, letting the tongue provide the moisture that air took away during the riding. He landed on his feet and caressed Artax's back. The horse neighed in delight, receiving affection from his owners. 

"How are the wounds?" The Alpha asked but didn't look towards the Omega, seemingly busy fixing the saddle more securely on the back of Artax.

Jungkook heard the question and the hue of blush reached upto his ears," The pain got better after applying the medicine. I'm able to walk now." He replied without looking at the Alpha too, finding the reins around the forehead of Artax more fascinating.

"And the coagulation of blood?" Taehyung glanced at the omega before tightening the strap of the stirrups and stretching the already-stretched billets.

Jungkook's fingers moved from Artax's forehead to his muzzle in synchronize, covering the slight trembles in them," Blood got clotted. The skin around the wounds is more closed off now." 

Taehyung removed his eyes again and buckled up the saddle securely, at the similar moment Jungkook raised his eyes and peeked at the Alpha.

Now standing a few meters apart, Jungkook watched the Alpha closely. Taehyung was wearing his black suit again, a black midriff top that has wide open collars, long tight-fitted pants, and a trench coat that goes down to the knees, supported by a silver chain around the belt loops. 

The Alpha could sense the gaze but he decided to not dwell on it and took a step away from the horse," We should leave for the pack house now." He proposed.

Jungkook blinked his eyes but didn't look away," Yeah. If we leave right now, we will be able to reach around the evening."

The Alpha gestured to the Empress to survey the saddle first," I agree. Uh. One more thing. Keep your both legs on one side during the ride otherwise the wounds will open. The saddle is longer this time, there is more space you can occupy."

Jungkook looked at the saddle, it was surely new. The hook at the front was replaced by a tight leather band to hold onto, two stirrups dangling on one side to rest the feet onto and the size of it was longer too, which means he can easily sidesaddle the horse.

Jungkook stepped closer to the saddle and grabbed the leather band in a tight hold," The grip is stronger, side saddling would be easier."

Taehyung stepped closer to the luna, his hand gripping the rear side of the saddle," Hmm. I will climb first, you should follow me after. It will be easier to settle down. Is that.. alright?" He glanced at the omega again and Jungkook looked directly into his warm grey eyes. 

The question was there to inquire the comfort of the omega but the omega in question misplaced the eternity of his heartbeats in the passage of finding an answer. What was it? How was it? Why was it? 

Jungkook gulped back the urging cough down to his throat and nodded his head. Taehyung put his foot in the stirrup and climbed the horse. He grabbed the reins with one hand and held out his other hand for the Empress.

The moment felt surreal, however, he had lived this moment before. At that time the Alpha had stretched his hand towards him due to the sheer obligation as the Emperor of the Eclipse. But right now, Jungkook wanted to know if these months of their togetherness changed an ounce of that obligation into something more meaningful. Something that Alpha wanted to do on his own accord without any obligations and duties.

Maybe he was asking for too much or maybe he had already achieved it because the Alpha was still staring at him while the hand stretched in between them, waiting to be held by Luna.

In the past when Jungkook accepted Alpha's help, Taehyung wasn't looking at him. But this time the Royal Alpha was observing his every movement. He should have just melted on the ground rather than grabbing that hand and climbing on the horse.

But Jungkook did the opposite. He had to, the gaze of his Alpha was forcing him to not stand still on his feet. He put his hand right over the Alpha's stretched one and by tightening the hold on the leather band, he stood on the stirrup and twisted his body to one side before sitting down on the saddle.

Jungkook was sitting sideways on the horse with both legs hanging off of the same side. Taehyung maneuvered the reins and grabbed them by either side of the Luna, making him sit between his stretched arms.

The soldiers and their mates came out and stood at the entrances of the huts and patios.  They bowed in farewell to their Alpha and Luna," Till the next time we meet." 

Artax strides over the path, his hooves thumping and leaves the road behind while surging away from the borders. 

Jungkook was staring ahead, his body was straighter than the tree on either side of the path, so stoic that his body wasn't even moving over the ridges and breakers. The wind was blowing his hairs in all directions and Jungkook bit his lips in regret for not tying them in a braid before deciding to climb on the horse.

What should he do now?

Should he make a bun? but wouldn't it be so embarrassing when the Alpha was breathing just behind his neck? Just turning his head a little, in his peripheral vision he could see Alpha was focused on the road and his hair had taken authority over Alpha's entire chest, curling and uncurling with the blowing wind.

Just then, Rain starts pouring down in torrents. They haven't even crossed the fields yet the sky decided to welcome them affectionately. The downpour was wild, Jungkook had to skew his eyes in feline to see the road properly. However, Artax kept running while tearing apart the sheets of rain, his hooves kept splashing water on either side of the path. 

Jungkook's wet hair was now attached to his back, he was holding the leather band with both of his hands. His eyes had turned into a feline moments ago but he still saw how his Alpha's hand combined against the leather band and then he heard the order," Hold the reins." 

Jungkool trapped both reins instantly and Taehyung left the control in his hands. The Alpha pressed his both legs either side of Artax to balance and then started unbuttoning his long coat. He opened the buttons and removed the coat entirely just then Artax decided to take a leap from above a puddle.

Jungkook's body jerked back with force and collapsed on Taehyung's chest. He was about to pull away and apologize when everything turned black.

Jungkook felt the thick material of the coat, the Royal Alpha had draped his coat over him," Eh?" 

Soon, the reins disappeared from his hold as Taehyung slid them back into his hands and said," Your wounds shouldn't get drenched in water." 

Wounds? Oh, Jungkook remembered, he has wounds on his thighs and calf. His whole being got distracted so much that he forgot why he sidesaddled the horse in the first place. He observed how the coat had covered his entire body, only his feet were sensing the dropping droplets.

His hand grabbed the leather band again and tried to pull away from his Alpha's broad chest when Artax leaped again. His hold slipped and Jungkook landed in Taehyung's arms once again.

He apologized from beneath the thick coat, not knowing whether the Alpha heard it or not. But the Alpha replied," Hold tight. We are closer to wild twigs." 

But hold what?

Leaning forward to hold the leather band would be awkward to his body position now and the option that is left to be held is the Royal Alpha's waist. Or he should try to hold his breath under the coat till he leaves this life and ascends to the heavens. 

One thing should be done.

It's not like Alpha can see his face underneath the thick material of the coat, right? So he chose the best option among the two and encircled his one hand around the Alpha's waist, and prompted the other on his shoulder.  

His head was tucked under Taehyung's chin, breathing shallowly with closed eyes. Artax narrowed his posture and Jungkook sensed that they were about to enter the tunnel of wild twigs. 

Rather than moving forward to hunch over Artax's back, the Royal Alpha laid backward on his back pulling Jungkook along with him. Artax penetrated the tunnel and Jungkook held onto Alpha's body for the safety of his dear life.

Both of his arms were wrapped around Taehyung in a tightening hold and soon Alpha's protective hand on his back joined the combination. With one hand, Taehyung was holding the reins of the horse while the other had the omega enveloped in it. 

The rain was wild when they came out of the tunnel but Artax was unphased, bolting down the path, penetrating the puddles of mud without any difficulty.

Taehyung pulled the reins and his lying body sits up along with the omega latched onto him. The Alpha pulled away his hand from the omega's back and flicked wet hairs away from his forehead before wrapping his hand around Jungkook's waist this time.

Jungkook pulled his face out of the coat, breathing in short gasps, he sneezed. He looked around the road while pressing his face against the Alpha's chest and completely ignoring Taehyung's hand on his waist.

The rain was falling like a dream, all shapes of droplets drenching the soil equally. The downpour was so rapid as if the droplets didn't want to break their bond of attachment with the earth. This brought a smile to Jungkook's face. He knows his voice won't be heard by anyone when the noises of drizzles are so sharp that it can easily make other beings deaf. Still, he says," It's so beautiful to watch." 

Jungkook raised his head on Taehyung's chest, looking up from beneath his chin and he accomplished it as the worst mistake he has ever made. 

The Royal Alpha was totally focused on the road. His tight and sharp jaw seemed like the canopy of warmth beneath which Jungkook could live forever. His eyes blinked and from that canopy, a droplet fell right above his cheek. 

Jungkook felt the serenity of that droplet inside his heart, his eyes followed the path of other droplets and watched the beads of water trickling down the long neck before emerging into the collars. The more beads trickle down into the collars, the drier Jungkook's lips become.

 No. Jungkook stopped himself from having such thoughts but his eyes were still raised in the same direction, perpetually watching the water beads again and again.

Taehyung did not look down once. He has done many things today and yesterday night to make himself question his own sanity. He has no answer to why he had walked to the Mystic Shadows today and rode Artax back to the southern territory and why he is holding the omega so close as if he would slip away from his fingers. 

The Empress can look after himself just fine. He is capable enough to ride Artax back to the packhouse safely. Then why? Why the moment Luna pressed into his arms, his heart pressed back to his ribs? 

The rain was supposed to be a good distraction then why? Why is there this urge to hide the clouds and sun altogether just so it won't bother the person resting in his arms? 

Despite the excessive blood loss yesterday, the omega has exceptional redness on his cheeks.

He flicked his hair back from his forehead once again and his hand unconsciously tugged the omega closer by his waist. His eyes hardened, similar to the grip over the reins. He bites his tongue to surpass himself from snarling and licks out the droplets sitting across his lips. 

The moment Taehyung tugged Jungkook closer, the omega's nose pushed right into his neck. Jungkook's eyes rolled back when the scent of sandalwood mixed with drenched soil entered his soul. His lips parted between the space of his face and the neck and some of the droplets touched the dried ocean of his tongue. 

Jungkook closed his lips shut and turned his head away, pressing his ear under the throat of the Alpha. He blinked his eyes rapidly to clear out the blurriness of his eyes. He focused on nature because he was close to melting and losing all his senses if he concentrated on anything else as his brain only led him towards one thing. 

His Alpha.

Oblivious to the torments of the omega's emotions, Taehyung took a sharp turn and Jungkook hugged the Alpha more closely. This ride surely would become the longest ride of Jungkook's life. 

~

When Artax entered the Eclipse grounds, the rain had finally stopped. People were standing in rows and bowing to greet their Royal couple. The coat around Jungkook had taken a roll over waist and his one hand was grabbing the leather band while the other was holding onto Alpha's waist. He had a big smile on his face, watching the familiar faces of their pack members brought immense happiness to his heart. 

He ducked his head back in a bow to greet his people as Artax kept moving in slow steps. Taehyung nodded toward them, accepting their greeting. The healing ceremony would be held after some days, people knew, so they squealed and cheered at their arrival to the fullest. 

Some thanked them for their hard work and divine help in fields, offering heartfelt blessings and boons.

Artax entered the palace and the loud noises of people stayed behind the threshold of the large gate. The horse stopped and soldiers came forward to grab the reins as Taehyung get off. He removed his coat around the omega's waist first and gave it to the soldiers. His hand reached toward Luna's waist then and lifted him up from the horse.

Jungkook landed on his feet safely, both of them were drenched from head to toe but the setting Sun in the sky left enough warmth to not let them quiver in the cold. 

They moved forward to proceed with their walks when Jungkook sensed his Alpha stopped beside him. He turned back and looked at the Alpha. Taehyung's gaze was fixed on the patio of the entrance while something rare flew out of his grey iris.

It was an expression of unexpected surprise.

Jungkook looked ahead at the patio where Jimin and Yoongi were standing with big smiles on their faces. A moment later, Taehyung approached the stairs that led them to the patio and Jungkook followed him cautiously. 

Jungkook observed above Jimin's big smile, his eyes were shading warm tears. It was the tears of happiness, he can say with the way Yoongi was caressing his back affectionately.

Taehyung shook his head unconsciously, not believing his big brother at all. He ignored the scent of peonies that his nostrils picked up some moments ago but then it happened. 

Jungkook looked forward in attention when he heard the lightness of feet against the floor. His eyes went wide when a magnificence stepped out of the threshold of the palace. 

A male omega.

Jungkook's lips parted in delusion, the male omega was carrying a yellow hanfu with a deep green veil wrapped around his arms. His hair was longer than Jungkook's, black long hair, half of it was braided nicely while half of it was left open. 

The hanfu was glittering with shine, norigae was held by a half-cut diamond on the knot. The face looked like it was sculpted by the moon goddess herself to worship and bow down in respect. 

The deep green veil was long as it was gliding behind the steps of the male omega even after wrapping around the arms. Jungkook was staring at the male omega shamelessly when he caught a whispered breath of the Royal Alpha.

"Mother."

Jungkook's staring eyes went wider than mountains, he looked down immediately. Of course, a divine male omega like the former could only be the mother of divine beings like Royal Alpha and Royal Omega. Of course, he is the Imperial Highness of the Eclipse and the entire Europe. Of course, Jungkook should have known better.

A nervous sweat broke down around Jungkook's neck. However, his body was wet but the chills around his skin exerted his tremble. He remembered the memories he had with the only mother figure of his life and Jungkook gulped down a lush of saliva in his drying throat. 

Jungkook got another glimpse of the male omega who was looking at his Alpha with a teary smile on his face. The warmth across the features of the male omega brought some peace to Jungkook, it couldn't be worse than his own mother, could it?

He braced himself with a small smile which wiped off when he saw the male omega descending the stairs to walk upto them. 

One moment Taehyung was standing beside the Empress and in the other, he got engulfed by the warm hug of his mother. 

"My Taehyungie," Jungkook heard the wet whisper as if the male omega was choking on his words.

Jungkook took a step away from the bonding mother and son, just so he could look at them clearly. He watched how his Alpha hugged his mother back as tightly as he could. 

The male omega was constantly caressing Taehyung's back and hair so affectionately that it brought unshed tears to Jungkook's eyes. 

Taehyung said something that Jungkook couldn't catch correctly but soon the male omega started laughing in his arms, wiping the tears before pulling away from the embrace of his son," You don't need to. I think I have created enough theater for the evening." 

The male omega used his veil to clean his face and looked directly at Jungkook," Taehyungie, Won't you introduce me to your mate?" 

The Royal Alpha was still looking at his mother as if he was an illusion of rain and would disappear at any second. He blinked his eyes and held himself to control his mind. He looked at Jungkook who looked back at the Alpha with a bated breath. 

"Mother, This is Jeon Jungkook. My Luna."

"Your Empress, This is my mother. Kim Seokjin." 

"Such an ancient name won't suit me anymore, son. I use Madelyn nowadays." The male omega smiled warmly at both of them. 

Jungkook had long forgotten his existence when the Royal Alpha had introduced him as his Luna. He had heard his name from his Alpha's lips for the first time and wait a moment… Madelyn? He had heard this name before as well. 

Jungkook didn't care about his wounds when he dropped to his knees and bent forward on the ground to bow to the male omega," My deep greetings, Your Imperial Highness." 

He kept bowing down till he felt a hand on his shoulders. Jungkook looked ahead and found the male omega sitting in front of him on his knees as well. The eyes of the male omega were carrying many emotions but he was surpassing it under his warm smile and teary eyes. 

"Forgive your mother, my son-in-law. I wasn't here to welcome you after your courting. When Jiminie reached out to me and told me about you, I couldn't stop myself from visiting Eclipse." 

Taehyung looked at the Royal omega and Jimin stepped down the stairs as well," I know I could inform you before but I didn't want to miss your surprised face. You paled off as if Mother is a ghost."

Jungkook returned the warm smile with his own. Madelyn cupped Jungkook's face with one hand and blinked the tears away," Thank you for coming into my son's life. We have waited for so long." 

Jungkook doesn't know how to reply to those words, he was still gawking at the male omega speechlessly. Madelyn helped Jungkook and pulled him to stand on his feet and That's when Jimin stepped forward to help. 

"I apologize Mother but I need to take Jungkookie with me. Yesterday, he came across a tragedy and injured his legs. I need to examine his wounds." Jimin says as he caresses Jungkook's arms, providing comfort. 

"Oh. Of course. Take my son-in-law with you. I will personally visit you later, dear." Madelyn nods toward Jungkook and looks back at Taehyung.

"And You. Come with me." The male omega grasped Taehyung's hand into his own and pulled him away from the entrance of the palace, taking a path that led to the warehouse.

Taehyung looked at Jungkook one last time before his body turned towards his mother as Madelyn was dragging him with slow steps.

Jungkook was still in the ambiance of the male omega's presence, many things happened and he couldn't seize his grasp on them. Jimin noticed his turmoil and spoke up," Our Mother is nice, trust me."

"I don't have any doubt about it. His eyes are full of warmth." Jungkook said.

"I know you don't, but it's my personal duty to keep you at ease so that you won't compare two characters together." Jimin smiled and gestured towards the palace.

~

Madelyn was sitting on the heap of grass in a criss-cross position and his son was lying across his body with his face stuffed into his mother's lap. He was continuously combing Taehyung's hair in different directions.

He missed this dearly.

Missed his sons when his mate demanded an extra meal for breakfast, missed them when they took strolls around the lakes and sometimes missed them laying under the starry night.

The last time when he was here, everything was ushering toward the upcoming disaster. Loud cries, fire, blood, and violence were at their peak. And behind all of this were his two most precious people on the earth.

One was his mate and the other was his son.

Madelyn bent down and pressed a wobbly kiss on Taehyung's forehead," He was radiating glow when you introduced him as your Luna."

Taehyung opened his closed eyes and stared at the dusky sky. 

"What is stopping you now, my child? Haven't you suffered enough, waited enough for this day? Tell me. When Jiminie recalled me, he was crying." 

Taehyung looked at his mother from beneath," Why?"

"I think you got into some argument in the fields. He was crying and said you were ruining your life and your mate's life." 

Taehyung rolled his eyes and got a slap on his forehead right afterward yet he ignored," It was nothing. He has a habit of snitching."

"Hmm." Madelyn hummed, knowing really well that his son was hiding something," Then why is your mate still wearing a veil to hide his neck?" 

"If there is nothing then why haven't you accepted him yet? Jiminie said it has been over one year since your courting ceremony." 

"It's not that easy, Mother," Taehyung said slowly, his eyes again darting to the blank sky.

"I know, it's not meaningful if it comes to you effortlessly. As you already accused Jiminie of snitching so I must tell you that he had told me everything." 

Taehyung snorted in the back of his throat, already knowing his elder brother really well.

"You have taken enough tests of him, Tae. I wonder how he had passed ten months of separation. I won't talk about Alphas but it's painful for us omegas." 

"Is there any scale where I could measure if it's enough or not? Where I could say, Yes, this is enough and reach the conclusion?" Taehyung decided to ask his unhinged questions.

Madelyn kept looking at his son with passive eyes and placed his hand over Taehyung's heart," This is your scale, son. It will tell you the measurement, the conclusion, and even the path to reach it. You just have to give freedom to its decisions."

Taehyung shook his head," Everything will get burned, Mother. My most adamant fear is that I will be the one to burn it." 

"I am not saying to bare yours totally and submit yourself to your mate. No, son. But the least you can do is acknowledge his efforts and do the same to protect your bond."

Taehyung released a peaceful breath when his mother started combing his hair again, "We have talked about it. But the fear of the past wasn't letting me confront him directly." 

"Then strike where your fear resides, Son. Diamonds can catch dirt and lose their shine if left uncared, precious jewels always shine brighter when you give attention to them. Let him witness the real you, let him see what you have buried behind the large gates of that library. Don't make any decisions, let decisions come towards you." 

The Royal Alpha was watching the scattered clouds forming a cult together, maybe it will rain soon. 

"You had taught me that a snake could shed its skin but it never changes its color." 

"Yes. I had taught you that. But I have taught one more thing, Tae. Just as a snake shed its skin, we must shed our past over and over again. The one who cannot cast its skin… has to die. Meaning that the minds which are prevented from changing their opinions seek failure. Why did you recall only one piece of wisdom and not the other?" 

"Maybe the heart remembers what he wants to justify at that moment," Taehyung says, his eyes filling with tense emotion.

"Isn't it biased on your accord?"

"It is." 

"I'm glad you acknowledge it. You don't have to be perfect and you don't have to be less cautious towards your heart, Tae. Mother just wants to see your smile before I leave." 

Taehyung sits up from his lying position," When are you leaving?"

"My mate has pitched a pavilion right across the Border of Eclipse," Madelyn says cautiously, his eyes diverting away from his Son's. It hadn't given the answer Taehyung wanted so he kept quiet and let his mother speak.

"I will leave once I start missing his presence." 

"You mean tonight?" 

"Taehyung. Don't be like this. He is my Mate, I will leave after some days." 

The Royal Alpha ignored the last sentence entirely and stood up," I'm going back to change my clothes. Do you have anything on your mind?"

Madelyn smiled widely and Taehyung missed this reflection of his mother," After dinner, I will see my son-in-law. It will be the highlight of my day." 

Madelyn followed his Son who had already started walking towards the palace once he heard son-in-law from his mother's mouth," And one more thing, Son. Don't tell Eclipsers that I am their Imperial Highness, they will pass out after seeing my black hair and youth. We are still hiding our immortality, right?"

~

Jungkook was taking a stroll on the terrace of the palace, after returning from the fields it was hard for him to get stuck under the ceilings for a long time. His wolf was craving fresh air. His veil was placed on the carpet, folded neatly. He had a wide smile on his face while remembering the incidents of the dinner.

This date should be written as the happiest date in history.

Tonight's dinner was prepared by the Imperial Highness himself and he made all of them sit on the floor and taught them the ancient ways to eat the food. The Imperial Highness fed all of them equally with his hand. Amongst four of them, Yoongi was the shyest. 

The Royal Imperial Highness told all the favorite foods of his sons which were heard by Jungkook and Yoongi carefully. They chatted until all the food was finished and Mother sued them away, saying he needed to do some important work.

Jungkook doesn't ask what work. But he is sure it must include the Imperial Majesty in concern. 

"Here you are, My dearest son-in-law." 

If it was possible then Jungkook welcomed the Imperial Highness with a bigger smile this time. Bowing again out of habit but chuckled when Madelyn shook his head towards him. 

He sat on the new carpet which was laid out once the rain stopped. Jungkook sat across from him as per the demand of the Imperial Highness. 

Both of them gazed at the stars when Madelyn spoke, "I hadn't thought I would step inside this palace again. But I had hope for a better future for my son. And after centuries here I am." 

Jungkook didn't know what to say. He knows the Imperial couple parted ways with Alpha due to some past reasons. But he doesn't know the details. So he decided to ask the question that was swirling inside his head the moment he got introduced to the Imperial Highness.

"Is Your Imperial Majesty called Mio?" Jungkook asked.

Madelyn looked at him with a frown instantly," How do you know?"

And Jungkook's eyes sparkled in pure joy," I have read your book Mio and Madelyn. All the volumes, it's my favorite book! I told Alpha about it too but he didn't react much. I'm feeling so…so fortunate to meet you in person."

Jungkook's twinkling eyes remind Madelyn of the brightest chandeliers in the palace. He smiled gorgeously to the speaking omega," I'm glad my son-in-law knows us beforehand. The book was written by the commander of our time Elder Chung Hee."

Jungkook absorbed the information with a thoughtful mind and smiled when Imperial Highness gripped his hands in a soft hold," Eclipse is blessed to have you as their Empress, my child. You came around as a boon blessed by the moon goddess." 

Jungkook was sure he will get permanent redness on his cheeks with the way everyone was praising him today. 

Madelyn was saddened when his eyes fell on the barren neck of the omega. He smiled sympathetically," Your patience will earn you the trust of your Alpha."

Jungkook looked up in surprise, not knowing what triggered the male omega to speak like that. But he didn't say anything, feeling lost when his Alpha's silence surfaced in his memories.

Madelyn tightened his hold in reassurance," Patience never fails, Jungkookie. The time you have nurtured Taehyung with your immense trust and patience, he will find a home in you soon. Or perhaps he had already found it." 

"Of course, you are not obliged to be patient forever for him. No omega deserves the separation he pitched onto you. But if you are deciding to stay by his side, the decision should only be yours." 

Jungkook was getting the depth of his words yet he smiled sadly," He had given me permission to wait for him because I asked for it myself. He never forced me for anything."

"I appreciate it." Madelyn nodded and chuckled when another piece of advice comes into his mind. 

"The virtue you have in your personality is the rarest, Jungkookie. Imagine if I had lost hope for a better future and given up on my Alpha in the past, pushed him towards other omegas who must have been more fertile, nourished, and fruitful than me, would I ever have been blessed with Sons like Jimin and Tae?" 

Jungkook shook his head, eyes filled with concern and warmth. Madelyn smiled at him and turned his veil at the back of his waist so that he could hold Jungkook's hand more closely.

"When I met Namjoon, he had just entered his youth period. We both were the same mental age even though I am two years older than him. We guided each other during home chores, courtroom decisions, and what not." 

Jungkook had read about the beautiful story of faith and love but he didn't disturb the male omega when he saw the glint of Madelyn's eyes turn gloomy.

"With time, people outside of Eclipse start pointing out the errors in my character. I remember nine years had passed after my courting ceremony when on the first feast of the new year, the grand Royal asked about the offspring. I was lost at words, and didn't know what to say about something that wasn't in my control. Namjoon guided me through the entire feast from how I should behave to what I should say. Because I had no knowledge of the outer situations."

Jungkook can't imagine himself in the shoes of the male omega. The choices he made in the past were both courageous and selfish. 

"When the time came and all the world was against you but there was one person beside you that said to hold onto him. My mate was… is a blessing to me." 

"Choosing to stay with my mate over others doesn't make me a bad person or a good person. I was snatching the sudden improvement of the Eclipse, an easy solution from everyone by standing beside my mate in his decision. I was choosing hardships for my people, my mate and for myself. But it doesn't make me feel guilty. However, it made me a selfish person in the eyes of the Royal family. Things weren't easily acceptable in the past. I was selfish for my mate, still I am. And this is what my Taehyungie still craves for."

The Royal Alpha's name caught Jungkook's attention like a magnate, his concerned eyes turned confused. Alpha craves selfishness? He did not understand what the male omega wants to say and Madelyn apprehend his confused features before he could figure out.

"I still remember when things got ruined for everyone in the past, when Tae banished his father… my mate from the Kingdom. It was the result of my mate's oversights and my child's legible wrath towards his father. However, Taehyung didn't say a word to me. As I know my child, he wanted to keep me here. But still said nothing to me. He was tired of keeping people beside him without their honest consent." 

Life had once again repeated the past and Jin was ought to choose one thing between his two precious souls. 

The back of Jungkook's eyes sting, he felt the pain coursing through his ribs before entering his heart," And You choose your mate?"

Madelyn nodded his head, his eyes too were brimming with tears," I choose my mate. I could never let him walk away alone. On top of my children, on top of the moon goddess, on above the people of Eclipse… is my mate for me. I had vowed to keep holding his hand till we ascend to the heavens together. So I am selfish like that, I lived for my mate in the past and am still living for him."

"History accused me of being a bad mother, saying I didn't deserve to have children in the first place. But We have raised them as parents, I had prepared them for all kinds of situations, I had trusted that they will survive without us in this world. But I can't say the same about Namjoon. He wasn't raised by good parents. He had no one to rely on." 

"What? Imperial Majesty had a bad childhood?" Jungkook was genuinely curious because there wasn't anything written about their childhood in the book.

"Namjoon's father died during the war between demons and deities. His mate followed the exile after giving birth to Namjoon. His Grandparents means Taehyung's great-grandparents refused to take him under their care as his mother birthed him outside the premises of Eclipse. Ella found Namjoon in the forest and raised him till he comes out as a perfect heir for the Eclipse." 

Jungkook was processing everything in one moment. He remembers the fact that later the Royal Alpha had killed his great-grandfather for cursing Jimin but who is Ella?

"Who… Who is Ella?" Jungkook decided to ask his queries.

"A Royal Witch, she had taken Namjoon under her care for sixteen years. She is like a godmother to my children, both of them know her. Jimin used to practice his healing powers on her. I don't know if they are still in contact with her but we visit her sometimes."

"I wasn't aware of that. That's why I asked, past surely reminds the people who have helped us during bad times."

"You are right, Your Empress." Madelyn teased and then chuckled at his own words.

"Your Imperial Highness didn't answer why you said… Royal Alpha craves selfishness?" It wasn't natural for Jungkook to brought something back in conversation but his heart was desperate at this point.

"I went off the topic, my apologies." Madelyn's eyes turned passive again as if just got a flashback of something," When I was leaving the palace, Taehyung came to meet me for the last time. My child cried in my arms, unloaded his worries and bits of betrayal, failures in my lap. I tried to give him strength. But he only asked for one thing." 

Madelyn flinched when a hand touched his cheeks, he wasn't aware that his tears trickled down his cheek but Jungkook saw that and wiped them right away and whispered in hushed voice, " What did he ask for?"

"He told me If In future I am ever blessed with a mate again, I want them to be as selfish as you. Pray for me mother that I will get a selfish mate like you. I cried hard for my son that day. It is not easy to choose between your son and your mate, dear. I could never wish it upon anyone else in life. I cried because my son wanted someone who could choose to stay beside him earnestly. And I wasn't the one to do that." 

It was hurtful. Separation from mate and mother at the same time. Warm tears slid down Jungkook's cheeks and he forgot to wipe them when the male omega continued.

"I followed the banished man till the end of the kingdom and made a small town, full of people and life. I was aware that my children were suffering and a part of my soul… our soul was always worried for them. I was aware that I am leaving a tarnished Kingdom in the hands of a wounded king. My soul was tearing apart yet I had to cross the threshold of this palace." 

"Alpha doesn't disdain you for that. It shows that you hold a big part of his heart,  M-mother." 

Madelyn covered his face with his face and cried scarcely. His shoulders were hunching down in sadness, he sniffled and pulled Jungkook in a comforting hug. Both of them were crying but their reasons were quite different from each other.

"I was starving to hear mother from you. This mother is grateful to have you, Jungkook. Your soul is very healing and I pray that my son will heal you back."

Warm.

That's how the hug feels like. His nose had turned red when Jungkook pulled away from the embrace," His presence provides enough healing to me, a fresh breath to live." 

"You both could be imperfect together. He had made mistakes in his life, he ain't no saint. If I was here, I would have him imprisoned for torturing you with his avoidance and ignorant behaviour. You deserve none of it, no one deserves it except the one who caused it." 

"I'm afraid it was his past mate?" Jungkook said chuckling over his thought as he wiped his face clean. Both of them decided to take walks and cherish the night sceneries of Eclipse.

They were walking side by side, "He and more. I whole trap of rats with a piece of cheese in the center." Venom reflected in Madelyn's voice. 

"I'll be visiting Lunar for my next destination. I heard from Jimin that it's under Taehyung's governance now." Madelyn eyed Jungkook for confirmation.

"Yeah, Mother."

"Hmm. Then they should start preparation for my welcome." There was something deep lying under the words of Imperial Highness before Jungkook couldn't pick upon it, Madelyn starts laughing.

"What happened?" Jungkook asked, lost in thoughts.

"He still hadn't changed a single bit. Look." 

Jungkook looked around himself, the terrace was empty, there was no one," Who?"

"Your Alpha. Look down, he is staring at you. Probably have something to say to you. In childhood when he needs something , he come to me and keep staring until I ask him what happened."

Jungkook looked down and his eyes caught the grey ones instantly, his cheeks flushed when the Alpha diverted his gaze elsewhere. He was strolling in the area of Royal Lake, now sitting on the swing. 

"He is doing that a lot these days. I mean the staring," Jungkook says as his eyes were boring holes over the back of sitting Alpha. His eyes fluttered in embarrassment when Imperial Highness giggled beside him.

"He must have A Lot to say then. You should go." 

His giggles converted into laughs when Jungkook ducked his head in a bow and walked down the stairs. 

His laugh die down soon but a fond smile remained on his face," Young love. Your Son has finally found his peace, My Mio. I just wish he will cherish him for eternity."  

~

How many times Taehyung has watched the omega walking towards him? How many times? It was easier in the beginning to escape from his presence, ignoring reality altogether. It was easier until he witnessed the glint in those omegan eyes, sparkling with stars as they walked towards him. 

Why? 

Nowadays, Taehyung's voice and silence both carry questions. His heart reflects guilt sometimes, sometimes bears rage too and then there is pain… sweet and sour. 

The end is near. Taehyung could sense it, so he graced himself to watch the omega coming towards him with that same glint in his eyes. He will watch it because after tonight he is sure many things will change. Maybe the glint could change into nothingness, maybe the cheerful steps could change into slow slides and maybe the smile on his lips could change into sadness. Everything was doubtful but he was sure of one thing, after tonight, the omega will only walk away from him not toward him.

There was a painful pull that happened inside his ribs when the omega stepped in the lake area, walking slowly upto the swing. Taehyung dragged the tip of his shoe on the ground and the swing stopped moving. He got up from the swing but frowned deeply when his eyes noticed the red eyes and nose of the omega.

An evidence that the omega had cried. He looked towards the terrace again, there was no trace of his mother but it takes no insight to assume what must have happened. Yet he still asked.

"What did Mother say?"

Taehyung stepped aside from the swing and a part of space became visible to Jungkook to sit on. Luna takes the seat and the Alpha follows after, both of them turning their bodies inward to talk to each other.

And the swing starts moving, swooning Jungkook's heart along with it.

"Imperial Highness narrated some scenes of Mio and Madelyn which weren't written in the book." 

"Scenes which are intense enough to bring tears to a person's eyes?" Taehyung had no strains on his tongue, he needs to train it into muteness again.

Jungkook looked away at that and didn't reply to the Alpha. There is a faint blush on his cheeks and he realized he forgot his veil on the terrace. Then he remembered why he hurried down the stairs to meet the Alpha, His staring gaze.

Why? He wanted to ask.

But the Alpha replied before he could even open his mouth, " Don't ask why? Cause I don't know myself."

Jungkook blinked his eyes twice," Do you have something on your mind that you want to share?" 

The tip of Taehyung's shoes again grazed the ground and the swing came to a smooth halt. The Royal Alpha didn't ask about how the omega knows he has something in his mind or not. Because he has.

Taehyung bent forward, his both feet landed on the ground creating space between them and elbows took a place on his knees as he tilted his head towards Luna," I have something to share and I'm apologetic about it too." 

Jungkook's shoulders went tense at that, "Apologetic? What happened?" 

"It's about the time when you went under triggered heat and summoned me for the cure." Taehyung's eyes voyaged from Jungkook's forehead to his nose, avoiding his eyes clearly.

Jungkook's eyes withered in confused furrows but he nods at the Alpha, signaling him to proceed further.

"I have the ability to read people's past with the grace of my touch. It's not something that happens unconsciously, I have full control over it. I had only used it for rough matters before. But that day, when you were in a deep slumber, I used it on you." 

Jungkook went pale beside him, his face lost that faint blush as his eyes reflected a sudden hurt. A new ability? Used on me without my consent? He kept staring at the Alpha who had turned his gaze towards the ground.

"I apologize. I didn't intend to invade your privacy like that. I just looked out of curiosity and to confirm my doubts, I found out about how you were raised in Lunar and your relationship with your parents." 

"What kind of doubts you had about me that the Majesty of Eclipse had to assassinate my privacy and decided to not ask me directly?" Jungkook wasn't angry. He was hurt and the lower gaze of the Alpha gave him confidence to speak of his soreness.

"It carries no meaning now, left baseless and unproven." 

"But I want to know. What doubts you had and what you found as evidence?" The lower eyelids of Jungkook twitched, brimming with moisture. 

Taehyung looked down the moment he saw the hurtful eyes of the omega. He kept looking down, owning up to the misstep he took at the beginning. 

"All the doubts were the result of my past courtship, I was comparing you to the one who had betrayed me. I was over-cautious and was formulating alter motives beneath all your deeds. So I needed answers for the peace of my mind. I didn't ask because." 

The first tear rolled down over Jungkook's cheek when he completed the Alpha's last sentence," You don't trust me." 

The Royal Alpha looked at the omega again, eyes clear and crucial," Hadn't. I do now." 

Jungkook looked away at that, wiping his lone tear with his lapels. He stared ahead, not wanting to glance at the Alpha anymore," And what did you find as evidence to your doubts?"

Taehyung kept looking at the somber face of the omega, his posture was straight when he spoke," I found that you have no relation with the evility that betrayed my faith. Yet I did something that I shouldn't have, I wanted to apologize for a while now." 

"Being cautious to protect yourself isn't wrong. But I hadn't reckoned you as someone who would do this without my consent." Jungkook argued. His voice was low but intense, eyes completely avoiding the Alpha's presence.

"You have given me your consent although it wasn't cognizant." 

"When?" Jungkook asked as he skewed his gaze at him. 

"During the healing ceremony, you sang the words "I heard you can read and interpret everything, so please read me" I assumed that Jimin must have told you about my abilities but later I got to know that he didn't say anything about my touch." 

Jungkook gaped at the Alpha in pure surprise. He didn't mean those words to read him literally. His shoulders sagged when he chuckled at the mocking humor of the situation. 

He extended his hand towards the Alpha right away," Tell me what I am thinking at this moment." 

"I don't need to touch for reading thoughts. The touch is only helpful when I need to know the past of the person." Taehyung said, eyeing the stretched had towards him.

Jungkook tweaked his eyes in doubt, he moved his hand closer to the Alpha," I lost my hairpin in the evening. Tell me where I left it." 

The omega watched closely how Alpha's throat bobbed before he let out the words," Ask something else."

Jungkook raised his eyebrows in suspicion but bit his lips, thinking of another question," How many times have I made dinner in the fields?" 

Taehyung clasped his hand over the omegas' and focussed instantly," Twenty-one times."

Jungkook's body became less tense at that but it wasn't still enough," How many people I have beaten up till now?"

"Zero." 

"How many times have I won during fencing combat?" 

"Sixteen wins, one draw." 

"How many days have passed till I arrived in Eclipse?"

"453 days."

"My first friend?"

"A tadpole."

"The first disease I got in childhood?"

"Rhinitis."

"How many times have you kissed me till now?" 

"Eleven."

His life flashed in front of Taehyung's eyes as he snatched his hand off of the omega and blinked his head away.

Meanwhile Jungkook went utterly silent. His eyes were focussed on the Alpha and brain was diving in the lanes of the memories to count all the tokens of love and tokens of math.  

But none, none of the ways matched with the number the Alpha had just uttered so surely in front of him.

"When in the heavens-"

The Royal Alpha got off the swing and stood beside the boundary of the lake," Question was out of the trajectory, it's cheating. You are drifting away from the main concern." 

Jungkook observed the Alpha standing on the border of the lake, showing his backside as his hands were combined behind his back. He pushed the ground with his feet and the swing started moving again, he let the cool air of the past rainfall calm him down for a little while.

Jungkook got lost in thoughts, thinking about the ways he could question his Alpha more earnestly. He stopped the swing and got off to approach the Alpha.

"In order to trust me you had to look behind into my past," It wasn't a question but a statement that had Taehyung turned around to meet his gaze with the omega. Jungkook stood close to him and asked confidently," What should I look into then?"

"Whom should I believe that on the day of decision, you won't hurt me, won't leave me behind? If I disrespect the talk of the elders, What do I have to claim my trust over you?" 

The questions held the deepest fear of the omega, he was right in his opinion Taehyung was aware of that. All Jungkook had to trust were the conversations he had with Jimin and now his mother after all. The Alpha had never given him enough time to know each other better apart from this trip to the fields.

The Alpha was getting accused rightfully and Taehyung confronted the reality with his same stoic face.

"You trusted my character after looking over my entire life. What do I receive in return to trust over?" Jungkook asked again, eyes turning desperate, demanding answers.

He knows sentimentalism is not something to be traded but he needs something to put his feet upon. A stability. He was craving for that reassurance that his Alpha won't leave him again.

Taehyung stepped closer to Jungkook and grabbed his wrist in an assured hold," You will get to know about my character too." 

Jungkook didn't understand the words, the surprise spread on his face when Taehyung crossed their distance and pulled his body away from the lake. Jungkook eyed the hold on his wrist which was getting right with each passing moment.

They stepped inside the palace but not even in his wild dreams Jungkook thought that his Alpha would take the path that goes behind the stairs. The golden curtains stretched open by the Alpha and a dread fell on Jungkook, his heart moved and knocked down in the pits of his stomach.

The door of the library came into view and Jungkook looked at his Alpha with wide eyes. 

Taehyung stopped at the front of the door and vacated the omega from his hold," I request you to clean this library. You will find a piece of me on every shelf and in every corner. Burn the part of me that you despise, I have already gone through all the books over a century."

Taehyung stepped away from the omega," Go inside and find me, Luna. I will wait for you."
