LAST CHAPTER!

*

The wolf was big compared to Seokjin, almost as tall as his hip with its soft black fur and red eyes.

Seokjin looked at him, fangs pointed out and claws ready to rip open his skin.

How sad, to think that the wolf before him used to shoulder up all of his burdens.

Back then when he was still recovering, even until now, the black wolf would be the one who took the blame.

An omega.

The only one who survived.

A traitor.

Seokjin used to think like that, it was hard to accept the reality that he was not guilty.

Everything started to fall into their places, the conflict once again died out and what left behind was the ruins.

Maybe he could start over.

Maybe he could just lay there and go back to sleep.

It was easy to just shrug everything off like how he used to do.

To just run and shut his eyes, covering his ears.

But he ended up hurting too many when he ran away.

He remembered the day he almost runs from his mate, seeing Taehyung came and chased him off was the turning point.

That he would stop, he won't run away again.

Unrevealing the truth was never easy, finding the truth about his clan and even found out he had an aunt.

The black wolf once again growled at him, eyes sharp with the intention to kill Seokjin.

It was no lie, that Seokjin wronged the wolf countlessly.

The wolf never even once bite him, but he always blamed him.

Just because the wolf existed.

I'm sorry, he wanted to say.

Forgive me, he wanted to whisper.

But perhaps it wasn't what the wolf wanted, as Seokjin saw the wolf's ears flattened on his head and its tail tucked down between his legs.

Maybe the wolf never asked for an apology.

Not even once.

Seokjin knew, deep down what the wolf wanted the most, he walked slowly approaching the black creature.

Its eyes glistened, crimson orbs with unshed tears.

Seokjin's crooked fingers slowly touched its head, soft fur and the wolf whimpered as the omega caressed its head gently.

"It's alright," Seokjin knelt down before him, eyes softened as he tilted his head, "it's okay now," he continued.

The hand slowly pulled the omega closer, black fur changed into black hair and the wolf slowly morphed into his other form.

Seokjin held the little boy close, listening to their heartbeats as the little boy wailed inside his embraces.

"It's alright," he said once again, eyes teary and the tears drenched his cheeks.

The little boy sobbed harder, hand clenching the older man's shirt.

Seokjin smiled, looking down and watching his younger self hiccupping, he kissed the tears gently as he wiped the tears on the other cheek.

The image he hated the most, the little him who was too weak and helpless.

The little boy who was an omega, the one he desperately tried to change the most.

I accepted you.

Maybe the wolf never asks for an apology.

He just wants to be accepted.

"Seokjin hyung?" Taehyung's scent woke him first, the dense but sweet smell of chocolate and expensive tea.

When he opened his eyes, blinking slowly as his eyes adjusted to the dim light from the slightly opened tent's curtains.

Taehyung nosed his cheek gently, hands roaming on his naked body and their warmth mingled into one.

Seokjin blinked away his tears, Taehyung whined worriedly but Seokjin shook his head and let his alpha moved closer to his side.

"You okay?" the alpha asked, Seokjin eyed the narrow eyes and watched the dim light of the dawn illuminated Taehyung from behind.

He didn't answer at first, making Taehyung more confused, "Taetae," he called, the alpha immediately met his eyes.

"Yeah?"

Seokjin smiled, a thin smile, "I love you," he suddenly blurted out.

Taehyung was stunned, it was rare because he knew how the omega had trouble with expressing his love in a serious way.

Seokjin often said the word but the alpha knew it was hard to say it with the real meaning, but judging from the omega's eyes, Taehyung knew this was serious.

That was why Taehyung found himself shuddering and trying his best to stop crying, the warm tears pooling and his throat went dry.

The omega chuckled, cupping his alpha's cheeks and giving a chaste kiss on his forehead.

Taehyung gulped, shoulder trembling and Seokjin pulled him closer.

Kissing the tears away, hands caressing the ribs, feeling the beating hearts against his palm.

"I love you," he said again.

How long had his alpha waited patiently for him?

"I love you"

Waiting and hurting while Seokjin dealt with his complicated feeling

"I love you"

Chasing, pushing, and pulling

"I love yo-"

Lips touching, gently without any rush.

Slowly but surely, gasping for air as the lungs asked for more.

Seokjin smiled when Taehyung pulled back to the breath, it was never easy for them, especially for him

But the world blessed him with Taehyung and even though it took years for Seokjin to admit that this alpha was really here for him.

He felt happy, he finally let himself to feel happy.

Seeing the black wolf and the little boy, he chuckled.

They were happy, they were allowed to feel happy.

Took almost three years to re-establish the system.

The downfall of the north made so many nobles tried to revolt and take over the city.

The West, the East, and the South joined forced and made a new system.

More fair and friendly to the people, be it for noble or for the low status one.

They knew, this system would have flaws like the old one; the previous one.

No matter how good the system was, there would be always flawed they couldn't avoid.

Jungkook as the crown prince from the West was the head of the people that tried that best to rebuild the relationship between kingdoms.

Taehyung helped together with the other young generations, this successful plan made their names to be well known worldwide.

It was a piece of big news when they officially cut off their engagement in front of the minister from all of the kingdoms.

Jungkook was the one who brought the topic and luckily both of the kingdoms accepted without any disagreement.

It was a shocking decision since almost everyone loved the idea of Jungkook and Taehyung being together.

Strong alpha with another strong alpha, protecting their kin, the pure-blooded alpha.

"Seokjin hyung, you better hurry," Yoongi said while leaning to the wall, face bored but the corner of his lips quirked up.

The beta chuckled lightly when Seokjin stressed out with choosing the flower to be tucked into his blazer pocket.

"Come on," he sighed, picking up a flower randomly from the tray one of the maids held for them, "we all know no matter which one you chose Taehyung would love it.'

Seokjin pouted but his ears turned red, "why I choose you to pick this out with me," he complained.

Yoongi grinned, "Because I'm your best friend," he said proudly, Seokjin rolled his eyes but smiling after that.

"Now," Yoongi entwined his hand with Seokjin's hand, "we can start the engagement party of the prince without his fiancé isn't?"

Seokjin smiled, "alright, alright," he laughed it off even though he was so nervous.

The ballroom was crowded, people from the country and the other continent came to the party which held in the East Kingdom's main ballroom.

Taehyung was sitting beside his father with no fond expression, elbow supporting his head as he watched people came to greet them.

"Prince Taehyung, you should at least smile," Hoseok said, pitying the nobles who bowed their head and trying to pick a topic to talk about awkwardly.

Taehyung scoffed, face clearly annoyed with the fact he hadn't meet his omega since yesterday morning.

Seokjin was busy, with the fact of him as the last Cantarella and now helping Taehyung's mother, the Queen of the East to take care the kingdom's business; it was hard to meet each other.

"I miss him, hyung," Taehyung sighed, Hoseok gave an understanding chuckle.

The people became noisier when the guard announced another important arrival, Taehyung straightened up his back when his instinct spiked up and a big grin plastered to his face.

"Seokjin hyung!' he jumped out from his throne and both of the king and queen faces palmed but chuckled lightly as their son rushed to his fiancé's side.

They were happy, that their son finally settled down with the person he loved.

Not all of the people agreed with Taehyung and Seokjin but it wasn't something they couldn't take care.

Jimin and Namjoon bowed their heads to greet Seokjin and Taehyung but the omega hugged them, smiling happily to their friends.

Taehyung hugged Jungkook and both of the crown prince chit-chatting, talking about business and such while Seokjin happily talked with Namjoon.

Jimin punched Jungkook's shoulder lightly after Taehyung left with Seokjin, "isn't this is the perfect time for you too, your majesty?" he teased.

Jungkook tilted his head, giving a confused sound before he took a sip of his champagne, "you understand what I meant," Jimin rolled his eyes,

"There are so many people trying to woo you, prince Jungkook," he cleared out, Jungkook hummed and smiled to the lady who waved at him.

Jungkook shook his head, giving the empty glass to the servant, "well," he said, glancing to one person from the distance.

Jimin followed his gaze and honestly, the right-hand-man wasn't surprised to see Jungkook eyeing Taehyung from behind.

The young prince chuckled, knowing well even his servant couldn't tell his mind at all.

He gazed at the way his best friend, at the way Taehyung hugged his omega protectively.

Giggling with each other and smiles never leave their faces as they walked to the dance floor and started the first dance.

The young prince was, in fact, jealous with the couple o the dance floor, meeting their mates and ended up happily inside each other's embraces.

Able to recognize each other scent from afar, the bond formed not just because of political sacrifices but because they were indeed meant to be together.

Hand entwined together, never leave each other's side because they just couldn't leave each other alone.

Even stranger couldn't help but smile because of them.

Jungkook smiled sadly, his heart ached but that was okay because he knew this was the best answer.

In fact, it was never Taehyung who he watched from afar.

Nobody knew, but that was okay.

Because Seokjin was happy.
