Jimin's heart sank to the bottom of his body whenever he saw his lifeless best friend draped over Jungkook's wolf body. Tae was always petite but he looked so tiny and fragile in his current state. Especially being swallowed by Jungkook's clothes.

He ran out to meet the Alpha with some clothes and to help with the Omega. Jungkook quickly transformed and changed, not wasting a second before scooping Taehyung up bridal style and running inside. Tears filled his eyes as soon as he locked eyes with Asuna.

"Eomma- p-please" His voice cracked and he felt so weak in front of the Luna who was looking at him with such concern. Jungkook hadn't felt the urgent need to be hugged my his mother since that day when he watched his birth mother die—he prayed to himself that today he could hug Asuna out of gratitude and not mourning.

Asuna rushed over to the table and immediately began inspecting Taehyung's body. She could hear Jungkook's whimpers. "Kookie, I can't focus on Tae with you sitting behind me crying. I'm sorry I need you to wait outside" She didn't want to be harsh, she knew her son wanted to stay. Asuna loved Taehyung, it was hard enough seeing this state or his body—but combining that with her sons sobs. The feelings were overpowering her mind to the point where she couldn't focus on the healing.

Jungkook understood and stepped outside. Pacing back and forth in front of the pack house. Looking in every few moments. Replaying the first time he laid eyes on Taehyung over and over again. The former fluffy-pink-haired beauty was now lying on an operating table, barely clinging onto life. I swear to the moon, if you let Taehyung live moon goddess, I will not waste a single moment with him. Please don't take him from me. P-please. He could hear his voice crack in his thoughts. He looked around and saw that Jimin was inside with Asuna so he felt safe to sob. He sat up against a tree facing the Lunar pack house. Head in between his knees and sobbed. Kicking himself for all the things he should've done differently.

Over analyzing every interaction, the two had shared since they met almost two months ago. He can't help but wonder if things would have turned out differently. Had he ran after Tae the night of the festival—would he have already claimed him as his mate? Would Bogum have left him alone? Tae wouldn't have to suffer. Here he was again, suffering, because of me. Jungkook's sobs are louder now, broken and hoarse.

Suddenly he feels warmth. A familiar warmth but one that he isn't used to in the form of affection. He looks up to see Yoongi. Hugging onto him tightly. They've never hugged before.

"Y-yoo-"

"Shut t-the hell up, a-asshole. I'm hurting t-to ya know. I'm h-his guardian, I-I failed."

Hearing the strong and cold Yoongi so hurt made Jungkook realize just how important Taehyung was. Not just to him but to everyone he came into contact with. Reassuring himself that he was right to fall in love with the omega. He just stayed quiet. Hugging Yoongi back. Both Alpha's feeling defeated and vulnerable, fell asleep against that tree.

Jimin could sense Yoongi nearby so he glanced outside once Asuna was at a stable point. He immediately laughed and cried at the site of the big strong Jungkook cuddling up to a small Yoongi. Both with tear stained cheeks. Taetae, I wish you could see how much we all love you. Jimin smiled to himself, before snapping a picture of the two. He had to show Tae this when he woke up. I know you'll wake up, I can't wait to make fun of these idiots with you.

9 hours later. 8:20 p.m.

Jungkook and Yoongi were still asleep. Though they had been carried inside the house by JM and Namjoon. Both chuckling at how childish their boys' looked cuddle up against the tree.

Both Pack Alphas, Seokjin, Hoseok and Jimin all sat in the living room. Patiently waiting and watching Asuna. Who at this point was exhausted. Healing wolves is tiring—but healing a wolf of Taehyung's power level, is enough to drain all of Asuna's energy. Luckily for her, Hoseok is present. Though he has to limit his choices—unable to reveal his identity. He grants small blessings to Asuna every half hour, replenishing her energy in small amounts. Unable to sustain another minute of waiting, Namjoon stand up and begins to pace the room.

Taehyung looked horrible. There were cuts and bruises on nearly every inch of his body. Various love bites that they could tell were not given out of love...the marks on his wrists and ankles were welped and oozing blood. Tae's usual bouncy hair was stringy and stuck to his scalp. His collarbone was even more exposed than normal—telling them that he hadn't eaten in the 24 hours that he was gone. The only good thing is that his breathing had been stabilized. Asuna managed to stabilize Taehyung's breathing two and a half hours into the healing procedure.

She cried silently to herself whenever she saw Taehyung's chest rise completely and fall slowly. It almost felt as if she was watching new life pour into the young wolf.

Another two hours pass whenever Jungkook finally wakes up. Whenever he does he looks around to see a living room full of sleeping wolves. The only ones awake now were him, Hoseok and of course Asuna. Who is now on 11 straight hours of healing. Thank the goddess for Hoseok's close relationship to the two packs, otherwise there is no possible way Asuna would have been able to heal this wolf. She knows that.

Just whenever it was silent enough that they could hear nothing but the snores of the sleeping wolves around them. A faint cough erupted.

Jungkook immediately jumped up and rushed over to Tae. Who was now coughing up blood and some other black substance. He rushed to the kitchen to grab a warm towel to clean off Taehyung with and a basket to catch anything else that he would cough up.

This went on intermittently for another half hour. Finally, Asuna had Taehyung stable enough that she could rest. Though she didn't want to, Hoseok demanded she rest and finish Tae's healing in the morning. Hoseok himself needed to rest. As the clock struck midnight Jungkook was now the only one awake. Happy Birthday to me. He thought to himself sadly, this was the last thing he wanted for his birthday.

Lying his head next to Taehyung's body, he felt a burning sensation come over him. He had never felt this feeling before. He sat up and tried to shake his head to get rid of the sensation but when he placed his hand back on Tae's it came back. It was raging. It was his wolf. Jungkook let out a low growl and smile. I knew you were my mate. He brought Taehyung's small hand to his mouth and placed a light kiss.

Leaning into Tae's ear he whispered lightly "Whenever you are fully recovered, I'm gonna finish what we started a month ago." Blushing to himself at the thoughts going through his head. He knew he shouldn't have such lewd thoughts while Taehyung was unconscious. He just couldn't help it. This was the first time he felt a wolves rutting.

He looked up again and ran his fingers through Taehyung's red hair. Every single touch with the omega set his body on fire in the best way. He thought to himself wondering what Taehyung was dreaming about. He closed his eyes and felt a sharp pain in his head.

I'm cold. I want to go home. Jungkook, where are you?

Jungkook jolted up. That was Tae's voice. How did he hear Tae's voice in his head. Confused he decided to brush it off as him being tired and laid back down. Then he began thinking of the omega and again was jolted up.

I never should've left. This wouldn't have happened. I always do this. I always ruin everything.

Jungkook felt sobs coming down his cheeks. He didn't know how or why but he knew that these were the exact thoughts going through Taehyung's mind at the moment. So without another moment he looked up at the sleeping omega and placed a soft, short peck on his lips. Trying to keep his stomach from the back flips it was doing. He leaned down to Tae's ear again and whispered sweetly. "I'm here, Tae. This isn't your fault. It's mine. It's always been my fault. I was a coward but I'm not anymore. So, wake up. Wake up so that I can love you." Tears streaming down his face, he felt a hand place on his shoulder. He looked up and saw Hoseok smiling at him warmly.

"I see you've discovered your gift?" Hoseok smirked knowingly

Jungkook was puzzled but before he could ask Hoseok was already walking away. Satisfied.

Jungkook was smiling larger than he had in over a month. He knew that his mate was going to be okay. It warmed his heart knowing that even in this distraught state—Taehyung was thinking of him too. So he lay his head down and allowed himself to sleep while holding tightly onto the Omega's hand.

~September 1st. 4:00 a.m.~

Where am i? Am I home? What is on my hand?

Taehyung looked up and gasped. In the room he saw his parents, Yoongi, Jimin, Alpha JM and Luna Asuna—all asleep in his living room. Then he looked down at the warm weight on his hand and saw none other than Jeon Jungkook.

Tae's heart skipped a beat at the sight. Jungkook looked so beautiful the way he was sleeping and his hand felt so good. Flashes of the last 48 hours began to flash through his eyes and Tae felt tears streaming. He clenched onto Jungkook's hand tightly trying hard to muffle his cries.

He was certain that the people in the room with him had endured enough emotions—he didn't want to cause anymore. Taehyung almost whimpered whenever he felt Jungkook's hand release. He opened his eyes and locked eyes with the brunette in front of him. "Jun-" Unable to finish his sentence. Jungkook cupped his face into his warm hands and placed a passionate kiss on his lips.

Suddenly both wolves forgot everything. Their minds went blank. It was as if nothing that transpired over the last two months mattered. The only thing that mattered in this moment was this. Their kiss, their love. That neither of them had admitted to the other yet.

Taehyung was so sure on rejecting his mate whenever he stepped off the plane. However all it took was this one kiss to make him forget all of that. This was perfect. This was everything he needed.

Taehyung was the first to pull away, to take a breath. He rested his forehead on Jungkook's. Jungkook was crying, he felt like he was dreaming. He locked eyes with the Omega in front of him again. He had to ensure that this wasn't a dream. "T-tae? This is r-real right?"

Taehyung couldn't help but laugh. It was faint but it was just enough to send chills down Jungkook's body. It was the laugh. The laugh he dreamt about. Before Tae could say another word Jungkook took him in again for another passionate kiss. This one was a little softer but just as loving. Tae felt as if he could feel everything Jungkook wanted him to in that moment. Neither of them wanted to release from this position. Their soft lips connected, dancing together as if they had done it a million times before. However, they knew they needed to breathe at some point.

Tae broke the kiss "What time is it? What day is it?" suddenly realizing he had no idea how many days he was in the bunker with Bogum.

Jungkook smiled, knowingly, "It's almost 5 a.m. on September 1st." He winked at Tae's direction.

A loud gasp came out first followed by a loving "Happy Birthday, Kookie." Taehyung bit his lip nervously. Remembering what he originally planned to do today. "So uh—Kookie, how do you feel? Ya know, you're officially an adult..." Does he know yet? Can he feel it yet?

Jungkook just smirked, knowing exactly what Tae was insinuating. He leaned right next to the Omega's ear, in a deep husky voice he murmured "I feel like I can't wait until you're fully healed." He looked up to see Taehyung a blushing flustered mess. He couldn't help but chuckle. Tae looked so damn cute.

"I see. Well, I guess that means you know that I'm your mate." Tae wiggled his eyebrows suggestively at the alpha in front of him. Tae has had more dreams than he's willing to admit of the continuation of their festival night.

Once again, before he could let out another word. Jungkook took him in for another kiss. This one was heated. Desperate. Lustrous. It sent a burning flame throughout both wolves bodies—causing both to emit a low growl that startled the rest of the room. Though neither of them noticed. They were too caught up in the heat of this kiss. Both of them had been wanting this—needing this but they knew they couldn't have it, at least not yet."

Seokjin releases a very exaggerated cough.

"I hope my son has had a moment to breathe before you attacked his face, Jeon Jungkook."
