Third person's pov

As Taehyung's eyes locked onto Jungkook, a mixture of emotions surged through his veins.

Without a moment's hesitation, he closed the distance between them, his heart pounding with a blend of shock. As he reached Jungkook, Taehyung's arms wrapped around him, pulling him into an embrace that was both desperate and tender.

Taehyung buried his face into the crook of Jungkook's neck, his breath mingling with the familiar scent of his mate, soothing his troubled heart.

He clung to him, his fingers curling into the fabric of Jungkook's attire.

As Taehyung backed away from the hug, he held Jungkook's hand and  pressed his lips gently against Jungkook's temple,

Though he was overjoyed to see his mate, couldn't help but feel a twinge of anger at the risks Jungkook had taken by joining the dangerous fray.

"My Luna, why did you come here, you know it's not safe in here," Taehyung said, his voice was loud yet laced with worry for his Luna.

Taking a deep breath, Jungkook replied, "Because I want to fight for my people "

"But still it's too dangerous Luna," Yoongi replied as he walked closer to them.

Jungkook smiled a little, "I appreciate your concern Hyung-nim, but I really want to fight, not as Jungkook but as the Luna of Lendorr. "

Yoongi nodded his head understanding.

Suddenly a solider named Jae-hyun spoke, his voice laced with concern and caution.

"Luna, I understand your bravery, but as an omega, it's too dangerous for you to fight. The risks are greater, and we cannot afford to lose our luna."

Jungkook's gaze flickered with determination, his voice tinged with a touch of defiance,

"I appreciate your concern, Jae-hyun, but know this I am more than an omega. I am the luna of Lendorr, bound by duty and love. It is my responsibility to protect our kingdom, our people, and the one I hold dearest in my heart."

"Luna, you will not participate." Taehyung said, he was still in the state of being surprised.

"Alpha-" 

"Omega," Hearing this, Jungkook bowed down,"You have to listen to your Alpha." Taehyung continued. 

The soldiers nearby exchanged glances.

"But I want to be there for the people, my people, our people." 

"You can assist and treat the injured but I won't allow you to participate and that is final." Taehyung was satisfied as he revived a nod from Jungkook. 

Soon They all again settled down,

" Luna, there are things that you need to follow in the battlefield " Taehyung spoke, his voice steady yet filled with concern.

Jungkook nodded his head indicating Taehyung to speak.

"Be vigilant, Luna. Stay aware of your surroundings and anticipate enemy movements. Trust your instincts, but also follow orders from our experienced commanders."

"And lastly, Don't shift as it will be easier for them to knock you down as you are an omega."

Jungkook's brows furrowed with focus, absorbing every word as if etching them into his memory.

Taehyung smiled a litte seeing Jungkook understanding everything carefully.

"Your bravery astounds me, Luna. But never forget that I need you safe so stay within the safety, " Taehyung spoke and this time his voice had softened and so his eyes,

Jungkook smiled brightly as he nodded with head.

After a 2 hours, at 2:00 am everyone started preparing themselves for the upcoming war,

As the time to don their war outfits approached, Jungkook found himself struggling with the weight and complexity of the armor.

The pieces felt heavy and unfamiliar, making it difficult for him to put them on alone. Sensing his distress, Taehyung stepped forward, his eyes filled with determination and a tender affection for his mate.

"Let me help you, Jungkook."

Taehyung moved closer, his touch gentle yet purposeful as he began securing the armor onto Jungkook's frame.

He fastened straps, adjusted plates, and ensured each piece was fitted correctly.

"Remember, the weight of the armor isn't just physical. It carries the hopes and dreams of our people, the love and trust they have placed in us. Wear it proudly, knowing that you fight not just for yourself, but for our kingdom and our future." Taehyung spoke in a gentle yet firm voice,

"I won't forget, Tae." 

With the armor now properly secured, Jungkook stood tall, feeling the weight of the armor both physically and emotionally.
