Third person's pov

As Arick stormed down the grand staircase of the palace, his parents, the King and Queen of Spiunknds, followed close behind, trying desperately to reason with their son.

"Arick, please listen to us," the Queen pleaded, "What you're doing is not right. You can't force someone to love you."

But Arick was consumed by his own desires, and his anger knew no bounds. He turned to face his parents, his eyes flashing with defiance. "I will do whatever it takes to make Jungkook mine!" 

The King stepped forward, "Son, love cannot be forced. It must be freely given," he said, "You must respect Jungkook's feelings and wishes."

But Arick's frustration boiled over, and he lashed out at his parents. "Enough! I don't need your lectures," he snapped, his voice cutting like a sharp blade. "Jungkook is meant to be with me, and I won't let anyone or anything stand in my way."

His parents exchanged worried glances, realizing that reasoning with Arick was futile at this moment. They knew their son well and understood the depths of his obsession. 

They reluctantly decided to support him, hoping that perhaps they could guide him toward a more rational path.

The next day.......

The sun rose over the kingdom of Spiunknds, casting a warm glow upon the palace. Arick made his way to Jungkook's room with a tray of breakfast.

However, his worry escalated as he saw Jungkook burning with fever, his face flushed and eyes glassy with illness.

"Jungkook, you're burning up," Arick said softly, reaching out to touch his forehead. But Jungkook pushed Arick's hand away with what little strength he had left. "Don't touch me," Jungkook pleaded, his voice hoarse and weak.

"Quickly, call the Royal physician!" Arick said, ignoring Jungkook's words,

As the physician arrived, he examined Jungkook and reassured Arick that it was a normal fever, likely brought on by stress and anxiety. With a brief examination, the physician left the room,

Arick tried to offer Jungkook medicine, but Jungkook's refusal only escalated his worry. "Please, Jungkook, you need to take the medicine. It will help you get better." 

But Jungkook's couldn't bring himself to comply. Tears welled in his eyes as he shook his head, unwilling to cooperate with the one who had caused him so much pain.

In a moment of frustration, Arick lost control and held Jungkook's mouth tightly, making him swallow the medicine against his will. 

As Arick left the room, he couldn't help but feel angry at Jungkook.

Jungkook was left sobbing in bed, feeling helpless and trapped in a situation he couldn't escape.

The moon shone brightly in the night sky as Vantae, raced through the kingdom of Lendorr.

The scent was faint, almost disappearing, but Vantae refused to give up.

"Jungkook," he whispered, his voice filled with longing and determination. "I'm coming for you."

Every corner and alleyway he explored seemed like a maze, but Vantae pressed on, following the faintest whiff of Jungkook's scent. The wind carried hints of the scent, teasing him, as if the universe itself was testing his devotion.

As he continued to follow the trail, memories of Jungkook flooded Vantae's mind, 

The moonlit night watched over him, as if guiding his path in this heart-wrenching pursuit.

The scent grew stronger as Vantae neared a secluded part of the kingdom. With every breath, he felt closer to his mate, but the anxiety only intensified as the scent seemed to lead him deeper into the unknown.

"Please be safe," Vantae whispered.

As the moonlight bathed Taehyung's strong and determined form, he looked up at the moon.

"I swear upon the light of the moon," Taehyung's voice rang out, "If anyone dares to harm my Luna, I will tear them apart with the fury of a thousand storms."

Taehyung's hand clenched into a tight fist, his emotions swirling like a tempest within him.

"Jungkook, my love," Taehyung whispered, "No harm will befall you while I'm still breathing."

As Vantae continued to follow the fading scent of his beloved Luna his heart raced with a mix of anxiety and determination. Each step he took felt like a heartbeat, propelling him closer to the kingdom of Spiunknds.

His speed increased as he drew nearer to the palace of Spiunknds. He navigated through the shadows with the grace of a wolf, moving with a silent urgency that was both awe-inspiring and terrifying.

In a moment of desperation, Vantae tried to mind-link Jungkook, attempting to connect with him mentally.

But there was no response. His heart sank with worry, realizing that Jungkook might be unconscious.

As he approached the palace gates, the guards trembled with fear at the sight of the powerful alpha.

Their attempts to stop him were feeble against the sheer force of Vantae's determination. With a single swipe of his powerful arms, he tossed them aside as if they were mere leaves caught in a storm.

As the commotion echoed through the palace, Arick and his parents rushed to the scene, their eyes widening in shock and fear as they witnessed Vantae's uncontrollable rage.

Vantae's eyes blazed with an intense golden fire as he sensed Jungkook's scent on Arick's clothes, confirming his worst fears. In an instant, he lunged towards Arick, grabbing him by the throat with a strength that seemed otherworldly.

"You dare to taint him with your filthy hands?" Vantae's voice was a deep growl.

Arick's eyes met Vantae's, a mix of defiance and desperation in his gaze. "You t-think you d-deserve him?" Arick shouted back, his voice cracking with emotion. "You're not-thing but an arrogant alpha who takes everything for grant-ted! Jung-gkook deserves someone who will truly ch-herish and appreciate him!"

Vantae's grip on Arick tightened, his anger rising with each word spoken against him. "You don't know anything about us," he hissed, his voice low and dangerous.

Arick's determination wavered for a moment, but he quickly regained his resolve. "Yo-uu think you can just come into our kingd-dom and take him away?" Arick challenged, "I w-won't let yo-ou have him!"

Arick's parents tried to intervene, pleading with Vantae to release their son. But Vantae's focus remained unwavering, his eyes locked on Arick with a mixture of anger and sorrow.

"Jungkook is my mate, Kim Vantae's mate." 

" Yo-ou kn-now wha-at, Ju-ungko-ook is ju-ust a slu-ut and y-yea I kid-ddnapped him bec-cause I wan-nted to ta-aste him "

"YOU DARE TO SPEAK FILTHY ABOUT MY LUNA!" Vantae's voice thundered, the sound of it echoing with power and anger.

Arick's eyes widened in fear, realizing the gravity of his words, but it was too late. In a flash, Vantae's primal instincts took over, and with a swift motion, he tore Arick apart.

The area was filled with a haunting silence, interrupted only by the echoes of Vantae's roars and the gasps of those who witnessed the scene in horror.

Arick's parents fell to the floor, their cries of anguish blending with the chaos around them. They had lost their son,

In that moment, Vantae's mind became singularly focused on one thought and one thought only: Jungkook. The rest of the world seemed to fade away, leaving only the image of his beloved mate in his mind's eye.

He threw Arick's ripped body on the floor.

He grabbed Arick's father by the throat, "Where is Jungkook?" Vantae demanded.

"He's... he's in the up-pper room," Arick's father managed to gasp out, fear evident in his eyes and tears.

With that information, Vantae threw him aside, his eyes never leaving the path ahead. He sprinted towards the room where Jungkook was held captive.

Without hesitation, Vantae's powerful legs delivered a mighty kick, shattering the door into pieces.

As he rushed inside, his eyes immediately fell on Jungkook, lying unconscious on the floor. 

"Luna!" Vantae's voice softened, transforming from the fierce alpha to the gentlest whisper in a matter of seconds. He dropped to his knees beside his mate, gathering Jungkook into his arms.

Tears filled Vantae's eyes as he cradled Jungkook's unconscious form. He showered him with tender kisses, as if each one could breathe life back into his beloved mate.

"Oh, my mo-oon," Vantae murmured, his voice trembling with emotion. "I'm here, my love. You're safe now."
