Jungkook woke up feeling content, the warmth that surrounded him felt heavenly. He was engulfed in his mate's scent, his body and mind both relaxed.

His eyes opened to a semi bright room, sunlight leaking in through the closed curtains. His back was pressed against a hard chest, his mate's arms wrapped protectively around him, Taehyung's face nuzzled in his neck, blowing small puffs of air.

Jungkook hasn't felt this amazing in such a long time. Even though Taehyung had been living in the same room with him, they had never cuddled before. It was such an amazing feeling to wake up in your mate's arms. Jungkook realized now why the hyungs always whined about wanting their mate. The feeling was indescribable.

He felt Taehyung stir, pulling him closer, a soft kiss landing on the back of his nape as Taehyung huskily said, 'Goodmorning Angel '

Taehyung's voice was deeper than normal, husky and laced with sleep. Jungkook decided then and there that it was his favourite sound in the whole world.

'Morning', he whispered back, turning his body to face his mate.

Taehyung was shirtless, an outcome of Jungkook's brave actions yesterday. His neck and shoulders were littered with dark purple and pink hickeys, some darker than yesterday.

Taehyung looked so beautiful, it should have been a crime. Jungkook couldn't help but wonder how the hell does his mate look so good early in the morning, just after waking up. His hair was messy, strands poking everywhere, his eyes a little swollen and his lips were slightly pouted. All in all, he looked heavenly.

'How do you look so good in the morning?', Jungkook asked, tracing a finger on Taehyung's cheeks.

Taehyung's smiled, that beautiful boxy smile.

'You should look at yourself Angel. You look so adorable I could eat you'

Jungkook blushed. Taehyung had a way with words. He always managed to make Jungkook flustered without even trying.

Taehyung gently leaned forward to peck Jungkook's lips and then his forehead, letting his lips linger there for a few seconds.

Jungkook's eyes closed on instinct, feeling those soft petals on his skin. He sighed in bliss, a gentle smile gracing his lips. He could get used to waking up like this every day.

'Let's get up. You didn't eat anything yesterday Angel. Let's get some food in that belly of yours', Taehyung pecked his lips again as he slowly slid off the bed, pausing to look at Jungkook one last time, who was shamelessly gawking at Taehyung's bare back.

Taehyung chuckled, shaking his head. His mate was adorable.

'Come on Koo. Let's go'

Jungkook hurriedly got out of the bed and headed to the bathroom.

Jungkook got in to shower while Taehyung brushed his teeth. The shower curtain was thick, but still slightly see through, making Jungkook's silhouette stand out.

Taehyung tried his best to look anywhere but at the shower curtain, his wolf not cooperating with him.

'You do know I can hear your thoughts right?', Jungkook suddenly spoke, his tone amused. It reminded Taheyung of the first time he met his mate in his human form, when he had asked this same thing through the mind link.

Taehyung chuckled as his ears burned. He did know that but he chose not to close the link. There was nothing to hide from his mate.

'I know Angel. I left it open on purpose. I want you to know my thoughts, I don't have anything to hide or be ashamed of'

Jungkook smiled brightly at that. Taehyung trusting him with his emotions was a huge deal, it solidified their relationship and its foundation. It was a big step forward.

After Jungkook finished showering, Taehyung made his way to shower as well, seeing as they both had skipped showering yesterday.

Taehyung walked out, a towel wrapped around his waist, water droplets cascading down his abdomen. He looked at his mark in the mirror, tracing it slightly with his fingers, feeling tingles shoot up just at the mere touch. His neck and collarbones looked like a painted canvass and Taehyung couldn't wait to flaunt it.

'If you keep staring at yourself half naked, I might start getting dirty thoughts Tae', Jungkook stood by the door of the bathroom, raising one eyebrow and checking Taehyung out.

Taehyung chuckled as he turned around, 'oh but baby, you are already having those thoughts. I can hear you thinking about running those pretty hands of yours all over my skin, using that mouth to leave more marks.'

Taehyung walked over and grabbed Jungkook by his waist gently, his body pressed against his mate, as he passionately latched their lip together. Jungkook responded immediately, his hands running up and down Taehyung's shoulder blades.

Their tongues were dancing, a dance only they knew as their lips perfectly molded. Taehyung detached his lips and softly pecked kisses on Jungkook's jaw, moving towards his neck and finally stopped at his mate mark. As soon as his lips touched the mate mark, Jungkook's body arched in pleasure as a low moan left his mouth.

Taehyung teased on the mark a little, nibbling on the skin and placed a soft kiss on it again before pulling away and softly smiling at Jungkook.

'I just can't get enough of you Koo', His eyes scanned Jungkook's features, those pretty doe eyes, the prettiest eyes Taehyung had ever seen, that cute button nose and those enticingly sinful lips. The mole underneath the bottom lip looked so inviting that Taehyung kissed it softly, making Jungkook sigh in bliss.

Taehyung pecked his lips one more time before leaving a dazed Jungkook to go get dressed.

It was like the marking has flipped a non existent switch. Taehyung had turned from an inexperienced trueblood to a dominant trueblood who was loving and extremely romantic, not to mention touchy. Jungkook loved every single bit of it. The way Taehyung wasn't afraid to be intimate with him made his insides giddy and he couldn't help but thank the moon goddess for this wonderful change.

Walking up to the kitchen, Jungkook couldn't help notice how Taehyung had a very mischievous personality. It showed through before but now, Jungkook was sure of it. Taehyung had opted to wear a sleeveless shirt, with a deep neck which showed off the hickeys that Jungkook left very prominently and the mate mark was on full display.

There were wolf whistles as they entered the kitchen, the hyungs gawking at the trueblood who looked like a plague victim because of all the bruises.

'Damn. Jungkook turned into a raccoon and here we thought you killed each other', Hoseok commented even before Jungkook could settle down.

Jungkook groaned, slightly embarrassed, 'Shut up hyung. As if you never marked Chaeyoung Noona like that'

Hoseok laughed loudly, loving the way Jungkook's face was so red with embarrassment, 'yeah well, atleast that only happens when we have sex. You haven't even mated yet and look at Taehyung. I'm pretty sure when you mate, his entire body will be painted with bruises'

Jungkook hid his face in his hands as he blushed ferociously. The hyungs were all laughing, loving the way Jungkook turned into a blushing mess.

'Okay stop teasing my mate. I love the marks he left and I will love getting my whole body painted if he is the painter', Taehyung said as he pulled away Jungkook's hands from his face and lovingly pecked his forehead.

If tomatoes were red, Jungkook was even more so. He felt so loved even during that embarrassing moment, that he couldn't help but lean in for a kiss, which Taehyung gladly returned.

The hyungs cooed at the adorable pair who were looking at each other like they were staring at their whole world.

Jin looked at Jimin who winked back in response. Another successful plan from the Jin-Min duo.

_________________

It was finally the day of the official hand-over ceremony. It was three days after the marking and Jungkook was on cloud 9.

His mate had become extremely romantic, initiating skinship nearly all the time. Even right now, one of the trueblood's hands were on Jungkook's waist as they stood in the packground, overlooking the decorations.

His father had went all out with the ceremony. It looked like a wedding was about to happen rather than a handover ceremony. Jungkook had asked Taehyung if he wanted to become an official pack member and if he would like to have the ceremony today alongside the handover. Taehyung had agreed. Secretly, Jungkook was hoping Taehyung would agree because then he can officially announce Taehyung as his mate and Luna of the pack.

Not like he didn't basically announce it to the pack already, albeit in a rage.

Thus, the pack was in a somewhat chaotic state. Jin was running around making sure the food was prepared properly, Hoseok and Namjoon were busy with making sure the decorations and sitting arrangements were done on time, while Yoongi was busy with the packwarriors, making sure they were vigilant incase an attack happened during the ceremony. Jimin, on the other hand, sat on one of the chairs, enjoying a bowl of strawberries, his pregnancy was finally showing through and none of his friends were allowing him to even lift a finger. Yes, even Taehyung had asked Jimin to rest.

Jungkook left to get dressed, it was an important occasion for him and his mother had insisted he wear the suit she had bought for him.

Jungkook slipped on the coat, nervously straightening out any wrinkles. His hair had slightly grown in the past few months and he had yet to get a haircut. Maybe he won't considering how Taehyung loves running his fingers through his hair.

The bedroom door opened and Taehyung walked in, smiling as his eyes fell on Jungkook.

'You look so handsome Koo', Taehyung gushed out, his eyes raking over Jungkook's body. Dressed in a black suit with silver linings, Jungkook looked like a sinful dream.

Taehyung carded his fingers through his mate's hair, messing it up a bit. He loved how messy hair looked on Jungkook, it made his mate look sexy asf.

'Wait a second love', Taehyung said as he walked to the dresser, oblivious to how his words affected Jungkook. Love. Taehyung had been calling him love lately, and it always made Jungkook's heart race.

He had learnt to keep the bond closed at times, especially at times like this. It wasn't like he didn't want the trueblood to detect his thoughts, he was just a little embarrassed about it.

Taehyung walked back to Jungkook with a few silver earrings, two round circles and one dangling one. Taehyung had gotten to love how earrings enhanced a look, especially on his mate.

As he completed Jungkook's outfit, his hands rested on that tiny waist of his mate, he smiled brightly looking at the masterpiece of a man in front of him.

Jungkook was breathtakingly gorgeous. There was no other way to explain it. His mate was the prettiest person Taehyung had ever seen and he could compliment him every second of the day, if he could.

'You look gorgeous Koo. So so gorgeous ', He watched as Jungkook's face changed colour, the redness seeping in coloring his cheeks, even the tips of his ears. Red looked so beautiful on Jungkook.

'One thing is missing though ', Taehyung tsked, smiling when he saw Jungkook look at him curiously.

Taehyung leaned in to catch Jungkook's lips with his own, sucking on it gently, nibbling a little bit. When he finished, Jungkook's lips looked slightly swollen and oh so pink.

'There', Taehyung smiled fondly, 'all set now'.

Jungkook bit back a smile as he hugged his mate, the trueblood returning the hug with the same enthusiasm.

'Nervous?', Taehyung asked, still caught up in the hug.

'Hmm', Jungkook responded, burying his face deeper into Taehyung's neck.

'Don't be. You'll make a great leader. You are already amazing, the pack loves you. You will be great Love. ', Taehyung softly pecked Jungkook's hair, running his hand over Jungkook's back, comforting his nerves.

'Aren't you going to get dressed?', Jungkook asked as he detached himself from Taehyung.

'In a bit. Jimin insisted he dress me up. Said he had an outfit chosen by the Luna for me', Taehyung replied, scrunching his nose a little.

Jungkook laughed at that, knowing fully well Jimin was gonna doll up Taehyung. Jimin loved dressing people up and he had been whining about doing the same to Taehyung for a while now. Guess he got his wish.

'Well, I'll get going. I have to meet up with dad first. See you at the ceremony Tae', Jungkook softly pecked Taehyung's lips as he walked to open the door, nearly colliding in a pregnant Jimin.

'Sorry,' He squeaked, afraid he hurt Jimin.

'Oh shut up!', Jimin swatted his hands, 'I'm not made of glass you know'

Jungkook laughed and shook his head, walking out of the room.

'Ready Tae?', Jimin grinned mischievously, holding up a white suit.

Taehyung groaned. He didn't like the look on Jimin's face one bit.

_______________________

Jungkook stood on the makeshift stage that was put together by the pack, looking at the faces of his pack members, all of who were his family. Some of the female wolves were looking down, refusing to meet his eyes and Jungkook knew why. These were the females who had been trying to get closer to Taehyung and apparently, Jungkook's outburst had made quite an impact because now, they didn't even dare look at the trueblood.

His father stood beside him, proudly smiling. Jungkook smelled the scent of his mate and turned around, only for his jaw to drop.

If angels could walk on earth, then Taehyung would definitely be an angel. His mate looked so ethereal, dressed in white, his face glowing.

Jungkook noticed his hair, surprised because it appears that Jimin had given Taehyung a haircut. It wasn't really short, but not very long either. Taehyung's hair was parted in the side, but covering his forehead a little. He wore a white shirt, with white pants and white shoes. Over the outfit, he wore a long white coat, reaching the floor. He had a feathered earring in one ear. All in all, he looked beautiful.

'You are drooling baby', Taehyung mused, smiling when he saw Jungkook rake his eyes all over his body.

'You- Fuck.', Jungkook couldn't even word a sentence, his hormones were going haywire,' you can't look that good and expect me to not drool'

Taehyung chuckled, pulling Jungkook into his arms, hands resting on the Alpha's waist, 'I'm all yours love. You can drool all you want. I aint complaining '

Jungkook smiled, pecking Taehyung lips, only to find that the trueblood had lip gloss on. His lips were painted a pretty pink, making the trueblood look even more pretty.

Junghwan cleared his throat, interrupting the pair, motioning them to face the crowd.

'Shaded Moon Pack, tonight we have gathered for a very important event, one where I will be stepping down as the head alpha, and my son will be taking that position. It is a great honor to serve as a pack's alpha, to have that responsibility to protect your family. You had trusted me years ago to lead you and I am forever grateful to you for that. Today, you are putting that trust in my son, and I hope he will not disappoint you. Jungkook, come forward'

Jungkook walked to his father who was standing in front of a golden bowl, holding a knife in his hands.

'Bring you hand forward,' Junghwan directed, holding Jungkook's hand and making a small cut in the palm, doing the same to his hand. 'I, Alpha Jeon Junghwan, Head Alpha of the Shaded Moon Pack, hereby relinquish my title as Head Alpha and appoint you, Jeon Jungkook in my place'. Junghwan joined their hands together, the blood mixing, and Jungkook felt immense power rush through him, a stronger bond being created with all the pack members.

Cheers erupted as the pack felt their connection with the new head alpha strengthen, and Jungkook smiled brightly.

'Thank you everyone. For trusting me to lead you. It's a great honor to lead this pack and I hope to live up to your expectations ', Jungkook scanned the faces of his pack members, pride filling his chest. 'Now, as the first official duty, I will be welcoming a new member in the pack, Alpha Kim Taehyung'

Taehyung walked to Jungkook who turned around and faced him, smiling softly. He placed his hands into the Jungkook's, who repeated the same process as his father, making a small cut, and joining their hands together.

'I, Head Alpha of the Shaded Moon Pack, Jeon Jungkook, hereby welcome you, Trueblood Alpha Kim Taehyung to our pack as an official member', Taehyung felt the connections sweep in, overwhelming his senses, he could feel each members connection, a warmth feeling his chest.

Jungkook squeezed their joined hands, and turned to face the pack again.

'Shaded Moon, I have another announcement to make,' Taehyung looked at Jungkook curiously as his mate spoke, 'as you all know that Alpha Kim Taehyung is my mate, today, he is officially crowned as the Pack Luna'

The crowd erupted into cheers again, happiness flooding the venue. Taehyung kept looking at Jungkook, his eyes glistening as his emotions overwhelmed him. He wasn't aware that Jungkook was going to make this announcement. He had figured Jungkook would wait for the mating to complete first. But as always, his mate surprised him.

'Tae? Are you okay with the announcement? I'm sorry I didn't ask you. I wanted it to be a surprise,' Jungkook looked at Taehyung worriedly.

Taehyung laughed, a few tears escaping, and hugged Jungkook tightly.

'Thank you. I loved this surprise of yours and I'm so grateful. Thank you Koo'

Jungkook felt at ease. Finally everything was going great. He was happy, Taehyung was happy and the pack was happy.

But as they say, happiness doesn't last very long.
