Chapter 48: HIS LUNA

 

Shadows of War—Rogue Ambush and Jimin’s Disappearance

The night was eerily silent, an unnatural stillness suffocating the air. The usual sounds of crickets and rustling leaves had disappeared, leaving only an unsettling void. The moon hung low, its silver glow casting eerie shadows across the dense forest that bordered the pack's territory.

Taehyung stood at the highest vantage point, his golden eyes narrowing as he scanned the treetops. His senses prickled with unease. Something was coming. He could feel it in the way the wind carried a scent—something pungent, something tainted with the metallic tang of blood and decay.

“Jungkook,” he murmured, his voice like a blade cutting through the tension.

Jungkook stood beside him, his violet eyes flashing with alertness. “I smell them too.” His wolf growled deep within him, sensing the danger that lurked just beyond sight.

A low, guttural howl erupted from the treeline, followed by the snapping of branches and the heavy thudding of feet against the forest floor.

Then, all at once, the night exploded into chaos.

Rogues poured into the clearing, their eyes wild with madness, their snarls sharp and hungry. They were more than just desperate wolves—they were creatures driven by something darker, something unnatural.

Namjoon’s voice cut through the mayhem. “Defend the pack!”

Wolves shifted instantly, launching into battle. The air filled with the sound of snapping jaws and the painful yelps of fallen warriors. The scent of blood stained the once-pristine land as bodies clashed in a ruthless fight for survival.

Jungkook lunged forward, his massive black wolf tearing through the first rogue with swift brutality. His fangs sank deep into its throat, silencing its snarl in an instant. Taehyung followed suit, his golden-black wolf form moving like a storm, cutting through the enemies with terrifying precision.

The pack fought fiercely, matching the rogues’ relentless assault with their own unbreakable determination. But something was wrong. The enemy’s attacks were too calculated, too synchronized. This wasn’t just another rogue ambush—this was planned.

Then came a scream—piercing and filled with raw terror.

Jimin.

Yoongi’s head snapped in the direction of the sound, his heart lurching painfully. “Jimin!” His voice was a feral snarl as he tore through enemies in his path, his wolf’s desperation overriding all sense of strategy.

Hoseok turned just in time to see a shadow dart through the battlefield, carrying a struggling Jimin over their shoulder. The Omega kicked and thrashed, his voice breaking into panicked cries as he was dragged into the depths of the forest.

“No!” Hoseok’s roar was raw with fury, his entire body trembling.

Yoongi didn’t hesitate. His wolf surged forward, blind with rage, tearing through any rogue that dared to slow him down. Hoseok followed, his breath ragged, his own wolf urging him to run faster.

“Jungkook!” Taehyung’s voice rang out, desperate and sharp. He had shifted back into his human form, his chest heaving, his hands bloodstained. “They took Jimin!”

Jungkook whirled around, his stomach dropping as he caught sight of Yoongi and Hoseok vanishing into the dark woods. “Shit! We have to go after them!”

Namjoon gritted his teeth, finishing off the rogue in front of him before turning to face them. “We can’t leave the pack vulnerable.”

“We don’t have a choice!” Taehyung growled, his golden eyes blazing with fury. “Jimin is our family. I will not let them take him!”

Namjoon hesitated for only a second before giving a firm nod. “Take a small team. The rest of us will hold the borders.”

Taehyung wasted no time. He gathered their strongest warriors before sprinting after Yoongi and Hoseok, his heart hammering with urgency. Jungkook ran beside him, his wolf howling in his mind, urging him forward.

The forest stretched before them, dark and filled with unseen dangers. The scent of Jimin’s fear lingered in the air, pulling them forward.

The pack had been attacked, and now Jimin was gone.

But they would get him back. Even if they had to burn everything to the ground to do it.

Chapter Forty-Eight "Phoenix in His Arms"

  Unpacking Surprises By the time Jungkook pulled up to the grand Kim estate, the sky had already darkened, signaling the approach of dinner. The day had been exhausting but thrilling, and despite his lingering annoyance with Taehyung, his excitement over their shopping spree overpowered his irritation—for now. After dropping his friends home, Jungkook walked inside with an exaggerated sigh, carrying numerous shopping bags with him. He didn’t even glance in Taehyung’s direction as he strode past him and straight into the living room, where Mr. Kim and Mrs. Kim were waiting for him. “Momma! Dada! You won’t believe the day we had!” he babbled excitedly, dropping onto the couch beside them. “It was insane! We went to Luxe Lane, and you should have seen Soobin’s face when I told him we own the place! He looked like he was going to faint! And then Jimin? Oh my god, he was trying on the most extra outfits ever, acting like he was walking down a runway! And Niki—she just kept piling...

Chapter Forty-Nine "Phoenix in His Arms"

  A Lesson in Temptation Jungkook crossed his arms stubbornly, his eyes darting anywhere but at Taehyung. "No way. I'm not doing this." Taehyung, leaning casually against the wall, arched an eyebrow. His dark eyes held an intensity that made Jungkook shiver. "Why not? You scared?" Jungkook scoffed, but the way Taehyung's gaze pinned him in place had his confidence shaking. That predatory smirk, the way his sharp features remained unreadable, yet his eyes burned with something unspoken—it was too much. Without another word, Jungkook grabbed the pile of revealing clothes and stormed into his walk-in closet, slamming the door shut behind him. He could already hear the low chuckle Taehyung let out from the other side, and it only fueled his growing frustration. "Damn you, Taehyung," Jungkook muttered under his breath, already plotting his friends' murder for putting him in this position. With a heavy sigh, he shifted through the ridicul...

Chapter Fifty-One "Phoenix in His Arms"

  Unbelievable Discoveries The sun had barely begun to rise when the Kim couple stealthily approached Jungkook’s room. Their steps were careful, their voices hushed as they communicated through silent gestures. They couldn’t afford to be caught—not when they were on a mission. “Be quiet! We can’t risk getting caught,” Mrs. Kim whispered, glaring at her husband as he accidentally brushed against the doorframe. “I am quiet,” Mr. Kim retorted in a hushed voice, rolling his eyes. “You’re the one whispering so loud.” Mr. Kim slowly turned the doorknob, pushing it open just enough for both of them to peek inside. Their eyes scanned the room, and their brows furrowed in confusion. Everything looked… normal. Too normal. Mrs. Kim frowned. “Everything’s tidy. Did nothing happen?” The bed was neat, the furniture was in place, and nothing seemed out of order. But that couldn’t be right, could it? Something must have happened. There was no way Taehyung had managed to keep his co...
