Chapter 54: HIS LUNA

 

The Silence Before the Storm

The air inside the war chamber was thick with unease. Taehyung sat at the head of the table, his fingers tapping against the wooden surface rhythmically. His sharp eyes scanned the room, taking in the tense expressions of his pack leaders and allies. It had been two days since Woosik had been freed from his seal, yet there had been no attack—no movement, no sign of aggression. The silence was unsettling.

Jungkook, sitting beside Taehyung, was finally free from the haze of his heat, his mind now clear and sharp. He observed everyone, reading their body language. They were all thinking the same thing—why hadn’t Woosik attacked yet?

Namjoon was the first to break the silence. “This doesn’t make sense. If Woosik is free, he should’ve launched an attack by now. We are vulnerable—at least, that’s what he must believe. So why is he holding back?”

Hoseok leaned forward, his brows furrowed. “He isn’t the type to hesitate. He must be planning something. Maybe he’s gathering forces?”

“That’s possible,” Jin agreed, crossing his arms. “But why wait? He already had an army before he was sealed away. Even if he lost numbers, he could’ve attacked immediately and caught us off guard.”

Jimin, still visibly shaken from his recent kidnapping, shivered slightly. “Maybe he’s playing with us,” he whispered. “Trying to make us paranoid. Keeping us on edge so we exhaust ourselves before the real fight.”

Yoongi exhaled sharply. “That would be just like him.” His fingers tapped against the table in frustration. “But if he’s stalling, there has to be a reason. He’s not just toying with us for fun—he wants something.”

Jungkook’s eyes flickered a deep purple for a split second before he spoke. “The witches said we only have one chance, it is do or die case, two Trueblood Alphas can't exist together, so either he or Alpha Taehyung will survive this war," he reminded everyone. “If Woosik knows that, he might be waiting for the moment we are not prepared to fight back with full strength. We need to stay alert.”

Taehyung’s gaze darkened. “Then that means he won’t attack now. He’ll wait until we’re most vulnerable.”

Namjoon nodded grimly. “That means we have to be prepared and alert. We need to assume he’ll strike the moment we showed a slight weakness.”

Taehyung clenched his jaw. “Then we’ll make sure he fails.”

The room fell silent again, the weight of the situation pressing down on them. They had been expecting an immediate battle, but instead, they were forced into a dangerous waiting game. One wrong move, and everything they had worked for would be lost.

Jungkook reached under the table, his fingers brushing against Taehyung’s in silent reassurance. Taehyung grasped his hand firmly, grounding himself.

“We don’t let fear control us,” Taehyung declared, his voice steady and commanding. “We train harder, stay alert, and prepare for the worst. If Woosik is waiting for our weakness, then we’ll be ready for him with full strength.”

A collective nod of agreement passed through the room. The next few days would determine their future.

And this time, they refused to let Woosik win.
