Month Nine. Full Moon Night.

The Palace was glowing. Literally:)

Moonlight spilled over the walls, hitting the high towers like silver fire. Every wolf in the empire could feel it..... a pull, a hum, a sacred buzz in their bones.

Because tonigh......

1:37 A.M.

"TAAAAAAAAE! THEY'RE COMING! THEY'RE COMING OUT OF ME!"

Taehyung jolted awake and immediately hit the floor face-first.

'Who's coming?! Who dares enter you at this hour-"

Jungkook was doubled over by the bed, hair a mess, sweat on his brow, hands on the massive curve of his belly.

"THE BABIES, YOU MORON!"

Taehyung's soul left his body.

"You're sure it's time?!" Taehyung shouted, running in circles like a headless chicken.

"NOOOO, I'M JUST HAVING DEATH CRAMPS FOR FUN, TAEHYUNG!"

"Okay, okay! Deep breaths!"

Jungkook screamed. "IF YOU TELL ME TO BREATHE ONE MORE TIME, I'LL SNAP YOUR ROYAL NECK."

Maids rushed in.. Poor Guards fumbled. Someone knocked over the royal soup pot.

Jin slipped on the floor and screamed, "THIS IS WHY I WEAR SLIPPERS IN PALACES!"

Namjoon sprinted in, shirtless and confused. "IS IT WAR AGAIN?!"

"NO, IT'S WORSE" Jimin yelled, holding ice cubes "IT'S CHILDBIRTH!"

2:10 A.M.

Jungkook was lying in bed now, surrounded by silken pillows, half-naked, sweat pouring, chest heaving.

His hands gripped the sheets like he was about to rip the world in half.The pain came in waves.Huge, bone-rattling, soul-splitting waves.

"I CAN FEEL THEIR CLAWS" Jungkook hissed. "THEY'RE TRYING TO DIG OUT. I SWEAR ONE OF THEM SCRATCHED MY SPLEEN."

Taehyung sat beside him, pale and terrified.

"You're doing amazing, my love."

"SHUT. UP. YOUR SPERM DID THIS."

Yoongi stepped in, calm as ever, holding royal herbs and an enchanted towel. "I warned you not to go raw on full moons."

"OH, EAT A SILVER D- AHHHHHHHH!"

Jungkook arched off the bed, howling.His eyes were glowing.The room trembled under his fury (pain).
---

2:39 A.M.

The doors burst open.

A group of healers entered, their robes embroidered with ancient runes, followed by the Royal Priestess.

"We've arrived to help deliver the heirs" the lead healer announced.

"You're late!" Hoseok shrieked. "HE'S BEEN SCREAMING FOR 45 MINUTES!"

The healer blinked."He's having twins. We're early."

"Do you want to deliver them?!"

"...Fair."

3:17 A.M.

The contractions grew worse.

Jungkook couldn't scream anymore! his voice was nearly gone.Tears streamed from his eyes.

His hands gripped Taehyung's as if he could draw strength straight from his soul.

"It hurts" he sobbed.

"I know, I know, I'm so sorry-"

"Don't apologize. Just don't let me die."

"You're not dying" Taehyung whispered, wiping his sweat. "You're surviving. Like the warrior you are."

Jungkook sobbed harder.

Namjoon cried quietly in a corner. Jin handed him tissues while dabbing his own eyes.

Jimin was chanting affirmations into a candle. Hoseok was pacing. Yoongi just sat still, watching, jaw tight.
---

4:46 A.M.

"Push" the Priestess said gently.

Jungkook shook his head. "I can't. I can't anymore."

"You must."

"I'm not strong enough-"

Taehyung cupped his face, eyes fierce.

"You carried them through war, through pain, through a world that tried to break us. You are strong enough."

Jungkook nodded, barely.

He pushed! He screamed.

The moon outside flared brighter.A wind burst through the window.The wolves in the city began to howl.

---

4:59 A.M.

A sound filled the room a soft, fierce, tiny cry.

A baby boy was lifted into the air.Covered in warmth and magic. His hair dark, his face round, eyes closed.

"He's healthy" the healer whispered. "Strong lungs."

They placed him on Jungkook's chest.

Jungkook cried, Then laughed,
Then cried harder...... 😭
---

5:14 A.M.

The pain came back.

Another wave.

Jungkook had nothing left but he gave it anyway.

One more push, One more scream and One more miracle.

Another cry, The second son was born✨.

Slightly smaller. But with eyes that opened instantly glowing bright amber like his father's wolf form.

He stared straight at Jungkook and blinked.Taehyung choked out a sob.
---

5:27 A.M.

Jungkook held both boys to his chest.

Their soft cries faded.They were warm.

One had Jungkook's button nose.The other had Taehyung's jawline already (curse him).

Both had their father's fire.

But they were home now.

They were safe.

"Look at them" Jungkook whispered, voice broken. "Look what we made."

Taehyung buried his face into Jungkook's neck.

"I love you. I love you so much. Thank you."

Jungkook weakly chuckled. "You're not allowed near my ass for at least six moons."

"Deal."

Everyone was crying. The kingdom outside howled in celebration.And the sky above the Crimson Empire turned silver with dawn.

Twin princes. Born of war. Heirs of wolves.
The Queen had bled for them.
And the King would burn worlds to protect them.
