Jungkook stood barefoot on the cold marble silk robes whispering against his ankles.

The moon heavy in the sky glowing crimson a bad omen to most but not to him.

Not to the White Wolf.

Not to Kuro who padded beside him in silence.

The wolf's fur glimmered with frost, eyes like frozen skies glowing in the dark.

"They're watching" Kuro said in Jungkook's mind voice rich and velvety.

"I know" Jungkook murmured aloud. "Let them. They've only seen the consort. The lover. Never the Alpha."

Kuro huffed in amusement. "You always were dramatic."

"And you" Jungkook smirked, "were always late."

Kuro growled playfully."I arrived in your third heat while you were crying naked in a dungeon."

"And I've never been more grateful" Jungkook whispered softly, tone dipping into something reverent.

Silence stretched between them, The kind of silence that settles before a storm.

Then Jungkook's eyes snapped toward the trees.

"They're here."
-----

Twelve figures stepped into the moonlight. Tall, scarred, and cloaked in black, each of them bore the sigil of the White Fang a pack thought dead, buried with the ashes.

But they knelt.

All of them.

"Kuro" a scarred Alpha said. "Is it really you?"

Kuro didn't answer. Jungkook stepped forward instead.

"It's me" he said. "I'm your Alpha now."

One of them, a female with blade-slit eyes, tilted her head. "You were just a boy when we last saw you."

Jungkook smiled coldly."And now I'm your King."

Kuro growled once, quiet but commanding. A wave of loyalty pulsed outward.

The pack rose.

War had a new general.😌

Next morning✨

Taehyung stood waist-deep in steaming water, head tilted back, arms out, body covered in claw marks and bruises that pulsed with pleasure.

The scent of Jungkook still clung to him.

He didn't bother hiding his smirk when Jungkook entered.

"Still soaking in the aftermath of your godlike performance?" Jungkook teased, stepping into the water with a sigh.

"You let me mark you" Taehyung said again, still dazed. "That wasn't just Rut, Jungkook. That was..."

"A bond solidified" Jungkook said, swimming closer. "And now it's permanent."

Taehyung touched the mark on Jungkook's neck. "You're mine."

"And you're mine" Jungkook whispered, then kissed him slow and deep, the kind of kiss that promised war and worship all at once.

But their won't peace last long.....

The Council Meeting✨

Namjoon slammed the bloodied map on the council table. "The border cities are falling. One after another. They're targeting allies first."

"They're waiting for you to crack" Jin said to Taehyung.

Jimin stared at the prophecy again. "The King's rut will ignite war... And the White Wolf will decide who survives."

Everyone looked at Jungkook.

He met their gaze calmly. "I already decided."

"What do you mean?" Hoseok asked.

"I called the pack" Jungkook said. "The real rebels. The ones who survived. They're here."

"Inside the palace?" Yoongi snapped.

"No" Taehyung said, stepping in front of Jungkook protectively. "They're with the palace now."

Yoongi leaned forward."So what's next?"

Jungkook unrolled the map the masked figure left. Marked were multiple noble houses enemies pretending to be allies.

Symbols hidden beneath their banners. Traitors among them.

"We strike first" Jungkook said.

Taehyung smiled.

----

Taehyung and Jungkook stood beneath the stars, wind howling around them.

The palace below was quiet. But not for long.

"Do you trust me?" Jungkook asked, eyes shining with quiet steel.

"With my soul" Taehyung replied.

"Then fight with me" Jungkook said. "And after this... I'll tell you what else the prophecy said."

"Tell me now."

Jungkook leaned in, lips brushing Taehyung's ear.

"It said our sons would be born beneath the red moon, twin wolves who'll rule over flame and frost."

Taehyung froze.

Then smiled.

And the wind howled louder carrying V's voice into the night.

"Let them come."
