"Maa, open your eyes, talk to me please, don't leave me, NO!" Taehyung screamed awake, panting and sweating, feeling as if someone was pounding on his head with rocks, "Ugh," the Omega groaned, clutching his head.

"Tae, are you okay, does it hurt anywhere!?" A familiar worried voice asked, the Omega rubbed his blurry eyes and blinked to see his friend Hoseok sitting on the corner of his bed, concern etched on his face.

"Hobi Hyung?" Taehyung asked in a daze, as he slowly looked around and realized he was in his own cosy bedroom, but all of a sudden, the events of the moonless night hit him like a boulder, his heart skipped several beats at the recollection of his mother's state.

"Maa!" Taehyung gasped, "Hyung, where is my mother!?" The Omega asked, his body jolting in worry, he was so stupid, how could he have collapsed like that when his mother was bleeding so much, she was alive right? Alpha Hyungsik had come, he had saved her right?

Taehyung's thoughts were in absolute splits, he wasn't even able to hear what Hoseok was replying to him, he was shaking, incapable of any rational response, the Omega sprung out of bed, his breathing uneven.

"Taehyung, listen to me first!" Hoseok shook the troubled Omega back to his senses, with a firm grip on his small shoulders.

"The Luna is fine; everything is fine, Tae." Hobi spoke, his voice comfortingly loud, eyes clear and honest.

That was all it took for Taehyung to fall apart in Hoseok's arms in sheer relief, the Alpha wrapped his arms around the Omega's shoulders and supported his light frame, as the maroon eyed boy cried his heart out, he had gone through a lot in a single night.

Hobi sat on the edge of Taehyung's bed and pulled the still hiccupping Omega along to sit beside him, as he calmly explained the current situation.

The Council members had already started the investigation at noon and they were told that Taehyung and the Luna had been attacked in the pack itself, Alpha Hyungsik had explained that the reason for the abrupt retreat of the rogue wolves was that they had planned to attack the pack as a mere warning, so as to instil fear in the werewolf kind, which they accomplished and then left, when they felt they were being overpowered.

It was only the half-truth, but extremely believable.

Only the pack Alpha and a few of his trusted members knew what actually happened at the night of the attack, that the reason why the rogue wolves had returned was because they were threatened by a single Omega.

As the evening fell by, the last rites of the departed wolves were carried out, with honour and respect, by the elders of the pack and Alpha Jeon left right after the ceremony, promising to visit after he was finished dealing with his own set of investigations too.

By the time Hoseok finished explaining everything to Taehyung, the Council was done with most of their investigation and were now having a discussion in the meeting room of the main pack house.

Taehyung headed straight for the infirmary to meet his mother with Jiwoo and Hobi accompanying him.

The Luna had gained consciousness just a few minutes ago and was dying to see her son.

When the Omega entered the white themed infirmary, he teared up again by just looking at his mother wrapped up in her cast.

He immediately ran into his mother's arms which were craving to hold him and embraced her carefully, while wrapping his arms around her neck gently but lovingly, as they both let out tears of happiness.

"You saved me my baby; I am so proud of you." Aera spoke softly, cupping her son's teary face, while she connected their foreheads and nudged his nose with hers, playfully, making him smile between his tears.

Taehyung basked in his mother's warmth, as he silently turned his head and kissed her palm, inhaling her ever calming scent of roses.

"I love you, Maa." Taehyung whispered meeting Aera's loving gaze, "I love you too, my Tae." The Luna replied fondly, breaking into a smile as well.

Hoseok and Jiwoo felt overwhelmed too, looking at the reunion, as they stood across the bed hand in hand, with fond smiles on both their faces.

"You two come here too." Taehyung invited his friends in a group hug, which they gladly accepted.

"Shall I inform the Alpha, that Luna has woken up?" A nurse asked politely, since Seojoon was in a meeting with the officials.

"I'll go myself, Noona, he'd be surprised to see me." Taehyung replied with a sweet smile.

The nurse was a little hesitant, because she knew the officials were a little too narrow minded, but she couldn't refuse when she saw the Omega so happy and excited.

Taehyung delightfully huddled towards the meeting room of the main pack house and knocked on the hardwood door impatiently, the Omega was missing his father a lot and he knew his dad would be yearning to see him too.

What he didn't predict was to be greeted with the displeased and offended faces of the officials who were everything but happy, to be interrupted by a lowly Omega.

"Taehyung!" The Omega snapped his attention to the overjoyed face of his father, who rushed towards him from the centre of the table and lifted him in his arms, as he swirled him around in utter joy, without a care.

The pack Alpha forgot all about the meeting and the officials, the moment he saw his beautiful son's healthy and gleaming, happy face.

The Omega burst into a fit of giggles, as his father spun him and placed him on his feet, engulfing him in a tight hug.

Taehyung then spotted Alpha Hyungsik, a few steps behind his father and ran to embrace him too.

"Thank you so much, Alpha Hyungsikie." Taehyung whispered to the Alpha, who had bent on his knees to hug him.

"I should be thanking you, Tae." Hyungsik replied, while ruffling the smiling Omega's fluffy brown hair.

The Council members were sitting with bored expressions, glaring at the loudly giggling Omega occasionally.

"I have had enough, don't you know Seojoon, Omegas are not supposed to enter in official meetings, much less interrupt them, have you not taught your male Omega some manners?" A conceited Alpha named Dojin slammed his hands on the table, as he stood up, offended by the disregard of respect.

"Seat yourself back down, Dojin and watch what you speak in front of me." Seojoon growled in anger, taking a few steps towards the prejudiced Alpha, but he was held back by Hyungsik.

"This is absolutely intolerable, I cannot stand here anymore in the presence of this Omega, ask him to leave." Dojin demanded stubbornly, passing the Omega dirty glares.

"I am sorry Alpha Dojin, but this is my father's pack, if you can't stand my presence then it should be you who should leave, not me." Taehyung spoke up, his head held high, as he made direct eye contact with Alpha Dojin.

The shocked silence of everyone in the room spoke volumes, the officials looked at each other with wide eyes, while Alpha Hyungsik tried to control his laughter and Alpha Kim stood with a proud smile.

"You heard my son, Dojin, the door is that way." Seojoon said with a smirk.
