Bounded

Chapter 40

Read slowly and have a happy reading❤.

The day passed by and both Alpha and Luna were indulging themselves in their separate works. Both of them were unknown to the approaching evening of that day. The Royal Alpha spent his entire day in the fields of Eclipse, analysing the samples of the soils for the seasoning crops while Luna joined the courtroom along with the Commander.

The Evening fell in the hue of pale pink and orange covering the entire expanse of the sky. Inside the Lake of Eclipse, Taehyung found himself staring at the fountain where crystal clear water was flowing down onto the marbled floors of the pool.

There was no one around him. The lake was closed for eclipsers except for special occasions. Calm and blank features of the Royal Alpha were watching the flowing water with one breath.

His ears twitched when he heard the fluttering sound of feathers coming from above, he looked up and saw his two doves circling the lake waiting for Taehyung to notice them and permitting them to come closer.

The Royal Alpha moved from his spot and went to the other end of the lake where a big black wooden swing was placed. He sat on the swing making it swing back and forward, he gestured for the doves to come down.

The doves landed on his lap, flocking their feathers for the last time before sitting comfortably. One of them uses its beak to poke at Taehyung's gloved hand and with a sigh, the Royal Alpha takes off the glove.

The site was hideous, the skin was close to rotten and with the way doves fly off to his shoulder, it was stinking as well. Taehyung looked at the dove that was sitting on his right shoulder, he noticed how that dove had a small bundle of shining cloth wrapped around his fragile leg while the other dove was carrying the same cloth around his neck.

"So she prepared the spell for me." The aligned coos of agreement, made Taehyung shake his head.

The Royal Alpha unwrapped the shining cloth and unfolded it. There was a small bottle of white potion that was completely dried from any moisture. Taehyung opened the bottle and sprinkled the white power over his burnt hand.

He hissed a little when his raw skin felt the power of the potion, it burnt more before a golden energy covered his whole hand and soon the wound disappeared into nothingness.

With sighing a breath, Taehyung realised," And here I thought she had died decades ago." He closed the bottle and kept it inside his suit's front pockets.

He looked at his hand and found it completely clear, with no burnt marks, no scratchy skin and especially no bite marks.

The doves flew down from his shoulders and sat on his lap, the swing was swinging back and forth, and the attached chains to its hinges were making minimal sound during the motion but they were hearing something else as well. Sound of footsteps.

The Royal Alpha lifted his face and tilted his head to look through the small fences of the trees. It was.... The Royal Empress.

Jungkook lifted his veil from his face as soon as he stepped inside the area of the lake. He looked up and closed his eyes, with the way his chest was contracting and expanding, it seemed the omega was taking deep breaths.

Jungkook opened his eyes and sat across the shore of the lake on his knees. Six months before, He had found this place and he doesn't know why this place has such soothing air that made him addicted to it. He often comes here to take a little rest before going to fulfil his next duty.

He shifted a little closer to the shore and bearing a palmful of water in his hands, he splashed the cold water across his face. The cold drops made his warm skin relax instantly. A smile occurred on Jungkook's lips as the drops cascaded down from his face. The tiredness of all day long felt waning away from his body.
