Ebonmoon

Chapter 4

Jungkook couldn’t believe how engrossed he had become in the Ebonmoon book. Each page seemed to pull him deeper into the story.

He had lost track of time, the world around him fading away as he immersed himself in the ancient tale of the alpha and the witch.

The alpha and the witch stood by the edge of the sacred grove, the sun setting behind the distant hills. The sky was painted with hues of orange and pink, casting a warm glow over the ancient land.

The witch held the crimson rose delicately in her hand, its petals glowing in the fading light.

"It is a wonder of the gods," she whispered, her eyes fixed on the flower.

"Indeed," the alpha agreed, his gaze not on the rose but on the witch herself. "But not as wondrous as you."

The witch blushed, a soft smile playing on her lips. "You always find the right words, don't you?"

The alpha chuckled, a deep, rich sound that resonated with the wisdom of his lineage. "Only when it comes to you, my lady."

They stood in reverent silence for a moment, the sounds of the ancient forest around them. The alpha took a deep breath, his eyes serious as he turned to face the witch.

"There is something I must tell you," he began, his voice low and steady.

The witch looked up, her eyes meeting his. "What is it, my lord?"

He took her hand, holding it gently. "I have been having visions. Dreams of a future that eludes my grasp. But you are always there, by my side."

The witch's eyes widened slightly. "What do you mean?"

"I cannot fully explain it," he admitted, his brow furrowing in thought. "But I feel there is a destiny we must fulfill. Something pivotal. And I think it is connected to this rose."

The witch looked down at the rose, its petals glowing softly in the twilight. "A love rose," she murmured. "What could it portend?"

"I do not know," the alpha said again. "But I have a feeling the gods will reveal it in time."

Jungkook closed the book for a moment, his mind racing with questions. What could the alpha's visions mean? And how did the love rose fit into all of this? He had so many questions, but he knew the answers lay within the pages of *Ebonmoon*. Taking a deep breath, he opened the book once more and continued reading.

The alpha and the witch decided to consult the ancient scrolls stored in the temple archives.

The alpha had always been reluctant to delve into the old prophecies, but now, with the strange occurrences surrounding the love rose, he felt they had no choice.

The temple archives were a vast chamber filled with towering shelves of ancient tomes and scrolls.

The witch ran her fingers over the spines of the texts, searching for the one that might hold the answers they sought.

"Here it is," she said finally, pulling a thick, dusty volume from the shelf. "The Prophecies of Ebonmoon."

The alpha nodded, taking the book from her. "Let us see what it reveals."
