The weeks that followed were filled with a tense silence throughout the clan. Jennie's position had been stripped, and while the full truth of her deceit hadn't yet been made public, whispers had begun to spread. Taehyung had informed the council privately, ensuring that his closest allies knew the truth.

But amidst the chaos, one thing remained clear: Taehyung and Jungkook were fated mates, and their union was inevitable.

The Eunoia clan had long-held traditions when it came to the bonding of fated mates, and Taehyung was determined to honor those customs. Their bond wasn't just about the two of them—it was about the clan, about unity, and about the future they would build together.

The traditional ceremony was set to take place under the full moon, as was custom. The entire clan would gather to witness the bonding, and it would solidify Jungkook's position as the Luna of the Eunoia clan.

As the day of the ceremony approached, Taehyung found himself growing more and more nervous. He had led his clan through countless battles, had faced down enemies both internal and external, but this—this was different. This was personal.

Jungkook, on the other hand, seemed calm and composed, though Taehyung could sense the excitement radiating off him.

"You're nervous," Jungkook said one night as they sat together in the quiet of Taehyung's chambers.

Taehyung smiled softly, reaching out to take Jungkook's hand. "A little. But not because I don't want this. It's just...a lot."

Jungkook squeezed his hand gently. "We'll get through it. Together."

And that was all Taehyung needed to hear.

The night of the ceremony arrived, and the Eunoia clan gathered under the full moon. The air was thick with anticipation as the ceremony began. Taehyung, dressed in the traditional ceremonial robes of his ancestors, stood at the center of the gathering, waiting for his mate.

When Jungkook appeared, the entire clan seemed to hold its breath. He was breathtaking, dressed in robes of deep sapphire, his beauty enhanced by the ethereal glow of the moonlight. But more than his beauty, there was a strength in his gaze that commanded respect.

As Jungkook approached Taehyung, their eyes met, and in that moment, everything else faded away. It was just the two of them, standing together, bound by fate and by choice.

The elder of the clan stepped forward, beginning the ancient rites that had been passed down for generations. The words were spoken in the old language, a language that connected them to their ancestors, to the past, and to the future they would build together.

As the final words were spoken, Taehyung and Jungkook clasped hands, their bond solidified in front of the entire clan. There was a palpable shift in the air as the magic of the bond settled around them, and Taehyung could feel the power of it coursing through his veins.

Jungkook was his, and he was Jungkook's.
