The air in the Eunoia clan felt heavy, as though the forest itself was holding its breath. Tension gripped the territory as the warriors stood guard, their senses heightened, waiting for the inevitable. Taehyung and Jungkook had fortified their defenses, but there was a lingering sense of dread that something bigger was coming.

Jungkook had been restless, patrolling alongside the warriors, his instincts sharpening with every passing minute. His connection to the land and to the people around him had grown stronger since becoming Luna, and it gave him an edge—an awareness that something was about to happen.

Suddenly, a loud howl echoed through the night. It was followed by a second, then a third—rogues were approaching.

"They're here," Jungkook whispered, his eyes narrowing as he ran to Taehyung's side.

Taehyung had already shifted into his alpha form, a towering, powerful wolf with glowing amber eyes. He growled low in his throat as he prepared for battle. Jungkook shifted beside him, his smaller but equally fierce wolf form standing proud next to his mate. They were a sight to behold, the Alpha and Luna of the Eunoia clan, united and ready to defend their people.

The rogues attacked without warning, bursting through the trees like a tidal wave of darkness. They were larger than normal, their eyes glowing with a dangerous hunger. These weren't just ordinary rogues—they were enhanced, possibly by the same ancient bloodline that flowed through Hyun.

The clash of wolves and magic filled the air as the Eunoia warriors fought fiercely to defend their territory. Jungkook moved with agility and precision, protecting the weaker members of the clan while Taehyung led the charge against the rogue leaders. Their bond was evident in the way they moved together, a perfect harmony of strength and strategy.

But as the battle raged on, Jungkook sensed something—or someone—watching from the shadows. A figure, cloaked in darkness, stood at the edge of the battlefield, their eyes fixed on Hyun, who had been safely hidden away in the heart of the clan's territory.

"Taehyung!" Jungkook shouted, his voice cutting through the chaos. "They're after Hyun!"

Taehyung's eyes followed Jungkook's gaze, locking onto the shadowy figure. Without hesitation, he surged forward, cutting through the rogues to reach the figure before they could get any closer to his son. Jungkook followed closely behind, his heart pounding with fear and determination.

As they closed in on the mysterious figure, the person disappeared into the darkness, leaving behind only the faintest trace of ancient magic. The battle continued, but Jungkook and Taehyung knew that this was only the beginning.
