Where Star Alligns

V's eyes narrowed, his voice laced with mock anger. "You're late again, JK."

JK sensed V's irritation and responded with a soothing gesture, licking V's fur. "I'm sorry. I promise I won't be late next time."

V huffed, his tail twitching. "That's what you've been saying for the past two months."

JK chuckled, his eyes sparkling. "Yet, you always wait for me."

V ignored JK's teasing and asked, "You never told me your full name, JK."

JK's demeanor shifted, his expression turning serious. "I don't have a name," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. "I'm a rogue, unable to transform into human form."

V detected the distress pheromones emanating from JK and responded with comfort. He licked JK's face, offering reassurance. "It's okay. I'll give you a name."

JK's gaze met V's, his eyes shining with gratitude. "And what will you call me?"

V's smile was gentle. "Amore."

JK's brow furrowed, amusement dancing in his eyes. "What does that mean?"

V's voice was soft. "Love."

JK's expression softened, his heart warmed by V's gesture.

JK's voice was low and husky. "Then you'll be my Lovisa."

V's eyes locked onto JK's, filled with affection. JK's gaze held a tender intensity as he continued, "Lovisa means love."

V's heart skipped a beat at the name JK had given him. The significance of the gesture wasn't lost on him.

In that moment, words were unnecessary. Their eyes and hearts understood the unspoken language of love.

V licked JK's face, sealing their silent understanding. "I'll return tomorrow, Amore," he whispered.

JK's intense gaze burned with promise. "I'll wait for you, Lovisa."

With a final glance, V turned and ran, disappearing into the forest. JK watched him go.

His eyes, filled with love, followed the white wolf's fading figure until it vanished from sight.

In the serene garden, the three brothers strolled together, enjoying the tranquil atmosphere. Suddenly, Luna appeared, her radiant presence commanding attention. The brothers immediately rose to their feet, bowing their heads in reverence.

Luna's warm smile illuminated her face as she greeted her sons. "How are you, my children?"

The brothers' faces lit up with happiness as they replied in unison, "We're doing well, Mother."

Luna's eyes sparkled with delight. "I can see that. Your auras shine brighter than ever."

However, her expression swiftly turned solemn. "My sons, there's something I must discuss with you. Mortals and immortals cannot engage in romantic love. The laws of the universe forbid it."

The brothers' posture stiffened, their faces tense.

Luna's voice took on a serious tone. "As immortal gods, you cannot fall in love with mortals. The consequences would be catastrophic."

Sol, the eldest, spoke up, his voice devoid of emotion. "We understand, Mother, but our wolf has already chosen. We love him, and we won't abandon him."

V and Ji-An nodded in agreement, their eyes resolute.

Luna's gaze lingered on her sons, her expression a mix of concern and understanding. She knew their bond was unbreakable. Without another word, she vanished, leaving the brothers to ponder her warning.

At midnight, Sol stood beneath the starry sky, lost in thought. Suddenly, a searing pain pierced his heart, as if an invisible blade had struck him. But he knew the agony wasn't his own – it was his wolf's.

V and Ji-An appeared beside him, clutching their chests in unison. "Hyung, my heart hurts!" they exclaimed, their voices laced with concern.

Sol's expression turned grave. "It's our wolf. He's in pain." But as they assessed their own well-being, confusion set in. "We're fine, then what's happening?"

A simultaneous realization dawned on the brothers. Their whispers synchronized: "Alpha."

In instant unison, they shifted into their wolf forms. Their bodies merged one, and with a shared purpose, they sprinted toward the location where their alpha, JK, was likely to be.

As they approached the area, the air grew thick with the scent of blood – JK's blood, mingled with the scent of other wolves. The brothers' hearts raced with foreboding.

The forest, once a sanctuary, now seemed ominous. Sol, V, and Ji-An exchanged worried glances, their eyes burning with a fierce determination to protect their alpha.
