Where Star Alligns

After breaking apart, Jungkook's gaze lingered on Taehyung's face. He tenderly touched Taehyung's eyes, nose, lips, and cheeks, as if ensuring this moment was real. Taehyung's eyelids fluttered closed, savoring Jungkook's gentle touch.

"You're so beautiful," Jungkook whispered, his voice filled with wonder. "I can hardly believe this." A soft chuckle escaped his lips.

Taehyung's eyes opened, sparkling with delight. "You're handsome, too – incredibly handsome. I never tire of looking at you." Jungkook's face lit up with a warm smile.

His expression turned serious, concern etched on his face. "But what happened to me? And this engagement with Bora... I don't understand." Taehyung took a deep breath and recounted everything.

Jungkook's anger grew with each passing word. "I'll kill her," he seethed. "How dare she manipulate me!" Taehyung placed a calming hand on Jungkook's.

"We'll address this together," Taehyung assured. "We need to inform everyone and call off the engagement." Jungkook's gaze softened, filled with love.

"Of course, Lovisa," Jungkook whispered, his lips brushing against Taehyung's. Their lips met in a tender kiss, sealing their unity.

As they emerged from the forest, they returned to the spot where Namjoon had left them. Namjoon stood waiting, his eyes sparkling with warmth. Sensing their presence, he turned and smiled.

"I knew your love could overcome anything, Taehyung," Namjoon said, his voice filled with conviction.

Jungkook's confusion was evident as he turned to Taehyung. "Who is he?" he asked.

Taehyung's smile illuminated his face. "He's the Head Witch, the one who helped me bring you back to me." Jungkook's understanding dawned, and together they bowed to Namjoon in gratitude.

Namjoon's eyes shone with satisfaction. "Now, let's return." With that, he grasped their hands, and in an instant, they teleported back to the school terrace.

Namjoon's gaze lingered on the reunited couple. "My task here is complete." With a gentle smile, he vanished into thin air.

Jungkook suggested to Taehyung, "School's almost over. Let's head to your place and discuss this with your parents." Taehyung nodded in agreement.

On their way, Jungkook made two phone calls. First, he informed his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jeon, to meet at the Kim's residence, revealing only that he had something important to discuss. Next, he called the Kim's, announcing the Jeon's visit.

Upon receiving Jungkook's call, Mr. and Mrs. Jeon agreed without hesitation and set off for the Kim's house. Meanwhile, at the Kim's residence, Mina shared the news with her husband and Bora.

Bora's eyes sparkled, mistakenly assuming Jungkook was coming to see her. However, Mr. and Mrs. Kim exchanged worried glances.

Soon, the Jeon and Kim families gathered together. Bora fidgeted with excitement, unaware of the impending revelation.

As they reached the Kim's house, Taehyung's nervousness was palpable. Jungkook sensed it and released calming pheromones to soothe him. "Don't worry, I've got this," Jungkook reassured, his voice gentle. He kissed Taehyung's hand, his eyes locked onto his.

Hand in hand, they rang the doorbell. Mina answered, her expression transforming from warmth to surprise as she took in their intertwined hands.

"Welcome, Jungkook," Bora chimed, but her enthusiasm faltered upon seeing their joined hands.

Jungkook pulled Taehyung closer, his hand resting possessively on Taehyung's waist. Jiwon's face darkened.

"What's going on, Jungkook?" Jiwon demanded, his anger rising.

Jungkook stood firm, his voice unwavering. "Taehyung is my mate, Dad – my Lovisa." The room fell silent.

The Kim and Jeon families exchanged disapproving glances, shock and anger etched on their faces.

Hana's anger boiled over, her voice rising. "What do you mean he's your mate? Bora is your fiancée, and you're about to get married!" Jungkook's eyes flashed red as his wolf surged forward, his growl low and menacing. "I'm not marrying that manipulator. She used black magic to control me. Taehyung is my true mate, my Lovisa."

The room fell silent, shock and confusion etched on every face.

Mina turned to Bora, her expression firm. "Is what Jungkook's saying true?" Bora's hesitation was palpable before she erupted into angry denials. "It's not me, Mom! Taehyung used black magic on Jungkook. He's always jealous, trying to steal everything from me!"

Taehyung's disgust was evident. "Stop lying, Noona. You knew Jungkook was my mate and threatened me to keep quiet, saying you'd kill yourself".

Bora's wolf seized control, her eyes blazing red. With an alpha's commanding voice, she snarled, "Silence, beta! Know your place. Don't dare spread lies!" Taehyung whimpered, overwhelmed, and his own wolf responded, His eyes turned  blue.

The Jeons and Bora were stunned, witnessing Taehyung's eyes. Jiwon whispered, "You're not beta... You're..." Hana completed his sentence, "You're omega." Bora's eyes widened, repeating, "You're omega."

Jungkook's concern for Taehyung grew as he whimpered, still reeling from Bora's alpha command. Jungkook swiftly sat on the couch, cradling Taehyung in his lap. Taehyung clung tightly, seeking comfort.

Jungkook soothed him, "It's okay, I'm here. No one will harm you, my love." The room fell silent, witnessing their intimate moment.

Jiwon's questioning gaze met the Kim's. Mina explained, "We hid Taehyung's true nature to protect him from the dangers outside. We wanted to keep him safe."

Hana's face lit up with joy. "Omegas are blessings from the Moon Goddess. Our pack is honored." However, Bora's anger boiled over.

"How dare that omega steal my mate!" she shouted. Jungkook's icy gaze silenced her.

"Keep your mouth shut, Kim Bora, or I won't hesitate to rip your head off," Jungkook warned, his voice cold and menacing. Bora shuddered, fear coursing through her veins.
