The Wolf's Heart

44

The next morning, the sun filtered through the curtains in soft golden beams, casting a warm glow across the room. Taehyung woke up first, but instead of slipping out of bed as he usually did, he remained there, enjoying the peaceful silence. He watched as Jungkook, still sleeping soundly, shifted slightly, his lips parting with a soft sigh.

Taehyung couldn't help but smile, his heart full. This was it. This was the life he had always wanted—one filled with peace, love, and the quiet moments between them.

He reached out and gently brushed a lock of hair from Jungkook’s face. The omega’s eyes fluttered open, and for a moment, they just stared at each other, their gazes filled with an unspoken understanding.

“Good morning,” Taehyung whispered, his voice low but warm.

Jungkook smiled, his eyes still heavy with sleep. “Good morning,” he replied, his voice soft and husky. Then, as if realizing something, he sat up slightly, rubbing his eyes. “Wait, are we not supposed to get up early for royal duties or something?”

Taehyung chuckled, shaking his head. “Not today. Today, I’ve decided that you and I are going to do absolutely nothing except be together.”

Jungkook raised an eyebrow, a teasing smile tugging at his lips. “You’re serious? Nothing?”

“Nothing,” Taehyung confirmed, leaning closer and brushing his lips against Jungkook’s forehead in a gentle kiss. “Just us.”

Jungkook grinned, unable to contain his happiness. “I’m not complaining.”

The rest of the morning passed lazily. They spent the hours lounging in bed, talking about everything and nothing. Jungkook played with Taehyung’s hair as they shared stories, their laughter echoing in the quiet room. Taehyung, once cold and distant, was now the most affectionate he had ever been, each touch, each glance filled with love and warmth.

They even spent time lying in the royal garden later in the afternoon, wrapped in blankets, looking up at the sky. Jungkook had his head resting on Taehyung’s chest, his fingers tracing patterns on the alpha’s shirt, while Taehyung absentmindedly ran his fingers through Jungkook’s hair, feeling content in a way he never thought possible.

“I love this,” Jungkook said, his voice muffled slightly by Taehyung’s shirt. “I love being with you like this. Just... calm.”

Taehyung’s heart swelled, and he leaned down to press a soft kiss to Jungkook’s temple. “Me too. I’ve always wanted this, but I didn’t know how to ask for it.”

Jungkook looked up at him, his eyes soft with affection. “Well, I’m glad you did.”

The day drifted by in a gentle haze of affection and comfort, both of them content to simply enjoy each other’s presence.

As evening fell, they returned to their room, where the staff had prepared a cozy dinner. They ate slowly, savoring each bite, their hands often brushing against each other, their eyes meeting in quiet exchanges of love. Afterward, they moved to the balcony, wrapped in a blanket together, watching the stars.

Taehyung kissed the top of Jungkook’s head as they sat in comfortable silence. “You make everything feel better, you know that?”

Jungkook turned to him, a playful glint in his eyes. “I’m glad I do. You make everything feel... right.”

Taehyung’s heart skipped a beat. He looked into Jungkook’s eyes, seeing the trust and warmth that had blossomed between them over time. Without thinking, his hand cupped Jungkook’s cheek, pulling him closer. Their lips met slowly, gently—at first a soft connection, a quiet affirmation of everything they had shared.

The kiss deepened as their hearts beat in sync, and Taehyung felt his chest tighten with emotion. He pulled back slightly, searching Jungkook’s eyes for any hint of hesitation. But there was none. Jungkook’s gaze was steady, filled with a quiet love that mirrored his own. With a soft sigh, Taehyung closed the distance again, kissing him with more certainty, more tenderness, as though trying to convey all the words his heart had kept hidden for so long.

Jungkook responded in kind, his hands resting gently on Taehyung’s shoulders, feeling the warmth of his touch and the deep connection they shared. It wasn’t a kiss of urgency, but one of understanding and love—slow, unhurried, and full of promise. When they finally pulled apart, their foreheads rested against each other, breaths mingling in the quiet night.

"Forever," Taehyung whispered, the word leaving his lips before he could stop himself. It was a promise, a vow that felt as natural as breathing.

Jungkook smiled softly, the words he had always wanted to hear lingering in the air between them. "Forever," he replied, his voice thick with emotion.

They sat there for a while longer, the world outside fading away, lost in the comfort of each other's presence, knowing that together, they could face anything.
