TAEKOOK. Kim Taehyung is a male omega whose beauty is unmatched, but that does not stop his fated mate from rejecting him when they come of age to recognize each other. The reason is that Taehyung carries the mark of a barren tree, which signifies i...
The early morning light cast a soft, diffuse glow through the lace curtains of their lake house cottage bedroom. Taehyung stirred, letting out a soft groan as he stretched, feeling a familiar ache in his lower back. He blinked his eyes open, surrounded by warmth and comfort. Since the pregnancy, a constant weariness had settled over him like a heavy cloak.
Luna's voice chimed in his mind a low hum. "It's because I've lost my celestial powers, Tae," she explained with a touch of wistful regret. "You're experiencing this pregnancy like any ordinary werewolf. Expect the full spectrum: mood swings, back and leg pains... and horniness." The last word, whispered by Luna with a mischievous lilt, sent a rush of heat to Taehyung's cheeks, a delightful flush that battled against his morning drowsiness.
He shifted, intending to turn and admire his mate's peaceful sleeping face before Jungkook woke, but his breath hitched. Jungkook wasn't asleep. He was already awake, his gaze fixed intently on Taehyung, but those weren't his usual obsidian eyes, deep and soulful like a midnight lake. No, they were glowing, brilliant, molten gold, shimmering with an inner light that seemed to pulse, ever so subtly, in the quiet room. Taehyung's heart gave a delighted flutter of recognition. Endymion had taken over.
A deep, resonant rumble vibrated from Endymion's chest, a sound that made Taehyung's heart flutter in response. "My beautiful star," Endymion murmured, his voice deeper, more ancient than Jungkook's, yet imbued with the same profound tenderness. "Who in this vast universe just wakes up looking like Aphrodite herself?" His thumb traced the curve of Taehyung's cheekbone, a feather-light touch that sent shivers down Taehyung's spine. "Today, little one, is our day. Jungkook and Luna will simply be our audience. They can watch us bask."
Taehyung felt a thrill of excitement. He genuinely liked the idea; it was a chance to truly get to know Endymion, to understand the powerful, protective core of his mate beyond Jungkook's gentle exterior. Endymion, it seemed, was equally motivated. "I want to erase any lingering doubts, if any could possibly exist, that I love and adore you as fiercely as I cherished Luna," he stated, his golden eyes intense and sincere.
"Freshen up, my muse," Endymion commanded, a soft edge to his voice that bespoke devotion rather than authority. "Today, I'm taking you on a date. To the meadow at the entrance of Obsidian Forest. Just us."
Taehyung nodded, his heart swelling with affection. Before he could even push himself up, Endymion's arm softly wrapped around his waist, drawing him closer. Their lips met, a slow, deep kiss that was pure Endymion - unhurried, possessive, yet undeniably tender. Taehyung flowed into it, his body arching instinctively against his mate's, the kiss deepening, growing more passionate with each passing second, a promise of the day to come.

When Endymion finally, reluctantly, broke the kiss, his eyes were still burning, a silent testament to his desire. He released Taehyung, who, a little breathless and glowing, slipped out of bed and made his way to the bathroom, the warm water of the shower a welcome embrace. Endymion, meanwhile, moved with a purposeful grace. Today, he was going to spoil Taehyung beyond measure, ensuring no shadow of doubt could ever touch his mate's heart regarding the depth of his feelings.
