Taehyung, Minkyu and Yoo-Jung arrived at Moon Stone. It hasn't been that long since they left the pack and could still remember their way around it.
They drove around to see if nothing much has changed and then parked in front of their old house. They're thankful that their parents never sold the house and decided to keep it for emergency purposes. Namjoon and Jin thought that it would be good to have a safe place to run to in case the need arises...just like now.
Taehyung was the first one to reach the gate and before he could even enter, he heard someone call his name from behind. He turned around and saw Kim Il-hwa, his grandma.
The two gazed at each other and Taehyung couldn't help but run towards her, now knowing the truth about their relationship.
"Halmeoni!" Taehyung yelled and ran to his grabdmother's arms.
"Oh my dear grandchild. It feels so good to hear you finally calling me halmeoni." Il-hwa said with tears in her eyes.
"And I'm equally happy to be your grandson, halmeoni." Taehyung said.
Meanwhile, Yoo-Jung and Minkyu approached the two and bowed their head.
"It's nice to see you again, ahjumma." Yoo-Jung said.
"Oh Yoo-Jung, please call me halmeoni too. I look at you as my grand daughter so I hope that you'd feel the same way." Il-hwa said. And, with that, Yoo-Jung joined them in the hug.
Il-hwa noticed that Minkyu was just staring at them.
"Come on now, Minkyu. Don't you miss your halmeoni?" Il-hwa said, opening her arms wider.
Minkyu smiled and joined the three.
"Oh thank heavens my grand children are back." Il-hwa said. "Now, go leave your bags inside first and then come with me to my house. I prepared a welcome home feast for you. Your noonas are waiting as well." She added.
"You knew we were coming?" Taehyung asked.
"Oh your aunt So-Hyun had a hunch. And I know for a fact that my daughter's gut feel is always right." Il-Hwa said.
The three quickly brought their bags inside the house and then they all went with their halmeoni.
When they arrived at the house, they were all greeted by their witch noonas, Hyerim, Yoobin and Sunmi.
"Taetae, Jung, Minkyu!!!" Hyerin squealed as she hugged the three. "Gosh I missed you three. The pack was so peaceful and uneventful without you." Hyerim said.
"You make it sound like we always brought trouble in the pack." Yoo-Jung said.
"Says the one who broke an alpha's arm in school." Hyerim said matter of factly.
"Well he shouldn't have tripped Taehyung oppa in the first place. Now I dare him to try it again and see what my brother can do to him this time around." Yoo-Jung said.
"Which reminds me..." Hyerin said as he walked towards Taehyung and removed the latter's necklace. "You don't need this here. We've already casted spells around the pack when So-Hyun told us you're coming . No hybrid, witch or shapeshifter not belonging to this pack can enter without Alpha Min-ho's consent." Hyerim said.
"Alpha? When did he become Alpha and what happened to alpha Woo-bin?" Taehyung asked.
"He migrated to Daegu with his family as luna Min-a's father is sick and their pack needs a new alpha. So, alpha Woo-bin was chosen by his father-in-law as successor." Yoobin said, jumping in the conversation.
"Oh. I'll miss him. He was such a kind alpha, but I'm happy for Min-ho hyung. Well-deserved." Taehyung said.
"Wow, look at you. You are so gorgeous Taehyung. I bet all the alphas here, especially Jae-hyung will fall for you more." Sun Mi teased.
"Stop it, noona. I'm a marked omega now and very much loyal to my love." Taehyung said. His smile suddenly faltered as he thought of Jungkook.
"Hey cheer up. We will make sure you learn everything you need to learn as fast as possible so you can return to your mate in no time. I want to meet him though. I heard he's a trueblood?" Sunmi asked.
"Yes. A very kind, brave, gentle and strong one. You'll love him." Taehyung said.
"You look so in love and captivated. I'm more curious now." Sunmi said.
"I'll video call him later so you can meet him." Taehyung said.
"Let's continue this inside. The food's getting cold." Il-hwa said, so they all went in.
They all started eating and they asked Taehyung to fill them in with everything that happened so far. The three siblings told them everything from the fire that broke in their house to Taehyung's encounter with Rang. They were talking for almost two hours when they heard a knock on the door.
Sunmi volunteered to see who it was and when she came back, she was with Min-ho, other hybrid friends and Jaehyung.
"Hyung!" Taehyung yelled and ran towards Min-Ho and hugged him. Min-ho hugged back and then pushed Taehyung away gently, holding the omega's arms.
"Look at you. You look so different." Min-Ho said.
"Oh come on hyung, I just lost the birthmark and now with purple eyes and hair, other than that, everything's the same." Taehyung said.
"Nah, wasn't talking about your looks. It's your aura. You look more confident and carefree." Min-Ho said.
"Blooming." Jaehyung mumbled but not soft enough to not be heard by Taehyung.
"Hey, Jae. Nice to see you again." Taehyung said.
"Same here. I thought I'd never get to see you again. But, I didn't expect you'd come back, marked." Jae said.
"Oh, yeah. I met my mate at Snow Flower pack." Taehyung said.
"I-I see. I'm happy for you." Jae-Hyung said forcing a smile.
"Thank you, Jae." Taehyung said.
One of the hybrids, Hyun-Joong, cleared his throat to interrupt the awkward conversation.
"Come here, maknaes, give your hyung and oppa a hug!" Hyun-Joong said gesturing towards Taehyung, Minkyu and Yoo-Jung.
The three laughed and hugged their hyung. They really missed each other as they were like family when the Kims lived in the pack.
"Come here everyone. There's more food. Welcome to our house, alpha." Il-hwa said.
"You don't have to call me alpha, auntie. you can still call me, Min-Ho." The humble alpha said.
"No can do. You should get used to it." Il-Hwa said.
The group joined everyone and in just a few minutes, they were all laughing and telling stories.
They were all having a fun moment until Taehyung suddenly felt his mate mark...as if someone just caressed it. He smiled sadly as he touched it. So, he took out his phone to check if he had a message from Jungkook, but frowned when he didn't see any. Yoo-Jung noticed.
"You miss him?" Yoo Jung asked.
"A lot. I don't know if I made the right decision leaving him, but I know that I had to come here. I know he's hurt by what I did and I feel so bad causing him pain again. Am I a bad mate?" Taehyung asked.
"No, oppa. You're doing this for him. He'll understand soon enough." Yoo-Jung said.
"He hasn't messaged me since we left. I should've brought some of his clothes with me. I miss his scent. I miss him." Taehyung said on the verge of tears.
"Hey, why are you being so clingy and emotional all of a sudden?" Yoo-Jung asked.
"I just miss him a lot, YJ." Taehyung whined.
"What's going on back here?" Il-hwa asked as she heard Taehyung whining.
"He's missing his alpha, halmeoni." Yoo Jung announced to everyone, earning a smack on the back of her head from Taehyung.
"Ow! But, that's what you said." Yoo-Jung said as she rubbed her head.
"You didn't have to announce it you know." Taehyung said.
"It's okay, Taehyung. No need to be embarassed about it. We understand. That's normal, especially since you're bonded. I know how it feels to be away from your mate." Il-hwa said, remembering her deceased husband.
"Sorry, didn't mean to be the party pooper." Taehyung saod.
"We're all good. So, Yoo-Jung, how about you? Any love interests?" Hyerim teased.
"Ewww. Are you kidding me? I don't do love." Yoo Jung said.
"What?! You mean it didn't wear off even if you're not wearing your necklace?" Hyerim asked.
"What do you mean noona?" Yoo Jung asked.
"Your necklace. I added a spell on it...for you not to feel love because back then I thought it would be a good idea since you're a girl and I didn't want you to get hurt the same way I did back then with my ex boyfriend." Hyerin told Yoo Jung before facing Il-hwa who was already glaring at her.
"I'm sorry I should've told you, auntie. It was a bad idea to be the one to make Yoo-Jung's charm. When you said put a protection spell on it, that was what I thought of." Hyerim said defensively.
"Aish! Hyerim. I can't believe you did that. I bet Yoo-Jung broke a lot of hearts because of that." Il-hwa said.
"Oh, yes she did. She even used me and Taehyung hyung as scapegoats." Minkyu said chuckling.
"Shut up. It's fine. I don't mind. I don't feel like I missed out on anything, really. I enjoyed being single and beating the crap out of alphas and betas who bullied Taeh oppa." Yoo-Jung said.
"Well now that you don't have your necklace anymore, you just might meet the one." Ye-eun, one of the hybrids said.
"She already did. She's just in denial." Tarhyung teased as revenge for embarassing him earlier.
"Who are you even talking about? Bogum? Pft. No way." Yoo-Jung said.
"I didn't even say his name, YJ. You're so defensive." Taehyung teased more.
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
"Oh my, here we go again." Minkyu said being used to his siblings' banter.
The two continued the banter until they were interrupted by a knock on the door again.
They all looked at each other.
"Are we expecting someone else?" Taehyung asked.
"Are you?" Hyerim asked him back.
"No." Taehyung answered.
Hyun-Joong opened the door and in came two alpha soldiers.
"Good evening, hyung. Is Alpha Min-ho here?" One of the soldiers asked.
"Yes, Hwi, come in." Hyun-Joong said.
Min-Ho stood up as he heard his name.
"Hwi, Hyunsoo, what brings you two here?" Min-Ho asked.
"Alpha, we have three visitors from the Snow Flower pack." Hwi said.
"Ah, yes, they're already here with us." Min-Ho said.
"Oh, no, Alpha. I meant aside from Taehyung, Yoo-Jung and Minkyu." Hwi said.
"What?! Who?!" Taehyung's heart raced.
"Bring them here." Min-Ho said.
"One of them is here with us." Hwi said as he stepped out and called in the visitor.
Dressed in all black, the man entered the house.
Taehyung was shocked to see Jungkook, but at the same time was overjoyed. He couldn't stop himself from running towards him, jumping on his arms and placing his arms and legs around him. It caught Jungkook by surprise but he was quick to catch him.
"Did my baby miss me?" Jungkook whispered, didn't care about the eyes that were staring at them at the moment.
Taehyung didn't reply, but after a few seconds, Jungkook heard sniffles coming from his mate.
"Hey, love are you crying?" Jungkook asked.
"I thought you'd be mad at me forever." Taehyung said.
"Love, I'm not mad at you, okay? I'm mad at myself for treating you the way I did. I'm sorry. I should've understood why you did it. Sorry for pushing you away. I can't bear not being with you, Taeh. I'm incomplete without you." Jungkook said.
"I'm sorry for leaving just like that. I was too disappointed at myself and ashamed to face you. I wanted to talk to you, but Jimin and Yoongi hyung said to give you space so I did." Taehyung said.
"It's alright love, I'm here now." Jungkook said.
Il-hwa smiled looking at the two. She then stood up and walked towards them.
"I guess it's safe to assume that you're Jungkook?" Il-Hwa said.
Taehyung realized their position so he softly tapped Jungkook's shoulder and the latter slowly placed him down.
Jungkook bowed his head at Il-Hwa and removed his mask. "Good evening, ahjumma. Yes, my name is Jeon Jungkook. I'm Taehyung's mate."
"Oh dear, you're such a handsome man. Come give me a hug and call me halmeoni." Jungkook went forward and hugged Il-Hwa.
She then faced everyone while she held Jungkook's hand.
"Everyone, meet Jungkook. Taehyung's mate." Il-Hwa announced.
Everyone greeted him a warm hello, except for Jaehyung who was quite jealous of the two. He really loved Taehyung a lot, but when he confessed to the onega before, the younger told him that he only looked at him as a brother. It hurt him a lot, but he knows he can't force Taehyung to love him like he does. Besides, he knew that the latter would eventually meet his mate he just didn't expect that it would be this soon when he hasn't had the chance to move on yet.
Min-Ho then ordered to fetch the two other visitors, meaning Bogum and Hobi.
While everyone's preoccupied introducing themselves to Jungkook, Bogum and Hoseok appeared. As soon as the two stepped in the room, Bogum caught sight of Yoo-Jung and vice versa. The two alphas smiled at each other making Bogum's heart beat race.
Meanwhile, Hoseok caught a scent that made his wolf go crazy. He looked around the room and that's when he saw Jaehyung looking back at him with a confused expression on his face. Apparently he sensed Hoseok's presence and scent too.
"Mate." The two said at the same time.
Jungkook heard his friend and looked at him.
"Did you just say mate?" Jungkook said and Hobi just nodded and slowly approached Jaehyung.
"Hi, I'm Hoseok." He said, smiling at Jaehyung. The latter smiled back and extended his hand.
"Jaehyung. Nice to finally meet you. You have no idea how perfect your timing is." Jaehyung said.
"Well, I can't agree with you more." Hoseok said.
"What is this? A speed dating event?" Hyerim said, giggling as she noticed the interaction between Bogum and Yoo-Jung; Hoseok and Jaehyung.
"And just like that, our pack is once again as eventful as when the Kim siblings first came here." Yoobin said.
"This is going to be fun." Sunmi said.
Meanwhile, back to Jungkook and Taehyung.
"So, Taehyung, are you ready to get in touch with your hybrid self?" Il-Hwa asked.
"Ready as I'll ever be." Taehyung said.
Il-Hwa then touched her grand son's hand and all of a sudden her eyes turned white.
"Halmeoni?! Halmeoni are you okay?!" Taehyung touched his grand mother's face.
"It's okay, Taehyung she's having a vision just let her be. Let's wait for a few minutes. Don't worry that's her gift." Hyerim explained.
The three witch sisters, Jungkook and Taehyung were just looking at Il-Hwa. After around almost five minutes, her eyes went back to normal but she had tears in them this time.
"Oh my dear grandson!" Il-Hwa was happily crying and hugging Taehyung.
"Halmeoni, what did you see?" Taehyung asked.
"You two didn't know?" Il-Hwa looked at Jungkook and Taehyung.
"Didn't know what, halmeoni?" Taehyung asked looking so confused.
"You have pups, Taehyung. Two to be exact." Il-Hwa said.
Taehyung's jaw dropped and Jungkook's mouth formed a big smile as his nose scrunched.
"Did you hear that love?! Oh my god, we will be parents! I'm going to be a dad!" Jungkook said, couldn't hide his excitement.
"I-I'm pregnant?!" Taehyung said before covering her mouth. Happy tears brimmed his eyes as he turned to Jungkook and connected their lips together.
The two were smiling and kissing at the same time and everyone started to approach the two couples, clapping and cheering.
They pulled away from each other and looked into each other's eyes.
"You are the best thing that's ever happened to me, Kim Taehyung." Jungkook said.
"I love you, my alpha daddy." Taehyung whispered at Jungkook.
"Damn, that didn't sound wholesome at all." Jungkook said.
"Who said I was being wholesome?" Taehyung said as he kissed Jungkook again, pouring all the love he has for his trueblood mate.
