15- The get together
A/n: Just a quick refresher:
Hwan - Fire Alpha
Duri - Water Alpha
Namjoon - Wind Alpha
Hoesoek - Earth Alpha
Jimin - Ether Alpha
Tae-hyung had led the Fealie into his room. A place he didn't see or use very often. It was kept clean nonetheless. He opened the two large doors and it swung apart, groaning with effort.
He glanced at her from the side, he motioned for her to enter. Waiting for her to take tentative steps into the room, he maintained a distance from her out of respect and entered seconds later.
"There are cleaning facilities to the left of the room, feel free to use anything you wish to. The place is yours to do as you wish." He said, comfortingly with confidence. He was gradually regaining his usual composure, only a little but of nervous anxiety was left in his demeanor.
Soaked to the bone, garb clinging to her bare skin, she nodded staring at him. She eyed him unabashedly, trying to get a read on him. Attempting to understand him. She wordlessly stared at his face, apprehension and wariness floating in her eyes. A tinge of pink crept onto Fealie Tae's cheeks. He cleared his voice and excused himself. Turning around and walking away swiftly, his robes swishing around him in a manner that bespoke of his importance to her.
She blinked watching the empty space of where he stood a moment ago. The doors closed with a soft thump.
Fealie Tae walked out of the room, swiveling his fingers skillfully over his shoulder to close the room doors.
The bedroom was massive and unnecessarily exuberant. He never slept there or lived in it. He used another enterance to make use of the bathroom, but that was just about it.
When he became second Fealie in order, he was given this place to stay. But, such lavish taste was unnecessary. He slept in the study when he had to, or out in the forest where nature comforted him.
"Hope she makes good use of it." He thought reffering to the room.
The consort of Fealie Tae turned slowly taking in the room, walking slowly toward the bathroom he'd mentioned. Eyeing the large tub, bath accessories and soaps that were on display. All exquisite quality. She stripped off her gown mindlessly and jumped in.
Cleaning herself and warming up. "It's so funny how being drenched in water is used, to avoid getting sick from being drenched in water, temperature is an amazing wonder..." She mused to herself.
She picked a minty citrus concoction, to lather onto her skin. "This bath wash is wonderful..." she sighed. Soaking in the hot water, wondering about her consort and his odd behavior.
Fealie Tae walked purposefully, feet stepping out from under his long flowing robes, striding in the direction of the King. The rules of the Fealie were that when their Females were formed, they would notify the King first.
Female Fealies were born from their males positive energy that resonated and collected in a spot for years. As the case with King Yoongi he meditated in the room behind the apothecary for years out of habit.
Fealie Tae would often sit on that very same bench and bask in harmony and meditate there, with the view of natural water flowing seamlessly infront of him.
In short, where a Fealie spent most time or meditated was where their female would form. The female Fealie were unique, since they were formed from their consorts energy and were quiet literally their other half. They were formed with full understanding and complete knowledge. They were the embodiment of perfection and completed the lives of their counter parts beautifully.
The last few centuries did not have any females and the Fealies had thought it was an extinction .
In actuality they were all strained from the war and had responsibilities to assist the wolves, Pixies and other beings, which fulfilled their purpose.
As a result, female Fealies did not form, since they weren't ready, as mother nature would put it.
Fealies gave off neutral energy or positive energy. Never negative. Positive energy could only be achieved when they were truly happy and content inside. And years of this accumulating would then lead to the forming of their consort.
Fealie Tae knocked on the door of the study that the King sat in at this time of day. Hearing the King answer, Fealie Tae entered bowing to Yoongi and Nora, who sat opposite Yoongi reading. "My King and Queen consort." He bowed respectfully.
Yoongi motioned for him to rise nodding at him, "Bowing isn't necessary, what can I help with?" Yoongi asked politely, smiling at Tae.
"It's a personal concern... I have come to notify you." He said, avoiding the point.
Yoongi nodded encouringly, "My - my consort.... has formed." He said with grudging finality. He breathed out heavily, happy he managed to convey his words well enough.
The Kings mouth cracked into a smile, one with knowing and humor. Mirth sparkled in his eyes.
"I see, congratulations." He said joyfully. Eyeing his second in command lightly, "How quick things happen, don't you agree love?" He said, looking adoringly at Nora.
Tae nodded, unease sitting in his chest, thinking about what he told Yoongi when Nora had come into his life.
He nodded and bowed stiffly, exiting the room. The King found too much joy in this.

Back in the mountains where the wolf shifters lived, it was the morning of the get together. That evening, everywolf would meet up at the common land, that was large enough to fit them all. It was spare land that was unaccounted for, looks like King Jin did think it all through.
The wolves weren't aware that the Fealies had advised him on the lands and cabins. They worked in advance for such times, knowing these occasions would arise.
Dawn smiled softly to herself as she dressed that morning. Her stomach showing a barely noticeable bump that could only be felt. "A miniature Jimin is growing inside.", She thought to herself.
Jimin hugged Dawn from behind, resting his head on her shoulder, "Good morning Mama." He teased. She swatted him playfully, "What? You may as well get used to it."
Dawn smiled, face glowing bright, "I will soon enough, but you don't call me Mama." She said, making him pout playfully.
"The pups will naturally call me that, but there's only one name that you and you alone can call me. I'd like that you use that name please." She said smiling at him with amusement and mischief.
"Oh yeah? What's that?" He said, looping his hands around her, "Mate." She said, eyeing him hungrily. She pressed a soft kiss on him and walked off happily, leaving a starry eyed Jimin behind.
The omegas from the differnt tribes had left a few hours after noon to help set up tables and line the place with food and drink.
Jimins tirbe had agreed to make the main course meals, which consisted of roasted meats, the vegetables provided by the Earth tribe.
Pull apart buns and breads were made by the Fire tribe and beverages were arranged by the Water tribe. The Air tribe had agreed on a surprise that only the Alphas knew about. The air omegas waited patiently to share it with everyone.
Thick blankets were placed on the large boulders that sat stubbornly on the mountain top for people to use as seats. In addition to that, fat cushions were scattered around. A few stools were placed around the even ground for easy sitting. Jimin had made sure of this, worried about Dawn's current precarious state.
Everything was set up and ready by the time the sun had begun to dip down for the day, which ushered in the evening.
All the Alphas had arrived, mates next to them, arms interlocked. The betas stood behind them on the right, a few steps back. The Omegas following behind.
Duri walzed in, his beta Edmond behind with the rest of his Omegas following suit. He was the only lone Alpha who hadn't been mated yet.
While he trusted mother nature's decision, he hoped that he would find her soon.
He howled low and soft one night looking at a full moon. He knelt down, sending a silent prayer reverently to mother nature, "Mother, wherever she is, until we meet, please keep her safe and well..." he said softly, placing three fingers on the ground in respect.
Deep down inside him, Duri was not too overwhelmed, since he knew he had yet to overcome some of the past that haunted him still. He often stayed up at night and slept at day when there was chatter and noise to disturb his thoughts and save him.
He would go into town and buy heaps of books to read at night. He had a steadily growing library. Duri made his coin by making wine and fruit juices, supplying the King of Concordia and the town. Living simply meant that irrespective of the profit, they managed well and fine.
He harvested grapes and fruit in his land at the back, having received tips from Hoesoek on how to grow them in their climate.
He had an enormous space underground, it was dark and cooler in temperature. He used it as storage for his beverages. He had a space for making the wines and juices to the side in the room.
It was secured by a trap door that allowed them to decend by a staircase.
When Duri had first day this, he asked the other Alphas if they had underground rooms as well but they had not.
They answered instead saying that Hoeseok was given land that was lower or of more even ground that was rich and fertile on his turf.
Namjoon said they were at the point with the highest altitude.
Hwan was given land that had steady flowing streams to help combat their rise in temperature being the fire wolves.
Putting all this information together they realized that the Fealie had planned it all out skillfully.
It was past noon and Fealie Tae had been strolling through the forest, mind spinning and evaded with thoughts of his consort. He didn't notice his surroundings or feel any atmosphere like he usually would. Mindlessly he walked around, eyes fixed ahead of him as if waiting for something.
He reached out and plucked up berries at random, he now held a handful of colourful berries, that he was not aware of doing, being so lost in thought.
Nervousness ran through him, making him lift a bright purple berry to his lips. "I wouldn't do that if I were you!" Said a voice coming from his side. Breaking out of his spell, Fealie Tae turned to see Aldan standing near, watching him.
"Good day to you, Fealie Tae." Aldan greeted, leaning against a tree, watching him with curiosity. "Good day...." Fealie Tae's soft melodious voice sounded out.
He distractedly stared at his palm, picking up a pink berry, "You don't want that either, makes you sing opera for weeks..." Aldan commented.
Tae dropped the berry to the ground, he knew this, he knew about the berries yet somehow it didn't register in his head.
Picking up a bright yellow one with little spikes on it, Aldan interjected saying, "No not that. Those make your cheeks swell and voice squeaky. Those are Twylas favorite." He supplied.
Again Fealie Tae knew this, but somehow it didn't register in his mind. Fealie Tae had released the berries to the floor, causing the berries to bounce and roll off.
"Are you okay?" Aladan queried, face full of concern. "Huh?" Tae asked distractedly. He glanced at multicolored berry, it was red and orange with a smooth waxy layer, and a pungent tropical scent.
Fealie Tae plucked one up, bringing it to his lips, "Uhhmm...? No don't do that, Fealie Tae." Aldan said nervously.
He didn't wish to offend the Fealie however, he wanted to alert the Fealie that he was about to eat another dangerous berry, seeing as he looked like his wits were all scattered about.
Tae placed the berry between his lips, and Aldan rushed forward, grasping his wrist deftly. He shook his head in warning to Tae. Fealie Tae seemed to be sewing in and out of thought, mind on his consort.
Aldan cleared his throat awkwardly, "Yeah those umm, make you feel.... I- I think the word is horn-" he cut off, awkwardly. "Oh yes. These cause one to feel rather, hot..." He said snapping out of his daze once again.
Tae cast a glance at Aldan, limpid eyes staring at the Pixie Head. "How are things with you?" Fealie Tae asked randomly, "All is well and fine, thank you. How about you? Would you like for me to walk back with you to the palace?"
He asked concerned.
"Ah, no, thank you for your kindness, I'll be fine..." Tae trailed off. He nodded once again and turned around, walking in a drunken manner back to the Palace.
He needed to speak to her. That would help surely...
Mind all over, dis-aligned and busy with thoughts of her, Tae barged into their now shared room. He found her asleep lying face down. She had cleaned up and fallen asleep prone ways, in the center of the bed. Fealie Tae walked over to the large bed and studied her.
Her hair fell over her face, a silky curtain covering her features as she slept soundly.
Most female Fealies fell asleep for hours after they formed. It was something that occurred, with all of them to help recharge their energy.
He was prepared to wait by her side. Tae moved her hair to the side, admiring her smooth snowy skin. Her eyes were closed, eyelashes proudly fanning out, resting on her cheeks. She trembled slightly, fussing.
Sometimes the females, while getting accustomed to their surroundings, would experience odd changes. Their meridians working to see what was favorable in the environment. As a result they would break out in a fever.
Fealie Tae frowned, reaching to press a hand on her forehead. She was cold as snow. Instantly he began to panic. His mind reeled with different herbs and tonics. What could work best. Everything he thought of had to be taken orally and she was asleep.
A sudden thought bloomed. He waved his hand and another thick plush blanket covered her. She grunted irritably and pushed both coverings off her to reveal that she was nude.
Fealie Tae froze in pace, heart sitting petrified. His eyebrows raised up high and his mouth widened in shock. His heart immediately unfroze and began beating wildly in his chest.
He noticed the curve of her hips and sinched waist. Shaking his thoughts free he tried to be more rational.
Thinking back he remembered that he kept no clothing. She must have been weak still, not being able to conjur up a gown. Getting up, he took off his own outer robe and draped it over her, hoping his warmth would help.
He aligned his hands over her and channeled more heat through to her, warming her up and helping bate the chill she felt. She relaxed in her sleep, shifting in a more comfortable position, hiking her one leg up.
He placed the blankets over her slowly.
That's when he caught a whiff of her soap. She used his scents. "Coincidence..." smiled to himself.
Returning back to his seat. Crossing his leg and resting his elbow on it which held his chin up, he watched his consort sleep soundly. Something he no doubt would not manage anytime soon.
.
.
.
The get together had begun on a good note, everyone had began digging into food and drink, mixing and mingling.
The wolves would randomly strike up a conversation learning about each other.
The females from the Ether tribe spoke to the mates of the alphas, swapping stories and bonding over girly topics. They were going to meet once a week and spend time together.
Olivia sat with Dawn, both of them catching up with events. Lora and Marina did the same, talking about their experiences up until how they discovered each other were here in the mountains.
The Alphas grouped together, each of them either holding a cup or a small plate with a snack, grouping to discuss the event planned for later on.
Jimin nodded swirling his drink around casually as he confirmed something, knocking it back, showing his Adam apple bobbing as he swallowed. Dawn watched him, licking her lips wolfishly, the females were watching the Alphas hoping to find out what was going on.
Ethan, Clive and Alfred made their rounds, greeting everyone, bowing politely to the ladies who were mated and bonded. Seeing as wolves knew who their mates were once they saw them, randomly some omegas peered over around curious at the ether tribe females, but to no avail.
A little area was set up for addressing the crowd. The Alphas stood proudly, waiting to address the crowd. Everywolf quietened down to whispers and hushes.
The Alphas addressed the crowds according to age which went: Hoesoek, Hwan, Namjoon, Duri and Jimin.
The Alphas unanimously broke into a howl greeting the wolves, "Good evening to everywolf. Thank you all for attending this get together." Hoesoek began.
"This is our first offical gathering, with all of us continuing our heritage and future line." Hwan added.
"It took a longer time than needed, for all of us to stand united once more, and I feel that we have our respective mates to thank for that. May we always stay connected and unified." Namjoon said.
"Yes, a huge thank you to the fated mates, we are greatful to you and the Ether clan wolves, for making us all realise what we have been missing - and that was wolf contact and company. It's been wonderful thus far to meet with the other clans once again." Spoke Duri.
"I would like to convey my well wishes to eveywolf, may we all find happiness and much deserved peace. It's wonderful seeing us all like this. I'd like to thank everywolf, for pitching in and making this a success." Jimin said smiling.
"And lastly, a very warm welcome to the Ether tribe wolves, may you find happiness and companionship with the rest of us." Hoesoek said, howling once more.
"In a while from now, we shall begin games and other fun activities, to break the ice and get to know each other better." Namjoon replied.
The Alphas returned back to the crowd, the rest of the wolves howling in agreement.
Earlier that morning, two wolves had bonded from the Ether tribe.
Luna and Jonathen, from the same clan had bonded, seeing as Luna had turned twenty years that day, which was the official age that made a female wolf ready to find her mate.
They had stuck together and were close even during the time when they were imprisoned.
The wolves had all congratulated them and made acquaintances with them.
Luna gathered with the other mates females and spoke with them, swapping stories and how they met their mates.
"Everyone is so welcoming, thank you so much. I know I joined late, but I am so greatful." Luna said shyly.
"Join late?" Olivia asked shocked.
"No sweety you can't say that. That's not fair, you were found and thank God. You never left the clan, you alway were a part of the wolf clan." Dawn said comforting her.
Dawn hugged Luna a tear slipping free.
"So umm, what do I do now?" Luna asked shyly.
The ladies laughed cheerily, "Its all on him now." Lora laughed.
"Yes, it's just intinct for the rest. Everything from communication to intimacy follows on instinct." Dawn answered her.
Marina listened intently, feeling a little akward. She and Hoesoek hadn't mated yet given their situation at home.
She felt a little odd.
Just then Jonathen had approached them, bowing his head and crossing his fist over his heart in respect.
He was a tall wolf, with chocolate brown hair and dark sapphire eyes. He blushed shyly, his eyes turning a crimson colour.
He led Luna away, wanting to eat with her.
After everywolf had eaten enough and were full, they proceeded to the edge of the meeting place where the betas had planned a race for those who wanted to partake. It allowed the wolves to shift and stretch their paws.
Almost all the wolves had come forward, with the exception of Dawn and the others who couldn't shift, like Marina, Lora and Olivia. Jimin stayed behind to check on Dawn, seeing as she would randomly feel sick.
The first group of wolves shifted and broke free. The race was from the top of the mountain to halfway through the forest. Jungkook and Edmond had placed markings to indicate where they would turn around and come back.
Wolves shifted and sprang free, enjoying their time, leaping and bounding through the path.
The other wolves made small talk while waiting for the next lap.
Dawn sat snacking on a peice of tart, she ruffled Jungkooks hair in a motherly way, "You did a good job Kookie." She praised, calling him by a nickname.
The beta preened, he thought to himself, "Is this what a mothers touch is like?"
Never too far away from his mate, Jimins eyes widened when he saw that, imagining her with his pups and his heart skipped a beat. He couldn't wait for them to be born. She caught his eye, winking at him, making him blush a little. "Oh yeah our thoughts are linked..."
He remembered.
Tae-hyung watched as his female slept soundly, she looked so beautiful, even when she slept. He was taken away with her features.
She breathed steadily in her sleep, turning to the side, and streching. She curled an arm up and over her head, arcing her back, which made his robe slip down her shoulders. He hesitated at the sight, stiffening.
She opened her eyes, glancing over to him, which made her bolt up in bed. The robe sliding off her
Tae-hyung gracefully unfolded himself from his seat, lazily waving his hand, which materialized a gown. He draped it over the bed and turned his back to her.
"You can wear that, I know you must have been exhausted and couldn't conjur up clothing..." he said.
"No that's not it..." she admitted. The atmosphere in the room had become akward. He turned slowly, scowling at her. "What?" He asked, in surprise. "What?" She parroted back, shrugging, she slipped the robe he covered her with, tying it very loosely.
She teased him, knowing the fabric was thin crepe cotton, charcoal in color. Tying it loosely was as good as not tying it at all. Tae-hyung frowned at her behavior, she seemed to warm up to him. But he was suspicious for some reason.
"I could conjur up my own, but... I thought it would be fun seeing your reaction, only I fell asleep before that..." she gloated smugly. She peeked through her lids up at him, catching his reaction.
He was such a handsome Fealie, "My goodness! So handsome and delicately carved, those jaws are sharp... those eyes- well they telltale alot if which he thinks he's hiding." She said to herself.
"The minx!" He thought.
"Careful now I can hear your thoughts." She answered back grinning.
"Likewise." he parried back.
She approached him, tracing her thin long fingers over his arm, causing him to shiver and close his eyes. "I don't mind if you hear them..."
She smirked, lips pulling up beautifully. How she tempted him.... she tested his patience. She reached for his jaw, but he caught her hand deftly, glaring at her, a fire blazing in his eyes.
"One important thing... ? What's your name?" He asked her, annoyed that he didn't already know.
"You may call me desire." She laughed.
"No" he answered firmly.
"Temptation?" She asked,
"No!" He answered riled up.
"How about-" she began,
"How about your real name or I'll leave." He said clipped.
She huffed out, "Fine, it's Iris." She replied, smiling up at him.
"Iris..." he thought. Liking the name.
"It's kind of funny seeing as I formed in the middle of a waterfall you know?" She said in a lighty with a hint of annoyance.
"You formed in the pool?" He asked shocked.
"Yeah, didn't you hear the splash?" She asked in a dry sarcastic voice, "Of all the places you pick a waterfall!?" She asked incredulously.
Fealie Tae did not like her tone, he felt as if she mocked him. He narrowed his eyes, "I did not expect that you'd form there. There were other places around me." He said indignant.
"Aha, sure." She answered cheekily.
Fealie Tae grew agitated, she tested his patience, something he usually had alot of.
"You forget one thing Tae, the main object of your panoramic view was the waterfall. I doubt that you sat there because of the trees in that spot... ?"
"How do you know my name?" He asked incredulously, she smiled smugly. "We're the smart ones you know us females..." she jested.
"That isn't what I meant." He answered irritated.
"My name means rainbow by the way, don't think too hard." She commented reading his mind, he kept repeating her name as if in awe. She spoiled his moment.
"So when do we meet the King?" She asked curiously, but was the wrong thing to ask a territorial Fealie going through his process of bonding.
"He's occupied." Tae answered clipped.
She threw a regarding gaze at him, analysing him. She opened her mouth to say something when he stepped forward, long hand gracefully gripping the back of her neck and pulling her toward him. He sealed his lips, kissing her. Eyes shut, basking in this new feeling. Caught by surprise, Iris, gripped his large square shoulders.
He rested his forehead on hers, backing her up to the bed. "You need to rest, I can feel your energy dwindle." He said concerned for her. She nodded weakly, allowing him to help her up onto his large bed. Sitting next to her and preparing to share some energy, she caught him off guard, throwing herself at him, and embracing him.
"Tae..." she breathed out.
The two of them had fallen asleep, Iris unconsciously, shifting closer to Fealie Tae in her sleep.
"This is definitely new." Fealie Tae said softly to himself. He held her delicately, close to him. He felt a strong pull toward her, and if he was honest, her sassy demeanor was refreshing and he knew she wasn't disrespectful. Being with her would be like being in a glade with fresh air.
.
.
.
The sky had turned inky black with glittering stars adorning it, making the night of the get together even more magical.
Namjoon had decided, as Wind Alpha that now would be a good time to reveal his surprise. He and his beta Grey, carried in large paper lanterns.
Grey brought in flint and coal along with a few pens. The beta of the Wind clan was rarely seen, usually minding his own business. He was reserved and quiet, most of them didn't even know who the beta was exactly. Usually choosing to stay at home and handle those matters and tasks.
Everywolf gathered around the area peering curiously. Namjoon winked at Olivia who looked around at what he brought and then at him with surprise.
"My shifters, today I decided to brighten up the night even more with these wish lanterns. Each member will write a wish and set it alight to float.
Signifying how we work hand-in-hand and shall fortify out bond and promise." He said proudly, gaining a huge applause of appreciation.
The air in the atmosphere helped the lanterns remain buoyant in the sky, while the fire created carbon dioxide to assist.
Grey and Hwan had stepped forward and helped hand out the lanterns so that everwolf had one.
Namjoon discussed this idea with the other Alphas during their recent clan meeting.
It was manageable since they were still a growing clan, with only approximately a hundred Wolves in total including the mates and the Ether tribe.
He had gotten all of the clans Omegas to help make the paper lanterns together, helping them all become acquainted with each other. The other Alphas agreed that this was a great idea, and in agreeing that it was a team building activity, they managed to cover up the surprise.
Everywolf wrote a wish, pens and coal had been supplied to scribble them on before opening them up and lighting them.
Each shifters wish special, unique and full of hope. Their wishes would all float together up to the heavens, representing them all standing together once again.
May I have my own family one day.
- Jungkook
May we never fall apart again.
- Hoesoek
I hope I learn to cook as well as I bake.
- Alfred
Let our pups grow up to be as wonderful and strong as their dad.
- Dawn
May we strengthen our bond and succeed in unity, come any calamity.
- Hwan
Let Dawn and the Ether tribe always remain protected.
- Jimin
Olivia's smile should never fade, may she always be happy.
- Namjoon
Let the wolf clan never see the days we had to, ever again.
- Blaze
For Hwan to be happy and let us have pups soon.
- Lora
To find my mate and live happy...
- Duri
To be able to live free and happy.
- Luna
For Luna to get what she wishes for.
- Jonathen
May Hoeseok experience only happiness from now on.
- Marina
Help the wolves adjust to the changes and be happy.
- Olivia
To remain unified and to build our numbers.
-Grey
May we always be blessed with abundance and prosperity.
- Clive
Let us remain happy and untroubled on this mountain.
- Edmond
May mother nature always be there to guide us.
-Ethan
One by one they were lit and the wolves gently let them up into the air, watching the lanterns made from different coloured paper float and illuminate the sky even more. The colours making the night even more majestical.
Marina wrapped an arm around Hoeseok, admiring the sky.
Jimin hugged Dawn from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder.
Namjoon linked his arms with Olivia, pulling her closer to whisper, "Qu'est-ce que tu penses?" (What do you think?), he asked her smiling broadly.
"I think this was the most sweetest, sentimental idea ever. Perfect for the occasion." She said, eyes shining with unshed tears of emotion.
Lora and Hwan stood holding hands, fingers interlocked, she looked up at the sky in wonder, "Wow..." she said. "I know," he said a little smug.
"Thats what I say everytime I see you..." he said placing a kiss on her cheek.
"I have one more surprise for us all..." he said softly to her.
When all the lanterns had floated up and away, now little specs of colour in the sky, Jungkook jumped up excited.
"Okay! Hello all, welcome to the singing session!" He said enthusiastically.
A few groans were heard from the Earth tribe, but Marina nodded encouringly. Jungkook opened his mouth and began singing, the sound beautiful.
Clive and Ethan stood shocked wondering if their ears were that harrased that they were now in denial.
He sang an old song that was used as a lullaby for the wolves. It spoke of strength and another tomorrow.
It resonated within them all. The air was filled with chills of how beautiful and pure his voice was.
He ended the last note on a low tone, the words full of promise for a better life.
The crowd was mixed with shock and emotion. "OH!? He probably only sucks at ope-" Clive was elbowed in the ribs by Ethan, shutting him up.
"I told you I was still practicing back then!" Jungkook said lightheartedly making them laugh.
Marina had heard him when she walked past one afternoon. He was folding laundry and singing softly.
She didn't approach him but she knew his singing was a good idea. Jungkook had asked Duri for advice on what song to pick for the get together. The old lullaby was suggested by the Water Alpha.
A while later while everywolf was chattering and having desserts, Blaze and few omegas had prepared their next surprise. The stuck large long sparklers into ground and arranged large fountains around it.
Hwan had made these himself with resources he found around his turf.
Lighting it up, the area sparkled with golden light, a thrill running through the packs. The fountains glittered with tall lights of blue and green and red.
Everyone cheered, it was the perfect ending. These simple little things brought so much excitement to them all and being able to enjoy it all together made it wonderful and meaningful.
It was well into the morning when they all returned back to their turfs to rest. The wolves all slept peacefully without any nightmares or foreboding thoughts for the first time. No haunting dreams of the war and the after effects.
A childlike excitement spread throughout the wolf clan, having reunited. Being able to speak and interact since the war about normal things was a relief.
They had realized that the tribes avoided contact until now as it reminded them of the war and having to contact each other only to be alerted about threats. Seeing each other only refreshed those memories, but for some reason now, it was different.
The younger omegas from each tribe agreed to go running together the next day.
The earth tribe wolves had mustered the courage to ask Olivia to share and explain the weird behavior of females and how they could understand this phenomenon better, to which she happily agreed. It was a step closer to helping them prepare for their life in the future. She was determined to share her ideals and teaching, so that if need be, they'd be aware. Her wish was coming true, she thought excitedly.
Tae-hyung opened his eyes, the room coming into focus, "Oh yes..." he thought, remembering everything that happened.
He turned his head, glancing as his consort Iris who slept peacefully. He reached out to play with the ends of her silky hair. Turning onto her side in her sleep, she grapsed his hand. He brought their clasped plans together, placing a faint kiss on her knuckles.
Iris opened her eyes slowly, staring at Tae next to her. "You've never slept here before have you?" She asked softly.
"No, I usually avoid this room..." he answered in his lilting voice.
"It reminds me of how posh and pompous people of power are and I refuse to encourage that. But now that you're here, you can stay here. I usually would sleep in the forest or a chaise in the study, anywhere except here. This place was allocated to us, its like living in luxury while everyone suffers." He explained to her, something he never admitted before.
"Tae?" She called him, his shoulders went rigid at the name, her voice so mystical and enchanting.
"We can move to another room. I agree with what you say. But remember not to sway from royal decorum and not to offend those that bestowed this room as a place for you. They probably did so, trusting you wouldn't be the pompous arrogant kind. And in actuality no Fealie is. So how did you deduce this?" She asked, shifting to lean up.
"It's just, as second Fealie in order ... I don't need people to assume I am taking the Kings place. This room is huge. King Yoongi sleeps in a room that's smaller. I usually attend dealings on behalf of him. For a while people thought I was the King. I don't approve of such disregard to the King. So I tried to live more simply." He explained.
Iris reached forward and pressed a kiss on his forhead, making him shiver with surprise. He didn't know how she did this. Strange emotions filled him that made him want to bolt away from her but being away from her felt horrible.
Tae wondered what was wrong with himself.
An hour later the two walked out if their room in matching cream and silver robes, scented with the same citrus and mint wash.
They joined King Yoongi at the court room, ready to meet the other Fealie and announce the new prophecies and share their input. Iris was also going to officially meet the Pixies with Nora.
The King did a very odd thing, he smiled. Yoongi never smiled unless a Pixie was around. Fealie Tae shook his head slightly, "I have to get my mind right, back to my usual self." He said.

A/n: Hey everyone 👋
Thanks for reading this chapter

Just wanted to explain something, with regard to the Fealies and their consorts.
They all experience different emotions when they first meet. After that they would mellow out again, I wanted to use the different relationship parts in a marriage and split it show the different aspects with the different couples.
So you'd notice Yoongi and Nora would have the comforting intimacy, being able to talk and support each other.
With Tae and Iris I showed more physical affection. I hope to add another couple soon to this.
Just making this clear. I hope you enjoyed my attempt at trying to portray the different cycles and experiences couples go through in marriage and relationships in this book.
I wanted to show everyone that no relationship is perfect and flawless but when you work together it seems more than perfect because of understanding and actual love. I know love often is confused with love brainless sex and smut and while that's good to experience, it's not the sole part and crux of any relationship.
I hope you enjoy this series that's more of my own story than a fanfic. I did use the names of BTS but that's about it.
Thanks for always reading and commenting ♥
