chapter three
The full moon hung high, bathing the courtyard in silver light. Every wolf of the Euphoria pack had gathered, forming a wide circle around the ceremonial stone platform. Lanterns swayed in the cool night air, and the sound of drums echoed like heartbeats through the mountains.
At the center stood the twins.
Vincent—chin raised proudly, violet eyes glowing with eagerness, his Alpha aura already pulsing as though straining to break free.
Taehyung—silent, unreadable, his olive-green eyes calm and steady. Yet deep inside, his wolf stirred, red-grey eyes flashing like a storm beneath the surface.
Namjoon and Seokjin stood together at the edge of the platform, their hands clasped tightly, hearts heavy with both pride and worry
The pack elder, an old wolf with silver hair and a staff carved from sacred oak, lifted his voice.

Seventeen years ago, under the blessing of the Moon Goddess, two sons were born to Euphoria. Tonight, they step forward as wolves—marked by their ranks, awakened in their destiny
The drums grew louder. The air seemed to thicken, charged with power. One by one, the young wolves of the pack howled, sending their energy toward the twins.
A rush of heat flooded Vincent first. His body stiffened, violet eyes glowing brighter, pupils narrowing into slits as his Alpha pheromones burst to life. It rolled off him in waves—heady, commanding, sharp like fire and steel. Some of the younger omegas gasped, trembling slightly under the pressure. Vincent’s grin spread wide.

Finally, □he whispered, his voice roughened with Alpha resonance.□
KIM VINCENT
Feels like my wolf’s been waiting forever.
Taehyung stood perfectly still, but inside, his chest burned. A low growl rippled from his throat before he could stop it. His wolf surged forward—mighty, vast, unstoppable.
The ground itself seemed to tremble when Taehyung’s pheromones awakened. Unlike Vincent’s sharp dominance, Taehyung’s presence was crushing—an overwhelming force of authority that made even seasoned Alphas bow their heads without realizing it. His aura was ice and fire, calm yet suffocating, as though the very air bent to his will.
Gasps rippled through the pack. Several wolves dropped to their knees.
“Enigma…” someone whispered.
But Taehyung wasn’t listening
Because in that same moment—through the rush of power, through the sea of scents and heartbeats—he caught it.
A fragrance unlike anything else.
Warm. Luminous. Sweet, like moonlight falling on blooming jasmine.
His wolf howled inside him, violent and restless. His wolf howled inside him, violent and restless. His wolf howled inside him, violent and restless.
Taehyung’s olive eyes widened just slightly, flickering with red-grey light. He turned his head, scanning the crowd instinctively, searching for the source.
Vincent noticed immediately. His brows furrowed.
KIM VINCENT
What is it? □he asked under his breath.□
Vincent’s heart thudded in his chest. His lips parted in disbelief.
KIM VINCENT
Moon Goddess…□ he whispered.□
