In the dimly lit servant's quarters, Minji's room was a battlefield. Broken glass littered the floor, furniture lay overturned, and curtains were torn from their rods. A shattered mirror reflected her twisted expression as she seethed with rage.

"How dare he come back!" Minji screamed, her voice echoing in the small room. She grabbed a porcelain vase and hurled it against the wall, watching it shatter with a satisfying crash.

"That boy... Jungkook," she spat, pacing furiously. "He's ruined everything! I had him gone once, and now he's back, prancing around like he owns this place."

All of her carefully laid plans were unraveling. Taehyung was supposed to be hers. Jungkook's return had ruined everything, and now, the King's attention was solely on that infuriating boy.

A maid peeking through the slightly ajar door gasped as Minji grabbed another object, her eyes wild. The maid quickly pulled back, her heart racing. "She's gone mad..." she whispered, scurrying away to avoid being caught.

Minji clenched her fists. "If he won't leave on his own... I'll make sure he does."

---------------------------------

That evening, Jungkook sat on the couch, absentmindedly playing with the hem of his shirt. His usual sparkle was missing, replaced by a lingering sadness. The loss of his beloved crabs weighed heavily on him.

Taehyung, sitting beside him, couldn't bear to see his bun so down. Gently, he wrapped an arm around Jungkook's shoulders. "Still thinking about your crabs, bun?"

Jungkook nodded, his lips forming a small pout. "They were so cute... and Jin hyung... cooked them." His voice trembled, and Taehyung suppressed a smile at how dramatic his mate could be.

Taehyung leaned in, pressing a soft kiss to Jungkook's temple. "How about I cheer you up with something special?"

Jungkook's bunny eyes blinked up at him. "Special? Like what?"

Taehyung smirked. "How would you like to meet V, my wolf?"

Jungkook's eyes widened in a mix of excitement and nervousness. "Your wolf? You mean... your real wolf form?"

Taehyung nodded. "You'll love him. He's not as scary as you think."

Jungkook hesitated, nibbling on his lip. "What if... he doesn't like me?"

Taehyung chuckled, lifting Jungkook's chin with a finger. "He already adores you, bun. Trust me and he is more than excited to meet you "

"Then what are we waiting for lets go" A shy smile tugged at Jungkook's lips, a hint of excitement lighting up his features.

----------------------------------

The moonlight bathed the forest in a soft glow as Taehyung led Jungkook through a serene path lined with towering trees. The air was crisp, and the distant sound of a bubbling brook added to the peaceful ambiance.

"Are we close?" Jungkook asked, his voice tinged with both anticipation and nervousness.

"Almost there," Taehyung replied, his hand firmly holding Jungkook's.

They stopped in a small clearing. Taehyung turned to Jungkook, his eyes soft yet serious. "Stay here, bun. I'll shift now. Don't be scared, okay?"

Jungkook nodded, clasping his hands together nervously. He watched as Taehyung stepped back, closing his eyes. Within moments, his form began to change. His body elongated, fur sprouting as his limbs grew stronger and more powerful.

Before long, Taehyung stood in his wolf form—a magnificent, towering creature with gleaming black fur and piercing golden eyes. His sheer size was overwhelming, and his regal presence radiated power. V stood tall, his powerful form radiating both grace and dominance.

Jungkook's initial reaction was to take a cautious step back, his breath hitching at the sheer size of the wolf,  his eyes wide with awe and a touch of fear. "T-Tae...?"

The massive wolf lowered its head slightly, his golden eyes soft and inviting, letting out a soft, rumbling growl that sounded more like a purr. It took a slow step toward Jungkook, its golden eyes filled with warmth.  He padded closer, his tail wagging gently. Carefully, the wolf nudged Jungkook's hand with its snout.

Jungkook flinched at first but then giggled nervously. "Y-You're not so scary... I think."

Jungkook let out a nervous laugh, his hand trembling slightly as he reached out. "You're... you're huge, but..." He touched V's fur, his eyes lighting up. "You're so soft!"

Encouraged by the wolf's gentle demeanor, Jungkook hesitantly again  placed his hand on its head, stroking the soft fur. "You're... actually really cute," he whispered, smiling shyly.

V  huffed, as if pleased with the compliment. He nudged Jungkook again, this time playfully, making the boy stumble slightly. Jungkook laughed. "Okay, okay! You're not just cute—you're huge too!"

V huffed softly, a wolfish equivalent of a chuckle, and nudged Jungkook's hand with his snout.

Before long, Jungkook was giggling, running his hands through V's fur and even playfully tugging on his ears. "Tae hyungie, you didn't tell me V is this cute!"

Taehyung, back in his wolf form, couldn't help but internally laugh at the irony. V, the fearsome royal wolf who commanded respect and fear, was now being called cute.

Jungkook suddenly dropped to the ground and hugged V's massive form. "You're like a giant puppy, V!"

 Everyone was used to bowing at the sight of Taehyung's wolf, yet here was Jungkook, treating him like a harmless pet.

The two played around in the clearing, with Taehyung's wolf bounding around Jungkook, occasionally letting out soft howls. Jungkook's laughter echoed through the forest as he tried to keep up with the agile wolf.

----------------------------------

The evening air still clung to Jungkook as he and Taehyung returned to the mansion. Jungkook was practically bouncing with excitement, his cheeks flushed from the brisk walk and the thrill of meeting V. Taehyung, his hands stuffed casually in his pockets, followed behind with a knowing smirk.

As they entered the living room, they found Jimin, Yoongi, Namjoon, and Hoseok lounging on the couches. Jin was notably absent, likely busy in the kitchen whipping up another one of his masterpieces.

"Hey, you're back!" Jimin greeted, setting his teacup down. "Where did you two sneak off to?"

Jungkook beamed, plopping down on the couch beside Jimin. "I met Tae hyungie's wolf!"

The room fell silent. All eyes turned to Jungkook, their expressions ranging from surprise to disbelief.

"You met V?" Namjoon asked slowly, as if making sure he heard correctly. "And you're... fine?"

Jungkook blinked at him, confused. "Why wouldn't I be? V's adorable!"

"Adorable?!" Jimin choked on his tea, coughing violently while Yoongi patted his back with a snort.

Namjoon leaned forward, adjusting his glasses. "Jungkook, you do know V is a royal trueblood Alpha Wolf, right? The kind of wolf that makes people kneel just by looking at him?"

Jungkook nodded enthusiastically. "Yeah, he's so majestic! But when you pet him, he's like a big fluffy pillow. And his ears—so soft!"

Hoseok looked like he was trying to process this information, his mouth opening and closing like a fish. "Wait, wait. You petted V? And you're telling me he let you?"

"Not just that," Jungkook continued, eyes sparkling. "He even let me hug him! Oh, and when I called him a giant puppy, he wagged his tail!"

Yoongi, who rarely showed much emotion, actually chuckled. "A giant puppy? That's rich."

By this point, Jimin was practically rolling on the couch with laughter. "I can't believe it. The mighty V, reduced to a cuddle toy!"

Namjoon shook his head in disbelief. "People have literally fainted at the sight of that wolf, Jungkook. And you're out here hugging him like he's a stuffed animal."

Jungkook tilted his head, genuinely puzzled. "Why would anyone be scared of him? He's so sweet."

Taehyung, who had been silently observing the chaos, finally spoke, his tone calm but laced with pride. "That's because its you bun. He wouldn't act that way with just anyone."

Jungkook turned to him, his bunny smile lighting up the room. "Really, Tae hyungie? That makes me happy!"

The others exchanged looks of disbelief, but before they could comment further, Jin walked in with a platter of freshly baked cookies. He took one look at the group and raised an eyebrow. "What's going on here?"

"Jungkook thinks V is cute," Jimin said between giggles.

Jin stared at Jungkook for a moment before shrugging. "Well, if anyone could tame that beast, it's our bunny."

Taehyung couldn't help but smirk, thinking about how Jungkook's attention had shifted entirely to him and his wolf. Those crabs had nothing on me, he thought smugly, wrapping his arms tightly around his mate.

The room erupted into laughter, and even Taehyung chuckled, pulling Jungkook more close to ruffle his hair. . Let them laugh. His bun saw a side of V no one else could, and Taehyung wouldn't have it any other way.
