Taehyung looked at his mother with teary eyes. He found his family. Dreams upon dreams held them as a wish to be reunited with them. His mother and his elder brother. But being with them now did not fill him with joy. Instead, he felt like dying.

Because against his will, he was separated from his dear Mates, taken away into the moon forest.

Just when he got rid of his old tormentor and accepted his feelings for the twins, he was kidnapped. Kidnapped by his own brother who claimed to love him but - in reality - was nothing but a brutal man uncaring of Taehyung's feelings.

They didn't care about who he became. They cared about the child he used to be, the past but that was all gone now. Taehyung was not the one they wanted. He was a male Omega, an eternal wolf. But he was not their Baby they could control.

"You had no right to keep me from them, nor did you have the right to make them forget. They went through horrible things. When their mother died, they were tortured by their father. I was in Seokjin's grasp. Mother, Hyung... they deserve to be with me, just as I deserve to be with them. I don't care if the mate bond is not true. I love them and I will continue to fight for them", he addressed his supposed family.

"I found my family, in beautiful people who accepted me the way I am. You gave me my Mates but we turned it into love. I love them and I know they love me. You cannot separate us. But if you continue, I will fight you with all I have, I promise you that", Taehyung said fiercely.

Namjoon wanted to protest since they just got him back, but Luna held up a hand, fond eyes fixed on her youngest. Her actions were rushed and stupid, yes, but she was a goddess and a mother. She had to act this way. But seeing her precious Taehyungie standing in front of her, hatred and despair in his eyes, it made the moon goddess realize that she made a mistake.

"I never wanted to see you in pain. I was blinded by the sadness of losing you and the desire to be reunited with you. Now that I see what a wonderful and strong person you have become, I couldn't be more proud. But your heart also opened for two other beings and what kind of mother would I be if I forbid you that love?", she said gently, reaching forward to take Taehyung's hand.

The male allowed it, stunned. Namjoon on the other side tightly sealed his lips shut.

"It was my fault Seokjin came to know about your existence. All your pain was my fault, too and I take full responsibility for it. Now tell me, did the twins help you in forgetting all you've been through?"

"Yes", Taehyung answered in a whisper, throat tightening. "They've been everything I've ever dreamed about and wished for. I wish to spend eternity together with them. I'm not asking for much, mother", Taehyung spoke, Silver agreeing deep inside him.

Mother was right but wrong. Our Mates are more than protectors. They love us, Taehyung heard Silver whisper inside of him. It made him feel strong. All this time, he has feared his Mates loved him because of their Mate bond. They were forced to love him but that has been wrong.

They were never forced to love him. It was their free will.

"And if you continue to keep them away from me, I will raise whatever powers I have left to fight my way out of this forest and take you down in the process", Taehyung warned Luna with suddenly sapphire glowing eyes. Silver and Taehyung agreed on one thing:

They would do anything to return to their Mates, even threaten their family. The family who was gone for years.

But Luna lifted her hands in surrender. "My strong child, what a warrior you have become", she smiled fondly at her youngest before going to hug him close to her chest.

At first, Taehyung stiffened but once he felt the familiarity of the hug, he relaxed. Another pair of arms wrapped around him. "My dear baby brother, forgive me. I never intended to make you unhappy... I apologize for what I've said. In my mind, you are still the same child I always protected. I forgot that you turned into a strong, beautiful man", Namjoon gently apologized.

Taehyung didn't answer but allowed his brother to hug him.

Time would show whether he was going to forgive him or not.

But this was his brother and Taehyung had dreamed to be reunited with him. His big brother who was forced to accept that he couldn't protect his baby anymore. So Taehyung slowly returned Namjoon's hug until he was familiar to his scent. Again.

Luna allowed Taehyung to go back down to earth as the moon forest was situated, well... on top of the moon. It was a mystic world that no living being has ever seen, except for Luna and her beautiful children.

Taehyung parted with a happy heart, happy because he finally found his blood-related family but also happy because he was going to return to his other family, the ones his heart had chosen.

But the petit Omega halted, something tugging on his heart and he turned to face his mother.

J-Jieun... she saved me... is she...?", Taehyung whispered, his big blue eyes filled with tears as he remembered how bravely the female Alpha had fought for him. He wished for her to still be alive but knew that not even his mother could return the dead to the living world.

Luna smiled gently.

"She is with me, my beautiful. Her paws will forever run over forest ground."

Taehyung nodded before transforming into his beautiful silver wolf, fur now freckled with white dots, the representation of the moon, of his heritage. A large sapphire shone in the middle of his forehead when he lowered it before turning.

His silver paws carrying him back home.

Luna released a long breath before staring up to the night sky. She extended her arms and smiled.

"The one with the most power is never the King, but the Queen. Once Taehyung realizes that, they'll put the world at his feet."

The moon goddess reached out for her eldest son, delicately holding his hand and Namjoon squeezed his mother's hand.

"We will see him again, Namjoon-ah. And we will watch over him."
