Taehyung's POV

Six months later

"Happy birthday, Taehyung!" Jungkook exclaims as I arrive through the packhouse doors. It's three in the morning when he should be sound asleep along with the other pack members, but instead, all the lights are on and silly string is flying through the hallways.

My friends are yelling out surprise and jumping up as they wear party hats, spray silly string, and pop those party poppers that burst out confetti and streamers.

My shocked face turns into one of bliss as I look at my Luna. He's jumping up and down, spinning in circles with a huge smile upon his face. His loud shouts are enough to make my blood course through me with adrenaline.

He leaps into my arms, quite literally too, which causes my leather jacket to fall out of my grip and onto the floor that's littered with different colored balloons.

However, I do catch him easily enough. The jacket is long forgotten as I spin him around in circles. His legs wrap around my waist as his arms drape over my shoulders and back. My hands wrap around his waist.

"You planned this?" He nods excitedly, blowing into those noisemakers that are so very loud and annoying but fun. I chuckle as I remove that from his mouth and smash our lips together in a fiery kiss.

In the midst of the kiss, music begins to blast through the speakers we have around the packhouse. It's loud enough to rattle the walls and bring upon that vibration without our bodies.

Enough to make me smile ecstatically and look at my pack. "Happy birthday, Alpha!" A laugh flees my lips as I kiss Jungkook's forehead and set him down gently. He pushes me towards our friends.

I hug each of them, squeezing them tightly to make them understand how grateful I am. When my gaze lands on Jungkook once more, he's standing there, cheeks tinted a rose color, and those beautiful eyes glinting under the flashing lights.

"Thank you, Angel. God, I love you so, so much. You mean the absolute world to me, my Luna!" He hugs me with a cute giggle that makes my stomach flip nervously. Rylee giggles too.

My gaze falls down to my little girl who tugs at my slacks and nearly hugs my leg. She's looking up at us, a huge smile on her face as she kicks a balloon with her feet. I laugh wholeheartedly. My hands reach down to pick her up.

I toss her into the air and catch her again as I rub my nose against hers. She squeals and laughs, eyes narrowing, and smile widening. God, she's so beautiful.

Nevertheless, the party begins. The music drowns out our laughter and squeals as we party hard. Balloons are tossed and kicked into the air. We pass them around. Alcohol is served at the kitchen island and soon enough, we're chugging down shots.

It's fun and we're too far gone on the fun to really care. The hours seem to fly by quicker than we expect. It's almost six when the sun begins to rise and I drag my friends out of our packhouse.

We shift and race through our forest. We pass by the highway that isn't filled with cars yet and weave through the trees. Howls fly into the air as we run freely with the winter cold. The snow engulfs our paws.

As we reach the familiar grass clearing, I dive into the thick blanket of snow. My body rolls around on the cold, dormant grass, gathering the snow all over my fur. Jungkook follows me, nearly blending in with the snow.

Actually, he blends in tremendously. If I wasn't looking hard enough, I'd miss him laying in the snow. He bites at it, gathering some in his mouth and chewing on it. I release a bark-like noise as he tilts his head and perks his ears.

Our friends dive into the snow with us. They roll around and gather it on them. We're like kids, playing in the snow and attacking one another with it. My friends tackle me to the ground, growling playfully as they nip at my ankles and tail.

I growl, yelling at them in the mind-link as I push them off me and tackle them in return. We laugh into our connection and play around with one another as the sun turns the snow a vibrant orange color.

Then, we settle down for a bit, laying in the cold snow as we watch the sunrise. It paints the sky a beautiful orange and yellow color. It warms up the morning and makes us howl as we see it rise above the horizon.

Jungkook nuzzles into my side. His smaller wolf buries its face into his paws as his side rubs against mine. I can't help but adore how small and cute he is. I turn to my side as I nip his ear and let my paw rest over his back.

My tail entangles with his. We lay there, messing with one another and growling playfully. Jungkook nearly barks at me, eyes narrowing slightly as they flash their silver color. I growl too, licking his snout while he sneezes.

When the sun has officially risen entirely, we get back up. Exhaustion begins to hit us, but we run for a little while longer. We continue to gather the snow beneath our feet and leave our markings behind.

The snow begins to fall by the time we race back to the packhouse and shift back into our human forms. We raced inside, grabbing clothes we store at the entrance and changing quickly.

The music is gone and the house is a mess now. Balloons litter the ground along with streamers, confetti, and plastic cups. However, we're too tired to worry about it now.

We bid our friends a good night as Jungkook and I race up the stairs and into our bedroom. Rylee is there, laying peacefully on our bed in her cute little PJs. Jungkook smiles instantly.

He gently picks her up as he opens the covers to the bed and slips into the sheets, cuddling her next to him. My heart beats rapidly in my chest as my gaze softens and my stomach fills with butterflies.

He looks at me, flashing his bunny smile, and gently patting the side of the bed that I usually sleep on. With a content sigh, I close the curtains in our room and slip under the covers.

Rylee sleeps between us, her hands gripping our shirts with her cute little fists. I want to cry from how happy I am, but I manage to hold back as I stare at my beautiful Luna.

"So, you really planned the party?" He nods tiredly but still smiles. "I did. Of course, they helped me decorate and set up for the whole thing, but it was my idea." His eyebrows shoot up as if he remembered something and he instantly gets out of bed.

He walks over to our walk-in closet and grabs something from in there. When he emerges from the closet, he's holding something in his hands.

As I stare closer at it, I notice how it's a gift- a wrapped one. It's wrapped in a shiny wrapping paper that says Happy Birthday all over it. I smile, shaking my head as I sit upright and take the gift from his hands.

It's kind of heavy but not too heavy. He smiles, sitting on the bed with his legs crossed as he stares at me.

"Go ahead, open it!" I roll my eyes playfully but I do as he says. My fingers tear at the wrapping paper carefully, ripping it apart piece by piece.

When I finally get it off the gift, I pull the tissue paper off of it. My eyebrows furrow when I look at it. It looks like the back of a picture frame.

"Flip it over." He's bouncing on the bed, eyes flashing with excitement as he claps quietly. I do flip it over and my reaction is instant.

Tears well in my eyes as I stare at the picture from a few months ago. "Jungkook," I whisper breathlessly. He's grinning from ear to ear, head tilted to the side, and eyes squinted from his wide smile.

"I got it framed! You remember it, don't you?" I nod with a grin and teary eyes. How could I possibly forget about it?

It's a picture of Jungkook, myself, and Rylee. She's in my hold as I wrap an arm around Jungkook's waist and kiss his forehead lovingly. He has his eyes closed with a beautiful smile gracing his features. Rylee is reaching out for him, and she too is smiling.

"Jungkook, this is amazing. I love it." He claps loudly this time, nearly startling our baby girl. With a shy grin and flushed cheeks, he slumps and nods excitedly. "I wanted to give you something meaningful. I figured that picture was meaningful."

I pull him towards me, so much so that his legs straddle my own. My back is pressed up against the pillows we have on our bed as his chest presses to mine.

My lips collide with his in a passionate kiss. Our eyes shut and our lips move in sync as he releases a content whine. His arms wrap around my neck and my arms wrap around his waist.

I hold him against me like this, bathing in the love he gives me. He pulls away with a smile and a breathless giggle. "I love you, Kim Taehyung." My eyes light up and I cup his cheek gently.

"I love you too, Kim Jungkook. I love you so much, my Luna. My Angel." He leans into my touch, sighing contently. I pull him into me, my arms wrapping around him as I hug him tightly. He hugs me too, burying his face in my neck and kissing my mark gently.

I growl lowly, letting him lick and kiss at the sensitive spot on my neck. A groan leaves my lips as I tilt my head to the side and hold him close to me.

When he pulls away, I look at him and see him scoot to the end of the bed. "I have another little surprise for you." I cock an eyebrow but nod. He disappears into the bathroom, rummaging through something then walking out with his hands behind his back.

He extends his hands, showing me something wrapped in tissue paper. With furrowed eyebrows and a smile, I take it gently and begin to unwrap the tissue paper from the object.

However, when my gaze lands onto it, I feel my world freeze.

A pregnancy test.

And it's positive.

"Did you... you took a test?" He nods excitedly, jumping up and down as his hands fly down to his stomach. "I'm pregnant, Alpha!"

I laugh in disbelief, looking up from the test to my mate. He's bouncing up and down with excitement and I can't help but smile as tears fall down my cheeks.

"But how didn't I sense it earlier? How didn't I smell the scent change and hear the heartbeat?" He shows me his ankle where a bracelet wraps around it. As soon as he pulls it off, I smell his change in scent.

"Scent blockers. I asked your grandpa for some because I wanted to keep it a surprise for as long as I could! Plus, with the loud music that plays around here daily, it drowned out the sound of the baby's heartbeat." I pull him into me as my hands rest against his stomach.

He's barely even showing, but I do hear the heartbeat and smell the change. "I love you so much! We're having another pup, Angel!" He nods excitedly, arms thrown around my neck again.

We hug and kiss until, finally, our exhaustion gets the best of us. Jungkook is pulled towards me. His back is pressed against my chest. Rylee is cuddled into my Luna as he holds her against him, the pair falling asleep quickly.

I admire my baby girl and my husband, watching as their chests rise and fall in a steady manner. My smile returns as I let my fingers slide over Jungkook's tummy and cup it gently. Another pup.

He's pregnant with another pup.

I glance at the picture that rests on the nightstand and I smile even wider. As a tear rolls down my cheek, I bury my face in Jungkook's neck and let exhaustion consume me.

My husband is pregnant with another pup. We're adding to the family.

Our little family.
