"Omega, come here now" Mrs Jeon screamed through the palace.

Jungkook heard the scream and he stopped mopping the floor. He leant the mop against the wall, out the way and ran downstairs.
"Y-yes mame" Jungkook bowed quickly.
"Stop being useless and go get our clothes from the shop in the kingdom. Make sure you wear your mask" she demanded.
"Yes mame, straight away" Jungkook said bowing to her one more time and rushing out the palace.
He ran across the palace gardens and ran to his horse which was tied up in a shed. The horse wasn't allowed near the royal horses. The Queen forbid it so he had to put it in the shed and he would look after it everyday when he had the free time.

He saw the beautiful white horse and smiled brightly.
"Hey Pearl, how are you beautiful?" Jungkook chimed softly, pressing his head on the horses nose.

Pear was a Andalusian horse. She was pure white, with black eyes. The mane had soft waves, which matched her tail. She was big, but not as big as the rest of the royal horses. Jungkook grabbed the mask he wore when he'd go into the kingdom. He saddled the horse up and got onto her without hurting her.
"Okay beauty lets go to the kingdom" Jungkook whispered and they went away from the palace.

He walked through the kingdom and heard a few mutters from the villagers.
"I heard the royals have been invited to the Kim's ball! Even Prince Jungkook" they gasped.
"Really, I thought he was dead at this point. I haven't seen the jerk since the coronation" she rolled her eyes.
Jungkook coughed and kept riding. He couldn't say anything, nor could he do anything. He tried to ignore the nasty comments, but he felt a pang at his chest. He shook his head softly and carried on his journey and picked up the outfits.

He made his way back to the palace and ran to his so called mother.
"Fucking finally, the ball is tonight and you've left me with 2 hours to get ready! I've left your clothes on the floor for you in your room" she smirked.
"T-thank you mame"
"yes now go make yourself somewhat presentable please, I don't want you screwing everything up" she growled, showing her grey eyes.
Jungkook's blue eyes flickered as he obeyed and whimpered.

He ran off after being dismissed and ran down  the long winded stair case, till he finally got to the bottom. He opened the huge, metal gate and walked in to his cold empty, dungeon which he called his room. He had a mattress on the floor with one blanket and a towel as a pillow. He had his couple of outfits in the corner laying on the ground as he had no wardrobe. The room had no windows and was forever dripping water.

He looked over and noticed the clothes which the Queen was talking about. He began putting the clothes on, which you could easily see they've been worn before, not only that they were much larger than him. As his brother has a much larger frame than him. He slipped on the clothes and brushed the clothes down to get the dust off. He was wearing and white long sleeve shirt which was longer than his arms. The sleeves were cuffed at the end. It had some lace over the top, with small buttons going down the chest. There was a pair of black skinny trousers which again were slightly loose so he paired it with a delicate belt

Jungkook sprayed himself with the special spray before leaving his dungeon and ran upstairs to leave with his 'family'.

...

Taehyung walked down the corridor, looking around as workers rush back and forth holding different items to decorate the ballroom. Taehyung walked his way to the ballroom and looked in. He was stunned, the ballroom was beautiful. They rarely had balls, so Taehyung was somewhat excited, as well as very nervous. Today would decide whether he would either find his mate, or find someone completely random.

"Taehyung dear, you should be getting ready, not looking at the ballroom" Taehyung's mother gasped seeing her son at the top of the stairs.
"Sorry mother, I just wanted to see how the preparations were coming along" Taehyung smiled.
"It's beautiful isn't it" she smiled, her eyes gazing over the huge ballroom, which was brightly lit perfectly, rubbing the bottom of her neck gently.
"Indeed it is, it's wonderful" Taehyung sighed softly.
They both took the moment in for a while till his mother realised it was only a few hours till the ball began.
"Now go, go get suited up" She nudged her son with a small laugh, trying to hold in a cough.
"Yes, you too, you will look beautiful mother" Taehyung said with his body, charming smile.
"I know I will, now let's go. I'll see you soon" she winked before walking off gracefully, with Taehyung going to his bed quarters in the opposite direction.

Taehyung arrived at his room, and walked in, shutting the door behind him. His suit was hung up in his walk in wardrobe, which he grabbed and placed on his bed.

He finished getting dressed and looked at himself in the mirror. He was wearing a smart black suit with a white dress shirt underneath. He paired it was a black belt which hugged his chest. He used some very light make up around his eyes, and skin to make him more presentable as the heir to the thrown.

He looked at himself one last time. He could already hear loud laughs coming from the floor below. The ball had started and Taehyung could feel his stomach churning. He was more nervous than he thought. Tonight was life changing. Either way he would be ending the night with a significant other, mate or not, he'll have someone. That terrified the alpha. He was ready to love someone, but as long as they were compatible.

Mates are destined for one another. Mates were chosen by the moon goddess for specific reasons. So if he doesn't end up finding his mate tonight it will cause physical pain to both wolves, which Taehyung didn't want. He wanted to love his mate, not forcefully love someone else.

So Taehyung prayed to the moon goddess, for he first time he was actually asking for a favour. He only hoped that this favour would come true.
