The Forbidden Bond✅

✨EPILOGUE ✨

"Stay by my side, petal. Rule as the first equal to the Dragon King."

"As your... equal?"

"Yes, as our Dragon Queen and the Love of my Life."

Jungkook expects protests, fights even. But everyone bows deeper, firm in their resolve.

Taehyung awaits his answer, with honesty glinting in his eyes...

"Tae, Yes I'll be your Dragon Queen."

Taehyung's eyes light up. Through their renewed bond, Jungkook feels his heart race. 

"Yes?"

"Yes. I've spent my whole life so alone. I've had no freedom, known no kindness...But you've given me all of that and more"

Jungkook takes Taehyung's hand, interwining their fingers. 

"You've given me a purpose. Something to live for. You were brave enough to love me, tae."

"You were the brave one, petal." 

Taehyung pulls him into a sweeping kiss. 

Jungkook's mark flames to life, electric with his ecstasy. 

The crowd erupts in applause, bowing before them.

Dragons send fire into the air in celebration.

A week later, Jungkook finds himself roaming in the volcanic ruins of the Old place, preparing for another crowning. His crowning. 

"Today's the day, kookie. How do you feel?" 

"I can hardly wait, Jiminie Hyung."

"I can imagine. It's been a long time coming." 

"It really has."

Light spills in over the crumbling caste walls on the perfect, cloudless day. 

Jungkook breathes in the fresh, floral air. 

"How are things going on back home? Any word?"

"We've started construction on the town. Right at the base of the castle."

"Good. Now we all can live as one."

"Thanks to the dragons, our people hauled out the last of the rubble a few days ago."

"At this rate, a town twice the size of the last one will be built before we even return."

They both turn as Yoongi approaches. 

Jungkook feels Jimin blush when yoongi turns to him. 

Yoongi turns to Jungkook. 

"It's time, my highness."
