Summary: Seokjin hides his vampire identity in a sleepy town as a restaurateur. He spends his time living off animals and creating to die for meals until a new handsome face comes to town. Like the moon loves the sky, there is an instant attraction, but Seokjin may be too much.
đđđ¤đŠ¸đ¤đđ
Living as a modern-day vampire is simple and fun. Nowadays, no one cares if youâre a vampire as long as youâre not trying to kill them. They also donât want to see or hear about how I satiate my hunger. My body has adapted to being in the sun and living off more than just human blood. My powers have weakened some, but I can still use my levitation and greater strength whenever I need. I donât use them too often because I want to fit in and act as human as possible.
Becoming a butcher in disguise at a trendy eatery is my most clever façade yet. Kosmos, nestled between plenty of pretty coffee and pastry cafes, is my haven, so to speak, my safe place where I can fit in with the crowd. A delicatessen with a condo above it, a rooftop deck, and a large garden in the back. I found this sleepy but safe town along the Baltic Sea when I fled my last city from vampire hunters. I quickly became named the most handsome man with a sleek and classy aesthetic delicatessen, where I sell sliced meats and creative dishes.Â
Human blood became boring to me ages ago. The hunt for wild animals is much more thrilling but also has much less risk than hunting humans. I tame my violet eyes by thriving off animal blood, something Iâve been doing longer than I can remember. In the restaurant, I can slaughter and cook the most exquisite meals, satiating my deepest cravings. I only open Kosmos four days a week, staying open well into the late hours and spending the other evenings hunting and experimenting with new dishes.Â
Tonight is busier than usual. In an effort to liven up the area, the town council brought in a new art gallery, and from the talks of everyone, thereâs a fetching curator as well. Kosmos happens to be the closest eatery, drawing many patrons in after theyâve visited the gallery. The artwork descriptions are fascinating, but the person they describe sounds much more intriguing. Tall, broad, drop-dead dapper; all words Iâve only heard folks using on myself. I'm a bit jealous of all the attention this new curator is getting, so I must see him for myself.
Instead of my usual day hunting, I decide to take a gander at the art gallery. Everyone is correct. The tall, burly man that greets the guests is devastatingly beautiful. I am possessed by his loveliness which leads me to spend countless days taking peeks from the sidewalk inside the small space through the large Crittall-style window. The art keeps the people busy enough not to notice me lurking day after day.Â
Tonight, out of curiosity, I follow the new man. He rides a bicycle slowly and seems to enjoy the small-town views. With earbuds, he hums along to a tune I cannot hear. His apartment building is nice. A stunning yellow two-story home with dark accents and a maroon roof aside a cobblestone path. Outside of the front door, somehow within the cracks of the stones, are robust red flower bushes that rest along the house perimeter.
I perch myself on the roof of the home across the street and have a perfect view of this gorgeous man. I watch as he relaxes with a glass of whiskey and reads a book until heâs cleaning up and going upstairs. A bedroom light shines dimly through the upstairs window, completely unobscured. I stare as he undresses, removing his clothing, rough and messy, and tossing them onto the floor. As he turns off the light and lies in bed, the moon casts a perfect glow onto his silhouette. His chest slowly rising and falling is soothing.Â
So soothing that time passes too quickly, and before I know it, the sun is rising. Today, I will make my existence known and visit this dreamy man at his gallery. Slowly but surely, I will make him fall in love with me and want to live eternally by my side.Â
When I arrive at the art gallery, the man is occupied with a few guests, so I walk around aimlessly. Black hair compliments his warm honey skin under a white shirt tucked into cream slacks. While conversing with others, his dimples shoot daggers into hearts, and his deep voice soothes the sharp pain.Â
âHello, Iâm Namjoon,â his deep voice boasts. As if I havenât been watching his every move, I feign startled when he arrives by my side. His chocolate eyes pierce my dead soul within seconds.
âSeokjin,â I reply, flashing my sultry grin while extending my hand to grasp his in a handshake. His scent is warm and invitingâŚa soft rose with a hint of jasmine, something I now wish to smell endlessly.
âWhat do you think? These are ones Iâve collected over the years.â
âIâm not much on art⌠just wanted to check out the newest talk of the town.â My eyes roam his tall, brawny frame, and a subtle blush blooms on his cheeks.
âThere are no right or wrong answers when it comes to art,â Namjoon says while placing a hand on my shoulder and guiding me to another piece. âThis one is by Yun Hyong-keun. Inspired by nature, he combined colors like those of earth and water tones. He would spread the pigments over days, weeks, or even months to create intense darkness, implicative of the hardships he endured.âÂ
Not only is this man beautiful, but he is also intelligent. His eyes gleam as he speaks of the artist.Â
âYou got all that from looking at a painting?â Namjoon chuckles at my ignorance. âDo you do any painting yourself?â His eyes turn dark, and it looks like heâs deep in thought when he finally responds with a side grin. He nods his head to a side door and begins walking toward it, so I follow.
Namjoon slides the door open, holding it for me to pass through, and then closes it behind us. The dark room has a few paintings with a single dim spotlight casting over each piece.Â
âThese are my personal works,â Namjoon says.
There arenât many colors, all gray, black, and red. A deep vibrant red. He tells me about a few of the pieces. The first one is like a window; two large black rectangles enclosed by a thick, vivid scarlet border. Hazy with muddy edges where the colors bleed together. Thereâs another canvas with a frail, ghostly white being against a black background smeared in red hues. At first glance, one may perceive that itâs a dress, but I see blood pouring over the body. Both are labeled as âUntitledâ.
My favorite, though⌠displays interesting shadowy woods. The smudging of the paint looks like thick fog around grayish tree trunks. Whatâs fascinating is the leaves are clusters of red dots, bright and burgundy shades, creating a beautiful depth while also looking like blood splatter.Â
I listen intently as Namjoon explains his art. Aside from his brawns and brains, his voice is hypnotic. I find myself stuck watching his mouth, his tongue bouncing around, forming each word perfectly. I subconsciously draw my bottom lip between my teeth, concentrating on his alluring mouth.
âYouâre quite handsome; you know that?â Namjoon speaks, breaking me from my thoughts.
âI know, I never get old.â I wink, and Namjoon chuckles, clearly amused by my antics.
âWould youâŚmaybe⌠like to spend more time together?â Namjoon asks, and I find the shyness of his words endearing.Â
âIâd love that.â I reach for his hands and rub my thumbs over his knuckles. Namjoon notes my touch is cold but never pulls away. I know my heart would be shaking in my chest if it still beat, but it sits frozen in my ribcage as it has for centuries.
đđđ¤đŠ¸đ¤đđ
For our first date, we meet at a coffee shop. Quaint, relaxed, and the most refreshing iced Americanos. We both wear our version of casual attire. Namjoonâs slate-gray t-shirt is devilishly low, the v-cut plunging between his perky chesticles, hugging his biceps tightly. My eyes drift, following the curves he has on display; I donât care if I get caught, either. The conversation is easy, steady. Small talk and casual getting to know each other. My mind is set on one thingâŚmaking him my loverâŚmy forever, in just three lunar phases. I just need to tell him Iâm a vampire.
On the next date, we take a stroll through architecture-filled historical sites and gardens with maps and pamphlets in one hand and our other hands busy with interlocked fingers. If my cold hands ever bother him, he never mentions it. We steal glances of each other every second we can. Here in the botanical garden, surrounded by lush trees with leafy branches, the weather is perfect, and flowers are in full bloom. Next to a pond is a gazebo where we find a bench to rest and hold hands. Listening to the birds sing around us, we talk and learn more about each other. I decide to tell him about my uniqueness.Â
âThereâs something I need to tell you, and I really hope it doesnât scare you away.â
Namjoon turns toward me, giving his full attention.
âIâm just going to say it⌠no sugar coating⌠noââ
âJust say it,â Namjoon interrupts, his eyes frantically searching for clues as his heartbeat speeds up.
âI-- Iâm-- a vampire.â I wince at the words shutting my eyes tight. When I hear no sounds, I peek through my eyelids, confronted by dimples. âIâm serious, Namjoon. I shouldâve told you sooner, butââ My words are cut off by Namjoonâs finger delicately placed on my lips.
âCan I say I kind of knew?â
Confused, I reply, âYou⌠knew?â
âYour skin is perfect porcelain, and you have the coldest touch. You dress more dapper than most our age. Iâve seen your violet eyes⌠and donât get me started on your very interesting butcher hobby. Need I say more?â
âAnd thatâŚnone of that scared you away?â
Namjoon tightens his hands around mine. âIâve never felt more smittenâŚmore ensnared to a person like I am with you. A vampire, a wolf, or a bearâŚIâd still find you insanely attractive, and dare I say, Iâd love you the same.â
âLove?â I feel like Iâm hearing things, Namjoon really loves me already. âWeâre like two volcanoes talking together then.âÂ
Namjoon scrunches his eyebrows. âWhat?â
âI lava you, too.â After we both laugh like windshield wipers on dry glass, I lean in and kiss his cheek. A huge weight lifted from my shoulders; now I know he will spend forever with me.Â
đđđ¤đŠ¸đ¤đđ
I plan our third date wisely. I am yearning to be close to him, so we go to the Forest of Wisdom, an hourâs drive with thoughtful conversation and getting to know more about each other. He tells me heâs always been fascinated with vampires and their abilities. Much as to why his art is mostly black and red, aligning with my original impression of blood splatter. To my surprise, he has a vast knowledge and is very calm talking about vampires. Namjoon and I find seats on the floor, and he reads me a book of poems with our shoulders pressed together.
âAh this one, by Alexandra VasiliuâŚâI want to bloom in your arms like the moon blooms in the nightâs arms.â I love that.â
I stare at his chestnut orbs, reading over the words in a loop, watching his eyebrows furrow while heâs lost in thought. I look to the next page and read, ââIf I were the moon, I would want you to be my sky.â Namjoon, I think I shall call you my moon.â
âIâd like that,â Namjoon coos, snuggling into my side.
Quickly Iâm learning Namjoonâs pleasures. He enjoys touch, and I feel his infatuation grow as he sneaks light touches in disguise of picking or brushing lint balls off my shirt. I catch him staring quite often, obviously entranced by my ethereal beauty.
On the way back, seated in the car, his baggy shorts hike up to his mid-thigh. With one hand on the steering wheel and the other on his thigh, I move his shorts upward a bit more and feel his warmth under my icy palm. He shivers but places his hand on top of mine, keeping me there.
đđđ¤đŠ¸đ¤đđ
Tonight, Namjoon wants to try cooking, making something delicious together. This, Iâm a master at. I close Kosmos for the night and teach him everything I know. He brought an expensive bottle of whiskey that we share most of the night, and I show him different techniques with knives. I leave him to cut an onion and carrot while I whisk the sauce; things happen so quickly I canât remember the order in which they occur. A thud and a gasp from Namjoon, and then a smell that overwhelms my senses. My eyes flash violet, and I am next to Namjoon within seconds. I reach for his hand and bring it to my mouth, letting the droplets of blood fall on my tongue. He tastes like syrupy butterscotch. My eyes roll to the back of my head as a growl escapes my throat.
Fangs threatening to appear, I pull his hand away and pull him into me, close. âAre you okay, my moon?â
He pulls away and studies my eyes. âKiss me,â he whispers.
Confused, I stay still, but his lips crash into mine. My cock throbs as he explores my mouth with his tongue, giving me a taste of his whiskey breath, a mixture of barley and vanilla.
âLet me get you upstairs to tend to your cut.â I lead him to the stairs up into my home and sit him on the couch while I go to get the first aid kit. I dab some ointment on and place a band-aid over the cut. Namjoon places a hand behind my head and brings me into another kiss that I canât resist. Who would want to?Â
He moans into my mouth before breaking the kiss, âThat was fucking hot⌠the way you licked my wound.â
I sit back against the couch. Carefully watching this mountain of a man remove his shirt and press his body into mine. My eyebrows arch at his boldness.
âYour heart is racing,â I note while tracing my hand over his chest, riling goosebumps.
âDo you want to taste more?â Namjoon mewls, pecking my lips fiercely.
âWhat are you suggesting?â
âYou like blood, and I have what you like. Iâll try new things⌠for you.â Namjoonâs eyes long for acceptance. Who am I to turn away his desire to please me? Especially if it lets me taste his saccharine blood again.
My breath gets caught in my throat, admiring his body as he tilts his head to the side to expose his neck. He leans closer and deeply whispers, âBite me.â
My head spins at the words, lips barely brushing his skin as one of his hands firmly grips my inner thigh. The pounding of his heart sends shock waves through my body, and my cock strains against my pants. Namjoon eagerly climbs into my lap and entangles his fingers in my hair, yanking my head back to make eye contact.
âI donât want to hurt you; a bite is painful,â I warn, giving Namjoon a chance to change his mind.
âPain is pleasure, Seokjin. Do it. Bite me.â
I smirk, lick my lips, and dig my frosty fingers into his waist before pushing my mouth onto his plump lips. I trail my tongue to his neck and suck for a moment before my fangs appear and scrape against his skin. One moan from Namjoon and my fangs sink into his skin like a warm knife through butter. My eyes loll with ecstasy flowing through my body.
âAh, fuck,â Namjoon groans, and his body squirms in discomfort. But as I swallow a tongue-full of blood, I withdraw my fangs and soothe the painful punctures. I suck again, grunting when his hips grind down on mine, hissing into his neck at the touch of his clothed bulge against mine. His soft whines turn me on further, lost in his soul as I take more blood, coating every crevice of my mouth. Human blood has never tasted this good; I need to control myself.
I feel blood dribble down my chin, and I pull away from him, fascinated by the maroon rivulets that flow down his neck toward his chest. Iâve never seen anything more erotic than him dripping with blood, lips turned in a pout, and asking for more. I watch, amused, as blood trickles down to his nipple, begging for my mouth. Latching onto him, I gently suck his nipple into my mouth and then lick up the blood trail, my tongue grazing his skin back up to the puncture marks. The marks will heal before the night ends, leaving just a bruise.
âSeokjin,â my name plummets from his lips in a soft gasp, his hips bucking into mine. âTouch me,â Namjoon pleads. His thumb runs over my lip to collect stray blood before pushing his thumb into my mouth. I suck on his thumb and pull from it, making a popping sound, then move my hands to his waist. He stands while I tug his pants and briefs off. He tugs at my pants, and I lift my hips off the couch as he eases them to my knees, my aching cock hitting my stomach.
Namjoon straddles me again, licks his lips, and presses his plush lips into mine. I kiss him back, moaning when he nips my bottom lip, tongue tangling with his as he deepens the kiss. His large hands grip my shoulders as he slides his cock against mine and rests his forehead on my shoulder. I fight the urge to sink my teeth into him again.
I fuck my cock against Namjoonâs, swipe my hand over our tips, and spread the precum over our shafts, squeezing them both with one hand. It doesnât cover us both, but itâs enough friction to feel good, too good. I stroke us at various paces until Namjoonâs body tenses. I can feel heâs ready to burst.
âCum all over me, paint my stomach,â I encourage him with my tongue in his mouth. Namjoon shakes, and hot cum spurts onto my stomach. He lowers his head and sinks his teeth into my shoulder as he rides out his high, hips stuttering and starting to slow.
His bite sends me over the edge, and I groan as my cum explodes and mixes with his. He deepens another kiss, pressing his body into the stickiness between us. We stay like this until our breathing slows, caressing each other. Namjoon sighs and grabs his shirt, wiping us off and cleaning my stomach.
âWe should do this again sometime,â Namjoon praises before climbing off me and finding his clothes.
âStay,â I say, a little more pleading than I intend. Namjoon smiles and drops his clothes back to their place on the floor.
đđđ¤đŠ¸đ¤đđ
The next morning, when I come back from my hunting, Namjoon is gone. I go to his home and find my place on the roof across the street and watch him through the window. This time, heâs painting. A black and gray scheme with a walking path between rocky hills and skinny bare trees. He dips his brush in red and paints a huge circle in the middle, a blood moon. Then heâs back to black, stroking lines into a figure of a person with a cape blowing in the wind. The finishing touch, thoughâŚIâm not sure what to make of it. He dips his brush in the white and creates a sword in the personâs hand. An individual with a silver-looking sword walking toward a blood moon.
I donât think Namjoon knows or understands what the meaning of a blood moon is for vampires. My desire for blood is boosted times a thousand, which usually causes conflict for my kind. People become more aware of vampire existence during the blood moon, and therefore I, as well as others, are faced with imminent threats and conflicts.
Iâll tuck this in the back of my mind for a later conversation because, again, the time has quickly passed, and the sun is setting. On my way back to my place, a great idea sparks my mind to have Namjoon willingly agree to be my eternal lover. He loves plants and the outdoors, so I will create a garden for him. Something he can look forward to maintaining for all eternity.Â
In between spending time with Namjoon, I spend the next few weeks preparing, finding, and importing exotic, fully bloomed night flowers and plants for a moon garden where I will confess my love and propose an immortal life together. Purple fountain grass that rustles in the breeze. Plenty of flowers to shine under the moonlight like the fragrant iceberg rose, giving off fruit and honey scents. White wonder caladium with its green edges and pink veins throughout the white leaf. Clusters of phlox, jasmine, and moon flowers with their lemony perfume.Â
I use pebbles and white marble chips to create a crescent design on the ground. A small waterfall provides the soothing sound of running water and reflects the moonlight. In the middle of it all, a makeshift bed with comforters and pillows. This is where I will ask Namjoon to be my eternal lover and hear him beg me to turn him into an immortal like me. Here is where we will confess our love and be one with each other for time without end. I even set up an easel with a canvas and all the art supplies he could possibly need to paint boundless pictures of the garden.
Namjoon arrives for our evening together dressed casually elegant. A loose-fitting cream, cashmere sweater with a polo neck paired with black weaved leather pants. His style puts mine to shame with my white satin button-down shirt tucked liberally into black slacks. After sharing a meal and tender touches, I tell him I have a surprise. Iâm nervous and have to hide my shaking hands as I blindfold him and take his hand, carefully guiding him outside into the garden I created out of love. I remove his blindfold, and he inhales sharply. While he takes in every detail, I watch the stars twinkle in his coffee-colored eyes.Â
âA moon garden⌠for my moon.â I point to the area with the painting supplies and then shove my hands in my pockets, âand all the things for you to let out your creativity.â Waiting for his response, my stomach flips, thinking how close I am to spending an eternity with him.
âIt's ethereal and perfect, just like you.â Namjoon kisses me deeply, holding the back of my head with one hand. Pulling away, he murmurs, âI love it.âÂ
I slot my lips with his and suck his lower lip between my teeth; feeling greedy, I declare, "I want to ruin you and make you mine for eternity." My brain short-circuits, and all subtleness is out the door. Namjoon tenses, then he simply grins at the statement.
âRuin me, Seokjin,â he whimpers.
Namjoon glows under the full moon, and I am eager to make him mine. Standing next to the garden bed, I trace my hands along his mountainous ridges. I listen to his coos and swallow them as they escape from his throat. We tear at each other's pants, and he tugs roughly on my blouse, sending buttons soaring in opposite directions. I moan in response to both his passion and his palm caressing my confined cock. Free of our imprisonments, I lower him onto the blankets, surrounded by pillows.Â
Namjoonâs eyebrows rise for a quick second before relaxing again. âYour eyes, theyâre exquisite.â I drop my head to his neck, acting shy of his compliment, and sprinkle his skin with kisses. Is this when I ask him? No, not yet.
I feel Namjoon reaching for something, so I glance toward his hand. Heâs pulling a bottle of lube from his pants pocket. I look into his eyes and wait for him to say something.
âRuin me. Bite me. Make me yours.â Namjoonâs words have blood rushing to my cock, and I rut against his rock-hard thigh.Â
âYour wish is my desire.â
âWhat are you? A genie?âÂ
I drench my fingers along with Namjoon's hole with the lube. Carefully, I push one finger past his rim, taking my time to loosen him up for me, showering him with gentle kisses... for now. "Is this okay?" I ask while dragging my teeth over his prickled skin.
"More, Seokjin, please," his whine spirals into my ear, sending a thrill down my spine. I insert another finger, praising him with words and soft suckles along his neck. I linger over his vein, letting it pulsate on my tongue. The throbbing on my tongue excites me more, and my hips rock, pushing my swelling cock into his leg again.
"More," he breathes.Â
"My moon. You're so good for me," I moan low and soothe his tense body with my lips.
âBite me, Seokjin, please. I need moreââ his words are cut off by his moans.
âAre you sure?â
âYes, pleaseâŚâ he begs continuously, almost in tears. I gaze at his bodyâs slight movements, his chest heaving, before I sink my fangs into his succulent neck. His butterscotch blood fills my mouth immediately, and Namjoon hisses as I swallow. I pump my fingers quicker, scissoring them as I swallow more nectar.
"I'm ready, please. I can't wait any longer."
I pull away, hide my fangs and drown myself in more lube. I watch his blood trail onto his shoulder and slowly press my girth into him. His sounds, oh his sounds. If I didn't have centuries of self-control, I would've cum already.
"Seokjinâahâ you're sâso big. Goâahâslow, please, please, please, slow," Namjoon begs as his body writhes underneath me.
Slowly, my cock bottoms out inside Namjoon, and I pause, allowing him to breathe through it. I press my lips on his and use my tongue to part his lips, tangling our tongues, numbing his mind from the sting of the stretch.
"So good, my moon. You're doing so so good." My cock throbs inside his tight muscle. "Mmmm, can you feel that?" I subtly move my hips and swallow each mewl he makes. I pull my face away and look into his eyes as I drag my cock slowly out of him and push back in a little quicker. His glassy eyes flutter, and I raise my hand to his cheek, brushing away a single tear with my thumb. "Shhh, it's going to feel so good. I promise."
The garden fills with moans and pants as I drag my cock slowly against Namjoon's walls, licking from his collarbone to his shoulder, getting every last drop. I cage his head with my arms and quicken my pace, watching and feeling how his body reacts to me. He ruts his cock against my stomach, seeking any kind of friction.
"Fuck. Yes, like that," Namjoon moans, his back arching off the makeshift bed of blankets. His ass swallows my cock so deliciously; itâs a torturous pleasure.
I rise to my knees, unsheathing myself, and a whimper escapes Namjoon's lips. I pull his hips to my waist, and his shoulder blades rest on the ground. I maneuver a pillow under his hips before turning my attention to his raging pink cock with pre-cum that glistens in the moonlight. I spit in my hand, then caress his thick length, smearing it around and mixing it with his fluids. His body shakes with pleasure, all for my eyes. I take my other hand and squeeze his throat before following his perfectly sculpted lines down his chest and to his abs. I abandon the lube and align myself with his hole, entering slowly and as deep as I can.
Namjoon rasps a deep, stuttered moan as he pushes his ass into me. I stroke his cock rhythmically with my thrusts until he releases his warm arousal onto my hand and all over his stomach. I slow, only to finish depleting his every last drop, then press my hand firmly against his stomach, smearing the sticky substance. He smells of jasmine and honey, like the flowers around us, I immediately want to taste it.Â
I bring my hand to my mouth and lick his remnants, growling in pleasure. This excites Namjoon, and he clenches around my cock. I gasp and feel my cock twitch inside him. The moonlight highlights every bead of sweat on Namjoon's torso as I pump furiously inside him. His accentuated plump veins and arteries, with his breathless sobs, are the push I need to find my release. Head falling back, I roll over the edge and fill him with my release. My body crumbles on top of him, and I slow my hips milking my cock to completion. I place my arms on either side of his head, soaking in his beauty, feeling drunk on love.Â
I kiss him wildly and then lazily lift myself and roll to his side as he wraps his arms around me. I run my hand over Namjoon's hair and tuck it behind his ear, basking in an afterglow.
But as we lock eyes, I sense something is off with my love. Heâs next to me but seems so far away. My chest tightens.
âEverythingâŚokay?â
âWhy did you do all this for me? This garden with beautiful plants and a perfect view under the moon?â
âBecause I love you, Namjoon. I want to be with you forever and make you the happiestââ I didnât want to ask him to be my immortal partner this way, laying next to each other, naked, half covered in blankets.
âHappiest⌠what?âÂ
âWell, you already know so much about vampires, and you seem really fascinated with them, so IâI donât know. I was hoping youâd maybe want to be one⌠with me.â
Namjoonâs lips move, but no words come out.Â
âHave you ever thought about what itâd be like?â I ask, trying to pry words from him.
âNo,â he answers quickly.
âOhâokayâŚWhâwhat about being with me? For good?â
âWhy couldnât I stay human?â Namjoon abruptly sits up and grabs for his clothes. Dressing frantically while I rush to do the same.
âI mean, I just thought we could be togetherâŚendlessly. It would hurt too much to watch you age and leave me.â
âI donât want to give up my human life,â Namjoon nearly whispers, and I can feel the uncertainty of the future weighing heavily on his mind.
âWhy? What can be better than eternal life with me? Your true love?â
âIâI want to experience lifeâŚI donât want to be stuck here foreverâŚâ Namjoon sputters.Â
âBut you can see the world. Every country, every food, enjoy owning the rarest items or plantsâŚâ I try to reason with him, calm his worries even.
âI donât want to survive off blood and watch the world pass me by!â Namjoon yells, and the blood Iâve stored in my body begins to boil. My eyes feel different, I can feel them change, but itâs not the same. âYour eyes, theyâre a reddish tint.â
My anger boils through my limbs, and I lurch toward Namjoon. He runs behind the easel and picks up a paintbrush, angling the handle toward me like he wants to stab me. âStop! Donât come any closer!â Namjoon shouts, trying to keep me at bay.
âIâll have you, no matter what!âÂ
I use my power and conquer him, sinking my fangs into his neck, this time, not letting go. My entire strength is used to subdue him and drink his blood. The difference is I donât stop. Not until I feel a cold, black cloud surround me. I drank just enough to leave Namjoon alive but unconscious next to me. I bite my wrist and open his mouth, squeezing drops of my blood into his mouth and coax his throat to help him swallow.
I have never wanted anyone this badly; this is the only way that will make him stay with me forever. I kiss his lips and lay patiently by his side, awaiting my new eternal lover to awaken to our new life.

Meet vampire Seokjin! Their beauty is beyond captivating to all that look upon them. With galaxies swirling in their eyes, the sweet and tempting one-toothed vampire lures the warm-blooded in for a tarot reading or a gaze into the crystal ball.
If they are of pure heart, Seokjin will tell them something sweet and send them on their way, but if they do not meet Seokjinâs standards, then they have no problem relieving the idiot from the contents of their purse⌠or their lifeâs blood if it comes to that.
This will be on my website for sell in August!

Hello my loves! For those who do not know me from Trouvaille, this is Dana! I am very pleased and excited to share this brand-new series with you. It has been a longtime desire of mine to write a story with vampires. Sanctity was born from a love of history and a past with yandere stories. I sincerely hope you enjoy this first chapter and the love that was poured into it!
WARNING! There are instances of gore, including cutting. Suicidal language is used, so please be warned if this is triggering to you.
Next Chapter
The bell struck six in the crumbling belltower, two young men in white robes pulling on the rope to swing the massive metal fixture to and fro. The haunting sound sent a murder of crows scattering across the steadily darkening sky when they were startled from their perches on the Sanctuaryâs roof. Y/N peered out of the arched window curiously, halting her task of wiping down the glass with an old, weathered rag, distant yearning filling her as she watched the black birds fly away to the greater unknown.Â
âY/N, itâs time to wash up for dinner,â Meredith, a fellow âacolyteâ and friend, reminded her, setting aside the wooden broom she was using to sweep the hallway they were working in.Â
Suppressing an agitated grunt, Y/N simply nodded, rising from her knees and adjusting the cream linen skirt she was wearing, the hem of it dirtied from skimming the old stone floors all day. Following the blonde girl, the wispy curls on her nape appeared silver in the darkened, wintery hallways, Y/N wondered when the Sanctuary would allow them to light the sconces in the frigid building so the acolytes wouldnât be numb and stiff by the end of the unforgiving November evenings. Not that the wardens actually cared one way or another if the acolytes were cold, as long as they were alive, blood still running through their veins, resources wouldnât be wasted on a few paltry fires.Â
âYou know, electricity exists. Doesnât it bother you that weâre forced to live like fucking peasants during the Black Plague?â Y/N seethed, Meredithâs posture growing stiff as she nervously looked around. Not a soul was in the hallway with them, so Y/N rolled her eyes at the blondeâs haughty reaction. âRelax, Mere. No oneâs around.â
âYou shouldnât swear, Y/N. Theyâll punish you,â Meredith whispered, her angelic blue eyes wide with concern. Y/N scoffed, her aching fingers curling into fists as they continued their way to the dining hall.Â
âWorking all day for nothing is punishment enough. Whatâs the prize? Becoming a walking transfusion one day?â Y/N, despite her agitation, lowered her voice when Meredith began to look truly frightened. âIâm sorry, Mere. There arenât any vampires here, you know that, right?â
âOf course I do. They never come on Sanctuary grounds. I wish to continue being your friend, Y/N, but I do not wish to invite punishment onto myself,â Meredith swallowed, looking a touch guilty. âIâll meet you at the table.â
Y/N sighed, watching the girl spirit away, a flurry of white skirts and matching billowy blouses. After so many years spent in the Sanctuary, Y/N realized she shouldnât be as bitter as she was, but the winter months brought out the aching in her.Â
âTalks like a fuckinâ walking pamphlet,â Y/N muttered, heading straight to the large basins lining the outskirts of the dining hall, cringing at the icy water that came from the taps as she scrubbed at her dirty fingernails.
At the very least, the dining hall was one of the warmest sections of the Sanctuary, thanks to the heat from the kitchens and the singular fire roaring in a brazier placed in the center of the room. The Sanctuary, free of 21st century comforts, was always crusted in ice in the winters and stiflingly hot in the summers. Sniffing the air, Y/N tried not to frownâ food from the Sanctuaryâs kitchens were never very tasty, even if she was often starving enough to eat a leather boot at the end of a dayâs work.Â
âWhatâs tonightâs mystery meat?â Y/N got in line, retrieving a tray for herself, and leaning up to whisper her joke into her other friend Josephâs ear. Unlike Meredith, the dark haired man snorted, mirth flashing in his eyes.Â
âOh, the usuals. Beef organs or tuna. Paired with lentil slop, shitty kale salad, maybe a sweet potato if weâre lucky. Donât forget the out-of-season orange and singular square of dark chocolate for dessert, too!âÂ
This time, Y/N did not hold back her light groan, startling a timid acolyte in front of her and Joseph, the girl dropping her hardened, âfortifiedâ bread roll onto the counter. Both her and Joseph bowing in apology slightly while they contained their snickering, Y/N shuddering when a slimy piece of beef liver was slapped onto her plate by a kitchen acolyte.Â
âI canât take these organs anymore. Why canât we have a steak? Steak is rich in iron,â Y/N sat beside Joseph at one of the long tables, her ass smarting against the stone bench. Meredith, across from her, eyed her carefully, using her spoon to push mushy lentils around on her plate.Â
âYouâve been eating organs for ten years now, squirt, arenât you fond of them by now?â Joseph teased, prodding at the gory looking organs on his own plate with a fork.Â
âFor once, I just want a bowl of pasta. I mean, come on, vampires eat the best food in the world, and they donât even need it to survive. Just pure hedonism,â Y/N continued, peeling the orange that came with her dinner considering everything else on the tray looked absolutely revolting.Â
Every meal served to the acolytes in the Sanctuary was required to be chock-full of ingredients with an abundance of iron and Vitamin C, allegedly making their blood more nutritious and appetizing to vampires. So, in order for vampires to eat like kings, mere human acolytes ate like cavemen.Â
âYouâre especially salty this evening,â Joseph remarked, a flicker of surprise flashing over his face. Meredith had ironically grown quite pale, considering the supposed iron-rich meal she was eating should have had a glow rising to her cheeks. âMake sure none of the wardens walk by while youâre still on your soapbox.â
âYou can hear their boots from a mile away, Iâll shut up well before theyâre in earshot,â Y/N pinched her nose as she stuffed some lentils down her throat so she wouldnât have to taste the foul mush. âIâll stop now, donât wanna upset you, Mere.â
âThank you,â Meredith murmured quietly, her eyes softening. Y/N knew that Meredith understood where she was coming from, but complaining about their situations did nothing to get them out of it, in the end. âWhen weâre back in our dorm⌠itâll be okay.â
Nodding, Y/Nâs lower eyelid twitched at the thought of her bedâ hard as a rock and no better than a bale of hay to sleep on, but kept her promise and changed the subject promptly.Â
âWhat was your task today, Joey?âÂ
âUgh. Joey,â Joseph shivered, nudging Y/N with his elbow. âThe usual. Raking dead leaves and preparing the garden for the snow.â
âItâs going to be a cold winter,â Meredith remarked, her gaze turning to the stained-glass windows overlooking a frosty courtyard.Â
âMaybe if weâre lucky, one of us will get out of here. Be able to stay in a warm building, with wool blankets, fires lit in every roomâŚâ Joseph twirled one of his dark curls around an index finger contemplatively, Y/N frowning at the unsaid. The only way that would happen would be if one of them got picked to become a human blood bank at the end of the week. Joseph read her mind. âTomorrow is the Drawing.â
Drawing day happened monthly. Each acolyte in the Sanctuary was required to report to the infirmary wing and offer up a pint of their blood to be sent out around the area for vampires to âsampleâ, like some kind of wine tasting that could be delivered to oneâs doorstep. Days after the Drawing, there would be a chance that word would be sent from a coven that they were interested in a sample, and the matching acolyte, in consequence, would be delivered to the coven to be a live-in blood donor.Â
The Drawing happened for a reason. While vampires held the most power across the globe, it was agreed decades ago, after many conferences held by vampires and human world leaders, that solitary vampires must go through a Sanctuary in order to receive a human to feed on. It was during that time when solitary vampires began to form covens to decrease demand for a human donor, and Sanctuaries were born. It was also that time where vampires roamed rampant, claiming any human on the street to drain dry. The death toll was climbing at an alarming rate, so a compromise was reached: vampires could not âhuntâ, only go through a Sanctuary to select a donor, one theyâd keep indefinitely. Â
Y/N often weighed the pros and cons of being selected for The Drawing: at the Sanctuary, she could keep her blood but spend her days freezing, eating nasty food, and scrubbing the filthy building. If she was taken in by a coven, sure, sheâd have luxuriesâ good food, riches, warm clothes. But sheâd be at the mercy of vampires, notoriously vicious and unforgiving creatures. That, and sheâd be fed on constantly by the sadistic beings, likely for the rest of her life.Â
âThatâs why we got extra organs today. Figures,â Y/N shrugged, once again pinching her nose to choke down a sliver of meat. âIâm beat. Gonna head back before the final bell. You can finish my portion, Joey.â
Joseph grimaced at the nickname, but eagerly reached for her tray anyways, Meredith watching Y/N slip from the hall. Delicately dabbing her mouth with a frayed cloth napkin, Meredith sighed.Â
âSheâs always like this the night before the Drawing,â Meredithâs voice was sympathetic, resigned. âShe never got used to it, even after all these years.â
âCan you blame her? She was living under the radar, forging her blood type results most of her life before she was caught. Iâd be jaded too,â Joseph pointed out around a mouthful of soggy kale. âYouâve been here your whole life, Mere. Y/N and I knew what it was like before living here. Having freedom.â
âI know that, Joseph,â Meredith, to her credit, had the decency to look chastised. âI never said I do not understand. I suppose since the Sanctuary is all I know, I do not yearn for freedom in quite the same way.â
Joseph collected his and Y/Nâs trays, smiling at Meredith wistfully. He often thought that life would be simpler if he began to think like her, but it was difficult to let go of freedoms after theyâd been tasted before. He remembered the days where he could wander in untamed forests, on the outskirts of town, where he could pick wild fruit and bask in the summer sun. Joseph recalled Y/N telling him about her life of drifting, hidingâ the excitement, the footloose feeling of it all. Smiling at his other friend still, he stood from the stone bench.Â
âThe freest weâll be is if weâre chosen after a Drawing. And even then, weâre birds in cages.â
Even though she had pulled two pairs of wool socks on her feet before passing out in bed, Y/Nâs toes were icicles when the obnoxious morning bell clanged through the hollow halls. Starting to regret not eating much dinner, Y/Nâs stomach was turning uncomfortably as she sat up in bed. The roiling in her gut was not just because she was hungry, but the familiar unease that festered there each morning of a Drawing day. As she watched Meredith, who happened to be her roommate, pull the threadbare curtains back on their barred window dutifully, Y/N sluggishly removed her nightgown and dressed herself in the dreaded white linens she was forced to wear on a daily basis. Â
âHopefully I wonât pass out today,â Y/N joked, knowing that Meredith was usually much more relaxed about complaining when they were in the privacy of their shoebox-sized room.Â
âTheyâll give you juice if you do. Just keep your eyes closed and focus on your breath,â Meredith gestured to the stool at the foot of her bed, encouraging Y/N to sit.
Humming, she did so, staring at the ceiling as her friend began to braid her hair. Meredithâs careful fingertips raking through her tresses calmed her down enough to stop the acid in her stomach from rising into her mouth. Meredith was singing quietly, a hymn, from the sound of it, and Y/N was thankful for the peaceful start of the day, no matter how cold and nauseous she was.Â
âYou wonât have to go to the infirmary until after lunch, right?â Y/N attempted to distract herself from the fact that sheâd be the very first to get her blood drawn.Â
âMm-hmm. B+ is scheduled for after the midday meal,â Meredith stopped singing, using a scrap of old cream fabric to tie off the braid hanging down Y/Nâs back. âSo Iâll see you in the dining hall, then Iâll meet you back in the west hallway to finish cleaning anything we didn't yesterday.â
âThanks, Mere,â Y/N reached back, passing her hand over the braid her friend weaved, wishing that there was at least a mirror somewhere. Y/N hadnât seen her reflection in years, except for blurry images in the surface of the Sanctuaryâs garden fountain; the wardens rejected vanity amongst acolytes. âIâm gonna get it over with, head straight for the infirmary.â
âAre you positive thatâs wise without breakfast? You hardly touched dinner, too,â Meredithâs pale eyebrows shot into her hairline, worry etched between them.Â
âIâm worried if I eat, the spinach smoothie will make another appearance as soon as they get the needle in my arm,â Y/N pictured the tasteless breakfast she normally had coming up for a round two and shuddered. âItâll be okay. Just like every time, right? Iâve been here for years. The local vampires donât seem to like my blood very much, or at least the ones that this Sanctuary sends it to.â
âGood luck, Y/N. See you at lunch,â Meredith didnât comment on Y/Nâs attempt to brighten upâ she knew the stakes were as high as Y/N did.Â
God must have felt particularly cruel the day he decided to bestow Y/N with one of the worldâs rarest blood types: the coveted AB-, a sought-after type for many vampires. Apparently, all of the blood types had different tastes, but Y/N hardly believed that. Blood was blood; tinny, salty, and a nauseating reminder of fragile mortality. There was a reason she had hidden from the world for many years, drifting from place to place. Those with AB- blood were hardly at Sanctuaries for long before a coven would promptly request them as their live-in donor. Y/N was basically living on borrowed timeâ she often wondered if her bitterness leached into her bloodstream and spoiled the âproductâ.Â
Dragging her palm along the stone walls of the Sanctuaryâs hallway, Y/N barely registered the crowd of acolytes passing by on their ways to the dining hall in the opposite direction from where she was going. Y/N was the only acolyte in that particular Sanctuary to have AB- blood, so naturally, she was by herself every Drawing day first thing in the morning, and the top priority of the wardens. Swallowing thickly, the scent of rubbing alcohol had her gagging as it filled her nostrils when she neared closer to the infirmary.Â
 Of course, the infirmary wing was cold as ice both temperature wise and atmospherically. In contrast to the Gothic interior of the rest of the Sanctuary, the infirmary was somewhat modern (or was once, in the 80âs), sterile, and covered in pastel vinyl flooring. Her Mary Janes squeaked against the tiles, nervously wringing her hands together as she stared at the plastic dentistâs chair in the corner of the room, the clump of wardens setting up the apparatus to collect blood. Clearing her throat, Y/N pressed her lips together in a line as one of the wardens turned to herâ Mrs. Sloane, a severe 60-year-old woman who ran the Sanctuary like the military. Y/N had an acute dislike for the woman, who saw her and the acolytes as nothing more but cattle to raise.Â
âAB-, come here. Everything is ready,â her voice was dry, sharp, like a whip cracking down. It had her flinching, but she obediently trudged towards the crinkled old chair, mostly out of fear of having to kneel in the chapel for several hours in punishment if she didnât follow orders exactly.
Knees wobbling, she lowered herself onto the chair while Mrs. Sloane eyed her like she was a slab of wagyu beef she was preparing to sell to the highest bidder. Biting her lip, she swiftly shut her eyes, heeding Meredithâs earlier advice. Perhaps she could prolong her anxiety attack if she kept her eyes shut the entire time, flinching in the seat when someone was not-so-gently rolling up the sleeve on her left arm past her elbow and swiping an alcohol wipe over her sensitive skin.Â
âWeâll be taking more than usual today,â Mrs. Sloane announced, and Y/Nâs plans of staying blind were foiled when her eyes snapped open in shock.Â
âW-what? But taking more than a pint is dangerous, is it not?â Y/Nâs voice came out panicked and thin, Mrs. Sloane scowling at her nastily.Â
âSilence. It is not your place to question,â Mrs. Sloane scolded, Y/Nâs breathing becoming fast and shallow. âA new coven has arrived in the area. They have requested a large sample of AB-.â
Dread flooded through every cell of her body, horrified that she was about to be drained dry, two pint bags on the steel table beside her. Barely having time at all to process that there was a coven of vampires that were new to the area, and that there was a great chance that theyâd select her as a donor, Y/N yelped when one of the wardens pinned her wrist down and another slid the hollow needle in her arm. Seeing stars dance in her field of vision, Y/N whimpered at the sting of the needle, feeling sick when she felt the warmth of her blood flowing into the tube connected to the pint bag resting on her arm. She absolutely loathed the feeling of her blood leaving her body, like her very life force was being sucked out, and before she could actively close her eyes, they shut involuntarily when they began to water.Â
âCalm down, AB-,â Mrs. Sloane sounded like she was spitting through her teeth, Y/N unable to feel her limbs. âYou should be grateful. Youâll have the rest of the day off to recuperate.â
Y/N hardly heard the woman. Ears ringing, she was drifting away, a cold, sticky sweat coating her forehead. While she was struggling to form a coherent thought, one of the wardens must have switched out the full bag for the empty one, and by then, Y/N lost consciousness.Â
Several moments later, Y/N not knowing exactly how much time had passed, someone was snapping in her face, jamming a straw in her mouth. Nearly choking on the orange juice that was being squeezed down her parched throat, her eyes opened blearily and all she could see was blinding white light from the fluorescence above her.Â
âYou may sit here for no more than five additional minutes. Then return to your dorm until the dinner bell,â Mrs. Sloaneâs arms were crossed, annoyed that Y/N was holding up the line of acolytes outside waiting their turns.Â
Though she was pretty much completely drained of energy, Y/Nâs mind was moving a thousand miles per hour. With a new coven in the area, there was a very real possibility theyâd be interested in her blood, considering the rarity of the blood type. She gleaned no additional information from Mrs. Sloaneâ typicalâ but how many vampires would be in that coven, if God forbid they chose her? Three, four? Four was typically the largest a coven would get, and the thought of four of them latching onto her at once had her leaning over in the chair and emptying the contents of her stomach into the bucket on the floor.Â
It didnât matter that sheâd be free of the Sanctuary. Though sheâd live lavishly, sheâd have constant open wounds and would be psychologically tortured by the creatures. Suddenly, meals made purely of beef liver and beds constructed out of pallets seemed much better than cake and down feather mattresses.Â
âYour time is up. Go back to your dorm. The midday meal will be delivered to you,â Mrs. Sloane barked, hauling Y/N up by her wrist. Feet faltering, Y/N swayed and scrabbled for the drywall, blindly feeling her way to the main hallway again.Â
Dazed, her arm throbbed where the needle had been inserted, and the only positive that came from that morningâs events was the fact that sheâd get to lay in bed all day instead of scrubbing floors. Y/N wasnât sure how she managed to find her way back to her dorm room, but before she knew it, she was wrapping two blankets around herself and curling up in bed.Â
She was woken up by Meredith hours later, the blonde bringing her a tuna sandwich on a undoubtedly stale roll. Choking it down like a wolf, she tried not to cry when Meredith gingerly wrapped a cloth around her arm, which was cruelly left to clot on its own by the wardens.Â
âItâs going to be me this time,â Y/N announced dully, eyes on the overcast sky outside her barred windows. âI can feel it.â
âThere is no way to knowââ
âA new coven has moved to this town,â Y/N cut her friend off, Meredithâs hands stilling. Withdrawing her touch from Y/Nâs arm, Meredith appeared tentatively unsure.Â
âTo Newport?â Meredithâs light eyebrows pulled together, disbelieving. Newport wasnât exactly a magnet for vampires, most of the ones that resided in the area werenât in covens at all, just solitary vampires. A new coven spelled danger for Y/N. âI heard that a vampire built one of the famous mansions by the ocean. Do you think one of the vampires could be him?â
âWell, if he is, then I guess Iâd get to live like a princess. You know, the one that got locked in a tower with a dragon and shit.â
Y/N had a bad feeling. Not that she was one to have premonitions, but trusting that feeling in her gut is what helped her to survive years before she was brought to the Sanctuary. Meredith stroked the back of her head in an attempt to comfort her, but Y/N knew she was just as nervous as she was. Because the coven requested so much of her blood specifically, and was the only person in the immediate area with AB- blood, if the vampires liked her blood her fate was officially sealed. Swallowing bile, she shook her head, not wanting to put the cart before the horse yet.Â
âI shouldnât get ahead of myself. Iâve been around for a while, none of the local vampires have been interested. Maybe my blood tastes like dirt, and Iâll be here until Iâm elderly.â
âItâs okay to worry, Y/N. However,â Meredith sat on the side of Y/Nâs bed, the old wood frame creaking with her weight. âThere are many others here with rare blood types. Perhaps they will prefer AB positive.â
âPerhaps,â Y/N agreed, beginning to sit up. âShall we go to the hall and finish the windows?â
âI have to go to the infirmary wing, itâs my turn. You should rest, Y/N,â Meredith helped her stand, Y/N furiously shaking her head.Â
âIf I stay here until dinner, my thoughts will continue to spiral,â Y/N shoved her feet into her well-worn shoes, slinging her braided hair over her shoulder. âThank you for bringing me lunch. Iâll get started on the windows and wait for you.â
Y/N headed out first, leaving Meredith to prepare herself for her drawing. The blonde often liked to pray before the process, Y/N not knowing whether she was praying to be chosen, or praying to be skipped over. She didnât have the stomach to ask.Â
By herself in the west hallway, she picked up the rag she abandoned the previous evening with a rough sigh. The sky opened up and ice-cold rain began to pelt the windows, crows eerily taking shelter in the eaves of the bell tower. Y/N felt like their beady eyes were on her, able to see through the glass and spot her wiping the window. Shuddering, she couldnât tear her sight from the birds, the superstitious side of her insisting that they were some kind of omen.Â
Two days later, Y/N was trudging through the hollow halls after dinner, which she again excused herself from early. There had been no news about the results of the Drawing, but it didnât stop her stomach from turning over in anxiety all day long. Hands coming up to rub her biceps, she glanced at the full moon outside of the large arched windows, slightly obscured by thin, dark clouds.Â
Kicking a stray stone as she turned the corner to the wing with the dorms, she paused a few feet from her and Meredithâs door with a frown. Light spilled out from the open dorm, more light than would have been possible coming from the small candles she and Meredith were allowed for nighttime reading. Besides, Meredith was still in the dining hall, so the door shouldnât have been open. Fear sunk into her bones, making a sticky heat flash over her skin with dread. Mustering her remaining courage, she crept towards her room like a mouse.Â
Torches were lit up in the usually empty sconces, three wardens, including Mrs. Sloane, rifling through Y/Nâs small dresser and nightstand. There was a large, old-fashioned suitcase box on her bed. Horrified and confused, Y/N accidentally bumped into the creaky door and snagged Mrs. Sloaneâs attention.Â
âCongratulations, AB-,â Mrs. Sloane was sickly sweet, and it didnât suit her whatsoever. âThe coven has chosen you. Help pack your belongings, you leave tonight.â
âWhat?â Y/Nâs world was spinning, vision getting spotty. âLeave? T-tonight?â
âYes, girl. Are you hard of hearing? Pack your belongings, we are to bring you to the coven in less than an hour,â Mrs. Sloane went back to her snarky self, Y/N holding onto the door in a desperate attempt to stay upright.Â
Mrs. Sloane reached for the pocket of her apron, where she kept a metal ruler so she could strike those who disobeyed her, Y/N stumbled into the room and shakily tossed her white skirts into the suitcase to avoid being struck. Hardly able to form a single coherent thought, Y/N moved woodenly, so shocked that tears didnât even roll down her cheeks.Â
âYou are lucky. The coven that requested you consists of some of the wealthiest vampires in the world. You will want for nothing,â Mrs. Sloane tossed the final garment Y/N owned into the suitcase, another warden closing it up and bringing it out to the hall. Y/N had to hold her tongue, considering she was about to shout but Iâm going to live with monsters. âAll seven of them have wealth, in fact. They are rumored to have great powers, as well.â
âS-seven? Did y-you just say seven?â Y/N gasped, flinching when Alfred, the burliest warden in the Sanctuary, grabbed her arm and began to pull her out of the room. She had never heard of a coven so large, and it made every cell in her body light up with sharp panic.Â
âYes, seven. Make haste,â Mrs. Sloane and Alfred hauled her through the Sanctuary, confused acolytes coming from the dining hall making space for them to pass. Y/N recognized the look on some of their faces, relief that they hadnât been chosen.Â
âBut, my friends! Please, let me say goodbye,â Y/N begged, tears finally starting to form when she spotted Joseph in the crowd, his eyes wide and mouth dropped open. Somewhere, Meredith was probably thinking about the book they were going to read together that night.Â
âThereâs no time. Youâll get to write letters,â Mrs. Sloane refused, a whimper coming from Y/Nâs throat as tears began to pour down her cheeks, getting one last look at Joseph who was mouthing something to her. Miserably, she couldnât figure out what he was trying to say, Alfred yanking her to the tall front doors, frigid air blasting her in the face as they opened.Â
In the courtyard, a place Y/N had only been once or twice when she was first brought to the Sanctuary, there was a horse-drawn carriage. Y/N, had she not been in the greatest shock of her life, would have laughedâ wouldnât it have been easier for her to be taken in a car? Hardly having the time to look back at the Sanctuary she called home the past ten years, her knees knocked together when she was pushed into the carriage with her luggage. Unfortunately, she wasnât allowed privacy to cry when in the carriage, Alfred clambering in after her with a grunt.Â
Y/N didnât talk to Alfred, mostly because he rarely spoke. At least he let her silently weep for a few moments, Y/N beginning to process the gravity of the situation. With watery eyes, she looked outside the carriage window, the gothic Sanctuary becoming distant as the horses trotted on. Her dread was temporarily numbed by the opportunity to see beyond the Sanctuary, land she had not seen in years. The trees lining the paved streets were barren, gray, and the hard-packed dirt had not a blade of grass. Even then, Y/N hadnât seen such beauty in so longâ a small taste of freedom before she was locked away for life again.Â
Her tears continued to flow even when she greedily took in the sights of the town of Newport, the homes of the wealthy humans who did not have to give up their freedom for vampires, shops that had closed for the day, parked cars on the sides of the streets. It was odd to see the vehicles, considering she had been living in an analog manner for so long, Y/N wondered if sheâd ever know what the inside of one looked like.Â
âH-how long will it take?â Y/N asked timidly, not confident Alfred would respond, but she tried anyway. The middle-aged man looked up from his Bible, giving Y/N an unfeeling look.Â
âWe are no more than ten minutes away, now. Wipe your sorry face,â Alfred responded coldly, Y/Nâs heart racing when she dabbed at her cheeks obediently. âYou will not shame our Sanctuary by showing the coven how miserable you are.â
Y/N had never heard Alfred speak so many words. She was starting to think that was for the best, his words like a slap across her face. Part of her pondered if sheâd ever hear a kind word again. Lapsing back into silence, Y/N sniffled up the remainder of her tears, the shock beginning to wear off and her survival skills kicking in. If she wanted to remain sane, and not give the vampires an inch before they took a mile, she had to appear unafraid and unaffected. Strong, confident, and indifferent, but pure, so if not to anger them. Vampires and their purityâ ironic.
The housesâ if one could even call the structures thatâ became grander and grander the further they traveled. The massive buildings made the ginormous cathedral the Sanctuary called home look like a garden shack. Y/N had a hunch, as they turned down a road that had imposing iron gates lining yards that looked like parks, that the coven she was to belong to resided in one of the famous Newport mansions. Passing by a white marble monstrosity, Y/N shuddered. The homes looked empty, cold, and imposing. Grand, yes, but the kind of display of wealth that had someone like Y/N, who lived her entire life struggling, clenching her fist in fury.Â
âWonât be long now. Straighten yourself out. The staff is to greet you,â Alfred slapped his Bible shut, grasping for the handle of Y/Nâs suitcase.
Breathing shallowly, Y/Nâs eyes nearly bugged out of her head when the carriage brought them to the largest iron gate on the street, initials TK welded between filigree at the top of the barrier. As if by magic, the gates began to creak open, Y/N stunned by her first glimpse of actual electricity illuminating the gatehouse. Of course, she had seen it prior to her life at the Sanctuary, but it was odd to see the night lit up after living by candlelight. Gnawing at her nails, thinking that she could be shocked no further, an audible gasp tore from her when the carriage pulled through the driveway of great trees, an imposing mansion coming into view.Â
Y/N had never imagined such a building could ever be constructed. It would take a person hours to walk the entire floor plan, the grounds aside. Y/N was struck by a memory from earlier that week, when Meredith brought up the mansions by the ocean. One of the members of the coven must have been the man that built it, and the only other thing Y/N knew was that the mansion was settled on a steep cliff jutting into the sea. One she could potentially careen herself off of, if need be.Â
Her elbow was tightly grabbed again when the carriage stopped before the covered front entrance, bright lights nearly blinding her as Alfred shoved her out of the carriage, Y/N freezing instantly when she felt a foreign touch on her forearm to steady her. Eyes adjusting, she frantically looked up, not ready to deal with a vampire right off the bat. To her great relief, a blue-eyedâ not red-eyed man, one dressed in a fine suit, righted her with a tight smile. A human, presumably a member of the mansionâs staff.Â
âIâIâ Iâm sorry,â Y/N managed, cursing Alfred colorfully in her mind. So much for confidence.Â
âQuite alright, acolyteâŚâ the man prompted in a British accent, the first whisper of kindness Y/N had in over an hour.Â
âOh. Forgive me. Acolyte Y/N,â she replied quickly, accessing the back of her brain where cobwebs and her etiquette surrounding that event resided.Â
âSir, you may leave. Acolyte Y/N will begin her duties under our watch now,â the man in the suit removed his touch from Y/Nâs forearm, not a single strand of silver hair on the manâs head out of place.Â
âContact us if there are issues,â Alfred hardly got out of the carriage, his scarred face twisting into a smirk. Y/N wanted to spit on him.Â
âOf course,â the man replied, tight smile still on his lips, standing importantly beside Y/N until the carriage was well on its way back to the gate. âHeâs a cup of tea, isnât he?â
Y/N blinked, not knowing whether or not to agree, if it was her place. Turning to the man, whose posture had loosened up and a more genuinely friendly expression taking over his features, Y/N nodded slowly.Â
âForgive me. Iâm Edmund, head butler here at The Breakers. Pleased to meet you, Miss Y/N,â Edmund extended a gloved hand to Y/N, who hesitantly shook it. Was he trying to get her guard down by feigning gentlemanly behavior? âI take care of important matters inside of the estate. If you have any needs, you can seek me out. Of course, youâll have personal maids, as well. Come, letâs get you out of the cold.â
Reeling, Y/N watched Edmund effortlessly scoop up her luggage, timidly following him to the door that was opened by an older man, also dressed in a sharp suit. With a house that size, Y/N realized that the staff must have been numerous to keep everything functioning smoothly. It was somewhat of a comfort that the staff she encountered so far seemed to be humans, likely ones with low status and common blood types.Â
Not even the imposing exterior of the building could have prepared Y/N for what the mansion looked like inside. In just the entrance alone, exquisite stone work, massive tiled floors, and tall ornate lamps illuminated by real light bulbs had stars circling around her head. Now that she was inside, she started to feel nervous again, waiting for a vampire to pop out from behind a thick stone column. In awe and in fear of her surroundings, she jolted when a young woman appeared from the left, carrying a tray.Â
âThis is Nadia, sheâll be your head maid. Iâll take your luggage to your room, and Nadia will show you around the first floor before you retire. Sheâll answer any questions you have.â
Edmund bowed to Y/N, which had her blanching in embarrassment. The butler disappearing further into the estate, Y/N turned to Nadia when the young woman cleared her throat lightly.Â
âMiss, Iâve brought you some cocoa. Hopefully it will warm you,â Nadia presented her with a large porcelain mug on the silver tray, a thick, sweet smell hitting her nostrils and making her nearly tear up. The only chocolate she could have at the Sanctuary was a square of bitter 100% cacao on Wednesdays and Sundays, not something decadent and rich like the cocoa she was being offered.Â
âI can have this?â Y/N squeaked, not daring to take the mug lest it was some kind of trick. Nadia cocked her head, confused by the question.Â
âOf course, Miss. Unless you donât like chocolate, I can prepare you some tea instead,â Nadia began to lower the tray, Y/N waving her hands urgently to stop her.Â
âN-no, no, you donât have to do that! Thank you, Iâll take it,â Y/N wrapped her hands around the ceramic mug, the warmth soothing her frozen fingers. âUm, you can call me Y/N if you want, please.â
Y/N was already weirded out, and people addressing her by formal titles was definitely a camel back-breaking straw. Nadia set her tray aside, watching Y/N take a shaky sip of the cocoa. It was the most delicious thing she had ever tasted, and she couldnât even find it in herself to be embarrassed when she drained the whole mug in five seconds flat. The drink was thick, rich, and warmed her from the inside out. She both wanted to cry and beg for a second mug.Â
âYou must be freezing, shall we head into the hall? Itâs much warmer there,â Nadia gestured forward, Y/N glancing at what appeared to be a giant ballroom in front of her. Gulping, she nodded, following the woman timidly. So far, not a single mention of the vampires that allegedly lived in the mansion. âIf youâd like, I can draw you a hot bath when we get to your bedroom. Iâve filled your dresser with warm clothes for you to sleep in, too, Iâll put them on your bed⌠This is the Great Hall. I imagine the coven will hold parties here from time to time.â
Y/N didnât know where to look. Between the sheer size of the space, the ornate artwork painted on the ceiling, and the endless colors swirling around the room, her vision finally landed on the enormous fireplace roaring at one end of the hall. It was then when she noticed it was the first time since mid-October she wasnât chilly. Prior to that evening, Y/N had a lot of assumptions about vampires. One of the assumptions was that they would prefer to live in a cold and dark environment, but the mansion she was standing in was toasty and brightly lit.Â
âItâs⌠big,â Y/N managed weakly, Nadia leading her to a red-carpeted staircase. All she could do was follow, wanting to ask the maid a few questions about the coven, but she knew that vampires had superior hearing and she didnât want to attract the attention of one of them.Â
âYes, but you will become accustomed to it. I can help you navigate the interior and grounds until you know your own way around. Oh, right here. This is a portrait of Master Taehyung. He built this estate,â Nadia paused on the landing, where the staircase split into two directions.Â
Whipping her head upwards, she soaked in the lines of the old painted canvas, Nadiaâs first mention of the vampires making her heart stop dead in her chest. The man depicted in the painting was beautiful, which was typical for the creatures, but Taehyung nearly took her breath away. Dressed in a Victorian-style suit, the vampire had a cold, stern expression. His dark wavy hair was parted down the middle neatly, and of course, the vampiric red irises staring back at her made her stomach turn in fear. Schooling her features, Y/N bit her lip at Nadiaâs expectant expression.Â
âHeâs, um. Handsome,â Y/N offered, hoping that her voice wasnât wavering, Nadia nodded, resuming her ascent up the stairs.Â
âMaster Taehyung made his fortune in steamships, railroads, and shipping in the mid-1800âs. Heâs a legendary businessman,â Nadia informed her, Y/N cringing that she referred to the creature as a âmanâ. Nadia herself didnât seem to have a problem with the vampire, and in fact, her voice almost implied that she admired Taehyung. âAll seven of our masters are impressive men.â
âWait, theyâre all male?â Y/N stopped in her tracks, feeling the blood drain from her face. She was hoping for a coven of mostly female vampires, theorizing that perhaps theyâd be less vicious.Â
âYes, Iâm sure you know that itâs atypical for a coven to be both so large and of all one gender. The masters are like-minded, which is why they chose to form the coven,â Nadia explained, stopping at a door at the end of the hall, beside a breezeway that likely looked out onto the ocean. âHere we are, this is where youâll stay. The rest of the bedrooms on this floor are occupied by five of the masters, Masters Seokjin and Namjoon prefer the bedrooms on the third floor due to privacy of the quarters.â
Y/N swallowed, stepping into her new bedroom, which was bigger than four dorm rooms at the Sanctuary smashed together. The walls were covered in an intricate pink floral wallpaper, all of the upholstered furniture a matching shade of blushing rose, and the marble fireplace was lit already. The room was decidedly feminine, Y/Nâs eyes catching on a painting above a nightstand depicting dancing women. Nadia, as she was bumbling around the room selecting clothes from a dresser, noticed Y/N staring at it. It was expertly painted, precise.Â
âThat is one of Master Yoongiâs pieces, depicting the Nine Muses of Greek mythology,â Nadia placed flannel pajamas on Y/Nâs new bed, which looked plush and was piled high with thick pillows. âMaster Yoongi is a painter, an artist. Very famous.â
âReally?â Y/N knew nothing about art, let alone Greek mythology. She didnât have the luxury of studying those things.Â
âThe hour is growing late, Miss. I can tell you more about the masters in the morning. They will not be back from the affairs that called them away tonight until midday tomorrow,â Nadia pulled out a pocket watch from her apron, heading towards a door by the back of the bedroom. âIâll run your bath, and leave you to rest. Youâll be woken in the morning for breakfast.â
Moments later, Y/N was left alone in her very own bathroom, not a communal one like she was used to at the Sanctuary with cold water taps. The bathtub had steaming water filling the room with humidity, the scent of lavender oil somewhat easing her frayed nerves. Chewing her lip, she decided she might as well indulge in the hot bath, considering her muscles were beyond stiff and there was no way sheâd be able to fall asleep right away, if at all.Â
Part of her wondered what kind of âaffairsâ that the vampires were involved with. If it were her, and she had accumulated all of that wealth and immortality, sheâd spend her days lazing around. The other part of her was thanking the sky that none of them were in the building; she had more time to prepare herself to meet the creatures the following day. Stiffly, she began to untie her skirt, letting the fabric hit the floor. Y/N supposed never having to wear those skirts again was a bit of a silver lining. Kicking it to the side, Y/Nâs vision caught on something silvery and polishedâ an actual mirror. Eagerly, she dashed to the sink it was fixed over to catch a glimpse of herself for the very first time in ages.Â
Unable to help the gasp that came from her mouth, Y/N didnât recognize the woman staring back at her. The image of herself she had in her mind was her fifteen year old self, not the twenty-five year-old reflected in the polished silver. In awe, she traced her sharpened jaw and cheekbone, lacking teenage fullness, and she realized that she had forgotten the color of her eyes. Tearing up a little, she turned from side to side, getting a look at her figureâ even going as far as removing the rest of her clothing in curiosity. Poking at areas of her body she was unfamiliar with in the mirror, like the curve to her hips, Y/N felt rather odd. The whole evening had her entire world turning upside-down.Â
After several moments, she tore her attention from the mirror, only feeling slightly guilty of vanity, and tentatively dipped a toe into the bath. The water didnât immediately dissolve her skin and bones, so she slowly sunk her body into the porcelain basin with a ragged groan. Maybe she had died and went somewhere beautiful, because being treated like royalty so far was not something she predicted. In the back of her mind, she reminded herself not to get too comfortable. She hadnât even met the coven yet, and for all she knew, they could be horrible individuals. Nadia didnât speak of them in that wayâ but maybe the maid wouldnât dare.Â
Y/N sat in the bath until the water became lukewarm and her skin was pruny. Limbs loose, she wrapped herself in a plush towel that was waiting for her on a rack that actually heated the towel. While the ends of her hair dripped water on the tiled floor, she bent down, looking through a chest beside the sink with interest. Each drawer held essential and non-essential toiletries, some things Y/N had never even heard of. Picking up a bottle of âskin oilâ and âhair detanglerâ, she blinked in confusion. Was it Nadia who stocked the drawers for her? Or were the vampires considerate enough to provide her with a toothbrush and facial cleanser?
Head full of cotton, she decided to ignore all of the products she was unfamiliar with and simply brushed her teeth and combed her hair. Peeking out of the bathroom door to make sure that no one had entered the room while she was bathing, Y/N tip-toed across the richly carpeted floor towards the ridiculously large bed. The fire was still going, warming the room, and Y/N hesitantly slid into a pair of flannel pajama pants left out for her. The elasticated waistband hugged her hips perfectly, and as she buttoned up the top and pulled on fluffy socks, she speculated about how Nadia managed to figure out her measurements. The Sanctuary probably had some sort of file on all of her personal information, which had her skin crawling.Â
While she was still on edge, her body was so relaxed from the bath that with slight resignation, she maneuvered herself under the sheets and heavy blankets, clasping a hand over her mouth as she sunk comically into the mattress. The bed hugged her in all directions, like getting to sleep on a cloud, and as she stared at the ceiling in awe, Y/N squirmed around to get in a cozy position curled up tight on her side protectively.Â
The lights would remain on, that was for sure. Y/N was never afraid of the dark per se, but in a new environment, she wasnât risking things watching her from the shadows of the old estate. While memorizing the shapes of the intricate carvings on the ceiling, Y/N tried to make a mental list of everything she knew about vampires in general, and the specifics of the ones she was about to serve.Â
Over the centuries, there were several old wives tales that were circulated by humans surrounding vampires; but Y/N hardly knew which ones were fact or fiction. There were the superstitions passed down through common blood-typed, lower class humans that would work as maids and butlers to the vampires, the awe-inspiring, intimidating tidbits wealthy and influential humans would spread after doing business with the creatures. Then, of course, was the probable propaganda Y/N and her fellow acolytes were spoon-fed in Sanctuaries.Â
Y/N started with what she knew was just plain phony: vampires did not have an aversion to the sun and could walk around in daylight as they pleased. They did not flee from crosses or garlic, and they could not be exterminated by a stake through the heart. Acolytes were told that vampires could not be killed, and had few, if any, weaknesses. That was enough to have Y/N shivering, even beneath all of her blankets and flannel pajamas.Â
The older the vampire, the less in-touch with humanity they became. There was a recalled memory, a boring lecture in the Sanctuaryâs dusty chapel, which consisted of a hazy memory of Y/N copying down âOldest known vampire is aged 1,291 years, but some may be even olderâ. Y/N couldnât even fathom living to be in her forties, let alone how it must be to live for over a century. On the other hand, âyoungerâ vampiresâ under three hundred years oldâ tended to be bolder, and adapted to modern times with greater ease.Â
Vampires needed human blood to sustain their powers, immortality, and to keep their internal organs functioning properly. While considered to be undead, a vampireâs heart kept beating, lungs brought in oxygen, and they could even digest human food if the creatures had consistent access to blood. Squeezing her eyes shut tight at the image of a vampire tearing into a rare steak, Y/N started to count off the things she found out from Nadia about the particular coven that requested her from the Sanctuary.Â
First, there was only a brief visual she had of one out of the seven, âMasterâ Taehyung. Y/N prayed she wouldnât have to use a title on any of them, but it was likely out of her hands. Sure, the portrait depicted a handsome young man, with all the airs of importance and wealthâ but Y/N couldnât get his unearthly red irises out of her mind. Taehyung was the vampire that commissioned the construction of the mansion she was currently cowering in, apparently a business tycoon that dominated during the Gilded Age. The next piece of information she got was âSeokjinâ and âNamjoonâ living on a separate floor for additional privacy, which made her nervous for some reason. Which was more dangerous, vampires in the bedroom next door to her, or those hidden in spots she hadnât even toured yet?
The last thing she learned about one of the vampiresâ Yoongiâ from Nadia is that he was evidently a famous artist. Cracking one sore eye open, she stared at the elaborately framed artwork above her nightstand again, noticing the fading of the paint and how it aged the piece. How old was the painting, and how old was Yoongi? Shutting her eyes once more, she sunk deeper into the mattress and pulled her blankets over her head. Nadia promised sheâd answer any additional questions Y/N had over breakfast, so Y/N miraculously fell asleep by coming up with a handful of queries.Â
âMiss, hello? The sun has risen,â Y/N sat up in her bed with a sharp gasp, her hair hanging in her face like a nest. Whipping her head around frantically, she couldnât believe she actually managed to get some sleep in a brand-new setting so easily. Knocking on the door, as well as a mousy, unfamiliar voice had her stumbling to her feet frantically. âMay I come in, Miss?â
âUm, uh, yes, come in,â Y/N panicked, smoothing her wrinkled flannel shirt into place and hastily raking hair from her face. The door creaked open, a young woman who wasnât Nadia hurrying inâ her uniform pristinely pressed.Â
âGood morning, Miss Y/N. Iâm Juliana, I work under Nadia. Iâll be helping you with your morning routine, while Nadia handles more important mattersâ coordinating breakfast, of course,â Juliana gave Y/N a slight bow, Y/Nâs mouth dropping open at the gesture.
Before she could respond, Juliana began to draw the great curtains around the room open, the blinding white light of the early winter morning flooding into the room and stinging her eyes. When her vision returned to her, she gasped again at the sight just beyond the windows. Unable to help herself, she tripped towards one of the windows, grappling for the sill so she could steady herself.Â
Her room overlooked the backyardâ if one could even call it thatâ and beyond the manicured grass and gardens was the vast, unending ocean once the landscaping dropped off of the famous cliff. It was like her eyes couldnât absorb enough of the scenery, and impatiently, she pressed her forehead to the glass plane to gawk at the icy, gray ocean.Â
âIn this drawer, here, weâve placed warm pants for youâ leggings, jeans, corduroys. If you prefer skirts and wool tights, those are hanging in your closet, and your tops and sweaters are in this armoire, here. Underthings are located in the lingerie chest beside you,â Juliana opened up various drawers, light on her feet and peppy, her curly brown hair bouncing with her movements.
âLin⌠lingerie?â Y/N tasted the unfamiliar word on her tongue, attention effectively stolen from the gorgeous view beyond her windows.Â
âForgive me. Itâs another word for your undergarments, such as brassiers?â Juliana clarified, raising her brows and crossing the room. Y/N had not a single clue what she was talking about, following her like a duckling.Â
âOh! Iâve neverâŚâ Y/N suddenly felt immensely awkward, peering into the drawer that held garments she hadnât worn while at the Sanctuaryâ the thick, burlap material of the Sanctuary tops were all she got, not delicate lacy scraps of fabric that seemed to exist for the sole purpose of cradling her chest. âUm, okay. I can⌠wear whatever I want?â
âYes, yes, as long as youâre comfortable, Miss,â Juliana took Y/Nâs confusion in stride, moving towards the fireplace. Taking up a fire poker, the maid prodded at the glowing embers in the hearth. âI hope you were warm enough while you slept. The fire tends to go out in the middle of the night.â
âY-yes, I was fine. Plenty of blankets,â Y/N chuckled nervously, not used to being so diligently cared for. Would it always be like that? âUm⌠have they returned?âÂ
âThey? You mean the masters?â Juliana paused, replacing the fire poker back on the rack. âTheyâll be back before noon.â
âOkay,â Y/N was proud of herself for keeping a tremble out of her voice, Juliana gesturing towards a vanity by one of the windows.Â
âI can comb your hair, Miss, then leave you to get changed,â Juliana herded Y/N to the cushy stool, Y/N once again blinking at her unfamiliar expression. Contrary to the circumstances, her expression told the story of someone who got plenty of rest the night before. âIâll wait by the stairs to show you to the breakfast room.â
That time, Y/N didnât reply. She was too distracted by the feeling of the young maid gliding a fine comb through her hair gentlyâ and with a sharp twist in her chest, she was reminded of the last time someone did her hairâ Meredith, on the day of the Drawing. Holding her breath, she waited patiently for Juliana to comb through every snag on her head, surprised when she finally pulled away without braiding Y/Nâs hair. Usually, Sanctuaries insisted that acolytes keep their hair braided if female, and cropped short if male. Juliana, however, left Y/N with her hair flowing free.Â
âAlright, Miss, take your time getting dressed. Iâll wait for you by the staircase,â Juliana smiled sweetly at her through the mirror, setting the comb back onto the vanity before she took her leave.Â
Y/N had a newfound feeling of determination when she absorbed her reflection, suddenly. She was going to get as much detail about the characters of the vampires from members of the staff as she could before the seven of them returned to the mansion. Swiftly, she pawed through various drawers for clothes, stomping to the bathroom to brush her teeth.
Tugging on fleece-lined leggings, she cursed at herself in the mirror when it took her several minutes to figure out how to hook a brassier around her bust. The top she selected was a large slouchy sweater, one that hid her figure and hung loosely around her thighs. It made her feel a bit more protected, not having so much skin exposed. There werenât any shoes in her closet, so she awkwardly stuffed her feet into her Mary Janes from the Sanctuary.Â
With a huff, she headed to the hallway, the mansion looking completely different during the day. Early winter sunlight flooded into the building, making the colors of the interior appear vibrant and excessive. Able to retrace her steps from the previous evening, Y/N didnât have any trouble meeting Juliana at the top of the grand staircase.Â
âRight this way, Miss,â Juliana started down the stairs, Y/N glancing at the portrait of Taehyung on the wall. She hadnât noticed before, but while he certainly seemed cold, there was a sort of melancholy look on his face.Â
âJuliana, did um⌠Master Yoongi paint that portrait?â Y/N launched into her interrogations, the maid cocking her head to look at the painting Y/N was referring to. Y/N had to fight the urge not to cringe when using the âmasterâ title.Â
âHmm. I never thought about that! Master Yoongi is mostly known for his work from the Renaissance. Now that you bring it up, however, the attention to detail does look quite a lot like Master Yoongiâs handiwork,â Juliana continued down the stairs, Y/N grasping onto the banister for stability. If Yoongiâs famous artwork was from the Renaissance period, heâd have to be over 500 years old. âDo you like to read, Miss? The library is full of rare books. Master Hoseok has collected them from around the world for hundreds of years. Nadia can show you the way after your breakfast.â
âOhââ
âGood morning, Miss Y/N, I hope you had a restful sleep,â Edmund was at the bottom of the staircase, interrupting Y/Nâs response to Juliana. âJuliana, youâre needed in the laundry.â
âYes, sir,â Juliana straightened up importantly, bowing at Y/N again. âHave a nice breakfast, Miss.â
Edmund stood with his hands clasped behind his back, watching Juliana hurry away out of earshot. The polite smile sort of slipped from his face, attention turning back to Y/N shifting from foot to foot by the staircase.Â
âY/N, after your meal, Iâd like to speak with you in the pantry. Have Nadia show you the way,â Edmund said quietly, gesturing to the left. Tightness in her chest increased when he said that, following him through the hall.Â
There was what appeared to be a grotto under the staircase, water trickling from a fountain and a couple of seats facing the structure. Briefly, Y/N thought that that would be a wonderful spot to read. Led to a sage-green room, Y/N blushed furiously when Edmund pulled out a chair for her at the round table in the center of the room. There was only one fine porcelain plate set in front of her, along with silver cutlery and crystal glasses.Â
âIâll tell them to send out the food. Please enjoy,â Edmund announced, filling one of Y/Nâs glasses with water from a metal pitcher. The butler was gone before she could ask him any questions, but moments later, at least ten staff members were filing into the room.Â
Y/Nâs eyes immediately bugged out of her head. A vat of creamy scrambled eggs, a platter of toast and pastries with jam and butter, plates of crispy bacon and breakfast potatoes, cinnamon-scented oatmeal, even a board with cheeses and bowls of every kind of fruit one could ever wish to try. Staff arranging everything meticulously, she could only blink as someone poured her a mug of coffee with cream and sugar left on the side, as well as a large glass of orange juice.Â
âW-wait, this is⌠this is all for me?â Y/N hadnât seen food like that well, ever. Everything looked gourmet and prepped with love and care. She wouldnât be able to eat everything, but she was going to try her hardest.Â
âYes, Miss. The staff eats before the sun rises,â a young man answered her, setting down a plate stacked with waffles and a gravy boat of syrup. âMeals will be quite large like this until we figure out what your favorite foods are. I hope thatâs alright.â
âO-of course,â Y/N felt herself flushing again, swallowing down a mouthful of saliva that was flooding her palate dangerously. âThank y-you.â
âEnjoy. Call if you would like anything else.â
With that, the staff left her alone in the room, and Y/N didnât know where to start. She compared the silence of the room to the loud chatter that she would listen to in the Sanctuaryâs dining hall. Slowly, she sniffed the steaming coffee in front of herâ she had never tasted it. Taking a small sip, she cringed at the bitterness, understanding at once why the bowl of sugar and fresh cream was left beside the mug. Not wanting to waste anything, she stirred cream and sugar into the mug until the drink tasted decent. With eager, shaky hands, Y/N stood with her plate and began to pile food onto it.Â
Y/N worked herself around the table. Ignoring the feeling of gluttony, she tried every single thing that was left out for her, her plate stacked so high she snorted at herself when she sat back down. To her embarrassment, she moaned in pleasure when she swallowed her spoonful of eggsâ buttery and topped with chives. Urgently, she nibbled on a strip of bacon, the meat hanging out of her mouth as she tore a croissant into pieces. Everything she put into her mouth was the most delicious thing in the world, and she felt like a ravenous bear trying to bulk up for the winter.Â
She stopped eating only when her stomach felt it was going to burst, pushing a bowl of peaches and cream away with a grunt. Y/N did try everything, but it looked like she hadnât even made a dent in the feast. Wiping her face with a fine cloth napkin, she clumsily got to her feet like a milk-drunk baby. Instantly, several staff members swept into the room when she stood to clear the table, Nadiaâs familiar face appearing.Â
âHow was your breakfast, Miss?âÂ
âIâve never had such delicious food,â Y/N admitted, absently trailing after her head maid through a door connected to the breakfast room, probably leading her to the pantry. âThe chefs here must be very skilled.â
âMaster Seokjin insists that we hire the finest chefs in the world. Though he is a vampire, he has culinary interests,â Nadia replied, Y/N finding it hard to walk with how stuffed she was. âEdmund told me you two were going to speak. Heâs likely going to give you a formal tour and tell you a few things about the manor, day-to-day routinesâŚâ
Y/N turned that over in her mind. The look on Edmundâs face earlier had a sort of graveness to it, which she didnât think matched up to explaining house rules. Y/N decided to keep her mouth shut, hoping at the very least sheâd have her questions answered. Suddenly, they were in a room filled with dark wood shelves holding china and crystal stemware, and when Y/N looked up, there was a loft that held even more shelves and dishes. Edmund was by a table in the center of the room, taking notes.Â
âThank you Nadia. I know you had some errands to run, so Iâll show Miss Y/N around until the masters return,â Edmund looked up from his notepad, Nadia nodding once before turning on her heel to leave the room.Â
âAlright, one moment, Miss Y/NâŚâ Edmund said in a chipper tone, moving around the room to shut the doors quickly, which had Y/N suddenly growing nervousâ was he trying to soundproof the room, keep the conversation quiet?
âOh, dear. You do not have to be frightened of me,â Edmund put his hands up when Y/N began to cower in the corner of the room. âI want to offer you information before the vampires return.â
âR-really?â Y/N released the breath she was holding, timidly getting closer to the table Edmund had returned to. He had a grandfatherly look about him, kind and warm. It was not lost on Y/N that he didnât refer to the vampires as masters.
âIt was lucky that they were called away yesterday. I fear you wouldnât have been prepared had they been here. Now, listen; this is very important. Most of the staff treats the coven like gods. I am the only one in this estate who you can talk about the coven negatively.â
Not a good start, Y/N thought, shivering.Â
âNegatively, sir?â
âChild. Looks can be deceiving. I know you that in the hours youâve been here already you have been treated gently. The coven will not follow suit. They are cruel, heartless creatures. You must do everything in your power to not upset any of them,â Edmund enunciated clearly, Y/Nâs heart dropping in her chest. âThe powers they possess are extremely dangerous. They do not have emotions like you or I.â
âThe way Nadia talked about them⌠painted a different picture,â Y/N uttered desperately, Edmund looking out the window wistfully.Â
âIâve been with the coven for decades, while they lived in Europe. Nadia has only been around for five years, and she does not deal with the coven as I do. She has not seen what theyâre capable of.â
âAre you telling me this because you feel bad for me?â Y/N suddenly became defensive despite her terror, hating when she was pitied in any circumstance.Â
âNo, child. I want to help you. I want to warn you, before they come back and they size you up,â Edmund shook his head, looking down at the notes he was taking earlier. âYou are dealing with four vampires that are very old and disconnected to humanity. The younger three are wild and reckless. It's important to remember this.â
âHow oldâŚâ
âIâll tell you a bit about each of them specifically in a moment. My largest piece of advice to you is never directly show the coven youâre afraid of them. Of course, theyâll be able to scent it on you, but do not give away your fear verbally, or you will be backed into a dark corner and toyed with.â
âOh my god,â Y/N breathed, then dreading the covenâs return to the estate.Â
âYou asked how old they are. Iâll start with the eldest, who is the most respected vampire in the covenâ he has seniority, you see, due to his age and his status. Seokjin is 879 years old, and when he was human, he was a crown prince of a Korean monarch,â Edmund began, using a handkerchief to dab his dewy hairline. âHe may appear very calm and unaffected, but he absolutely despises humans. He hardly tolerates the staff, and we know not to bother him unless necessary. Under no circumstance should you lie to him, ever. Iâve seen him kill many staff members and even associates over being deceived. One more thing about Seokjin⌠the âpowerâ he has. Vampires call it âCompulsionâ. He has the ability to make telepathic suggestions to others in order to control their thoughts, even wipe memories. He can convince a man to jump to his own death, or forget his happiest memories.â
Y/N didnât know what to say. All of the questions that she had come up with before falling asleep completely fled from her mind, and all she could do was grip onto the wooden table with slick palms. Over 800 years oldâ Seokjin was ancient, otherworldly, and sounded like a monster.Â
âOn the other hand, the youngest in the coven, Jeonggukâ just 124 years old. He has the gift of Telepathy, so you must learn to control your thoughts around him. If somehow, Seokjin is unable to find out you lied to him, Jeongguk can tear through your thoughts and report it back to him,â Edmund continued, tapping his notepad with his pen. âQuite a few in the coven have much experience with violence. Jeongguk, when he was human, was a bodyguard to Al Capone. When he was turned, he was not only a bodyguard, but he read the minds of enemy gangs to relay back to Capone. Heâs strong and lacks empathy, so he kills without mercy.â
âHow⌠will I be able to control my thoughts? Heâll know Iâm terrified, heâllâŚâ
âI can teach you, when theyâre away on business. It is difficult, but can be done. Child, let me finish telling you what I know before theyâre due back.â
Y/N clammed up, growing more petrified by the second by each word that came out of the butlerâs mouth. By the time he had run through the basic personalities of each of the vampires, Y/N had a cloth soaked in cold water pressed to her forehead. For lack of a better word, she was fucked.Â
âIâm sorry to tell you all of this,â Edmund said quietly when he was finished, regret flashing over his face. âJust know, you have someone here who is on your side. Iâll do everything I can to protect you from their wrath, or at least train you to handle it. Fortunately, youâre needed by themâ while they may be cruel to you, they need you alive in order to sustain themselves.â
âSpectacular,â Y/N wheezed, wishing she didnât eat so much breakfast. She didnât want it to make a second appearance. âTo think I was going to press you for information. I donât know if I was better off in the dark or not.â
âCertainly not. You know what to expect this afternoon, somewhat. Keep your guard up, and try to keep your fear in check, and the introduction can go smoothly,â Edmund insisted. âPerhaps⌠while you wait for their return, you can peruse the library, as Juliana suggested.â
Edmund began to open the doors again, and Y/N understood that meant their conversation was as good as over.Â
âEdmund?â
âYes, child?â
âWonât they know that you warned me about them? Will you be punished?â
âDonât worry about me, child. The coven knows how I feel about them, itâs earned me a teaspoon of respect. Besides, no other butler in the world wishes to work for them. Rumors of their behavior, you see,â Edmund placed a hand on Y/Nâs shoulder, smiling faintly. âCome. Iâll give you a brief tour and then escort you to the library.âÂ
About fifteen minutes later, Y/N was left by herself in the dark, intricate library. Hardly giving the alleged ârareâ books collected by Hoseok a glance, she sank down into a chair by the fireplace, staring into the flames blindly. Curiosity killed the cat, and Y/N hardly knew what to do. Every single one of the vampires were murderous, unfeeling monsters with horrifying powers. Powers theyâd likely be using on her any moment.Â
Y/N didnât know who she was afraid of the most. Seokjin sounded menacing, Jeongguk dangerous and immoral. The others, she didnât even know where to start sorting out what she learned. There was Hoseok, Y/Nâs eyes shifting to the weathered books on the shelves, who was once a pirate over four hundred years ago, and had the ability to âTrackâ people by scent. Edmund told her that Hoseok could find anybody without fail and even predict their future moves. He was greedy, fond of drinking, and impulsive.Â
She wondered if it was Namjoon she was most afraid of. His power was definitely the worst one: with eye contact and focus, he could inflict pain on others compared to being burned alive, a power called Pain Illusion. Apparently, he was once a Korean military general roughly four hundred years prior, and once turned, he became a sword-for-hire. Edmund told her that he enjoyed the kill, enjoyed watching others suffer, and was second to Seokjin as far as the hierarchy of the coven. Like the elder vampire, Namjoon had a disdain for humanity. Edmund told her to be especially careful around Namjoon, as he was a known sadist.Â
Head in her hands, she groaned. Yeah, Namjoon definitely was the scariest. The other three were no daisies, either, but the thought of having to experience what Namjoonâs Pain Illusion felt like was enough to have her heart racing.Â
Apparently Taehyung is the most deceiving of the bunch. He had all of the etiquette of a Gilded Age businessman, but Edmund relayed that he was absolutely ruthless when it came to his affairs and could Glamour his appearance. Jimin, a famed playwright of romantic tragedies the same years Jane Austen was active, was notoriously manipulative, hedonistic, and a feared Hypnotist. Finally, the artist, Yoongiâ apparently studied under an artist named Leonardo da Vinci, and was secretly known for using his power of Paralysis on his models so he could paint them for hours without interruption.Â
That tacky sort of nervous sweat began to roll down the notches of Y/Nâs spine. None of the vampires sounded friendly at all. Y/N knew that it would be wishful thinking to expect all of them to be somewhat tame, but she had hoped for at least one that wouldnât be insane or murderous. Hugging her knees to her chest, Y/N counted her breaths to calm down. Heeding Edmundâs initial advice would be wise; trying to keep her thoughts bland, maintaining aloof confidence. Not bursting into tears, or trying to hide behind Nadiaâs skirts.Â
Chin resting on her knees, Y/N closed her eyes. She wondered what Meredith and Joseph were up to. In the mornings after breakfast, typically they'd have study and silent prayer in the chapel. Y/N considered herself to be somewhat of an atheist, so usually sheâd daydream while on her knees, eyes glazed over. Meredith would let Y/N lean her shoulder on hers, and Joseph would make sure she wouldnât fall asleep and get punished. Sadness filled her at the thought of her memories. It was likely sheâd never get to see Meredith or Joseph ever again. Too busy wallowing, Y/N jolted in her seat when Nadia appeared in front of her, repeating her name several times.Â
âMiss, the masters have returned. We must greet them outside,â Nadia offered Y/N a thick winter jacket, Y/N audibly gulping. Sheâd run out of time.Â
Heart thundering in her chest, Y/N shrugged into the maroon felt coat, shuffling after Nadia with resignation. It was like the a monarch was coming, countless members of staff hurriedly heading to the front entrance or flying up the stairs with various linens. Deciding to think of only her friends, Y/N replayed scenes of the two of her closest kin harvesting vegetables in the gardens during the summer months. Reading with Meredith by candlelight in dramatic voices. Horsing around with Joseph in the hallways when they were supposed to be dusting statues.Â
Outside, the grounds were clearer to her in the daylight. In the spring, the landscaping was probably breathtaking. Quietly, she stood between Edmundâ the head butler, and Nadiaâ the former giving nothing away regarding their private discussion surrounding the coven. Holding her breath, Y/N watched the large iron gates swing open, the purr of car engines filling the quiet street.Â
Biting back a surprised noise, Y/N supposed she shouldnât have been stunned to see a line of luxury cars pulling into the drive. The first in line was a sleek, vibrant-blue colored sports car, followed by a cushy looking black sedan, two black SUVs, and two more small sports carsâ one in cherry red and the other canary yellow.Â
No one said a word. Y/N counted the vehicles againâ there were only six. Again, she was thinking about the excess of wealth. Would it kill them to share cars? Bouncing on the balls of her feet, the blue sports carâs doors opened firstâ upward, like a spaceship. In succession, the rest of the roaring engines cut off and Y/N stared blankly at the carportâs carved stone ceiling to put off matching names to faces. She hadnât even considered how old they looked physically, were they middle agedâ Christ forbid, were they teenagers?Â
âMaster Seokjin. I trust everything went well?â Edmund bowed deeply, Y/N urgently copying the movement when the butler glanced at her from the corner of his eye.Â
âWhoâs this little girl?â Seokjin ignored Edmundâs question, Y/Nâs eyes on the highly polished loafers that were just in front of her.Â
Y/N finally straightened up to take a look at the vampire in front of her, and all of the oxygen was sucked out of her lungs when the most beautiful face she had ever seen was studying her right back. He appeared to physically be in his early thirties, but the faraway look in his eyes gave away his true ancient age.
Tall, broad, and dressed in an expensive looking suit, the dark-haired vampire had his full mouth twisted into disapproval. With his short, choppy bangs, they gave a perfect view to sculpted eyebrows, a pallor to his flawless skin, and of course, the red eyes narrowing while he waited for an answer. Y/N felt like she had to look away, so her eyes slid from Seokjinâs statuesque face to the second figure disembarking from the blue sports car, the passenger.Â
âThis is Acolyte Y/N, from the local Sanctuary. The AB- donor. She arrived last night,â Edmund bowed again, this time at the second vampire storming up the steps to the front door.
âTake this upstairs, Nadia,â the second vampire, again, an exceedingly gorgeous man, barked. While his voice was rich and smooth like silk, he curled his nose up in a snarl when he spotted Y/N beside her head maid.Â
âYes, Master Namjoon,â Nadia grunted when a briefcase was shoved into her chest, Namjoon scoffing once at Y/N before disappearing into the mansion. Three things Y/N noticed about him: the skinny Asian-style sword strapped to his massive back, the thick leather gloves on his hands, and the air of total hatred coming off of him in waves.Â
âDidnât think sheâd be such a⌠scrap of a thing,â Seokjin sounded bored, almost disappointed she wouldnât put up a strong fight.Â
âThe Sanctuary diets arenât particularly nutritious. Sheâll gain more muscle and mass after a few weeks with our great chefs,â Edmund reassured the eldest vampire, whom Y/N wished would stop staring at her and simply go inside.Â
âMake sure sheâs present for dinner,â Seokjin drawled, lifting an eyebrow at Y/N. Was⌠she for dinner? âI have calls to make. Tell the chefs twelve courses tonight, rich food. The little girl needs more meat on her bones to be of actual use.â
With that, Seokjin brushed past the butler, Y/Nâs head already spinning. Next thing she knew, there were three more vampires stalking towards her and Edmund, Y/N wondering which one was the one that could read her uneasy thoughts.Â
âOh? A little dove!â A borderline childish voice is what caught her attention first, wicked delight coloring his tone.Â
If his eyes werenât so frightening, the grin stretching across the vampireâs face could have been on the cover of a magazine. He flicked his overgrown black bangs out of his face, biting down on his plump lower lip with a sharpened fang. Contrary to the chilly weather, all he wore was a loosely buttoned, thin white shirt, revealing a large strip of his pale bare chest.Â
âJimin, donât get carried away like last time. Youâre always breaking your toys,â One of the others, leaning against a stone column, picked his nails while tsking. That particular vampire wouldnât even spare her a glance, his wavy dark hair curtaining his face. While his body was lean, hands were extremely weathered compared to the rest of his smooth, pushing-30-years-old complexion.Â
Knees wobbling from that remark, the third vampire, who was eyeing every inch of her thoughtfully, noticed the movement with a slight smirk and a narrowing of his feline-like eyes.Â
âAw, that wasnât my fault, Hoseok. Donât listen to him, little dove! Weâre going to have fun together,â Jimin, evidently, pouted, but the effect didnât soothe her when she saw a psychotic glint reflected in his irises. âUgh, I hate traveling. I hope thereâs wine in my roomâŚâÂ
Jimin winked at her as he slunk inside. Rolling his eyes, Hoseok, the most casually dressed so far in a simple dark turtleneck, trailed after, Y/N noticing how sharply cut his jawline was and the geometrically perfect way his nose turned up into the air.Â
âMaster Yoongi, is there anything I can get for you before you resume painting?â Edmund cleared his throat, the long-haired vampire finally stopped smirking at Y/N, shaking his head silently. As soon as Yoongi stopped looking at her, she felt like she could breathe again, her fingertips twitching. âWeâve purchased fresh oil paints, as per your request.â
Wordessly, Yoongi was in her presence at once, and the next, with a blur, he was gone.Â
âVampiric speed,â Edmund murmured, Y/N swallowing thickly. She had forgotten that not only did they have individual powers, but they had strength and speed, as well. Only two more to goâ Taehyung and the mind reader, Jeongguk. âYouâre doing well.â
The driver of the second car that had pulled into the driveway, the black sedan, finally cut the engine. The second SUV, the first of which belonged to Hoseok, had long since been turned off but no one emerged from it.Â
âMaster Taehyung typically likes to take a walk around the grounds after returning from business. Here, however, is Master Jeongguk,â Edmund schooled his features, him and Y/N robotically bowing at the final vampire she was to greet. The mind reader.Â
âHello,â Y/N blurted impulsively, much to her chagrin. The youngest vampire appeared to be around her age, perhaps a year or two older, and besides his ghostly complexion and red eyes, Jeongguk looked remarkably like a human manâ perhaps like Joseph, but far more muscular.Â
âEdmund, Iâm assuming this human is the AB- acolyte?â Jeongguk completely ignored Y/N, which had humiliation pulsing through her body painfully. âLetâs see, you. Look at me.â
Y/N froze, Jeongguk stooping to make his face completely level with Y/Nâs. Suddenly, the grip she thought she had on her thoughts melted away into nothing, and she got lost in the doelike quality of the youngest vampireâs eyes.Â
âTypical, Edmund. Warning her about us? All you did was terrify her,â Jeongguk murmured, his youthful voice but a coo. Y/N knew not to trust it, especially when his chilled index finger jabbed into her cheek. âWhoâs Joseph, AB-? A lover from the Sanctuary?â
Y/Nâs tongue turned to stone in her mouth. Like his covenmates, Jeongguk was extremely handsome, but taunted her coldly. Luckily, she had motor function, shaking her head in the slightest. Tongue probing into the meat of his cheek, Jeongguk stood to his full height, the dark brown trench coat he was wearing hiding just how truly large he was.Â
âYouâre fortunate youâre the only butler available to us. Your head would be on a pike, if it were up to me,â Jeongguk, in a mild tone, addressed Edmund, who simply looked at the vampire placidly.Â
âYes, sir,â Edmund took a leather bag from the vampire, Y/N unable to believe how easy it was for Jeongguk to enter her mindâ her memories pulled from her mind to his in hazy flashes that had her skull throbbing.Â
âY/N,â she flinched when Jeongguk addressed her by name, whipping her head around to watch him stalk up the stairs behind her, wearing a murderous smirk. âWear something pretty to dinner, alright?â
Acid began to crawl up her throat, and when Jeongguk disappeared in almost a mist, Edmund placed a grandfatherly-like hand on her upper arm.Â
âRelax now, Y/N. You did well. Very well. You wonât see any of them until dinner. Returning to your bedroom for now would be wise, Nadia will help prepare you for the meal,â Edmund whispered, gripping Jeonggukâs bag in one of his hands. âHead in, child. Youâve been in the cold long enough. Soak up the warmth, while you can.â
It was a miracle that Y/N didnât make deep dents in the carpet of her bedroom as she paced back and forth. Escorted to her room after meeting six out of the seven vampires, Y/N was left to her own devices that afternoon. Nadia had left her a stack of books to entertain herself before dinner, Y/N thinking that sheâd rather swallow shattered glass than sit at a table with the monsters.Â
Halting, Y/N stood in front of one of the windows, hands coming up to brace herself on the windowsill. The ocean was choppy thanks to a biting wind blowing in from the North, the color of it almost black. Was it too late for her to jump off of the cliff? If she made a run for it, would anyone catch her before she could fall to her merciful death?
Eyes glazed over, her fingernails dug into the flesh of her palms. Suddenly and inexplicably, the hair on the back of her neck stood up, like a cold draft of air swept through the room. Ears picking up movement, Y/N spun around, a startled yelp coming from her mouth at the sight of the figure at her door. One of the vampires actually sought her out, lazily trailing his crimson eyes up and down her form. Tripping backwards, Y/Nâs back was pressed into the icy windowpane. The vampire boldly stepping into the light, Y/N realized who it was before he even opened his mouth.
âBe careful, little dove. It would be a shame if you fell through the glass and cracked that skull of yours open before we even had a chance to play,â Jimin teased, though the taunt was far from an innocent jest.Â
âW-whaââ
âI said, careful. Think about how to speak to me before you stutter out something disrespectful,â Jimin sneered, crossing the room in a split second. Flinching, his face was mere inches from hers, his skin so pale it was almost translucent. His eyes, while certainly red, were sort of a dulled tone, and there was nothing good-natured about his expression at all.Â
âIâm sorry,â Y/N whispered, voice cracking. Jimin seemed to accept the apology, tsking and backing up a degree. Y/N forced herself to remain calm, the vampire pushing up the sleeves to his blouse. His chest was even more exposed than it was before, his muscles seemingly carved from white marble.
âThatâs better, dove,â Jimin hummed, falsely sweet. âYou canât wear those rags to dinner. Juliana!â
Jiminâs voice was sing-songy, the vampire putting his hands on his hips and tapping his foot impatiently. Swallowing with great unease, Y/Nâs palms were slick as she held onto the windowsill. Then, the sound of hurried footsteps flooded into the room, Y/Nâs fright easing a degree when Juliana and several other maids joined her and the vampire in the bedroom. At once, Y/Nâs eyes went owlishly wide, each of the maids carrying brightly colored gowns, stacks of velvet boxes, and more pairs of shoes than she could count.Â
âThe latest fashions⌠Chanel and Dior, Cartier jewelry. Fashion design has come a long way these last few centuriesâ not bad for a bunch of humans,â Jimin seemed like he was talking to himself, plucking a heavy looking necklace up from the open case Juliana was holding. Y/N still couldnât get over the childlike lilt to his voice, paired with the unsettling confidence he carried, cautiously returning eye-contact when he sauntered towards her.Â
âDressing your new doll, Jimin?â Hoseok appeared in the doorway, Jimin still entirely focused on getting Y/N pinned to the window. The older vampire had a bottle of liquor in his grasp, an amused smirk on his face. Y/N felt ill.Â
âRubies suit her, donât you think, Hoseok?â Jimin bit down on his lip with a fang, like he did earlier. Then, his voice took on a silky tone, an index finger curling in her direction. âCome here, dove.â
Y/N didnât want to comply, but after nearly a heartbeat, everything in her body was telling her that it was okay, more than okay, to get close to Jimin. She wanted to, needed him, it felt like she could hardly breathe. In a darkened corner of her mind, Y/Nâs rational self realized Jimin was using Hypnosis on her, and there was nothing she could do to resist his his call. Moving on autopilot, Y/N almost stumbled over her feet to close the distance between herself and the vampire.Â
With a satisfied, wicked grin, Jimin tilted his head, looking down at her through his dark lashes. Spellbound by his presenceâ how had Y/N gone her entire life without him? Unprompted, she gathered her hair up and held it over her shoulder, exposing her bare neck to the vampire. Excitement flashed through her when Jimin licked his lips, and when his chilly fingers traced along a fluttering vein by the base of her throat, Y/N squirmed in delight. So removed from herself, as if in a trance, she obediently stayed still as Jimin clasped the necklace around her throat. Past the haze, she could hear an amused snort coming from Hoseok watching by the doorframe.Â
âIsnât that nice?â Jimin hummed, adjusting the jewelry so it sat perfectly on her clavicle. Boldly, he tugged at the neckline of her sweater, exposing more of her skin, the strength in his touch stretching out the flimsy wool with ease.Â
âVery obedient, pet. Juliana, get her ready for dinner,â Hoseok snarked, taking a swig from his liquor.Â
Slowly, like roots of a tree pulling up from the earth, the influence Jimin had over her mind and body untangled from her being with a deep ache. Different from the throbbing, disorienting pain that filled her brain when Jeongguk infiltrated her thoughts, Jiminâs affect gripped her entire being as if her bone marrow was bruising. With a whimper, Y/N staggered to the side, Juliana promptly righting her by one of her arms. Jimin had used his vampiric speed to join Hoseok at the door, winking at Y/N trying to catch her breath.Â
âHere, Katie. Make the human a pre-dinner cocktail. She looks like sheâs going to suffer from a paranoid break. I abhor hysterics,â Hoseok loudly placed his glass bottle of booze on one of Y/Nâs nightstands, addressing an older woman who was holding several silky dresses in her arms.Â
With that, the two vampires shut the door behind themselves, the sounds of their expensive shoes marching down the hallway, leaving Y/N to figure out what just happened. The necklace around her throat felt like a ten-pound weight, and if the room wasnât full of maids who acted like nothing happened, she would have ripped it off and pelted it at the bedroom door. Noise buzzing around her, rustling of skirts, the only thing that kept her on her feet was Julianaâs arm slung around her lower back.Â
âAlright, Miss, letâs get started on your bath,â Juliana said airily, Y/N feeling a single tear slip down her cheek, which she hurriedly swept away with her sweater sleeve before anyone caught it. âI have the most lovely hairstyle in mind for you. Master Jimin seemed to like that necklace on you, so weâll pick something red to go with it.â
Y/N was astonished. Juliana was in the room when that whole interaction happened, was she not? Did she not see how Jimin hypnotized her, and was she not disturbed by it? Perhaps it was something only Y/N and the two vampires could sense happening, but Y/N had never felt more vulnerable and alone. Hollowly, she let Juliana herd her into the bathroom, sitting on the closed toilet seat, she wasnât fully listening to the maid, tracing her fingers over the polished stones around her neck.Â
âThe chefs have been working so hard today on the meal, itâs going to be wonderful, Miss Y/N! I helped the executive chef select ingredients at the finest market in town,â Juliana tested the water coming from the bathtubâs tap, pouring various vials into the water. âI picked up some moisturizing rose oils, bubbles, and powdered milk for the bath. I even managed to find dried flowers, which is rare for this time of year. Come, Iâll wash your hair for you.â
âH-huh?â Y/N squeaked, not wanting to strip her clothes off in front of somebody else.Â
âItâs quite alright, Miss. Weâre your personal maids, there is no reason to be bashful,â Juliana insisted, keeping her eyes low, but helping Y/N to her feet. Too afraid to protest, Y/N stood statue-still as the maid carefully removed the necklace Jimin put on her and handed it off to another nameless maid. âHave you ever heard of a spa day? Think of it as that!â
âSpa day?â Y/N repeated stupidly, blushing furiously when she was left in just her brassier and the scrap they called underwear. Juliana turned, allowing Y/N to remove her undergarments and get into the mass of perfumed bubbles piling up in the tub. âNever heard of that⌠is that a holiday?â
âNo, Miss,â Juliana giggled, her cheeks pink with merriment. âYouâll just enjoy some beauty treatments. Itâs been a while since weâve gotten to do things like this, so youâll have to forgive us if we go overboard with spoiling you.â
Dumbfounded was the only word for how Y/N felt. At that point, she was going to get whiplash from being treated like a princess by the staff at one moment, and like a toy by the vampires the next. Bitterly, Y/N came up with the hypothesis that the reasons she was getting âspoiledâ was either out of pity, or that the vampires wanted their toy shiny and flawless. Katie, the older maid from before, appeared with a crystal glass filled with some kind of bubbling liquid, a slice of a blood-red orange floating amongst real ice cubes.
âAs per Master Hoseokâs request, Miss. Itâs a blood orange rum sour, his favorite,â Katie slightly bowed, a wisp of gray hair falling from her low bun. Alarm bells went off in Y/Nâs head.Â
âBlood?âÂ
âIt simply refers to the color and variety of the citrus, dear. Not actual blood,â Katieâs mouth twitched, like she was trying not to laugh. Y/N took a sniff of the drink, recoiling slightly at the burn in her nostrils. She knew it was alcoholâ something she never tried before.Â
âAlcohol isnât allowed at the Sanctuary. They tell us itâs bad for acolytes,â Y/N felt like a lamb going up for slaughter, unsure and anxious. Warm water was being poured down her back from a cup, where Juliana was slowly soaking the strands of her hair to wash, and it made her shiver.Â
âWell, dear, youâre here now. You may drink as much as you or the Masters deem suitable,â Katie bowed again, whisking away back into Y/Nâs bedroom to select her dinner outfit.Â
If she knew anything about alcohol, it was that it had the ability to steel oneâs nerves. Which was something she desperately needed- so bravely, her eyes fluttered shut and she took a hearty swig of the cocktail. The first thing that washed over her palate was bright, juicy citrus, but when she swallowed, the burn of alcohol made the contents of her stomach sting. Grimacing, she willed herself to drain the glass, wondering when sheâd feel the effects. Gut boiling, she kept her eyes shut as Juliana worked shampoo into her hair.Â
âYou have such pretty hair, Miss Y/N,â Juliana complimented, Y/Nâs cheeks hotâ not just from the compliment. A haze, a pleasant one, had her humming. Was it the way Juliana was massaging her temples, or was it the booze flooding through her system? âAnything else we can get you? Another drink?â
âOkay?â Y/N replied, just a tad bit more comfortable with asking for things. Juliana called out for Katie while she rinsed Y/Nâs hair, the warm water making her sigh.Â
And when she had another drink in her hand, Juliana wrapping a hot towel around her conditioned hair and a third nameless maid using a sandy scrub to slough off flakiness from her years-neglected skin, Y/N started to feel giddy. Maybe things wouldnât be so badâ being pampered sure was nice, and Y/N had always been strong-willed. Edmund was right, earlier; the vampires needed her alive, so they wouldnât dare kill her. To Y/Nâs knowledge, there wasnât another human in the nearest Sanctuaries with blood as rare as hers.Â
It was like she could feel her backbone growing, only peeling one of her eyes open when something odd was gliding up her legs. Cocking her eyebrow curiously, she watched the third maidâ Meiâ use a razor to shave downy hair from her legs. Strange.Â
When she was sufficiently scrubbed, shaved, and presented with oil and lotion to apply, Y/N was left in the bathroom to dry off and slide into a terry cloth robe. Wobbling a little when she got out of the tub, Y/N giggled as she slathered herself with a floral scented lotion, her legs foreignly baby-soft. The cocktails were certainly doing their job, Y/N pinching her cheeks in the mirror and fixing a determined look on her face.
She was always the brave one amongst herself, Meredith, and Joseph. Why should she dissolve into a puddle of helplessness and meek responses? Even though she was being made over into a perfect angel for a group of demons, she held significant power. She didnât need the coven to survive, but they did.Â
With renewed courage, Y/N returned to her bedroom. That time, only Nadia and Juliana remained, both of them waiting for her by the old vanity that was littered with appliances, jewelry, and cosmetics. The sun was starting to set, making the sky a burnt orange over the silver ocean.
âHowâre you feeling?â Nadia smiled at her through the mirror when Y/N sunk down onto the stool, Y/N returning the expression. She thought that might have been the first time she smiled in the previous 24 hours.Â
âRelaxed,â Y/N answered honestly, sitting still while Nadia worked a silky product through her hair. Juliana, however, began selecting various powders and tubes and comparing them to Y/Nâs complexion with a concentrated pout.Â
âFantastic! Iâm pleased to hear,â Nadia seemed to glow, like it was her lifeâs duty to pamper and please Y/N.Â
Lapsing into silence, Y/N stared at her reflection while Juliana began to dust her face with powder, and Nadia fired up a device that seemed to dry her hair. Buzzed, she watched the two maids make her up into a princess that Y/N used to read about with Meredith, her unruly hair manipulated into a pretty style, shimmering ruby gloss being painted across her lips.Â
Once the âhair dryerâ was switched off, Y/N dared to ask a question that popped into her mind when she got to the bottom of her second cocktail in the bath. Rolling back her shoulders, she got Nadiaâs attention while she was sliding a sparkly hair clip into Y/Nâs hair. When the query left her lips, both of her maids' expressions went from merry to grimâ which wasnât encouraging.
âNadia, what happened to the covenâs previous donor?âÂ
âWhere is the human sitting?â Yoongi crossed his arms over his chest, a dull ache all over his body. It had been too long since he had fed on human blood, and his immortal body was feeling the deprivation. âMight I suggest⌠not next to Jimin?â
âWhy, do you want that little girl at your side instead?â Seokjin hardly looked up from the documents he was signing, already seated at the head of the dining room table. âYouâre not the greedy type, Yoongi. Leave that to Hoseok.â
Yoongi curled up his lip into a snarl, but would not offer a retort to the elder vampire. Really, the only one who had the balls and Seokjinâs grace to allow challenging was Namjoon. With a sigh, Yoongi took his usual seat, his fangs aching. Since they returned to the estate, the scent of AB- blood intensified Yoongiâs longing to have a taste of that sample the coven received earlier in the week. Idly, he traced the veins on the back of his handâ usually pale blue, but with the lack of blood flowing through his system, they were nearly dark gray.Â
âWhich documents are those?â
âFrom the UN. They want us to sit in on an Assembly in December,â Seokjin sounded terribly bored, mostly because he was to death. Another human war heâd have to offer expertise on, expertise that would probably be ignored. After all, Seokjin and his covenmates were really only invited out of fear.Â
âWhat a pain in the ass,â Hoseok arrived at the table, collapsing onto the seat beside Yoongi. Kicking his feet up on the polished table, narrowly missing the china that was set there, Seokjinâs pen-scratching stopped. âI hate New York City. Filthy place. Should have burned it down when I still had my ship.â
âWas New York even established when you still had a ship, Captain Morgan?â Seokjin snarked, staring once pointedly at the bottle of rum in Hoseokâs hand, and then at his boots on the table. âPut your feet down, now.â
Hoseok rolled his rust-colored eyes but obeyed, knowing not to anger Seokjin unless he wanted Namjoon to use his âgiftâ on him. Taking a swig of the rum, Hoseok frownedâ the longer he went without human blood, the duller his taste buds got. He only tasted a flat note of cinnamon, not even the sting of the liquor. Hopefully, heâd get a taste of the mousy acolyte that night.Â
Snapping his fingers sharply, a staff member appeared out of the shadows to take the signed documents from Seokjin. With mild annoyance, he checked his watch for the time; he told Nadia, the humanâs maid, to have the girl at the dinner table at 8 PM sharp. Nadia still had ten minutes before her life was in danger. Seokjin couldnât stand humans who couldnât follow simple directions.Â
âIs twelve courses really necessary? Weâll be here for hours,â Hoseok complained, mostly because heâd have to hear the chefs drone on and on about the ingredients of each dish and the beverage pairing that went with it.Â
âYou saw how pathetically frail that human was. If she is to serve us, she needs to gain weight,â Namjoon thundered into the room, his tread heavy and confident. He sat closest to Seokjin, on the left, his expression made of stone. Again, Hoseok rolled his eyes.Â
âI agree. With just a few gulps, I could drain the little dove dry,â a melodious voice joined the conversation, Jimin giggling when he sunk into his chair just across from Namjoon. Annoyed with the buttons on his shirt, Jimin tugged the last one free, letting both sides of the garment hang loose.Â
Namjoon set his jaw in warning, already bracing himself for how insufferable Jimin would become with the arrival of the girl. Namjoon thought it was beneath him to interact with humans unless necessary, while Jimin preferred to see just how far he could push them. Jimin simply grinned back at Namjoon, slow and seductive, a muscle pulsing in the elder vampireâs cheek.Â
âControl yourself, Jimin. Youâre on thin ice,â Seokjin leaned back in his chair, his voice airy and high. His voice had even forced Namjoon somewhat stiff. âTaehyung, have you contacted Berwind?â
The owner of the estate the coven currently called home made his entrance, still in his tweed suit from earlier. Taehyung looked exactly like he did in the portrait of himself hanging above the grand staircase. Itâs like time, for Taehyung, stopped in 1869.Â
âWait, why?â Hoseok straightened up, with distaste on his face when Taehyung took the opposite head of the tableâ across from Seokjin. âThat guy is a blowhard.â
âWell, the blowhard might be our newest partner for marine affairs. You want a new ship, do you not?â Taehyung pointed out blandly, rubbing the grayish veins over his temples. âWeâre going to have to host a party soon. He wonât agree to anything unless we get a selection of acolytes and fine wine.â
âShe has five more minutesâŚâ Seokjin murmured to himself, secretly wishing Nadia would give him an excuse to blow off steam. âWhere is Jeongguk?â
âHyung,â Namjoon cleared his throat to get Seokjinâs attention, pointing to the door leading into the butlerâs pantry.Â
Jeongguk emerged, his hands shoved into his pockets as a very sheepish looking set of sous chefs followed him with silver trays.Â
âI donât know why they expected us to eat food when the lack of blood has stolen our sense of taste,â Jeongguk drawled, a chef shakily placing a cordial glass in front of Seokjin.Â
It contained the remainder of the AB- sample, the acolyteâs blood. The glass was hardly on the table before Yoongi snatched it up, draining it in one go. Anything to relieve the ache. Even after five hundred years, Yoongi could never get used to the feeling of being starved.Â
âSo sorry, Masters,â one of the chefs bowed, Namjoonâs eyes narrowing. Normally, he would have broken a limb for the forgetfulness, but he didnât have it in him that evening. âHors d'oeuvres will be out momentarily.â
Jeongguk scoffed, glancing curiously when Seokjin started tutting as the youngest vampire began to take his usual spot beside Namjoon.Â
âWhatâs wrong?âÂ
âLeave a space between you and Namjoon-ah,â Seokjin ordered firmly. âThe human will sit between you two, lest she decide to flee the table, you two will be able to restrain her swiftly.â
Jimin pouted, his lips stained with the blood he sipped from his cordial glass. Seokjin was about to get up to deal with Nadia failing to follow his order when every vampire in the room paused, clumsy footsteps hurrying in the direction of the dining room. Covered poorly by expensive perfume was the scent of unease, alcohol, and mortal vitality.Â
âCutting it close, Nadia,â Seokjin purred, the maid blushing as she ushered the young acolyte into the dining room.Â
The girl, dressed in a velvet ruby cocktail dress, fidgeted with the short hem of the garment while gawking at the crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. Her racing pulse was audible and visible; veins fluttering at the base of her throat.Â
âI apologize, Master Seokjin. Iâm afraid Juliana and I got carried away with dressing Miss Y/N for dinner. It has been a while,â Nadia bowed, the human acolyte flinching when Jimin was abruptly at her side. âPlease, enjoy dinner. Iâll take my leave, now.â
âOh, our little dove! Youâre in the Mugler dress, your maids chose so wellâŚ. Matches the rubies perfectly,â Jimin cooed while poking the choker around her neck, the rest of the vampires knowing that there was nothing sweet about Jiminâs approval. Jimin, despite the raised brow from Seokjin that was directed towards him, took up one of Y/Nâs trembling hands, dragging her further into the room.Â
âThank you,â Y/N breathed, intimidated and sounding like she was far from flattered. Jimin delighted in the way her body completely locked up with his touch, her palm slick with perspiration.Â
Stumbling in her heels, Y/N had no choice but to be escorted to the table by Jimin, her large eyes widening when she realized who she was to be seated between. Pulling out her chair like a perfect gentleman, Y/N snatched her hand back as soon as she tumbled onto the velvet cushion. Jimin didnât seem to care, simply smirking, stalking back to his own place at the table. There was a pause, Y/N glancing around the room at both the fine decorations and the vampires, fingers still twitching at her dress hemline. It was likely she hadnât worn something so revealing before.Â
Y/N blinked when her sight landed on one of the heads of the table, the vampire in the portrait on the staircase staring back at her blankly. He looked precisely like he had in the painting, down to the light-colored suit. Sure, his face was a bit more drawn and he was much paler, but it was almost like he stepped out of the canvas like a realm-walker.
Nervously, she peeked to the left, where Namjoon was, the vampire taking a sip of a red liquid from a small glass, his leather gloves still on his large hands. He caught her gaze from the corner of his sharpened eyes, Y/N knowing at once what he was drinkingâ far too viscous to be wine, too red, it had to be blood. Whose blood it was, exactly, Y/N hoped sheâd never know.Â
âItâs yours, of course, remnants of the sample. Humans are so dim,â Jeongguk easily read her thoughts, not even having to put in effort to enter her mind. Even with the lack of effort, he could tell Y/N was uncomfortable with him probing around in her skull, the girl wincing and rubbing her forehead.Â
âDo not sap her of energy yet, Jeongguk. She must eat so she can be useful,â Seokjin sighed, still tasting her on his tongue. Though she was malnourished, her blood was still the finest he had tasted in centuries.Â
âWhat were they feeding you at that sanctimonious dump, pet?â Hoseok, still lazily slouching, drawled. Y/N hesitated, not knowing whether or not to reply, making Hoseok grow impatient. âSpeak when spoken to. Articulate.â
âU-uh, um⌠organ meats, mostly. Lentils and kale,â Y/N squeaked, her complexion a touch green.Â
âPoor little dove. How repulsive,â Jimin pouted, the expression teasing.Â
Y/N opened her mouth, fidgeting in her seat, Taehyung watching her mortal movements with fascinationâ they could never quite sit still. Before she could speak again, squirming under the weight of seven ruby gazes, staff members dressed in suits and white gloves came from the butlerâs pantry carrying dishes. One of the staff members was carrying a silver ice-bucket with a bottle of wine, Y/N eagerly waiting for more alcohol to take the edge off. Whatever she had earlier had long since worn off.Â
âGood evening, Masters, Miss Y/N,â a man in a chefâs uniform began, standing beside Seokjin at the head of the table. âTonightâs hors d'oeuvres is oysters rockefeller with Sambuca and garlic-buttered sautĂŠed spinach, paired with Clos des Bouquinardieres Muscadet. Please enjoy.â
Jeongguk laughed when he read Y/Nâs mind trying to wrap around unfamiliar words. Rubbing her forehead again, she stared at the odd thing placed in front of her. As someone poured wine for herâ to her disappointment, only about an inch of liquid splashing into the glassâ she was immensely curious about the seashell placed delicately on a tiny plate, containing something breaded within.Â
âNever had seafood before?â Hoseok raised a dark eyebrow, ignoring the oyster and going straight for his wine.Â
âThis is seafood?â Y/N blurted, Jimin finding her innocence quite entertaining. She was like a young girl heâd write as his heroine in one of his tragedies. Hoseok, however, glared at Y/Nâs failure to answer his question. âIâve just had t-tuna before⌠M-master Hoseok.â
âMaster! Look at that, the pet is already learning her place,â Hoseokâs laugh was boisterous, bouncing off of the great walls, a thin whimper leaving from the back of Y/Nâs throat. Namjoon had heard whimpers like that millions of times: pure, involuntary fear. It made him smile behind the rim of his wine glass.Â
âEnough. Eat,â Seokjinâs voice was a hiss, plucking up the small fork specifically for shellfish. âYoongi. I want you to get in touch with some artists in Italy. Weâll invite them here when we host Berwind, you know how much he loves being in the company of talent.â
Yoongi chewed the oyster thoroughly, relieved that he could actually taste the flavor after just a small sip of the acolyteâs blood. All of the painters Yoongi once knew, the ones he actually wished could be present during a party, were long since dead and gone. Heâd have to write to modern artists, who would be frothing at the mouth for an opportunity to meet Yoongi. What a bore.Â
âIâve seen Gianluca Traina, his work isnât half-bad. I can reach out to him and Agostino Iacurci,â Yoongi leaned back, letting a staff member take his plate. His hands itched to paint, loathing that heâd have to sit through eleven more courses. In particular, as he watched the young human girl cautiously raise a fork to her mouth, he wanted to capture how she looked when she tasted a flavor brand-new to her. âTheyâre no Boticelli or Michelangelo, though.â
âToo bad your mentor wasnât turned,â Namjoon spoke up, though Yoongi knew Namjoon really didnât care one way or the other.Â
âDa Vinci would have hated the modern age,â Yoongi muttered nonchalantly, Namjoon scoffing at the name-drop. Not that the human would have known who the artist was, Namjoon confirming that she had no idea who Leonardo da Vinci was when she peered at Yoongi vacantly, draining her wine glass with a shaky grip.Â
Y/N felt the wine burning in her stomach, stuck between relieved that she was being ignored for the moment and filled with anticipation for the next time the attention would be on her.Â
âNext we have the amuse-bouche. Pickled baby beets with herbed goat cheese, candied kumquats and basil chiffon. With it we have Sancerre.â
The chef reappeared, the next small plate and glass of wine placed before Y/N. The food, so far, were like works of art, and Y/N almost felt bad eating it. Especially when she thought about the bland, mushy pile of goo her fellow acolytes at the Sanctuary were picking at while she ate like a queen.Â
Mercifully, all the vampires talked about for quite some time was the event they were planning for the following week, and they left Y/N alone. Her guard was not coming down any time soon, so she stayed quiet as a mouse through each course.Â
Acorn squash soup garnished with pepitas, purple radish microgreens and sage oil with prosecco. Native lobster, roasted heritage carrots, carrot puree, buttermilk puree, spiced crumb and chardonnay. Kale and brussels sprout salad with maple-candied pecans, honeycrisp apples, pomegranate and lemon vinaigrette with sauvignon blanc. Ingredients, flavors, and textures Y/N never even dreamed of before. By the time she stuffed the last slice of apple from her salad into her mouth, Y/N was already feeling quite satiated, and the wine was dizzying up her head. Or perhaps it was Jeongguk still fishing though her mind.Â
âSeven more courses, human. Donât think you can leave this table before then,â Jeongguk reminded her mildly, her suspicions confirmed. Thankfully, she caught herself before she could grumble at him.Â
âTell me, little girl. Did you spend your entire life in that Sanctuary?â Seokjin asked, curious about how much she knew about vampires. That, and he was concerned about her purity; though judging by her innocence, he didnât predict that to be too much of a problem.Â
âNo, Master Seokjin,â Y/N replied, apprehensive towards a round of questioning.Â
âElaborate.â
Swallowing, Y/N glanced down at the fish that was just delivered to her, stomach turning. She found it hard to look at any of the vampires for too long, but Seokjinâs face was so hauntingly beautiful, it hurt to look at.Â
âI was brought to the Sanctuary ten years ago, when I was fifteen. I grew up on the outskirts of town and was raised by my grandmother. When she passed away, I drifted until I was caught by wardens who were testing humanâs blood types on the street.â
âIâve noticed those vans around town. Wardens drive them around looking for new acolytes,â Jeongguk remarked helpfully, when Hoseok looked distantly confused.Â
âYou have the rarest blood type in the world. How is it that you were not immediately sent to a Sanctuary upon your birth? It is the law,â Seokjin was frowning, extremely annoyed. Fifteen years of alluding a system set up so meticulously led him to believe sheâd be wayward.Â
âI was born off of the grid, not in a hospital. My grandmother faked my blood results later on, when we were visited by Sanctuary wardens,â Y/N spoke softly, too afraid to raise her voice. She didnât like the sharpened edge to Seokjinâs tone.Â
âI donât understand how an elderly woman could have pulled that off,â Hoseok said, his mouth flattened into a line. âWhat happened to your parents, pet?â
Y/N flinched, reluctant to give up a vulnerability to the predators. She knew she wouldnât be able to conceal her thoughts, however, with Jeongguk still prying into her head. With the fish cleared away, a roasted chicken was put in front of herâ this time, with a glass of red wine. Before answering Hoseok, she sucked down the velvety liquid.Â
âMy mother died in childbirth, I never knew her. Apparently my father was just a fling, I didnât know him, either. It was just me and grandma,â Y/N pushed a strand of pasta around on her plate, doodling shapes with the tip of her fork in the creamy sauce.Â
âThe little dove is an orphan. How tragic,â Jiminâs excitement was paramount. There was nothing he loved more than a heroine with an illâfated past. Y/N was disturbed by the twinkle in his eyes, barely able to finish the rest of her chicken.Â
âUm, itâs alright. You canât really miss what you never knew,â Y/N spoke impulsively, like she was talking to Joseph or Meredith rather than seven vampires who were effectively perfect, lethal strangers.Â
âAdorable,â Jimin gushed, licking his lips. Yoongi, beside Jimin, pinched the bridge of his nose, exasperated with Jiminâs theatrics. It came naturally to Jimin, being a writer of dramas and screenplays, so Yoongi couldnât actually fault him for it, but it was dreadful to withstand.Â
Blood rushed to Y/Nâs face, the three youngest vampires in the dining room becoming coiled and ready to pounce. Seokjin simply held up his hand disinterestedly, a silent order for the fledglings to get control of themselves.
âOh! Whatâs this?â Y/N had become incredibly loosened up thanks to the seven various wines she tasted over the course of the evening, cocking her head at the small silver dish placed in front of her.Â
âMiss, itâs a lime sorbet with mint to cleanse the palate before the second main course,â A staff member poured a bubbly wine into a skinny flute for her, presenting a miniature spoon for Y/N to use.
âSor-betâŚâ Y/N repeated slowly, scooping up some of the treat, the iciness washing over her tongue bizarre and making her audibly exclaim. A frozen sweet wasnât something she was able to have at the Sanctuary, and it brought a tear to her eye.Â
âThey brought out the Dom Perignon, what do they think, we have the Pope here?â Hoseok lifted his champagne flute to his face, watching the bubbles dance in the glass.Â
âIs it expensive?â Y/N dared to ask, a distant part of her screaming to shut up. Hoseokâs expression darkened when she addressed him, so she instantly corrected herself. âMaster Hoseok.â
âTaehyung will only drink expensive wines. That champagne you so hastily gulped down is the most expensive vintage wine that money can buy, pet,â Hoseok smirked, Y/N becoming embarrassed that she did, in fact, knock the drink back.
âYou paint me as a snob,â Taehyung frowned, earning a dry chuckle from Jeongguk.Â
âTake a look around this place, for Christâs sake. Of course youâre a snob,â Jeongguk remarked, gesturing around the lavish dining room they were seated in.
Y/N was positively stuffed. In fact, she clasped a hand over her mouth when a rack of lamb and rice replaced her empty sorbet dish, not wanting to eat another bite. She felt if she did, the velvet dress she was in would rip open.Â
âYou will eat it all,â Seokjin barked when Y/N made no motion to pick up her fork, the sound making her flinch into Namjoonâs thick shoulder. The vampire stiffened, a disgusted look on his face, Y/Nâs skin flashing with heat. âYou will eat it, or Iâll allow Jimin to go over there and force-feed you.â
That threat terrified Y/N, Jiminâs grin widening when she caught his eye. Without another second spared, Y/N began cutting through the meat, much to Jiminâs disappointment. With a bereft sigh, Jimin leaned on his elbows, craving some trouble he could stir up.Â
Diligently, Y/N picked her way through the final courses, nearly gagging on the rich chocolate truffles that ended the meal. She was laughed at againâ that time by Hoseok, when she asked if she could really eat the âgold leafâ dusted on top of the dessert. The final drink that was offered was an espresso âmartiniâ, which is what careened Y/N out of tipsiness and straight into dizzy intoxication. Giggling for no particular reason, Y/N started folding her napkin into different shapes, forgetting who her company was.Â
âSheâs a pretty little dove, isnât she?â Jimin held his face in his hands, ravenous even though he had plenty of human food in his stomach.Â
âThose words are familiar,â Jeongguk deadpanned, Yoongi spotting where things were going a mile away.Â
âI bet sheâd look pretty all drained, too. Like the last girl,â Jiminâs voice was dreamy, and it was fortunate that Y/N was too distracted by her cocktail to pick up on what he was going on about.Â
âWatch it,â Jeongguk warned, not wanting to end the evening with Jiminâs dramatics.
âOh, come now, Jeongguk⌠donât you want to pin her down, fangs in her throat?â Venom flooded into Jiminâs mouth, watching Y/Nâs pulse fluttering at the base of her throat. âWe could always find another, too, after we drain her. You take a wrist, Iâllââ
âNamjoon-ah,â Seokjin interrupted quietly, looking up towards the chandelier. The whole table went silent, Jiminâs mouth slamming shut, regret all over his sculpted face. With a grunt, Namjoon stood from his seat, slowly stalking around the table.Â
Y/Nâs attention towards the vampires was recaptured when she noticed Namjoon, eyes dark and determined, approaching Jimin. The silence deafening, Y/N watched curiously when Namjoon bent low, face close to Jiminâs. Even Y/N could sense Jiminâs fear, and it made her instantly nauseous.Â
Namjoon gripped Jiminâs sculpted jaw, his gloved hands rough against Jiminâs skin, and for a moment, Y/N thought Namjoon was going to kiss the younger vampire. Narrowing his eyes, Namjoon squeezed Jiminâs jaw, Jimin going absolutely rigid when they made eye contact, the martini glass Jimin was holding shattering in his grasp. Horrified, Y/N watched Jimin shake, eyebrows scrunched up in agony, and she realized Namjoon was using his âgiftâ on Jimin. For what, she wasnât sure, but it was terrifying that he could inflict so much pain on even a vampire.Â
âEnough,â Seokjin called, Namjoon releasing Jiminâs jaw at once, and the younger vampire gasped for breath, his body sagging over the table. âI told you you were on thin ice, Jimin.â
âSorry,â Jimin heaved, only apologetic because he had to suffer from Namjoonâs Pain Illusion. The sensation of being burned alive was unbearable, but he didnât regret what he said. Besides, it was trouble that he was craving earlier.Â
âNo youâre not,â Namjoon hissed, Y/N unable to process how scary Namjoon looked, standing beside Seokjin with his arms crossed. Y/N swore to herself, in that very moment, she would do everything in her power to avoid Namjoon using Pain Illusion on her.Â
âCan we wrap this evening up now?â Yoongi asked, peeved. He wanted to isolate, to paint. Â
âNot yet,â Seokjin twirled an empty wine glass contemplatively, his eyes then on Y/N. âCome here, little girl.â
âW-what? Why?â Y/N asked with dread, still nauseous. Seokjin clicked his tongue, agitated.Â
Come here, little girl.
That time, Seokjinâs voice was in her head rather than out loud. Forgetting that he could use Compulsion, she felt her skin crawling hearing his dulcet tones inside of her head. Staring at her expectantly, Y/N was frozen in her seat. Seokjin snapped his fingers, and Namjoon rounded the table again, hooking one of his gloved hands under Y/Nâs bicep. Roughly hauling her to her feet, she was effectively dragged to the head of the table, Y/N starting to hyperventilate and panic. Namjoonâs grip was bruising, her skin smarting when he let her go.Â
Sit.Â
Seokjinâs voice in her mind was firm and authoritative, spreading his legs expectantly. Y/Nâs eyes bugged out of her headâ there was no way on Godâs green planet she was sitting on that vampireâs lap. Still borderline hysterical, she did the only thing she could think of: beg and plead.Â
âP-please, please. Donât hurt me,â Y/N had a tear running down her cheek, Seokjinâs expression hardening at the sight.Â
Sit down.
Suddenly, Y/Nâs spine went rigid. Seokjinâs mental suggestion didnât seem so bad, then. Even though she was still crying and breathing heavily, her body moved on its own, lowering herself onto one of Seokjinâs thighs. The power of his suggestion, his Compulsion, was impossible to override, so embarrassingly, she was perched on Seokjinâs lap. The vampire curled a hand around her waist, his hold ironclad, to keep her in place. Panic setting in further, Y/N continued to beg the eldest vampire pathetically.Â
âPlease, Iâm begging you,â Y/N whimpered, Seokjin setting his wine glass down and tracing his fingers over a steak knife beside it.Â
âJeongguk, Taehyung,â Seokjin sighed, exhausted. The little girl was proving to be difficult, so heâd need some persuasion to keep her quiet. Confused, Y/N looked at Jeongguk, more tears slipping down her face when she felt him worming her way into her memories.Â
âI do not know if youâre aware how a coven operatesâŚâ Seokjin began, Y/N finding it hard to focus on his voice while Jeongguk was in her head. âBut as the head of the coven, I must be the first to bite you. However, my covenmates⌠theyâre starving.â
Chest heaving, Y/N hated the sturdy feeling of Seokjinâs chest pressed against her back. He was cold, plucking up the steak knife and totally indifferent to her hysteria.Â
âY/N, itâs okay!â A familiar, cheery voice had her head snapping in an opposite direction, pure amazement washing over her at the sight of the person across the table.Â
It was Joseph, from the Sanctuary, dressed in his usual white linens and grinning at her. The sight of him had her tears drying up, even if she had no idea how her friend had gotten there. She didnât even notice he had taken the spot that Taehyung once sat in.Â
What Y/N wasnât aware of was how Joseph managed to arrive at The Breakers. It was simple: Jeongguk found memories of Joseph in the acolyteâs mind, Seokjin pried the image of Joseph from Jeonggukâs report, and sent it to Taehyung, who then Glamored himself as the acolyteâs friend. The visual of her former friend was enough to have Y/N calming down somewhat, Taehyung keeping up the act by using words that âJosephâ would.Â
âI bet that meal was a lot better than the Sanctuary slop. We had canned tuna tonight.â
âJoey? How did you get here?â Y/N breathed, watching Joseph (Taehyung) push a hand through his dark curls, one of his common habits.Â
You are going to be calm while I do this.Â
Seokjinâs voice, a sirenâs call in her brain, told her. She wasnât entirely focused on the vampire whose lap she was sitting in, hardly aware that he was holding onto her wrist with a cold hand. All of her panic went away instantly, melting on Seokjinâs lap, limp for him.Â
âJust visiting. Actually, itâs really nice here, isnât it?â Joseph replied, Taehyung wondering just how close the two of them were as he saw Y/N through Josephâs eyes.Â
âI-I guess?â Y/N answered, still staring at her friend in disbelief. She froze when she felt something cold and sharp against her wrist, looking down to see that Seokjin had the steak knife against her skin. âWait, what are youââ
âY/N, I think youâll be happy!â Her friend interrupted, distracting her. Taehyung inwardly smirked at how easy it was to fool her.Â
âH-how? Ah!â Y/N yelped, Seokjin dragging the knifeâs blade across her flesh, cutting into the skin. A three inch long gash was created, blood immediately spilling down her palm, Y/N out-of-body when Seokjin placed her wrist over the empty wine glass.Â
âLook at me, Y/N. Itâs alright. Hey, remember when we used to weed the garden together and see who could pull out the most dandelions?âÂ
âUh-huh,â Y/Nâs voice was far away, somehow relaxed in Seokjinâs arms and talking to her friend even though her wrist was just slit. Joseph was right, it was alright, everything was okay, and sheâd be fine. âYouâd always win.â
âThatâs right, squirt. You could never beat me.â
His nickname for her had a stab of pain rocking through her. It really was Joseph!
âJ-joey,â Y/N began, feeling lightheaded from the blood flowing from the gash on her wrist. âWhat were you trying to tell me when they took me away?â
Joseph seemed puzzled, Taehyung unfortunately not having an answer. Thinking on his feet, he composed himself, leaning forward, and came up with a response the girl would likely be satisfied with.Â
âOh, I said that Iâd write to you every week. That Iâd never forget you.â
Y/N didnât reply, her expression wiping blank. Taehyung didnât know if that was a good thing or a bad thing. Surprisingly, Jeongguk couldnât even decipher what she was thinking when he probed into her skull. All he felt coming from the girl was deep remorse.Â
Then, Seokjin lifted her wrist again. Trembling, she turned to get a look at his perfect face, gasping sharply when the vampire brought her hand close to his face. Full lips parting, his tongue dragged along the cut he made on her wrist, and Y/N gawked in awe as she watched Seokjinâs eye color go from rusty to deep, dark red.Â
âVampire venom can cauterize wounds,â Taehyungâs low voice rang out, and when Y/N turned her head, Joseph was gone and Taehyung had returned to his seat. It was then that she realized she had been deceived, and her heart dropped. Joseph was never truly there, it was Taehyung Glamoring himself to make her docile.Â
âPass it around,â Seokjin spoke from behind her, his grip likely leaving a deep bruise on the small of her waist while Namjoon reached for the wine glassâ nearly full to the brim with her blood.Â
With horror, Y/N watched Namjoon take a deep gulp from the glass, color returning to his skin which took on a golden tone. His eyes, too, became richer in color, and in a daze, Y/N was still as the glass made its way around the table, each of the vampires seemingly coming back to life as soon as her blood touched their lips.Â
Stay still, little girl.Â
Seokjin, still ordering her around mentally, started to gather her hair in one of his fists, pushing it over her shoulder to expose the column of her neck. Helplessly, all Y/N could do was squeeze her eyes shut, knowing what was coming.Â
A pair of cold, but plush, lips parted against her throat, the eldest vampire collecting her in his arms firmly as razor-sharp fangs brushed her skin. Gripping the edge of the dining table, she shrieked when she felt Seokjinâs fangs sink into her neck.Â
There was a stinging sensationâ probably the venomâ but a head-to-toe pain flooded through her all at once. It was repulsive to feel Seokjinâs temperature immediately heat up, his chest becoming warm like a humanâs, all because of her blood flowing into his mouth. Unable to move due to his supernatural strength keeping her caged, she felt hot tears pouring down her cheeks while Seokjin latched onto her. The recognizable sensation of blood leaving her body, the sensation she hated more than anything, was intensified now that it was literally being sucked out of her.Â
âPlease,â Y/N wheezed, broken. Everything was spinning, and her vision was dimming.Â
Finally, Seokjinâs fangs retracted, the girl like a rag doll in his lap when he used his tongue to stop the bite from bleeding further. Though she was slight, simple, and weak, her blood was life-giving, and some of the best blood he had ever tasted. The emotion he was feeling, using the back of his hand to clean up the trail of blood dripping down his chin, was comparable to human amazement that he hadnât felt for over eight hundred years.Â
Y/N was completely shaken. Over the course of several minutes, she was manhandled and maimed, deceived and manipulated, and bitten. It was more horrible than she ever could have imagined, her head fuzzy and the side of her throat throbbing painfully.Â
Get up.Â
Seokjinâs voice haunted her, and she never wanted to hear it again. She knew, however, it was just the beginning of him residing in her mind, and it made her want to use the bloodied steak knife he used on her to cut her own throat. His mental suggestion was so powerful that she actually ended up struggling to her feet, finally out of the eldest vampireâs proximity.Â
âWhat did I tell you all? Sheâs a good little pet,â Hoseok, the picture of vitality with her blood in his system, chuckled, Y/Nâs knees buckling before she collapsed on the floor.Â

Perfection | Jin x Reader
Pairing: Vampire Jin x ReaderÂ
Word Count: 16k
Series: (6/7) Predator Universe
Warnings: 18+, NSFW, Yandere, Obsession, Fear, Non-Consensual Kissing, Non-Consensual Touching, Dub-Con, Cunnilingus, Breaking and Entering, Symptoms of Panic/Anxiety, Stalking, Depictions of Gore, Blood, Anger Issues, Dismemberment, MC had a fear of death, MC has agoraphobia, but MC is in therapy (good for her), Jin is kind of an asshole but we love it, kind of pet-playish(?), Jin is basically a sugar daddy tbhÂ
I do not condone the acts displayed in this story nor do I believe any members of BTS would actually engage in this type of behavior. This is simply written for entertainment purposes and should not be taken as a reflection of my own values, opinions, or morals.Â
Preview: Your eyebrows furrowed as you peered over your shoulder. Sure enough, there were a few dark eyes staring back at you - but there was one pair in particular that really caught your attention. There was a man in a roped-off section of the club, a velvet curtain drawn to the side to reveal him seated on an ornate chair. He looked like a king watching over his people, and you meant that not only because of his position but because of his features as well. It was undeniable that he was the most attractive person in the room, hell, the most attractive person you had ever seen. Smooth pale skin, plush lips in a permanent pout, dark eyes, and the widest set of shoulders with a slender waist. He was a work of art. He had this look on his pretty features as if he had just tasted something bitter, and that look was directed behind you.Â
A/N: I have been working on this fic since July and I am so happy that it is finally done and you guys will be able to read it! I really hope the time this took was worth it and that the fic was worth the hype lol. Itâs almost one thirty in the morning and I have a quiz so I really should be sleeping. I think this is one of my favorite installments of the series! I hope you enjoy the fic and as always I canât wait to see you in my inbox and my comments. Ily đđđ
Kim Seokjin had not only a pretty face but a brilliant mind as well.Â
At least, thatâs what he told everyone.Â
If there was a singular sin that he could fully encompass it would be vanity. And the sin that he shared with nearly everyone in his âfamilyâ was that of pride: a deadly and violent mix. That blend was what led to his damnation.
He knew that he deserved only the best and nothing less, that was exactly how he had been raised when he was still human. In the late 1800s, he had been granted the privilege of being born into high-class society as the eldest son, the heir to the Kim legacy. Everything he wanted was directly at his fingertips and at his disposal. From the moment he was born he was guaranteed power, and that was something he wished to never lose.Â
As the heir to a luxury wine company, it was only expected that alcohol, parties, and lewd behavior were set to follow him, and he exceeded those expectations. But he was good at keeping business and pleasure as two distinctly separate functions.Â
And with the life he lived, it was not often that individuals met his expectations. And by individuals, he meant potential wives. Naturally, it was expected of him to marry and continue the family's legacy. But the gold spoon that he was born with in his mouth tainted the pool. No one was good enough for him and that caused much strife within the family.Â
He was well past the age of marrying at twenty-eight years old. He was beginning to feel the pressure his father and mother were putting on his shoulders. And, not to mention, he was well aware that he was aging. Of course, he would never admit that his looks were fading. There was not a crease in his skin or a gray hair to be plucked, but he could feel it. He could see the minute imperfections that no one else could. It made his skin crawl in disgust.Â
And then Kim Namjoon entered the frame and everything began to come together.Â
His mother had insisted on organizing yet another party to find him a wife under the guise that he was there to make several important business deals. But when the vast majority of partygoers were young women with stars in their eyes he knew what was really going on. And of course, he was not going to stick around and socialize with subpar candidates. If he were going to do that it would be restricted to his bedroom, of course.Â
Namjoon had come to that party that night, Yoongi in tow despite his protests. Namjoon was a cultured man, he liked to mingle with the members of high society from time to time. It helped him learn what was appropriate for the decade as trends (in manners, clothing, and amusement) came and went rapidly. And those who belonged to the upper class were those who set those trends. It was strategic and it helped his kind blend in as seamlessly as possible.Â
And Jin was the epitome of a high-class man.Â
And so, Namjoon and Yoongi befriended him. It hadnât been hard for them, they had been around for so long that they fit right in. And Jin had merely thought he found more of the few people that could meet his high expectations - his small inner circle growing with two new additions. But of course, that friendship had started out with the purpose of using Jin for what he had.Â
So in turn, he used them.Â
While Jin had a pretty face, he actually was quite smart and observant. He took note of his companions' odd behavior. He never saw them during the daytime, only in the veil of the night. They had the oddest colored eyes - not quite black but a deep shade of burgundy like the embers of a smoldering fire laid within their depths. And they were cold, absolutely frigid to the touch like a corpse. It didnât take him very long to piece together what they were, and it was only proven true when he caught the both of them feasting on lifeless corpses in his guest room. He timed everything just perfectly to discover their true nature.Â
Yoongi had seemed genuinely surprised, bloody lips parted in shock as he stood as still as a statue, the limp body still collapsed in his iron grasp.Â
Namjoon, on the other hand, was smiling. He too was not able to conceal his nature any longer but he wasnât trying either. He took his time and continued to finish his meal despite the obvious living human presence in the room.Â
âYou two have been holding out on me,â Jin said with a disappointed tone.Â
âHolding out?â Namjoon echoed before relaxing his arms and allowing the corpse to slip down to the floor, the thinnest drizzle of blood pooling onto the parquet flooring.Â
Yoongi could only stare at the both of them, his eyes darting back and forth between the two other men.Â
âYes, holding out! You are immortal are you not?â
âYes, we are, and Iâm sure youâve figured out the rest by now havenât you?âÂ
âYou may have been able to fool all of those other halfwits but it was painfully obvious to me, of course.â
âOf course.â Namjoon nodded while trying to suppress an amused grin.Â
âI want in, I wish to join you and your kind.âÂ
âNo,â Yoongi immediately cut in, âYou donât know what youâre asking for, this is a curse it is not something to take lightly and flirt with the notion of.âÂ
His tone was harsh, his face stern but there was evident pain behind his eyes. Yoongi had been forced into this life if that was what you could even call it. He couldnât fathom someone willingly agreeing to eternal damnation and he would try his hardest to convince them otherwise.Â
âAre you denying me?â Jin asked, his face contorted in utter disbelief. He was never denied anything in his twenty-eight years of life and the feeling of rejection was infuriating.Â
âYoongi, itâs his decision,â Namjoon interjected, his hand wiping the blood from his mouth leaving a streaky crimson trail behind.Â
âYouâre not actually considering this, are you?â Yoongi hissed.
âWhat is there to consider? Heâs already seen us and he knows what he wants.â
âHe has no idea what he wants!âÂ
âAnd why are you speaking for me? Just because youâre miserable and dissatisfied does not mean the same will be said for me!â Jin spat. âI grow tired of this human body. Every second of every day I feel myself wasting away and there is not a thing I can do about it.â
âYou would throw away your humanity, your life, all in the name of vanity?â Yoongi asked in disbelief.Â
âAnd for greed as well,â Jin laughed, âBelieve me, I am many things and one of them is self-aware. I am a selfish bastard and I am perfectly fine with that. I wonât allow my looks to fade and my fortune will grow as centuries pass. This is what I desire and I refuse to concede.â
He was a businessman in every aspect.Â
âIt sounds like heâs made his choice, Yoongi.â Namjoon finally spoke.
âIt sounds like heâs made an ignorant choice and I refuse to have any part in this,â Yoongi said, storming past the two of them and slamming the door shut with enough force that the mahogany wood cracked by the handle.Â
âSo, are we going to fuck about or will you give me what I want?â Jin asked, his impatience growing.Â
âI consider you a good friend, Jin. I won't lie, I am pleased that you are asking this of me.â Namjoon smiled before grabbing Jinâs shoulder, âWeâre all lonely children looking for a place where we belong.âÂ
Lonely children, that was one way to put it. Namjoon was not entirely wrong. In a world where you deserved only the best, many fell short and in the end, you were painfully alone, whether you were willing to admit it or not.Â
âBefore we go through with this, there are some things you should know.â
âWhat things?â
âYou canât go in the sun, not just yet, youâll be far too young and far too sensitive to light. Quiet, dark, scentless places are going to be the best place to stay - your senses are going to be heightened tenfold. You must feed often in the early years, youâre going to be very hungry, bloodthirsty really so you need to stay away from large crowds of people.âÂ
Jin was silent for a moment, his eyes shifting from left to right and back again as he processed everything he was told. He could manage, and he could figure out how to do all of those things while maintaining his position as an heir.Â
âLastly, do not try and do this alone. In our world, there is strength in numbers as well as safety. Youâll have to stay with me and Yoongi, we will all be bound to one another as creator and creation.â
âSo when you two leaveâŚâ
âYou will follow.â Namjoon nodded, âWe try to stay in one place for as long as we can so if itâs your family youâre worried about youâll have plenty of time to figure something out.âÂ
But they werenât coming with him. As terrible as it was, that wasnât a great enough reason to sway his decision. He still wanted what he desired and he was willing to let his family go. So he stuck out his hand, ready to shake on the agreement.Â
âI accept the conditions.âÂ
~~~~~~~
Most people were afraid of spiders, some of heights, and many feared drowning. But you feared something a bit more abstract and with a bit more finality. You were afraid of aging and by association, you were incredibly afraid of death.Â
And that fear often leads you to do a few things. One of them was to start skincare at an absurdly young age. The other was to hermit yourself inside of your house out of fear of some horrific accident befalling you. And the other was to seek out strange and obscure places to visit before you die. It was odd that the last two coincide but they do.Â
There were days when you were so frightened that you couldnât stand the thought of leaving the comfort of your bed. And then you had days where you felt daring, if you were going to die one day would you really want to have lived your only life trapped inside of your own house? There were your good days and your bad days and they came and went like the tides.
Today was a âgoodâ day. And by good day that meant you were on your laptop scrolling through forums trying to find a new place to visit. Living in a small town was hard, you knew everyone and every place because they were so few in number. But sometimes there were locations in between towns, or hidden spots in your own. Briar Hills is an old town, a historical town even. Itâs not uncommon for places to be abandoned, concrete skeletons collapsing and being devoured by the flora.
It was finding them, buried in hundreds of posts, that was difficult. The teenagers in the town had taken to reclaiming those places, turning them into party spots in the blink of an eye. But that has changed in the past few months. Ever since the first body turned up.Â
That was the thing about small towns, murder was much rarer than the action that cities see. So, when dozens of corpses begin to show up in streams and lakes and people begin to go missing without a trace - panic ensues. As well as a town-wide curfew.Â
Briar Hills turned into a ghost town after dark. The streets would be empty, lit by a few lampposts spread down the street that was easily consumed by a thick, hazy fog. Every now and then the fog would be broken by police lights, red and blue shocks of color dispersing the mist as the night patrol came around the block. It looked like something out of a horror movie.Â
And, if it werenât a good day, the sight alone would be enough to keep you corralled in your room. But it was a good day and you had become stir-crazy from staying in your house for the past few weeks.
After endless scrolling there was one post in particular that caught your attention. It looked like an extravagant invitation with a satin black background and deep red embellishments. It had very little interaction and it was written in a completely different language. For something as obscure as an abandoned place in a small town you werenât surprised that it had gone unnoticed, especially considering few people checked this forum.Â
Putting the text into google translate had not been insanely helpful. The translated text was jumbled and made little sense, it was one of those languages that did not thrive when it came to longer translations. But you were interested and fairly stubborn and after extended research and decoding fragmented sentences you were left with this:
âThe best bite Iâve ever had,â And following that was a set of coordinates that had been written out instead of just using their numerical counterparts.Â
You were interested.Â
What could that mean? Maybe it was some hole-in-the-wall restaurant, but why all the decorum? Why the translations? Who even uses coordinates anymore? The best way to get the answers you desired was to discover them for yourself.Â
Thatâs how you ended up sneaking out of your house, dressed head to toe in dark colors, like some teenager thatâs about to disappoint their parents. Except, in this case, your parents were the cops, and being grounded would equate to being detained for violating the town-wide curfew. All the more reason to not get caught.Â
You started to get cold feet when you realized where the set of coordinates was leading you, your body came to a fast stop when the toes of your boots met the edge of the forest. The forest, at night, with low visibility, and predators prowling was a bad move. That just screamed a sudden and violent death, not to mention the bulk of missing persons' corpses had been found within its depths. This was a stupid idea, a bad move, but it was a good day and you were too stubborn to follow reason. You would make up for it tomorrow by hiding in your bed all day. It was an unhealthy coping mechanism, but a coping mechanism nonetheless.Â
You took a deep breath, squared your shoulders, and took a step forward. There was no going back now, you had made up your mind.
The further into the forest you trekked the quieter it became. It didnât make sense. You were getting further from society so why was it so quiet? The wind was still, not a branch or leaf trembled, and not even a cricket dared to chirp. It was like every living creature had up and left, abandoning their home. The only sound that filled the static silence was the bubbling rush of water from the river.Â
You began to walk faster, your nerves urging you to get where you were going and be done with it. On top of that, your eyes were starting to play tricks on you, your brain attempting to make sense of the dark and fill in what was missing resulting in ominous shadows shifting through the trees. You were regretting your decision immensely, so you picked up the pace and began humming to yourself to fill the silence.Â
If you were being honest, you really had no idea what you were supposed to be looking for. The post hadnât listed much of anything and you werenât sure what would be at the end of the coordinates. But, the red light glowing in the distance was a sure sign of something. It grew more intense as you neared it, the light getting stronger the closer to the ground it was. When you finally pushed through the underbrush you were met with a set of concrete stairs leading down into the ground and at the very bottom was an old metal door with a faintly pulsing red light above it. Looking down at your phone you were able to verify that you had made it to where the coordinates were marked.Â
It was a bomb shelter. It was most likely one for the community back in the forties, an evacuation and safe point for those who didnât have their own. It must have been abandoned and forgotten about after the war, left to rot there for the past eighty years. But if that light was anything to go by, it must have been reclaimed by someone.Â
You carefully stepped down the stairs, applying a little weight at a time to make sure that the concrete hadnât eroded and wouldnât crumble beneath you. When you reached the bottom you tried the door and to your surprise, it opened with a creak. There was a long tunnel just barely lit by candles lining the walls leaving deep shadows in between them. And now you could feel the walls thumping, steadily vibrating with a muffled bass. That meant there was another chamber somewhere.Â
You hesitantly traveled down the tunnel, long stretches of the floor would eventually give way to more stairs leading you deeper and deeper underground. This was a claustrophobe's worst nightmare. The more you walked the harder the walls vibrated until you finally came upon another door where the sounds became the loudest. Above the door hung a purple neon sign that read: âBlood Sugar.âÂ
Upon testing the door handle, you were surprised to find that it was unlocked, and once it slowly swung open your nose was assaulted with the scent of alcohol, sweat, and a coppery odor. You swiftly entered and closed the door behind you, trying your best not to bring too much attention to yourself. But it appears you would have no trouble doing so.Â
The room you had stepped into was massive, the walls were tall and rounded out at the ceiling and were made completely out of metal. But it was far from a barren, abandoned bunker. The room was packed with people, some dancing, some drinking, and others wrapped around one another on the various red velvet chaises spread around the space. The music was loud and the room was lit by antique chandeliers as well as deep purple lighting casting an ominous glow over everyone.Â
The bunker had been converted into a club of some sort and despite the decrepit tunnels you had slunk through to get here, it was surprisingly luxurious. You were honestly surprised the entire town hadnât known about this place. That much was certainly true because, despite the large crowd, you could only recognize about five people you had seen before. The massive gathering was largely that of people that were not from Briar Hills.Â
A set of delicate hands slithered around your waist, tugging you sharply towards the stranger behind you. A shout of surprise parted your lips as you turned around, slapping the offending limbs off of you.Â
There was a tall woman facing you with a grin on her face, her bright white teeth glinting from behind her deep red lips. Her skin was so pale it was glowing with a purple hue from the lights, her long black curls creating an even sharper contrast against her skin. And you couldnât explain why you felt the way you did, but the sight of those bright white teeth had your stomach twisting in knots. Despite her delicate appearance, every red flag was being raised in your body. The urge to run was strong.Â
âHello, sweetheart,â She crooned, âYouâre new, arenât you?âÂ
Something in the back of your mind demanded you lie.Â
âNo, Iâm not. If youâll excuse me,â You said, your voice steady and cold despite the goosebumps on the back of your neck and the rapid thump of your pulse.Â
As you went to walk past her she easily stopped you with a hand on your shoulder, her face suddenly incredibly close as she pressed her nose to your hairline and took a deep breath. âOh, you canât lie to me, I remember every sweet little snack that comes in here.âÂ
What. The. Fuck.
âLook, Iâm not interested inâŚwhatever that means,â You huffed, taking a few steps back and breaking free from her steel grasp, âIâm just here for a drink.â
âOh?â She hummed, âSo am I, Iâm glad we can cut to the chase.âÂ
âOkay?â You slowly asked before shuffling around her imposing figure, âSee ya.âÂ
You slipped into the crowd, forcing your way through the bodies in an attempt to shake her off of your trail. Anybody else in your position would have lingered for the ethereal woman, but you couldnât ignore that feeling in the back of your mind or that tug deep in your gut. She was dangerous, and no pretty smile or sweet words could hide it. It was in times like these that your intense fear of death became present as paranoia, warning you of all potential threats.
When you started therapy you were encouraged to slowly step out of your comfort zone, to do things that would combat your anxieties. So, on good days, you try your best to succeed with these short-term goals hoping in the long run you could live normally like every other person your age. But you often found your anxiety creeping up on you and you knew after tonight you would need the rest of the week to recover and that meant avoidance which meant hiding out in your rented duplex.Â
But for now, you had to cope.Â
When you broke free from the crowd you stumbled forward, a stray limb jabbing you in the back and sending you reeling onto one of the velvet chaises. To your utter embarrassment, you landed right next to a couple that had left all of their inhibitions at the door like many other patrons of the underground club. The woman was straddling the man's thighs, her arms wrapped around his shoulders as he buried his head in the crook of her neck, her long locks obscuring his face. Although you couldnât see what he was doing it didnât take a genius to figure out what it was as the womanâs mouth opened to let out soft moans of pleasure.Â
Heat rushed up to your face as you stumbled off of the chaise and backed up from the voyeuristic lovers. Of course, you weren't innocent, but seeing something like that in person was different from shamelessly reading smut at three AM.Â
A few feet away from the couple was the bar. It was surprisingly empty for a club. The man you assumed to be the bartender behind the countertop was relaxing against it, his dark eyes scanning your awkward posture.Â
You swiftly approached the bar and yelled over the music, âHi, how much is water?â
He gave you an amused chuckle before grabbing a small leather menu and sliding it over to you, âWe donât serve that here, sweetheart.âÂ
You stared at him in confusion before flipping open the menu. The only thing listed there were various wines all costing an exorbitant amount of money, and by that, you meant at least three months' rent and that was just for a glass, not even the bottle.Â
âThese prices are insane, are you kidding me?!âÂ
âTheyâre from 1889, newbie.â He smiled, a grin identical to the woman from earlier.Â
âWell, this was a bust.â You groaned, the initial buzz of excitement from finding a town secret had long since faded.Â
âCan I offer you some advice?âÂ
âBe my guest.â
âYou might want to pay more attention to your surroundings, youâve had eyes on you since you stepped foot in this place.âÂ
Your eyebrows furrowed as you peered over your shoulder. Sure enough, there were a few dark eyes staring back at you - but there was one pair in particular that really caught your attention. There was a man in a roped-off section of the club, a velvet curtain drawn to the side to reveal him seated on an ornate chair. He looked like a king watching over his people, and you meant that not only because of his position but because of his features as well. It was undeniable that he was the most attractive person in the room, hell, the most attractive person you had ever seen. Smooth pale skin, plush lips in a permanent pout, dark eyes, and the widest set of shoulders with a slender waist. He was a work of art. He had this look on his pretty features as if he had just tasted something bitter, and that look was directed behind you.Â
âIf I were you, I would get out of here. Things get crazy with fresh blood, ya know? The people here are like sharks in the water.â The bartender said, regaining your attention. âUh oh, looks like you got one on your trail.âÂ
You followed his and the pretty strangerâs gaze behind you. It was her again, the woman from earlier. She was slipping through the ocean of moving bodies with ease, her gait like that of a jaguar on the prowl as she approached. You watched as her polished fingers wiped away what looked like stray lipstick from beneath her lips.Â
Without thinking you darted away from the bar and past the pretty man, rushing through the first door you found which turned out to be the bathroom. Once the door fell shut you felt like you could relax for a moment. The music was muffled allowing you to think coherently for the first time since you had entered the bunker. Everything had become far too stimulating and you could feel your anxiety rising.Â
You leaned against the sink, turning the water on ice cold before splashing your face so that you could shock yourself back into clarity. You allowed yourself to brace the sink and relax your body, focusing on your breathing and grounding yourself before you lost control, just the way you were taught to.Â
The feeling of ice-cold fingers on your shoulders threw all of your work away.Â
You yelped and flinched, your eyes flying open to see her standing behind you in the reflection of the mirror.Â
âI knew you were a shy little thing, you should have just told me you wanted to do this privately.â She sighed with a sickeningly sweet smile.Â
In a moment of flight, fight, or freeze your body chose for you, your legs running without you telling them to do so. You didnât make it far, not before she grabbed hold of you and threw you up against the wall. Your head hit the tile behind you so hard you saw stars.Â
âIâve been hunting you down all night, youâve made me build up quite the appetite. Do you know how many others Iâve had to threaten to get to you? Everyone always wants to take someoneâs first bite.âÂ
What the fuck was she talking about?Â
âWhile it was cute at first, we've played this game for long enough, donât you think?â
âLet go of me!â You yelled while grabbing her wrists and trying to pry her hands off of you. To your complete and utter shock, she didnât move an inch, it was like her bones were made of iron - immovable and inflexible.Â
âNow, now, donât go throwing a tantrum that wonât get you anywhere.â She sighed, sliding her hand up your shoulder to wrap around your throat and squeeze.Â
Your throat and lungs burned as her grip slowly increased its pressure, your eyes watering as broken gasps and chokes for air gurgled past your lips.Â
âThere there, much better.â She whispered into your ear as she released your throat, your body going limp as you gasped for air.Â
She easily gathered you up into her arms and softly tilted your head to the side, her perfectly polished nails grazing over the stretch of skin as she hummed before pressing her cherry-red lips to your throat.Â
âDonât worry, youâll feel a slight pinch.â She joked before her jaw widened and a demonic hiss left her throat as her teeth grazed the soft flesh of your vulnerable neck.Â
But before she could sink her teeth in she was harshly ripped away from you, her perfect face slammed so hard into the bathroom wall that the tiles shattered upon impact. A loud cry of pain echoed throughout the room as she pulled herself from the wall, black blood was pouring from her crooked nose and her sliced lips.Â
Behind her stood the stranger from before, a miffed and frankly disgusted expression marred his stunning features.Â
âWhat the fuck, Jin?!â She screamed, cupping her injured face.Â
âSheâs not a fang banger, Junghee.â
Her once flawless features froze in shock as a look of horror crawled over her face. It was the look of someone who realized that they had made a horrible mistake.Â
âYouâve really fucked up this time.â He growled in irritation, a genuine growl that had your skin crawling.Â
âWell, how was I supposed to know?! What is she even doing here?!â
âThatâs none of your concern anymore, get the fuck out!â He yelled, ripping the bathroom door open and throwing her out of the room.Â
You stayed pressed up against the wall out of pure terror. Vampires, you had walked into a fucking nest of vampires and had the closest brush with death youâve ever had in your entire life. Your gaze remained locked on the vampire, Jin, as he calmed down; the waves of his rage slowly dissipating. In this lighting, you could finally see what you hadnât been able to before in the dim club. Under the fluorescent lights, his eyes gleamed a vibrant, intimidating red.Â
You winced in fright as he took a step in your direction, your body attempting to meld into the wall behind you. Jin raised his eyebrow in questioning, taken aback by your apprehension. It wasnât often he had humans cowering in fear, usually, they shook fromâŚsomething else.Â
âEnough of that, come along human.â He snapped, grabbing you by your sleeve and easily dragging you from the room despite your protests and your heels digging into the ground. He was pulling you as if you weighed nothing.Â
âLet go!â You shrieked in terror, struggling against his hold with all of your might.Â
He came to a sudden halt, gripping you by your shoulder and pulling your body so close that there was barely an inch of space left between his chest and your own.Â
âDonât you think youâve drawn enough attention to yourself tonight?âÂ
You peered over your shoulder, and sure enough, there were several of his kind watching the two of you from the dance floor. Their stares were curious and hungry. Unconsciously you shifted closer to him, choosing the lesser of two evils, one vampire versus many.Â
âLook at that youâre smart, for a human.â He snickered before guiding you back to the curtained area you had seen him sitting in before Junghee had cornered you in the bathroom.Â
âSit, stay.â He said with a smirk as he pressed you down by your shoulder onto one of the couches before gesturing for someone to close the thick curtains.Â
âLook, I just want to go home. I wonât breathe a word about what happened here or what this place is, it was a mistake coming here.âÂ
âA mistake indeed, but a mistake that needs correcting nonetheless,â Jin said with a distressed roll of his (impressive) shoulders. âSo, tell me human, how did you find this place?âÂ
You sat there in silence for a moment, your face the perfect image of confusion, âAre you being serious right now?â
âI donât recall telling a joke.â
âYou - there was a post online, on a forum? Anyone could have found it if they were looking close enough, it really wasnât that hard to find. All I had to do was translate the text and it told me where to go.â
âAâŚforum?â He repeated, clearly confused.Â
Dear God, he was an old-ass vampire who didn't know much about technology or even the internet. He didnât even know he had advertised the place. He was just an old man in a young manâs body.Â
âYou know, a forum, itâs online, it's where people who want to discuss a certain topic go to. I was looking for obscure places, abandoned buildings, and lesser-known spots in town. I found the posting for this place and it just said âThe best bite Iâve ever hadâ...I didnât know it meant literally.â You said, your nerves leading you to ramble on and on.Â
Jinâs eyes pressed shut, his face contorting in anger as a hiss parted his lips, âJimin.â
Jimin and himself were the only two vampires in their coven that knew about the club Jin hosted. Jin had been careless one night and Jimin had followed him, discovering the secret he had kept well hidden. Jin bought Jiminâs silence initially with limited access to the place, but now he was regretting every interaction he had had with the short vampire.
One of the few times Jin had found himself getting on with said vampire had led him to express his annoyance with the lack of human stock for the club. In turn, Jimin had offered to help âadvertiseâ in exchange for unrestricted access to the club.Â
Now that he had figured out how the little human had snuck her way in, he had to decide what to do with her. He could always kill her, that would be the simple answer. He could drain her dry and snap her pretty neck in an instant. But that wasnât really his style, he typically preferred to savor his meals unlike his gorger of a âbrotherâ, Jungkook.Â
Perhaps the human could serve a purpose for him.Â
âCome, human.â He beckoned with his fingers.
You remained frozen in your seat, your body still in active survival mode keeping your joints locked.Â
Jin sighed, clearly miffed by your disobedience. He rose from his own seat only to cross the room and sit next to you. His long fingers gripped your chin and jerked your head up, forcing you to look at him. His hold was ice cold, the chill from his touch steadily seeping into your jaw. You felt paralyzed by his intimidating crimson gaze. His eyes flicked quickly over your features as he turned your head from side to side, taking in your every pore.Â
âNot bad, for a human. Donât feel too offended, itâs difficult to look as flawless as myself.â He said with a casual tone as if he were merely stating a fact.Â
âYou look pretty average to me,â You blurted out the lie, your lips moving before your brain could stop you from verbalizing.Â
It was so fast you almost couldn't see it but it was there, his left eye twitched and his grip tightened forcing a slight whine of pain from you. He roughly jerked your head to the side, choosing to ignore what you said despite how much it clearly bothered him. Instead, he trained his focus on your neck, pulling the collar of your shirt down past your collarbone.
âSmooth,â He observed, his icy touch skipping over the skin of your throat, âJunghee didnât sink her dirty fangs in you after all, thatâs good.âÂ
Without warning he leaned down, his nose skimming over your neck as he breathed in, flooding himself with your scent. His grip tightened as you yelped and tried to jerk away from him in fear that this time you would surely die at the hands of a mythical creature, a monster in the flesh.Â
You squeezed your eyes shut as you felt his plump lips brush your throat, his cool breath fanning over the skin and leaving goosebumps in its wake. His actions were reminiscent of a wine connoisseur, the way they studied the body of the wine and the aroma. He was assessing you - attempting to decide if you would make a good meal, that you were certain of.Â
You jerked as you felt him bury his face further into your neck. You could feel the slight flutter of his eyelashes against your skin as a groan parted his lips.Â
âWell, donât you smell delicious?â He crooned, his tongue swiping over his lips and just barely ghosting over your throat. âI think that we can come to an agreement, does that sound nice?âÂ
âWhat,â You paused to clear your throat, âwhat did you have in mind?âÂ
âIâm glad you asked,â He said with a wink after pulling back from you, âYou see, I think we could mutually benefit from one anotherâs company. While breaking your pretty little neck would certainly be the easiest way out of this problem, I do find you quite amusing, pet.â
Your body grew stiff as your mind conjured up the image of his strong hands severing your vertebrate in one smooth pull, your body falling limp and lifeless on the clubâs floor. Your greatest fear was death and Jin was death incarnate. He could very easily take your life if he so desired and he was making that very clear. He cared not whether you lived or died but only if your presence benefitted him in some manner. Your life was inconsequential.Â
âVery few people meet my standards but you are very lucky, I have a rather refined palette and it just so happens you meet said standards. So, I would like to propose a business arrangement. You will be my sole donor and keep those pretty lips sealed about everything you have witnessed tonight and in turn, you get to keep your life.â
âAnd if I donât agree?â You dared to ask.Â
A sneer marred his perfect face, his fingers gripping your chin and forcing you to look at him in his blood-red eyes.Â
âThen your pathetic human life ends right here, right now.â He said, his hand slipping down your jaw to loosely wrap around your throat. He could feel your pulse steadily thumping against his hand causing his mouth to involuntarily pool with saliva, hunger twisting in his gut.Â
Your breath hitched, fear slicing down your spine like a violent chill. You knew you only had one choice, and that was to appease the monster that sat beside you because he was far less frightening than the unknown, than the certain embrace of death that waited at every corner.Â
When fear rules your life, you have no choice. There is only ever one option.Â
âI agree,â Your voice trembled as you swallowed uncomfortably under his grasp. âIâll be your donor.âÂ
âSplendid.â He said with a grin, his canines glinting under the light.Â
âCan IâŚcan I please go home now?â You asked, clasping your trembling hands together to try and still their shaking.Â
âNo, there are a few more fine details we have to iron out,â He said, his index finger lightly tapping your chin, âFirstly, I expect you to maintain a healthy lifestyle and that means no alcohol within a twenty-four hour period before we meet and certainly no smoking itâs a dirty and disgusting habit.â
You nodded slowly, trying your best to avoid looking into his piercing red gaze.Â
âTry your best to have a healthy diet as well, the junk you humans gorge yourselves on taints your flavor, itâs unbearably sweet.â He said with a wrinkle of his nose in disgust. âI will compensate you for your efforts and your donations, once Iâve deemed you satisfactory, of course,âÂ
âI think that about covers it. And when I call upon you I expect your presence. Do we understand one another?â He asked with a tilt of his head.Â
Your throat was far too tight, your eyes burning with unshed tears as you weakly nodded in agreement.Â
âVery good,â He hummed before leaning back into the couch and soundly tapping the top of his thigh, âcome, pet.âÂ
You sat still, your body frozen in shock as you were unsure if you had heard him correctly.Â
âWell?â He raised his eyebrow expectantly.Â
âIâŚI donât think that, um-â
âAre you going to keep babbling and test my patience, or are you going to be a good little pet and do as I say?â He interjected and immediately you remembered the phantom feeling of his hand on your throat, the light grip that screamed threat.Â
You awkwardly shuffled on your knees across the couch and hesitantly settled your legs on either side of him, hovering so that your weight did not rest on his lap. In response, he firmly gripped your hips and harshly pulled you down onto him, pressing you directly against him in a way that sent heat rushing beneath your skin despite the evident chill that emanated from his body.Â
You could see his fangs even clearer now. They had become longer than before, the sharpened points dragging along the flushed skin of his plump lower lip. You were terrified by the thought of them piercing your thin flesh. What if they punctured your jugular and you bled out to death? What if he had just been playing with his food this entire time, instilling a false hope of survival in you just to watch with murderous glee as you realized you were meant to die the entire time as he drained the life out of you?Â
And then what? The void of inevitable nothingness? The abyss of the afterlife? You were spiraling now, you could feel it in the way your chest constricted and your breaths came out in panicked, short huffs.Â
A soft, wet, stroke against your throat pulled you from your frightening thoughts. As your vision cleared you realized that he had settled back into the juncture of your neck and shoulder, his tongue gently and steadily lapping at your skin. Despite your embarrassment, you could feel your body slowly relaxing and melting against him. It felt like you were being shot up with a tranquilizer, your muscles going weak from his ministrations as the skin of your neck went numb. Â
And within seconds his fangs were sinking through your flesh, easy and smooth. You jolted in response, a cry of pain leaving you as your fingers curled into the silk of his shirt while your body subconsciously leaned away, trying to escape the sudden painful stimulus.Â
In response, you could feel Jinâs arms tighten around your back and harshly pull you flat against his chest with an animalistic growl, one that immediately paralyzed you with fear.Â
The vampire beneath you was enraptured, completely lost in the feeding frenzy as rivers of blood flowed freely past his plump lips and poured down his throat. Your scent had been seductive, but your taste? It was better than any wine, better than ambrosia and nectar, it was addictive. So addictive he was unsure if he would be able to stop but at the same time aware he could not kill you because the rest of his immortal existence would be utter hell if he were unable to get another hit.Â
Kim Seokjin had a refined palette and high standards and few people met his expectations. But you? You were complete and utter perfection. And he deserved perfection.Â
His grip was too hard, unrelenting, crushing you against him. You wouldnât be surprised if he cracked your spine by accident. It was like he was afraid to release you, afraid that there was a chance you would be able to escape him, the apex predator.Â
But these thoughts were all uselessly whimpered in the back of your mind because the rest of your brain was completely flooded with euphoria. You had never felt so warm and tingly despite his cool hands in your entire life. It was almost like an out-of-body experience, the only thing keeping you grounded in existence was his tight hold. And there were other feelings as well, feelings you would have been ashamed of had your inhibitions not completely disappeared. Feelings that had your thighs clenching on either side of his waist, your heart beating pathetically fast, your pupils dilating, and your limp body helplessly rocking against him with his hands guiding and encouraging you.Â
This was completely out of character for you. You didnât climb into random men's laps and writhe against them eagerly like you were in heat. That had never been who you were, but the position you were in now clearly said otherwise.Â
You were growing lightheaded, not only from arousal and euphoria but from blood loss as well. You weakly pushed at his chest, your innate desire to survive prevailing over the pleasure that had relaxed your muscles.Â
âJin, please,â You whimpered, struggling to speak.Â
The vampire didnât respond or relent, his arms still wrapped around you like a vice. In desperation you wound your arms around his neck, your fingers tangling into his hair and tugging at the roots. The pull certainly took him off guard, his fangs sliding free from your throat and his perfect lips parting to release a startled moan.Â
His eyes were half-lidded but his red irises still burned brightly under the dim lighting, a perfect match for the blood that stained his lips and chin. He said nothing at that moment and from what very little you knew about him you could conclude that it was not often that he was at a loss for words.Â
Warmth trickled down your neck, rivulets of blood still flowing freely now without him there to catch them and that seemed to snap him back to attention. He slowly leaned forward, maintaining eye contact with you until he was level with your throat once more, his tongue darting out to lick up the trails of blood before tracing over the puncture wounds he had left behind.Â
Your hold on his shoulders did nothing to dissuade him, in fact, he quite enjoyed your weak attempts to keep him at an arm's length. Humans were so fragile, so weak, and he enjoyed that. Â
âRelax,â He breathed, âWe have a deal, remember? It would be a waste to drain you dry in one night.â
âAnd how do I know you donât just like to play with your food?â You asked.Â
âYou donât. Youâll just have to take my word for it, pet.â He smirked, tapping your chin with his finger.Â
âYouâre not going to kill me?â
âLetâs just say your sample was more than satisfactory, I have no reason to take back my word just yet.â
Yet. And yet, he was actually letting you go.Â
âIâll see to it that you make it home safely,â He began. But before he could finish speaking you were eagerly sliding off of his lap.Â
His hands caught your waist easily, one holding you steady and the other firmly grasping your chin between his thumb and forefinger forcing you to look him in his eyes.Â
âRemember, I call, you answer. As long as you abide by my rules we wonât have a problem.â
You nodded quickly, his words barely registering in your brain as your body took control. You would agree to anything that would keep you alive.
âDonât disappoint me.âÂ
~~~~~~
Days had passed since that night at Blood Sugar, days where Jin had not tried to contact you, days that you spent isolated in your house - a wave of agoraphobia so strong that the thought of passing a threshold frightened you to the bone which was beyond ironic considering your situation. But those days also led to you trying to convince yourself it had all been a bad dream.Â
If the encounter at Blood Sugar had in fact been real, you had little to show for it. The skin of your throat was smooth and untouched despite the fangs that you were certain had torn through it like paper. The only parting gift you had was the urge to sleep for days, a splitting headache, and a touch of soreness around your ribs where you were sure his arms had once restrained you.Â
Pretending it hadnât happened was easier on your mind. Your whole world had been turned upside down and the monsters you once thought to be the stuff of stories had been pulled from the shadows and abruptly thrust into the light. It was easier to pretend it was a dream. But you couldnât shake those blood-red eyes from your memories nor the show of pure strength that had been demonstrated against Junghee - her once perfect face that was so easily disfigured by the elder vampire.Â
You were afraid of death and the realization that it actually lurked at every eerie corner and you had sat in its lap like a contented house cat was enough to fry the connections in your brain.Â
And you could only pretend for so long. You could only ignore reality for so long.Â
It had been three weeks since you had seen him when he finally confirmed his existence in the form of a simple text.Â
âHungry, you know where to find me.âÂ
And that made your blood run cold. It was time to finally face reality, you had actually made a deal with a vampire and now he was cashing in on your promise. It was donate or die.Â
And in an absolute panic, you made a terrible decision. You placed your phone face down and retreated beneath your blankets like a small child hiding from the boogeyman.Â
Your phone did not cease to remind you that you had made a bad decision. The messages started sporadically - spread out throughout the hour. But Jinâs impatience grew as did the texts and calls. The eerie silence of your bedroom filled with a continuous buzzing as your phone continued to vibrate until you couldnât take it anymore and without looking at a single message you shut down your phone. But that only brought temporary relief.Â
You were begrudgingly pulled from the safety of your bed that day for an inspection your landlord had scheduled two days prior. There was no getting out of it and in your mind, it was a welcome distraction from the spiraling anxiety you felt when you thought about your powered-down phone.Â
You had no way of knowing that their presence would only worsen the problem that you had created.Â
You were generally a quiet person that kept to yourself around strangers, especially strangers that had a say in whether you continued living in your home or not. You practically stuck yourself to the walls as she inspected your home, and while your landlord was not necessarily a mean woman she wasnât very chatty. You two got along in those regards.Â
You were able to breathe when she gave you an awkward, tight-lipped smile, waved, and closed the door behind her.Â
As soon as she was gone you rushed back into your bedroom and just barely pulled your curtains aside to peer out your window and watch her retreat. But when you did look out that window you felt your blood run cold. She was still there, standing on the walkway, and directly in front of her was him. It was twilight out, the sun still desperately trying to cling to a purple and ochre colored sky. It was safe for him to be out. He was giving her a charming smile, one that anyone would fall over at the sight of. You could see him laugh and then say a few words but you were too far away to make out what they were. And then to your utmost horror, she walked away and he made his way up the front steps.Â
You were frozen, your muscles tense, and refused to move. You held your breath as you listened. There was no way that he could get in, you hadnât given him permission. But all of your hope washed out of you when you heard the front doorâs knob turn and the soft click of it leaving the frame. There were a few light steps and then the door shut once more.Â
He was inside the house.Â
You felt absolutely helpless as all you could do was wait for him to find you. There was nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, you were cornered.Â
It was only a matter of seconds before he did find you, a stern and angry expression clear on his face as he rounded the banister and the stairs and stood right outside the door frame of your room. His eyes were different now, they werenât the vibrant red that you remembered. They were a deep burgundy now, almost black as they stared back at you with intensity. You couldnât even make out the difference between his pupils and his irises. It was a bottomless, dark gaze.Â
âHow did you get in?â You asked, the words rushing out of you to your own surprise.Â
One of his dark brows quirked, whether it was in surprise or irritation you did not know.Â
âElaine let me in,â He said with a stomach-turning grin.Â
Your landlord. She technically owned the house, she could let him in even if you didnât invite him.Â
âI thought I made myself clear when we spoke, did I not?â He asked rhetorically, âI call, you answer, I feed, you keep your life. What part of that did your little human brain not comprehend?âÂ
âYou called me?â
âDonât play dumb with me.â
âMy phone died-â
âDonât make me repeat myself!â He snapped, his voice shockingly loud and incomposed.Â
You flinched back against the wall as he finally entered your room only to stop dead in his tracks not more than five feet away. His eyes widened, his nostrils flared, and his fangs descended on instinct.Â
The two of you stood there, both staring at each other and refusing to move, waiting for the other to act first.Â
Jin was the one to break the stalemate.Â
âYouâre on your period.âÂ
Your eyes widened in embarrassment, warmth radiating beneath your skin in response. He could smell it, that was the only explanation and that was a mortifying thought that had you pressing your thighs together, tight and closed.Â
He looked shaken, frazzled, and incredibly unlike himself. His rage was forgotten, his hunger controlling him. He was gripping the footboard of your bed, the skin of his knuckles stretched taut as he held onto it like he was keeping himself grounded.Â
âI want a taste,â He said, staring you down without a single blink.Â
It took you a moment to comprehend what he had just said, and as soon as you connected the dots you were anchoring yourself to the wall and vehemently shaking your head.Â
âNo, no way!âÂ
âYes,â
âNo! Thatâs messy and gross and I never agreed to do anything like that with you!
âIâm hungry,â He hissed, âAnd you expect me to just leave when you smell like fucking heaven?â
âYes, because everything about this is crazy! I donât know you, I never wanted to find you and now Iâm stuck with you until you ultimately decide to kill me so Iâm sorry that youâre hungry but itâs not even my problem in the first place!âÂ
That was the one upside to being on your period, the influx of hormones allowed you to become confrontational.Â
âIâll pay you double for a feed directly from the source,â He said with gritted teeth.Â
Jin was never one to bargain, usually he would leave a deal with far more than the other party. But this was something he refused to pass up. Vampires, very often, had little to no inhibitions especially when it came to sex. Sex was often a co-occurrence with feeding, and menstruation was the epitome of that. He didnât expect a pathetic little human like you to understand. You were fettered by mortal concepts that had forced you to believe you were to be a social pariah during that time, that it was âgross,â as you had said. Little did you know you were considered a delicacy in his world, ripe for the taking. And he knew how delicious you were when he fed from the vein, his mouth watered at the thought of what it would be like now.Â
Your silence to his proposition only frustrated him even more.Â
âDo you know how many people would die to be in your position right now? Iâve had women beg to be on their knees for me and Iâm offering to pay you to do the opposite.â
You were sure that he was telling the truth because he certainly was the most breathtaking man you had ever seen in your entire life. But what confused you was why he didnât just throw you down and do as he pleased. He was bigger than you, stronger than you, and far faster than you. If he wanted it as badly as he claimed, why was he bargaining with you? You could only assume it was the lingering effects of the era he had lived in. While he was an asshole, perhaps he took no joy in forcing himself on a woman in that manner.
And then there was the money. Rent wasnât cheap, that was for sure. And not many people could say that they were paid to be pleasured. It wasnât a terrible offer, and the last thing you wanted to do was displease a vampire that could kill you and had threatened to do so before.
Shit.Â
âYou wont hurt me?â You asked, your voice wavered.Â
âQuite the opposite,â He smirked. He knew that he had won.Â
A gasp of surprise parted your lips as he closed the distance between you, moving so fast that a gust of wind whipped up ruffling your hair and sending loose pages of paper tumbling from your desk. Your heart stuttered in fright, every minute you spent with him only served as a reminder of how dangerous he was. This arrangement you had with him was dangerous, you were toeing the line between life and death and that thought made your stomach turn in unease. He was a vampire, an apex predator, a creature that you had stopped believing in long ago, but also the undead embodiment of death. The very thing you feared the most. All it would take is one moment of frenzy, a lack of control and you would be left to bleed out in your sheets with no one to come and find your remains for weeks to pass.Â
You didnât want to die, but you knew he wouldnât let you live.Â
The touch of his cold fingers to your waist brought you back to him as he tugged you toward your bed, pressing you down onto the sheets before moving over you like an animal on the hunt. His eyes were pitch black, the veins beneath them prominent, and his fangs dangerously grazed his plump lips. He looked like a fallen angel, like Lucifer himself, the most beautiful outcast of them all.Â
An involuntary cry of fright left you as he moved impossibly fast once more, his face now level with the side of your head, the tip of his nose just barely brushing over your cheek as he chuckled. Even his breath was frigid.Â
âYouâre nervous,â He hummed in delight, âCareful now, we wouldnât want your heart to stop, would we?âÂ
He could feel the violent, rapid thumps of your heart where his chest was pressed against yours. It had been a long time since he had had a human like this, oftentimes he found it too annoying. They were fragile creatures and having to restrain himself was rather inconvenient, but he preferred his partners to be responsive when he had his way with them, unlike some of his kind who couldnât care either way. Was it still necrophilia if both parties were technically dead?Â
And while your heart was making itself known, you could feel nothing in response. His heart didnât beat like yours, it had gone silent long ago and that thought only reminded you of just how wrong this entire thing was. He was dead, but you couldnât wrap your mind around how he also seemed so very alive and while that scared you deeply, it also ignited a disturbing thought within you. But that thought was quickly halted when he noticed your lack of attention on him.Â
He hated that your attention wasnât on him.Â
An annoyed growl rumbled in his throat as he moved back, quickly going down the length of your body and ripping your shorts down your legs, exposing you to the cold air.Â
âJin wait-â It felt as if all the air was sucked out of your lungs as he ignored you, plunging his face directly in between your thighs.Â
He was unlike any of the partners you had had before. He did not take his time even though he evidently had plenty of it. He didnât warm you up with gentle words, pleasing touches, or lingering kisses. Instead, he was absolutely ravenous. It was just like he said, he was hungry. But you, on the other hand, had not been prepared in the slightest for how sensitive you would be.Â
You could only whine in discomfort as you tried to clench your thighs closed, one hand coming down to push at his shoulder. Your actions were completely useless, no matter how much force you could use it was like pushing against a concrete wall - he was immovable.Â
You could feel him growl in annoyance which only sent a shock throughout your body, your hips twitching and your shoulder blades digging into the mattress. His fingers were harshly pressing against your thighs, forcing them open wider and hooking your legs over his shoulders so that he could get impossibly closer to you.Â
âToo - too much!â You barely managed to get the words out, your body jolting from sharp bursts of pleasure.Â
âBe a good pet and take it for me,â He crooned, parting from you for a mere moment to look up at you - his bright crimson eyes cutting through the darkness that had steadily filled the room. âI thought you said you would do anything to keep your life?â
You couldnât explain the feeling that his words gave you, but the shame that lingered was recognizable. Shame that enduring pleasure to ensure your survival was an addictive cocktail of emotions.Â
You couldnât even form a response in time before he returned back to his feeding, his soft lips and firm tongue caressing you in a way that made you realize he was actively trying to make you feel good instead of solely focusing on gorging himself on your blood. You had no way of knowing that that just made the feed all the more enjoyable, the rush of hormones in your body only adding to the flavor. It was a flavor he already knew he was addicted to and while he was reluctant to admit it to himself, it was a flavor he could not live without.Â
And with each feed there were more problems to come. While he knew his blood, saliva, and venom were incredibly intoxicating to your weakened human state - he underestimated the effect you would have on him. With all of the hormones his bite coaxed out of you there was one pesky one that affected him: oxytocin. It was a bonding hormone, one that fostered a relationship between feeder and donator which was why so many vampires rarely fed from the same human more than once typically preferring to drain the body dry and dump it anywhere to rot.Â
He was willingly making himself vulnerable to you all in order to get another fix, another hit of your blood. And the worst part was, he didnât mind.Â
âJin!â You cried.Â
He was disgusted with himself, disgusted by the way his body shuddered and was aflame with tingles at the mere moan of his name rolling off of your lips. It was nothing special, countless others had done it before you, but he couldnât understand why it was you. Why were you special?Â
He could blame it on the damn hormone bond all he wanted, but this was only the second feed which meant, to his utmost horror, it was him. His interest in you, a human, was more than just superficial desire.Â
Oh, how far he had fallen.Â
He smelled your salty tears and he could even see the gleam of them as they rolled down the curves of your cheeks as your hips pitched forward, broken whimpers wracking your body that only served to drive him crazier. He could drown in you and it still wouldnât be enough.Â
And as soon as all of the tension within you snapped he was digging his fangs into the meat of your thigh, fresh, hot blood rushing over his tongue and down his throat. The blend was intoxicating for not only him but for you as well - the bite secreting venom that doubled the effects of all of his efforts that lit your brain and body on fire. You could become addicted to him just as easily as he was to you because that feeling, that feeling was indescribable and would never be able to be replicated by anyone but him. Just as he was chasing you for his fix, you could easily see yourself doing the same.Â
When you came too, you were startled by the gentle touch of his tongue to the puncture wounds on your thigh. It soothed over the cuts rhythmically, urging the skin to sew itself back together again. And while he worked, he stared. Bright, crimson red eyes were trained on you. His gaze dark and dangerous. Your body that had once been limp and relaxed immediately tensed once more. The knowledge that a predator was nestled into your lap was enough to reignite fear in your chest. You feared that the slightest twitch or breath would signal for him to lunge again, but this time the outcome would not be so pleasurable for you.Â
But Jin was a man of his word. You didnât die that night and your bank account was fed in due course.Â
This continued for the next six days. Whereas before it seemed like the vampire was able to abstain from feeding for as long as he wished, he had now become ensnared by a ravenous, bottomless hunger. And that was all the more frightening. But what was even more frightening was the way he began to change.Â
He was still rude, cold, and dominating. But he had become ever present. His closeness could be described as suffocating. The only solitude you could find was in the daylight, but the minute the sun began to set he was back and hungrier than before. And after theâŚfeeding, he would linger. He would touch you more often, his words still snarky but lacking their usual bite. It was like he was becoming comfortable around you. He was still insufferable, but undeniably comfortable.Â
It was that comfortability that encouraged you to entertain that dark thought you had tried to smother before. Your ever present fear of death could easily be solved, the answer to your problem mere inches away from you. You understood the gravity of the situation, what it would mean to become something like him. But you couldnât deny the truth that you could live with ending the lives of others if it meant you could sustain your own. You didnât want to die, you couldnât fathom dying, and you had an undead man at your disposal. If he was willing.Â
It was after your seventh session together that you decided to finally ask him. His cherry red lips were pressed against your throat, swallowing every last drop of blood that slid down your skin. Your neck stung and your body thrummed with ecstasy, your fingers cupping the back of his head on reflex - moving without your permission.Â
âJin?â You asked.Â
He hummed in response, visibly enthralled by the feed but letting you know he was listening anyway.Â
âI want to be like you,â You whispered.Â
A slick pop echoed in the room, his fangs pulled from your neck and retracted into his mouth, disappearing from sight. His eyes narrowed, his dark brows drawing together in confusion and distaste.Â
âNo,â He simply said, retreating to the foot of your bed.Â
âWhy not?âÂ
âBecause you would be useless to me, thatâs why. What good is a donor thatâs dead?â He scoffed.Â
You couldnât deny the ache you felt in your chest, the sting that âuselessâ struck against your heart.Â
âYouâreâŚyouâre going to grow tired of me eventually. Iâll get old, I wonât taste as good anymore. Then, Iâll be useless.â
âOh, I plan to savor every last drop that you can offer. I wonât let you go to waste like that, you are mine after all.â
âAnd whatâs that supposed to mean? Youâll just kill me before I go bad? Put me out of my misery before I can rot? Iâm a fucking human being not a piece of meat!â You yelled, angrily standing up from your bed.Â
You expected him to become enraged, to become violent. But if anything he was deathly calm, still, and silent.Â
âWouldnât that be a kindness,â he stood from the bed, now towering over you, âTo not have to grow older, to be in pain? To just stop here where youâre perfect, when youâre young and beautiful?â He said with a soft caress down your cheek.Â
âBut you could give me what I want,â You pleaded, âYou would never have to see me again, I could go far away and I wouldnât be your problem anymore.â
A frown pulled at his lips, frustration falling over his features, âItâs not as simple as that. You would be bound to me, there are rules about these things.âÂ
âRules? Like laws, is there someone in charge of you?â
âDonât bring that Twilight bullshit into this,â He hissed, running his hands through his hair in what appeared to be distress.Â
âThen I donât understand, why canât you do this for me? Iâve done everything youâve asked! Iâve given you everything you wanted so that I could stay alive! Why canât you understand that I donât want to die!â
âBecause you donât understand what youâre asking for!â He snapped.Â
In that moment, he was brought back to that fateful day all those years ago. Yoongi had warned him, he had tried to stop him and he hadnât listened. And now, he was being faced with a painful reminder of his naivety and arrogance when he stared back at you. Jin never regretted becoming a vampire. He never regretted his inability to grow old or the only way he was able to satiate his hunger. He enjoyed it. But if there was anything he didnât enjoy, it was being under the control of someone else.Â
âWe would be connected for the rest of eternity. Anything I ask of you, you have to do. You canât deny me even if you tried. And even if you ran, you would eventually come back whether you wanted to or not. I would be your sire, your creator, you couldnât hurt me no matter how badly you want to. We would be stuck together, do you understand?âÂ
If there was anything he was afraid of, which he would never admit to, it would be having to rely on someone like that. It would be loving you, obsessively loving you like he felt the desire to creep over him. While he refused to admit it, all of those feeds had done their toll. He could feel the tugs of a weak bond forming between you - begging to be strengthened by a little of his own blood and a swift death. If you stayed human, he could save you from the fate he suffered through. And if he killed you, then no one else could have you. It was insane, but to him it was incredibly logical.Â
You had been quiet for quite some time, your face pensive before you finally spoke.Â
âThat doesnât sound all that different from our current arrangement.âÂ
âUgh, youâre insufferable!â He yelled, grabbing the closest thing to him and flinging it across the room in a show of strength and anger. So this was what Yoongi felt like.Â
âYouâve exhausted your usefulness to me,â He spat in rage, âGood luck defending yourself on your own.âÂ
And just like that, he was gone. The only remainder of his presence was the broken chair that lay in pieces on the ground and the huge dent in the plaster from where it had hit.Â
You couldnât stop the sudden wave of tears that poured down your face. That had been your only way to cheat death, and he wouldnât give it to you after you had given him every piece of yourself that he had asked for.Â
The silence was loud, your sniffles and your pounding heart painfully apparent. But what was even more apparent, was the sense of paranoia steadily creeping over you.Â
What did you have to defend yourself from now that he was gone?Â
~~~~~~~
Jin was starving.Â
Even he was not so thick-headed that he couldnât see what he was doing. He was throwing a temper tantrum.Â
He had left you for a month now in what was supposed to be a break that would teach you a lesson. You werenât allowed to make demands from him, you werenât the one in control. But if there was anything he had learned from his pathetic plan, it was that you were very much in control.Â
You had managed to burrow your way into his unwilling, stone cold heart. A feat that no one in his human and vampiric life had managed to do. The very thought itself made his stomach turn. He had never had to depend on anyone else, he never wanted commitment in that sense. Yet here he was yearning for you, a pathetic little hermit. His pathetic little hermit.Â
He let out an audible groan, collapsing back against one of the velvet couches in the club. The blue and red lights flashed over his face, his stomach rumbled in pain. He had thought it would only take a week for you to break, just a few days before you apologized and begged for him to come back. But he had greatly underestimated you.Â
It had been a month and he hadnât fed. Everyone else paled in comparison, their blood sitting on his tongue like spoiled milk; he couldnât even manage to swallow a drop. And that was completely his fault. This was why he was warned not to keep feeding from the same source. You were bonded now and he was suffering because of it.Â
He had never felt so backed into a corner before. And the fact that it was all because of a human was just salt in the wound. He thought that time would sever the bond but in reality, distance had just made it grow stronger.Â
Even now he was certain that he could smell your scent sifting through the hazy air, itâs tendrils beckoning him to come find you.Â
It was the prick of his fangs against his lip and the sudden pool of saliva flooding his mouth that made him realize it was anything but a fantasy. You were there. A wave of satisfaction rolled over him, you had broken first in a stalemate that you were unaware of. He had won. But any excitement he felt about his win was quickly thwarted when he was reminded of the present danger. You, who smelled so heavenly, had once more crawled into a nest of vampires.Â
He quickly lurched to his feet, cutting through the crowds of vampires and humans alike in order to find you. You were in the most dangerous spot in Briar Hills and he could not protect you. His abstinence had greatly weakened him, he could only hope that no one else would be aware of that. He was the eldest there and he was in charge, that should be enough to keep everyone else away from you.Â
Well, all except one.Â
You hadnât even seen her coming, her or her âfriends.â You had just barely managed to step foot inside the bunker before she was ripping you back outside, moving so quickly that your head was spinning and your neck burned with whiplash.Â
You moaned in pain, one hand cradling the back of your neck while the other dug into the damp earth in an attempt to ground yourself from the violent pounding that vibrated all throughout your head. At first you were utterly dumbstruck, confused as to what exactly happened. But the swift kick of a pointy shoe to your ribs rolled you onto your back and allowed you to be faced with four pairs of glowing red eyes.Â
The pain in your head was quickly overshadowed by the hot shooting pain in your ribs. Your spinning head could just barely register the loud crack that had sounded when you were kicked. What looked to be an effortless, swift strike from her was enough to break your ribs.Â
âHello sweetheart,â A familiar, sickeningly sweet voice crooned.Â
It was her, that vampire from a month ago. The one that Jin had saved you from.Â
Cold shocks ran through your body as you panted, grabbing your side as you tried to scoot away.Â
âAh, ah, ah,â She teased, grabbing you by your ankle and roughly pulling you back. Another sickening pop echoed through the night as a violent scream tore its way free from your throat.Â
âNow, Iâm not letting you get away from me so easily this time. You really pissed me off, and now youâre going to give me what I want.âÂ
You had no time to react and nowhere to run to. She and her friends descended on you like a pack of hungry vultures. They ripped at clothing and jostled you around like a toy they didnât want to share. And all four of them dug into you. With Jin, there had been little to no pain. But this was the worst pain of your life. You could feel teeth digging into you, ruthlessly cutting through your flesh and ripping it apart. Hot, thick blood was pouring out of your wounds, drenching your skin and your clothes in an instant.Â
There was nothing you could do but scream, cry, and shake.Â
You were helpless and soon you were going to die. You had no doubt that they had every intention to bleed you dry. You felt like you were on the verge of passing out. Your greatest fear was suddenly becoming a reality and there was absolutely nothing that you could do about it. Death spared no one, especially you.Â
And for a moment you thought that death really had come for you because the pain was suddenly wrenched away.Â
You laid there, groaning in pain as you listened to what was happening. You could hear her low, sultry voice, the sounds of hits landing, and a deep, rumbling growl that shook you to your very core. It wasnât death, but it was a close second. Jin had found you.Â
You forced yourself to open your eyes and look, you struggled to turn your head but when you did your heart dropped. Half of her group collapsed, in various states of injury. But Jin was the worst. He was barely managing to stand and he looked so weak. His cheeks were gaunt compared to the last time you had seen him, the veins beneath his eyes prominent and exposed. But worse of all, he was coated in his own blood. It stuck to him like an oil spill, pouring from wounds that were trying to heal themselves albeit very slowly. He wasnât going to make it out of this; he was too hurt, too weak, too hungry, and outnumbered.Â
âI knew it,â Junghee giggled, her voice pitchy with murderous glee. âI could smell you all over her, you bonded with her!âÂ
Jin said nothing. He wobbled, his chest rose and fell rapidly with angered breaths.Â
âOh, how far youâve fallen, Jin,â She sneered, âSo high and mighty and look at you now. Youâre no better than the rest of us - in fact youâre weaker than us! Iâm so sick and tired of living under you and your rules, I think itâs time someone replaces that coven of yours. Itâs time for a new jurisdiction.âÂ
âIâll give you one chance to get on your knees and beg for forgiveness,â He said with a deathly calm voice.Â
âIâm going to rip you apart and burn the pieces. And when Iâm finished with you, Iâm going to drain your little pet dry.â She said with a cocky grin.Â
Jin hummed in response, his head slightly tilting back as he thought. His eyes seemed to glow even more intensely in the dark, a ring of light shining around his irises as he spoke.Â
âThatâs an interesting idea. Tear each other apart.âÂ
You stared in shock as they immediately obeyed his command. It was mind-control, he could compel individuals to do his bidding. How many times had he used it on you and you had gone on unaware of it?Â
All four of them turned on one another, rushing at each other with abandon. It looked like they were marionettes, like someone else was controlling their limbs and forcing them to do as he commanded. You watched as the four of them attacked each other, clawing at their friends and prying their limbs from their bodies. The sounds were horrific. You could hear them screaming, crying, gurgling, and begging for it to end as they tortured one another. Black blood sprayed and stained their hands and faces as they ripped each other apart limb by limb.Â
Your stomach rolled at the sight, your wounds flashed hot with pain, and your ribs and ankle throbbed in sympathy as they violently mutilated each other until they couldnât reach one another anymore - their limbs dismembered and useless.Â
You choked down the bile that threatened to escape your throat. They had tried to kill you, they were getting what they deserved. They were going to do the same to you and Jin.
Jin.Â
You caught sight of the vampire a few feet away from you. He had fallen to the ground after he had issued the command. His body was unnervingly still, his skin ashen and the sickliest pallor you had ever seen. He was dying, you were sure of it. That was something you had thought to be impossible for his kind but here he was proving you wrong. It was possible, but hard to do.Â
You felt a surge of adrenaline wash over you. You couldnât let him die, he was your one chance to avoid that very same fate. You needed him just as much as he needed you. If you could help him then he would owe you. You could get the immortality that you were desperate for.Â
You cried out in pain as you rolled onto your side and crawled to him. Each inch you moved felt like you were being stabbed along the way. Your body was crying in protest but you were on a mission.Â
When you finally closed the distance between you, you could breathe a sigh of relief. He was hurt badly, but he was still âalive,â if not barely.Â
You grabbed him by his shoulders and slowly, painfully, dragged him into your lap. Your body threatened to crumble beneath his weight as you guided his head to the open wound on your neck. This was a risk, a really big risk. You were hurt badly and you had already lost so much blood, but you were sure that he would be able to stop.Â
âCome on, Jin,â You encouraged him, cupping the back of his head with your hand, âCome on drink, you need to drink.âÂ
You felt a cool puff of breath on your neck, his nose slightly skimming over your pulse as the scent of blood pulled him out of unconsciousness. And as soon as he was awake, his predatory instincts took control. He lunged forward, wrapping you up in a vice like grip as he dug his fangs into the already open wound.Â
You hissed but held still, allowing him to get his fill. He was scarily inhuman at that moment. Jin had fed from you many times, but he had never been like this before. Silent, overbearing, and territorial.Â
Your eyes began to flutter, they were feeling incredibly heavy and it was becoming hard to keep them open. You had lost too much blood, you were still losing too much blood.Â
âJin,â You croaked, âYou need to stop.âÂ
He ignored you and continued drinking, only digging his fangs in harder to force more blood from your throat.Â
âJin please stop, please,â You cried, âYouâre going to kill me!â
When you realized he wasnât responding, that he was too enthralled by the feeding frenzy, you began to fight. You tugged at his hair, pushed at his shoulders, kicked at him with your good leg but it all was for nothing.Â
He let out an animalistic growl, squeezing you tighter before roughly shoving you to the ground and pinning your wrists above your head. He groaned in delight as your fighting ceased, as your blood flowed more easily into his waiting mouth.Â
You were fading fast, your visions steadily beginning to black out around the edges. He was going to kill you, and just like before there was nothing you could do about it. You were utterly helpless.Â
Your own desires would be your downfall. Just like Icarus, you had flown too close to the sun.Â
~~~~~~~
When Jin came to, he was confused.Â
He couldnât remember anything after he had ordered Junghee and her coven to dismember one another. But when he became aware, he quickly figured out what had happened. Their corpses were sprawled about, their limbs still occasionally twitching.Â
And you were there, scarily still in his arms with the remnants of your blood on his lips.Â
He didnât expect a wave of grief to wash over him. He hadnât felt that even when his own family died or when he watched them mourn the loss of a son that never truly perished. But the sight of you, your broken body limp in his arms was enough to force a choked sob out of him. It was painful, it was complete and utter despair.Â
It was in that moment that he realized he did love you. In some horrific twist of fate, he loved you. He once thought that he would be able to kill you, then no one else could have you. But he didnât anticipate the pain that it would cause him.Â
A soft, weak flutter halted all grief he felt. It was your heart. Your little human heart was still trying to beat. You could still be saved.Â
That was how he ended up here, with the only person he knew that could fix you.Â
âSo, this is what youâve been doing with all your free time.â Namjoon hummed, checking over your vitals.Â
Jin stayed quiet, nervously clenching and unclenching his fingers. At that moment, he understood what Yoongi went through. If he believed in karma, which he didnât, he would have been able to appreciate it. This was what he deserved after what he put Yoongi and the fledgling through. But Jin was far more determined to keep you human than his âbrotherâ ever was.Â
But it was undeniable that he could finally understand him. He finally knew what Yoongi was trying to protect him from all those years ago.Â
âJunghee really did a number on her. Iâve given her an awful lot of my blood to heal her wounds. It would just take one quick break, Jin. You said it yourself, this is what she wanted.â He mused.Â
âSheâs my pet, nothing more. Sheâs useless to me as one of us, I want to make her last as long as I can.â He said with a warning glare.
âItâs useless, you know, lying to me. I could smell it on you the second you came through the door. You bonded with her, sheâs yours now. Do with her what you will, but she will join us soon. Whether itâs you or me, well thatâs entirely up to her. But I have a feeling she would let any of us do it at this point.âÂ
âYou wouldnât-â
âOh, but I would. Remember this, everything I do is for our family. You helped me with Yoongi, you understood then what I was trying to do. You can keep playing with her for a little longer, but she will join us. Donât make me command you, Jin.âÂ
Jinâs back stiffened, that familiar tug in his brain was there. That feeling that he needed to fulfill his creatorâs wishes. And so, he bought himself some time.Â
âI donât think itâs her you need to be worried about,â Jin said, that cocky edge to his voice back once more.Â
âOh really?â Namjoon asked, leaning forward in interest.Â
âWhen was the last time you checked in on Hoseok?â
Namjoonâs brows furrowed in thought. Jin had got him, this was what he was good at - misdirection.Â
âHoseok too?â He mumbled to himself. âDonât you find it odd that this is all happening now? Yoongi and the fledgling, you and your pet, Taehyung and the little human he keeps in his studio, and now Hoseok? How interesting.â
He knew about Taehyung? But he hadnât said anything about Jimin or Jungkook. He didnât know everything. He had two more bargaining chips to buy himself more time.Â
âWatch over her, make sure she doesnât hemorrhage. Youâve done a good thing, Jin. Thank you.â Namjoon said before briskly leaving the room - his office that now served as a hospital for you.Â
He wasnât so sure that he had done a good thing. He was paying for what he had done to Yoongi now, what would come to him next now that he sold out Hoseok. And what about Jungkook and Jimin, what would happen when he revealed their secrets as well.Â
That was all he could think about as he waited for you to wake up. Namjoonâs blood was doing a thorough job. He was old and strong and because of that your body was mending itself incredibly quickly.Â
The only thing he hated was that you smelled like him. It was Namjoonâs blood in your body and because of that you were practically emanating his scent. Your normal heavenly essence was murky in the haze of his creatorâs and it would take some time for it to dissipate. He was going to have to live with it for the time being. For now, he needed to figure out how he was going to protect you from the fledgling and from Hoseok. One was hungry and the other was certainly going to be pissed with him.Â
But if he could keep you like this for a little while longer it was worth it.Â
Your heart monitor was starting to accelerate, the beeping became loud and frequent. You were awake.Â
He slowly raised his head to look at you and he felt his stomach drop. You were giving him the thousand yard stare, your frail body tense on the mattress. You were utterly and completely frightened of him.Â
Your name left his lips in a hushed whisper as he stood, moving closer to your bedside. You shrieked and huddled into the furthest corner that you could.Â
âStay away from me!â You yelled, crossing your arms over your chest in an attempt to block yourself off from him.Â
âIâm not going to hurt you,â he said, his tone the softest it had ever been, âI donât want to hurt you.â
âLet me go, I want to leave. I donât want to see you ever again, I want to go home!â You were rambling now, every frightened word running out of you with a gasp.Â
âYou canât leave, itâs too late now.â He said apologetically. He had never apologized before.Â
âI want to leave!â You screamed again, âYou tried to kill me! You said you wouldnât but you did! You lied, youâre a fucking liar!âÂ
âIâm in control now, thatâs never going to happen again I swear.â
âYouâre a fucking liar!â You screamed again, your words trailing off with a broken sob.Â
He had felt grief when he thought he had killed you, but now he was experiencing heartbreak. His first, genuine heartbreak. He thought seeing your lifeless body was bad, but this, this was somehow worse.Â
He was suddenly overcome with the urge to comfort you, to hold you. And so he tried. The second he picked you up you began to writhe, screaming obscenities at him and clawing at his skin. You were trying to do anything you could to get away from him.
The last time he had held you like this, held you this close, he had tried to kill you. Your body and mind were completely in survival mode now and you needed to get away from him.Â
But he wouldnât let you budge. He pulled you into his chest and wrapped you in a tight embrace, pinning your arms in between the two of you so that you couldnât hurt yourself while trying to hurt him. All you could do was scream and cry and writhe but eventually your body went lax when you realized it was pointless. There was no escape.Â
Your brush with death had only made you more frightened of it. You had met that dark, empty void and the void had stared back at you. What some might have found to be peaceful, you had found to be terrifying. And, as a result, you were terrified of Jin. He had brought you to that void and your body was certain he would escort you back.Â
âIâm sorry,â He finally said, the words not burning him like he once thought they would for the longest time. âIâm sorry.âÂ
You sniffled as you limply laid in his hold. You could feel the soft touch of his lips against your cheeks, collecting your tears as they brushed by in the lightest of kisses.Â
âNever again,â He mumbled, âI promise.âÂ
You whimpered once more, the word liar echoing in your mind.Â
âIâll give you what you want, I swear. Youâll never be that close to death again, Iâll keep you safe. Just give me time.âÂ
You slightly perked in interest. What you wantâŚwhat you want. Heâll give you what you want. You tilted your head up at the same time he went to kiss your forehead, only for him to gently kiss you instead. He froze for a moment, still as a statue as he processed what he had done before he did it again, and again, and again. It was like he had discovered a new insatiable hunger that he couldnât settle no matter how many times he tried.Â
âI love you,â He admitted so softly against your lips that you thought you had imagined it.Â
He loved you. He was going to give you what you wanted. You had almost died. He was a liar. Your mind was reeling.Â
âNo one else can have you, not even death can take you away from me; because youâre mine, remember?âÂ

đŠ¸My Master ListđŠ¸
Intro;
I knew something was wrong in the small city Iâve been living ever since I was born here and after I graduated from high school I was sure it had nothing to do with the fact that the whole year this small hell of a city called Spring Villa always rained every day.
Every god damn day.
Not that i was complaining, one summer during a high school trip to California was enough for me to realize hot weather was not for me. One day to be more specific, it was my first time and everything seemed so more alive and colorful. But all come to an end since i had to spend the rest of the trip at the hospital with an IV inside my arm due to being exposed to the sun for too long, just one afternoon which was the same as everyone else did but i was the only one who almost died that day for burning on the sun and end up looking like a hot Cheeto. After that i even started to enjoy the cold humid air hitting my face every day when i left to work, the only thing it didnât change was my hatred for the rain every morning. Getting wet before work was not very enjoyable, everyone could agree on that note.
But the beautiful weather of the city was not the most uncanny thing about it, it has been almost ten years since a serial killer was circling around the Spring Villa. I was only a teen when everything became known to everyone in the city that something wasnât right, so many bodies were found around Spring Villa along the years people began to stay at home locked away from everything. Some left the city for once and never came back, those who stayed were people who had nowhere else to go, like me.
My father was terrified of the accidents involving the serial killer in town and he too left before anyone else, leaving me and my mother behind. I couldnât blame him especially after my brother ended up becoming one of the victims, when the police officer called for my parents to identify the body it didnât felt real to me. I was not allowed to go since at the time i was underage but, I didnât even got a chance to say goodbye either. My parents didnât do a funeral for him, it was all too much to bear so instead he was cremated and thrown on a river on the west side of Spring Villa his favorite place to hide with his friends. Ever since that happened my parents have not been the same, I knew that sooner or later this was bound to happen. When father left it was the last straw of sanity of my mother, she became an alcoholic and well⌠not good.
Iâve been working at the Spring Grill ever since I graduated high school, apart from so many people leaving the city many others came from cities around the town to get a bit of incloser about the serial killer of Spring Villa, he was never caught and that mystery seemed to amaze many tourists around town.
People from all over came to my stupid silly little city to make videos about the killer of my brother, at first I was so angry at them I wished they just didnât came at all but, over the years it became dull and empty inside my heart. I had more to worry about then that and since I needed money to pay the rent I was more then happy so many tourist came to Spring Villa.
After all I meet my best friend like that.

---
âYou are going to be the reason we all die.â
âJimin, stop,â Jin says. âDove, we need to know what Taehyung said to you,â he asks, much more diplomatically.Â
You shake your head, trying to make your way closer to the vampires, but the men around you have made an impressive barrier. How are you going to explain the lost months you experienced, the things you witnessed in Jiminâs memory? You stare at the angry younger vampire, how are you going to convince Jimin to help you?
âJimin, you need to bite me.â
âWhat?!â
-
âWhat did you do to her?!â Hoseok roars at the vampire in question, who looks equally as shocked and offended at the accusation.Â
âNothing!â you interject, but your words fall on deaf ears.
âHe did something to her to make her act like this!â Hoseok yells louder, turning his frustrations onto his pack leader.
âShe has been calling out to him since we found her,â Yoongi tells Namjoon, confirming Hoseokâs accusations.
âWhat?! What did you do!â Jungkook growls out. âIâll kill you-â
âItâs my fault that she's obsessed with me?â Jimin crosses his arms, looking away like the entire display was beneath him.
âDo you want to stop Taehyung or not?!â
The men exchange looks. âWe need a plan, a real one,â Yoongi says, dismissing you. âThe longer we wait-â
âYoongi, do you have anything left that might be powerful enough?â Namjoon asks.
âI can look,â he says, âdonât hold out hope now that his binds are off.â
âAnd how the hell did they break?!â Hoseok yells accusingly.
âDonât look at me!â the merman counters, âThere should have been no fucking conceivable way to break those spells,â he glances towards the youngest vampire who furiously glares back.
âWell it happened, okay, and now is not the time to argue about it, we need to work together to stop him, there is no telling what he is capable of now.â
âHello!? I have a way to stop him!â
âWhat is it, Dove?â
âI told you! Jimin needs to bi-â
âNo! No way in hell.â
âOh I am going to kill you!â
âKILL ME?! IâLL KILL YOU.â
âEveryone, silence!â Namjoon bellows and a tense silence settles in the air.
You speak up first, desperate to make them understand you. âJin, why exactly did you forbid Jimin to bite me in the first place? Huh? Why?!â you challenge him.
Everyone stares at the eldest, even the vampire in question himself. Seokjinâs finger runs over his forehead, moving a stray lock of hair back in place. He clears his throat, âI did not want to cause him any pain-â
âWhat do you mean pain?â Jimin asks, repulsed. âShe canât hurt me!â
You huff, âYour memories, Jimin, your life-â
âThere are certain memories better forgotten,â Seokjin interjects.
âNo, no,â you say shakily. You had wished to forget this place so many times locked up in the vampireâs lair, and then when you did, you lost more than just the memories, you lost yourself. âNo.â
And Jimin, he too, is lost.Â
You glance over to the defiant vampire. âYou have to bite me, youâre the only one who can stop Taehyung!â
Jimin looks around at everyoneâs concerned faces, growing more irritated. Why does he have to be the one to stop Taehyung? Jimin never agreed to even help! And what makes you even think he has that kind of power?Â
âWhy?â It was Hoseok who questioned you angrily, upset at the way you are treating Jimin with such fondness. âWhy him?!â
âBecause he knows magic,â you say simply, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
âI d-donât know magic,â he spits out. You couldnât be any more wrong, Jimin thinks, who the fuck do you think you are, acting like you know so much about him, better than himself!
But everyone is silent, eyes full of guilt and remorse, looking at him as if they know something he doesnât. The kind of look that Jimin despises.
âYou do,â you say with more conviction. âWhen you were human. I can show you.â You hold out your arm to him as the pack tries still to barricade your body away from the vampires.
âWhat is she talking about, Jin?â he turns to the eldest.Â
âJin, we donât have time, you need to be honest with him!â
âShut up! You are the reason we are even in this mess to begin with, you know that? Just how many times did we tell you to not get so comfy with Taehyung. You let him use you, because youâre weak, youâre-â
âAnd what about you?! You let Taehyung use you too, didnât you?!â you scream, your anger getting the better of you.
âStop!â Namjoon bellows, âEveryone, stop!â He looks furious with you, his hard glare instantly making you feel small and apologetic.
âDonât order me around, you filthy beast!â Jimin hisses at Namjoon, deep and threatening, his eyes glowing with rage.
âWe don't have time,â you whimper desperately.Â
Your head is pounding. You feel itâŚ
âŚinside of you, in the back of your mindâŚscreaming, wrapping around your bonesâŚ
âŚthe dread of something horrible coming for you all.
Jimin canât believe heâs stuck here until sunset! Inside this idiot infested house with the biggest of the idiots telling him the most ridiculous things heâs ever heard. Itâs insufferable, youâre insufferable, the way you stare at him now. Whatever spell Taehyung inflicted on you has only changed you for the worse.
âJimin, Iâm afraid we need to work together on this.â The younger vampire yanks himself away from Jinâs comforting hand. Heâs beginning to think Seokjin is equally to blame as much as you. Heâs beginning not to trust himâŚ
âIâm not fucking helping any of you,â he stares at you, glowering. âLet Taehyung tear you apart,â he growls, baring his fangs.
You shake your head in disbelief. âYou wanted to be a doctor, you loved helping people, you became a medic in the military. You fought for your country, you saved people,â you ramble on and on, hoping to convince the vampire to listen to reason. Youâre angry that no one has told him, they should have, this shouldnât be coming from you!
Jimin yells, picks up and throws a wicker chair in your direction in his anger, which Jungkook stops with ease, the chair exploding when it hits the youngestâs shoulder.
Hoseok has had just about enough of Jimin, he hasnât forgotten the scars he witnessed across your body, he hasnât forgotten the way you looked so fragile when he found you. This was all the vampiresâ fault, and Jimin most of all. That arrogant, cruel, deceptive little-
Hoseok transforms instantly, pouncing on Jimin.
Yoongi pulls you back as the others transform as well. Youâre both thrown to the ground as they fight, as they tear the house apart from the inside, unable to cohabitate any longer.
You groan, rolling over, still attempting to get to the headstrong vampire, your hand pressing into broken glass and blood escaping.
At the smell it wasnât Jimin, but Jin who lost control. So many days drinking from you, addicted in more ways than one. His eyes glow red, searching out your blood.Â
Namjoonâs large snout sinks its teeth into the eldest vampire and the fighting only escalates tenfold. Everything is loud, everything is chaos. You try to keep moving closer to the chaos still, until you notice something familiar in front of you.Â
You notice the redness of the gem that had fallen out of Yoongiâs pack in the chaos, now shining brighter than ever.
Oh no. You can feel it again, pulling you in. You shuffle backwards, clutching your chest, closing your eyes tightly as the gem burns brighter, glowing like the vampiresâ eyes then glowing even more until it envelops the entire home.
-
âDo you all want to stop Taehyung or not?!â
The men exchange looks. âWe need a plan, a real one,â Yoongi says, dismissing you. âThe longer we wait-â
âYoongi, do you have anything left that might be powerful enough?â Namjoon asks.
âI can look,â he says, âdonât hold out hope now that his binds are off.â
âAnd how the hell did they break?!â Hoseok yells accusingly.
âDonât look at me!â the merman counters, âThere should have been no fucking conceivable way to break those spells,â he glances towards the youngest vampire who glares back.
âWell it happened, okay, and now is not the time to argue about it, we need to work together to stop him, there is no telling what he is capable of now.â
âHello!? I have a way to stop him!â
âWhat is it, Dove?â
âI told you! Jimin needs to bi-â
âNo! No way in hell.â
âOh I am going to kill you!â
âKILL ME?! IâLL KILL YOU.â
âEveryone, silence!â Namjoon bellows and a tense silence settles in the air.
This is getting you nowhere. Good God, how are you supposed to make six stubborn beings listen to you?! Think, y/n. Think! You try to come up with a plan, but your head is throbbing in pain.
Jimin speaks up first, âJust what are you playing at, pet?â
You look up at him. âPull my memories. Youâve already done it once. Just do it again.â
Seokjin looks over at the younger vampire in disbelief.
âI have not,â Jimin looks at you furiously for getting him in trouble over a lie. âSheâs obviously suffering from some delusional episode! Listen, you wretched human girl! Youâre nothing to me, you mean nothing, so stop these fantasies! right! now!â
âYou have, and we saw your mother. You just, ugh, donât remember because it happened in the future, ugh, just-â you groan, clutching your head. Itâs pounding more than ever, and you feel it, inside of you, in the back of your mind screaming, wrapping around your bones, the dread of something horrible coming for you all. Your body starts shaking and Jungkook wraps his arms around your waist to steady you.
Jimin canât believe heâs stuck here until sunset! Inside this idiot infested house with the biggest of the idiots telling him the most ridiculous things heâs ever heard. His mother? You saw his mother? How dare you even talk about her! Like you know anything about her, like you know more than Jimin, who well, knows nothing about his motherâŚand he doesnât care to know!Â
Who the fuck do you think you are, acting like you know so much about him, better than himself! Itâs insufferable, youâre insufferable. Whatever spell that Taehyung inflicted on you has only changed you for the worse. âSee! Sheâs lost it,â he yells, pointing at you. âSo weak!â
âPlease, Iâm not lying,â you cry out. You feel sick. You just want to save them, why wonât they listen to you?! Jungkook holds you tighter as your legs give out.
âWhatâs happening to her!â Hoseok looks over to his leader worriedly, holding onto your shoulders to keep you upright as you slump forward.
âI think it has something to do with this,â Yoongi pulls the red amulet from his pouch, holding the necklace up and letting it dangle for everyone to see.
âNo!â You canât stop it, itâs already starting again, the red glow emanating directly from the gem, covering everyone and everything in that same red hue, until thatâs all you can see.
You clutch your chest, closing your eyes tightly as it burns brighter, until it envelops the entire home.Â
-
âYoongi, do you have anything left that might be powerful enough?â Namjoon asks.
âI can look,â he says, âdonât hold out hope now that his binds are off.â
âAnd how the hell did they break?!â Hoseok yells accusingly.
âDonât look at me!â the merman counters, âThere should have been no fucking conceivable way to break those spells,â he glances towards the youngest vampire who glares back.
âWell it happened, okay, and now is not the time to argue about it, we need to work together to stop him, there is no telling what he is capable of now.â
âHello!? I have a way to stop him!â
âWhat is it, Dove?â
âI told you! Jimin needs to bi-â
âNo! No way in hell.â
âOh I am going to kill you!â
âKILL ME?! IâLL KILL YOU.â
âEveryone, silence!â Namjoon bellows and a tense silence settles in the air.
You feel your stomach turn again. You feel winded, like youâve been running. You massage your temples, wiping away the accumulating sweat. God, how are you supposed to make six stubborn beings listen to you?! Think, y/n. Think!
âWhy?â Jungkook speaks first, voice full of pain. âWhy Jimin out of all of us?â Your heart drops at his hurt expression. You donât know the right way to explain to Jungkook, to all of them, why this needs to be done, especially now when your head feels like itâs about to explode. When did you become so jittery? What is happening?! You try to concentrate and think, but where do you even begin?Â
âW-We all know the power they have, right?â You gesture to the vampires. âThe way they can look into your memories when theyâŚbut Jimin has never bitten me,â technically that is correct in this point in time, âonly Jin-â
âYeah, and just why is that?â Jimin looks at the eldest vampire pointedly, crossing his arms, fed up with Seokjinâs obtuse answers. âExplain.â
Seokjin sighs, straightening the wrinkly shirt Namjoon had given him to wear. âIt was for your protection,â he addresses Jimin. Â
âProtection from what?!â Jimin asks, repulsed. âShe canât hurt me!â
âWe donât have time for this,â you mutter. You feel it, inside of you, in the back of your mind screaming, wrapping around your bones, the dread of something horrible coming for you all. âSeokjin, make Jimin bite me!â
âSEOKJIN DOESNâT MAKE ME DO ANYTHING,â Jimin roars. You couldnât be any more wrong, Jimin thinks, who the fuck do you think you are, acting like you know so much about Seokjin, about him, better than himself!
âTHEN JUST BITE ME!â You scream back. âYouâve been wanting to all this time!â
The pack watches you argue, stunned into silence. This is news to everyone else; Jimin hasnât bitten you? And furthermore, Seokjin didnât want him to bite you. Seokjin had found Namjoon and explained most of what happened, but not that.Â
---
âStay here, in case Hoseok returns.â That was a direct order from his pack leader, and as much as Jungkook wanted to disobey and run towards the thundering noise that had rattled their home, the older shapeshifter was leagues above the young wolf in strength and dominance.
It was luck that Namjoon encountered the pair of vampires instead of his brothers. If it had been anyone else, the vampires might not have made it out with their heads. But Namjoon was always the type to observe first, take everything in before making any rash decision, itâs what kept him alive this long and made Namjoon a leader.
Jin and Namjoon were talkers. They were, even in their wildest days, the best at beguiling, enticing, drawing in others with their words, and upon meeting, they realized they had finally met their match. Namjoonâs most favorite nights were conversations with Seokjin, picking apart the intricacies of the humanities. Two beasts had become obsessed with learning and gaining a humanity of their own.
Namjoon would have torn them apart otherwise. But the magical blasts had knocked the younger more confrontational vampire out, and Seokjin pleaded with Namjoon to listen to his story. âTaehyung has escaped.â With a start like that, Namjoon couldnât resist not learning more.
With the sun soon rising and Taehyung out there somewhere, Namjoon had little options left but to invite the wounded vampires into his home.
While you were in another part of the island healing and trying to bridge the peace amongst two headstrong beasts, Namjoon and Seokjin were coming to their own kind of peace, a dĂŠtente at least for the time being, an opportunity to speak to each other like old times now that they had a bigger enemy then themselves.
---
âWell now I donât want to.â Jimin crosses his arms, looking away.
You look at him in disbelief. Ugh. This is driving you crazy, there is no time to be like this. âFucking Jimin,â he really knows how to push your last button. Fuck, you are so over this!
You think about the crying man on the floor, covered in your blood with a broken expression on his face, you think about that sweet boy, crying for his mother. Somewhere deep inside Jimin is that sweet boy who cried.
You look down at your nails with one last hope remaining. Youâll just have to make him drink from you.
You dig your nails into your forearm, scratching your skin as deep as you can.Â
But it was Seokjin who lost control. So many days drinking from you, addicted in more ways than one. His eyes turning red, searching out your blood.
Fur envelopes you, Jungkook and Hoseok shielding you with their large canine bodies while Seokjin lunges for you, stopped short by Namjoonâs fangs.
Jimin throws the beast off the older vampire. Jimin, full of rage, tears his sharp nails into Namjoonâs coat. Yoongi screams for Jin, his influential words finally knocking him out of his blood stupor. Then he calls out to the younger vampire, âJimin, stop.â
But Jimin is already too full of rage to listen to reason. He canât stand being stuck in this idiot infested house any longer. Itâs insufferable, youâre insufferable, the way you stare at him now. Whatever spell that Taehyung inflicted on you has only changed you for the worse! He should have never listened to Seokjin! Heâs beginning not to trust him-
Seokjin addresses the two wolves next to you as the younger vampire lashes out. âTake her out of here, hurry!â he yells, attempting with difficulty to retain the younger vampire with Yoongiâs and Namjoonâs help.Â
âNo!â you scream at the top of your lungs, âYou donât understand!â
A deep growl from Jungkook frightens you into silence. His fangs are around your stomach, only holding you still, not puncturing into you, but itâs terrifying nonetheless as he yanks you backwards, his hind legs digging into the earth.
You cry once outside, unable to pull yourself together. You pull at Jungkookâs fangs, attempting to unlock his jaw from your side and the large beast begins to whimper in anguish at your attempts to flee from him, extinguishing the fight inside you.
Nothing is working! Nothing! Itâs hopeless, youâre all going to die, you think, either by Taehyungâs hands or by each others. You cry harder into Jungkookâs fur, who has wrapped his large canine body around yours.
ââŚwhat?â You see it from the open door and your body acts on impulse as you claw at the ground, trying to move closer, uncaring if Jungkookâs teeth tear at your skin. Tears dry up as you watch the house start to glow red, brighter than anything youâve ever seen before.Â
No, thatâs not quite true. Youâve seen that red glow befo-
-
âWe need a plan, a real one,â Yoongi says, dismissing you. âThe longer we wait-â
âYoongi, do you have anything left that might be powerful enough?â Namjoon asks. âYoongi, do you have anything left that might be powerful enough?â you murmur to yourself. Jungkook and Jimin glance towards your way.
âI can look,â he says, âdonât hold out hope now that his binds are off.â
âAnd how the hell did they break?!â Hoseok yells accusingly.
âDonât look at meâŚâ you whisper. âDonât look at me!â the merman counters, âThere should have been no fucking conceivable way to break those spells,â he glances towards the youngest vampire who glares back.
âWell it happened, okay, and now is not the time to argue about it, we need to work together to stop him-â
âThere is no telling what he is capable of now,â you say in unison to the leader, finally aware this is not just some strange case of deja vu. All eyes turn to you. Jimin scoffs, just like he did before, pulling on Seokjinâs shoulder. â...I-I want Jimin to bite me!â you yell.Â
âNo! No way in hell.â âNo! No way in hell.â
âOh I am going to kill you!â âOh I am going to kill you!â
âWhat the hell are you doing?!â Jimin screams accusingly.
You look around, your gaze stopping on the eldest. âSeokjin, make Jimin bite me!â
âSEOKJIN DOESNâT MAKE ME DO ANYTHING,â Jimin roars. âSeokjin doesnât make me do anything!â you yell back in unison, a satisfied smirk on your face, pointing directly at Jimin.
âHow the fuck are you doing that?â the merman questions.
You rub your temples, trying to make sense of it all. âThis happened before, why has this happened before? This has to be Taeâs doing!â âI donât know, I donât know, but weâve already had this conversation, and I-I think, I canât remember, something must have went wrong...Jimin, you need to bite me, right now!â
âWellâŚâ he clears his throat, looking around as everyone has gone deathly quiet, ânow I donât want to,â Jimin crosses his arms.
Ugh! âFucking Jimin,â he really knows how to push your last button. âListen, youâve already done it once! Just just do it agai-wait, no, we did this alreadyâŚsomething is wrongâŚâÂ
âMaybe itâs you!â Jimin accuses. âTaehyung has already gotten in her head, how can we trust her?â he warns the others.
âYouâre...right!â
âY/n?âÂ
âJimin is right. I can feel him,â you shudder. âWhich is why you need to bite me, because I know for certain, Taehyung doesnât want you to.â You hold your hand to him.
âAnd if this is a trick?â
âUgh, Iâm not tricking you! I want to stop Taehyung for you, you idiot!â
âIdiotâ?! How dare you call Jimin an idiot, when youâre the biggest of the idiots in this idiot infested house! âAnd suddenly you have my best interest at heart?!â Jimin yells back, disgust evident.
Ugh, your head is killing you, and you feel it, inside of you, in the back of your mind screaming, wrapping around your bones, the dread of something horrible coming for you all.Â
You try to think about everything that has transpired since you met Taehyung, trying to see if you missed anything-
âWait, wait, waitâŚugh, let me go!â you yell at the pack surrounding you. You press yourself against the door, opening it quickly and falling into the sand.Â
You look up at the sky, taking a deep breath of fresh air to calm yourself. Itâs still daytime, but not for much longer, and youâre scared of what night will bring.
Yoongi is by your side, lifting you up. âY/n,â you think he is about to dismiss you like he always does, but instead he says, âtell me what I need to do to help you.â
âYoongi...â Youâve never seen him so sincere before. âDo you think you can use your siren song on Jimin to-â
âI can hear you, pet! It doesnât work! And I should kill you for even suggesting it.â
âTouch her and I will kill you!â
âKILL ME?! IâLL KILL YOU!â
âUgh,â you groan, turning your back as the group of stubborn monsters in front of you begin to bicker, deja vu hitting you hard again. âWhat am I supposed to do? What am I supposed to change?â You ask yourself out loud, head in your hands.
Yoongi holds you steady. âSomething definitely is up, and I have a feeling it has something to do with this-â Yoongi looks through his pack.
âT-Thatâs it! Wait! No!â You yell as Yoongi pulls the gem out of his pack, letting it dangle in his hand.
But itâs too late. You canât stop it, itâs already starting again, the red glow emanating directly from the gem, covering everyone and everything in that same red hue, until thatâs all you can see.
âY/n, take it.â
You fall back to the ground and clutch your chest, dismissing the words inside your head, closing your eyes tightly as the gem burns brighter.
-
âYoongi, do you have anything left that might be powerful enough?â Namjoon asks.
âI can look,â he says, âdonât hold out hope now that his binds are off.â
âAnd how the hell did they break?!â Hoseok yells accusingly.
âDonât look at me!â the merman counters, âThere should have been no fucking conceivable way to break those spells,â he glances towards the youngest vampire who glares back.
âWell it happened, okay, and now is not the time to argue about it, we need to work together to stop him, there is no telling what he is capable of now.â
âHello!? I have a way to stop him!â
âWhat is it, Dove?â
Okay, this is it. âSeokjin, you need to bite me.â
âWhat!?â Jimin yells angrily.
You look into Seokjinâs eyes, silently pleading with him. âThe memory pull, itâs going to work now. Please,â you urge, holding out your arm to him as the pack tries still to barricade your body away from the vampires. âLook into my memories and youâll understand!â
Jimin pulls the eldest back as he advances. âYouâre really going to obey her command? Just like that! Taehyung might have already gotten to her, how can we trust her?!â
âYouâre right! Jimin is right. I can feel him. Which is whyâŚâ you swallow, looking at Jimin, remembering this same conversation said just another way, wondering just how many times you have tried to convince them. âWhich is why, you need to bite me.â You move your eyes to Seokjin, staring ahead steadfast. âSo you can see the truth!â
âWhy?â Jungkook speaks up, voice full of pain. âWhy Seokjin out of all-â
You grab the youngestâs face and kiss him abruptly, silencing his worries.
Hoseokâs stares at you, mouth agape. He doesnât know whether to be furious with you, or satisfied that Jimin and Yoongi both look so furious with you for kissing the youngest shapeshifter.
âTrust me, please,â your hands shake in your desperation, squishing his cheeks as he looks at you in shock and awe.Â
âO-Okay,â Jungkook nods.
The eldest vampire sighs and starts to move closer much to Jiminâs astonishment and disgust. You try to push past the packâs strong bodies. It hurts them to see you try to go to their enemy, but they let you pass.
Jimin crosses his arms, scoffing as the eldest meets you in the center of the room. Jimin canât believe heâs stuck here until sunset! Inside this idiot infested house with the biggest of the idiots telling him the most ridiculous things heâs ever heard. Suddenly you want Seokjin to bite you now? When you were just throwing yourself at Jimin! Why?! What happened? Whatâs the reason? Youâre so annoying, youâre insufferable, the way you look at Seokjin with so much hope and trust.
Jimin grinds his teeth together in anger, so hard his fangs begin to pierce his bottom lip.
Seokjin puts his hands up, glancing towards the pack leader, meaning no harm before he bends his head closer to your neck.
âWait!â Jimin speaks up. âY/n, you wanted me to bite you, didnât you? So come here then!â
âJimin, I-â
âDonât you dare say it,â Jimin cuts Seokjin off. âYou didnât listen to me about Taehyung, about her, and then you made a truce with them without even asking me! Youâre lucky I even speak to you at all!â Jimin is furious with Seokjin, heâs beginning not to trust him...
You raise your eyebrows. âReally? Are you sure?â
âDonât make me say it again,â Jimin seethes.
You smile, running past Seokjin. You hold out your wrist to Jimin, looking up at him hopefully.Â
Jimin scoffs again, gripping your arm painfully and yanking you closer. The wolf trio begin to growl in anger, baring their fangs.
âI choose where I bite you, pet.â
You try to remain calm as the trio behind you let out low threatening growls. Jimin smirks, spinning you around by your arm, hugging you against his body like a shield and snickering at how angry it makes them.
The pack looks ready to attack. Yoongi begins to step forward in his growing anger.
âNo!,â you stop him, âJ-Just let him do what he wants,â you mutter.
Jimin smirks. âIf it was what I wanted, you would be on your knees with your mouth shut.â He sneers, gripping your chin painfully tight and yanking your head backward. âAnd your head down, thinking about how stupid you are for walking right into Taehyungâs trap.â
âLike you did,â you think, keeping your temper in check. Â âI know youâre scared, itâs okay.â
âI am not scared!â he hisses, nails digging into your side. You wince. Namjoonâs growls become louder.
âNamjoon, stop!â
Jimin smirks again. âYeah, listen to her, dog. Since we are all at this humanâs mercy,â he scoffs. âYou seem to know so much about what happens next, so tell me, is it going all according to your little plan?â He presses his body against yours, holding you tightly.
âYou like this, donât you?â he whispers in your ear, obscenely grinding himself against your backside. Jimin rests his chin on your shoulder, arm still secure around your waist, smirking, intent on drawing this out for everyone involved, âthem watching.â His hand grabs your breast roughly.Â
Your eyes meet Yoongiâs eyes, dark with anger, and you shut them in shame.
You breathe through your nose as he fondles you for everyone to see, letting out short breaths when he rests his hand over your throat, choosing to submit in hopes heâll eventually do what you want.
Jiminâs fangs scrape across your shoulder as he revels in the intoxicating feeling of power he has over you and everyone else, finally feeling better about his new situation. He breathes in the anger emanating from everyone in the room, inhaling your sweet desperation most of all.
His fangs scratch the surface of you, up the sensitive skin of your neck until you bleed.
Seokjin drops to his knees, panting heavily, addicted to your blood in more ways than one. Jimin stops, looking over to the older vampire. âIâm fine,â Seokjin pants. âIâm fine.â
Jimin looks coldly down at him, how disgraceful that heâs let you affect him so much. Thatâs what he gets for drinking from you all the time, for not letting Jimin! He licks the blood off your neck and you shudder. Jimin moans loudly, tasting your blood again finally.
The pack looks ready to kill, they bare their fangs, the restraint in their growls long gone.
âIâm sure they can all smell you from here, I can,â Jimin whispers in your ear, hand pressing down on your lower stomach, taunting you, âYouâve learned to be a good little pet, hmm? Hereâs your reward.â Jimin presses his fangs into the column of your neck, directly on your pulse.
âWhat the hell?â the merman mumbles. There is something glowing in Yoongiâs pack. He fumbles with the latch to inspect it. Yoongi yanks out the red glowing gem, confusion evident on his face.
Oh no. You can feel it again. A familiar voice starts to call out to you. If it wasnât for the pain in your neck keeping you present, you surely would have lost control.
You clutch your chest as the gem burns brighter. âJimin! You-â
-
âYoongi, do you have anything left that might be powerful enough?â Namjoon asks.
âI can look,â he says, âdonât hold out hope now that his binds are off.â
âWHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO?â Jimin roars, advancing on you and the pack.
âYou sawâ You knowââ you look at Jimin in disbelief. You reflexively cover your throat, the punctures are gone, but your heartbeat is still fluttering. âIt wasnât me!â you yell back.
The younger vampire yanks himself away from Jinâs protective hand. âTaehyungâŚâ Jimin growls. âAnd you!â He points an accusing finger at the merman. âGive me that gem in your pack right now!â
âHow did you know about that?â Yoongi glares at the younger vampire.
He scoffs, âI donât have to explain myself to you!â
âWell then fuck off,â Yoongi spits out.
Jimin canât believe heâs stuck here until sunset! Inside this idiot infested house withâ âWait,â He feels it, he canât explain it, but itâs there, all around him, an inevitability that he canât control, and it pisses him off! Jimin spins around, baring his fangs, claws ready to strike.Â
The group watches Jimin spin around angrily like a confused dog chasing its tail.
âSee,â you glare at Jimin, âSee how annoying it is!â
Jimin rolls his eyes. âTaehyung. The gem is his. And it seems heâs still using it somehow.â Jimin reasons, looking around at the familiar scene. âGive it, we need to destroy it,â Jimin holds out his hand impatiently. âDAMMIT YOONGI! We donât have time for this!â
âThatâs what Iâve been saying,â you huff.
The merman holds onto his pack defensively. He doesnât trust Jimin, but he knows they have to work together to stop Taehyung. Jimin is untrustworthy, but Jimin is powerful, more than he even realizes. So Yoongi holds his tongue and relents.Â
You clutch your head in your hands. Itâs pounding more than ever, and you feel it, inside of you, in the back of your mind screaming, wrapping around your bones, the dread of something horrible coming for you all. âGet it away from me!â you cry out.Â
You press yourself against the door, opening it quickly and falling in the sand. Jungkook and Hoseok follow you out, worried for your safety and your quickly declining state of mind.
Jimin scoffs again. Pathetic, he thinks. Humans are scared of their own shadows. He turns his attention on the merman, waiting impatiently. He tries to ignore how close the others are to him as the men huddle around to look at the necklace.Â
Jimin holds the gem in his hand, inspecting it. The weight of it in his palm is heavy. He touches the smooth rock, the gem itself is small, but the energy surrounding it is immense, a familiar power the vampire canât quite put his finger on. âWhy isnât it glowing?â he thinks, and as soon as the thought enters his mind a slow bright red light begins to emanate around the gem.Â
âWhatâs going on?â The pack leader questions, staring at the gem, ready to strike anything that appears.Â
âI donât know.â Jimin doesnât know how to stop it, but he wishes for whatever is happening to halt.
And as soon as the thought entered his mind the glow begins to recede back into the gem.
âJimin, you should hold onto that necklace for now.â Seokjin speaks.
Jimin looks up and the expression on Seokjinâs face surprises the younger vampire. Heâs seen that hardened look before from Seokjin, in moments when the older vampire begins to feel sentimental. Most recently, the night you came to them. Jimin never questioned it before, but now he wants to, he wants to know all the secrets Seokjin is keeping from him. Jimin is beginning not to trust him-
He grabs the eldestâs shirt collar, yanking him close. âYou know what this is?â
Seokjin remains unaffected by Jiminâs outburst, covering Jiminâs hand with his own. âNow that Iâve looked at it up close, yes, Iâve seen it before. I believe, that necklace,â he sighs, âused to be yours. A long time ago, I saw you wear it. Or something very similar,â he swallows.
But before you, Jimin has never seen this necklace before in his life! He stares at the gem. That familiarity he feels canât beâ no, that feeling is just like the other moments of deja vu he has been experiencing, itâs not becauseâŚis it? Does this necklace belong to him?
You stare at the wolvesâ den, refusing to move any closer. Nothing has happened yet, there is no red glow, and no immediate danger, but you feel at any moment everything could change. You look up at the sky, itâs still daytime, but not for much longer, and youâre worried-
âY/n?â Hoseok shakes you when you donât respond.
âHoseokâŚâ You wonder how many times this moment has repeated itself. Has Hoseok looked at you like this before, his care for you evident in his soft gaze? You try to remember and make sense of what is real. âThat necklace, Taehyung used it to escape. I-I donât know how, I donât know why. Iâ Ahhh!â
Your nails dig into your scalp as you desperately try to claw away at the pain. The pain is radiating at your temples, just behind your eyes, in the back of your head, behind your ear-
âHey, y/n, hey!â Hoseok holds your trembling body, patting your cheek, reminded of the moment he found you on the beach. Your eyes stare at the sky, far away, like youâre lost in your head, unable to hear him.
âW-Whatâs happening to her?!â Jungkook whimpers. You just came back to him and now he fears he might lose you completely.
Hoseok picks you up into his arms, holding you securely to him. âI donât know, Namjoon will know. Iâm taking her back inside.â
You want to tell him no, you want to tell him to wait, you donât want to go back in, but you canât find the energy to open your mouth to speak the words. Your body is betraying you, your vision starts to cloud, and you realize darkness is coming for you, even with the sun still high up in sky. You wish more than ever, you could start over again-
-
âYoongi, do you have anything left that might be powerful enough?â Namjoon asks.
âOh,â you groan, falling forward, unable to hold yourself up. The youngest of the pack wraps his arms around your waist, pulling you into his embrace before your knees hit the ground.
Jimin looks around, the gem still heavy in his palm. âThe necklace,â he murmurs. It didnât glow red this time and yet-
âJimin!â The merman hisses, glaring at the vampire who has somehow taken the gem from Yoongi without him noticing, âDonât move.â
Jiminâs body, and mind, suddenly feel sluggish. It lasts only a moment before the vampire is shaking himself out of the mermanâs mind control. Jimin canât help but laugh at his weak attempt.Â
âDONâT MOVE,â Yoongi bellows, his words echoing throughout the wolvesâ den, and everyone, including Jimin, freezes.
âWhat are you doing, Yoongi?!â Namjoon grunts, stuck in place by the mermanâs words.
âI donât know how, but he stole that from me, from my pack.â The merman walks with purpose while Jimin struggles to move.Â
Your eyes go wide when you notice whatâs happened. âItâs not his fault,â you mumble, glancing at Namjoon, your eyes and mouth the only part of you able to move, âI think...w-weâre stuck in a time loop.â
âA w-what?â Hoseok grunts, trying with all his might to turn his head.
âW-Well...itâs a lot t-to explain and youâll probably forget it all anyways,â you whine.
Namjoon raises his brow. He can only slightly move his neck now, and struggles to turn his head to look at you. âPerhaps you should explain anyways. Now.â His tone is serious, potentially menacing if you were being honest.
âI know it sounds crazy, and I know you donât want him to, shit, what haven't I explained to you yet? Jimin hasnât actually bitten me yet, well, technically not yet, he has, but it was before I came back, from the future, into now-another time thing.â You start to remember clearly now, though it seems to be still very hard to explain, âAnyways, I know about Jiminâs past! And everything, and-â
âIs she making sense to you?â Hoseok mutters.
âOh youâre so lucky we havenât had this conversation before or I would be really blowing your mind,â you grunt.
Jiminâs arms jerk backwards as he fights the mermanâs impressive mind control. âItâs mine! Give it back!â Jimin hisses as Yoongi plucks the gem out of the vampireâs hand mere seconds before Jimin regains control of himself again.
âJimin, we donât have the time,â you groan, your limbs finally moving again. âJimin!â you yell, pulling the vampireâs attention away before he attacks the merman in his anger.Â
You struggle in Jungkookâs arms, holding out your wrist to Jimin hopefully. âYou know what you have to do, before it happens again!âÂ
âNo!â Jungkook barks, lifting you off your feet to end your advance.Â
Jimin exhales. This is insufferable, youâre insufferable, youâre, fuckâ Itâs happening again. He bares his fangs, letting his anger simmer over this constant deja vu.Â
âWait! Let me see it, that necklace,â Seokjin steps forward curiously.
Yoongi throws his arm backwards out of the vampireâs reach, the gold chain accidentally hitting your outstretched hand.
The gem touching your finger.
It felt like just a graze, so quickly it couldnât have been longer than a second. Yet you felt it through your whole body.
And then pulling right behind your ear.Â
And finally you understood as the brightest flash of red light quickly comes and goes. You hear his voice again, commanding you to do something else, something horrible...
You want to tell them all to run, to escape, but the only words your lips can speak are-
âTaehyung, come in.â
The door shatters, knocking everyone inside to the ground.
The back of your ear feels like itâs on fire and like you summoned the devil himself, Taehyung appears behind you, lifting you up. âAhh princess, now where did you put my jewel?â
You stand paralyzed by fear, as if gravity chained your limbs to your body.
âTaehyung, leave her alone!â Jungkook roars, and he somehow looks more imposing than the pack leader himself.
Taehyung laughs, looking around incredulously at the monsters surrounding him.Â
âIâm saving her from you!â He pulls you close and despite your fear, you gravitate to him. It reminds you of Yoongiâs siren song, but more painful, dark, like ropes around your limbs, a noose around your throat. âYou would rather use her, draining her life away because you want a pretty pet-â he looks at Seokjin, â-or keep her here on this island, chained like a prisoner, like you did to me! You just canât see her potential!â
âYou...betrayed Jimin...this is all your fault,â you grunt, barely able to speak the words out loud.Â
Taehyung looks at you, eyes softening. âYour loyalty to my brother is sweet. After everything they did to you. You really are perfect. I knew it when I first met you, we were fated to meet. You were the one who was going to save me, and now I can save you.â He holds you close, embracing you how he always wanted to, no chains or shackles between you anymore. âYou saw Jiminâs story and believed him. Iâll show you mine, y/n. Youâll see once and for all.â
Yoongiâs nose is bleeding from the explosion. He has the gem hidden in his palm. He doesnât quite understand how Taehyung appeared so suddenly, or what the gem has to do with it, but he figures no good will come from Taehyung having it, and he intends to risk everything to keep it away from Taehyung.Â
He looks at your pain stricken expression and suddenly realizes, no, he canât risk everything.
âThey should have cut off your hands,â Yoongi mutters, wiping away the dried blood from under his nose and standing up. âThy were too nice to you. When I defeat you Iâll make sure your next cell is underground and twice as small,â the merman tries to goad Taehyung away from you.
âMonster,â Taehyung frowns. âDo you know how many humans he has killed, y/n? How many theyâve all killed? Have I ever killed anyone!â he yells.
âYou were going to kill Seokjin!â Jimin argues.
âSeokjin is evil!â he yells back. âAnd not a human.â
âOkay, Taehyung, you want retribution, weâre all here now. So let y/n go, canât you see how scared she is?â Namjoon questions, crouching low in fighting stance. His calmness is even more menacing than his anger, you think.
âShe doesnât want me to let her go,â Taehyung smiles, his chin pressing into your shoulder as he continues to hug you close. âTell them you want to be with me.â
âI want to be with Taehyung,â you cry out, terrified how the words left your lips so quickly, of the way your control is slipping away.
âSee, sheâs my destiny.â He grins, triumph dripping from his words.
No, no, no. You clutch your chest, where the pain emanates the most, right over your heart.
âOh, thatâs where it went.â Taehyung sighs, petting your head softly. âIâm sorry, one of my attacks must have hit you hard. Letâs go back, out of reach this time. Now, where is my necklace? Tell me, y/n.â
Yoongi, Yoongi has it. Itâs Yoongi. Itâs Yoongi. Itâs Yoongi. Yoongi.
You clench your jaw so tight your teeth begin to hurt. âWho took it?â he asks sweetly.
âYoongi...â You begin to cry. âPlease donât hurt him!â
The merman speaks up, âOh, he wonât hurt me.â
âYou havenât changed at all, so arrogant, acting like youâre better than everyone else!â Taehyung says, staring at Yoongiâs closed fist. He flicks his wrist over, fingers pulling at the air.Â
A glowing red light starts emanating from Yoongiâs palm, an inescapable power ready to burst from the tiny gem, red streaks of light between his fingers cut through the wolfâs den, knocking back anything it touches.
Yoongi yells in pain, but he refuses to let go of the necklace.Â
Unlike the others, when the red light hits Taehyung, he can easily redirect it with his hand, and his beam hits Seokjin, knocking the vampire right in the chest.
You see singes across the eldest vampireâs body, his clothes tattered and deep burn scars across his skin. Yoongiâs hand looks charred too, he yells and doubles over in pain, still fighting to hold onto the necklace. The others are fast, dodging the attacks, but how long can they last?Â
Hoseok is hit next, he turns into a wolf instantly, charging towards you. Namjoon runs in to attack Taehyung, who shifts your body in front of the leader.Â
The wolves are trying so hard to save you from Taehyung, it breaks your heart to witness the pain they are going through. How can you save them? Protect them? You feel so useless, so human and fragile. A mere pawn in a game played between kings.
If only there was a way to restart this day again.
âY/n, donât,â Taehyung whispers in your ear.
The wolves are too worried for your safety to use their full force, something Taehyung uses to his full advantage as he moves closer to the merman still fighting to hold onto the gem.
Jimin doesnât care about your safety. He crashes into both of you.
You feel the weight of both men on top of you, suffocating you as Taehyung covers your body with his to take the brunt of the vampireâs wild attacks.
However, Taehyungâs physical strength seems to be unmatched, he throws the vampire as if Jimin weighed nothing with only one arm, the other holding your wrist so you canât get away.
He moves closer to the struggling merman.
This canât be happening, it canât end this way, after everything youâve been through.
Perhaps it was how close to victory Taehyung had been, so close he was only thinking about the outcome of his winning, the great future ahead of him. He was distracted just enough, and the reigns he had held over you loosened just a bit. It cleared your mind just enough, made you hope, wish for help to come for Yoongi and the others.
Your wish fluttered inside you like a heartbeat, pulling you, and this time, pulling everyoneâŚ
Through timeâŚ
To a place where the merman had an advantage. Your wish was granted.
The thumping receded and seawater filled every space around you suddenly. You were underwater, deep in the sea. You looked around and saw red and blue flashes of light, the shadows of the beastâs bodies around you, blood like red ribbons leaving their wounds. You slowly kick towards the sky.
How deep are you? You donât know if you can make it to get in air in time.
You scream, the sound muffled underwater, when fingers reach for your hair, jerking your head down.
Itâs Jimin. By the look in his eyes you think he might drain you right here, let you drown in a sea of blood, but he reaches for your hand instead and pulls you to the surface at inhuman speed.Â
Spluttering, you gasp in air as the ocean lights up the night with streaks of power flashing under water.
âYouâre coming with me,â he grunts, dragging your body back to land.
âYoongi! The others!â
âHold your breath!â Jimin pulls you back under when Taehyung resurfaces.
You inhale in quickly. You see the sparkling mermanâs tail reflecting under water as he attacks Taehyung again.
Red light explodes underwater. Pulsing through the ocean, knocking you back into Jimin. He pulls you away from the fighting, closer to shore until you can stand above water.
You try to keep up, but the night waves crash into your body knocking you off your feet. Jimin drops you into shallow water. You gasp for breath while he looks over you. It reminded you of when you first met him, the way his body is over yours. But his eyes arenât the same, thereâs no hatred in them like before, Jimin looks lost, Jimin looksâŚsad.
He grabs the front of your dress and rips it, exposing your cleavage. Your arms cover your chest and he yanks those away too. You almost scream, but he doesnât do anything but look at you. Then his finger traces the scars on your chest, making you shudder. The scar lines form a deep v across your chest, connecting around your neck.
âIt was you.â He grips your neck, startling you. âFix it. Now!â
Moonlight is speckling the oceanâs surface. The water calmer than usual. âTake us back to before Taehyung arrived. BeforeâŚâ he shudders, looking out at the ocean, up towards the moon angrily. âThis is your fault.â Jimin lunges for you, his claws pulled quickly away by Jungkook rushing to your side. Jungkook picks up your exhausted body, wading deeper in the water, glaring at the vampire. âLetâs go.â
âFollow me.â Yoongi yells, further out.
When you reach Yoongi, the youngest reluctantly hands you to him. âWhereâs Taehyung?â
âHeâŚtook the necklace,â Yoongi says bitterly. âReady?â
You look at the dark water all around you. âW-Where are we going?â
âMy home.â
-
Yoongi swims down to the sea floor. You hold his hand, let the current and his strong fin lead you to the furthest depths of the ocean.
Thereâs no light, only the faint sparkling reflection of Yoongiâs tail is visible to your human eyes.
Your feet touch the sandy floor. The pain in your ears lessens the longer Yoongi breathes air into you. Itâs an odd feeling, walking the sea floor, a place certainly no other living human could walk alone.
âJin.â Your body stiffens in fright. You see the vampire, lying suspended upon the ocean floor. It frightens you how dead he looks, floating there, but for as long as youâve known him, Jin has always been dead, hasn't he? Jimin passes, hooking Seokjinâs floating arm over his shoulder and pulling the vampire along.
You reach an underwater cave and swim inside. Itâs tunnels are vast. The coral crevices hold things, some are man-made items, some magical.
The coral of the cave winds around, creating tunnels that are compact, walls that are cramped together. Itâs dark and lonely inside, there is no light, no warmth. Is this where Yoongi stayed? It makes you feel sorry for the merman, makes you want to fill his life with warmth. He swims around quickly pulling things from inside the pockets of coral.
Itâs impressive how the wolves can hold their breath, but even at this depth for so long they are having trouble. Even you are almost out of the air Yoongi gave you.
The merman swims to the caveâs bottom. Thereâs a purple wooden door situated at the cave floor with a spoked handle. The color reminds you of the one in Seokjinâs office. He begins to turn the vault handle quickly, unlocking the door. You watch, holding your body against one of the coral walls, making sure you don't float away.Â
You begin to choke on water. The door opens finally and the others rush inside, quickly escaping down into the depths. Yoongi finds you, kissing you. Slowly, taking his time now.Â
Submerged in the water, floating, he became the only thing that grounded you. You wish you could speak underwater and tell him how sorry you were for letting Taehyung inside, for causing this all to happen. You kept your lips pressed to his, hoping to convey how apologetic you felt. Yoongi hugs you close and dives into the vault.
You break the surface of the water, somehow right side up now. You wipe the water away from your face as Yoongi holds you to him. You look around the small cave, a part of the underground cave system inside the island. You look down at your bodies still submerged in the water, you should be upside down. How is that possible?
It never ceases to amaze you, the magicalness of this place.
âHow is he?â you call out.
âIâve seen better days.â The vampire in question grunts. Seokjin has definitely seen better days, the usually put together vampire is the most beaten youâve ever seen him, lying on the cave floor unable to move.
âJin, would it help?â you offer your wrist to him. You were the only human here.
Seokjin swallows, âYes.â
âLet me help him,â you beg the others. Namjoon lifts you out of the cave pool. Everyone looks so beaten they don't fight you, they stay silent as you make your way to Seokjin.
âAre you sure, Dove?â he grunts.
You nod, lying against him, finally letting your tired muscles relax. Seokjin drank from you countless of times before, whatâs one more?
---
Jimin breaks Seokjinâs jade statue, smashing it to pieces.
âGet away from me!â he screams, âw-who are you?!â
You see Seokjin and Namjoon standing next to him. And you see Hoseok. You see Taehyung.
âIs it normal to forget?â Taehyung asks, watching Jimin curiously.
âNoâŚno,â Seokjin swallows. Had Seokjin really been too late to save Jimin?
Jimin screams and screams, clawing at his throat. Itâs dry and itchy, he feels like heâs burning from the inside out. âStop. Stop it!â The pain wonât stop!
âHe needs blood,â Hoseok says, his tone urgent and worried.
âIf we bring someone to the island, heâs not going to be able to control himself.â
âIâll find someone no one will miss,â Hoseok suggests.
âNo, itâs still a life.â Namjoon interjects, watching the display, clenching his jaw when Jimin screams again.
âAnd what about Jimin?!â Hoseok argues. âWhat about his life?!â You can feel his anger, you feel it too within Seokjin.
âIf itâs someone who deserves it, someone bad?â Taehyung speaks up, wincing as he watches his friend writhe in pain.
âLetâs go hunt one last time, old friend,â Seokjin mumbles, unable to look Namjoon in the eyes, watching instead the horrible state Jimin is in.
âOkay, okay.â
It was an easier find than they had thought. During a dark club night, the music boomed as a regular flirted with a young woman. Upon entering the club, Namjoon and Seokjin noticed all the tell tale signs immediately, the signs of a predator..
While Namjoon bumped into the couple, and riled up the man by cozying up to his unsuspecting victim, Seokjin quickly switched their drinks, the one the man had spiked for his date switched with his clean one. While the drug worked its magic, you looked around the club, listening to old music. You watched the bodies on the dance floor move together in almost one fluid motion. You missed it, realizing how long itâs been since youâve had that kind of fun. Your heart raced as the beat of the song quickened, as urgency ran through the vampireâs cold veins instead of blood. You want to dance. You want to kill that man. You want to save Jimin. Complicated emotions filter through Seokjin and into you.
Your mouth goes slack as you press your body closer, your hands fisting Seokjinâs tattered shirt. âYouâre taking too much!â Namjoon barks.Â
âIâm sorry.â Seokjin licks your wounds clean as your vision goes hazy and you slump against him. No, you wanted to see more, to listen to more-
---
âWhere are you, sweetheart?â
âTaehyung?â
Taehyung covers your cheek with his hand. âTell me where you are so I can find you, get you away from them.â
âNo! You stay away from them!â
Taehyungâs arms cage you in, his body above yours. âY/n, please,â he begs, lowering himself over you. âI can leave the island now, but I don't want to go, not without you.â He wraps his arms around your body, hugging you close to him in a suffocating embrace. âPlease come with me, I donât want to be alone anymore.â
Despite everything, you feel sorry for him as he shakes against you.
No, no, no! Heâs the same man who tried to betray Seokjin. What would he have done to Jimin if he had succeeded? What is he going to do to you? You press against his shoulders, trying to push him off of you. Taehyung covers your lips with his own, lessening your resolve.
His lips work a different kind of magic, he presses his tongue inside your mouth, runs it over your own, tilting his head and deepening the kiss. You grip his shoulders, unsure whether to push him away or closer. He kisses you for so long you wonder how he hasnât broken away to take a breath, you wonder why you donât have the need to either.
You gasp when Taehyung decides to move lower down your body, his lips licking across your neck. By now, heâs made sure to keep you locked to him, holding onto both your wrists so you canât push against him. Even when he shifts his digits and intertwines your fingers, he keeps his weight heavy on you.
âItâs not fair, I can only have you in my dreams like this,â he chuckles against your skin. âPlease be with me. Together we can explore the whole world, do whatever we want.â Taehyung was so excited to see all the new technology you had described to him during your long visits. He wants to experience it all with you.
You take in a ragged breath, suppressing a moan every time he sucks and rolls his tongue over your skin. âPromise me you wonât hurt them.â
âI promise.â
You donât believe him.
You canât believe him.
It feels like a lie, it all feels like a lie.
âWhere are you?â
âIn a cave.â
âThere are thousands of caves on the island, do you know where?â
âI d-donât know.â
Itâs true you don't know, but there are words you could use to describe the cave. You could tell Taehyung how you got there, about Yoongiâs magical door. But you bite those words down, hiding the whole truth.
âDonât worry, Iâll find you.â He rests his forehead against yours, runs his thumb over your kiss bitten lips. He can't wait to have you, to mark you, to make you like him.
You touch the necklace dangling from Taehyungâs neck, and he rips your hand away, gripping your wrist so tightly you can feel the pressure in your bones.
Fear trickles down your spine and catches in your throat once you realize how entangled you are to him, how easily he could hurt you if he wanted to. The Taehyung you knew had been so unthreatening, like a lonely puppy tied to a tree, only wanting attention.
The shackles took away any threatening aura, you only ever felt safe with him, you hadn't yet known what he was capable of...
Taehyung feels your heart beat jumping against his lips. âYouâre scared of me, why?â he frowns. âHave I ever given you a reason to believe I would ever hurt you? Jimin hurt you, Seokjin hurt you,â he adds.
You swallow, unable to answer him. Heâs right.
âIf you hated Seokjin so much...why did you want to become like him?â
Taehyung holds you loosely now, smiling softly. âYou know...Namjoon, Hoseok, Jungkook, their powers slow their aging, but one day, theyâre going to grow old, theyâre going to grow weak. Theyâre going to die,â he hums.
âT-Thatâs no excuse-â
âSometimes we have to lose everything to gain everything.â
âIs that what you told Jimin before you took everything from him?!â
âSeokjinâs affliction really did rub off on you. What will you say when you make him remember and he still wants to rip your throat out?â
You swallow, silenced by his words.
âTell me where you are so I can protect you,â he presses his lips upon the column of your neck tenderly.
âT-The cave-â
âYes?â Taehyung runs his tongue along your throat, enjoying the way you tremble against him.
â-a d-door-â
His hands knead your side, up your body, gripping your mounds, caressing your suppleness.
âA door? Invite me in then, sweetheart.â
Your fingers tangle his hair, pulling him closer to you. Then run down his neck, slipping under his necklace.
You yank the gold chain, screaming.
---
âYouâre awake,â Jungkook says happily. Youâre lying nestled in between bodies, warm in the otherwise cold and dark cave. âAre y-you okay?â
You close your eyes, calming down, shaking your head, worried your words wonât be your own.
Namjoon holds your hand, âY/n, can you tell us anything about what happened to the watch I gave you?â
Your hand cups your neck, where Seokjinâs bite is now healed over. âT-Taehyung, he said he would âfixâ the watch for me. He must have, because...it must have been, three months ago? I found that red amulet, it was from Seokjinâs shop, it appeared in my hand and then I heard Taehyungâs voice in my head, andâŚand I-I had no control...â You remember it clearly now, âThe watch took me back in time and broke as soon as I used it.â
You look down at your hands. âBut I still had the one I hadnât used yet, from this timeâŚâ you say, absentmindedly touching your collarbone out of reflex. âWhen the explosion happened, I-I donât know, I-I lost them.â Namjoon inspects your neck, gently adjusting the torn fabric of your dress.
He looks over his shoulder, where the merman lazily swims in the cave pool. âYoongi?â he asks.Â
âThe stronger the magic, the more uncontrollable it becomes. If Taehyungâs attack hit her...and the watchâŚanything could be possible.â
âWhat do you mean?â you ask.
âDoes that human brain of yours not work at all anymore?â Hoseok complains, sitting at the top of your head, looking down at you with crossed arms. âThe watchâs magic, itâs inside you.â
â...what,â you ask horrified. You trace the scars across your chest, running up your clavicle and around your neck.
âYou were trying to protect yourself from Taehyung,â Yoongi says knowingly. âYou took us forward in time.â
Yoongi had noticed the stronger tides, looked up at the moon, and realized the phase had shifted 4 days ahead.
But how could that be? Then when he mentioned it to the others, they all realizedâŚ
âI-I canât control it.â
âAnd weâre not even sure what it does to her when she uses it,â Hoseok says, concerned, thinking the worst. There is no telling what will happen to you in the end, are you losing hours off your life? Days?Â
âWhereâs Jimin?â
âCooling off, taking a late night swim.â Seokjin sighs. âDove, what happened between you and Jimin in this future of yours that makes you think he will be so cooperative?â
It felt wrong, telling his story, intimate memories that he didnât even have the chance to see yet. âHis pastâŚâ
âYou know his whole past?â Hoseok asks. You nod. âAnd you trust him? After everything you know?â
âYou donât know what heâs been through! Taehyung-â
âThey worked together to betray us all,â Hoseok scoffed.
You shake your head. âTaehyung knew Jimin before he knew you, Hoseok.â Youâve seen enough of their memories together to see how protective Hoseok had been over Taehyung. But the secrets Jimin and Taehyung had kept werenât even knowledgeable to Jimin anymore.
âNo-â
âYes.â
âDid you know about this?â Hoseok turns to his pack leader.Â
He shakes his head no, âThey acted like strangers. Did you know?â Namjoon turns to Seokjin.
âHe didnât speak much of his childhood, even when he was human.â Seokjin hums, âThe few memories of his childhood I pulled did not have any indication they knew each other. They had only become close after Jimin was turned.â
âNo, they were always close.â you say, sure of yourself. âI canât prove it, yet, but I donât think what happened was an accident,â you look at Hoseok. âIt wasnât your fault you lost control, Hoseok.â
Hoseok's eyes start to shine in the shadows of the cave as tears well up. âNo,â he says in disbelief. It was his fault. He turned Taehyung into a beast like him, and heâs never forgiven himself because of it.
He shakes his head, unable to let your words really hit him.
âWell, we can only learn the whole truth from Jimin himself. Help me this time, please?â
---
Jimin returns later than usual, right before sunrise, his mind no less at ease.
-
âWell, it almost worked last time.âÂ
-
Has Seokjin been drinking from you this whole time?! Jimin scoffs, settling himself away from you and the others.Â
Seokjin does it messily, letting the blood drip down your shoulder, covering your chest in the red liquid.
You let a soft whimper escape your lips, moaning. Seokjinâs hand moves from your hip to resting between your legs
âAre you going to be doing that all day?!â Jimin barks, his words echoing in the small cave.
âYou havenât drank in a while, brother. Come drink.â Jimin swallows hard, smelling your blood, the sweet iron scent fills the cave. He remembers the previous time loop, the taste of your blood still a strong memory. It never happened, he hasnât really tasted you, yet thatâs now all he can think about. He remembers it distantly like a dream. Or rather a nightmare, how can you possibly be this annoying to him without even trying? Jimin silently seethes as his throat becomes itchier and drier.
Jimin looks over at the wolves, who seem to be minding their own business. There is no way they are not affected by this...lewd display! He narrows his eyes on Hoseok, the jealous one, who sits crossed-legged and crossed-arms, eyes closed and jaw clenched.
-
âYouâre joking?â
âNo, I saw them do it before with other girls,â you mutter, unable to meet Hoseok's eyes, âin Seokjinâs memories.â
-
Jungkook rests his head against the pack leaderâs shoulder, shaking his legs to a song in his head he is using to distract himself, and Namjoon acts completely unaffected. Jimin scoffs, Namjoon sure has the best poker face, but Jimin knows this is bothering the pack. They probably finally figured out theyâre weaker ones amongst them, Jimin thinks.
âWell if you wonât, then I will.â Namjoon speaks up.
Namjoon pulls your leg, pulling you closer to him as he crawls over you. His strong hands press your legs open so he can settle in between them.
âYou know my kind bites too. We donât do it to suck blood, our bite is different. But, I wouldnât mind eating you up,â Namjoon teases, his deep voice even deeper in his gruffness.
You know this is just an act, but your heart escalates at the thought, remembering the younger werewolf acting so brazenly. Devious suits Namjoon so well, the roughness in his nature is so attractive.
Jimin grits his teeth at such a revolting thought.
âYouâre just going to let him put his filthy paws all over her? Youâre going to hand her over just like that?â
âI havenât let her go.â Seokjin caresses your temples, smearing blood across your face. âWe used to do this all the time. Iâve gotten used to Namjoonâs scent.â
Jimin looks away, looking for the merman, someone else he can yell at.
âJoon, wait. Jimin, did you want to drink from me instead?â
âNo thanks,â Jimin hisses.
You look back at Namjoon. Seokjin lifts your hand to his mouth, biting down on the fleshy part of your palm. It hurts, he is usually better at making the pain feel pleasurable, but his objective isnât your pleasure, itâs to cause maximum blood flow, to make you cry out in pain, knowing your whimpers will entice Jimin the most.
Namjoonâs lets his teeth scrape across your thigh. âShh little Dove.â He uses the pet name Seokjin gave you. âDonât cry, Iâll make you sing.â
Itâs so hot in this goddamn cave. The smell of everyoneâs arousal is assaulting, inescapable.
âMy turn next,â Hoseok calls out.
âIâm going to mark her as my mate,â Jungkook growls, eyes darkened at the sight of you writhing in pleasure and pain.
Jimin has had it. He has had to endure being in their company for this long, but now the dogs want to defile what is his? Yes, you are his and Seokjinâs! They paid fairly for you, you would be dead if it were not for them. You are theirs! You are his. And you are the only human left on this damned island, Jimin had searched all night for any signs of life to no avail.
âIâm going to rip out your teeth,â Jimin threatens lowly.
âDid you say something?â Hoseok says flippantly.
âYou donât think I know what youâre all doing?â
You look between yourselves in silence.
âYouâre just giving up! Taehyung really turned you into a bunch of cowardly dogs. Youâre just gonna stay in this cave like a bunch of animals in heat while Taehyung does god knows what!?â
You continue to look between yourselves in silence.
He points at you. âShe said if I bit her, we could stop Taehyung!â He yanks you to your feet so hard you feel the whiplash in your bones. âIsnât that right? SO WHY ARE YOU WASTING YOUR PRECIOUS TIME WITH THEM?!â Jimin yells so loud his words echo over and over again.
You blink. âYouâre right, Jimin.â
Jimin moves behind you, tilting your head. He licks the old blood off your shoulder, suppressing a groan at the taste. âIf this doesnât work-â he growls.
âIt will.â
âThen I wont stop until it does.â All your blood will be Jiminâs one way or another.
He licks his lips before sinking his teeth into the column of your neck.
---
Just like that, you and Jimin revisit his bedroom, a memory you both shared, your past and his future had Taehyungâs plan not have worked.
-
Jimin roars, pulling away. Your body spasms with too much blood loss. Jimin looks down, your blood covering his body, his pants undone. How is he in bed with you? He was just in the mermanâs cave, drinking your blood.
No, he is in the mermanâs cave. This is a memory.
Jimin remembers.Â
He gently turns your body over. Your breathing is ragged, strained, your eyes try to focus on the vampire above you.
Now you remember, it was the first time Jimin looked at you without hatred in his eyes. Tearing the flesh from his arm, he puts the wound over your mouth and you drink until your body relaxes. Then cautiously, Jimin lowers himself over you again, ready to see more.
---
Jin steps closer, followed by the rest of the men.Â
Was Jimin still drinking from you?
Neither of you made any movement.
You both fell to your knees with Jiminâs fangs deep in your neck, your eyes glazed over and out of focus.Â
âWhat happened?â Namjoon whispers to the eldest vampire. He wasnât quite sure, neither of you were responsive, both lost in your heads.Â
âLittle Dove?â
---
I am so excited to write some backstory finally!!! Are you excited for the next chapter?

Chapter List - Previous - Next
It has officially been two weeks since your acquaintance with Jungkook began and things are going well. You just need to find a way to communicate to your family that ... well, their firstborn is seriously considering marriage to a vampire. Not that they have the right to decide for you or anything, and you also know that your mother would support you in anything, but the real big hurdles to overcome answer to the names of Dad and Mirae.
They will not be happy with such news, your sister might even try to assassinate him at the first possible opportunity, you shudder at the very thought of such a thing, you hope that Jungkook's beauty will divert her from committing such actions.
You are just thinking of calling your mother when the phone starts ringing nonstop, you check the name on the display and a smile arises spontaneously.
<<To what do I owe the honor of this call, Mr. Jeon?>>.
You hear laughter on the other end of the line, <<Uhm...I don't know, maybe I have good news for my sweet little human?>>.
You blush at the last words, but decide to tease him a little, <<Mr. Jeon finally decided to date yours truly?>>.
It is not unusual for company managers to work overtime, but Jungkook is working far too much of it. You haven't seen him since that evening at the beach spent exchanging first kisses and promises, since which time his schedule has become so busy as to be intolerable, at least for you.
You hear a whine on the other end of the phone, much like the whine of a puppy.
<<I don't like this distance either.... Seokjin is busy with wedding preparations and has left everything to us, Jimin is getting more and more distracted and it's up to me to sort out the messes he makes, sorry, it's hellish days>> it's not hard for you to imagine why Jimin is so uncaring, with parents like his there's a lot to lose your mind.
<<All right, all right... it's just that I miss you>> you mumble shyly covering your face, even though you are in the copy room and there is no one there to watch you.
<<Don't say that... this is where the good stuff comes in, Jimin has made Jin aware of the situation your company is in, a meeting has been arranged and it is likely that we will meet there>>.
You widen your eyes, trying to suppress the shriek that almost escapes your mouth. Jimin really did his part! When you see him again, you will jump on his neck to crush him in a strong hug.
And then... Jungkook will see where you work. You will meet as colleagues and ... e... oh, dear. You imagine him in a suit and tie, it must be such a sexy sight to-.
<<I know what you're imagining>> he hums like a nightingale, making your heart flutter.
<<What? I'm not imagining anything at all>> you immediately get defensive, unable to control the tremor in your tone.
<<So you didn't just imagine me in a suit and tie, did you?>> but what the fuck-, <<And you didn't imagine our eyes meeting with longing, me taking you by the hand ... to lead you into the copy room in the throes of a sudden urge, locking the door behind us to be left alone, you and me, in the complete intimacy of darkness>> you stare around alarmed, but what the fuck-.
<<How did you know I was in the copy room?>>.
<<I didn't know, I just guessed, you're at work and yet there's too much silence in the air around you, plus that's where I'd have the time of my life with my work colleague slash wonderful girl>>.
He wants to kill you or what, exactly?! Then to say such things while you are clearly in working hours, where everyone could hear him talking like that... that guy is your pleasurable torture.
<<This wonderful girl might decide to close the phone in your face in case you don't stop saying such nonsense!>> you blurt out with burning ears, cautiously looking at the door.
<<You won't, if you like me at least a little, you won't>> he says with great conviction.
You rest your back against the wall.
<<I like you very much, Mr. Jeon>>.
You close your eyelids and in the darkness that greets you you see him, sitting behind his desk with the phone handset pressed to his ear, a grin plastered on those perpetually rosy lips, his big dark eyes scrolling across the screen of his company computer. In your fantasy he has the first buttons of his shirt open, his long, wavy hair instead pulled back, leaving on display that pristine forehead on which you would have left a million kisses.
<<I really like you too, Y/N>>.
You nod, that may be enough for the moment, <<I know, I just hope you won't make me wait too long>>.
<<So... shall we make it the day after tomorrow?>>.
What?
<<What? What, the day after tomorrow?>> you croak in panic, not understanding what he is referring to.
<<Our date, of course! I want to take you somewhere nice, I've neglected you too much>>.
You smile smugly, suddenly calming down, <<Wow, Jeon Jungkook... you're just the boy of my dreams>>.
<<I was born to be, baby... aish, I have to go now, Yoongi is silently yelling at me to end the callâŚ>> you giggle confusedly, who the heck is Yoongi?
The two of you say an unceremonious goodbye, according to him Yoongi is already in danger of throwing up his breakfast and wants to prevent that from happening.
You take the long-made photocopies from the machine and start to open the door, when you lift your eyes to the figure behind it you immediately jump in fright.
âYoongyu! Goodness, what are you doing there?â you ask with one hand pressed at heart level, he stares at you strangely with his thin eyes reproachfully.
âAre you dating Jeon Jungkook, Y/N? I hope you know what he is,â you sigh, printing a fake smile on your face.
âA vampire? Yes, I know what he is and I don't care.â
You try to go around him to go straight for your own way, but he holds you by the shoulder, your heart churning anxiously as you cast a glance at his hand in amazement. What on earth is he doing?
Firmly you shrug him off, casting him a warning glance.
âI don't know what your problem is, but you have no right to put your hands on me like that, I hope this never happens againâ your mind is stuck on what to do and not to do, he is your superior, but the two of you have always maintained a friendly relationship, even after your breakup. But it is also true that after that breakup he had never again allowed himself to touch you, not even in a gesture of greeting, so what the heck is wrong with him now?
He does not seem disturbed by your words, in fact, he smiles at them, âAre you going to let a vampire do it for me, then? Think about it, I put more than just a hand on you in the past, and I gave you all the time you needed to come back to me, now you come out seeing a vampire? And then, what? Are you going to look for a way to bring little monsters like him into the world? Don't be ridiculous and come back to me,â he tries again to touch you, this time stroking a lock of your hair, but once again you push him away.
Inside you feel like you're dying, your stomach is twisting from a sickening feeling. Who did you get so close to?
All the happiness you felt during your conversation with Jungkook has vanished into the air, in front of you is a real monster, one of those that hides in the shadows with a nice reassuring smile, posing as a human.
âMove over, Director. I don't have time to waste with you.â
He shakes his head, behind his eyes you can read irritation.
âYou treat one of your superiors like this? Valentine had told me about this vampire fixation of yours, I investigated convinced it was just one of her usual nonsense, instead it's all true...I never expected such behavior from you, have you already forgotten me so easily with one of them?â you swallow your own air, you don't even have any saliva left to swallow, you stare over his shoulder in search of any exit, but block the passage entirely, there was little you could do.
âWe ended our acquaintance because we wanted different things, do you remember that?â
âYes, the excuse that you wanted something serious and I didn't... bullshit, the only obstacle at the moment is my mother, she wants me to marry an heiress, I could never let her down so I had decided to let you go... but to hear that you will so quietly give yourself to a bloodsucker fills me with anger, am I really that forgettable to you?â
You look at him in dismay, not only because he is talking to you so arrogantly, but also because of all the mean things he is spewing about vampires, about Jungkook.
âI'm telling you again, get out of my way before I scream,â you hiss forcefully despite your trembling legs, you know you'd have little to do against him, but that wouldn't stop you from defending yourself should the need arise, his status be damned.
But to your surprise he shifts, although his expression remained insolent.
âI need you to make a decision, don't make me wait too long, I'll be around for you.â
You take a big breath, trying to calm down, âI've already made a decision, I'm going to get on with my life and you need to stay out of it, before I report you,â you answer him harshly, before hurriedly stepping over him, returning to your office, ignoring his derisive chuckle.
There you find Valentine talking on the phone absentmindedly, your anger goes into your bloodstream as soon as you realize how quiet she is, despite the situation she has put you in, and you find your outlet, suddenly one of your hands slams down on the desk hard, right in front of her, who jumps in fright and stares at you shocked, as if you have suddenly gone crazy, hastily closes the call and then yells at you.
âWhat the hell is wrong with you!â
âHow dare you tell Yoongyu my personal affairs! I don't think you had the right!â you are deaf to the pain in your hand, at that moment you would love to encircle her neck with your hands so that you could choke her with extreme comfort, but you try to control yourself.
Valentine pales, âW-Wait a minute! He was the one who asked me for information!â
Information?
âInformation of what kind, Valentine?â you growl at her.
She wrings her hands in agitation, there you realize she's done more than just blurt out your experiences with boys lately.
âHe wanted to know if you were dating ... and I told him you're hooked on that vampire app by now!â then she also says more, to your horror, âHe also wanted your personal phone number, said it was an emergency because he couldn't reach you on the one you use for work, and then ...â
Fuck, what else would there be?
âShe asked me where you usually went out to eat when you went out, I thought you'd like to be wooed by someone like him, you're too hung up on those vampires, and Yoongyu is handsome, rich, and most of all, human!â she exclaims as if you have to necessarily agree with her. You, on the other hand, are realizing more and more that you have been working all this time with an unconscious madwoman.
âMaybe he didn't have my phone number because I didn't want him to have it? Did it seem smart to you to give it to him without even asking my consent, you jolly goose! Besides, you don't get to decide who I should or should not date! Get it through that empty head of yours!â
âWhat else could I do? He's the boss here and what he wants he'll get, don't think I wanted to give it to him so easily anyway! I resisted at first!â
You bring your hands to your face, betrayed so foolishly by one who should know absolutely nothing about you in the first place, fucking camaraderie among colleagues, âDon't you dare lie to me so shamelessly, we all know that everything you come to know then the rest of the building knows!â
Evidently your rant must have hurt her, since she leaves the office crying, but at that moment it matters little to you; you have much else to think about now. You collapse in your chair, exhausted. This is something to be taken seriously, so you have to talk to someone about it? Should you report it, so that if something happened to you, suspicion would be immediately on him?
And should you let Jungkook know about this situation?
Shake your head immediately, you need calm. You can't ruin someone's career in case it was words dictated solely by the anger of the moment, his distaste for vampires has poisoned his good judgment, that's all.
Nothing was going to happen.
Plus there was confidence between you, perhaps he thought you would not be bothered by that attitude of his, no matter how villainous.
But despite those thoughts, the next few hours are hell.
Once you leave work you begin to look around circumspectly, see shadows where there are none and hear nonexistent voices in the stretches of road with fewer people, because you forgot your car keys at home, leading you to make the foolish decision to ride the bus to work because of your laziness?
Do your shoulders curve under the weight of anxiety, are you in trouble?
Exactly two days have passed, nothing of all that you feared has happened. No disturbing messages, no harassing calls, and especially no shadows to haunt you every time you turn a corner. You were right, Yoongyu was all smoke and mirrors, fortunately.
With a calmer mind you continue to prepare for the evening you'll spend with Jungkook, let your hair down on your shoulders, treating it with the best products for its care, you want it to be soft and shiny for him. As for the dress, well, you chose it carefully. You don't know where it will take you, so your choice fell on a high-waisted sugar paper-colored, knee-length, simple and very pretty little dress with matching white heeled shoes and very natural makeup. You nod at your own reflection, you are proud of your appearance that night and nothing will change your opinion.
You take your handbag with everything you need and add a light white stole to it, the weather has been crazy in the last period and from practically summer days it has turned to very cold nights.
As if in a sort of DĂŠjĂ Vu the doorbell rings gently to let you know there is someone waiting for you, you let out a sigh and arrived at the door you look through the peephole just in case, your eyes follow the smile that immediately opens on your face, this time it is not Jimin your knight.
You open the door wide and a wonderful floral smell invades you, the beautiful bouquet of flowers blocks your view and does not allow you to properly look at the boy who in a short time has become important in your life, you can make out white carnations and red and purple tulips on a bed of primroses, you take the colorful bouquet in your arms and inhale its scent, finally catching sight of Jungkook's angelic face.
âHello, baby,â he murmurs as he looks at you spellbound, you have to fight against the fire that threatens to pervade your face, and to do so you hide almost completely behind the flowers that in moments cover you entirely.
âHello to you, Mr. Jeon,â you drink in every detail of his appearance, from the growing hair let loose on his forehead to the jeans that bandage his well-shaped and toned legs, not to mention his chest that barely manages to be contained by the buttons on his navy blue shirt or the thin gold necklace that highlights his perfect neck.
âBefore I got here I wanted to take you to dinner, now I'm of the opinion that it would be much better to stay home,â you try to suppress a laugh at the sight of his eyes trying, in vain, not to scan you like an infrared camera.
âAm I not suitable for a date with Jeon Jungkook?â
He shakes his head sorrowfully, âYou are so beautiful that I will have to restrain myself from jumping at the throat of anyone who dares to look at you and desire you.â
Those words astonish you in no small way, it's the first time you've heard him say something like that, and in fact he winces.
âI really wouldn't do that, of course! It's against the law to kill, j-just kidding,â he clarifies nervously, blinking slowly.
He said 'It's against the law to kill,' instead of the usual and more typical 'I wouldn't hurt even a fly.'
This is meant to imply that in case of need he would be no trouble, and this strangely doesn't scare you, far from it, it makes you feel protected. He is a vampire, not a human being, and you appreciate every trait of him, from the most human to the most animalistic, even though Jungkook has never shown any of these.
You've never even seen him drink a single drop of blood and he doesn't seem willing to touch the subject, Jimin on the contrary has been happy to explain to you how the issue of nourishment works for vampires, perhaps Jungkook still doesn't feel comfortable with you.
âJungkook, it is not and will never be a problem for me to hear you say such things, I have said worse in the past,â and it is all true, many times you have hoped that an axe would fall on the head of the usual boy who flirted with you in high school, or that the stupid, lackluster girl in the books would for once twist her ankle on those stilts she dared to call âshoes,â whenever she came to school to threaten you with making her copy your tests.
âOh, I should think so,â he takes a step toward you, stroking the tip of your nose with a finger in an affectionate gesture, âYou sure have the face of someone who will never let anyone step on her toes,â he nods amused, and you give him credit, because that's just the way it is.
You ask him to wait for you there, looking for a vase to put the expensive-looking flowers in, and when you come back you encircle his neck closing your eyes, sticking out your lips in what is a mute request, the kiss is not long in coming and you again enjoy the typical coldness of his soft lips, but this does not detract from the emotional warmth you feel, he is a careful and thoughtful kisser, one of those you can hardly forget.
When he pulls away his eyes are still half-closed and adoring, this makes you quiver internally.
âCan we go now?â
You nod without letting him tell you twice, and arm in arm with him you walk to his car parked a few meters away from your house, during the short walk you notice that your body is warmed only by his clothes, not his skin, how different can he be from you? Curiosity eats at you like a woodworm, you would love to ask him more about his species, but any time seems unsuitable for such a topic.
He gently opens the door for you, waiting for you to get in, and then goes around to the driver's side, in the car you can still detect a whiff of the floral scent that greeted you earlier in the house.
âWhat's with the flowers?â you ask, he gives you a puzzled look before starting the engine.
âDon't you like them?â he asks in turn, but you quickly deny it.
âActually a lot, but it's been a while since I've received any, nowadays such gestures are considered too common and people don't do them anymore,â you sigh, maybe you're too old-fashioned, but you've been pleasantly impressed by them.
âIt's people who give them a trivial meaning, flowers don't deserve to be called âcommon stuffâ!â he exclaims seriously indignant, you burst out laughing and his gaze becomes confused, âWhy are you laughing? I'm serious!â
âSorry, sorry! It's just... I don't know, maybe you were born in an era where no one would ever question certain romantic gestures and now you're nervous, you're so cuteâ you keep laughing with your hands in your face, trying to hold back, but after a few moments he too joins in.
âYou're making me feel so old, I like flowers regardless of where and when I was born,â he clarifies proudly, leaving again when the traffic light kicks off, the city lights are so bright it looks like daytime, the little stores are still open, but few people are seen around at that hour.
âIf only you would tell me exactly how old you are...â you throw in briefly, Jungkook shoots you a piercing glance from the mirror, you shrug your shoulders.
âHey, you're smart ... but a hundred days haven't gone by yet.â
âAntipathetic...â you mutter in a low voice, sticking out your lower lip, he laughs at you, shaking his head.
After that he stops the car not far from a restaurant, it looks very nice and elegant, not obnoxiously glitzy, but intimate. Just the place for a date.
Out of the car he takes your hand, leading you past the small road and then toward the entrance, your footsteps ticking along with his quieter, more regular ones, he seems a little excited and how can you blame him? You're so flustered you think you won't eat anything, then again, it's Jungkook and you can safely be yourself.
A waiter comes up to you smiling, your attention immediately falls on the two front teeth that are sharper than the others, you study the environment, noticing how the colors are as warm as they are dark. Also, people whisper to each other, not letting you know what they were saying to human ears.
âTwo days ago I made a reservation for two,â Jungkook is saying to the boy, who nods, asking him under what name he registered the reservation, although he seems to know Jungkook, perhaps he is a regular client. Past that part you are escorted to your table, which overlooks the restaurant's inner garden.
Jungkook pays no attention to the people who take to observing both of you after you pass their tables; you do. Their attention seems to be all on you, and you wish you had read the name of the restaurant so you could do your dutiful research, because it seems anything but a place habitually frequented by humans.
Not that there's any problem for you, but you don't want to be disruptive to the vampires present, you humans have a particular kind of smell that only they smell, which they might like as much as exactly the opposite.
Jungkook gently pulls your chair aside and you thank him with a nod; small candles have been scattered throughout the room, making the atmosphere more intimate.
âDo you like it?â he asks, pointing to the place.
âIt's very nice, do you come here often?â investigation mode activated.
âIt's my friend's restaurant, Taehyung, I've been a regular client since it opened, about...â he suddenly freezes, raising an eyebrow, âI know what you want to do, I'm not going to tell you when it opened,â he mutters, picking up his menu.
You snort through your nose; if he had told you how many years the restaurant has been open, you might have guessed roughly his age.
His dark eyes scan all the dishes on the menu very slowly, you're sure he knows that menu by heart, he's just wasting his time not to confront you, shaking his head you also take your menu and just follow his same actions.
There are many meat dishes, and it says in a note that they give the option to choose the type of cooking the client likes, clearly a vampire would have chosen a juicy, rare cut of meat, but you are not a vampire, so you choose a Korean dish that involves well-cooked meat.
âHow was work?â you ask, bringing his attention back to you.
âReal hell, I told you Jin is busy with the wedding, right? That made Yoongi go ballistic,â he says contritely.
âWhy? Wedding preparations are important!â
Jungkook looks around for a moment, then leans toward you with one hand covering his mouth, âJin's brain has been more watered down lately than usual, he takes orders from his girlfriend and doesn't complain about it, the wedding was meant for next year, but that viper insisted it happen earlier and that messed up our schedule, we have more work than before, and Yoongi, our section chief, has been having nervous breakdowns several times.â
You bring a hand to your mouth trying not to laugh; it's the first time you've heard someone talk like that about Kim Seokjin. It must be nice to work with people with friendly faces, you think back to your situation with that fool Valentine and Yoongyu, a weight settles on your stomach.
âI wish I had friends at work, too, but instead I'm stuck with a moron who does everyone's business and even gets them into trouble.â
âWhy settle for friends when you can have a boyfriend at work?â
The waiter arrives to bring you a bottle of red wine and water, beginning to pour the scarlet liquid inside the crystal glass, staring at Jungkook with plenty of eyes.
âWhat... What do you mean?â you stammer taking a sip of wine, Jungkook looks amused.
âWhat I said, from the way you talked about it you don't sound very satisfied with your job and I could use an assistant for photocopying,â he gives you a brief wink before drinking in turn.
You watch spellbound as you watch the sensual movement of his neck following the swallowing of the dark, full-bodied liquid; perhaps because of the alcohol, or perhaps just from the presence of the man, your body tingles uncomfortably.
You settle back in your chair, pulling the skirt of your dress lower, trying to cover both of your heated thighs. You certainly won't need the stole that night.
âDon't be silly, in that case I'd be your boss, not the assistant who prepares the photocopies,â you taunt him a little, he taps a finger on the table, his expression not changing, he's still wearing that slapping face.
âOh, but photocopying would be a valid excuse to do much more, the use of a small key is the trickâ what is he getting at?
You haven't even gotten beyond kissing and already he's talking about what you might be up to in the office. In front of a lot of vampires who can hear you talking then, has he gone mad?
âWhat are you getting at, Mr. Jeon?â
The waiter arrives to bring your dishes, Jungkook has chosen a rare steak, of course, but that doesn't make him look away from you.
Jungkook waits for the young man to leave before responding.
âEverywhere. I want to get everywhere, with you,â then quietly takes knife and fork waving you to start eating, you have to impose mental barriers on yourself not to think of dirty things that might turn you on more than before. Jungkook's words were crystal clear, as was the meaning behind them.
âHave you read Fifty Shades of Grey lately? You look like its protagonist,â you casually ask, before you take a bite, the flesh though well-cooked melts like butter and you almost groan with pleasure.
You don't know this friend of his, but boy, would you thank him for opening that restaurant, everything is really good.
Jungkook meanwhile wrinkles his nose, âPlease, I'm so much better than that Christian Grey!â
You mock him, âYou think so, and yet, you look like something out of that book.â
One of his eyebrows snaps upward, âHow can I prove otherwise?â
You pretend you didn't hear him, so you change the subject.
âThis date is also a chance to get to know each other more, right? So I can ask you everything,â he snorts through his nose, bringing his back to better observe you.
âOkay, okay... everything except age,â he points out, but that wouldn't be a problem for you.
Did he play with the dirty jokes? Well, you have a repertoire of such questions.
âFirst kiss?â you throw there without flinching, unlike Jungkook who tightens his lips trying not to laugh exasperatedly, âExplaining situation, person and environmentâ you join your hands under your chin, with a completely innocent smile.
âYou are... You are absurd! You want to find out my age any way you can!â
You bite your lower lip, smug.
âI only asked you when and to whom you had your first kiss, it's not that difficult... or maybe such a question embarrasses you?â
He forcefully resumes his glass, draining the last drop of wine with narrowed eyes, âI'll answer, as long as you do the same.â
âYou are such a child.â
He raises his eyebrows and you roll your eyes, nodding.
âI was still living with my parents, but I was old enough to experience certain ... urges, throw in a broom cupboard and a girl a little older than me and the dish is served,â you raise an eyebrow.
âYou kissed her just like that, without knowing her?â you ask in amazement, Jungkook hadn't seemed like such an easy guy.
He shrugs, âShe was nice, plus she was visiting with her father, she needed someone to show her around the house while our parents were talking in the office... I offered and we liked each other, that's all,â you narrow your eyes.
You immediately banish any form of jealousy from your mind, after all, you too had other experiences before you met him, you must be a mature person.
âExact age?â he ignores your question, asking another question.
âYou?â
You?
You sigh a little.
Well, what about you... you certainly weren't as precocious as he was. You're embarrassed to admit it, but you came rather late to enjoy certain intimate aspects of a relationship.
âNineteen years old, first boyfriend, the place was his house, more specifically the couch, his parents weren't home and we decided to experiment a little,â something in your words makes him laugh incredulously.
âDid you have to specify?â you sense annoyance in his tone and this makes you mentally lick your whiskers like a cat satisfied with dinner. âYou specified that it was the broom cupboard!â
âAnd you that it was your boyfriend!â
He's not really angry, just annoyed, and you're loving this
âShall we go ahead, first time?â
âOh, dear...â he pinches his nose with two fingers as his broad chest vibrates under his giggles, âIt's our date, do you really want to hear me talk about former sex partners? Be serious, you just want to make me pay for it,â he says with conviction.
âReally... and what would be the reason?â
You move again, crossing your legs conspicuously, let the fabric of your dress flow a little over your smooth skin, and pretend to adjust it, making sure he notices.
In response he leans toward you again, completely amused by your actions, âYou're tired of kisses and little caresses, you'd like our acquaintance to move to a more physical plane, and you're irritated by all this slowness.â
âAnd if that were really the case, what would you do then?â you blow provocatively.
He remains silent for a few moments before giving a polite nod to the waiter who was about to bring another bottle. You watch confused at his actions.
He murmurs something in his ear, and the young man nods, taking the wine with him. âWhat did you say to him?â
He puts on a completely innocent expression, âI just asked for the bill.â

Midnight Fangs - Poly BTS X Reader (Prologue)
Summary: The werewolves thought they found all their mates. They never imaged theyâd met another, let alone that sheâd be a vampire.
Warning: Blood, Alcohol, Sex, Breeding, Mate Au Supernatural AU, Poly Au, Unrequited Love, Rejection, Hurt/Comfort, Other⌠(Specific Warnings not mentioned will be made in each chapter.)
[Series Masterlist] [Your Here] - [Next] <-
You fled from your Nest.
You fled from your Nest, from the people who turned you almost 200 years ago, from the people who taught you everything you know now about yourself. Vampires have very strong bonds, they live with their Nest forever. The people who turn them and the people who are also turned. The two only reason why a vampires nest would be small is because of Hunters. You ran away from your Nest: your home, your family, your providers. Your an idiot. A lone vampire wouldnât make it without their family.
Youâve heard phrased, phrases like âlone wolf,â and âfree spirit,â everyoneâs heard those phrases and in those phrases⌠Lone Vampire, didnât exist. Every Vampire always said that their was a reason for that.
As the moon rises in the sky, you look at it from under a tree. Glad the sun would finally be gone from irritating your skin more. You hated swearing layers and hats, you sometimes missed the sun on your skin.
Most supernatural creatures were⌠sociable, but perhaps that isnât the right word for all of them, it was more⌠kept to groups. There was a reason for that.
It meant you wouldnât survive on your own.
-
-
-
Sociable was, however, the right word for werewolves. Wolves love the night, especially full moons. Werewolves were ďżźrowdy, social, and loud. You could tell from the howls youâd hear two miles away and from the many paw prints left behind in the mud after a full moon.
They loved many things.
In that love, what they loved and put above all else: their Pack. Werewolves, they had a more⌠engraved structure to their packs. For a vampire, the oldest is the leader. For a wolf, the most qualified Alpha is.
Itâs a common⌠rumor that vampires and werewolves donât get along. Cats and dogs as people would say. Wether that rumor is true or not, is up to a case to case Basis. Cats and dogs can co-exist in certain homes, when conditions are met.
Why was he even thinking of vampires? There would be no reason to think more of this subject. Cats and dogs, they would have no effect on his life with his pack. Jin sighs and shakes his head as he looks at his pack, his mates, trying to get rid of the thoughts.
Why would he even want to co-exist with a vampire? Most of them were too⌠cold, it was like they were searching for weaknesses to exploit. Always turning their noses in disgust, âYou smell- horrible- too strong- like dog.â Theyâd say, while they smell like nothing but blood and death.
âHey, Jin you okay?â Hoseok asks leaning his head against the omegas shoulder. The beta leaned onto the omegas scent gland, trying to soothe the Omega. He could smell a bit of his confusion and disappointment, even if it was the slightest, most ďżźminuscule change.
âYeah, just thinking.â
âJoon and Jumin are in the garden.â The beta causally mentioned. As the two of them looked out at them in the over grown, neglect garden. Jimin trips over a bed of something the pack doesnât care to identify. Junjook stumbled after him and trips into the plants.
âI think the garden has seen better days anyway.â Yoongi shrugged scratching his messy hair as he walked in to the kitchen. A empty cup of coffee in hand, the alpha sighed as he glanced out the window at what was suppose to be a garden.
It was a large fences off area near the back of the cabin. The pack had picked the cabin up once upon a time, it was run down and old but now it was new again, everything was working the way it was suppose to and now it was⌠perfect. It felt like every room was brimming with love. The garden however, no one ever got around too. The forgotten space in the back of the house. During a full moon a while back Junkook had dug the remaining dead plants up leaving behind a pile of dirt. The pile of dirt was left, the causal âIâll get around to itâ was thrown here and there. Sure, but they all knew no one would end up taking responsibility for the garden.
If they wanted to be in touch with nature theyâd go on a walk in the woods. Itâs in their nature, Not planting. Digging? Maybe, yeah sure. But if they wanted berries theyâd go find them in the forest. It was a waste growing them when they can just go to the store anyway?
At least. Those were the justifications. Truthfully, they didnât know why they left it untouched for so long. It was a nagging ache in their chest⌠as if something wasnât right and it just⌠needed to be left alone.
______
Note: Hey, so⌠I made this because, Bts fanfiction is really easy to find and Iâve been reading it because- hey, I want to read a specific type of fic? Bts fandom has 20 of them at least! So I thought, Iâd give backâŚ? I mean the authors are all sooo good, I just hope to live up to them. But⌠I donât really know a lot about the boys? Iâve watched interviews and tried my best! But if somethingâs off, tell me pls!
Enjoy the series! Any questions, thoughts or concerns pls donât hesitate! And uh⌠bye!

THE INVITE
My works are 14+ ONLY. If youâre under 14 DO NOT interact with me or any of my works. Ageless blogs and blank blogs risk getting blocked
Pairing: Vampire!Jin x human!fem reader
Word count: 2,105
Note: This imagine is from my Wattpad so there wonât be any extra parts or continuations
A letter sat idly on your coffee table untouched as you stared it down, debating on wether to open it or not. You knew exactly who it was from. A brief glance at the fancy designs embellishing the envelope was enough to tell you exactly who the sender was.
Kim Seokjin.
You lived in a society where vampire and humans coexisted, living together in peace (for the most part). Seokjin was one of the most well-known vampires in town. Everyone knew who he was or at the very least had heard his name.
You were almost afraid to see what was inside the envelope, but at the same time, your curiosity was gnawing at you. You had never received a letter from Seokjin before. Sure, there had been times where you saw him out and about, sometimes you would say hello or give him a small nod. The most interaction you'd ever him was the occasional friendly exchange and a brief conversation if you were lucky.
Though you would have liked to have an actual conversation with him besides small talk, the circumstances were never ideal and also he was really intimidating. Not intimidating in a scary way, but in a way that he was so good-looking, and maybe that was a vampire thing, but his visuals were otherworldly and often made it difficult for you to carry on a proper conversation.
Before you could chicken out, you reached out and snatched the letter from the table, examining it. The envelope was sealed with a red, wax emblem meaning whatever was inside must've been extremely important. Ever so slowly, you broke the seal and pulled out a neatly-folded piece of card stock. Upon unfolding the paper, you found a letter written in the most stunning penmanship.
Miss Y/n,
I would like to cordially invite you to a prestigious ball at my house tonight at 10:00 PM. Dress code is formal and it is preferred that you wear dark colors. I hope to see you there.
- Kim Seokjin
You clamped your hand over your mouth to stop yourself from gasping. This wasn't a letter, it was an invitationâa handwritten one at that. The invite was daunting, especially considering it was sent to you of all people. The idea of being invited to Seokjin's lofty home for a prestigious party had your insides riddled with jitters. The two of you had only spoken a handful of times which had you wondering why he had invited you.
"I don't even have a dress." You murmured as you folded the letter up and tucked it back into the envelope.
With nothing to wear to the event that was to take place in just a few hours, you headed out to the nearest formalwear shop to find the perfect gown. After roughly forty-five minutes of browsing the array of garments, you settled on a form-fitting carmine dress with a silk cape attached to the back. The style of gown was fitting for an event hosted by a vampire and it fit the dark color scheme specified in the invite.
You returned home shortly after making your purchase, hanging the dress on the back of your bedroom door before heading to the shower to begin preparations for the evening.
10:00 PM rolled around much quicker than you expected, assumably because you were so focused on getting ready that you hardly glanced at the clock.
Now here you were stood before the mirror in your room, smoothing out the red dress that flattered your figure well. The heels you had on were a pair buried in your closet, which you hadn't worn in a couple years. You were happy that they were finally getting some use.
Adorning your neck was a luxurious diamond necklace and a set of matching earrings that were a gift you purchased for yourself one year for Christmas. Your hair was styled perfectly and your choice of makeup was something that matched well with the dress.
Grabbing your small purse, you stepped outside and prepared to head to your car when you spotted a sleek, black vehicle parked outside. Just as you were ready to turn around and run back inside, the window rolled down revealing a man you didn't recognize sitting in the driver's seat.
"Miss Y/n?" He asked.
"Yes. That's me." You responded hesitantly.
"Seokjin requested that I pick you up."
"He did?"
"Yes ma'am. He wanted to make sure you got to the party safely."
"Oh. Okay."
The driver stepped out and opened the door to the vehicle, making sure you got inside safely before closing it.
Seokjin hired a driver to bring you to the party?
Nerves stirred within you, twisting your insides like a pretzel and making your hands clammy. Not even the homes and buildings passing by could distract you. And how could you relax while sitting in the back of a nice, expensive car heading towards a very prestigious party? Deep down, you knew you didn't belong at such an event, but Seokjin invited you. As much as you were dreading it, there was no way you would've been able to miss the party.
"We're here." The driver announced, bringing your focus back to the present.
Just outside the window was a lofty two story house all lit up on the inside, letting you know the gathering was already in full swing.
The vehicle came to a rolling stop in front of Seokjin's home and the driver got out to open the door for you. You murmured a small thank you as you stepped out of the car and began to make your way up the stone pathway to the front door.
Someone standing at the entrance opened the door for you to which you acknowledged him with a small nod and entered the house.
Discomfort washed over you the instant you stepped into the room, taking notice of the many pairs of eyes that were glued to you. Right away you could tell that you were more than likely the only human there, feeling like you were surrounded by hungry sharks. It's not that you were scared of vampires, you were just intimidated by so many of them being around you at once.
Keeping your head down, you made your way through the crowd in hopes to find a secluded corner to stand in for the duration of the event.
Regret gnawed at you and suddenly you wished you never decided to show up in the first place.
This was a terrible idea.
You turned to go back where you came, but the crowd was so packed you didn't even want to try and make your way back through.
Much to your relief, you spotted a door that led to a private balcony; the perfect place to get some fresh air. You hastened through the crowd and squeezed past some people as discreetly as you could, trying to get to the door.
On the way to make your hasty escape, you bumped right into someone's chest, nearly knocking you off your feet.
"Woah. Are you okay?"
Lifting your gaze, you found that you had bumped into none other than Seokjin.
"Oh! I'm so sorry. I didn't realize you were there." You apologized.
"I asked if you were okay." He chuckled, ignoring your response.
"Yeah. I'm fine. Sorry for bumping into you."
"It's okay. This place is packed anyway. There's not much room to move about." He smiled softly. "Where are you running off to? You just got here."
"If I'm being honest, I'm a bit uncomfortable."
"Don't tell me it's because you're surrounded by vampires."
"Well..." You trailed off.
"You're safe, especially if you're with me."
Even though you didn't exactly feel safe, you nodded.
"Seems you wanted to go outside. We can go together if you'd like." He offered.
"I'd like that."
Some alone time with Seokjin would give you the chance to have an actual conversation with him.
He slid his hand into yours and guided you through the crowd, pulling you outside to the small balcony overlooking his well-maintained front lawn.
"You look exquisite tonight, Y/n. This dress is gorgeous."
Biting back a coy grin, you smoothed out the carmine fabric of your gown. "Thank you."
"I'm really glad you showed up."
"You are?"
"Of course. You sound surprised."
"I am. Truthfully, I was shocked to receive an invite in the first place. I don't belong here amongst all these vampires. I'm just some human. There's nothing special or extraordinary about me."
"There is." He stepped closer.
"How do you know? We've only met a handful of times."
Seokjin averted your gaze like he was nervous to answer.
"I've been... watching you."
"You what?"
"I'm sorry." He shook his head. "That came out wrong. I haven't been watching you per se. When I see you out, I can't help but stare. I find myself entranced and my eyes follow you until you're out of sight. It's creepy, I know, but you're just so breathtaking I can't seem to tear my eyes away."
Entranced. Breathtaking.
These words replayed in your head, making your heart race and you were sure he could hear it.
"Seokjinâ"
"Jin." He corrected. "Call me Jin."
"Jin. Did you really mean that?"
"Every word." His hand lifted to brush your hair out of your face, quietly admiring the way the moonlight highlighted your features.
As if being pulled by an invisible force, he started to lean in closer. All the while, you stood completely still, anticipating the feeling of his soft-looking lips pressing to yours. Though you were reeling from his confession, you were still able to prepare for what was about to happen.
Jin's pink lips were mere centimeters from yours when he inhaled deeply, pulling back just enough for you to take notice.
"What's wrong?" You questioned.
He shook his head, not wanting to tell you.
"You can tell me." You gently urged.
"You smell really good."
Your brows raised.
"Sorry. I shouldn't have said that."
"No, no. I understand. If you want toâ"
"No. I can't. I don't usually drink human blood. I try to stay away from it."
"Jin, I don't mind. Really."
He met your gaze, searching your features for any signs of uncertainty. "Are you sure?"
A single nod from you confirmed.
He leaned in and kissed your lips sweetly, a single and light gesture to test the waters. Though you were caught off guard by the sudden affectionate display, you weren't opposed to it in the slightest. In fact, you wished he would place his lips upon yours one more time.
When Jin noticed the way you leaned into him, he pressed his lips to yours once more, this time for a little longer. A faint smooch sound could be heard as he parted ways, his lips ghosting along your jawline before slowly trailing down to your neck. He placed a soft kiss to the area he decided to feed from which made you suppress a shiver.
His arms slid around your waist and coaxed you closer to him, keeping you securely in his hold. The sharp sting of his fangs sinking into your skin followed a few brief seconds later. You released an involuntary gasp and clutched onto the collar of Jin's suit jacket.
In an attempt to comfort you, he began to rub your back in a slow and soothing manner, the gesture helping to relax you a bit. Needing something to focus on, your eyes shifted to the city in the distance, marveling at the pretty lights dotting the nighttime scenery.
Just as the pain started to ebb away, Jin withdrew his fangs and pulled back.
"Are you okay?" It was the first question he uttered, his red eyes slowly fading back to their natural brown.
You nodded.
"Hang on a second. Stay still."
He leaned in again and you felt him lick a stripe up your neck, causing you to shiver at the sensation.
"What did you do?"
"I healed your neck so it won't get sore and you won't have to worry about covering an ugly bite mark."
"Oh. Thank you."
"No. Thank you. You didn't have to do that, but it was a nice treat." He winked, setting your cheeks aflame.
Jin chuckled when you turned away to hide your flustered expression.
"After tonight, I'd like to see you again. I want to take you out somewhere nice where we can really get to know each other. If that's alright with you, of course."
"I would love that."
