Fuck..it hurts..my whole body hurts.

Jungkook grunts as he tries to sat up. He put his hand on his head while he slowly opened his eyes. As soon as his vision became clear, he shot up and looked around him. Dead bodies, chopped limbs and heads..it was all red..the deep red color of blood.

His eyes widen, finally remembering  what happened. He realized that the devil bewitched him and used him to complete the ritual since he is a necessary tool, a true blood while Bogum was killed because he marked Taehyung.

In order to be free but still be able to complete the ritual, the devil killed his controller, Bogum, and used Jungkook instead...having two true bloods with desire to devour your body was truly convenient for the devil.

"Taehyung"

But that doesn't matter anymore since Jungkook's mind was flooded with the thoughts of his mate. He picked up a cloak and rushed outside.

On his way, he saw Somi's dead body with her head detached from it and he became more anxious...

Honestly, he's not worrying about people dying, he doesn't really care, that's how cold-hearted he is, but, what he's worried about is people dying in Taehyung's hands...

Taehyung probably wouldn't believe that he had taken a lot of lives and his soul might shattered if he came to know of it and that's what Jungkook was afraid of.

But....

He was late.

When he opened the door, he saw dead and seriously injured werewolves on the ground. He can't even tell whether they're from Solar or Lunar pack. He turned his head, towards the sound of soft grunts. There, he saw Jimin and Hoseok, who were seriously injured, trying to get up by holding onto a tree. Few steps from them, he saw Namjoon doing the same. Then, his eyes landed on the figure in the middle.

There, he saw Taehyung standing in the middle of the dead bodies, bathing in blood...he was smiling like a maniac while he looked at the wolf struggling to escape his grip.

Jungkook was shocked to see how helpless Yoongi was while Taehyung effortlessly strangles him. Slowly, Yoongi turned back into his human form and Jimin tried to attacked Taehyung but was stopped by a shout.

"TAEHYUNGGG!!!"

Jungkook shouted at the top of his lungs and Taehyung flinched, loosing his grip on Yoongi's neck. Jimin took the chance and snatched his mate away, thank his thick thighs making him the fastest werewolf.

Taehyung slowly turned around and their eyes directly hit each other.

Taehyung's eyes were pitched black...it looked like a void...an endless pit..that if you look at it, it's like you're looking at the abyss itself...slowly, it feels like you're being sucked into a black hole...slowly, it will swallow you whole.

But...

No matter how empty it looks and how emotionless his face shows, Jungkook or anybody couldn't deny that Taehyung was still there...he was still there somewhere and it was clear when they saw tears flowing from the pitched black eyes.

"I'm sorry."

Taehyung softly said though his face looked no remorse.

"T-Taeh-"

"Hccckkk-WAAAAAHHHH-AAAAH!"

Jungkook was cut off when Taehyung started screaming..he was fighting..he's having a battle against the devil.

He stopped for a bit and looked at Jungkook. He targeted Jungkook knowing he's the reason why the omega was putting up a fight.

Taehyung rushed towards Jungkook and throws a punch but Jungkook immediately caught his hand. The devil did not end the attack and kicked Jungkook who was caught off guard. The alpha came flying and hit the ground harshly.

Jungkook felt some of his ribs cracked and his left arm was dislocated.

The devil staggered while holding his head, Taehyung must be giving him an annoying headache. The devil stopped and growled loudly while his both hands were on his head.

Jungkook chuckled at the sight as he tried to sat up.

"He's stubborn y'know."

He mumbled to himself as he gets back on his feet, ignoring the pain and injuries he already has.

The devil suddenly kept quiet again as black mist emits from his body. The mist slowly went towards the devil's hand and it formed into a black sword.

The devil cocked his head to the side and in a blink of an eye, he was already in front of Jungkook. The true blood jolted and fell on his back. The devil hovered above him and raised the sword which was pointed on his chest...but...the devil suddenly stopped his movements and the sword was shaking...Taehyung was trying his best...with all his strength, he cannot let the devil kill anymore, specially not Jungkook, not his mate.

"J-Jungkook."

Taehyung softly said and Jungkook gasped as he felt all the emotions of his mate coming back. He slowly pushed himself up and cupped the omega's face.

"Baby..."

Jungkook uttered while both of them had their eyes wet from the sudden flood of emotions that they could feel from each other.

Taehyung smiled sweetly at Jungkook.

"Jungkook..."

Taehyung said and Jungkook widen his eyes knowing what the omega was thinking. He suddenly felt Taehyung's hand placing the sword on his hands.

Jungkook's tears kept flowing, his lips was shaking and his hands were trembling as he felt his strength leaving his body. He was drowning in his thoughts...

What do I do? Why? I can't....no...I can't...there must be other ways right? I can't...

Please..someone...

Anyone....

Please help me...

For the first time in his life, he felt so helpless.

"Jungkook...you have to...or else.."

Taehyung said as he cupped Jungkook's face.

"N-no...Baby, I-I can't...I wouldn't do it! I couldn't do it!!"

Suddenly, Taehyung's hands went to grab Jungkook's neck but it wasn't tight...Taehyung was still fighting the devil inside him...he would never let the devil win. His eyes were still at the alpha who looked so lost...he knows it's too much to ask...it pains him too, but it needs to be done.

He looked at his mate and once again, pleaded.

"Please...Jungkook."

Jungkook felt what his mate was feeling..

Taehyung doesn't want to hurt anyone anymore...it's his last request...he wants to be free from the devil's curse...but he wanted to be caged in his lover's arms...it's his last.

Jungkook took a deep breath and closed his eyes. After a moment, he pulled Taehyung and intensely kissed him.

Then he raised the sword.....

...and pierced his heart.

Taehyung

....his mate

....his love

...his life

...his everything.

Jungkook pulled away from the kiss and tears kept flowing when he looked at the face of his mate.

He was flashing his signature rectangular smile then he leaned closer to Jungkook and put his one hand on his face.

"I'm s-sorry...y-you had t-to do this. Just o-once...l-et me be selfish."

He softly said in a breathy voice. He then pecked Jungkook's lips and looked at him in the eyes.

"I-I'm so h-happy t-that you are m-my mate."

"T-the extremely hot and h-handsome Jeon Jungkook was mine."

"I love you."

"But....I'm...sleepy...so sleepy."

"Jungkook....good night."

He smiled and slowly, his eyes closed as his whole body rested on Jungkook's while the sword turned into a black mist and vanished.

The alpha hugged his mate, staring blankly ahead while tears kept falling as he felt Taehyung's mark on him burning and slowly disappearing.

"My baby really likes sleeping...haha..but, don't sleep just yet...I-I'll tell you bed time stories."

"Hey..do you remember how we first met?

Honestly, you were really silly and clumsy...but you're really beautiful.

So beautiful.

I haven't told you,

but, I think I fell in love with you at first sight, when we met each other at the mother pack, tho we were just kids that time hahah.

I also found it amusing when you were jealous of yourself because you didn't know that the 'first love' I was talking about was actually you."

Jungkook chuckled and hugged his mate tighter.

"Hey..Baby..I hope you can hear me..because I haven't apologized yet....I-I'm sorry...I'm so sorry."

Jungkook couldn't contain it anymore and he burst into tears.

"Yah...you're so unfair! Y-you always tell me not to leave you. You were so afraid to be alone...because it hurts..but now...you're the one who left...you left me...alone, Tae."

"My adorable, beautiful Taehyung...Baby...I love you...I love you so much...tell me..."

"Tell me how to live without you?"

I am crying while writing this.
