BLACKROSE PACK

AUTHOR'S POV

Walking through the corridors of the palace with a basket of flowers in her hands, Hwasa was cheerfully going towards Luna's room. While playing with a Rose flower she had in her hands, humming a beautiful melody.

She stumbled as her leg got stuck in her gown making the rose fell down so she bent down to pick it up and suddenly heard a scream making her flinch.

Quickly picking up the flower she clenched it tightly near her heart, a sudden fear rose inside her hearing such a painful scream. Her legs felt numb as her eyes traveled here and there trying to find the direction of the scream, her heart skipped beats realising she was near the dungeon.

Her mind and heart battling as she wanted to check but it felt too risky. She thought of calling any guard but no one came in her sight. Curiosity raking over her, she decided to take a look as she started approaching the direction with slow steps.

Walking nearer she saw some stairs going downwards. Nodding in no to herself for not taking any risk and was about to turn back when she heard the scream once again.

This time it was more louder and more agonizing that she felt a surge of electrons sending to every nerve in her body.

A sickly feeling came over her as a chill went down her spine and she clenched the rose even more tighter before taking a deep breath and going down the stairs.

With every step downstairs, she felt like her energy was draining slowly, scared stiff but still curious about the wailings so she kept walking down. The place was so red like the walls were painted with blood, terrifying enough.

An old small chandelier was hanging down emitting light which was making the walls glow with that red color There were some blank spaces carved in the walls and she kept looking in right and left of her making sure nothing is following her.

Finally, she walked down all the stairs and ended up in another scary corridor type place. It was dark red and murky. There was water on the floor and she was not even sure that it was water or something else because it was dark and the reflection of pillars and the ceiling was so clear in it.

There was some weird foul smell that made her scrunch her nose. Covering her mouth as she carefully placed her foot in the water. The floor is uneven and is hard to move but the water isn't deep and barely covers the soles of her foot. It was some different sticky liquid, not water for sure.

"What the hell is this place? I never thought dungeons were like this?" Hwasa said to herself, her voice muffled behind her hand covering her mouth as she heard another scream and she followed the voice.

It lead her to a wide chamber. Unlike the previous narrow corridor, it was more spacious but dreary red-bricked There were small dark segments that seemed to be doorways on either side of the chamber.

Passing by from every door which was closed her steps came into a halt in front of a particular one that was opened. She twitched her eyebrow in confusion before entering into that way and entered the area which contained numerous cells protected with iron bars.

The smell was getting stronger as she was approaching further following the wailings.

"What the hell have I gotten myself into?" Mumbling some words to herself she lumbered further and to her surprise , the cells were empty and locked.

She was lumbering while being so close to the bars, almost touching them when a loud scream echoed through the chamber from the cell beside her. She stumbled away from the cell in terror running through her body.

The scream was so intense that it raddled the entire chamber like a chaotic pinball machine relaying more than one ball.

The gate of that cell was slightly opened and the smell was so damn strong, it was of blood. And to make sure of it, she saw blood slowly spilling out of the cell on the floor.

Every muscle in her face tightened, her body was trembling, blood ran cold, her heart was hammering like it was going to burst out of her chest. She was panic-stricken nothing was coming in her mind. It was as if someone drained all of her energy in once. She felt weak, so weak just like a withered flower.

And that's when her eyes fell on the rose in her hands which was completely withered, turned into black as she threw it away from her hands.

Suddenly a loud chuckle was heard which made her stop instantly with her actions as she looked at the cell and her eyes widened at the view.

She saw a man who had blood dripping from his mouth clenching the neck of another man's neck and having an evil smirk plastered on his face which horrified her to death. She tried to speak something but her voice seemed to die at the back of her throat. Tears escaped from the corner of her eyes as there was nothing helping.

And suddenly the man dropped the dead pale figure on the floor from whom he drank enough. It made a thud sound to which Hwasa flinched in terror. He was about to turn her face towards her when she shut her eyes tight clenching her neck with her own hands and screamed her lungs out.

"NOOOOOOOO!!!"

HWASA'S POV

My eyes shot open and I jumped straight on my bed with a loud scream while clenching my neck huffing heavily. I was drenched in sweat and my breathing was unstable, cold drops of sweat were rolling down my neck and forehead.

A hand grabbed my shoulder making me flinch, I was about to scream again when I heard," What happened??"

"W-Wa-Water..." I answered between my unstable breaths as he nodded vigorously before pouring down some water in a glass and handing it to me.

I gulped down the water slowly as he gently caressed my back in order to calm me down. I gave him the empty glass as he placed it back in its place and turned back towards me, holding my hands in his squeezing them lovingly.

"Tell me, You had a nightmare? Or a vision? What did you see that you're so horrified? Hm?" Namjoon looked in my eyes with his curious yet anxious gaze but I didn't want him to worry too much so I let it slide.

And after all, even I don't know that was a nightmare or my vision, was it an indication?

"Nothing, just a nightmare..." I lied.

"You sure? Do you want something that can make you feel better?" He asked, still looking worried and I nodded.

"What is it? I'll go get it."

"You!" I said playfully teasing him.

"Oh okay me, Let me go and--" Namjoon turned to walk off from bed but looked at me again with his big shocked eyes," What--"

I started giggling at his shocked face which made him laugh as well," Don't worry, I didn't mean anything like that."

"Ah okay let's sleep now."

I nodded as he laid down extending his arm and eyeing me to sleep on it. I smiled before placing my head on his arm as he covered us with the blanket.

He held me close while stroking my hair softly with another hand. I just pretended that I was fine because I didn't want him to worry much about me. He also has his work and I didn't want to be a distraction. But the truth is that the scene is not leaving my mind.

Thinking about it as a dream is better, but what if it was a vision of reality? It's something which I can't control. It's been a while since I had any vision and now this was terrifying.

That bloody mouth dripping with red glowing human blood came in front of my eyes horrifying me again. I snuggled more into Namjoon's chest holding him close to me inhaling his scent and making myself relax before I drifted off to sleep.

NAMJOON'S POV

I held her close so she can inhale my scent and feel a bit relaxed and sleep back peacefully while I stroked her hair softly with my other hand

For sure she's hiding something from me. But she was ok till today. I know she's not going to tell me because she doesn't want me to get worried. Well, I won't even force her if she doesn't want to.

But I'm still curious about what she saw that he was this scared stiff. It never happened before. She looked so frangible. And it is making me worried more about my one and only mate. I just hope nothing bad happens to her.

I saw she was asleep already. I kissed her temple before hugging her close to me, drifting to my dreamland too.

AUTHOR'S POV

Delicious, appetizing food was laced by the servants on the big dining table covered with the mushy red table cloth, under a big chandelier decorated with candles over it. Three candle stands settled on the table burning and filling the room with the sweet, soothing, and calm aroma of lavender.

Everyone gathered one by one for the breakfast, Alpha and Luna were the to sit followed by Jungkook and others before giving them a respectful bow.

As everyone seated properly, the maids came forward serving them the food and filling their glasses with the juice. Once they were done, they backed off and everyone dug in the food.

the sound of fork and spoon colliding with the plate, sipping of the juice, and munching of food filled the room as everyone was enjoying the luscious food.

Suddenly Alpha said breaking the silence catching everyone's attention as they stopped eating and looked at him, "Where's Yeonjun?"

"Huh?" Jungkook said in confusion when Alpha Jeon pointed at the empty seat beside Queen Martha and he nodded in understanding.

"Why didn't he come for the breakfast, Martha?" Alpha asked Martha this time.

"Uh...um...He-He is not feeling well lately so he said he wants to rest for a while. And I'll be taking his breakfast to his room Alpha, you don't need to worry too much." Martha answered looking down at her plate poking the vegetables on her plate here and there as Alpha nodded while humming in response.

He focused back on his food, and the same goes for the others except Jungkook who was looking at his Mother Martha all the time. Lines forming between the eyebrows, head tilting to the side, confusion written all over his face. One thing bothered him.

"Mother Martha never talked while keeping her eyes down. She always keeps her head high leveling eye to eye with the person she's talking then why today? She looked kinda lost too, the way she was poking the food, right frost?" Jungkook thought in his mind and asked Frost as he answered," Right I guess? It's not a Queen Martha thing to talk while looking down."

"Yeah...that's what I'm saying, idiot!" Jungkook said in his thought to his wolf to which Frost replied with sarcasm," Well...I'm your wolf, doesn't that mean you're an idiot as well Mr. Blood Moon King?"

"Yah! Watch your mouth!" Jungkook snapped at his wolf as his grip on the soon tightened.

"That suits better on you, you'll choke on your food idiot, watch while you're eating!" They were arguing like little mad kids in their thoughts when suddenly Jungkook choked on his food for real and frost laughed inside," Told ya Mr!"

"What happened, son? Drink this!" Luna asked worriedly while pouring him a glass of water and patting his back. He gulped the water, swallowing down the stuck food and sighing deeply.

"You okay now?" Luna softly caressed the boy's hair.

"Yeah, I'm okay Mother.." Jungkook slightly smiled, cursing Frost internally as Luna heaved out in relief before getting back to her food once again, followed by Jungkook.
