Seokjin's eyelids clasped as he flashed cold water all over his face.

Looking at himself on the mirror,the omega frowned and closed his eyes that were red because of the lack of sleep.

It had been a week.

A week of the disaster of Southern Kingdom's government.

A week of Duke Kim Taehyung's betrayal.

A week of his shattered trust.

But he was still with Taehyung.Because he was helpless. He couldn't control himself, his heart,his omega.

Seokjin couldn't understand if he should curse himself or feel pity
on himself.

His eyes opened slowly;only to be met with a pair of sharp,chocolate brown orbs.

Beside the bathroom's door,there was the devil himself;leaning against the wall and staring at the older through the mirror with a soft look in his gaze.

Seokjin stared back but didn't utter a single word.Taehyung slowly walked up to the omega,gradually decreasing the distance between themselves.

He embraced his Prince from behind while still staring at the older's eyes through the mirror.

The Omega's eyes became hooded as Taehyung's tingling hot breath and his teeth grazed upon his earlobe in a sloth motion.

"Stop this stubbornness, Seokjinah..... Look at yourself; you can't even sleep properly....!",Taehyung murmured against Seokjin's reddened left ear.

-"Let me be with you..... Let me hold you.... You need me for your comfort, my love..... You need some rest, please....",he continued while nibbling his elder's ear.

Seokjin let out a soft and adorable purr at the sensation.

What Taehyung said was true. The vampire had given Seokjin enough time and space because he knew that the older needed to spend some time with himself to cope with the situation.

He had let the omega live alone in his own bedchamber. He visited him a lot of times in a day though. But he never forced himself on the older.

Seokjin,on the other hand was trying his best to resist the younger. But as Taehyung said,the omega was not even able to have a proper sleep without indulging himself in the blonde's arms.

Taehyung lowered his attention upon the shell under Seokjin's ear and sucked at the tender skin;making his Prince moan in his melodic voice.

The omega squirmed inside Taehyung's embrace but his breath immediately hitched when the vampire's mouth trailed down his neck and stopped at a certain spot.

He flinched and a nearly frightened noise escaped from his throat.

Taehyung stopped in an instant. He turned around Seokjin and looked at the expressionless older with a sad smile on his face.

"You're afraid of me,aren't you?",he muttered.

Pain washed over his expression as his mate stayed silent while looking at everything but him.

"You still don't believe me.... I've let you meet them;you've seen that they're safe,I've never disrespected or harmed any of them and you still can not trust me?!",he asked tiredly.

-"I do everything that you want me to.You asked for privacy and I gave you that,you wanted to meet your family and I had let you without even thinking about it for a moment;I even let you see her ! What else do you want me to do?!"

"Give our Kingdom back to us......",Seokjin answered in matter of a second.

Taehyung gritted his teeth.

-"You know I'd never do that.I'd never give her freedom. She doesn't deserve it-"

"And you don't deserve to be trusted,Kim Taehyung! You're our enemy,our Kingdom's traitor and you better engrave this on your mind that I'd never ever trust you again....",Seokjin retorted.

-"Your Highness...?"

A soft female voice came from outside the door of Seokjin's bedchamber.

-"General Byun has sent a messenger from our kingdom.Everyone is expecting you at the hall,your Highness."

Seokjin knew who it was.Chou Tzuyu;the youngest among all of the northern warriors who were helping Taehyung to govern the Southern Kingdom.

His irises became blueish in possessiveness when Taehyung replied to the girl.

-"I'll be there in a moment."

Seokjin's omega growled in protest and he unconsciously grasped the front of Taehyung's shirt.

He had noticed that whenever Taehyung comes to visit him,Tzuyu always finds some kind of excuse to interfere them.Maybe he was overthinking or maybe it was just his wolf side being possessive over the younger.

He whimpered when the blonde freed his own shirt from the older's grasp.Seokjin's lower lip trembled slightly,making it impossible for Taehyung to restrain himself.

He leaned in and captured those pouting,quivering lips of his prince.Seokjin suppressed a quiet sob and encircled his arms around the blonde's neck;trying to savor every bit of his lips.

-----------------------

-"We need to talk"

Seokjin huffed in annoyance and sneered at the owner of the female voice.

-"There's nothing to talk about between us,Jennie... Your brother has tried enough to convince me.I don't want to hear your lies too."

"Its not what you're thinking, alright? Its about Tae....",Jennie muttered.

Seokjin frowned and finally turned around to face the younger.

-"He needs a submissive.... As soon as possible."

"What do you mean?",Seokjin inquired.

The alpha sighed.

"I've been using my powers to suppress his craving for blood throughout all these years. But, I think... the power of my spells on him is weakening. I noticed it since he had tasted those alphas' blood.", she explained.

"He did what ?!",Seokjin's eyes widened as his mind registered the younger's words.

-"Those two alphas who tried to...... molest you at the fair. He abducted them and sucked their blood till they died. I guess, his cravings for blood had increased after that very day."

Seokjin gulped.So,Taehyung had killed his molesters to take his revenge!His heartbeat quickened.

"W-why.... Why are you telling this to me?", he asked, his mind still in daze.

"Because its only you who can quench his craving. Only you can become his submissive. He needs one really soon, otherwise, I'm afraid that the beast in him would come out and that wouldn't be good for any of us....", Jennie answered while brushing the bangs off her forehead.

Seokjin glared at her.

"Do you really think I'd listen to whatever you'd tell me?! I'm not like Soo, Jennie! She might trust on your lies blindly even after what both of you siblings had done to us, but don't you expect that from me. Jisoo is innocent; she believes you and she is a fool to do so. But, I'm not going to step on your trap again. I'm never  going to submit to him!", he chuckled dryly.

"You just can't let him suffer like that! Its your responsibility as a mate, Seokjin-Oraboni!", Jennie gritted her teeth.

"He is not my mate. I haven't let him mark me, got it? Now you may leave. This chamber is mine and I guess you should ask for my permission before entering the room.", The omega turned his back towards the younger.

"You will regret it...", Jennie stated sternly.

"Oh I will never!", Seokjin retorted.

"Of course you will, Elder Prince! If you keep denying him, he'll soon give in to his necessities and find another submissive or a vampire mate. And as much as I can see, it will definitely bother you.", the alpha shook her head and left the room.

Seokjin didn't even spare her a glance. He sat down at the edge of his bed and clenched his jaws.

Someone else as his Taehyung's mate?! Someone else would be in the younger's arms and would be able to relish those soft,pink lips instead of him?!

The thought alone made Seokjin shiver in pure disgust and rage.A feeling of intense territoriality surged inside him as his eyes turned blue.Fisting his hands,he muttered to himself,-

" Never. "
