Seokjin stretched and roamed his gaze around the bedchamber as he got up after who knows how many hours of sleep.

A pout appeared on his lips as he couldn't find his alpha in the room.The door was closed but wasn't locked from inside any longer.

'So,he has  left....'

His pillow and quilt still had Taehyung's smell on them.He indulged himself into that comfort for a few more moments before his mind snapped at him.

'Its almost evening!'

Getting up from his bed,the prince went to his closet to find a new set of clothes which he'd be wearing at the crowning ceremony of his brother.

He didn't have to wash up though;Taehyung had done the work for him.

Seokjin blushed at the thought as he always does.Putting on a perfect royal attire, he fixed his hair and went out of his room.

The surrounding was rather empty;he thought as he headed towards the Royal hall.

Seokjin felt a bit uncomfortable with the overall environment of the castle.It seemed to be quiet..... Very quiet.

There was not a single sign of a person in the hallways.Most of the people were supposed to be in the royal hall but that didn't mean that the rest of the castle would be felt as an abandoned one.

Something else caught his attention too and it was the fact that nobody had come to his bedchamber to  search for him even though he was absent during the whole afternoon.

Not even Yoongi or Namjoon had showed up!And....apparently, Taehyung wasn't with him too.

The thought made Seokjin frown.

He increased his pace towards the hall and when he finally reached there,he found huge hall empty.

Well not completely. There were a few young men and women in red and black velvet hoods and Seokjin's gut said that they clearly do not belong to his kingdom.

He felt uncomfortable at the way those strange people were eyeing him.

'Who are these people?'

'What are they doing here?!'

'Where are the others?'

Seokjin had  lot of questions in his mind but he found nobody who could answer him.

"You seem so lost, Your Highness..."

The somehow familiar voice made Seokjin turn around.

"Well... I can't blame you though.", Jennie continued while stepping up towards him.

Seokjin's frown deepened.

"Lady Jennie! W-where are everyone else? Did something happen? Soo...?", he asked in a single breath.

"She is asleep in her room.", Jennie worded out.

-"And.....the others are too...."

"W-what does that mean? Why all of a sudden?! I couldn't-" , Seokjin's heart thumped in an unknown fear.

"Understand, right? Ofcourse you couldn't.... Well...because of me.My spell.",Jennie smirked.

"Your spell ?!", The older echoed her.

Jennie nodded as her eyes started to transform into crimson ones, indicating that her inner alpha is taking the charge.

-"Ever heard about the Wizard Duke Kim? I'm sure you have,Elder prince..... I carry his blood in my veins. Making people unconscious is nothing to me..."

'Wizard Duke.....Kim...'

'....Our songsaeng-nim told me once that there was a duke in our country who....practiced wizardry.'

Seokjin's eyes widened as he finally realized whom Jennie was talking about.

So that means....

Taehyung is that very wizard's son!Then why didn't he....

"Where is Taehyung?!", Seokjin yelled.

He couldn't understand what was happening all of a sudden but he did  figure out that whatever Jennie was up to do, wasn't good for his family.

"At the prison, to visit our great Queen.", the alpha hissed in response.

Seokjin prayed to the heavens to turn this situation into some kind of joke.His mind betrayed him as the fateful moments gradually unfolded infront of his eyes.

"Do you even know what are you saying?Are you even in your right mind?! WHY would you do that to Eomonie?!,he demanded hysterically.

"BECAUSE YOUR DEAREST EOMONIE DESERVES THIS! BECAUSE SHE HAD DESTROYED OUR LIFE.BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T EVEN DESERVE TO LIVE!",Jennie shrieked and bared her teeth; her eyes crimson and her pheromones radiating her furious rage.

Seokjin flinched and stepped back as Jennie's pheromones started overwhelming him.But before he could be affected anymore; a tall figure stood infront of him;guarding him from the female alpha's strong pheromones.

The omega instinctively grasped the other's arms in order to calm himself down.

"Not my mate,Jen...."

It felt as if the entire hall shuddered as Taehyung warned  his sister in a deep voice while glaring at her through his shoulders.

Jennie snapped up from her haze.Her eyes started coming back into their natural color as she started panting after facing her inner alpha's rage.

Taehyung turned his head back to his omega.He caressed the prince's cheeks before thumbing his lower lip slowly.

Seokjin looked up at him with glassy,almost ocean-blue colored eyes.

"I'm sorry,my Prince..... I'm sorry,I had to leave you alone.I'm here now,hm? I'm really....",the blonde murmured softly only to be cut off by the older.

-"Why is she doing this?!"

Taehyung only stared back at Seokjin and the prince felt as if his world was crashing infront of him.

"Taehyung ~" ,he insisted desperately before grabbing the younger's collar.

-"Taehyung just tell me  that all of this is a lie~ Taehyung....Please~"

And what Taehyung replied made Seokjin's world flip upside down.

-"Its the biggest truth of our life,my Prince. Your mother..... is our one and only enemy and from now on.....southern kingdom is under... My government."

Seokjin shook his head in disbelief;his face pale in the pain of betrayal.Everything was perfect;then why all of this is happening out of the blue?Where did everything go wrong?!

Clutching the blonde's collar even tighter;he bit the insides of his lower lip and pushed him with all the strength he had.

Taehyung somehow managed to keep his balance but soon sprinted forward and some things happened in such a tiniest split of a second that it took the omega a moment to organize the situation.

There was a pointed sword right infront of the left side of his chest and the young man in black hood who was holding that sword had his eyes widened as Taehyung's sharp nails were digging inside his throat.

Blood oozed out of those spots and the sword fell from the man's,now loosened grip.

Taehyung threw the man towards one of the walls like a mere doll;his hands had turned into claws,his eyes blood red as usual and two fangs had grown from his upper gum all of a sudden.

" I said NOT MY MATE ! ",he growled and all of the people in hoods kneeled down on the floor;putting the clutched hands upon their hearts;they lowered their heads infront of the blonde.

"Your wish is our command, Your Grace", they said in unison and there was only one thought that overwhelmed Seokjin's mind, making himself shiver in fear and betrayal.

'Taehyung......You're a....Vampire?!'
