Chapter 9

Song recommended: major laser ft wild belle - be together

Taehyung's eyes darted open. Met with the same golden ceiling and caressed by the same silken red sheets. His body was still abit sore from the punishment he had received about a week and a half ago.

When he woke up from the lashings, baekhyun had told him that Jungkook had went to the east in order of his own business. Taehyung was ofcourse relieved but in the absence of that beast, he had to deal with the c*****e left behind.

His back was almost ripped to shreds and he had to lay on his stomach for about a week. Ointments and oils applied to his back every day and night by Baekhyun in order to speed up his recovery, food was fed to him and he had to get ,embarrassingly, changed by the maids.

All those days past and the human felt happy that he never got to see Jungkook, yet of course, there was a small part of him that miss him dearly and hope that it was 'him' taking care of Taehyung.

The brunette stretched his muscles, sighing as he heard pops and turned to the other side. His eyes meeting the red satin pillow in which the king lay his head.

The human has yet to sleep with his king. Jungkook has never used the same room from the time the human arrived.

The brunette shamelessly pulled the pillow toward his nose and inhaled the intoxicating scent. It smelt like musk and rain dew, not forgetting a little bit of Jungkook's natural aroma.

The human sighed into the pillow, his body becoming warm and fuzzy as he clutched onto the inanimate object, picturing and wishing it was Jungkook. His heart still loved and swayed to every beck and call of its mate even though he's caused so much problems.

Taehyung felt extreme happiness and pleasure from sniffing the pillow that frustration bubbled to his surface, frustration of Jungkook not changing and being the way he is.

The human bit the edge of the pillow and pulled on it slightly before looking straight ahead and noticing the huge portrait he admired every morning. It was a portrait of his mate, sitting upon a thrown, crown on his head and scepter clasped in his hand.

His eyes a sharp glare, piercing into the soul if you stared too long. Taehyung felt goosebumps rise on his skin, a sigh leaving his mouth as he threw his legs off the bed and forced himself to get up.

Taehyung had just finished breakfast and had a quick shower. The rest of the day was spent in the pretty rose garden that surrounded the entire castle.

Blood red roses smeared all along the paths and grass, kind of giving two meanings to the place.

One: a beautiful place that sustains growth and life.

Two: a sign of dead and bloodshed.

Definitely two.

The brunette concluded as he picked a bunch of roses, walking into the rose bush with no worries, even when the thorns tore through skin and allowed for sweet crimson to escape, providing nourishment for the blood thirsty flowers.

Taehyung hissed tho, when he picked a rose whose thorn dug further than it should have. Blood oozing out like a clean and pure bead.

The human stared at it, long and hard. His eyes becoming mesmerised for some reason. Maybe it was because of the way the dull sky provided a shiny glimmer to bounce off the crimson surface or maybe it was because that Taehyung had spotted Jungkook within his blood.

Jungkook's piercing eyes peering into his soul.

Taehyung's breath hitched but the marvellous sight was cut short when the human jumped in fright upon feeling something ice cold and wet hit his cheek.

His head slowly lifting to stare at the darkening angry clouds. Without mercy, rain began to pelt down, instantly drenching him.

The human gripped onto the roses, thorns cutting further into his baby soft skin. Hissing slightly when the rain touched the open wounds, causing them to burn. The human quickly chucked the roses to the floor before speed walking back into the castle, of course, he was being watched though.

Just in case , if he tried to escape.

Taehyung ran his finger over the millions and millions of books that littered every wall of the giant library.

The sky had turned into something black, and rain pelted heavily against the roof and concrete, making it exceptionally hard for the human to hear his own breathing. He was somewhat bored and decided to waste his time by exploiting the dozens of books dusting away in the neglected room.

The human enjoyed romance and drama, checking almost every description of every book but there was one that caught his eye, it was a thick black book with nothing but silver letters spreading across like some shredded material,

Tales of wolves: Mythology, predictions and prophecies

The human silently ran his fingers across the protruding letters, his eyebrows narrowed at the title. It had caused something to stir deep within him, this sudden need to read it.

Like a magnet pulling him.

Taehyung eyed a small desk in the corner with a green lamp shell and golden light gently shining to give some light, the brunette sat down before immediately opening the book. The first page had nothing interesting besides index and topics.

Taehyung quickly skipped to the first page: (skip if you don't wana read facts about were wolves)

"Mythology"

The big bad wolf is very well known from fairy tales like "Little Red Riding Hood" or "The Seven Little Goats". According to those fairy tales the wolf is evil, vicious, cunning and rapacious. Numerous proverbs also depict the wolf as a bloodthirsty killer, especially as one that kills more lambs than he can actually eat. And there is no hope that he will ever change, for "the wolf may loose his teeth, but never his nature" . Wilhelm Grimm has even described the wolf as the most evil animal of all.

Indo-European mythology generally describes the wolf as being of demonic origin. In the Edda, the ancient Icelandic sagas, for example, the wolf is the symbol of mysterious powers: Odin, the god of war and death, was accompanied by two wolves; it was a wolf, Fenrir, that played an important role in the destruction of the world; two wolves chased sun and moon and at the end of the world they catch up on their prey. Today, at the eclipse of the sun, some people still say that the wolf is eating the sun. In Egypt the wolf was seen as the guardian of the underworld and as god of death. The earliest East-Indian legends described the wolf as deceitful and evil, and Christianity went even further and set the wolf equal to the devil. There are various legends from East-European countries, Russia and Scandinavia telling about the devil's creation of the wolf.

The word "wolf" itself has a very negative meaning: The Swedish and Norwegian term for wolf is varg, in Icelandic vargr, which not only means wolf but also is used for a wicked person. The Gothic word vargs stands for murderer, strangler, outlaw, and evil spirit. The verdict "thou art a warg" declared the culprit an outlaw. Those people were banished forever from human society and were forced to live in the wild. Some authors argue, that the werewolf-traditions of Germany and Scandinavia arose from this practise, since the convicted person was thought no longer a human being. It was forbidden to help him with anything, be it food or shelter, even if the giver was his own wife. Witches were also closely associated with wolves: Witches were believed to appear disguised as wolves. And the Latin word lupus is an abusive word for witch.

Taehyung felt shivers run up and down his spine as he read through the information. His blood running cold, everything felt suddenly darker. His fingers shook as he read on further, flipping page to page.

Antidotes, cures, curses, attacks.

The human felt his heart still, he could somehow feel something watching him.

He turned around immediately, eyeing the room cautiously but he was met with nothing. There was pin drop silence, and clap of thunder had caused the latter to shake.

He felt his skin crawl.

He decided to shake it off and turned back to the book to read further, coming across a page that read:

"Predictions and prophecies."

From past myth, the first ever 'were' wolf was said to be named dong il. Reason being unknown but evil certainly resided within him. Killing innocent people and using their bodies as a threat to others.

His rein and torture had lasted for centuries, conquering the world of the 1400's and soon his rein was cut short in the 1600. Him being known to be close to immortal.

The rise of other werewolves were identified, different species ranging from omegas, to betas and most feared.. Alphas.

Creatures of the night being proven to exist, wolves and other beasts spotted in deep corners of the woods. People choose to believe that they've always existed rather than not at all... Being hidden away for decades and finally chosen their time to reclaim the earth as their own.

Though not all were proven to be evil, wishing to live amongst humans in peace. Dong il's conquer had fallen immediately, betrayed by his own kind in order to keep the peace.

But there will be evil again.

A baby said to be born of wolf decent, evil so strong that it could be detected from birth.

Prophecy has said that this child born of dong il's decent will kill his family and everything around him in order to rule.

The brunette felt his heart beat heavily in his ears as he reread that line for about five times. There was no further information there.. Leaving him with a heavy and curious mind. Taehyung was about to turn the page but instantly stopped when a rich scent filled his nose,

Oh..no...
