Taehyung sat silently as he watched people walk past him, coming forward with their gifts or 'offers of peace' to their king. Jungkook had decided to keep Taehyung with his this time since he didn't want a replay of last time. Though he thoroughly enjoyed it.
The small brunette didn't like this once bit. He hated that these innocent people had to present gifts to their king. It wasn't right. A king was suppose to cherish his people and be grateful to have them, to have people loyal to him.
Of course, this was total opposite to Jeon Jungkook. The human sighed as he sat on a smaller throne next to the King, his eyes flickering to the bigger males hand that lay unoccupied.
Taehyung felt this itching nerve to reach out and hold it. His inner mate wanted that atleast. His skin burned with desire, his heart burned but his head knew that it was never happening.
So in order to distract himself, his eyes flickered around the room in pure curiosity or trying to distinguish his boredom. It wasn't long till his eyes settled on a little baby boy standing with his mother in the far corner. He looked no bigger that three years and no smaller than two. He wore a white blouse with short brown ripped shorts with white socks reaching his ankles and cute black strapped shoes.
The human felt his heart swell as he stared at the quiet younger who held his mothers hand. His hair was a beautiful chestnut and curled slightly at the end. His big doe eyes seemingly lost at such a young age.
Taehyung smiled brightly towards them, his body nagging him to wake up and go to them but a part of him was terrified, wondering what the kings reaction would be.
Eventually, his heart won this battle and for a few seconds, he looked to his side to see if the king was busy and to his fortune, he was.
The human boy quickly and stealthily made his way over but of course the castle staff and watchmen observed him as he approached the parent and the little boy. The small boy was the first to look up, his eyes widening in surprise before he yanked on his mothers dress to catch her attention. The mother quickly smiled as she looked at the child in curiosity but it was quickly gone and replaced with a smile when she noticed the approaching human.
Yes she smiled, but behind it was worry and fear. Taehyung didn't blame her but he swore that if anything were to happen, he would be there to protect them both.
"Hello..." Taehyung tried sweetly, being careful as to not startle them. His smile grew when the older women greeted him back before she noticed where the humans eyes were.... On her son.
She smiled down at her child before slowly pushing him forward.
"Go ahead Eunnie... Say hello." She whispers, Taehyung looked down eagerly and his smile only grew each second the big doe eyes stared up at him with caution.
"Don't worry Eunnie, I won't hurt you." The brunette assured as he got down his knees, now being somewhat eye level to the little baby, who took a step back in fright before coming closer again.
"Hewwo..."
The small boy said, his voice was so sweet, innocent and pure. The very voice instantly stitched and cured the humans heart.
"I'm Taehyung but you can called me taetae or Taehyungie." The human smiled before leaning his hand forward and gently running it through the boys hair in comfort. The small boy closed his eyes before leaning into the touch, this making Taehyung giggle slightly.
It was only then at that moment that the human had seen the smaller boy's eyes. It was a gorgeous dark blue, like a deep universal blue that held specks and streaks of purples. The mere colors had Taehyung gasping in shock, his eyes seemingly getting caught in trance as he tilted his head, and all he saw was the bright colors.
His hand slowly and instinctively going out to touch the smaller boys face but instantly snapped to reality when a hand came latching onto the two year old's ankle and pulling him up with so much force that he was dangling from the air.
"Mama!!" The boy screeched in horror before his cries were heard. Taehyung sat planted onto the floor in utter shock and terror as he watched Jungkook dangle the boy from a sickening height.
"No!! Eunnie!! My baby!!" His mother screamed, her body jolting forward in order to do something but the guards held her back, tears instantly streaming down in panic. Her motherly instinct kicking in as she thrashed, low growls making their way out her mouth.
"Mama!! Pwease!!! Help me!"
The cries hit Taehyung like a truck, reminding him of Jimin and instantly he let out a sob,
"Jungkook! Please!! Let him go!" Taehyung screamed this time, his fists planted to his sides as he yelled at his mate in a tedious way. His heart hurting so bad from watching that little baby cry and struggle against the grip but to no avail.
Jungkook's amused eyes now settled on the human begging before him but behind his eyes, there was fury and anger. It wasn't long till the alpha turned his attention back to the baby, his eyes glaring into the small boy,
"My brother was a little runt... Just like you." The raven says finally after a long observation, everyone in the room had become silent. Their eyes watched in horror and fear. Some people were crying while others turned the other way so that they wouldn't watch the c*****e that was about to come.
Taehyung, after watching everyone, started to panic. His eyes widening as he watched his kings free hand, large claws began to protrude replacing the flesh with curved and sharp edges. Jungkook's eyes began to glow an angry red and his teeth began to ascend in a sharp force,
The human felt almost sick. His insides churning at the thought of Jungkook hurting a child.
"No!! Jungkook stop!! Please don't hurt him!! He didn't do anything!!" Taehyung practically screeched, his body inching forward. He didn't know what he was doing but all he knew was that he needed to get that baby out of his hands.
The wolf turned his burning gaze onto Taehyung, this had the human whimpering in soft submission but his heart fought through. Wanting nothing more than to save this baby, he felt his body shake in dominance of his king but he restrained himself.
"He's just a kid... Jungkook..." Taehyung whispered softly as he began to inch slowly by slowly. Jungkook growled loudly in warning before but this didn't phase the latter as much as it should have.
"Please Jungkook...." Taehyung tried one last time and this seemed to work because Jungkook hastily let go if the baby's foot, making him come falling to the floor.
"No!!! Eunnie!!" His mother screamed in utter horror as she watched her child fall, the child was too small so he would surely sustain a head injury if he met with the ground but luckily Taehyung lunged forward and caught the little one in his arms.
Making sure to cradle Eunnie tightly and he began to slowly scramble away from the king, his heart beat beating so rapidly that he thought it would stop.
Jungkook watched in anger as his mate cradled the child in desperation and his fury blinded him to the point where he didn't mind lifting his leg up and slamming it into Taehyung ankle, not too hard to break it... But enough to fracture it.
The human cried out in serious pain as his body felt forward instantly from being paralysed with shock but his arms stayed tightly secured around Eunnie. As soon as he fell forward, he whispered into the babies ear,
"Go to mummy! Run far away! Run!" Taehyung screamed and he watched with teary eyes as the small boy ran in terror and eventually the two were united and ran out of the throne room in an attempt to escape. The human didn't mind tho, it was his fault that they got caught up in unnecessary drama so he fisted his hands at the pain in his ankle.
His tears came clashing down again, he was whimpering. Like how a dog would, his mind becoming foggy as he closed his eyes for a bit.
"What? Did you think it would be for free?" The king growled in disgust before he turned and exited the throne room,
The last thing Taehyung saw was the kings retreating shoes before he blacked out from the pain.
