CHAPTER EIGHTEEN (CLEAN)
One more day.
It'll be one more day until everything will go as planned by the witch. Taehyung will be the King again, and she will be the Queen.
She already handled everything, from Jungkook preparing himself, Seokjin gaining his status as a Duke again to Hoseok bringing himself back himself to the Palace.
Seokjin was aware about the witch's present but he couldn't do anything about it. Only the witch could heal Taehyung like this. He just let her be—although he doesn't know how she come back alive when he clearly witnessed her dying in that forest which was now the Legendary Garden of the Palace, specifically the Legendary Tree.
(a/n: the same garden/tree elisse died)
Hoseok didn't know about Taehyung being still alive, all the he knew from Seokjin was that he is healing inside his room. Though he doesn't get why he can't enter Taehyung's bedroom.
The past three days was quiet peaceful with no one around to bother them. Thus, Hoseok and Seokjin are the one protecting the entire kingdom.
No one knew about Namjoon—all the they heard was that he was killed in an instant. Only Seokjin and Jungkook about him being alive. Namjoon fled to somewhere far away, leaving the Palace under Taehyung's care while Jimin is still missing, Hoseok was still trying to locate the other Duke around the entire nation with the help of Seokjin but couldn't find a single trace of his scent.
There was no one on the throne, yet just one more day, the seat will belong to the real ruler again. And in a day of Taehyung healing himself physically and mentally, something inside him has his memories replaying his head.
It was a memory that he wouldn't want to forget and forever be stored in his mind, but will soon be forgotten.
(a/n: continuation of ch apter 20 in risen; also words in bold mean taehyung's thoughts)
"You made me do this, love. You gave me no choice." he whispered before adding. "This is the only thing I can do to protect you and that is to make you mine, mark you as my person."
Taehyung snaked his arms around Ha Na's waist again, snuggling his face on the crook of her neck.
"Let's do this sometimes. I love it when you're in my arms." He honestly said before doozing off to sleep while Ha Na just stayed there, unable to move from his tight grip.
Silence then took over making the surrounding as the two of them eventually fell asleep—not that vampires fall asleep.
Past midnight, instead of sleeping, Taehyung moved and lifted his head watching her in adoration and admiration.
He longed for her and missed her all this time. A thousand years, he waited for his real mate to appear—a mate that belonged only to him. His fingers trailed down her jawline as she slightly shivered under his touch while she's in her deep slumber, letting out a whimper.
"Ha Na..." Taehyung muttered, eyes focused her on lips. Guilt was written all over his face. "I want to protect you at all cost-and by doing that...I have to mark you for real."
And with that, Taehyung's eyes flashed, ready to put her under a spell in just a matter of seconds. Clothes were thrown across the room with their hands roaming each other's body as their mouth created a sinful moans and muffled sounds.
"You're so beautiful." Taehyung purred, tucking her hair behind her ears.
I'm sorry. He mentally screamed, wanting to hit himself and be stabbed by a knife for doing something sinful.
A tear tickled his cheeks, started chewing his lower lip and his eyes welled up with tears. He knew she didn't love him back yet he couldn't resist that powerful tie that connects the two of them. He leaned forward as their foreheads touching with her scent flooding his senses.
With a slow move, his lips brushed hers—not in a lustful way but it was slow yet sloppy, soft, passionate, gentle, and full of love. His hands rested below her ear, thumb caressing her cheeks as their breaths mingled.
A gut-wrenching sobs were held that tore through Taehyung's chest as tightening of his throat and intake of breath comes along. Although he was just using a spell right now, he knew that Ha Na wanted him too—besides, his spell wouldn't work if she wouldn't. He pulled away from their kiss, leaning away as he looked at her in the eyes that filled with so much emotions.
I love you so much. He mentally said, wanting her to hear it. He leaned in again, head nuzzling her neck as he gave her a soft, gentle and delicate kisses. He could feel the beating of her heart against his chest with his hands drifted to her hips.
He began sucking and nibbling her neck down to her collarbone, making sure to mark his territory with those hickeys.
I'm sorry I had to do this. Taehyung suppressed his sobs, his chest rises and falls.
Both of them were already naked and bodies colliding together with a loud shrieked of scream coming from Ha Na's mouth.
I'm sorry for doing this. Taehyung whimpered, his vision was blurry; it was difficult for him to see clearly.
I'm dying soon.
Taehyung pulled away from her neck, connecting their lips together and giving his soulful kisses that comes from his heart.
And I want you to bare my child, and continue my lineage.
They collided in a perfect rhythm.
Everything was perfect.
But not for Ha Na when she noticed her soulmate with tears on his eyes.
"Don't cry." She spoke slowly, bringing her hands to his cheeks in attempt to comfort him.
Hot torrents of grief coursed down his face at the thought of leaving Ha Na alone with his child. Will they be okay, and survive?
A great tremor overtook his body, quickly pressing their foreheads together with him inside her and palms rested on her cheeks.
Please bare my child.
Taehyung whimpered, smelling her blood gushing out of her. It made him insane just by the scent of it.
She was a virgin after all. He was her first.
Ha Na purred as soon as pleasure overtook the pain she was feeling. He was gentle and slow as possible, not wanting to hurt his Queen.
Ha Na was a mess, breathing hastily and rather fast as the vampire on top of her continues his job.
I'm sorry...please forgive me.
Taehyung kept on repeating those words. His mind was clouded with fear and anxiety but soon wanted to forget it as he felt every inch of his woman's soul.
The way she reacts to his touch was as if she needed it. But in reality, she was under control, Taehyung's under control.
Taehyung couldn't stop smelling the blood, and couldn't control himself anymore.
He needed her.
He glided himself from her face, hands used to tilt her neck to give him a better access as he gave soft feather kisses on it.
I love you. He said before sinking his sharp teeth on her neck making Ha Na screamed in pleasure and pain.
He has finally marked her for real.
With that memory in mind, Kim Taehyung's has finally opened his eyes.
