𝓑y the time the three mates had finished and now, on their way to greet their two unannounced guests, it was around half past 12. Yoongi was trudging behind the two husbands, clutching the clothes which he had for Hoseok in his arms. Jungkook and Jimin were quietly talking to each other as they descended the stairs.

The youngest's jaw felt stiff and sore, the taste of salty cum still filling the man's taste buds. He pouted, his bottom lip slipping out and he slowly trailed behind the two. Yoongi felt extremely tired, his eyes drooping further and the pain in his knees was like a kick to his head. Why did he agree to the offer again? The youngest swallowed thickly, the three landing at the open door frame of the living room.

Hoseok and Taehyung were smirking while staring at the three of them. Yoongi felt flustered - his mates just laughed and walked over to the sofa to sit down. The younger slowly followed them, sitting next to Jimin while Hoseok and Taehyung were placed on the other side of the corner sofa. Jungkook also sat next to Jimin.

It was silent for a while before the oldest broke the silence. "So, what did you want to talk about?" Jimin questioned, raising his brow. Taehyung sighed and sat up on the sofa. Before the man could talk anymore, Yoongi suddenly remembered the clothes for Hoseok and tapped the man's shoulder. The older looked at him and the younger held up the clothes.

Hoseok smiled, grabbing the clothes and standing up from the sofa. "I'll be right back." The werewolf walked out of the room and Taehyung spoke up again. "It's about the gala." He worked his statement quietly, the two vampires shooting up on alert. "The gala? We didn't get notified or messaged about one happening." Jungkook questioned in confusion, Yoongi tilting his head and Jimin, equally as shocked as his husband, frowned.

Taehyung groaned and crossed his arms over his chest. "You weren't going to be messaged. The king himself wanted me to tell you." The demon said, making the two men calm down and relax slightly from the initial shock. The youngest pouted and huffed, wanting to know what was going on as well. Though, the three men were oblivious to Yoongi's clear annoyance.

Jimin raised his brow and narrowed his gaze onto Taehyung. "But why? He could have just sent a messenger from the palace to us." The vampires were generally puzzled and curious to know why they couldn't be notified like usual. The demon sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose and looking up at the curious men. "There's a spy in the palace, they don't know exactly who but they know for sure, they're after you two."

Jungkook and Jimin's eyes widened, the two shocked. Yoongi's mouth fell agape and his brows furrowed with worry. "They're after Jimin and Jungkook?!" He exclaimed, panicking from the news he had just heard. "We're afraid so, whoever they are, want them." The three snapped their heads to look at Hoseok who had entered the room, a blank expression on his face. He was fully clothed now and slowly sat down on the sofa, next to his husband.

The three mates looked at each other and the puzzled, worried expressions were evident on their faces. "That's why he ordered me to inform you about the gala," Taehyung mumbled - the awkward tension in the room, filling the silence which followed. Jimin was biting his lip, fingers fidgeting on his lap. Jungkook was in pure shock, hands grasping his hair as he cursed and clenched his eyes shut.

Yoongi watched the two, mostly still unaware of the situation but hearing that his boyfriends were in danger of threat, sent chills down his spine. He already had a close bond with the two vampires and he doesn't want them to be taken away from him. The small man curled up on the sofa, wrapping his arms around his legs and looking at Jungkook and Jimin.

"The gala takes place in the next two weeks, I'll tell you exactly when as soon as I'm informed. You don't have to come if you don't want to. The King knows this is shocking news and he doesn't want you worrying the whole time you're there." Taehyung was earned two nods, and he sighed in defeat. There was nothing he could do to help his two best friends and it was making him angry at being so helpless.

Hoseok saw the saddened look in his husband's eyes and he frowned. He placed his hand on top of the demon's thigh and the older stared up at him, smiling weakly. The five men sat in silence for a while longer, the three mates just motionless in their positions. Hoseok slowly stood up, walking over to Yoongi and playing with his hair.

"I'll take Yoongi to his room." The werewolf said, Taehyung nodding at him and watching his husband pick up a compliant Yoongi and the two youngest left the room. Jungkook lifted his head and immediately his gaze set on his best friend's. "It can't be them, right?" He asked, the fear on his face made Taehyung angry and he wanted to know who the bastards were.

"We have no way of knowing if it is them. I'll fucking make them wish they died in that damn fire all those years ago if so." The demon's eyes glowed golden and Jungkook quickly grabbed the man's hand. "Easy, Tae. It will be best to stay calm, for Yoongi's sake, that is." The man looked at his husband, who was still trapped in his thoughts.

Jungkook worried his lip between his teeth before looking back at Taehyung. "You and Hoseok can stay in the guest room if you'd like. We'll be up to bed soon." The vampire stated, the pissed-off demon nodding slowly before standing. "We'll figure this out, I promise, guys. Whoever it is, they will pay." Taehyung walked out of the living room and it was just the two vampires left inside.

Jimin made a small noise and Jungkook quickly snapped his head towards the sound. He was heartbroken when he saw the fat, blotchy tears which fell from his husband's eyes and stained his flushed cheeks. The younger vampire wrapped his arm around the smaller's waist and pulled him to his side.

Sobs and cries came from Jimin's mouth, the poor male clutching onto Jungkook's shirt. "I'm sorry, Jimin." The younger whispered and his own eyes began to tear up. He grabbed his husband's waist and lifted him onto his lap. He slowly stood, the older one wrapping his legs around his waist. The sobs reduced to sniffles, but Jimin kept his head hidden in the crook of Jungkook's neck.

The man's heart sank and he clutched onto his husband. He hated seeing his precious mate cry, there was no way Yoongi wouldn't be able to feel it as well. The bond connected their emotions and so, it was easy to tell how your mate was feeling. The sadness in Jimin's heart was pouring into Jungkook's own, overfilling his worries and concerns.

Though, the younger kept strong and tried not to cry. He needed to get Jimin to bed, quickly. Jungkook slowly but surely walked across the living room and out into the main hall, ascending the stairs. It only took around 3 minutes for the taller to arrive at their room and he opened the door without much fuss.

He didn't bother to flick the light switch on, so he shuffled towards the bed. Jungkook set Jimin down, the older still clinging onto his arm. He gently removed the man's arm and it revealed that he was indeed asleep. Jungkook sighed in relief before closing their bedroom door and going back over to the bed.

He sat down and Jimin clung onto him again, placing himself underneath his arm and staying glued to his side. Jungkook smiled at his cute husband but still felt the amount of pain and suffering the older was going through. "I'll protect you, Jimin. That's a promise we made each other and it will never be broken." The younger whispered into the smaller's ear.

He closed his eyes, also worrying about their mate. Yoongi wouldn't know anything about what was going on and that made Jungkook furious. He just wanted to tell the human but it was too complicated. The man grunted, moving himself and Jimin, underneath the covers. The smaller snuggled up to his side and Jungkook let him, grinning slightly. However, the young vampire's mind was beyond puzzled and terrified, the whole situation leaving them with no choice but the wait and see.
