Devil's Blessing- a taekook fanfic

chapter 5 (1/2)

Jungwoon was walking in front of his queen's cabin. Sweat trickled down his forehead and his hands clutched tightly at his back.

"What is even happening with us" he breathily let out. Cursing his fate to be so unfair to them when they were nothing but good to everyone.

Since the time Bishop went away the King is scared and doesn't know what to do about the situation. He could only wait outside his alpha mate's camber to know what happened to her and his kid.

"King, I think you should rest. You will tire yourself by pacing like this outside the room" one guard whispered to him. Jungwoon looked at him and shook his head.

"I can't rest now. Everything is so messy around... And In all this I can't bring myself to rest" he responded. The guard couldn't see the always jolly-looking king so stressed and tensed. He knew the situation about the prince's demonic power is very scary but till some help comes they can't even do anything, could they?

But respecting the king's decision he didn't say anything and stood there silently.

Soon, the medic came outside. Her skin slightly burned, and exhaustion displayed all over her face and body. "How is my pup?" The king asked as soon as he came.

"Your highness... The prince as you might have gotten to know is a male Trueblood but he is very different. His eyes weren't shining red instead were pitch black. He is beautiful but still, the aura around him is horrifying. I can't even explain it in words but he isn't like some usual werewolf. He is a mystic creature who only Moon Goddess can understand" the doctor explained. She was surely befuddled.

"I know... I know" the King sighed, "And what about my queen?"

"She is fine. But- I don't think she would be able to conceive again, my lord. Her womb has got several damages and bearing a second child would be life-threatening. I am sorry" she ducked her head down in apology. The way everything was going downfall would make anyone think that series of curses for misfortune has fallen on their kingdom.

Jungwoon rubbed his forehead with his hand. "Thank you for informing me. Now please go and rest" the doctor bowed and went away.

The King went inside the chamber and was hit with strong gloomy dominance. But not letting it affect him he made his way towards his wife who with longing eyes was looking at their son. Her tears were falling uncontrollably as she understood that her son isn't a normal werewolf but a demon. She could feel his son's dark and blank soul and it made her sob hysterically.

Even more, because she couldn't even do anything about his situation. She wanted to touch her son, hold him in her arms, feed him, play with him- but she just couldn't touch him. She tried but her hand got burned. It's difficult for anyone to touch the prince. Even standing there near him was difficult but being his mother she has a less much lesser effect as compared to others but still it wasn't easy.

Jaehee made a space between her hand and her son's body and started moving her hand in the air. Jungwoon's heart dropped when he saw how badly she wanted to caress her pup but as she couldn't reach him so she is caressing his body without touching it.

"Jaehee" he called. The queen looked at him, more tears of anguish falling from her eyes.

"My majesty" she cried and made grabby hands for him. Jungwoon hurriedly came towards her and held her trembling mate in his arm. "O-our s-son... H-he i-is... A d-d-em-" she couldn't complete her sentence as it was interrupted by a series of whimpers and hiccups.

"Sh, sh. I know, my love. I know" Jungwoon bite his quivered lips. He pecked her head, shutting his eyes tightly and shedding his tears too.

Jaehee made space between them and looked at him hopefully. "Our son... He will get better, right? The demon will go away, right?" She asked, breathing heavily and uneven.
