My Vindicators

Chapter 22-Yoongi

I wake up to the worst hunger pains I have ever had. I am in my room, and when I stand, I all but double over and crawl toward the open door.

Amy? What is wrong? Why does it feel like you are starving to death?

Jin must be awake.

Nothing to worry about, love.

I send back, hoping to assail his worry. I try to stand and have to brace myself on the door. I am simultaneously starving, hungry, and extremely horny all at the same time. I make it down the hallway and see Mingi running toward me. He catches me as my legs give out, Lifting me up, he carries me to the kitchen and sets me on the counter.

"Mingi should have called for one of us." Jimin says, coming into the kitchen

"Where were you?"

"In a meeting, trying to strategize. We were worried about you." He says. "You have been asleep for almost 12 hours."

"I'm starving."

"Here."

Mingi hands me a plate of food, and it is only then that I realize he is cooking. The top of the potatoes are covered in a healthy amount of blood flakes. I take a bite and hum at the flavor. But as I chew, the sweetness fades, and the flavor becomes more metallic, Scrambling, I almost don't make it off the counter and to the sink before I throw it back up.

"Whoa, what is happening?" Mingi appears at my side immediately.

"I don't know. It is Jin's blood. I thought it might work." Yoongi says from behind me.

"I need to go to them," I say, catching my breath.

"Okay, baby," Yoongi says from behind me.

Jimin scoops me up and carries me down the long flight of stairs, followed closely by Yoongi. It is eerily quiet. Once the door is open, I see both of my bonded mates pacing as far as their chains will allow. They both instantly turn toward me as we enter.

"Jin."

Jimin takes me straight to him, and without a word, Jin pulls me into his arms, angling his head so I can feed. I drink and drink and finally have to make myself stop, worried I will take too much. He looks a little pale but assures me that he is fine. I stand and take a few steps back, but it is not enough. Turning toward Tae, he welcomes me with open arms, and I drink the same from him. He also is a little paler when I am done. Then I stand back and look at them both. I realize something doesn't seem right.

"Jimin, why are they so calm?"

"Joon decided to give them a milder dose of the sedative we used to get them down here. It is keeping them a little more docile." He explains.

"I suggest you remove your hands from her." Jin snarls.

I look at him, and he is pissed but not feral like Tae was yesterday.

"I love you both," I say, looking from Jin to Tae before heading back up with Jimin and Yoongi.

We can hear them calling for me and yelling, but again, a little more docile. Back in the kitchen Ateez and the rest of my guys are seated eating, talking in hushed tones.

"How are you feeling?" Hobi asks, standing to walk toward me.

"Better. But wait, how are they feeding?" I ask.

"Since they are both bonded with you, they can drink from each other."

"But I just..."

He shakes his head. "I promise they are fine."
