The black robe helps him blend with the dark. There are more guards at the back of the palace but Taehyung has lived his life here, he has sneaked out more times than he can recall. He knows all the secret passageways like the back of his hand.

Even if someone sees him from a far, no one will suspect that it's their crown prince running away from his marriage.

It is a task to climb up the wall, he is pro at it any other time, but in a dress– no fucking way. He groans as he finally manages to climb it with much difficulty and jumps on the other side. His head jerks up as he hears more commotion here, for a second he almost stops breathing, there is more guards, he could hear the chatter so close.

But the voices are moving away and before he knows it, they are gone.

Taehyung runs, in his heavy, finely made, very expensive wedding dress. He runs through the streets. The streets are empty because the whole pack is gathered to watch his marriage ceremony. Too bad it's never happening.

God knows for long he runs and runs and runs. Through the streets, the market place. There's only enough light too see ahead, mostly from lanterns lit up. The moonlight helps too since the moon is almost full in the sky.

By this time the palace must be in chaos, the news would have spread that the crown prince has ran away. But Taehyung does not look back as he makes a run for the forest.

He pauses to breathe, not sure how deep he is the dark forest. His wolf senses help him see better but it is not as good as an Alpha's senses. He still struggles but at least he sees more than pitch black. 

He curses himself for not considering taking at least a satchel or some water with him. But it's too late for regrets now. 

He walks through the thick forest, tall trees and long bushes. He has never been alone here, specially this late. And now a new fear envelopes him. He hugs himself close, eyes cautiously looking around. 

Why the fuck did he run on impulse? What if he gets attacked by some other wild animal? Taehyung has sword fighting skills, some combat skills because he learnt them for fun. But no way in fucking hell he could ever fight a bear or something. There even could be venomous snakes around and his knowledge about herbs and medicine is as shit as Lee Jisung's personality. A little personal right there. 

Taehyung looks down, shuddering at the thoughts. 

Just a few steps in, he hears some faint noises. He pauses to listen and his heart shakes in his chest at the undeniable sound of gallops, of horses running.
