DEVIL'S INNOCENT MATE [TAEHYUNG FF]

Chapter 1

In the vast, fiery expanse of Hell, a kingdom shrouded in eternal darkness and ruled by fear, Kim Taehyung, sat on his throne. His crimson eyes, reminiscent of the blood moon, surveyed his domain with an unyielding gaze. Flames licked the edges of the marble floors, casting ominous shadows that danced in the dim light. The throne room, constructed of black obsidian, exuded a chilling aura that matched the ruler's cold demeanor.

Hell was not a place of chaos but a meticulously organized realm under Taehyung’s iron fist. Demons of various ranks carried out their duties with precision, knowing that any misstep would incur their ruler's wrath. Taehyung’s presence alone commanded unwavering loyalty and fear, as he was the ultimate authority in this infernal domain.

Taehyung's power was unparalleled, a blend of his father’s demonic heritage and his mother’s divine influence as the Moon Goddess. The combination of these powers made him the most formidable being in Hell. His signature ability, the Purple Moon Power, allowed him to manipulate both light and darkness, a unique prowess that struck terror into the hearts of even the bravest demons. His eyes glowed an eerie red when he summoned this power, an indication of the unstoppable force he could unleash.

Surrounding Taehyung were his closest allies, more like brothers than subordinates, each a formidable entity in their own right. These six companions had stood by him through countless battles and political upheavals, forming an unbreakable bond forged in the fires of Hell.

**Jeon Jungkook**, the Chief Commander of the Hell Army, was a force to be reckoned with. Muscular and imposing, he was known for his strategic brilliance and unmatched combat skills. His loyalty to Taehyung was absolute, and his presence in the battlefield often meant certain victory for Hell’s forces.

**Park Jimin**, a vampire and the Lord of Lust, was as charming as he was dangerous. Despite his sweet demeanor and short stature, he wielded immense power. His ability to manipulate emotions made him a master of persuasion and deception.

**Kim Namjoon**, Taehyung’s cousin, was a cunning strategist and the Lord of Greed. His ability to manipulate people and situations to his advantage made him a formidable advisor in both political and tactical matters. Namjoon’s loyalty to Taehyung was unwavering, always offering wise counsel.

**Jung Hoseok**, known by his stage name J-Hope, was the Lord of Envy and Taehyung’s right-hand man. As the commander and a vital part of the kingdom’s operations, his kind-hearted nature and sunshine-like demeanor masked a lethal efficiency that made him indispensable to Taehyung.

**Min Yoongi**, or Suga, was the Lord of Sloth and Vanity. Despite his savage attitude and cold demeanor, Yoongi was deeply committed to their cause, providing invaluable support and advice.

**Kim Seokjin**, Taehyung’s elder brother, was the Lord of Gluttony. Despite his disinterest in ruling Hell, he remained a crucial member of Taehyung’s inner circle, preferring to focus on healing and exploring new realms.

The camaraderie among these seven was evident in their interactions. Despite their differing personalities and domains of influence, they shared a deep mutual respect and an unwavering commitment to each other. It was in this dynamic environment that Taehyung received news that would shake the very foundation of his beliefs.

A ripple of unease passed through Taehyung as a demon messenger approached his throne, bowing deeply. “Your Highness, there is news of great importance,” the demon stammered, clearly terrified.

Taehyung’s crimson eyes narrowed. “Speak.”

The demon hesitated for a moment before continuing, “It appears… It appears that you have a mate, my Lord.”
