BENEATH DRAGON WINGS

Chapter 9

Y/N’s POV:

Jungkook was dragging me furiously towards his room, and I couldn’t even process what was happening. His grip on my wrist was so tight that I could already feel it bruising, the marks forming from the pressure. I kept stumbling behind him, barely able to keep up as he stormed ahead. I could sense the heat of his anger radiating off him, and even though I couldn’t see his eyes, I knew they must have changed color, just like they always do when he loses control.

Fear gripped me, tightening around my chest. I couldn’t understand what I had done to make him so mad. My mind raced with possibilities. Was this it? Was today the day he was going to finally eat me? My heart pounded harder with every step, and my fear grew stronger with each moment that passed.

We reached his room, and with one swift movement, he threw me onto the sofa like I was nothing. I barely had time to catch my breath before he stood in front of me, his eyes blazing with fury. He looked dangerous, more dangerous than I had ever seen him before. But instead of cowering in fear, my anger flared up. How dare he treat me like this?

“Why are you doing this?!” I shouted, my voice shaking with a mix of anger and fear. “Why are you dragging me around like I’m some kind of thing? I’m not yours to control!”

His eyes darkened, and without missing a beat, he snapped back, “How dare you go where you’re not allowed? Do you have any idea how dangerous it was for you to be there?”

“There was no sign that said humans aren’t allowed!” I shot back. “I didn’t know! And I don’t need your permission to live my life. If I want to learn something or do something, I should be able to!”

Jungkook’s jaw clenched, and his voice turned colder, sharper. “I told you from day one, if you need anything, you are supposed to tell the maid. She is supposed to organize everything for you. You can’t just wander around and do as you please. You’re a problem. You frustrate me every single day. You don’t listen. You never listen. I am waiting for the day I can finally kill you and end this.”

His words hit me like a punch to the gut. My anger turned into something darker, a mix of hurt and rage. How dare he speak to me like that? How dare he make me feel like nothing? But he didn’t stop there. His cruel words kept coming, each one sharper than the last.

“You went to fight with a dragon?” He sneered. “Do you even know how to hold a sword? Do you even know how dangerous it was? If you wanted to learn something, you should’ve asked! You don’t get to do whatever you want without my permission. You’re not free here. I said you could live for a month, but that doesn’t mean you can act like you own the place. You need to understand your place.”

Jungkook’s jaw was clenched so tight that I could almost hear his teeth grinding. His scales started to appear on his skin, glowing in a golden hue, and his entire presence screamed danger. His aura radiated pure rage, and I felt my heart race with fear.

"Do you have any idea what could’ve happened to you?" he shouted, his voice echoing in the room. "If I hadn’t come when I did, you could’ve been in serious danger. You don’t seem to get it, do you? You’re just a meal here—nothing more. The only reason we give you humans this luxury is as a small compensation before your death. But that doesn’t mean you get to do any nonsense here"

His words hit me like a punch in the chest. I stood there, feeling more like an object than a person. He didn’t see me as anything but food, and his anger only made that more obvious. I wanted to speak up, to defend myself, but I was too terrified to say a word. I could feel the power rolling off him in waves, his golden scales shimmering as his anger deepened.
