Chapter 19

Raha, Jimin, Mrs. Kim, Mr. Kim, Sanah, Mark, Taehyung, Jungkook, and Y/n sat together in the living room of the safe house, a storm of tension hanging over them.

At the center, a large map was spread out on the table, surrounded by ancient scrolls, handwritten notes, and wooden weapons. They were devising a plan-to kill Hanseok, the powerful ancient vampire who was after Y/n's blood.

"He's centuries old," Mr. Kim said, his voice was low. "It's going to take every one of us to bring him down."

Taehyung's fingers sparked lightly with electricity. "If I can get close, I'll strike him with lightning. I can also read his thoughts-it gives us an edge."

Jungkook nodded beside him. "I'll create an illusion to throw him off. Maybe even a fake Y/n. Then I open a portal and trap him."

Y/n, flanked protectively by both her boyfriends, stayed quiet until she said softly, "If I touch him, I can sense what he's feeling... maybe confuse or delay him."

"No," Raha said instantly, her tone sharp. "You're not putting yourself in danger."

"She's not alone," Jimin said, his voice full of alpha authority. "We protect her. That's not up for debate."

Mrs. Kim looked at Y/n, then at her sons. "You both better keep her safe," she said, her gaze firm.

"We will," Taehyung and Jungkook said in unison, their hands gently brushing against Y/n's.

Mark leaned back. "So what are we waiting for? We hunt him, we trap him, and we end this."

A heavy silence followed before Taehyung stood, lightning flickering in his eyes.

"For Y/n," he said.
"For family," Jungkook added.

Everyone nodded In unison, determination filled in their eyes.

"But the question is," Sanah said, narrowing her eyes at the map, "how are we going to allure Hanseok into a trap?"

The room fell silent.

Just then, a gust of wind swept through the living room, strong enough to ruffle papers and stir hair.

In the blink of an eye, Catherine appeared-her heels clicking softly as she came to a halt near the doorway. The ancient vampire, Hanseok's partner, now stood before them with a cold gleam in her eyes.

"I'll help," she said simply, her voice smooth and sharp. "He took everything from me too."

Everyone stood instantly, alert and tense.

Jungkook narrowed his eyes. "Why now?"

Catherine met his gaze without flinching. "Because the only thing I hate more than werewolves... is Hanseok."

Catherine's eyes scanned the room, sharp and assessing-until they landed on Raha and Jimin.
Her lips curled into a subtle sneer.
She shot them a deliberately dirty look, her disgust for werewolves barely masked.

Raha arched a brow but stayed silent, unimpressed.

Jimin, arms crossed, growled low under his breath. "Careful, leech. We're on the same side. For now."

Catherine smirked. "I haven't forgotten what side you're on. But I'm not here to make friends. I'm here to kill him."
She turned back to the group, her tone cold. "So... do we have a deal or not?"

Taehyung and Jungkook exchanged a glance, subtle but sure.
They didn't need to speak-their powers had already reached into Catherine's mind.
She wasn't lying.
Her hatred for Hanseok burned hot and real, twisted with years of betrayal and loss.
