Heartless [Completed]

"Thank you!" Jangmi thanked the store owner after buying herself an ice-cream cone. Jangmi licked the ice-cream, savoring the taste in her mouth. She just ended school and was now on her way back to her apartment that she got herself.

After her parents died in a car crash, all their wealth automatically went to their only child, it was Jangmi. However, she wasn't allowed to stay alone and had to be sent to a foster home until she was legal to which she complied. She was never close to her extended family members anyway, and they didn't even visit her after the funeral.

By the time she finished eating her ice-cream, she was already near her house. She turned into the dark alley and started humming to the song that was playing in her earpiece. Her hands were in her pocket to keep them warm since winter was just around the corner.

She looked up at the sky and let out a small smile when she saw the stars twinkling.

She felt her hair stand when a sudden rush of wind came from her right out of nowhere. She stopped walking and looked around to see if anyone's around. She shrugged the uneasy feeling off and just continued walking until she felt her right arm being grabbed and she was pinned against the wall, her back burning in pain at that hard impact.

She opened her eyes when she felt an icy cold hand wrapped around her throat.

She let out a choke as she tried to gasp for air. She couldn't see the face of her attacker as black spots started to decorate her vision. She felt her attacker went nearer to her neck and felt his breath on her sensitive skin.

She wanted to let out a scream but it came out as a choke. The grip around her neck loosened as she felt 2 sharp things broke the skin on her neck. She took the chance to let out a scream and before she completely loose her consciousness.

"So, you're telling me that if I don't find my Queen soon, you're going to dethrone me and find another vampire that's fit for the throne?" Jungkook asked, monotone. He looked at the council in front of him like they're prey.

"I'm sorry if I offended you your highness. But, it's been more than a century since you've attained the throne but you've yet to find your mate." One of them said, terrified. Every single existing vampire fear the King. He's known to be ruthless in his killing and would always get what he wants. There's a rumor that if he doesn't get what he wants, he'll go on a rampage and would kill everyone in sight. A spoiled brat in a sense.

But that's just a rumor.

"So?" Jungkook simply asked with an eyebrow raised. He was completely unfazed by the council's determination to dethrone him. They've never liked the way he ruled over the vampire race. He's too uptight and doesn't listen to any of the council's words of advice. In another words, he stopped the council from controlling the Royal Family and make them do their work for them.

"So, we're going to have to dethrone you if you haven't found your mate by the end of this year." One of the braver council spoke up and Jungkook let out a smirk.

"And what power do you have to dethrone me, oh my precious councilors. As far as I'm aware, I'm the one who has the most power and with just a snap of a finger, I can dismiss all of you from the council and I would form my own one." Jungkook said, crossing his legs and resting his interlocked hands on his lap.

"I apologize for the disrespect that they've caused your highness. Please excuse us." One of the council apologized and Jungkook shook his head. "Oh, no. Please do stay. I'd like to listen to your opinions on this." Jungkook smirked, looking at their terrified faces.

"All of you are dismissed from the council. I have already gathered a few men to take over your places so I do not need any of your assistance. All of you will be banished from my land and live as a refugee for the rest of your lives. You have challenged my power and I will not just sit back and let myself be disrespected like that." Jungkook turned that smirk upside down when nobody said anything after that.
