Taeyang

There’s only four words I could say to myself right now.

I should fucking die.

I should throw myself in a werewolf territory and let them chew me into pieces, or even let the hunters have the honour to decapitate me. I deserved every torture devices ever invented tested on me. I should suffer for my entire immortal life for initiating pain on my own mate, heck I would not even complain.

Even when I were to be trialled by the council, there was not enough reason for me, as it was only one.

To say that I was pissed by Kang Daesung was an understatement. I was beyond mad to the point that the monster within me was fighting me for release. He was angered and wished to bath in the blood of the one who made me feel such way. I refused to taint my hands with blood of the innocent, and my best friend on top of that.

Of course Daesung was partly to blame. No vampires or any other shifters in that case will enjoy seeing other male holding their mates while looking at them with eyes filled with love, the way only mates should have. No males will appreciate other males’ scent on their mate, even the smell was small as a friction of dust. It was enough to trigger a lifelong fight. Yes, we’re territorial, and as much as it seemed absurd it only proved how important mates were. There will be no logical explanation to say, it was sacred, a divinely intervention for any mythical being.

That being said, I could never forgive him if he ever possess a kind of feeling for Yuna that he should not have, which I was positive that he did. Daesung was an old friend of mine, and I can read him like an open book and vice versa. It was fun before, we used to tease him whenever one of the high ranked daughters asked him out, and he’ll return late at night claiming that he was close to being a victim of rape. Now, not so much. I noticed those disgruntled look he had or even despising stare he gave me whenever he thought I was not looking. I knew he respected me as a friend and his Prince, but it rivalled to his thoughts of Yuna.

Daesung never held interest for any of the girls, vampire and human, yet he have had some for my Yuna? I would not be surprise if he often queried the Moon Goddess for the doubt that I would ever be a good mate to Yuna.

I strengthened my grip on the wheel as I tried to control the inner monster that was still in a raging fury. The only thing that stopped him for a brief matter of time was when he saw the state of his mate, halfway to Hades’ realm. He was instantly quietened down as the fury turned into worry, he pushed me to her, wanting to hold her close as we often did in our wildest dreams.

It torn me apart when I could have possibly everything in this world but not the one that mattered the most.

I looked at the side mirror to see the reflection of the palace was getting smaller as the hollow feeling in my heart grew. I know pain will follow soon after in just a matter of time.

My car speeded out of the palace’s massive gate, the guards who were patrolling bowed their heads to youngest Prince probably wondering why he returned after choosing to stay out of the Vampire realm for so long. I stopped just at the intersection, looking at my rear-view mirror. Two small headlights were making its way to me and before it reached the gate, I raced my gears to the left road, going the opposite way I knew the car behind me would go.

It was an hour worth of travelling but I was way past my speed limits, not that anyone would care. I think I’ll reach the other side in no time.

It was bustling like the usual, the highway that functioned as a bridge connecting Vampire realm and that of Human’s was packed with cars going back and forth from the portal, an invisible force that separated the two worlds. At the end of the barrier, stood four guard towers, two on each sides of the roads, where the royal guards were assigned to keep in track who came in and out of the portal. As medieval as it sounded, they were nothing less. The towers were equipped with world’s best technology, and only the best staff. Unlike humans, we did not use our weapons on each other, instead we revolutionised them together. We could take the entire human species if we wanted to. Instead we didn’t and let them continue on their fetish over aliens.
