Piper's Pov

"Meet... your Father?" I said as i stare at Taehyung..

That gives me goosebumps.
Does he exist? Yeah right, his son was the living proof.
What does he look like?

"Are you sure?" I ask him and he nodded.
"Our life was at risk, Piper. Zeus will find out soon that my mate is a Pure Blooded Human.." Taehyung said and my eyebrows meet.

"Is it a big deal?" I said as i comb my hair. Aish.. Should i cut this, i guess its too long..

"For me, No. But for them, Yes. I'm afraid that they'll take you away from me or they'll use you against me.." Taehyung said as i feel his presence behind me.

He take the hair brush and do the honor to comb my hair.
I just let him brush my hair.

"But.. what if your Father will not accept me, because like what you said. I'm a human." I said.

"He can't do anything but to deal with it." Taehyung said.
"I'm afraid..." I muttered and he wrap his arms around my waist, pulling me closer.
"Don't worry. Your handsome Husband is here, no one can lay a finger on you as long as you're with me." Taehyung whisper behind my ear sending chills on my spine.

From the reflection of the mirror, i can saw that his eyes slowly turns into red.
Bloody red eyes that were filled with Lust and Hunger.

"T-taehyung?"

"Hmmm?" He hummed as his lips tracing crook of my neck.

"Did you f-feed?" I ask him and he stooped, looking at me  through the mirror.

He just lifted his wrist in front of me and there, i saw the two purplish holes. I faced him and he just stare at me, his fangs were already showing off as he breathe heavily.

"Why do you keep on feeding on yourself?" I said and he gulp.
"I don't want to hunt outside. It'll be a risk if one of the Soldiers of the Skies will saw me.." He reply and i bit my lip.

"Piper.. I can't... I'm starving.." Taehyung breathe and i gulp down. Fine.. This pigeon win.

"Okay— ahh!" I gasped when his fangs dig down on my neck. My back was being pinned on the wall while my hands were on his grip.

He moan and groan as he suck my blood out. After a few more seconds he pulled away, blood dripping down on his chin and he quickly wipe it out.

"Sorry.. I just can't control myself.." He said and i just nodded my head.
"It's... Okay." I said and quickly went to the bathroom to rinse out the blood from my neck.

As i finished cleaning myself, i walk out and saw him laying on my bed, eyes closed.

"Piper?" Taehyung said still his eyes were close.
"Hmmm?" I hummed in response.
"Do you love me?" He ask and i froze on my spot.

Do i love Taehyung?
He looked at me and got up from my bed.

"Because me. I love you. I love you as mush as you love me.." He said before he disappeared on my sight.

Do i love him? He's my mate so i should love him. Augh! It feels like i'm forcing myself to love him and i really hate it.

"Piper, Com'on.. We're going." Namjoon said and i followed him to the living room.

"So, how do we go there?" I ask them.
"Jhope hyung and Jiminie hyung are with me!!" Jungkookie said as he raised his hand.

"Fine. I'm with Jin hyung and Suga hyung.." Namjoon said.
"So, Piper will be with me." Taehyung said as he held my hand, locking our fingers.

"We're going! You know that we are not a Pure Blooded Devils like the four of you.." Jimin said as his eyes turns into red same goes to the other.

In a blink of an eye the three of them disappeared.
"Aish! They used the other way again.." Jin groaned.
"Let's just go and grab those kids before they appear  somewhere.." Namjoon said as the dark smoke covered them, until it scattered around and disappear.

"I guess we have to goo too." Taehyung said as he faced me. He hugged me and i scream when we fell into the depth of darkness.

My hands grip his shirt as i felt the impact of wind hitting my back. All i can see is darkness.
"Don't worry, Piper.. We're near." Taehyung whispered into my ear and i just nodded.

Afterwards, i heard some faded screams and cries of people making me shiver. The cold and chilling air filled the dark atmosphere. The smell of fire and smoke roaming around. Are we here?

"Piper, We are here. Open your eyes.." Taehyung said but i just stay my eyes close.
"I'm afraid.. This is hell, right?" I said and he giggled.
"Com'on.. Open your eyes. Handsome husband is here!" He said and i slowly open my eyes.

I bit my lip as i roamed my eyes around. Reddish skies with dark clouds floating above. There were no living organisms here, flowers and  animals were nowhere to be seen. Except for that crow who were staring at me. Geez.
Still, i can hear the faded screams and cries of people. I wonder what are they experiencing right now but for sure, it really hurts the way they scream for help.
And lastly, the large castle placed in the middle of this dead city.

"Let's go?" Taehyung ask me and i nodded my head. I can feel my heart raising its beat every seconds.

He held my hand and i stay myself close to him as he lead the way towards the palace.
There are some creepy creatures flying and roaming around. Those creatures have dark wings, two horns and a tail. There eyes were black. Pure black..

We reached the gigantic door and it automatically open.
Large windows can be seen in the both sides of the palace.
I looked above and gasped as i saw how high is the Ceiling, Endless.

My grip tighten on Taehyung's arms as i saw the horrible situation underneath the glassy tiled floor.

People were being burn by the flaming fire below. Men, women and even children were there, crying and seeking for help.

"T-taehyung..." I muttered as my eyes were still pinned below.
"It's okay, Piper. They are Dead. Souls of Dead.. Don't be afraid of them, they won't hurt you." He reply as we walked inside.

There was a throne in the far center of the hall. I can see from here that there were some moving... faces? Moving faces on that throne!?

We stop in the middle of the hall and i can't stop myself from shivering. I'm really nervous..

"W-where's Jin and the others?" I ask Taehyung.
"Probably, Playing around.." He reply and i gulp.
"W-where's your Father?"

But then before he speak, a crow landed on the throne before a whirling veil covered him.

"Father..." Taehyung speak as he bowed his head. I gasped as i saw how the crow turns into a man.

The man. Oh my god.
That was the man who meet my Mom in the restaurant!
The man who arranged me in a marriage with Taehyung!
