Keina made her way to the common room where she could hear a news story in Korean being played. A crack in the door gave her a glimpse of the events on the news report.
All of the boys were seated, staring at the television as it reported . Namjoon's jaw was clenched in frustration as his eyes quickly scanned the screen. The thick vein in his neck throbbing each time his teeth ran across each other. I was obvious that he was furious.
A ringing from his pocket distracted him from the macabre story. The others kept their attention on the screen, various expressions on their face, ranging between shock and disgust.
"Yes , Sir." Namjoon spoke gruffly, trying to contain his anger. "We're watching it now. "
...
"As much as I don't want to say it , Devin you'll have to stay here with Jungkook. " Keina spoke , as Taehyung attached a thick , black collar around her neck.
"The hell I am? The fuck I look like staying alone with a vampire?'
"Because you don't have to worry about him biting you since he's healing." Taehyung said.
"Fuck that. I'm going too."
"Bae..please. Its....."
"If he wants to go , let 'em go. " Namjoon's voice answered from the top of the steps.
All attention was on the tall vampire as he ran his fingers down the spiral staircase. His appearance changed dramatically. His hair now a dark brown color and slicked back, showing his pale forehead. A thick black shawl hiding the rest of his body from view.
"We don't have time to deal with his impudence."
''Impudence is a little harsh, don't you think, Namjoon?'' Seokjin said, sliding his black leather coat on his broad shoulders. He slid the dark sunglasses from his pocket, onto his face.
''No.'' The leader walked through the small group gathered at the bottom of the stairs and stood between Keina and Devin. His gaze sharp as he stared at the heavy set , dark skinned man.
''You are wading into dangerous waters.'' Namjoon addressed Devin in a whisper. ''You may think you have control of what is going on, but you don't.''
Devin swallowed and looked away from the tall Vampire. He didn't understand the animosity coming from him. Did the leader have a personal vendetta against humans? It's not like he chose to be in a relationship with a werewolf nor did he choose to be in the Coven's manor.
....
"Order." The green haired man's voice boomed across the room, the heavy tapping of his wooden gavel echoing through the chambers. The various people ended their chatter and turned their attention to the man .
His arms crossed on his chest and a un pleased look on his face.
"Keina, first you harm a human on your land then you harm one here." GD spoke.
"I did not do it. I've been locked in the house for the past three days. " Keina desperately pleaded. She attempted to motion to Namjoon but her hands were bound together with the same material as her collar; thick , black leather with small wires under the material, designed to deliver a shock if one were to step out of line.
"I don't think she did it. " Taeyang said , crossing his legs in his seat. He played mindlessly with the lose threads of his tattered jeans.
"Of course you wouldn't." T.O.P replied, looked to the white haired man. "You're just like her , Mutt."
"Mind your business ." Taeyang stuck his tongue out as he looked back to the other leaders. "Was she staying with you ,Jo, or was she with Morkie?"
"She was with me. " Namjoon placed his hand in the air. "I'm not sure if Mark knew of her arrival. "
"Not until today. " Mark added in , his arms crossed on his chest.Mark was irritated. Not only did he not know that one of his Betas was involved in a human attack, Taehyung, who was supposed to be his best friend, didn't tell him that she had returned to Korea.
"Exactly . Who else could it have been?" GD shrugged.
"I know it's not her. Just believe in me , Hyung." Taeyang pleaded, showing his version of the puppy dog eyes.
"Stop that ." GD shook his gavel dismissively at his brother. No amount of pleading on his species' behalf would change GD's resolve. Someone had to be held responsible for the disturbance within the human world.
"Yes Kayori?" T.O.P pointed to a dark skinned girl in the front row. Her pointed brown ears twitching excitedly atop her head.The silver collar around her neck glistened with the same color of her eyes.
"Monie?" Kayori turned her golden eyes to meet Namjoon's scarlet ones.
"I'm already on it , Princess. " Namjoon stood up as Kayori slid her cellphone to him.
"There's only been four attacks this year. " Namjoon projected the images onto the wall.
"Yes. Don't remind us. " GD sighed running his fingers through his hair.
"Woojin back in January." Namjoon slid his fingers through the projection. A video of a shadowy figure dissembling a human male appeared. The man's distressed screams and crunching of his bones filled the chambers. The other representatives looked on, the video offering a grim reminder of the seriousness of the situation.
"I'm still paying for that." Bang Chan added in , His ears flat against his head as his cheeks lit up in shame. "I should have done better."
"Yes. " GD agreed, nodding. "Get to the point, Namjoon."
''Yes, Sir.'' Namjoon nodded, motioning back to the wall. ''Lucas in March, Taeil in May , and Keina five days ago.''
''They all described the attacks as sounding animalistic in nature.'' Namjoon spoke playing a mixture of news broadcasts that spoke about the aforementioned attacks.
''However, with the one last night, it was described as a well planned murder.'' Namjoon said. ''There's no way any of the Noctums did it.''
''If I wanted to eat, there's no way, I'm dismembering someone and only taking the torso.'' Taeyang nodded, agreeing with the younger Vampire.
''Well, that still doesn't excuse the ones that did attack.''GD replied.
"Well, what do you want to do?" Seungri questioned, his clubbed tail swishing slowly behind him.
"We should wait until Taemin and Chanyeol arrives." Taeyang cheerfully replied. "They can tell us more."
"Taemin should have already been here." GD looked the empty desk in the front row, beside Kayori, that was marked by a silver name badge that read 'SHINee. ''That's what I'm concerned about.''
...
Meanwhile outside of the chambers.
"You look nervous." Jimin smiled at Devin, who was sweating and tapping his fingers on the chair.
"Fuck yeah I am. " Devin huffed. "What if they kill her?"
"Kill her?" Jimin laughed heartily. He wiped the tears from his eyes and then cleared his throat.
"They're not going to kill her. They'd kill you before they killed her." Jimin smirked , his fangs protruding over his bottom teeth.
"Jimin, hush , don't scare him. "Seokjin said , walking up to the duo. "Go to the others, I'll sit with Devin."
"Fine. "Jimin pouted. Standing up , he waved to Jin and then winked to Devin before seeming to disappear into thin air.
"I'm so sorry about him."Jin smiled apologetically. "He's not usually like that. "
