Coveted

Taehyung

     I wait patiently in the shadows from behind the compound. The beach waves and wind masking my every little movement if there happens to be any. I can hear everything going on around me.
       Namjoon is weak. He's stupid. He's a coward. I'm not afraid to get shit done with or without him. Fucking pussy.
I wait a bit longer before the guard—whose footsteps I've been counting—rounds the corner and I quickly whip around and elbow him in the throat—immediately dislodging his windpipe.
       He struggles to breathe or make a sound as I grab him, hauling him over the cliff face feet from the entrance of the compound. The very same cliff Namjoon and I plummeted from barely a few hours ago. He left to pacify his mate. I came back here.
        He can't scream as he falls. The ocean silencing him completely. I made sure to spill enough blood to attract the sharks. There are five more guards around the area before making it into the main council chambers.
       I plan to be there in a few minutes. I plan to meet with the council on behalf of my awful law breaking mafia hyung. I'm going to be overly distraught and very informative when I tell them where the bodies of their former council members reside—curtesy of crazy Kim Namjoon.
       It's quite perfect. I turn him in and while they put out a hunt for him—I'll get rid of them one by one. I'll take over the council and no one be the wiser. I'll have Jin by my side. Hybrid alongside halfbreed. Carrying my heir. What a future.
       Everyone will worship me and my mate. Then they will worship our child. I'll turn our bloodline from a weak ridiculous excuse of power to the most feared and coveted family of all time. I may or may not allow Namjoon and Yoongi to live as my slaves. Perhaps they can join us...if only they'd see my vision. And accept it.
       I'd even spare their mates. It'd be really annoying to have a hateful sobbing mate resent me because I killed his little brother and nephew. I suppose they must stay. They really aren't worth the effort anyway.
I move throughout the compound—alone this time. Killing every guard effectively with my full strength and power. I had to pretend to be normal the other time around.
I whistle a little tune of happiness as I open the heavy doors to the chamber, expecting nothing really. Instead, as soon as the doors open, I'm faced with an angry group of ancient vampires. Their bright glowing eyes glued to me with contempt and aggressive arrogance.
Frowning, I notice movement and tense up. What the fuck...I wait for someone to tell me what the fuck is going on as I glare at my somber and terrified looking mate.
Jin sits on the floor behind the main leader of the council. His shoulders shaking and hiding his face from me. There are only two reasons he could be here right now.
Betrayal from family.
Or betrayal from my mate.
I'm leaning towards Jin betraying me because the lack of Namjoon. He'd be here to gloat if he did it.
"Kim Taehyung, second in command of the second most powerful vampire family—you've been accused of committing several counts of murder to your fellow vampires. You've also broken our highest law—mating a hybrid."
I stand tall and refuse to blink. To breathe. I stand perfectly still and wait.
"What have you to say for yourself? You know the rules. You will not be leaving this chamber until you are properly punished accordingly." The main leader, Suho, growls. His piercing eyes burrowing into my very black soul.
I glare at my mate while he avoids my gaze. He did this. I was going to make a future for us, for him. I was going to make everything fucking perfect and what does he do? He betrays me and for what? To die here? They will not let him leave. Ever. Stupid kitten. I shall have to punish him accordingly.
"You don't truly believe everything a stupid little resentful hybrid tells you, hm? He's just angry because I use him as is proper of his standing beneath me. He wants more and I've rejected him. You choose his word over mine, a member of the Kim Family?" I ask charmingly. My voice deceptively calm and amused. Unbothered.
There is a rumble though the crowd and Suho silences them. "Very well then. Our apologies for not giving you ample time to reply to such accusations. You shall extract your revenge by killing him here and now. How dare such a filthy hybrid tell such atrocious lies about an upstanding member of our world." He mocks.
I smile. "Yes. Perhaps I have not taught him to use his mouth properly. Shall we cut out his tongue?" I coo.
       Jin shudders and cowers, obviously terrified. Why the hell is he really here? Stupid feline. Always trying to test my patience.
       "We haven't all day. Get on with it then we will discuss Kim Namjoon." He sighs, sitting down in his chair. The others follow suit.
      My smile widens. "I would like a moment alone with the hybrid to punish him appropriately—privately—before I kill him."
       They seem to take a few moments to determine. "Very well. Make it quit. We must still assert these strong accusations."
        "But of course, Suho. We shall return quickly." I grab Jin's arm and pull him out of the room and earshot. I smack my hand hard on the wall beside his head as I trap him. "What in God's name are you going here? Answer me!" I demand harshly.
       He flinches, tears pouring down his cheeks. "I c-couldn't just let you get everyone killed. I sacrificed myself to come here."
       "No one knows you're here?!"
       He shakes his head. His hand falls to his stomach and I see red. "Did you..."
        He sniffles. "I am p-pregnant. I can't be with you. You're not good for us, for me. If you have to kill me then just do it otherwise..." he shakes his head, looking awful. "P-please just let me go. Let us go."
        Growling, I grab his shirt and jerk him against me, our lips brushing. "You stupid impulsive feline! Do you know what you've just done? By trying to be all noble you've ruined everything! You think by trying to turn me in to the council it will protect the others? You're fucking delusional! As soon as they deal with me—after your death, that is—they will immediately summon Namjoon and his mate. Yoongi and your precious baby brother will be on that list to follow!" I hiss.
       He sobs. "I had to try."
       Rolling my eyes, I close the distance between us and kiss him hungrily. Sucking his tongue roughly, I slip my hand under his slightly pudgier  stomach and groan. "This is mine. I own it just as much as I own you. You are mine. You can not and will never escape from me. I'm you're mate. That will never change." I drag my hand down to his pants and slip inside, fondling his limp cock before circling his wet rim.
       He whimpers, sobbing into my mouth. "T-Tae..."
       I pull back just a little and stare into his eyes. I grab a fistful of hair and jerk it. "Turning me in hasn't changed anything, my pet. I will have what I want one way or another. You are one of those things." I kiss his cheek softly. "I love you. I have never loved anything like I love you. I despise the concept of love and how it makes me feel but I can't control it. I will keep you by my side whether you want to be here or not."
       "I t-thought you were going to kill me?"
      I smile. "All part of the game, my love. Just play along and we might both survive tonight." I lean in and lick the shell of his ear, whispering. "And when we make it out...I will punish you like you've never experienced before, kitten."
        He shudders. "P-please...don't hurt our baby..."
       "Tsk, our baby will be fine. I'm not so sure about your well-being and health afterward, though. Try not to anger me any more than I already am and you might still be able to walk when I'm done."
       He nods jerkily. "Y-Yes master."
