Eternity

Chapter 3:

Taehyung(POV):

I stare off into space as the door closes behind the alpha, who had just given me one of my daily beatings. The new cuts and bruises sting as the fresh blood drips onto the floor. The door quietly creaks open to reveal my brother. Once he sees me he starts to cry.

"I'm so sorry Tae. I'm so sorry," He walks over to me and cups my beaten face, "Don't worry, I'm gonna get you out of here. We're finally going to leave this retched pack. I won't let anyone hurt you anymore."

I just stare at him emotionless. He pulls out a pair of rusty keys and unbuckles my chains. Then he picks me up and quickly carries me out of the cell. I just stay still, hiding my face in his chest, not caring where he is taking me. I feel empty and broken, I can't feel anything anymore. I don't want to feel anything anymore. I just want to be left alone. To be free to die in peace. Why couldn't Jin just leave me in that cell? By the time my next beating came around, I would have probably been dead, and I wouldn't have to live through this anymore. Please, just let me die. I have no hope anymore.

Then a bright light hits my face and a gentle breeze flows across me. My body tingles at the foreign sensation. I look up from my position to see something I'd never thought I would see again; the sun. I'm outside. For the first time in four years I'm outside. A feeling of peace washes over me as I close my eyes and listen to the gentle sounds of nature as Jin carries me away from hell.  And sure enough,  I'm lulled asleep.

Jungkook(POV):

The smell of wet soil and morning dew fills my nose as I walk aimlessly. I don't know where I'm going. I just know that I have to get away for a little while. By now I've probably been walking for at least an hour; the smell of my pack still faintly tingles my senses. I keep going trying to calm myself down from the anger and sadness I"m feeling; my father's words still ringing in my head. He has to be wrong. The thought of never finding my mate kills me inside. But I know that they are still out there because of the little heartbeat I feel besides mine; proof that my mate is still alive. Although at times I can feel it that little heartbeat start to slow and dim, just like it did a couple hours earlier, and it scares me. The thought of my one and only hurt to the point of almost dying terrifies me and fills me with rage to the point that I'm shaking.

 I start to run to try and ease the weight I feel in my chest. I can feel my lungs begging for me to stop. They constrict and stutter as they try to keep up with my movements. My eyes start to water hindering my ability to see. So much that I don't see the branch on the ground, causing me to trip and tumble across the forest floor. My heart beats a mile a minute while the one besides mine beats rhythmically slow. I pull my knees up to my chest and the tears I were holding in, begin to fall down my face and onto the ground as I hide my face in my arms. 

After what seems like hours even though its only been minutes, my breathing calms and my arms relax. I pick myself up off of the ground and start to head back home. I take a deep breath relax myself one more time and what I sense catches me off guard. The most intoxicating, beautiful thing I have ever smelled in my life. 

"MINE," my wolf purrs. That can only mean one thing. My mate is near. The love of my life is close to me.  I quickly start chasing the direction of the scent; going even faster than before. Almost running desperately until I reach the edge of a packs territory.  My eyes widen in surprise. This is the Gilded Rose Pack. My mate lives here? Or.. well... lived based on how fresh the scent is.  Wariness seeps into my veins. If they really did live here then I think I have a pretty good assumption as to why that little heartbeat slowed down from time to time. 

"Don't worry moonlove. I'll find you. But first I have to do a little investigating." I continue to follow their scent until I reach an old, rusted door with chains on it behind the pack alpha's house. Or at least the chains were on it; they now laid broken on the ground. I lightly sniff the area and discover two prominent scents a couple of hours old; my mate's and another omega's that smelled slightly like my moonlove. Probably someone he is related to. I can only hope that this omega saved my mate, but as of right now I need to see the damage this deplorable pack has done. I open the door and slowly make my way down the creaking, wooden stairs. As I look around I come to the realization that this is the dungeon. I take agonizingly slow steps until I reach a cell that has my mate's scent all over it. That's not the only thing that the area is covered in though. Blood. Blood is everywhere on every surface imaginable and every bit of it was his. I whimper in realization. I fall to my knees and gently pick up the chains lying on the cold ground and clutch them to my chest.

"I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry I didn't get here sooner!" I cry out in agony. I take a deep breath of that vanilla-coconut scent once more and start to calm. Only this time the calm doesn't stay and is replaced by pure, uncontrolled fury; my blood lust rising with every beat of my heart. 

"THEY WILL PAY!"my wolf's voice thunders in my head.

"Yes they will. Very painfully just like the pain they inflicted on my mate." I say as I get up from my position and quickly walk out into the middle of their pack grounds. I stand there until a big enough crowd has noticed my presence. Soon after that the enforcers showed up.

"Who are you and what do you want?," a particularly ugly one says defensively while taking an attack stance.

"Oh you don't need to know my name. The only thing I want is your alpha."

"Why," he asks confused.

"That's my business to know and not yours."

"Then I apologize, but I can let you pass then. Who knows what you'll do," he says with a menacing snarl on his face, "Guards, surround him!"

I roll my eyes at his behavior as 10 enforcers surround me.

"Right. Let's get this over with. Come at me then. I could use a warm-up." I say while cracking my knuckles.

"Oh I'll show you more than a warm-up.This will be your final resting place, mutt."

I smirk inwardly as my face remains stoic.

"Are you just going to stand there or..."

He then runs at me with a deafening war cry and signals the rest of his little squad to attack.

"This is gonna be fun." I say as I stand there waiting for them.

------Time Skip--------

All eleven enforcers lay at my feet unconscious. I turn around and face the crowd that had backed several feet away from me during the fight.

"Bring me your Alpha!" I say darkly. Just then a figure emerges through the crowd and walks towards me.

"The alpha isn't here right, so I'm afraid you'll have to suffice for me," he looks down at the enforcers, "Job well done with them. They were far too unruly for my liking anyways."

"I didn't kill them. They're just unconscious." I say while sniffing out his rank. Beta. This must be the Alpha's right hand.

"Well that's disappointing. People just keep disappointing me today. First with that pathetic excuse of a wolf and now this," He says while scowling. I stiffen at his statement. I take a deeper whiff of his stench and detect something I hadn't before. This man. This putrid man has his scent on him. My eyes start to burn and the beta gasps.

"You're a true-blood alpha!" he says as he pales considerably, knowing that his strength is far beneath mine.

"Yes I am. And you made a grave mistake putting your filthy hands on my mate."

His eyes widen slightly and a slight glint appears in them. "That slut is yours. Wow, who would've thought that thing actually had someone out there for him. It's a shame he's not pure though. You don't get to enjoy that sweet little omega's body fresh. Mhmm, just the thought of it makes me ..." he licks his lips and my control snaps. In less than a second I'm in front of him, staring at him enraged with my fangs elongated.

"You fucking bastard!"

I grab his throat and throw him to the ground. Before he can react I plunge my claws into his chest and rip his heart out.

"I wish I could have tortured you to the brink of death over and over again until you begged for it, but I more important matters to attend to" I say to the now dead body beneath me and then stand up and begin to walk away without looking at the crowd.

"Tell your alpha someone's coming for him and that his time in this world is ending very soon."

I walk back to the back door of the dungeon and begin to follow the two scents I had found earlier. North, where my pack lives. Well... that makes this easier.

"I'll see you soon moonlove."
