Second Mate

30

"You shouldn't be here, my Master." 

The man turned his head. "I come whenever I want." He sounded piss.

"I'm sorry,  my Master. I didn't mean anything. I just worry about you. You are still weak. You should rest in your room, my Master." The woman said while bowing her head. Feeling a little bit scared that she had intimidated her master.

The man huffed and let Yaejin's chin go before standing up and walked to the door. 

"Prepare the food for my precious and tomorrow I want her to stay in a proper room and wear proper cloth. No objection." He said before he left.

The woman let out her breath and snorted. She made her way to Yaejin and sat down on kneel in front of her. Yaejin felt her face harshly grabbed.

"You shouldn't suppose to be here. You ruined my plan. You and your stupid sister should be killed. That way I can have Master alone." She hissed, tightening her grip. Her sharp nail pierced in Yaejin's face and Yaejin could feel blood slowly flew out from the grip.

The woman grinned satisfied before her hand being slapped away. Yaejin fell on the ground from the impact. She groaned as her body fell on the floor.

"Master won't be pleased if he saw this, don't you, Layla?" Another voice was heard.

"Tsk. Being a savior now, don't you?"

"I am not. I just follow Master's order. You know the consequences if you disobey your master Layla."

The woman huffed before getting up and looked at the other with a dissatisfied face.

"Don't you think I didn't know what you did before. You too disobey our Master."

"Do you have the proof, Layla?"

"No, I don't but I-"

"Then you can't accuse me something that didn't have a proof. Meanwhile, you too did something behind Master's back and actually I do have the proof. Do you want me to show it to Master?" 

The woman growled dissatisfied. "I hate you. Both of you should die."

The other woman smirked. "I dare you to kill me and let see what will Master do with you."  

"Tsk." The woman named Layla started to walk away.

"Layla, don't forget Master's order. Prepare the food and cloth."

"I'm not taking order from you."

"I'm not the one who's giving it. You just heard that from Master. Or are you really want to disobey him?"

"You just wait, Yeoni. I hope you die next time I see you." She then walked slamming the metal door behind so loud.

Yaejin quickly looked at the woman who left with her after she heard the name 'Yeoni' was said. Both of them stared at each other before Yeoni crossed her arms while she maintained her stance.

"You are wishing for your death by being here."

"Y-You are Yoeni?"

"If you think that I saved you just now then you are wrong. Like I said, I just followed my Master's order. I don't really care you're alive or not." She said without answering Yaejin.

"B-but mom-"

"I don't care with her or anything you want to say."

"But what about Jeongguk?"

Yeoni raised her brow. "What about him?" Her calm voice somehow irritated Yaejin's inner side. Though she should be jealous because it was her mate they're talking about but the way Yeoni said like he didn't matter to her at all.

"Why did you broke the mate bond? Jeongguk was heartbroken. He's searching for you all this time."

Yeoni slightly smirked. "Did he? Didn't he mate with you now? So, he's already forgotten about me."

"Haven't you care about him? He was your mate."

"Listen here, princess. Whatever happened between me and that mate of yours is my personal matter. You don't need to put your nose in it. You should worry about yourself now. The Blue Moon Day is on next three days and you are no longer mated with your beloved mate. You are going to be my Master's mate."

"You can't do this. I've already mated."

"Yet, we can break those bond. Like I did."

"But why? For what reason?"

"You don't need to know the reason, princess. Just stay still and prepare yourself to be the Master's mate."

"I will not. Jeongguk will find me."

Yeoni's laughed. "He can't find you. I put the barrier already. And if, he succeed it will be too late then. You will be someone's else mate leaving him to be unmated again. Who knows, he might die this time."

Yaejin gasped in horror. No, it couldn't be. Jeongguk cannot die. She cannot be mated to someone else. 

Yeoni saw her expression and smirked.

"Let's pray for your mate so that he can come quickly and save you. Or else, the prophecy will be broken and invalid anymore. My Master will rule the world as he wish." 

She then left laughing while Yaejin screamed and trying to release herself even though all her did was worthless.
