brokenly beautiful 𐤀ᵏᵛ

chapter twenty-eight

Taehyung had expected a lot of things when he accepted Siyeon's challenge.

But standing to the side as he watched pack members fill the clearing, waiting for a fight, was not what he had in mind.

He nervously shuffled on his feet as excited murmurs and whispers erupted from the big crowd. It was an incredibly big audience.

Who was he kidding?

When news broke out that their former Luna was going to be fighting a vampire to get Jungkook back, everyone had been excitedly waiting for the moment.

And of course, they had bet that their former Luna would win this battle, hands down.

Taehyung looked up, spotting Siyeon smirking lightly as she cracked her knuckles. Her emerald-green eyes were burning with determination, and she showed a somewhat smug expression as she caught sight of the vampire.

Taehyung instantly turned away, mumbling profanities under his breath.

"Who the fuck am i kidding? I'm never going to beat her." Taehyung muttered, hands fumbling with each other as he tried not to pull his hair in exasperation.

"You should have thought of that before you accepted her challenge, you moron." V whispered in the back of his head.

"Oh, that's such a supportive statement. Why don't you make yourself useful and actually help me later on in the fight?" Taehyung shot back, earning a huff from the other.

"In all, i'll try. Besides, if you die, i die too. But i'm not all that powerful like the rest of the vampires. I wasn't born that way." V scoffs, a hint of sadness in his tone.

"Hey, it's fine. Let's do this together. Besides, we're doing this for Jungkook. Our mate. I'm not letting some old one take him away from me." Taehyung muttered, staring back at the smug red-head across the clearing.

V smirked. "Oh, we'll take care of her. Let's do this, Taehyung."

One of Taehyung's irises burned a blood red, showing that V had control over his body too.

Before the battle started, Taehyung made out Jungkook on the frontline of the audience, seemingly closing his eyes in pent up pain.

Taehyung frowned, knowing fully well that his wolf was fighting with his human to be let out. To run to his mate.

But since Taehyung and Jungkook's wold haven't really formed a bond, Taehyung knew that his wolf wanted to run over to Siyeon, whom of which had formed a bond with Jungkook's wolf for over decades when they were together.

A mere vampire claiming to be another mate wasn't going to break the strong bond the wolf and Siyeon had.

And Taehyung could tell Siyeon knew that as she smirked smugly at the vampire, who narrowed his eyes.

The host of the fight stepped on a big rock, looking over at Siyeon and Taehyung as he began talking.

"The rules are simple." He began, a smirk appearing on his face as he shot a glance at his former Luna, making Taehyung roll his eyes.

Of course he was picking his Luna's side. Who would side with a vampire anyways?

The werewolf host silenced the audience.

"It's either kill..." He spoke slowly, before turning towards Taehyung and sneering in disgust. "Or be killed."

A loud shrill bell sounded over them, signalling that the fight was now in operation.
