LOVE MAZE | VKOOK

➴ nineteen.

Taehyung woke up, feeling a sting around his neck. He then felt like draining, all his strength being kept hidden by what's around his neck.

The last thing he remembered was being shoved out by Jeongguk, before darkness consumed him. He whimpered lowly and felt his hands being chained.

"You're finally awake,"

"Y-You-M-Mina.." Taehyung squeaked, eyes widened as he saw a familiar face of a woman. Whom he remembered to be the witch. "Why are you doing this to me?"

She hummed. "A little..background story first, wanna hear it?" She laughed. "You see, I've been waiting for your coming eversince I felt your presence on our way to our pack. And luck was really on my palms when your brother came to me, begging to take away the rejection pain. Poor you, omega. Rejected by his mate."

"But I..have a different plan," She grinned. "I have planned everything. And you see.. they all rightfully happened, that lead us to this very moment. Where you, will be bowing before me."

"I'll never bow down to you." Taehyung snarled, moving his hands from the chains as he tried to communicate with the nature. The witch laughed.

"You better obey me, omega. Your powers? Sorry. You can't feel them now." She smirked and lean down. "'But you still can give me what I want. You just have to..sing."

"No." Taehyung resisted, knowing very well what does the witch wanted to happen. The witch slapped his face, eyes wide in frustration.

"You fucking omega. You don't say no to me. Do you know who I am? I'm the fucking Luna of Blood Creed! I am above you! And you! Will obey me!" She spoke. And Taehyung's eyes widened. She's..the Luna who's Daniel keeps on mentioning? She slowly kneeled down, soft hands carresing Taehyung's face. He looked at her blankly as hot tears brimmed at her eyes. "You just have to sing, Taehyung. Sing. Sing the song that gives life to a dead. That's all you have to do. Just..sing.."

He shook his head. "You don't know what you're asking. I can't do that."

"Oh you can. And you will." She spoke softly, fingers grazing over his skin. "What if I tell you, that your most loved pack is now..falling into mere ashes?"

"W-what?" Taehyung cried and shook his head. "N-no! No, you're lying! N-namjoonie won't let that!"

"Oh, really?" The witch laughed, pulling a mirror and pushed it towards Taehyung. His eyes widened and tears pooled around his eyes, as the mirror showed him the current state of his pack. Pups were crying as the men in his pack tried to fetch waters and save some of their valuables from their burning houses. And then he saw his brother, commanding and assisting people as much as he can, as Seokjin protects the pups, silently crying as he watch how the community they built turned into mere ashes.

Taehyung cried as he watch, his eyes igniting the color of gold from rage and despair. His wolf howls in distress. Mina smiled viciously. Oh, how she loves it when Taehyung fights his power.

The witch softly carressed his face and brushed his hair, bringing him into her arms as she hummed gently. "I know, Taehyung. I know, it hurts. They don't deserve it, do they?" She sighes and looked at Taehyung. "Just like my mate, Taehyung. He doesn't deserve to die too early. And too easily. We didn't even got to have that family that we were planning to have. But Taehyung, I found you."

Taehyung looked up to her and found tears in her eyes. He looked at her with his empty and broken eyes. "In you, Taehyung, I found..hope. I'll get my mate back, we will have a family and we will be finally happy. All you have to do..is to sing.."

"Sing?"

Mina nodded. "Yes. Just sing. Just bring back my mate. And everything will be alright again. Your pack, I can bring back whatever happened. They will wake up tomorrow into their rightful homes, all peaceful. Like nothing happened. If you would just..bring my mate back." She softly whispered, lulling the terrified, confused and hurt omega. He was not even on his right mind when he nodded and asked for Mina's mate. A smirk crawled up on her lips and soon, she brought Taehyung down in a basement, where her mate lay there lifeless, still fresh and young looking.

Mina took off the wolfsbane in his neck. Immediately, he gained his strength back. His eyes turned gold as he stare towards the man.

"Go on, Taehyung. Sing.."

"Oh, my Goddess Moon,
Hear the plea of mine soon.
Kiss thy soul, most devine.
Let your power shine.
Open the door, don't be shaken.
Let the dead, be awaken.
This is the song of my plea
Take the soul with me,
And set it free."

As the corpse opened his eyes, darkness consumed Taehyung's eyes, feeling the witch whisper incoherant words in his ears. Every word sends him into edge, reaching the deepest parts of his mind.

And as soon as he opened his eyes, he only knows one thing.

"My Luna."

Mina smiled evilly, as the so called Phoenix, Queen of the Wolves, bow his head to her.
