The Prophet - Kihyuk

Chapter 17

Minhyuk POV 

I don't like it at all, but Hyungwon's right, he just cancelled my death sentence, so I am in no place to argue right now. That's why I whisper in his ear "hurry back and don't do anything stupid," I feel him smile as I brush a kiss to his cheek before he is gone, only a speck on the horizon as I watch him until I am no longer able to see him. 

I feel a hand on my shoulder before I hear Taehyung say. "He will be fine Minhyuk, you worry too much", I turned to him, "your right Taehyung, there is nothing to worry about, right?" I convince myself more than him as I walk back to my room. So much damn better than a wooden bed I think as I let myself drift under the comforting embrace of sleep.

Hyungwon POV 

When no one is watching, I release the breath I have been holding the past few weeks, thank you Minhyuk, for controlling your powers, for returning, for not leaving me to fight for this throne on my own. I cannot show it, but all you need to know is that I love you from afar, and always will.

Jooheon POV

'When will he arrive?' 'Anytime soon sir, shall I prepare Wonho and explain the plan of action?' I thought for a second, 'yes, send Wonho, and tell him that now we know who the profit is if used in the right ways Kihyun could be very useful.' I shooed the messenger away with a flick of my wrist, sometimes their pleading cowardness revolts me, but after news of this plan. I am feeling somewhat alive; this is going to be much easier than I anticipated, the best part is. They will never see it coming.

Jungkook POV

When I returned to the kingdom of Sani it was empty. That's weird, everyone should already be back from that blood ceremony unless Baekhyun has decided to prepare a plan with the fae? I mean, it is possible. One thought kept creeping through my mind though whenever I tried to clear my head to figure out where the other shifters were. Was Taehyung ever going to come back to get me, he broke his promise, he lied to me. 

Will I ever be able to trust him again. 

I growled and kicked at a stone on the ground. As I rubbed my sore butt, because I had kicked the ground instead and it sent me flying, I debated how much use I could actually be to them. I mean, they just left me in Jooheon's palace to be tortured or killed, it doesn't exactly say much about the amount they need me if I'm being honest. 

"Hey, Jungkook", I know that voice from anywhere and before I knew it my legs were running towards Isla, a big bunny smile plastered onto my face. 

She was in my arms and I twirled her around dramatically, a, because I really missed her, b, because she smells really nice and c, well, because in movies it looks cool, and I'm cool, so, yeah. "I missed you so much Isla, I have so much to tell you, but before I do, I really need to know something", I gently placed her down and became serious in an instance, "sure Jungkook, anything" she smiled her gorgeous eye smile that just brightens the whole sky and lights up the wor...jeez Jungkook, too much, yeh, definitely too much. 

"Where is Baekhyun, Elena and Kihyun......oh yeh, and Aelin", I added quickly. She looked at me confused, "they are at the fae court with the prophet, I think they are coming up with a plan now that they know who the prophet is, but I thought you were with them after you retrieved Luciarnous?" I felt my eyes well up as I looked towards the ground, "it's a long story", I sniffed, damn it Jungkook, why are your hormones so emotionally unstable all the damn time. 

Gently Isla placed a finger under my chin and lifted my face, so I was looking into her shining eyes, wow I really need to stop that, and said "I have all the time in the world for you." 

So, I explained everything, including the part about my escape which was surprisingly aided by Sunggyu, by the end of the story I received a heart-wrenching hug from her as the tears streaked down my face, then It clicked, they need to know, they need to know where Sunggyu's head is, how he helped me, and that with the right motivation he could be swayed to join our side of the war. It doesn't matter if they lied, or how many promises Taehyung broke, I am loyal, and that's enough for me. So, with a heavy heart, I left Isla's warm embrace, traveling towards the fae court to report back to my leader Baekhyun.
