LOVE MAZE | VKOOK

➴ twenty-two.

The warriors shifted into their wolf form while the other with immense strength in their human form, rides onto them.

Jeongguk was the last one to shift, gritting his canines, preparing to wreak havoc just to save his mate.

They hide in the bushes, tall grasses and even on the trees, waiting for the Blood Creed.

Namjoon was on a tree branch, eyes were watching the shadows of wolves running in a distant. He looked down, signalling Hoseok and Yoongi to prepare the warriors as they all stood lower, preparing to pounce.

Howlings soon came.

The Blood Creed is now aware of their presence. The reek of their packs and wolf's scent basking in the air. They stopped in their tracks, Mina howled in anger.

"Present yourselves!" Mina growled, her limbs prepared to advance. Her eyes got wide when Jeoun showed himself. "What is the meaning of this, Jeoun?"

"Stop right there, witch. Or you'll regret it." Jeoun spoke calmly.

"Or I'll regret it? I'm so scared, Jeoun." Mina trails. "You're a traitor."

"And you're a lunatic." Jeoun spits. "You think you can win against Moon Blaze and Dark Hound with the rogues of yours? Think again, witch."

"Have you forgotten I have the Phoenix?" Mina smirked to herself. Namjoon clenched his jaw at the mention of his brother, itching to claw at anyone who would harm Taehyung.

"The Phoenix will be awaken, witch. And when that happens, he will put hell into your lives." Jeoun spoke. "Now, if you don't wish for your pack to be slaughtered, stop the madness and hand over my son's mate."

"You think too much of yourself if you think you can win against me, Jeoun. Your pack will never win against mine! Against me, against my mate," Mina smiled viciously. "And against the queen of the wolves."

"They're not stopping," Hoseok gritted his teeth, advancing as the Blood Moon started to run.

"Neither do we." Jeongguk answered, jumping onto his feet to claw and bite onto the wolf that pounce at him.

Hell broke when Jeoun howled, finally marking the start of the war. He viciously stand on the ground and gritted his canines, running towards the field to help his pack.

"Daniel, go further in the woods! They're hiding Taehyung," Namjoon commanded. The wolf took his run, hiding behind the trees to find Taehyung. "Jeongguk, be careful."

"Trust me, Alpha Namjoon." Guk links, advancing at any wolf that comes in his way, ending their lives with his speed of riping their necks.

"They're fucking annoying!" Yoongi snarled, rolling when a wolf jumped onto him, only to be stabbed by Yoongi's sword.

"Aren't they funny? They know nothing about fighting. Just a bunch of stupid savages," Hoseok spoke, effortlessly sinking his sword onto a wolf. "See?"

"Fuck, I just wanna fucking sleep." Yoongi growled, jumping onto Hoseok who held him to perfectly kill two wolves at the same time. "But instead of sleeping with my mate, I have to fight these dumb wolves."

"And they say, being a warrior is great," Hoseok chuckled, growling as he jumped at a wolf to ran his sword in his neck.

Mina looked into the field, gritting her teeth as almost half of her pack were already dead. "Useless beings," she whispered. Nonetheless, she smiled. "Oh, I'll let you have your fun for now, Namjoon. Before I wake your lovely brother."

She looked back, smiling wickedly onto the cage, where Taehyung was peacefully sleeping, deep in wolfsbane and black magic.

Her eyes trailed to her mate and looked away. Minho was in a deep sleep, under a spell that she caused.

She has no any choice. Her mate gets in the way.

She snarled. This for him! To avenge what they did to him, can't he understand what I'm doing?

Back to the field, the two packs were doing great at slaughtering the wolves of Mina's pack. Not going to lie, eventhough they're much weaker, they're great in numbers.

Namjoon has no mercy, going on a killing spree with only one person in his mind; his brother. The thought of Mina using his brother for her revenge makes him see red, he couldn't help but to pour all his anger in them.

Jimin is indeed right. No matter how calm and wise Namjoon is, when it's about his loved ones, he can be dangerous like a monster.

"Alpha, Daniel is seeing a number of werewolves in the West side of the forest," Jimin said as he successfully links with him. "He said, there is a cage. He couldn't see who is inside but he's sure it's Taehyung,"

"They did what to my mate?" Jeongguk growled, his pheromones flaring up in anger. All he wanted to do at this moment is to find Taehyung and save him, but he knew he had to stick with the plan.

"The right moment will come, son." Jeoun reminds him.

"I know father," Jeongguk responds, growling once again as he run and pounce at everyone. If it wasn't because of his fur being black, it'll be obvious that he's bathing in blood now. What's surprising is none of it was his.

Suddenly, the air thickens, cold wind blowing from the mountains surrounding them, leaves erratically falling from the trees.

The bright night sky turned even darker, when clouds started to block the moon from above.

Something isn't right.

"Ah, the Phoenix has awaken," an elder healer from behind spoke, her eyes turning some kind of white as she look up. "And he's not happy."

With that, everyone falls silent. Jeongguk couldn't fathom what's happening, but his questions are answered when a white, beautiful wolf came out of the tall trees.

It's Taehyung. He would never forget the most beautiful wolf he had ever seen. Although now, he's standing with authority and pride. He's not just a mere omega, he is the promised queen of the wolves.

But then Mina came out behind him, smirking darkly, lips moving in soft whisper, like she's saying some kind of encantation.

It was blurry how everything happened. But one thing he knows, after the magnificent howl of the white wolf,

He was thirsty for a kill.
