Chapter 108: Chapter 108

CHAPTER FIFTY

The next morning came, and Yoongi has his chest rose up and down as soon as he finished wearing his clothes. He approached the lady who was facing him with her back before tapping her shoulders.

"Elisse..." Yoongi called out as Elisse turned around with a smile on her face. "What are you doing here all of a sudden?"

"I just wanted to ask something." She smiled tenderly, and Yoongi nodded in response. "How is she? Is she handling well?"

"Ha Na is doing fine so far." Yoongi confirmed, nodding his head. "Are you doing well? You're not having a hard time as a caretaker in the prison cell, right?"

"I'm fine with my job, beside I've been healing well."

FLASHBACK

Yoongi ran towards the palace in hope to take a glance of Ha Na who was captured in the palace. He has been healing with the help of Caroline, the Tía of the Pack he was in.

After he heard the news about Ha Na being the future Queen of Vampires, he went numb and limp. He didn't want his beloved to suffer yet he was the cause of everything—he costed Ha Na's life.

He went crying for days, and at the same time, healing himself in order to sneak inside the palace just to see Ha Na. But what he was greeted by was the presence of Elisse right in front of him—crossed arms and frowned expression.

"I know you and Ha Na were in a relationship." She said raising her eyebrows, watching as Yoongi straightened his posture. "That’s why I didn't approve in the first place."

Elisse came to accept Yoongi being part if Ha Na's life since she couldn't do anything about their love life.

After their talk, Yoongi witnessed everything. He witnessed how Jimin sucked the life out of her, and how Namjoon brutally killed her. And with that, he was frozen the entire time.

As soon as the news died down, he sneaked inside Elisse's bedroom to see that she was laid there on the bed looking lifeless. He was too late or so he thought.

"What's that?" A guard stopped behind the door causing Yoongi to stop his tracks and stiffened. "Can you smell the scent?"

"Shit—" Yoongi muttered his breath, panicking and accidentally sliding his long nails, cutting it deep in her flesh as it started dripping out fresh blood.

"What—" Yoongi let out an inaudible gasped when the smell of blood invaded his nose, eyes snapped at the wound before he breaths out. "She's still alive?"

Because there's no way a vampire corpse that has reacted to her death could still produce this much blood.

"Idiot!" Another guard hissed, whispering yet could be heard from Yoongi's position. "Remember that we are in Young Lady's bedroom. She's in there, and she just died so of course her scent is surrounding the bedroom!"

"I forgot." The guard chuckled. "But isn't that's so cruel to Duke Kim?"

The guard voice's cracked, and groaned making Yoongi furrowed his eyebrows. "Won't he be at his soulmate's funeral?"

The other guard sneered, and the beta continue to eavesdrop the guards outside the room. "He can't handle to see his mate off but he will surely hold a funeral for his mate."

With what Yoongi heard, he ended up not stealing Elisse's corpse, and aborting the mission. He just waited for the right time, and that time happened to be after Elisse's funeral where she was buried immediately under six feet ground in a fancy built house.

The beta waited for his chance to get all people present to disappear before he took the chance to dig up the ground in hope for Elisse to still be alive.

END OF FLASHBACK

"Do you want to go to the wolf territory with me?" The beta offered, rubbing the back of his neck. "Besides the wolf and vampire races are reunited already. I'm pretty sure Ha Na would be happy to see you despite losing her memories."

"Of course." She never hesitated to answer. Yes, she's there, standing so healthy and that was the reason why Namjoon never lost his powers nor got it decrease.

It was because his soulmate was alive all along.

Ha Na couldn't sleep the entire night with that pool roaming inside her stomach. She couldn't stop thinking about what Jungkook told her especially when they planned to sneak inside the palace in two days.

She stood straight, facing the night sky of the usual meeting place she and Taehyung usually go before. She found out that Taehyung haven't been visiting this place as much as before ever since she started avoiding him.

She remembered—she remembered Taehyung's words when she went in this place an hour late instead of their meeting time.

'Don't ever make me worry again.' He said at lot of comforting words that time, he was mad that she was late but somehow, she found it cure and she loves it. She loves how he found the right words that would make her heart beat wildly in every single way.

"Luna?" A familiar voice gasped from behind and she turned around to look at Taehyung causing her eyes to widened. Why does Taehyung always appear at the same time as her?

"What are you doing here?"

Taehyung found its lip to form a smile as he stared and connected his eyes with his beloved. He was happy—beyond happy to be exact to know that after weeks of not seeing her, he finally did.

He was overwhelmed with tears now falling down his cheeks. His voice cracked is despair and happiness, not wavering his gaze. "Did you forget already?"

"Just—"

"Remember what I told you before right at this place?" His lips quiver, eyes moistened and sparkled in hope as he took a step forward, slowly approaching her.

A single tear squeezed out of his wild eyes. He started chewing on his bottom lip, eyes welled up with tears and his face turned red.

"I asked you..." He paused, facing her as his hands raised to caress her cheeks, and Ha Na's eyes started to sting as well. "I asked you to don't ever make me worry."

She pursed her lips as his sweet words echoed her ears. The desperate and pleading tone was there."I asked you to never make me endure being without you again."

Her chin trembled and her eyes flickered, watching the man in her life looking fragile that she wanted to hug him. She wondered, how could this man whom everyone thought as the strongest and monstrous man in history could be so weak in front of a lady?

But the questions she wanted to ask to herself the most was that—

How is it that I've fallen for you? She asked herself, wondering if Taehyung could hear her but she remembered about him telling her he couldn't read her thoughts.

"What is it that troubles you?" He cupped her cheeks in a gentle way as their eyes locked again. "Can't you just stay with me?"

Ha Na could feel his sincerity, his love and his words causing her salty water to drop down. Her lips trembled as she cried. "May I—"

She choked on her sobs, finally admitting her true feelings. "M-May I do so, Your Majesty?"

Taehyung burst out in tears, bleeding the salt of his soul. He was taken a back by her unexpected answer but apart of him was happy. "What?"

She nodded, pressing her lips together before smiling at him, and hands on his cheeks as well. "That is what I truly want."

Those words caused Taehyung's heart to jump out of his chest. His hands grasped to her hands that was on his cheeks and feeling the warmth that radiated on his cold flesh.

"Will you allow me to stay by your side and be with you for the rest of my life, Your Majesty?" The familiar yet lovely voice of her was all he could hear, and her existence was all he could see.

"I want to accept your heart," She added, genuine and truthful smile turning wide. "And I want to give you mine in return."

There was no returning back—no denying of her feelings, and no denying of what she truly felt towards the man. She felt the way the man kissed her palm as he draws circular motion on it with his thumb.

"May I, your majesty?" A beautiful smile was what it all takes for Taehyung to completely be lured by the woman. The two smiled with ever so beautiful one as eyes filled with brim of tears.

And Hanisha saw it.

She saw how Taehyung smiled at her, and how her sister looked at him with so much love. They saw each other with adoration, compared to what Taehyung looked at her. He may have mistaken her as Ha Na, but surely, there was some boundary between the two.

The look was still different from the way Taehyung looked at her a thousand years ago when he claimed her as his.

Her heart swells up as she stared at the two who was embracing each other. "That was the smile he never even showed to me."

She stared with no emotions before turning around but took a glimpse at the two again to see that Taehyung was smiling with pure happiness.

"What could be in his mind that he could smile like that?" She pursed her lips into straight line, and turned her back as a hot salty water filling up her eyes.

If only she could do that with Jimin, how happy could she be right now?

"I guess I really can't change destiny." She put on a sad smile, heart aching and longing for her true mate.
