Chapter 128: Chapter 128

CHAPTER SEVENTY

Hanisha closed her eyes, hands glowing into a different colour—more like purple this time in defence before it travelled towards Jimin's torso, clasping onto it.

Before anyone could react, the Duke was already thrown across the room causing everyone to just gasp, and eyes widened with jaw dropped. They looked back at Hanisha who had her eyes fired with silver, the glow in her hands got bigger and the ends of her hair were floating to the side.

Jimin's winced, groaning in pain and eyes bulging out as he took a glimpse of his woman. He wasn't surprised at what his soulmate did but was shocked at the scene where Taehyung was ready to lounge at Hanisha.

"No!" His wolf kicked in, turning into defensive mode as he ran back towards his mate before abruptly jumping on Taehyung causing both to stumble down. Jimin tried his best to kick his off own best friend as he straddled him down on the ground.

"How—" Taehyung let out a shaky breath, staring with disbelief eyes just by seeing his best friend who was supposed to be a vampire Duke turned into a werewolf—not just any werewolf but a rare one indeed.

Hanisha whimpered, awakening from her conscious before glancing at her side to see Taehyung below Jimin's wolf form. She watched as Taehyung rolled over, now hovering Jimin, and stood up quickly, grasping away from the wolf.

Jimin growled at his best friend, paws hitting the floor as he walked towards his mate to block Taehyung from attacking the witch. Not wasting time, he leap forward, showing his claws out and digging them deep into Taehyung's flesh on his arms causing the man to hissed in pain.

"Jimin! Stop it!" Taehyung scorned, glaring at the man—eyes turning dark red which made the wolf smirk.

Why don't you unleash the demon inside you, Kim Taehyung? The telepathy which he got from being a vampire activated.

Taehyung shook his head before his eyes flashed, exploring Hanisha's mind, and thankfully the woman couldn't hear a person's thoughts which is pretty common in witches.

That's what you did to Namjoon hyung's entire family, right? Jimin huffed, rolling his eyes. That's why he betrayed you!

Taehyung suddenly couldn't clearly hear what Jimin spat, and his hearing wasn't functioning well as of the moment that made him baffled. It demented him. Why did Jimin gain such ability to block such hearing that only one tribe could do?

Wasn't Jimin from the Human race before he was a vampire? If he hid his scent, and he is who is standing right in front, how did he even survive the vampire's bite?

There's only one solution to that.

That is Park Jimin isn't who he is.

Taehyung dodged off Jimin's scratch, hands hitting the back of his neck causing the wolf to stumble down, and let out a whimper.

"Stop it, Park Jimin!" The vampire king warned, trying his best to get away as the guards stepped in front to protect their leader.

The wolf was getting weaker—that's for sure as he slowly lounged every figure he could see in front, and killed the guards one by one just to reach out Taehyung.

"You can't control yourself at all!" Taehyung yelled, seeing as Jimin's legs feeble and body ready to dropped on the ground. But the white wolf didn't give up at all, and he continued to reach out for the vampire king who will hurt his soulmate.

"Jimin! Stop it!" Hanisha cried, watching her soulmate getting beaten by the guards, and especially Taehyung who already fell on his knees, gripping on his injure arm.

Why is Taehyung acting this way? How could the strongest vampire in history get so beaten by a small scratch? Hanisha wondered.

"You could kill him at this point!" She added, tears forming on her eyes.

This isn't supposed to be the end. She shook her head vigorously, looking around the guard as she immediately tutned her powers down and covered her face. She looked back at the two, yelled at the top of her lungs when Jimin growled the loudest and jumped, claws out to penetrate the vampire's flesh.

"Dont kill him, Jimin!"

Jimin's dark shade of brown eyes turned back to normal, smirk fell down before stopping as he fell back to the ground, gently. He turned to look at the mate, and eyes sparkled in betrayal.

Do you still love him? The wolf asked, disheartened as he used mind linking between two soulmates.

"What?" Hanisha squeaked. "No! Of course not, Jimin!"

Taehyung looked at the two, but pursed his lips when he realized that the two was mindlinking each other.

"Jimin—" Hanisha was already taken down by the guards as she tried to approach the man causing Jimin to show his sharp teeth, growling back to the remaining guards that he haven't killed.

"Get away from the King!" A guard yelled, knife threatened at her neck near the carotid as the others directed their guns on her temporal and head.

"Or else we will kill her!" The wolf's first instinct was to protect his mate, leaving the situation behind and was about to run towards the guard to protect his mate but was grabbed by Taehyung.

Let me go, Taehyung! The wolf yelled, growling at him even though his state was not doing well. The King shook his head, coughing out some blood.

I swear if you hurt her, I won't hesitate to kill you even though you are my bestfriend!

Taehyung froze, remembering those familiar words.

Remember what you told me before, Taehyung? Don't tell me it was one of your empty promise?

Jimin hissed, standing on his feet and taking this chance to get out of the vampire's strong grip, leaving the man out of his trance.

FLASHBACK

The day when Jimin received his mission.

"I will accept this mission in return for releasing me." Jimin mumbled. "However, If I succeed this mission, what will you give me in return?"

Taehyung furrowed his eyebrows. Knowing Jimin, he knew that the man needed a payment in every command one will order to him. Just as the King was about to say something, Jimin shook his head as he smiled.

"Do not increase my salary." Cocking an eyebrow, Taehyung tilted his head in confusion as Jimin added. "A wish."

The young king thought about it for a few seconds before words left his mouth that would change a part of everyone's destiny.

"Then I will give you one wish."

"Thank you." He sweetly and gently said as he looked up, smiling at him making the man groaned.

"Don't tell Seokjin about it. If you fail your mission after letting your sins off, I won't hesitate to kill you even if you're my best friend."

END OF FLASHBACK

"You mean your wish?" The vampire blurted out, standing on his feet and hands still clasping on his arms.

"Stop it! I order you to stop this fight and leave them alone." Taehyung yelled at the guards as they were quick to halt and obey the King, leaving Jimin panting and gasping for air to breath from fighting the guards.

Yes, my wish. Jimin nodded, standing right beside his soulmate as he looked up at her.

Taehyung knew by then what his wish will be. Do you want to protect her?

The King was using his telepathy powers as well. This way, only he and Jimin could hear each other.

Of course. Who wouldn't want to protect their soulmates? Jimin chuckled as Hanisha looked at them in confusion.

Besides, I could make my wish now that I have succeeded my mission already.

"What is it?" Taehyung asked, nervously.

You will save Hanisha.

Taehyung blinked twice, blankly staring at Jimin and doesn't even realized that the once wolf just turned back into his human form—naked.

"Jimin!" Hanisha yelled, running towards the naked form and dropped on her knees. "What is happening to you?!"

Taehyung gasped, eyes widened. He knew well enough what was happening to Jimin.

P-Please save my love. Tears fell down his cheeks, and Taehyung stood there, frozen.

I will do everything. I already found Seokjin hyung's child, Tae.

Taehyung closed his eyes, tears rolled down his cheeks as he looked away.You do know that a witch will die from a broken heart, right?

He didn’t care about Seokjin’s child as of the moment because his best friend is dying in front of him. His eyes then landed towards the woman who was crying already while having Jimin in her arms. You told me to save Hanisha, but how could I when she'll die from a broken heart anyway?

Jimin snuggled in his soulmate's arms, for the last time and tears streamed down his face. I talked to the man. He will come to you and will tell you how to save Hanisha.

"What man?" Taehyung squeaked, eyebrows knitting together. "Who are you talking about?"

Jimin couldn't hear anything anymore, and just cuddle into his soulmate's embrace, smelling his alluring—addicting scent for this last minute. He even remembered the questions he asked that night to her.

'Why did you do it?'

'Why did I what, Jimin?'

'Why did you have to take a revenge?'

'Because they hurt you and I, besides, it's my destiny.'

The Duke pursed his lips, flinching when the sudden pain in his body shot all over his system before a wide smile appeared on his lips again—though Taehyung couldn't see it.

I think this is what you felt that time when you were laying right in this room.

Jimin pulled away, hands lifted towards his soulmate's wet cheeks.

Except that Ha Na wasn't by your side.

Taehyung stiffened when Jimin's words echoed his ears. It all happened too fast that as soon as those words were delivered, screams resonated the entire room.

The King fainted.
