I was trying to read his expression but no, Taehyung was so good at hiding his emotions
What are you up to this time Tae?

"Yah, Are you stupid or something? "

Jimin growled from across him

"Repeat what you said brat "

Yoongi hissed at him

Taehyujng being Taehyung only rolled his eyes

"Don't you get it hyungs? I just said we are in a relationship.. Why do you make it seems as if I spoke Chinese? "

He snapped rudely but I decided to keep my cool and not loose it

"Tae, you aren't just out of your mind are you? You do know that's a trespass right? We are not supposed to take each other's mate "

Hoseok hyung pointed out with a scoff

But the younger retorted rather arrogantly with a snicker that seemed to have no end

"What's so funny? " Jimin growled once more

"Are you kidding me Hyung? The rule never said it wasn't wrong to take each other's REJECTED mate right "
He emphasized on the 'rejected '

I froze at his words

Everyone did, staring at him wide eyed and mouth agape

After that no one spoke a word because he had hit a vital point

We wouldn't dare argue because no Vamp-law forbade such a thing

A rejected mate is an outcast so it isn't a crime to go for that mate in the Vamp-law. The laws of mates according to Vamp-law states that, in a coven or in the vampire society, no one's mate is supposed to have anything intimate or any relationship with another coven brother or vampire's mate. This is because we believe in mates being a natural match chosen by nature to maintain bloodline mostly and they are bonded because they have a similar horoscope in every sacred way possible.So taking someone's mate is described as an incest since you are related through the bond with your coven member's mate. Like how human families will see someone as a family after getting married to their relative. It'll be an abomination if one's mate is taken by the other as every vampire is entitled to an individual mate or a life partner so there was no point in going for that of another person mate except for greed being the only reason

We don't practice polygamy

And the mate bond is sealed in such a way that you will only feel something for your own mate and have no taste another person after your bond

So basically it means you will only go for another person to satisfy your own desires such as lusts or if your mate rejected you , you will probably need someone to get your mind off things.
I understand Luna in this case

However, I didn't understand Taehyung's reason for going for her

Firstly, since he hasn't been rejected by his mate and secondly I somehow get him since he hadn't felt the gravity of a mate bond by meeting his mate yet

That is why he's able to go around doing whatever he wants with other women

Because he hasn't experienced the gravity of his bond

"Cat got your tongues? "

He mused teasingly but no one talked

I, mostly kept mute because I was trying to understand everything that must be lingering through his mind
