Suprise!!
I raised an incredulous eyebrow at him and nodded. Demons were born out of the depth of hell, if they bit a human they could get infected or sometimes even die because they didn't survive the transition, if they weren't already killed before. A demon fed on human blood mainly. Human's meat was also the fetish of others, but that was the extent of my knowledge aside from the ranks.
"Yes." I answered "Where is..."
"Shush, Ela." Felix ushered "Answer and we'll see."
"Do you remember the pink solution that you always drank as a child?" Hoseok asked
I nodded and felt even more confused.
"That was angel's blood."
I stared at my brother. And exploded in laughter. What was that about? The lack of reaction from the others made me freeze mid laugh.
I looked at Yoongi as he pushed a dossier in front of me. Shaking my head with a smile, I began reading through the lines and recognized my mother's writing. My name and my brother's name. Demon and Angel. This was a bad joke. Flipping the pages, Felix gritted his teeth as he cursed. This was impossible. At last, Jungkook handed me a bunch of paper looking much more new. My blood analysis.
"When did you even take my blood?" I whispered
"When I let you cut the vegetables, you always cut yourself at least once." Hoseok whispered "You change the knife and wipe it with a clean towel. Before washing the towel." He said simply
I looked at the blood analysis in disbelief. My DNA was different from the books. I felt fear bit by bit grew in me. I looked at Jimin who silently looked at me. He was assessing, watching and analyzing. My brother had demon blood in him, I remember the dark red liquid he drank. I remember asking my mother why I had the pink one and he did not.
She had brushed it off and later on I thought that it was because it was child's talk. The beating. It was too set off Hoseok, to see if he reacted to my pain. Hoseok must have realized it. I took a step back as Felix kept skipping through the pages as I handed them to him without a word.
"How did you have access to this?" Felix worded "This must have been highly confidential."
"It was me." someone stepped out of the shadow
I recognized Prince Ren as he gave me his gentleman smile. This smile. This smile wasn't good. I tensed up as I looked at my brother who had again closed his eyes. What just happened? What did I learn on myself? I have angel blood in me.
Impossible to separate now, because I had grown for years with it within me. I clenched my jaw as I couldn't even utter a word.
An angel.
That's why Jimin's reaction was off.
"The first queen is knowledgeable about this. That's why she did tried to meet you." I looked at Ren.
There was something that I was missing. Something else. I looked at Hoseok, dark hair and dark brown eyes, just like our parents. I looked at Prince Ren and somehow, his eyes were like mine. The face of the first queen strangely familiar.
When I realized what wasn't said and what Prince Ren didn't tell them, I felt like vomiting the meal I just had. Prince Ren came forward, but Felix stood between him and me.
"Won't you let me embrace my little sister?"
The voice nagging. Hoseok's eyes snapping open as he looked at Ren for a second. Slowly connecting the dots, something he refused to do before. He became silent. I couldn't even speak through my shock. I was a princess, given up for experiment given up to researcher by my own mother.
I looked at Jimin who had his eyes focused on Ren.
"You're lying." I whispered denying it "You're lying. Hobi's my brother."
"I'm sorry Ela but-"
"No." My eyes locked with his "No. Hobi's my brother. He's my big brother and that doesn't matter if we aren't blood related. He was the one raising me to be who I am today. Hoseok is my brother and that your highness Ren will never be something you'll be for me." I snapped clenching my fist "I was abandoned by the royal family to be experienced-"
"To become a superior being!" Ren said louder "To shine brighter than any stars. Father was devastated leaving you in the hands of the scientist. Your body too weak when you were a baby, risking to die, he made the scientist promise to save you. And they did, but hid you away." He gritted
And that was why they were killed. Hoseok had lost his parents because of me. Because I existed. I could feel the knots in my stomach as more and more things were uncovered. Namjoon was silent as he realized all the unsaid things.
Jungkook stood up and walked next to Ela standing as a barrier. She grabbed his shirt as she leaned her forehead against him.
A pillar, Jin thought.
An unmovable pillar.
Prince Ren laughed like a maniac as Felix looked at him in disgust. The royal family was mad.
"Then you should ask why Hoseok was injected demon blood?" Ren grinned "Because he's our half-brother. So you aren't entirely wrong." I snapped my head to Hoseok who had somehow realized because he didn't show much of a reaction
"Wait." Taehyung said "You didn't tell us any of that."
"Freaking psychopath." Felix spat at the prince
"Whatever, the only thing I want is...her." He pointed to me "Her place is at the palace. Next to me, the next king and my mother the first queen her mother. Hoseok can stay in the Academy for all I care, the bastard child my father had with a scientist, doesn't interest me." he sneered "So."
"Who says I'm going?" I said
"Who said you have a choice?" I felt a shiver of fear travel down my spine
Something was wrong. Something was going on. I looked at the Prince who gave me a knowing smile. Walking towards Hoseok, he set a hand on his shoulder as Hoseok glared at him.
"You don't want me to reveal to the world who the bastard child is do you?" he asked evilly
Child out of wedlock was punished by death of the child. He had me. I clenched my fist as I looked at Hoseok and he clenched his fist before shaking his head once. No. Refuse. That's what he was telling me. I would not. I let go of Jungkook slowly and stepped in front of him. Suddenly, 25 armed guards of the Prince's army burst into the room. None of the DC members moved. Jimin was perfectly still as he looked at me.
"Your life and your choice, little sister. Always." Ren spoke with a smug smile
"Ela, no." Jungkook whispered
"What do you want me to do Kookie?" I spoke in a whisper a tear streaming down my cheek as I looked at Hoseok who gritted his teeth "Don't you dare Jung Hoseok. Don't you dare do anything okay?" I repeated as I saw him settled his hand on his blades "Yoongi." I called and the male locked eyes with mine
During the last month, we talked a lot. He was a great conversation partner and trained me. I learned a lot from him and we often napped together with Jimin. I looked at him 'Please Yoon. Take care of him.' His eyes widened as I pointed my gun right at Jungkook's head. Swirling around, his widened eyes looking into mine. Felix was already on the floor.
"If I'm a princess, I have nothing left to do here." I spoke wiping my tears
"El, no." Jungkook repeated
For the first time, for the first time in my whole life, I did something I knew I would deeply regret. I let my Pacifier ability slide along my arm as I looked in Jungkook's eyes who glazed over. Right at this moment, I did something that I promised I wouldn't do. I knew that. I loathed myself as Jungkook's arm fell limp on each of his side.
"Jungkook. I think that Jimin is trying to resist." I said with a small voice "Restrain him."
I looked at Jimin as he widened his eyes at me. He was slammed face to the ground. Ren was laughing. Laughing in delight. She was really his little sister. He walked towards her.
"He's your mate, you should still be careful." He nudged
I looked at Jimin before taking a hold of the link. I looked into his eyes and then I looked at Namjoon. His eyes locked with mine and he shook his head discreetly. I traced the link with my fingers slowly before taking a firmer hold on it. Feeling the blood raise in my throat, Jimin trashed. Screamed bloody murder as I gave him a half smile.
"Ela?" Prince Ren frowned
"It's nothing. Let's go. I'm excited to see the first queen again." The words chocked out of my mouth
The guard guided us outside and when the door closer, I took a last glance back and mouthed 'I love you Jimin. I love you Hoseok. I love you guys. I'm sorry.'
As I let my ability slide away from Jungkook, I grabbed the link harshly inside my mind and tore it apart. Because I wouldn't be a liability anymore to the one I love. Jimin's scorching scream resonated in the corridor as I kept walking calmly beside my 'brother'.
He smiled and laughed as I smiled at him indulgently. My action would cost me my life soon enough. My whole heart nothing more than a piece of stone as I stepped inside the carriage. I looked outside and sighed.
"What has you sighing princess?" a guard looked at me with adoration in his eyes
"Nothing, I'm just very tired." I smiled at him
Ren pulled my head to his shoulder gently and I never felt so repulsed to submit in something. I didn't know him. I didn't want to get to know him.
I hated being forced here.
I hated it with all my might.
However, nothing could be done. I thought about how my brother looked at me when I closed the door and I couldn't help but loath myself.
Then...Jimin. I felt my whole body shiver just saying his name. He would survive I remembered. Our link was broken and the academy wouldn't be touched by the royal family in the meantime. Killing my...Killing Hoseok would be too much of a hassle or at least I'll make sure it will be. Abruptly, the carriage came to a stop and I opened my eyes.
"What is wrong?" I asked
My voice was smaller, listening to it made me think of a child. That was because the link breaking was weakening my body. I didn't expect the mate bond to affect me so much. My love for Jimin was great. I should stop thinking about him though, because right now he must be furious.
"I don't know. Peasants..." Prince Ren cursed
I held myself back from retorting to this asshole that this isn't how you talk to people, but I smiled awkwardly. He stood up and stepped out of the carriage. I followed him diligently, only to see a huge tree laying sideways.
"I'm sorry Prince Ren. The tree will be removed as soon as possible." The guard was trembling and my brother kicked him harshly in the gut
"Do you realize how long today was? How tired MY little sister must be? INCOMPETENT!" he snarled about to hit him again
I embraced his arm and he relaxed. He looked at me and offered me a small smile patting my head.
"You're too good." He smiled
Suddenly, there was a bunch of noises and rustling around. Prince Ren got his sword out and I glanced around. My vision was blurry. But I felt it. I knew it was them. I do not have an idea on how they could be so quick, but they were. Ren told me to get back inside the carriage and then it was encircled by the trained guards of his army. They looked like robots, death robots.
"COME OUT." Prince Ren shouted
"Give her back to me. While I'm asking nicely."
For a moment, I didn't even recognize the voice of Jimin. I had never feared him. I had heard rumors about him being one of the strongest and who fought against demons the easiest. But... I risked a glance outside and it was true his ability was pulsating around him. I felt my head hurt even more. I had taken most of the physical damage of the bond and left him with an equally split emotional damage.
I bite my lips as I sat on the floor of the carriage. I couldn't stand anymore. I didn't want to see him. I didn't want to see them anymore, I didn't want to learn more. To be told that Hobi wasn't my brother, to be told that they would be killed if they went against the royal family.
"The first queen told me you acted on your own accord Prince Ren." Namjoon's voice made me widen my eyes
I thought that the first queen had...
"SHE'S MINE." Prince Ren passively spat
"She isn't an object Ren." Yoongi's voice was grumpier than usual "You are being a selfish self-centered asshole right now. Moreover, you didn't even realize that Ela broke her mate bond with Jimin. She probably thought that she wouldn't be a burden anymore, or something along the side of that."
I flushed. I was read so easily again. I looked in front of me and I knew that he was in front of the door of the carriage. Jungkook. I didn't want to see him. I had done something to him that I never expected to happen again. I thought that I would...that I would join...I cut my thoughts myself. I would go up there alone.
My 'parents' saw me as an experiment and my real parents probably denied my existence while my 'real' brother had some weird obsession with me. My ramble of thoughts was interrupted by the door of the carriage being torn away from it.
I widened my eyes, unable to stand up and quickly looked down.
"Ela."
Jungkook's voice was soft. So gentle, that tears prickled my eyes right away.
"No don't be gentle with me. Jungkook please." I whispered
Feeling him jump inside the carriage, he kneeled down in front of me. Lifting my chin with his fingers, I could see no hate and lo loathe in Jungkook's eyes making me bite my lips harder and try to push him away.
"Namjoon and Jin had it arranged. Ren will be taken care of and so will the first queen." Jungkook spoke up
"Uh." I said confused
Jungkook didn't answer me as he slid his arms under my knees and behind my back lifting me up and jumping out of the carriage. I felt my breathe getting rough, but fresh air allowed me to somehow get better and I opened my eyes. I couldn't help but gasp. My brother was standing there, covered in blood. Bodies around him and Jungkook, now that I had noticed had been the same. Hoseok looked at me and took his bloody gloves off.
"You don't look good." He smiled "Little sis."
I felt my heart swell.
"Stop." I pleaded "Stop."
"You said to me Ela." Hoseok reminded me "You said that we were siblings no matter what. That won't change ever. You are my little sister and mine to take care of. I'm the one who will guide you to the altar the day Jimin will take you as a spouse. I know why you did what you did, but now we have to get you to Jimin, or he is going to murder the Prince. As much as I want to do it myself..." he mumbled the last part
Jungkook hurriedly walked to the other side of the carriage. Jimin was holding his katana flush against the throat of the Prince and Yoongi had already taken a step closer to him in warning. I looked at Jimin and I felt my whole body vibrate.
The mate bond was vibrating inside of me. I didn't even see Jimin move as he was soon in front of me.
And he kissed me.
Deeply.
I was taken aback, but Jungkook's hold didn't falter as Jimin's kiss inflated life back in my body. At once, he pulled away with a frown and put our forehead together.
"Listen. You are mine." He spoke lowly "And once things are mine, I don't let them belong to someone else." He added
"I love you." My words were genuine pouring down my heart
Jimin felt his heart swell. He had seen the hate and loathe when Ela closed the door and tried to break the link. It only took him a second to realize that it was what Ela felt towards herself. Thus he protected the mate bond, managing to hide it extremely well from her. He had screamed because he was angry and Jungkook's hold on him was literally crushing him.
He had confirmed that Ela's love for him was so strong that she couldn't even break the link properly because of the pain that the thought inflicted her. Hoseok put a hand on his shoulder and smiled. Jimin had known Hoseok for years, but even with the news of Ela not being his little sister.
His love for her never faltered once.
Ela was Jung Ela. Princess Ela was dead.
"I know." Jimin answered me
I sighed and closed my eyes. Jimin kissed his mate's forehead as he looked at Jungkook. When Ela had broken her influence on him, his first reaction was to ask what the plan was to get her back. It hadn't even fazed him, whereas as Ela would probably feel guilty forever. He ruffled the younger one's head and smiled.
Then, he sensed it.
Taehyung.
"I advise you to drop that gun, Prince Ren."
Taehyung's voice was sweet, but his tone held a menace that made even Yoongi grimace. Taehyung was rarely serious and he rarely cared for people a lot. Nonetheless, he REALLY cared about Ela and Jimin.
He loved the DC members as brothers, but the mates had always a special place in his heart. He had learned thanks to Hoseok, who Ela really was. The girl who put herself at the bottom of the list, even if she was weaker.
Her attention, he could gain.
Her smile, he could click his fingers and get it.
Her kindness, she offered him hugs and comfort without him even asking.
Taehyung cared for such a sweet little angel.
Namjoon sighed as he looked at the mess.
The guards were almost all dead. Hoseok cleaning his blades silently waiting for his reaction. Jin had been talking and negotiating with the first queen. As the cousin of the King, he had more rights than the fallen queen who had cheated on her husband. Ren was the source of her affair, but as the only heir he had to go back alive.
The King didn't want his daughter. So Jin had asked him if he could adopt Hoseok and Ela into the Kim family. The Duke and the duchess happier that they would get two other children and even more so a girl had given their accord without blinking.
He glanced at Prince Ren and realized that his little brother had made the crown prince piss himself.
"Taehyung, he is the crown prince." Namjoon sighed
Taehyung shrugged his shoulders, unbothered as he made his way over to Jungkook who handed Ela to him without protesting.
"She's just tired." He told Jimin who was still tensed "I'll hold her until we're back at the Academy." He smiled
"I love her Tae." Jimin admitted
He had never admitted in front of the DC members, except Hoseok that he fancied her. That his love for her was this strong. But that was great.
8 years later
"Park Soobin." Ela stood in front of her 4 year old son her hands on her hips
"Mommy, listen....it's Yeonjun he-"
Raising an eyebrow at her son, he shut his mouth right away. Soobin had learned one thing about his mom. It was that no matter what she was the softest being on earth, but she was also protected by the scariest demon on earth. Park Jimin, his dad, who stood a few meters away talking with Yeonjun's dad and his uncle Jung Hoseok.
"Yeonjun, you bad too." Jihyo groaned as she stepped over looking at her son
"I didn't mom. It's not me who stepped inside the roses of Lady Park's beautiful garden." He bowed respectfully to Ela while smirking at Soobin
Soobin scoffed as his mother sighed and pouted, before crouching down in front of Yeonjun. And she flicked his forehead. The little boy too surprised, looked at her
"It's not good to lie. Your mama is not going to be happy." She smiled
"I am not." Jihyo groaned "Come here."
Jihyo and Ela had been pregnant during the same time. Ela's pregnancy had been difficult, but Jimin and the six others as well as her friends had been there for her. Soobin was cheeky, but sometimes abhorred the harsh personality of his father.
Soobin looked at his mother. She wasn't angry with him, despite the frown she wanted to put on. He looked at his father who mouthed 'Apologize.' His eyes stern and Soobin got a shiver. He was smarter than most four year's old would be.
"I'm sorry mommy." He said cutely cringing internally
"Really?"
"Really." He said
"You are forgiven then." She lifted him up in his arms and then Soobin sensed it
She wasn't alone. She was with someone else. He frowned.
"Don't tell your dad." She whispered
Jimin was walking over and touched his wife. He knew she was pregnant again, but she wanted to throw a surprise party for him. Taehyung had it all planned and told him to act really surprised.
Taehyung had been the goofiest and the most caring uncle from them all. Soobin however, liked Jungkook and Hoseok far more, than Taehyung. Unbeknownst to him of course. He kissed his mother's cheek and wiggled out of her embrace as she let herself be cradled by her mate.
"He's so big already." She whispered "So much like you." She pouted
"How so?" Jimin grinned as his wife gave him a glare "Are you accusing me of something wife?" he said
"Are you even in love with me dear husband?" she grinned as his grip tightened on her waist and he spun her around.
Nobody questioned Jimin's love for his wife.
"Indefinitely."
