Jungwoon was walking in front of his queen's cabin. Sweat trickled down his forehead and his hands clutched tightly at his back.

"What is even happening with us" he breathily let out. Cursing his fate to be so unfair to them when they were nothing but good to everyone.

Since the time Bishop went away the King is scared and doesn't know what to do about the situation. He could only wait outside his alpha mate's camber to know what happened to her and his kid.

"King, I think you should rest. You will tire yourself by pacing like this outside the room" one guard whispered to him. Jungwoon looked at him and shook his head.

"I can't rest now. Everything is so messy around... And In all this I can't bring myself to rest" he responded. The guard couldn't see the always jolly-looking king so stressed and tensed. He knew the situation about the prince's demonic power is very scary but till some help comes they can't even do anything, could they?

But respecting the king's decision he didn't say anything and stood there silently.

Soon, the medic came outside. Her skin slightly burned, and exhaustion displayed all over her face and body. "How is my pup?" The king asked as soon as he came.

"Your highness... The prince as you might have gotten to know is a male Trueblood but he is very different. His eyes weren't shining red instead were pitch black. He is beautiful but still, the aura around him is horrifying. I can't even explain it in words but he isn't like some usual werewolf. He is a mystic creature who only Moon Goddess can understand" the doctor explained. She was surely befuddled.

"I know... I know" the King sighed, "And what about my queen?"

"She is fine. But- I don't think she would be able to conceive again, my lord. Her womb has got several damages and bearing a second child would be life-threatening. I am sorry" she ducked her head down in apology. The way everything was going downfall would make anyone think that series of curses for misfortune has fallen on their kingdom.

Jungwoon rubbed his forehead with his hand. "Thank you for informing me. Now please go and rest" the doctor bowed and went away.

The King went inside the chamber and was hit with strong gloomy dominance. But not letting it affect him he made his way towards his wife who with longing eyes was looking at their son. Her tears were falling uncontrollably as she understood that her son isn't a normal werewolf but a demon. She could feel his son's dark and blank soul and it made her sob hysterically.

Even more, because she couldn't even do anything about his situation. She wanted to touch her son, hold him in her arms, feed him, play with him- but she just couldn't touch him. She tried but her hand got burned. It's difficult for anyone to touch the prince. Even standing there near him was difficult but being his mother she has a less much lesser effect as compared to others but still it wasn't easy.

Jaehee made a space between her hand and her son's body and started moving her hand in the air. Jungwoon's heart dropped when he saw how badly she wanted to caress her pup but as she couldn't reach him so she is caressing his body without touching it.

"Jaehee" he called. The queen looked at him, more tears of anguish falling from her eyes.

"My majesty" she cried and made grabby hands for him. Jungwoon hurriedly came towards her and held her trembling mate in his arm. "O-our s-son... H-he i-is... A d-d-em-" she couldn't complete her sentence as it was interrupted by a series of whimpers and hiccups.

"Sh, sh. I know, my love. I know" Jungwoon bite his quivered lips. He pecked her head, shutting his eyes tightly and shedding his tears too.

Jaehee made space between them and looked at him hopefully. "Our son... He will get better, right? The demon will go away, right?" She asked, breathing heavily and uneven.

Jungwoon took her hand in his and caressed it. "The Bishop has got to get some answers about it, my queen. And before he comes back I can't give you any false hopes" he replied.

The queen looked down and nodded her head. They both then glanced at their son, a small smile coming on their face seeing him playing peacefully.

The King stepped down from the bed and made Jaehee lay down on it. "Now you rest and sleep. You did a great job today" he mumbled and caresses her head.

Walking toward his sleeping son he crouched down next to him. "And you, little champ. Don't worry, your appa will make sure to get some solution. I will protect you at any cost and every curse of yours will go away. Appa loves you so much, our cutie son... Our crown prince... Jeon Jungkook. This is the name we both decided on for our male pup. Do you like it?" He looked at The Queen and smiled warmly, eyes still teary but till time with tears of happiness. When the baby giggled they knew he liked the name.

The queen's smile fell when she saw the King raising his hand to caress his son. "You will hurt yourself, your majesty" she held his hand restricting him to touch. Jungwoon gave a small smile and removed her hand.

"I don't mind getting hurt by my son. For once at least, I want to caress his head" he whispered and without caring about anything softly caressed his head.

Jaehee sucked her teeth when she saw her husband scrunching his face in pain but not letting out any sound of suffering. She harshly bites her lip, resisting her cries. They both were longing for their son.

"Now you both should rest. I will come in the morning" Jaehee nodded her hand.

He glanced at them and then stepped out of the room. Jungwoon looked at his hand and saw it was red but he doesn't care. As for now what he should care about is finding a way to help his son.

🐺

Taemin pat Yuna's head when she fell asleep on his chest. He kept rocking her body gently and had his eyes focused on the door with thousands of thoughts running in his mind.

"I wish everything will become better one day" he could only wish. The constant negative thoughts only made his heart clench in fear. He doesn't know what is going to happen in future, but at least he can wish that his wife and twin pups could be protected and live happily throughout their lives.

Taemin was going to sleep too then only he hear some noises from the outside.

"We are going to remove any source of destruction in our kingdom. No one would be there who can hurt us and our family. Let's go and get rid of that demonic kid"

He could hear people chanting this all the way. His soul for a second feels like left his body. "Are villagers going to hurt the crown prince?" Taemin whispered to himself with wide eyes.

Yuna's eyes opened because of the commotion. She looked at the panicked Taemin and frowned. "What happened, alpha?" She asked.

Taemin looked at him and crouched down. "I have to go to the castle for some urgent work. I'll be back quickly, ok?" He said. Yuna wanted to ask him, stop him too as she didn't want him to go. But the fear and uncertainty in his eyes tell her that she shouldn't.

So Yuna just nodded her head. Taemin pecked her lips and went out. Yuna's heart got filled with doubt and ominous thoughts. Why did "I'll be back quickly" sound so unnerving? Why she couldn't believe that? Now she regrets letting him go away.

"Please take care of him Moon Goddess" she closed her eyes and joined her hands praying for her husband's safety.

🐺

Taemin hurriedly reached the castle and saw all the villagers and guards fighting with each other. A few were knocked down on the floor and a few villagers were able to sneak inside.

He took the other route inside the castle, jumped from the window and started searching for the crown prince. "Your majesty!" he called to alert the Queen while making his way to her chamber.

He kept praying that no one would have reached near her chamber but of course, the whole world is opposing their kingdom currently that is why a few villagers found the queen's chamber and were fighting with the guards.

The number of villagers and guards was fewer so they overpowered them and were becoming successful in defeating the protectors.

"What are you all doing please stop it! He is just a kid, it's not his fault that he has a demon's soul. Please, don't become so inhuman and stop all this" he cried trying to knock some senses in them but their immoral act got fuel because of the negativity the devil's soul was spreading. It was like putting camphor in the fire.

"We won't stop it! To protect our family from danger we will do anything. Don't you dare try to come in between, Taemin" one of them growled in reply and pushed one of the guards who stumbled and got his head hit with a vase.

"Shit" Taemin cursed and helped the guard to sit. "You all stop, please. He is just a newborn. You people just can't!" He begged for the life of the little one but no one heard. They were ready to barge inside but Taemin stopped them and started to fight back, supporting the 2 guards left.

"Go away Taemin. We don't want to kill you too" the other villager said and punch Taemin's face.

"I won't let you kill him" he growled back and taking a stick hit them.

They all keep fighting and in all that more villagers and guards joined. The commotion started to increase even more waking up the King and Queen too.

Jaehee gasped when she heard so many screams. "What is even happening?". She wanted to check but didn't go as she saw Jungkook waking up. His blank eyes staring at the ceiling. Legs and hands cycle in the air. She bites her lip and put the pillow on her lap and along with the bedsheet she took him on her lap and frowned seeing his eyes shining black.

The villagers got more aggressive and in that aggression one of the betas raised his axe, trying to break the door with it. Taemin held it in his hands and started snatching the weapon from his grip. The villager became angry too and both did their best to snatch the weapon and keep the weapon.

In all this nobody knew how it happened but the sharper side of the axe was turned towards Taemin and penetrated his side.

He screamed in pain and held his injured side. The villager's eyes widened and the axe fell from his hands. He started shivering in guilt seeing Taemin clutching his side and quivering on the ground. His life slowly went away from his body.

"Taemin!" The other villager who was his friend yelled for his name. He wanted to go to him but suddenly the axe which was on the ground started flying in the air. Taemin breathed heavily and saw the black clouds covering it.

That time he knew that the devil inside the crown prince has taken his first step.
