You go outside only having to excuse yourself through a huge crowd to get to the front. You swear you had never seen these many people in the village at one time. Some were murmuring when they saw you, others eyes widened and some gave you the side eye.

Nonetheless, you followed through to join the boys at the front. Now you could understand the villagers reaction when you saw the bloodfeeder who had attacked you from before, moreover there were eight more bloodfeeders with him.

Sheila had said she was giving you one week before she would do all this. She had clearly lied!

You were blended in with the crowd so Jungkook and the others currently talking to the blood feeders hadn't noticed you yet. You heard into their conversation.

"Give us the princess!", the bloodfeeder demanded.

"Not a chance!", Jungkook spat.

"Oh I wasn't asking", the bloodfeeder bitterly chuckled.

"I'm just giving you one last chance before we have to tear this place apart to find her and I got plenty of backup", he smirked.

"There are plenty of other humans, go find someone else to help put those pathetic fangs to use", Jungkook retorted.

"Despite being a pathetic human, she is special", the bloodfeeder stepped forward coming right in Jungkook's face.

"She's the princess for one and two...", he pointed one of his claw at Jungkook's chest, "She's your mate", he let out a large laugh.

A mate? Jungkook's mate?

You had no idea what he was going on about.

"A human, an alpha's mate, quite embarassing really", the bloodfeeder hissed.

Jungkook's eyes widened, only the boys knew you were his mate, not even you did. That meant someone from the village had overheard their conversation and it must be them who had connections to the bloodfeeder.

"Who told you!", Jungkook asked.

"Oh I assure you, the traitor is quite near to you but that's none of my business, I'm just here to get the princess, the quicker I get her, the quicker we get this over with", the bloodfeeder rolled his eyes.

You bit your lip nervously, there was no way you were letting Jungkook and the boys get into another fight, in fact, the entire village could pay a huge fight because the nine bloodfeeders did not look like they came to leave without you.

You abruptly stepped out of the crowd and forward.

Everyone gasped as a huge smile was now plastered on the bloodfeeder.

"I-I'm here, just take me and leave them alone", you confessed walking forward.

Jungkook shot you a glare as you passed him, "I told you to stay put!"

You mouthed an "I'm sorry" but little did you know Jungkook wasn't one to give up. He held you back, twirling you into Taehyung's direction.

"Get Y/N away from here!", he commanded.

Taehyung didn't have to be told twice as he was already dragging you away from the seen.

You got a last glimpse of Jungkook and the others attacking the bloodfeeder.

"I have to do something!", you stopped.

"Y/N you are doing something, you're saving yourself now let's go!", Taehyung stated. You had never seen him this intimidating before.

"But what about them, I atleast have to help", you wanted to run back into the crowd to help.

"You are helping by leaving now let's go!", Taehyung nudged you forward as you disappared into the forest, escaping the village in war.

You could still hear faint howling and people screaming. It was a chaos and like you ran away from the castle, you ran away from this too.

------------------------------------

Your legs began to ache and you were sure you had never run this much in your entire lifetime.

Taehyung had informed you that you guys were far enough from the village and could finally rest.

From the moon placement, Taehyung also told you it was around 2 am.

You guys managed to find a nice spot under a big tree but you were still hesitant to sit on the floor.

"Oh don't worry, I made sure to bring us something", he placed a large blanket on the ground which you didn't even notice he had until he pulled it out.

You managed to pass him a small smile despite not feeling like smiling because of the events that had taken place today.

Taehyung lay on the blanket first with so much ease, it hadn't even looked like he had felt all that bad but then again all of this wasn't his fault.

He patted the space next to him as you slid there, looking at the lovely dark blue sky and the fiery silver stars against it.

Taehyung saw the distress in your face.

"Everything will be fine!", he smiled at you.

"And how do you manage to stay soo positive!", you lowly chuckled.

"I know Jungkook and he always pulls through plus those scrawny little bloodfeeders got nothing on us, we will be back on our way to the village by morning, I'm sure the bloodfeeders will be gone by then", he stated.

Speaking of Jungkook, you still didn't know this mate business and how you were in the middle of it.

"What's a mate?", you asked Taehyung.

Taehyung's eyes widened, "Oh a mate umm...I don't know what you're talking about", he nervously laughed. Obviously he knew and was not willing to tell.

"Look, the bloodfeeder said I was Jungkook's mate, what does that mean?", this time you asked more seriously making sure "no" was not an answer.

Taehyung cracked under pressure far too quickly than you had anticipated.

"Fine!", he sighed. "I'll tell you but you can't tell Jungkook I told you".

You nodded your head.

"A soulmate is a wolf's life partner, it is our destiny, most of us are able to find them in our twenties, when you first come in contact with them, you get a scar on your left cheek", he stated.

You remembered seeing a scar on your left cheek as your hand automatically went up to touch it.

"Yup, just like the one you have!", Taehyung pointed out.

"B-but I'm a human, we don't have anything like this, how is it possible?", you asked.

"Well the chances of having a human mate is highly slim but it isn't impossible, a human must be born on a full moon like all wolves are to have the ability to be a soulmate and while it's rare, that's what happened to you", he explained.

You gulped, this was all news to you.

"A-and you're saying Jungkook's my soulmate?", you asked. Once again your stomach twisted in funny motions in weird ways, this was not something you were opposed to but you didn't know exactly how you felt about it. This would also explain Sheila's command, she knew too, that's how the bloodfeeder got to know and she must be jealous, that's why she wanted you to stay away from Jungkook.

"Having a soulmate also entails cool abilities which if you're a human mate, you can't feel all of them, for example, you both can sense where the other is located although you need to concentrate alot more to do it", That would explain how he randomly showed up to save you at the falls and then from the bloodfeeder in the forest.

"You can also feel eachother's pain" Taehyung added, explaining the sudden knowledge of Jungkook knwoing about your wounds.

"And you can telepathically communicate", he stated. You gasped, you knew that one because you had done it with Jungkook before. But he had lied to you about everyone being able to do it, he was trying to hide the fact that you were his soulmate but why! That knowledge did make your heart hurt a little.

You also replayed what the bloodfeeder had said in your head, "A human, an alpha's mate, quite embarassing really".

He didn't want you as a soulmate because you were human.

Despite trying very hard not to, you wanted to burst into tears.
