The next time I woke up I was alone, but could hear the shower running. Before getting up to join him I took a moment to feel my body. I felt strong, my skin was firm yet still soft. My muscles were toned, yet my body shape wasn't any different. I ran my fingers through my hair and it was definitely thicker. With the curiosity of what else had changed, I got up and made my way to the bathroom, quietly. When I saw myself in the mirror, I still looked like me.

I was relieved at that.

"Are you going to join me?" I heard Tae ask from the shower, making me smiled and walk over to him.

"Yes please." I responded, opening up the door.

I felt my body flood with heat again when I saw him naked, and wet. But what really got to my heart was the smile on his lips. It was the same smile that I had fallen in love with. He reached out to me and helped me in, immediately wrapping me in his arms, pressing the side of his head into mine.

I felt his body tremble a little, which was strange. The water was warm enough. "Why are you trembling?"

"I'm afraid."

"What are you afraid of?" I asked, running my hand up and down his back.

"You."

"Why me?"

"I'm afraid you're going to leave."

"I don't plan to." I said softly, my heart aching. "You mated me, remember?" I said trying to lighten his mood.

"You mated me first." He chuckled.

I pulled back from him and his eyes looked more amused than worried making me grin. I wanted to change the subject so I pulled away grabbing the body wash. "What do you think your friends will say when they realize?"

"I don't know honestly." He sighed, running his fingers over his hair rinsing out the shampoo he was using. "I don't think Hoseok will be surprised, or Yoongi for that matter. Jimin will be excited and Jungkook won't care."

"What about Namjoon and Jin?"

I saw his body tense at the mention of their names, making me pay close attention.

"I don't care what they think."

"Nor do I." I said now rinsing myself. "But now there is no reason for you to be so protective of me."

"Oh, you think?"

"I know." I said turning to him and making him look at me. "I am not a fragile human anymore baby, I'm not docile. I'm not compliant. I'm not afraid, and I'm not weak. Not anymore." I grabbed him by the throat and threw him up against the shower wall to make my point. His expression was a surprised one, but he let me continue. "I can take care of myself now, and there is no reason that I should be locked up in this room. I can go out with you now. I can socialize now."

Just then he took hold of my hips, twisting them and grabbing my arm. He switched out positions and pushed the front of my body up against the shower wall pinning me there with his pelvis, his erection pressed up against my ass.

"You forget one thing baby."

"What is that?" I breathed, the anticipation of him taking me again making me even more aroused.

"Wherever you go, whatever you do, and whoever you're with you wear my mark." He said pulled back slightly and bending me. He leveled himself with my entrance and pushed in agonizingly slowly. I let out a low moaned as he did, making him growl. "Forever is forever baby, and you're mine." He started to pull back out and push back in, slowly increasing his pace as he did. "This pussy is for my pleasure only."

I loved hearing his claim over me. It made my orgasm come quick, and Taehyung spent his time making me cum over and over again before he finished inside of me.

After our long shower, we got dressed and once I was finished brushing through my hair, I found Taehyung sitting on the side of the bed, his head down.

"What's wrong?" I asked him, walking up to him as straddling his lap.

He wrapped his arms around me and sighed deeply before moving his hand to run his fingers through my hair.

"I know we are mated, but how do you really feel? You mated me out of a rush of lust and I just want to know that this is actually what you want. You literally just turned. You have no experience as a creature of the night. What if you don't want it?"

"I want you." I said, being sure to keep eye contact. "I want you, and if this change is how I can have you, forever, then it's what I want. I promise."

After a few moments of silence, he sighed and nodded, pulling me in for a sweet kiss. "You are part of our...family now."

I smiled. "Well lets go see everyone then."

He smiled and patted my thigh to get up, but I didn't move. "You want me to carry you?"

"No, I just want a kiss first." I pouted.

He smiled brightly at me running his hands up my back and taking me by the roots of my hair. He pulled me into his pillowy lips, running them across mine deliciously. I nipped at his bottom lip, making him move from my and trailing his tongue down my neck. He nipped at where he had marked me, growling.

"Don't start something." He warned.

I giggled. "Sorry, just can't help myself around you I guess."

I lifted myself off of him, keeping my hand tightly in his as he lead me out of his bedroom and down the dark hallway I remembered. We could hear voices as we approached, making us both stop and listen.

"Her smell lingers over this entire house. It's driving me crazy." We heard Yoongi say in his deep voice.

"Do you think he'll turn her?" Jimin asked. "I do."

"I have no doubts." Hoseok replied. "I think she wants it more than he does."

"What makes you say that?" Jimin asked him.

"Just a hunch." He said.

We heard groaning from Yoongi before a loud bag. "This is ridiculous...I did not sign up to be tortured in my own house. He either turns her, or I'm going to fucking eat her."

I looked up to Tae who was rolling his eyes and started walking further down the hall. Just a short second later, listening to Jimin try to distract his boyfriend, we turned the corner to see them all in the living room.

"Her sent will fade soon." Tae said, all of them looking over at me. "She's no longer human."

Yoongi's eyes went wide, Hoseok remained neutral and Jimin got a huge smile on his face. "I knew you'd turn her." He said letting go of Yoongi and walking over to me. He pushed me up against the wall smelling me, then shaking his head after. "You smell like...one of us." He smirked at me, still way too close.

I saw Tae go to grab him but I stopped him by holding up my hand.

"I am one of you Jiminie." I said letting my lips ghost over his. "Because now, I can do this..." I took him by his throat and faster than I had ever moved before pinned him down on the ground, a leg on each side of him.

"Damn." He breathed as I let go of his throat. "Sexy."

"Alright." Tae sighed, grabbing my hand, making me get to my feet. "That's enough. Yes, Faye is no longer human. She chose this...and..." He pushed my hair way from my side of my neck showing my mark. "...we are mated now too."

"That was fast." Hoseok smiled from across the room.

I nodded, both of us acknowledging the conversation we had before I turned to Yoongi. "I'm sorry if my sent was driving you crazy, but you're not going to have to worry about that anymore."

"Does Namjoon know?" Jimin asked standing to his feet.

"It just happened last night." Tae explained. "So, no not yet."

"Why does his opinion matter?"

"Well it's his decision whether you get to stay or not." Yoongi replied.

"I'm mated to Taehyung, of course I get to stay." I said, making Jimin laugh.

"I like the new you, you're more fiery."

"Jin will like her too." Yoongi smirked.

"I don't give a flying fuck what Jin thinks." Tae snapped.

"Of course, you do." Jimin said with a smile. "You would want him to want her to stay, wouldn't you?"

"I don't care." He growled again.

"Why are we talking as if I'm not right here?" I asked making them all look at me. "Why does Namjoon and Jin get a say in whether I stay or go?"

"Because Namjoon is our leader." Hoseok says. "If he doesn't accept you then the bond you hold will sever."

I looked over to Taehyung. "With you?"

"No with the clan. It will sever my bond too." He explained and I could tell that he didn't like that idea.

"What are we talking about Joonie for?" Jungkook yawned walking down the stairs. When he saw me, he immediately smiled. "Oh, so I finally get to meet Faye." Once he was at the last step, he gave me a funny look. "I thought you all said she was human?"

"She was." Jimin grinned. "Tae turned her. Welcome your new sister Jungkookie."

Jungkook grinned, and it seemed sweet and genuine. Taehyung wrapped his arm around my waist as he spoke. "I mated her too."

"Oh good." He replied rounding the stairs and walking towards the kitchen. "Jinnie will be happy to hear."

"Why is that?" I asked. "He tried to kill me, and ever since then he hasn't spoken to me."

He shrugged turning to continue walking away.

I looked over at Taehyung who was also confused, but nothing more could be said before we heard another voice.

"What do we have here?" I looked up to see Namjoon smirking, his eyes focused on the side of my neck as he slowly took each step down the stairs. "A new member of the family?"

"That's right Joon." Yoongi smiled. "And freshly mated."

"I can see that." He said, making it all the way to me. He was a bit taller and his hand ghosted over where my mark was, and I heard Taehyung growling under his breath. "Oh stop." Namjoon said, his eyes piercingly amused. "I would never harm your new mate."

"Do you accept me?" I asked him.

He was surprised at my bold question, but smiled all the same. "You are the mate of my mate's brother. Of course, I do."

"Good, because I'm not going anywhere."

"I would hope not." He replied. "Tae, I'll let you be the one to tell Jin."

As he walked towards the kitchen, as I assume to find Jungkook, I looked over to the rest of them. "What is such a big deal about Jin knowing? Why does it matter?"

"There are things about Jin that you don't know." Hoseok said, his voice calm and collected. "You'll find out on your own time."

Just then we heard the upstairs bedroom door slam, and Jin came stomping up to the top of the stairs. His eyes locked with mine, and I watched every emotion imaginable flash across them.

Surprise. Confusion. Relief. Anger.

His eye brows came together as he started descending down the stairs. "Look who decided to turn after all."

"What is that supposed to mean?" I asked.

"You were so dainty." He smirked. "So easily manipulated. I guess it took some good dick and the venom running through your veins to make a real woman out of you."

Tae when to speak but I interjected first, taking Jin by the shirt and slamming him up against the wall.

"I don't know what your problem is, but remember that you had to falsely gain my trust, making be believe we were friends and then seduce me in order to drink from me."

I saw the flame in his eyes start to intensify, and he reached up to take hold of my arm but I caught his wrist pinning it next to his head. His anger flared even more before he started shouting at me. "You think I needed to do that in order to have killed you. I didn't have to do any of that. I could have drank what was left and then left your body for Taehyung to clean up."

"Isn't that what you tried to do?" I said, making him stop talking and breath heavily. "Well it didn't work, did it? I survived." I let go of him stepping back, his face contorted with his frustration. He kept himself up against the wall, I'm sure holding back whatever anger he felt towards me and the words I used against him.

I turned my back on him, walking toward Taehyung. He regarded me carefully before I reached him, wrapping my arms around him. "What is it?" He whispered to me.

"I'm hungry." I smiled into his neck.

He laughed slightly, Jimin and Yoongi chuckling with me.

"Then let's go get you something to eat."
