"He's right." I said, looking down. Shame filling me.

"About?"

"I consented with Jin." I admitted. "I thought...he said...I just...." I was so flustered. I didn't want to admit that I was charmed so easily. How pathetic would I sound?

"You don't have to explain." Tae responded; his voice hurt. I looked back up to see that he was looking at my neck. "I know what the venom does, and I know that I didn't exactly leave you in a position to refuse what you thought was help. But if it means anything, I didn't mean to."

"I wont leave." I said to him, making his eyes snap back to mine. "I won't." I assured him.

"Why?"

I shrugged. "I don't really know."

His eyes lingered over my neck again before he licked his lips and spoke. "I can't guarantee your safety. But I trust Jimin."

"Should I trust Jimin?"

"You can." He responded, his eyes still on my neck.

"Are you hungry?" I asked him, and he smiled.

"I might be."

I stepped forward and pulled the shirt off of my body, standing there in just my bra and shorts. He eyed me with a different kind of hunger, and I couldn't help but smile with a small inner victory. "Just don't get blood on my brand-new bra."

"I can always get you a different one." He grinned.

"I like this one." I smiled, making him roll his eyes.

I pulled my wet hair to the side standing flush to him. He ran his fingers over the expansion of skin there, softly kissing the base of my neck. "I won't be able to give you too much venom. Not with the rest of them waiting on us. I want you level minded. So, it may hurt more than other times."

"Okay." I nodded with a soft voice.

With one more soft kiss he scrapped his fangs against my skin. Then the piercing pain caused me to gasp, tighten my grip on his arms, and shut my eyes so tightly. Maybe if I couldn't see the pain it would go away.

I felt slight relief after a few moments which made the interaction more bearable. He had one hand holding me from my back and the other holding my head in place so I wouldn't move.

I felt his lips pucker and a very soft pressure before the feeling of my blood flow increased. He took only a few gulps before he let go. Keeping me still with the hand on my head, he pulled his other one up, nicked his finger with his fang, and rubbed his blood over the puncture wounds.

They disappeared within seconds. His hand went back to my back and my head lulled a bit from the blood loss.

"You okay?"

I nodded. "Yeah."

"Thank you." He smiled.

"No problem." I breathed.

Honestly, I wasn't dazed by the blood loss or the small amount of venom. I was dazed by the feeling of his lips and his tongue lapping over my skin.

It was erotic.

"If we don't go out there, they are going to come looking for us. And I really don't want them to send Yoongi to find you."

"O-oh..."

"Ready?" He asked, stepping back and taking my hand.

"S-sure."

I was so nervous I couldn't talk straight.

Seven.

There were seven vampires.

And Jin was one of them.

And this one Yoongi? Didn't Jimin say he'd want to bathe in my blood?

What the fuck?

I followed him out of his bedroom into a very dark hallway. The lights were very dim, and I'm not sure if his bedroom was just brighter, or my eyes were adjusting, but it was difficult to see. We passed a few doors but ultimately ended into a very large living room space.

It was very darkly decorated, but you would never know this place was inhabited by vampires. It was clean, organized, and set up as any normal person. There was a gaming system, huge speakers, and a very large sectional couch that had to be as big as my apartment is long.

But, I couldn't pay too much attention to that.

Since there were six pairs of eyes staring at me and Tae and I made it into to room. My eyes immediately found Jimin, who sent me a flying kiss and a wink, the man next to him smirking at me with an open mouth and his tongue making a clicking noise. I didn't realize that Jimin was on another man's lap until he moved. The one he was sitting on had no expression on his face, at all, and in truth he looked bored.

"Doll face, this is Yoongi," He introduced to the one liking his lips. "...and this is Hoseok." Gesturing toward the one who was expressionless. "They are my mates." He turned to Yoongi wiggling his eye brows. "I told you she was a beauty."

"I bet she tastes just as good." He replied.

"Don't even fucking think about it. She's mine." Tae interjected.

"I promised I wouldn't taste. Doesn't mean I can't imagine it though." He replied.

"You like sweet things done you Yoongi?" Jin spoke, startling me. I turned towards him, and he was leaning into another man who was studying me closely. "You'd love her if you do."

"Baby, let's not talk about that. You can see how it upsets your brother."

Jin rolled his eyes before looking back at me. "Faye, baby, this is Namjoon." He introduced. "He is my mate, and our clan leader. What he says goes."

I nodded and looked over to him. He tilted his head slightly before his eyes left me, and turned to Taehyung. "So what are your plans?"

"With what?" Tae replied, his tone very rude.

He had a tight grip on my hand, and it started to hurt. I wasn't really paying attention to the conversation that was happening in front of me. I was more focused on the creatures I was looking at.

They all seemed so human. Some of them pale, some of them tanned. I guess Jin wasn't kitting when he said most of the legends were fake. As I scanned over each one of them I tried to pay attention to their posture, their manarisms, as well as their reactions. But one by one, I felt like I was missing something.

Jimin...his mates Yoongi and Hoseok.

Jin...his mate Namjoon.

Tae...

Didn't they say there were seven of them?

"You look like you want to say something." Namjoon said, brining my focus back on the conversation.

"No." I said shaking my head.

"She's so timid." Yoongi snarled. "My favorite."

"She's feistier than you think Yoongs." Jimin defended. "But wouldn't you keep quiet if you were outnumbered by creatures who could easily kill you?"

"Still." He said adjusting a bit. "I like her."

"She's mine." Tae emphasized again.

"Yeah, I fuckin get it." He replied, slouching back into the couch.

Tae pulled me in front of him, wrapping his arms over my chest. "Is this pointless meeting over?" He asked.

"No." Namjoon said with a firm voice. He stood and Jin fell into the chair he was in. "You have yet to let us know your intention."

"What is it to you?"

"I'm responsible for this clan. You have an obligation to tell me any decision you make when it affects all of us."

"How does this affect you?"

"Does she have family? A job? Boyfriend?" I felt Tae hold me tighter at the word 'boyfriend.' "Is anyone going to be looking for her? Did she have a cell phone on her when you took her? Did you leave evidence of an abduction?"

"No." I spoke up, immediately regretting it when Namjoon looked at me with the intense glare he was giving.

"Speak up." He commanded, Tae, taking a step back.

"Fuck you, Joon."

"I can answer." I spoke up, Tae pulling me even further away. I felt his body tense up, but he stopped when it felt like he bumped into something.

"Fuck!" He let out, a yawn following after.

"Why didn't anyone wake me up to meet Tae's girlfriend."

"It's not his girlfriend." Jimin replied.

"Whatever." He said as I saw him walk from behind Taehyung. "Oh, she's pretty."

"And she was just about to give us a few details." Namjoon said, sitting next to Jin. The guy we just ran into immediately sat down in front of them, Jin kissing him on the lips.

"Jungkook is our other mate." He explained, his eyes basically glowing.

"You have more than one partner?"

"Its typical for most vampires to have to mates."

"Oh."

"Faye, tell us what we need to know. And Tae, no one is going to harm her. You can come sit."

I felt the hesitation in Tae's body, and I was torn. I wanted to listen; I didn't need powerful vampires pissed at me. But I didn't want to go against Tae's wishes. Luckily, he gave me the option.

"Are you sure you're comfortable?" He whispered in my ear.

I nodded, reassuring him that it was fine.

At least...I hope it would be.

We walked back over to the group and sat across from them. I mentally prepared myself since Jimin was ginning widely just the same way Yoongi was, and Jin stared at me with a cold expression.

"Is anyone looking for you?"

"Um...well my boss is probably wondering why I haven't showed up to work. But I doubt she is looking for me."

"What family do you have?"

"None." I said, my tone unintentionally sad. "I grew up in foster care and my cat died recently. So I have no one."

"No boyfriends."

I felt Tae tense again, it making me grin a little. "No. I have been single or quite a while."

"You have no one?" Jimin interrupted.

I shook my head, but kept quiet. It was a truth I didn't like to talk about a lot.

"You're hot, why not?" Jungkook asked.

I heard a low rumble in Tae's chest, but I don't know if it was heard for the rest of the room. So, I placed my hand on his knee in a comforting manner before I answered. "My job takes up the majority of my time. My boss is very needy and makes me do both of our jobs most of the time."

"Cunt." Yoongi commented.

"No kidding." I agreed.

"You will die if I find out you're lying to me. I'll let drain you properly." Namjoon said, making Jin turn to him with anger in his eyes.

"No one is looking for her." Tae said. "We will be fine; can this be over?"

"No." Namjoon responded. "Why do you want to keep her from us so badly? We are you family."

"Some family." He snorted. "Jin almost killed her."

"That is in the past. We told you no one would hurt her, so you don't have to keep her hidden away in your bedroom. She can be out and about with us."

"No thanks." He replied.

"I think you should let her decide that." Hoseok said. It being the first thing he said.

I looked up at him, and he was looking right at me. Why do they all stare so much?

"I agree." Jimin said, standing and walking over to us. He plopped down on the space next to where I was sitting, Taehyung on the other side of me. "What do you think doll face?" He asked. "Do you want to be cooped up in Tae's room all day every day until he accidently kills you, or do you want to have free roam of the house?"

"Um..." I didn't know what to say. I didn't want to be cooped up in the bedroom. But I also didn't want to upset Taehyung.

Taehyung's hand raised and he gently turned me to face him by my chin. "Be honest." He said to me, his eyes boring into mine.

"It would be nice to be able to walk around. But I won't leave you."

He nodded and let out a sigh. His eyes closed and he pinched the bridge of his nose as if thinking about something deeply.

"Fine." He said looking back up to Namjoon who was waiting. "I wont lock her in my room. But she is mine. Mine. Don't fucking touch her, any of you." He said, stopping at Jimin.

He was smiling and nodded. "What if I want to hug her?" Jimin asked. "Shouldn't she be able to hug me if she wants."

"No."

"Tae." Namjoon scolded. "We may not be human but we don't treat anyone the way you are treating her." His words made me pay better attention and I turned toward him.

"Fucking tell you mate that." Tae rebutted, and I saw Jin look down and vulnerable, but it was only for a moment before his ignorant smile returned.

"Jin is receiving punishment." Namjoon said, making Jin roll his eyes.

His emotions seemed to be all over the place.

"If that doesn't include immense pain and suffering it isn't good enough."

"Trust me it does." Namjoon replied making Jin look up at him. He stormed out of the room towards the opposite side that Tae and I came from. The entire room was silent until we heard a very loud slam, and something that sounded like broken glass.

"I fucking swear if he broke my figurine I'm going to be pissed."

"Jungkook, shut up." Namjoon said, his tone serious. He then looked back over to me. "I hope you know how lucky you are to have lived. Welcome to the Clan."
