(Protect!!!!)

 Meeting her the first time. 

~~..~~

8 years later 

"So, I assume you understood what I said Prince Jungkook."  A stern cold voice spoke making the poor boy to straighten his back. He closed his eyes and tried to put all his focus all on his mind as he was told. All he could think about was how to activate his wolf self. 

Prince Jungkook was at the age where he should start getting used to the shift from his wolf to human. In battle field that is the most difficult thing. Linking mind with your own wolf which is why the royals used to train their children these technique during a small age. 

"Now, I only want your wolf to show his eyes."  The deep voice rang inside the boy's ear as he slowly opened his eyes catching the eyes of his instructor Sir Namjoon. 

The smile on Namjoon's face reflected the answer to the training. Prince Jungkook stood their with his golden color doe eyes. 

"Well done, Just like always. You are able to control your wolf really well." 

The eight year old Jungkook gave his bunny smile before he walked up to the man and hugged him. "Thanks for taking your time to teach me Sir Namjoon. I really appreciate it." 

Namjoon's dimple on both of his cheek deepened as he hugged the little boy back. Patting his back with pride.

"I did nothing. It's the fruit of your intense practice prince. Now go have fun with your friends. Practice over." 

Not wasting any more time, Jungkook ran out after saying a small bye. Finally he can visit the secret hideout which he found with his friends Taehyung and Jimin near the Jung's territory.

It was just something about that river, he felt so attached to it. The purity of the place always made him feel so calm and relaxed. 

~~..~~

The number of guards standing outside the castle was double the number what it is usually. The kingdom seemed so quiet as they were all invited to the ceremony being held in the palace. It was Prince Minho's birthday today. 

The smiles on everyone showed how much they were happy. The chuckles and talks filled huge hallway. The royals from every other kingdoms were there to congratulate the little eleven years old prince. 

The most happy was the sister. Her shiny red royal dress hugged her small eight year old body as she stood next to the other princess.

She smiled seeing her brother being excited receiving gifts from everyone. The way he was jumping on every gift made her happy. Looking down, she held her own gift she was going to give her brother but it seemed that it was not as good as the others. 

A necklace she made by herself. 

Would he like it?- 

"Princess, would you like anything to eat?"  Suddenly a the voice of the maid scared her. The old maid looked at the smaller girl sitting quietly between her friends. A small smile made way on Yunmi's  innocent face. 

She wasn't hungry. So seeing her head shaking as a no, the lady bowed and left. 

From far away the king and queen kept looking at their daughter worriedly. 

From the two Jung children. Everyone in the Jung royal family were more protective over the princess. Whether it be usual parental instinct of being more attached to the girl but it was also because the poor girl could not tell her feelings to anyone. 

She would be quiet unless you would ask her so they had to take extra care and keep asking the girl. 

The eight year old Yunmi stood up. She looked at the other princess who were too busy talking to each other. She touched on one of the princess's shoulder to get her attention to them she wanted to leave.

But it was as if they didn't care at all and kept talking. Ignoring the girl. 

Turning around, she walked out of the hallway where the party was being held. The king and queen were busy with taking to the other ministers. However, the guards were keeping an eye on the little princess as they were told. So they quietly followed behind her. 

Her hand held the necklace in her hand as she made her way to the balcony. But then she heard sound of footsteps behind her. 

Knowing that she was being followed. She tried to trick them by turning quickly and hiding behind the wall of the balcony. The guards also turned around the corner but they didn't see the princess. 

It made them freeze on the spot as they looked around the place.  

"Where did Princess Yunmi go?" One of the guard asked worriedly. They all walked passed the balcony. Running to the other side to see where the girl went. 

A silent giggle left from her mouth as she saw them running away. Shaking her head she turned around.

Now facing the magnificent view the front. The princess smiled seeing bright moon and stars shining so brightly. Her hands went up as she felt the wind brushing against her skin making her chuckle. 

Her eyes were now closed. 

Suddenly, she started hearing another heartbeat which wasn't hers. It was becoming loud and clear each second. It was scaring her. Opening her eyes swiftly she looked around to find no one but when her eyes looked down the balcony, she saw golden pair of eyes staring right back at her. 

His friends were pulling him back but he just stood their staring right back at the princess. His hair moving to the side with the wind. 

"You are going to get us in trouble again! Let's leave! Taehyung is waiting for us."  Jimin, the ministers son spoke as he pulled the little prince. 

Yunmi blinked her eyes looking at the scene in front. She wasn't aware of what was happening to her. The feeling of hearing another heartbeat. The golden doe eyes of his were making her stay on her place. She couldn't move. 

"Princess Yunmi!!" 

Queens voice was heard making her break the staring contest. She turned to look back to see her mothers worried face but when she faced front. He was gone. 

Along with his friend.

"Are you okay princess?" The queen got down on her knees. Not caring about her expensive gown. The little girl stood their confused. But then nodded to answer her mother. 

The queen kissed her forehead. Before she got up and held the girls hand. 

"Let's leave." 

Taking the girl away from the balcony, they walked down to the hallway where the ceremony was being held. The girl held her mothers hand tightly. 

"Princess. You worried me." King Hoseok let out in his worried voice as he took the girl in his arms and kissed her cheek making the girl to smile at her father. 

"Don't do that a-" 

King Hoseok's were stopped as he now payed attention to the girl's eyes. His eyes widened as he looked at his wife who looked at the king confused. 

"She met her mate."
