The Kim Mansion

K I M   T A E H Y U N G ' S   P O V

The sky outside the large Windows of The Kim Mansion was an endless stretch of Gray, the clouds hanging low as if mirroring the storm raging within Kim Taehyung.

study room of the Kim mansion was dimly lit, the golden hue of the fireplace casting flickering shadows on the vast bookshelves lining the walls. Seated in the plush leather chair, Kim Taehyung exhaled deeply, his sharp gaze fixed on the night sky beyond the large window. The stars twinkled faintly, distant and unreachable—just like the woman who had consumed his every thought.

His fingers drummed against the mahogany desk, mind heavy with turmoil. His wolf, Vincent, aka V  stirred within him, restless and impatient.

“She’s ours,” V’s voice growled in his mind. “Why do we wait? Why aren’t we by her side? Why are we here instead of by her side?”, V growled impatiently....

Taehyung clenched his jaw. His Wolf had been incessant ever since he had marked Lilac. Even now, he could feel the distress rippling through their bond— her Hesitation and her  confusion.....

“Because she doesn’t trust us yet. You forced the bond upon her..” Taehyung thought bitterly. “ she has every right to reject us...”

“She is confused, not unwilling, She won't reject Us. ” V snapped. “She feels the bond too. I can sense her emotions—her fear, her hesitation. But she is also longing, Taehyung. She is lost.”

Taehyung ran a hand through his dark hair, his golden eyes narrowing. He had marked her in a moment of weakness, desperate to claim what was his. But what if she never forgave him? What if she rejected him, hated him? He could endure battles, wounds, and betrayals—but rejection from his mate? Now, That was a pain he feared more than anything.

“She will reject us if we don’t do something,” V warned, a low growl vibrating through his consciousness. “We need her, and she needs us.”

A soft knock interrupted his thoughts. Taehyung sighed, rubbing his temples before granting entry.  The door creaked open, and his mother, Lady Yuna , stepped in.

She wore a knowing smile, her long dark hair cascading over her shoulders, dressed elegantly in a silk robe. “You’re brooding,” she teased lightly, taking a seat across from him. “That’s never a good sign.”

Taehyung sighed, rubbing his temples. “It’s nothing.”

Lady Yuna  arched a brow. “Nothing? You’ve been staring out that window for hours, looking like a lovesick fool.”

Taehyung scowled, but his mother only chuckled, her expression softening. “It’s about Lilac, isn’t it?”

At her name, his wolf stirred again, and Taehyung looked away.

Lady Yuna sighed. “Taehyung, you marked her. She is your Luna now. Do you realize what that means?”

“I do,” he said, voice low.

“Then you know she’s in danger.”, Lady Yuna said with a montone voice.

Taehyung’s eyes snapped to hers, sharp and alert. Taehyung stilled. The idea of Lilac being in danger sent a sharp spike of possessiveness through him......

His mother smiled knowingly. “ See? You feel it, Don't you? The need to protect her, The Bond is already working? ”

He sighed, rubbing the back of his neck....

“She carries your scent now,” Lady Yuna explained. “Everyone will know she is yours—including rival packs, rogues, and anyone seeking to challenge your rule. The rogue attacks on neighboring territories aren’t a coincidence. If they discover that your Luna is unclaimed properly, unbonded, they will see it as a weakness.”

Taehyung’s hands curled into fists.

“You need to complete the mating ceremony,” she said firmly. “The sooner, the better.”

“I don’t want to force her,” he admitted, his voice barely above a whisper.

His mother’s expression softened. “Then don’t. Show her she is safe with you. Protect her, love her. Give her a reason to accept you.”

With that, she stood, resting a gentle hand on his shoulder before leaving the room.

Taehyung sat in silence for a long moment before his wolf spoke again.

“Go to her.”

And this time, he listened.

A  U  T  H  O  R ' S    P  O  V

The wind howled as Taehyung’s massive brown wolf leapt through the dense trees, his paws silent against the damp forest floor. The night was quiet, save for the rustling of leaves as he moved swiftly toward Lilac’s home.

As he neared her bedroom window, he shifted back into his human form for a brief moment, slipping inside with practiced ease. His sharp gaze fell upon her sleeping figure, bathed in moonlight. Lilac is curled up under the covers, her breathing soft and even....

She looked peaceful, but he could feel the turmoil within her.

Without a word, he shifted back into his wolf form and padded closer to her bed. His wolf, V, let out a low, satisfied rumble before carefully settling down beside her.

V whimpered in longing. “ Ours..... She belongs with Us...”

Slowly, he approached the bed and lay down beside her... His massive wolf form pressed against her warmth, his fur brushing against her skin. She stirred slightly but did not wake....

For the first time that night, Taehyung felt at peace.

[ N e x t   m o r n i n g]

Lilac groaned, shifting slightly in her sleep. A soft, fluffy sensation surrounded her, and unconsciously, she buried her face into it, sighing contentedly.

So soft... like a giant plush cushion...

Half-asleep, she pressed her lips against the warm, fluffy surface, nuzzling against it.

Then realization struck.

Her bed didn’t have a giant cushion.

Her eyes snapped open.

A massive brown wolf lay sprawled beside her, golden eyes blinking at her lazily.

Her scream shattered the peaceful morning.

Within seconds, the door burst open. Namjoon, her parents, and the house guards rushed in, alarmed.

Lilac scrambled back against the headboard, her heart pounding. “W-what is that?!”

The wolf let out a low, amused huff, his ears twitching as if he were laughing.

“Taehyung,” Namjoon muttered, narrowing his eyes.

The wolf made a low, apologetic sound directed at Lilac, his head lowering as if in remorse.

Lilac’s parents, however, chuckled at the scene. Her mother shook her head fondly. “Well, it seems our future son-in-law is quite attached already.”

Namjoon, however, was not amused. His gaze remained sharp as he watched the wolf.

---

After much convincing (and a forced shift back into his human form), Taehyung sat at the breakfast table, dressed in borrowed clothes courtesy of Namjoon—who clearly was not thrilled about it.

Lilac sat across from him, still recovering from the morning’s shock. She refused to meet his eyes, but Taehyung’s gaze never left her.

Her father cleared his throat. “Taehyung.”

Taehyung looked up. “Yes, sir?”

“Lilac is my daughter, and I expect you to treat her with nothing but respect.” His tone was firm, carrying the weight of his former Beta authority. “If you ever hurt her, you won’t just have to deal with Namjoon—you’ll deal with me as well.”

Taehyung nodded solemnly. “I understand.”

His mother-in-law smiled and placed some food on his plate. “Good. Now eat up, you’re family now.”

For the first time in years, Taehyung felt the warmth of a real home.

In Lycan Wolf Territory

Meanwhile, deep within the northern forests, Jungkook trudged forward, his body aching from the various traps laid around the cursed land.

Jimin and several pack warriors had accompanied him, but five had already perished. The air grew colder as they neared a dark cave hidden within thick, overgrown vines.

“This has to be it,” Jimin murmured.

Jungkook stepped forward, but the moment his foot crossed the entrance, searing pain shot through his body. He let out a guttural growl, his body burning as if set on fire.

Jimin grabbed him. “Alpha, stop!”

But Jungkook snarled, his fury overpowering the pain.

Suddenly, a voice echoed from within the cave. “What do you want, mutt?”

A woman emerged from the shadows. She was ethereal—long, dark hair cascading over her shoulders, eyes gleaming with a sinister glow.

Jungkook, panting, met her gaze with a desperate intensity.

“I want freedom from this cursed land,” he growled. “And I want my mate.”

The woman smirked. “Oh, how interesting. Then You'll need to pay a price you can't imagine?! But The thing is  can you really do this?? I hope, Alpha Jeon isn't like his Great Great Great Grandfather?! ”

Hearing the witch's mocking words, He growled in anger And Shouted, “ I Am Not Coward! I am Jeon Jungkook — The Alpha Of Lycan Wolf Pack..... I will stay true To my Words.....”

The witch is very satisfied by Young Alpha's answer..... Because of Alpha's desperation, She will get what she wanted....

π_____________π

The Night was eerily silent before the storm. The Silver Moon Pack, The Pack one of the Alliances with Credential Moon Pack and a certified Pack recognized by Ancient Temple Council, known for its peaceful existence, lay asleep under the full Moon’s gaze, unaware of the horror about to befall them.....

Shadows slithered through the tress, creeping closer to the unsuspecting town. Rogues — bloodthirsty, ruthless beasts with no allegiance, no morality — moved in perfect sync, their eyes glowing with Hunger for destruction.

A Deep, Guttural howl tore through the silence, and in an instant, chaos erupted.....

Fire. Blood. Screams.

The Silver Moon warriors fought bra
vely, but they are outnumbered. For every rogue they struck down, two more emerged. The smell of burning wood and flesh filled the air as homes were set ablaze, the flames painting the night in hues of crimson and orange....

The Alpha, A towering figure with silver- streaked hair , stood at the heart of the Battle. His knife was slick with blood, his claws extended, fangs bared. He roared, striking down rogue after rogue, but the enemy was relentless....

Then, the ground trembled.

A massive figure stepped forward, parting the sea of rogues like a God descending upon the battlefield. He was taller, broader, his presence suffocating. His dark predatory eyes scanned the chaos before settling on the Alpha.....

The King Of Rogues... The Alpha Of these Rogues....

A sadistic smirk curled his lips as he rolled his shoulders, his black armor glinting under the fire's glow. “ You fought well, Alpha..”, he mused, “ But this is where your reign ends... ”

The Alpha lunged, but the Rogue king was faster. In a blur of motion, he grabbed the Alpha by the throat, lifting him off the ground as if he were nothing more than a rag doll....

“ I always enjoy watching the light leave the eyes of Great men...”, the Rogue king murmured before his claws elongated — Swift, merciless — And tore through Alpha's chest.

A choked gasp left the Alpha's lips before his body went limp, blood dripping onto the charred earth. The once - mighty leader of the Silver Moon Pack lay lifeless in the Rogue king's grasp before he discarded the corpse like garbage.

A deafening silence followed.

The remaining warriors, seeing their alpha Fall, lost all hope. Some tried to flee, only to be cut down mercilessly. Others dropped their weapons, surrendering to their Fate..

Victory belonged to the Rogues....

In the heart of the burning town, inside what was once the Alpha's home, Luna Evelyn sat cradling her husband's lifeless body. Her delicate fingers trembled as they traced the bloodied wounds on his chest, her entire body shaking with the weight of her grief....

Tear streaked her once -radient face, her golden hair matted with soot and blood.... She rocked back and forth, whispering his name over and over as if saying it would bring him back...

Heavy footsteps echoed through the room.

Slowly, she lifted her head, her tear- filled eyes locking onto the towering figure before her ...

The Rogue king.

His dark eyes eyes gleamed with something dangerous — something vile— as he took in the sight before him.... He had seen many woman before, but none quite like her.... Even in grief, she was breathtaking. A Rare beauty wrapped in sorrow.

His lips curled into a smirk. “ such a waste..... All this love, all this loyalty, and for what? A man who couldn't even protect his own Pack.”

Evelyn's body went rigid. Slowly, she stood, her grief momentarily overshadowed by the rage burning in her chest..... She clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms until they bled....

“ You're Nothing but a coward, ” she spat, Her voice trembling with fury. “ A filthy, worthless beast who preys on the weak because you could never build anything of your own. ”

The room fall deathly silent.

The Rogue king's smirk faltered, his eyes darkening, lips pressing into a thin line. He took a step forward, the air growing suffocating with his rage....

“ Repeat that, ” He demanded, his voice dangerously low.

Evelyn lifted her chin defiantly, her hatred burning bright. “ You are a pathetic excuse for a king. ”

A sharp growl tore from his throat, but Then — he smiled. It was cold, merciless....

“ If I am so pathetic, let's see how much weaker you can become...”, He turned slightly, motioning towards the doorway.....

Two rogues entered, dragging along with two small figures.

Evelyn's heart stopped.

Her children.

Her son, no older than ten, his face bruised, his clothes tattered. Her daughter, barely six, clutching onto her brother's arm, eyes wide with fear.....

“No....” Evelyn whispered, her knees buckling.....

The Rogue king crouched in front of the terrified children, titling his head as he studied them. “ You See, Luna, ” he mused, “ I don't like disobedience. ” His gaze flickered back at her. “ And I don't tolerate insults. ”

Evelyn dropped to her knees. “ please. ” she sobbed. “ They're just children..”

He grinned. “ That's The Thing, Luna.... They're just children... Your Children.... This Pack's Future Heirs..... Then this will be a lesson in obedience..... ”

In one Swift motion, he grabbed the boy by the hair, yanking him upward. The child let out a strangled cry, his small hands desperately clawing at the Rogue king's grip.

“ STOP! PLEASE!!! I ...I WILL DO ANYTHING..!! ”, Evelyn Screamed, scrambling forward.

But it was too late..

A sickening crack echoed through the room as the Rogue king snapped the boy's neck with ease ...

The lifeless body crumpled to the floor.

A blood -curdling scream tore from Evelyn's throat...

Her Daughter sobbed uncontrollably, backing away — but there's no escape.

The Rogue king reached down, his fingers curling around the small neck of the little girl.....

“ Say  Goodbye To Mommy ~ Little one...”, The Rogue king said with cold smirk.....

Evelyn lunged, but a warrior grabbed her, Yanking her back as she trashed violently...

Her daughter's frightened eyes were the last thing she saw before — snap ....

The world stopped..

Evelyn's body went numb, her screams dying in her throat. A broken, strangled sound escaped her lips as she collapsed to the ground.....

The Rogue king licked the blood off his fingers before turning to his warriors....

“ Take Her To my Chamber.... ”, He ordered coldly. “ She is Mine now. ”

Evelyn's world shattered.

Her voice, once filled with fury and fire, was now gone...

Her children were dead.

Her husband was gone.

And she...

She had become nothing more than a prisoner of the Man Who had stolen everything from her.....
