' It's guarded'

' And the northern borders? Those are the most dangerous...' Daewoong said eyeing the map stretched over the table

' Most of the guards are assigned there.... Its safe and well guarded... But we can send more if you want' Yoongi said

' Yeah...and the newly recruited ones are also trained well to fight..if needed we can send more of our force to the borders... Even the group Namjoonie hyung was training, they are very skilled..' Jungkook said

They all were now in the King's private chamber where they were discussing the strategies for the upcoming war....with the rogues... It's not officially declared or something but they have received the threat a year back and now they have to be extra careful as they have started seeing unusual movements of werewolves from both outside and inside of Eleanor... Only Daewoong Seunghun Jungjin Jinhyuk Namjoon Yoongi and Jungkook knew about this.... Everyone saw how the security of the borders have been made tight recently...but all just casually took it since the eighteenth birthday of Prince Jimin is nearing...and all these are a part of it

' We can do that' Seunghun said ' Jinhyuk...you are unusually silent... what's the matter'

' It's just....are you sure they will attack from the north? I mean yes they have always did that..but will  they this time too?' Jinhyuk asked

' Yes... They will.. because the western border is the ocean they can't hide there for long and the East is Aramis....So Jisung will be a threat and The South.. it's the deserted part... open and barren.. steep with desert sand....even if they try to invade from there it won't be easy for them to move on the steep sand... So the Only option left is the northern borders..which are lined with the trees' Jungjin explained

' We are missing out something' Namjoon said pointing towards the map ' The northwest border... Its the bamboo forest.. they can easily hide and attack'

' How can we forget about that' Daewoong asked... how can he forget about that part in such a crucial time.. ' Tighten the security there too... And we can't make any mistakes this time.... Eleanor can't fall... Do what you can... Now start the preparations' 

' Yes alpha'  All of them said leaving behind just Namjoon Jungkook and Yoongi with Daewoong

' Appa' Jimin came running in smiling

' Yes my prince' Daewoong asked smiling

' Appa eomma is calling you... Saewoon shi is here.. you have to choose your robes for the feast..and you three also'

' Yeah we are coming..now kids rush off or else you have to see the wrath of your Luna' Daewoong said making them all laugh

They were about to leave when a whimper left Jimin's mouth as he held on to Namjoon for support

' Ji-' Jungkook stilled when he saw Jimin's eyes changing...his hair now all blonde and black..

Jimin left Namjoon's hand taking a step back as he said

The cup of wrath
Of their fury is up the brim...
Be wise
or loose Eleanor to the Grim...
The ones that belong to none
Have now become one...
They fear no land no splash
no sand of time
Act fast
Or Eleanor won't chime

All of them were rooted at their place... if it wasn't for Namjoon's fast reflexes Jimin would have fell down...

Namjoon made him lie down on the bed...all of them still in a trance... Jungkook saw how pale Daewoong went...

' Alpha..' Namjoon called...

' Not here' Daewoong said

Just then Bogum came ' Yoongi hyung you called?'

' Yes.. Chim fainted... I think he got over exhausted... Sit with him here.. we will be back' Yoongi said

Bogum instantly nodded as he went towards Jimin's side who looked tired...

Yoongi looked at Daewoong who just nodded

' Hyung' Bogum called ' Everything is fine right?'

' Ofcourse Bo...' Namjoon replied with a smile as they all left

' Alpha its the rogues' Namjoon said as soon as they came out of the chamber ' Rogues Don't belong to anyone...'

' Namjoon... inform Seunghun hyung Jungjin and Jinhyuk hyung about what happened now... Yoongi ah prepare the guards...and Jungkook take care no one gets any idea about what just happened... not even Jimin....he won't remember but if he asks anything make sure not to let him know.. also ask Jin if the infirmary is well equipped'

' Yes alpha' The three of them bowed

' And..' Daewoong stopped them ' Make sure to send extra guards for Taehyung'

Jungkook's heart dropped hearing that..he stared at the retreating figure of his father... A bad feeling settling down in the pit of his stomach as what Daewoong said rung in his head again again...

I won't let anything happen to him

______________

Jimin's birthday came much faster than expected... Feast was prepared... people gathered.... Eleanor was celebrating the coming of age of their Prince with all their hearts.....smiles and laughters were heard as they gathered....kids playing around...women chattering...men drinking....even the nice sunny weather with the cool breeze added to the celebration..

Everything looked too perfect...soo full of love and happiness....like the Utopia they have always wanted...

Jin and Inna were busy readying Jimin... while Tae sat there thinking how pretty his Jiminie hyung looked...

Jungkook and  Namjoon constantly checking upon the guards

Taehyung now came out.. skipping his way through the hall... searching for a certain someone when he was pulled back by his wrist making him stumble into a hard chest

' Am sure you will get me killed one day' Taehyung said glaring hard at the smiling trueblood

' No baby.... Not as long as am alive..no one can even touch you' Jungkook said leaning closer

Taehyung felt warmth rushing to his cheeks as he lowered his head

' But your cuteness will surely kill me' Jungkook laughed

' Why are you' Taehyung asked trying to change the topic

' Didn't see you anywhere... by the way..where are you off to?'

' I want to see appa' Taehyung said looking around

' Why?'

' I miss him'

' So you don't miss me?' Jungkook tilted his head

' Go away Kookie...tell me where appa is'

' He is outside... talking with the guards...you can meet him once he is here ok' Jungkook asked as he tucked a strand of hair behind Taehyung's ear

' Okk' He smiled widely...' Then am going back to Jiminie hyung'

' Taee' Jungkook called only to see a giggling Tae running towards Jimin's chamber Cute Jungkook thought smiling as he shook his head

After a while Jimin came in with Jin and Inna followed by Taehyung.... The gathered guests wishing him as he passed his heart stealing smile to everyone

' You look so beautiful Jimin ah' Yoongi said smiling widely

' Thanks hyung' Jimin blushed due to all the attention

' I hope you meet the one for you today' Yoongi said as he cupped on his cheeks.. making Jimin nod and smile bashfully ' I'll be back'

Yoongi went in search of Bogum and saw him talking to someone

'Bogum' Yoongi called him

' Yes hyung'

' When are you planning to let him know about your feelings?' Yoongi asked Crossing his arms over his chest

' Hyung...I' Bogum started hesitantly

' Look... Somethings are ought to be done at the earliest...all may not be as lucky as Jin hyung and Joon to find their mate in the one they love..nor as unlucky as me to never find one.... I don't want you to end up like me...if you love him tell him and make him yours..or else wait till you find the one'

' No hyung... Don't call yourself that' Bogum said ' You will soon find the one for you okk and am going to tell him now... I love him way to much to loose him now'

' Go fast then' Yoongi gave his infamous gummy smile

' Chim' Bogum approached him

' Bogumie hyungg' Taehyung hugged him... Bogum smiled as he hugged him back

' Chim I wanted to tell you something' Bogum began... He turned around to look at Yoongi who nodded encouragingly

' What is it Bo?' Jimin asked smiling

' Hyung...I.. I lo-'Bogum was cut off by someone

' My prince'

_____________

' We have to be more careful now.... Since the streets are all crowded an-'

' Alpha' A guard came running in cutting off Daewoong mid sentence  ' We are under attack'

Daewoong stilled....he turned around to see his whole family inside... smiling and laughing with each other

' Jungjin ready the guards.... Seunghun hyung and I'll see it outside...Namjoon Jinhyuk go inside... Yoongi is already there... All of our force must be ready...send them in all directions....'

All of them went immediately into action....with Namjoon and Jinhyuk ordering the guards inside the palace.... and Jungjin readying the rest of the guards

Daewoong linked Nayeon

Yeonie.... We are under rogue attack... Stay close to the children... I have to go see

' Am also coming' Nayeon immediately replied

' No you are not..stay there and protect them'

'I have sworn to be with you in everything alpha....'

' It's dangerous out there'

' Woong.... Dangerous or not... whatever it is...it is with you'

Daewoong sighed Come outside..am near the door

' And Jungkook' He turned towards his son ' Go inside..be with them... And remember your promise son'

' Appa' Jungkook felt a pang in his chest

' Kook ah...take care of you and them...appa eomma will be back' Nayeon said as she came out..

' And Jungkook' Daewoong called as he looked one last time at his family inside the palace....he saw the wide smile plastered on Jimin's face as he looked at Taehyung who was animatedly explaining something

' Yes appa'

' Don't let anything happen to Jimin and Tae'

_____________

Yoongi was waiting to see Bogum confessing when he saw the way Namjoon and Jinhyuk rushed in ordering the guards around... He felt a strange feeling settling in him as he linked Joon

' Joon...is it time?' He linked

' Yes' Came the reply

Yoongi immediately went towards Inna

' Eomma..we are under attack...we have to make the guest leave before they attack the palace'

Inna looked at him wide eyed...old memories coming back...
She nodded instantly as she started linking them asking them not to panic and leave through the backside of the palace where Namjoon has arranged special carriages...

Yoongi looked around and saw them all leaving slowly... Now I have to take the kids to a safe place He thought as his eyes searched for Taehyung and Jimin but stopped when he saw an unfamiliar man standing near Jimin with a frowning Bogum by his side

_______

' The carriages are ready...most of the guests are outside and Jungkook have made the next set of guards leave to' Namjoon said as he neared Jinhyuk

' Where is Jungkook?' Jinhyuk asked

' Inside'

' Guards close the doors' Jinhyuk ordered as he walked in with Namjoon

__________
' I'll just go in...check everything is fine and come' Inna said to Jin as they helped the guests leave

' Ok...' He mumbled

' Jinnie...' Inna frowned seeing him

' I can't loose you or anyone like how I lost my eomma... Please take care... I'll come in soon' Jin said

Inna smiled painfully.... The memory of Ara dying in an attempt to save Yoongi and Namjoon still stays fresh in her heart... She hugged Jin before rushing in

______

Koo please come in

Jungkook stilled in his tracks when he heard Tae's voice through the link...he could feel how scared the younger was just by his voice

' What is it Tae?Are you ok pup'

' Hyung'

Jungkook ran through the halls... praying to moon goddess to keep them all safe ....

________

My prince

Bogum turned around to see a man of nearly 20 standing there...

'Do we know you?' Bogum asked standing straight

The man looked at him with a calm smile.... making Bogum feel something a bit off

'Not yet...' He smiled again... ' Am Choi Jungwoo'

Taehyung was looking intently at the man.. but his heart stopped when he saw a yellow glint in Jungwoo's eyes...

He gripped on to Jimin's clothes trying to get his attention...

' My Prince' He again called.. making Bogum pissed

' You don't look like you are from Eleanor' Bogum intervened

' Am not....' Jungwoo said..his eyes not leaving Jimin's who was now squirming under his gaze

' What do you want' Bogum stood in front of Jimin.. covering him completely when he saw Jungwoo moving closer

' No one from outside Eleanor is allowed in here'
It was Yoongi who just approached them...' Then how are you here?'

By now the hall was clear of guests...with Namjoon and Jinhyuk coming in....Inna and Jin outside making sure all the guests left or not...

The tension in the hall was thick.. with the alpha pheromones all scattered in the air..

Taehyung felt his insides churning as he linked Jungkook asking for his help.... He tugged on to Jimin's sleeves again making him turn a bit

' What happened Tae?' Jimin whispered

' Hyung..his eyes' Taehyung whimpered all the pheromones were not helping him

Jimin snapped his head back towards Jungwoo who was now smirking

' Ah...you little one.... You are interesting' Jungwoo said stepping closer to Taehyung

' Don't you dare' Jungkook growled pushing Jungwoo back who just ran in and saw the commotion here.        ' Don't you dare step close to him'

Jungwoo just chuckled moving back a bit

' Now tell me....who are you' Jungkook said..his eyes glowing red now

' Why can't we get your scent' Namjoon asked with Jinhyuk by his side

' Finally someone noticed..' Jungwoo rolled his eyes...

' Say what you want before I rip you apart' Bogum growled

' We never break our promises...' Jungwoo said as he gripped on the chain around his neck ' It's finally time... For the fall of Eleanor' So saying he tugged off the chain from around his neck... throwing it to the ground

' Its a scent blocker' Inna whispered

Suddenly a strange scent filled there nostrils... A scent which can get on your nerves.. throwing you off mood

' Rogue' Yoongi declared

' Mate'

They all stilled.... Almost as if time Froze...no one dared to move a muscle.... This can't happen right

Bogum felt his breath stuck in his throat as he took a step away from Jimin so that he wasn't covered anymore.... He couldn't find it in himself to turn around and see Jimin

A gasp left Taehyung's mouth as he stepped away from Jimin whose deep blue were fixed on the rogue in front of them who had a dirty smirk plastered of his face....

' Mate' Jimin again said...his omega taking over...

' Yes my beautiful omega...am your mate' Jungwoo said smirking

' Don't' Bogum growled

Jimin unconsciously took a step forward...his omega talking over completely...the rest of them staring wide eyed... still shocked

' Jiminie hyung' Taehyung pulled harshly on Jimin's sleeves making him stumble.... Jimin blinked..his eyes turning back to normal as he looked around

' No' Jimin clasped his hands to his mouth when the realization dawned on him ' You can't be my mate' He said....anger raising by each second

' You can't decide that' Jungwoo said

' I can...and I will' Jimin yelled ' I don't care if I have to go through the pain of rejection'

' Don't you dare reject me ' Jungwoo lunged forward but was thrown to the ground by Bogum... Jungwoo gasped for air as Bogum's grip around his throat tightened

' Guards' Jinhyuk called but his heart dropped when he saw the men dressed as guards... slowly changing into their wolf forms.... And all of them being...rogues

' We've been betrayed ' Yoongi breathed out

A painful groan left Bogum's mouth when he felt a claw piercing through his biceps... He fell on the ground with a big grey wolf on top of him

Namjoon transformed..now Octavius standing there in his full glory as he ran forward pushing off Jungwoo's wolf from over Bogum

' Eomma.... Take the kids with you....go ' Yoongi as he prepared to change.... Jinhyuk already changed and was now fighting the rogues

' Koo' Taehyung whimpered..

' Baby I'll be back I promise'  Jungkook said as Phoenix took over

Inna took hold of both Jimin and Tae as they hid behind a big pillar...away from the hall...but they could still see the fight

They saw how the five werewolves fought against the rogues... They saw Phoenix attacking five rogues at a time while Zair ( Bogum's) and Cyrus ( Yoongi's) attacking Jungwoo's wolf together... Jinhyuk and Namjoon were struggling side by side..

The fight continued with many rogues being ripped apart.... Jungwoo now laid on the ground totally wounded as Zair and Cyrus helped the others....

' Noo' Jimin cried when he saw a wolf pinning down Namjoon who had come back to his human form...blood oozing out from every part of his body

' Hyungie' Taehyung clutched on to Inna as he saw his brother panting heavily....under the big grey wolf

The rogue raised his paws.. sharp claws protruding out... already crushing Namjoon under it's weight...Namjoon closed his eyes...ready to take the blow.. but all he felt was something wet spilling on his face and a heavy thud from his side...the weight over him long gone...He released a breath he was holding thinking Yoongi or the other's must have saved him..only to have it stuck in his throat when he heard Taehyung's heart wrenching sob

' Appaa' Taehyung yelled when he saw his appa's body going limp on the ground with a big claw mark through his neck

When Jinhyuk saw his son being pinned down he ran towards him without thinking anything,to kill the wolf.. clearly succeeding but in the process getting clawed himself on his neck..

Namjoon jolted up looking at his side.... Only to have his heart shattered to pieces seeing his appa drenched in his own blood... lying pale and lifeless

' Appa'
Jungkook and Yoongi stilled...they turned around and saw the scene unfolding.... Their heart hurted..as their wolf howled...

Taehyung wiggled out of Inna's hold and ran towards his appa's limp body when a big wolf jumped in front of him ready to claw him...he closed his eyes tight as a warm body wrapped itself around him.. which jerked a bit and a groan was heard

' Jin hyung' Taehyung cried hugging his hyung who now had a deep claw mark on his back but was still holding on to Tae shielding him from the wolf behind them

Another painful cry left Jin's mouth as he jerked again...his grip around Taehyung tightening

A loud growl left Octavius as he ran towards the wolf attacking his mate..ripping its head off.... Inna came out of the hiding as she held Jin...whose eyes were now slowly closing....

The whole atmosphere of the hall was unbearable....the walls and beautiful floors were now stained with blood as the rogue wolves laid dead.. their heads and limbs detached.... Jin laid breathing heavily on Inna's lap with a crying Taehyung by her side while the other Alphas fought the last of the rogues... The trueblood killing each of them like no tomorrow..
Namjoom transformed back into human as he took Jin's limp frame in his arms....

' Jinnie..hey listen...please' Namjoon cried... anguish taking over him for the death of his father and the misery of his mate

All the rogues laid scattered around dead...as Jungkook Yoongi and Bogum approached Namjoon..all covered in blood...

They wrapped a long cloth around Jin to stop the bleeding

In the middle of all this they didn't notice an injured Jungwoo approaching a shivering Jimin who was still hiding behind the piller.

Jungwoo pulled him out holding his wrist making the omega whimper in pain

' Told you...You can never reject me ' Jungwoo dug his canines into Jimin's neck breaking his delicate skin.

A painful scream erupted his throat grabbing the attention of the rest of them....

Yoongi's blood boiled...he lost Jinhyuk...his Jin hyung is fighting for his life and now Jimin..No

Yoongi ran towards them...his wolf form taking over as he jumped on top of Jungwoo... talking him along with him on to the ground.... An angry growl was heard as Yoongi ripped off Jungwoo's head from his body as blood splashed all around them...

Yoongi came back to his human form panting hard... He took Jimin in his arms...the younger screaming in pain due to the incomplete marking...

' Jimin.... it's ok....' Yoongi hugged him close as he rubbed his back with one hand...and with the other wiped of the blood from around the mark on his neck... Tears of helplessness flowing down his cheeks seeing Jimin's state

' Yoongi ah..... His marking is not completed..but he could still feel Jungwoo's pain ' Inna exclamed ' Jungwoo is dead.... That mating mark has to be removed or else he will die too....we can't loose him' Inna cried

' How can we remove the mark...The only way to cut off the bond was to reject' Bogum was quick to ask...he was panicking now

' There is only one another way' Inna said but before she could complete Yoongi answered

' To mark him again' So saying Yoongi bent down...his long canines now protruding out as he dug them deep into the screaming boy's neck...

He pulled out as licked the mark to stop the blood... He saw how Jimin's cries died down into small whimpers as he slipped into a state of unconsciousness.

' We can talk about this later....' Jungkook sais standing up ' Joonie hyung bring Jin hyung and Yoongi hyung... put Jiminie hyung on my back..am transforming... We have to take them to the infirmary... Jackson hyung is there. '

' How will we go' Inna asked

' The back door'

They did as Jungkook told them.... Namjoon left with Jin first.. followed by Jungkook.... with Inna leading the way after transforming

Before transforming Jungkook has asked Yoongi to take care of Tae and bring him safely... Bogum was standing quite all this time.. not even moving an inch from his place

' Tae let's go...Bog-' Yoongi fell down holding his cheeks where a harsh blow just landed..

Taehyung pressed his hand over his mouth to stop the sobs that were threatening to leave seeing Bogum's red burning eyes and Yoongi's pained expression

Yoongi's heart stopped when he heard what Bogum called him before running out...his heart clenching..as tears streamed down... He never thought things would ever go this wrong....he never thought that the Bogum who would follow him around would call him this... He never thought that he will change from being Bogum's Yoongi hyung to a  Traitor'
