"NO! MINGI!" Yunho shouted as he saw one of the vampire rogues pierced Mingi's chest and rushed to his fallen mate before killing the rogue. "No no no! Wake up, baby!" Yunho tried to heal Mingi but his wound won't close, making Yunho panicked even more. Yunho tried again but the wound was still not closing up and he cried out when he saw all the blood keep pouring out of Mingi's chest. Yunho stopped healing when Mingi's eyes faded away and slumped on Mingi's chest, crying loudly.

Yunho woke up with a gasp. He quickly turned Mingi over and patted the vampire's chest, making sure that his mate was not wounded, making Mingi stirred from his sleep. Mingi held Yunho's hand and his sleepiness vanished when he felt Yunho's shaking hand, sitting up on the bed and yelped for a bit when Yunho flopped down onto him. "Baby? What's wrong?" Mingi asked, running his hand on Yunho's back. "Y-you died.. I couldn't h-heal you.." Yunho sobbed, burying his face in Mingi's neck as he tried to calm down.

"I'm alive, baby. I'm right here. Did you have a nightmare?" Mingi ran his hands through Yunho's hair comfortingly as Yunho nodded, still hiding in Mingi's neck, inhaling his Alpha's scent greedily. "It's just a dream, bub. Nothing happened." Mingi consoled the hybrid softly but Yunho shook his head as he still remembered every detail about the dream. "T-this one feels d-different, Mingi.. It f-felt so r-real.." Yunho mumbled before pulling away and went to Minho's crib to pick the sleeping baby up and brought him to the bed.

Mingi made some space for the baby in the middle of the bed as Yunho put him there and laid back down. "You want to sleep with Minho tonight?" Mingi asked, caressing Minho's cheeks lightly as Yunho nodded, putting his hand on Minho's stomach as he tangled his feet with Mingi's. "I can't shake the feeling that something is going to happen.. I just want you and him to be safe.." Yunho sighed softly, closing his eyes and Mingi smiled fondly, reaching for Yunho's head with his hand and caressed him until both of them drifted to sleep.

"Guys, wake u- OW!" San hissed as he was thrown a few feet away from the bed and huffed. San shook his head in amusement when he heard Minho giggled from the bed, looking at him with wide round eyes as Yunho blinked at him sleepily. "Sanie? Are you okay? What happened?" Yunho mumbled as San stood a little bit further away from the bed, in case he would be thrown again. "Minho used his power again. I was only going to wake you guys up." San explained and Yunho widened his eyes and quickly sat up on the bed, pulling San closer to him so he could check if Minho had injured him.

"Are you injured?" Yunho asked though he already scanned San's body and found nothing but he wanted to be sure. "I'm fine. You guys need to get up though, Lord Hwan wants all of us to meet the vampires of the south. They arrived last night." San explained and Yunho nodded his head and shook Mingi's stomach. Mingi groaned but he opened his eyes sleepily and looked at Yunho in question. "We need to get up and meet the vampires of south." Mingi grumbled and hid his face under his pillow, making Yunho giggled. "Come on, Mingi. Get up. Do you want to bath Minho?" Yunho asked as Mingi rubbed his eyes with his fist as he sat up on the bed.

Mingi hummed before speaking, "Let's just bath together, we can save some time." Yunho smiled, nodding his head as he picked Minho up. "We'll wait for you guys in the living room, kay." San said and teleported out of the room. They bathed quickly, fortunately Minho didn't throw any tantrum when in the bath so they could get ready faster than usual. They met up with the others in the living room and San teleported all of them to the Sanctuary's main building. Minho giggled once they arrived, clapping his hands excitedly while Yunho had to blink his headache away, he still doesn't like it whenever he had to be teleported. Mingi gave him a bit of his blood to stop the headache as they walked to the main hall.

"Prince and my noble warriors, meet Lord Jin and his clans, the vampire of the south." Lord Hwan said as soon as they arrived in the hall, waving for them to meet the vampires. Yunho huffed subtly as Lord Hwan called him prince and bowed to the other vampires, wearing a small smile. "Nice to finally meet you, prince and the others. Is that your firstborn? Can I hold him?" Lord Jin said excitedly, already making grabby hands towards Minho while failing to see the scared look on the baby's face.

"No! Wait my lord!" Yunho was about to stop Lord Jin from getting closer to Minho who was in Mingi's arm but he wasn't fast enough as Minho felt scared by the new people and lashed out his powers. Lord Jin and all of the south vampires yelped when they flew a few feet away from ATEEZ and hissed when their bodies burned. Yunho widened his eyes and quickly healed everyone that was burned before furiously apologizing to them. "I'm so sorry! I was about to warn all of you that my firstborn is not fond of new people and will use his power whenever he feels threatened or scared.."

"He can already use his power?? How old is he??" Siwan, Lord Jin's mate asked while looking at Minho in awe. Mingi was trying to calm the crying baby down as Yunho answered. "About 9 months, my lord." They widened their eyes at the information as Lord Jin pouted, looking at Minho with sad eyes. Yunho saw this and went to Minho who had calmed down while burying his head in Mingi's neck. "Honey, these people are not bad people. They are just like your dada and your other uncles." Yunho explained to Minho softly.

"Dada? 'ncles?" Minho tilted his head curiously before staring at them. Yunho nodded softly, threading his fingers through Minho's hair as he let the baby watch the other vampires for a moment. Lord Jin then walked closer and smiled softly at Minho as Minho watched him curiously and after a while, he made grabby hands towards the vampire and Lord Jin squealed in delight before taking Minho into his arms.

"You're so little yet your power is very strong, little one!" Lord Jin made funny faces, eliciting a giggle from Minho. Yunho fondly smiled at Minho as he lay his head on Mingi's shoulder and the Alpha wrapped his arm around Yunho's waist. Siwan then let his mate play with Minho as he walked towards them and bowed down at Yunho, with his hand on his chest. Yunho widened his eyes as he flailed his hands.

"Please don't bow down to me. I'm just a mere hybrid.." Yunho blushed but Siwan only smiled softly, shaking his head. "Your father once saved me and my mate. We're indebted to him so this is actually why we wanted to see you so much and came here." Siwan started before continuing, "We heard that the Sanctuary will have another war, so we want to help."

Yunho gaped as Lord Hwan smiled. "Thank you, my lord. That would be very helpful." Lord Hwan said and the vampires of the south smiled, nodding their heads. Minho got tired of Lord Jin, crying for Yunho. "Mama! Mama!" Minho cried, making grabby hands towards the hybrid and Yunho rushed to him. Lord Jin gave Minho back to Yunho as the hybrid bounced his baby to calm him down. Mingi stroked Minho's hair as the pup hid his face in Yunho's neck.

"Since all of you come here to help, I will assign your spot and time for patrolling around the bother. We also have practices in the training ground if any of you want to practice as my mate told me that the war will occur soon. Our top priority is of course, protecting my prince and his family. I don't care how long I will have to wait but I want my prince to take over this Sanctuary as our King was his father." Lord Hwan said while looking straight at Yunho, making the hybrid sighed softly.

"I'll think about it, my lord.. I'm still standing with my opinion that it's better for you and Hyunil to manage this Sanctuary as I'm the youngest here and didn't have many experiences." Yunho explained but Lord Hwan only chuckled. "We didn't have many experiences when this Sanctuary was established too, prince but I understand and will keep persuading you until you give in. You're our most powerful hybrid anyway." Yunho huffed cutely, puffing out his cheeks making the other vampires laugh fondly.

"Mama, h'ng'y." Minho bounced in Yunho's arm and the hybrid cooed at his son. "Hungry? Do you want blood or milk, sweetie?" Yunho asked and Minho tilted his head, thinking before speaking excitedly. "'lood!" The south vampires look at them in awe. "He's only 9 months yet he understands so much?? He could even speak quite well!" Siwan said as the other south vampires nodded their heads in agreement.

"We're surprised ourselves, actually." Mingi explained and Hyunil came forward with a very proud face. "It might be because his parents are very powerful. It's inherited." Hyunil said, making Yunho and Mingi blushed while giving them a shy smile. "Minho will no doubt be powerful like his parents too. I can't wait for his presentation but from what I learn from Shin and Ray, looking at how Minho seems to be very protective towards his parents, that he might be an Alpha." Hyunil continued further.

"We thought about that too. Yunho had told us that he was very different from Minho when he was a baby and we also think that Minho will present as an Alpha." Seonghwa said and they all nodded their heads. "An Alpha vampire? Minho is really something. We can't wait for him to grow up!" Lord Jin said before Lord Hwan cleared his throat. "Let my prince feed his son. ATEEZ, you guys may go now and as for the guests, we will have a little bit more meeting for patrolling and such."

ATEEZ bowed to the rest of the vampires before walking out of the hall. "Mama!! H'ng'y!!" Minho whined and Yunho giggled. "Okay okay. Sanie? Can you teleport us back home?" Yunho asked as he knew that aside from him, Mingi and Minho, the others have tasks to do. San nodded his head and grabbed Yunho and Mingi before teleporting back to their house and Yunho groaned as the headache came back while San giggled.

"I'll see you guys tonight, bye little Minmin! Uncle will play with you when I've done my work okay!" San cooed at Minho before teleporting back to the main hall. Yunho flopped down on the couch, Mingi sitting next to him as Yunho cut his forefinger before feeding Minho while Mingi cut his own forefinger and told Yunho to drink his blood.
