Thal was silent as she and Taehyung rode in a cab towards the ocean. The closer the car got to the beach, the more suspicious she became, but the car turned down the main shopping street before she could ask to be taken home.

Once Taehyung had paid the driver, they got out of the car and he led her to a cute little boutique with unique but pretty clothes on mannequins in the window. She probably couldn't pull any of them off, but Hana could for sure.

"This is going to prove everything you said is real?" She said sarcastically, wishing she was back home, "Trying clothes on?"

Taehyung lifted an eyebrow in response and pushed the door open. The small tinkle of a bell sounded and one of the most beautiful women Thal had ever seen stepped out from behind the counter.

"Welco- Taehyung!" The woman gasped, looking over at Thal with wide eyes, "You did it!"

Taehyung put his hand on the small of Thal's back and gently guided her inside. Thal stepped away, but unlike Jungkook, Taehyung did not seem offended.

"Thal, this is Larissa, the owner of this shop-"

"Boutique," The gorgeous redhead corrected.

Taehyung ignored her, "Larissa, this is Thalassa,"

Larissa quickly moved towards Thal and dropped down to one knee, head bent low, "My Princess, it is an honour to finally meet you,"

"Ah- uh- What?" Thal panicked, looking at Taehyung for support.

"She isn't used to that yet, get up," He said, "We are here to use your basement. She doesn't believe me about who we are,"

Larissa jumped back up, a smile on her face, "Of course! This way, Princess, you're going to love my pool. It takes soo much upkeep but it is necessary and completely worth it,"

Speechless, Thal allowed the woman to lead her behind the desk and into the back room. A door she hadn't noticed was opened and she took a deep breath before following her down the stairs into the dark.

"What did you do?!" Hyunwoo cried, grabbing his younger brother by his upper arms. He was much larger than Jimin and known well for his strength and skill with weapons.

"I- I just- I," Jimin stammered as thoughts of that night with Bee resurfaced, "She told me not to but... Hyunwoo, I love her so much! He stole her from me and forced her to pair with him and carry his young! She still wears my necklace and he even calls her by the name I gave her!"

"Shit," Hyunwoo said, releasing him, "Jimin, he's going to kill you! They're already close! Jimin, I know she was your destined mate, but she belongs to the Poseidon now!"

Jimin took a deep breath, "She will never belong to him. She is not in love with him. She belongs with me!"

Hyunwoo glanced out of the front door of their home, "They're here," He said softly.

A loud call sounded from outside, and by the power and anger in the voice, they knew it was the Poseidon.

"Come out, now!"

Hyunwoo turned to his younger brother.

"If she really is your destined mate," He said softly, "Then you will save her in the end,"

He straightened and went out the door, halting when he saw that their home was surrounded by the Poseidons soldiers.

"I am looking for Jimin," The king spoke, his voice both calm and commanding.

"You have found him," Hyunwoo said, drawing his sword from his hip.

The Poseidon grinned, a cold smile that didn't reach his eyes, "Good. You will die for your sins-"

"No!" Jimin rushed forward, straight into the arms of two soldiers, "No, don't! You're no match for him, Hyunwoo! I am Jimin!"

The Poseidon narrowed his eyes, but before he could speak, Hyunwoo spoke clearly.

"You cannot protect me, Hyunwoo," He said, "Your lies will fool no one,"

The Poseidon glanced at Jimin and gave a brief nod. A soldier fell out of line, drawing a sword. Before Hyunwoo could react, he slashed the sword across Jimin's chest, cutting him from his collarbone down to the opposite hip.

"Do not lie to me," Hoseok snarled, "I would kill you, but I think burying your treasonous brothers headless body will he punishment enough,"

He drew his sword and moved towards Hyunwoo, "Jimin, you are hereby sentenced to death for forcing young into my Queen while she was vulnerable and alone. Know that your daughter will be Queen one day, but she will never know you as more than the violent rapist that you are. That's if I don't kill her upon her birth for being of your peasant blood and looks,"

The two swords met with a clang and Jimin fought through the pain and the grip of the guards to get free. He knew that no matter how good his brother was, the Poseidon was leagues ahead of him.

He had no chance.
