JEON’S SLAVE (TaeKook) Chapter 18

LETS START

Taehyung stirred awake, the ache in his body a lingering reminder of the night before.

Taehyung

*eyelids fluttered open, heavy with exhaustion, as the faint morning light filtered through the curtains*

Taehyung

*hand instinctively reached to feel his neck, fingertips grazing over the faint, tender marks left by Jungukk’s fangs*

A shiver ran down his spine at the memory.

The first thing he did was check his clothes, eyes darting nervously over the soft, loose fabric draped over him. His chest rose and fell with relief. Nothing had happened—at least, nothing beyond what he could remember.

Taehyung

*trembling fingers dropped from his collar, and he exhaled slowly, leaning his head back against the pillow*

But then it came rushing back—the weight of Jungkook pinning him to the bed, his cold breath brushing against his skin, the sharp pierce of fangs sinking deep into his neck.

Taehyung

*The sensation lingered, a phantom touch that made him clutch the sheets tighter around his body*

And that wolf…

Taehyung

*eyes snapped open wider*

Through the window the night before, Taehyung had seen it—a man shifting into a monstrous form beneath the pale moonlight.

A beast with glowing eyes and a body too large to be purely human.

Taehyung

*heart pounded at the thought, but what haunted him even more were Jungukk’s words, echoing in his mind like a curse he couldn’t escape*

Two beasts in one body… a Lycan.

Taehyung

*shuddered involuntarily, curling into himself as his arms wrapped around his knees*

Tears pooled in his eyes before he could stop them, warm tracks slipping silently down his cheeks.

Taehyung

What had I gotten himself into?

He wanted freedom. That was all. To escape the suffocating life he had left behind, to experience something more—something that belonged to him alone. He thought leaving his home would be the start of something beautiful.

But now… it felt like he had walked straight into a nightmare he couldn’t wake from.

Jungukk was dangerous, his gaze laced with silent threats, even when his words were calm.

There was something about him—something Taehyung couldn’t understand but feared deeply. Even with a shifter in his territory, Jungukk still felt like the most dominant presence.

He wasn’t a simple vampire.

Was he a vampire to begin with?

He was something more.

Taehyung’s thoughts swirled, suffocating him in the silence, until the faint click of the door jolted him back to reality.

Taehyung

*head snapped toward the entrance, wide eyes glazed with tears, expecting to see Jungukk’s cold figure standing there*

But instead, it was someone else.

A woman.

She stepped inside quietly, as if not wanting to startle him further.

Her hair was short, cut just below her ears—an unusual sight in this era. Most women took pride in their long hair, but she wore hers like a crown, bold and unapologetic.

Dressed in dark, well-fitted attire that hugged her figure, she looked as though she belonged more to the shadows than the ornate halls of the Jeon estate.

Taehyung

*eyes flickered over her cautiously, unsure of what to make of her sudden presence*

Her expression remained unreadable, but as her gaze met his, Taehyung noticed something he hadn’t expected.

Concern.

Despite the sharpness of her appearance, her eyes were soft—too soft. They held the kind of quiet warmth that reminded him painfully of his mother.

Who was she?

TBC

Boy in luv¿

Any guess?
