Taehyung watched as Jungkook was dragged out by his mother and brother.       "Is it just me or does that not look like a happy family?" Taehyung's cousin said as she stood with her family.
"Something looks off" the Queen said confused. Taehyung was stood there with a worried expression, all he wanted to do was run and hold Jungkook, not wanting him to go.
"I think I'm going to head to bed early, please excuse me" Taehyung bowed to his parents and left the ballroom. He walked through the corridor and sighed as the thought of Jungkook being dragged away by his mother worried him. Jungkook repeated how much he and his family didn't get along. He went to his chamber and flopped onto his bed. He wanted to be happy that he met his mate, not worried. Tae undressed himself into his comfortable clothing, and laid back on his bed. The thought of Jungkook still lingered in his mind, the memory of his small giggles and smiles, turned to Jungkook's anxious, scared face. Taehyung groaned and shut his eyes falling into a deep sleep.

That was until he woke up to that sweet scent which made him go crazy. The sweet vanilla, marshmallow smell. Taehyung's eyes opened quickly when he heard high pitch howls coming from outside. He looked at the clock and it was only 4am. He heard the howl again, and the smell was even stronger. Taehyung's wolf screamed mate, which confused Taehyung, was Jungkook here?

Taehyung jumped out of bed, not even caring that he was wearing joggers and a plain hoodie, something which a prince would never be seen in. He ran through the corridors and down the long steps which he really hated at that moment. He saw some guards with confused faces standing in front of the door. "Open the door" Taehyung growled , making them nod quickly when they saw his red eyes. They opened the door and Tae ran out to see Jungkook sprawled out on the stairs.
"Jungkook?" Tae screamed worried, as he ran to him.
Tae gasped when he saw the sight of the boy. He fell to his knees and looked at the boys face, not even caring that the younger was naked. His face was badly bruised and very pale. He trailed his eyes down to the boy's chest and looked at his back.                       "What the..." Taehyung said in shock.
The boys back was covered in blood, the slashes weren't even visible from all the blood.
Taehyung jumped into action, and pulled off his hoodie. He sat Jungkook up, who was unconscious and pulled the hoodie on which was massive on Jungkook. Thankfully it covered the boys private parts and went down, past his thighs. Taehyung then quickly picked the boy up from the floor, bridal style. He ran back inside, holding onto Jungkook and ran to his room. He placed Jungkook onto the bed and gabbed some clothes. He put some underwear on him and took his jumper off to stop the fluff getting in his cuts. He rolled Jungkook over making sure he wasn't laying on his back and quickly ran out the room. He sprinted through a few corridors once again and knocked on his parents bedroom door, calling for them.

Not long later his father opened the door, with a tired expression. "Taehyung what are you doing here?" the king asked shocked. "It's Jungkook, he was passed out on the stairs. His back was covered in blood, and his face was bruised. I need help cleaning his wounds, I'm sorry for waking you up, but it's important" Taehyung said with a panicked tone.
"yes of course, we're coming. We'll bring the stuff to you in a minute, now go and see if you can wake Jungkook up" The king instructed, which Tae responded with a quick nod and ran back to his room. They knew the doctor would take a while to arrive, so the best thing to do was treat him themselves.

He walked in and saw that Jungkook was still unconscious, Taehyung tried his hardest not to cry, he wasn't much of an emotional man. However he can't imagine how his mate is feeling, he must be in so much pain. But what bothered Tae the most was what happened for Jungkook to get cuts like that. He wanted to kill the person who did it to him. But his main focus now was getting Jungkook treated. So he ran to the bathroom and grabbed a clean flannel. He ran it under the warm tap and came back to Jungkook. He sat on the bed next to his frail body and placed the flannel to his head.

Till finally Jungkook began to wake up. he opened his eyes weakly and whimpered when he moved slightly. "Hey petal, it's okay, you're safe now" Taehyung husked out, as he released his pheromones to calm the younger down, which it did. "T-tae it hurts" Jungkook whimpered under his breath. "I know, my parents are on their way to help okay" Taehyung said tracing his fingers over Jungkook's face, softly caressing his cheeks.

They heard a knock at the door, and Taehyung called for them to come in. His parents walked through the door holding the medical kit, a bowl of warm water, towels and come cream. They came and placed the stuff on the bed, and looked at Jungkook with soft eyes. His back was oozing out blood, amd he was whimpering from pain. "Sweetie, I'm going to clean your wounds. It's going to hurt, but the sooner we get it cleaned the sooner it will stop hurting" the Queen told the boy in a gentle, considerate tone. "o-okay, t-thank you your majesty" Jungkook said weakly, still being respective. Taehyung took hold of the youngers hands and rubbed his thumb over the boy's small knuckles as the Queen began to clean his back with the king's back. As Jungkook screamed in pain, Tae released his pheromones once again, calming Jungkook down instantly. Till finally after 42 minuets of the cleaning all the wounds, he was asleep. The other three cleaned up everything, and tipped the bloody water away and looked at the boy who was resting.

"I want to know who did that to my mate" Tae growled. "I know son, Jungkook will tell us when he's ready. Now get to bed and sleep, it's still early" he suggested. "Thank you for helping" Taehyung bowed to them sweetly. "It's okay son, he's a wonderful boy"
