my heart only bleeds for you

It was forbidden.

Humans were food.

You don't go fucking them. Let alone, mate them.

Decades ago, vampires along with other supernatural races had taken over Earth. Tired of hiding from lowly species such as humans. Vampires and werewolves quickly dominated after taking over, witches going in third, the rest, too many to mention. Ever since then, humans had been on the same level as dogs. Pets as some vampires would call them.

"The council will go after your head, Taeyeon. How are you going to fix this? Mate-bonds are for life," Tiffany hisses, her fangs appearing for a moment. "They won't care if you're a Royal. They will stake you!"

"I don't care!" Taeyeon growls, her eyes flashing yellow for a moment, "she is mine! My mate! You don't expect me to not claim her!"

"You should have! It is your life that is on stake now, Taeyeon!" Tiffany shrieks, her eyes now yellow, fangs along with her claws long. "You're my cousin! You are the next in line to the throne! I will not let anything happen to you and let the throne be passed to your disgrace of a sister!"

"I know what I am doing!" Taeyeon yells back, "She will be my Queen! She will rule with me! By my side—!"

"The council and your parents! Would you stop being so reckless and thing for just a moment!"

Tiffany jumps to tackle Taeyeon, rage and concern blinding her for a moment, yet Sooyoung suddenly appears, breaking apart the two, Taeyeon and Tiffany breaks apart, Tiffany's back goes through a wall while Taeyeon almost goes through the ceiling.

"Stop fighting! This isn't fixing anything!" Sooyoung exclaims, glaring at the two who had recovered from her quite strong throw.

"Sooyoung—" Tiffany starts, yet Sooyoung puts up a hand to shut her up, her glare darkening.

Tiffany backs off, her eyes going back to normal, her fangs and her claws disappearing, as if it weren't there in the first place.

Taeyeon stays put, quietly seething.

"We all know there is only one way to fix this, Taeyeon." Sooyoung speaks up, hesitant yet she knew she had to say it.

"No!" Taeyeon immediately denies, shaking her head. "I am not turning her!"

"I talked to her—"

This time, Taeyeon tackles Sooyoung, "stop meddling between us!" She growls.

Tiffany gets in between them and once again, Taeyeon flies, yet this time, she manages to steady herself.

"Stop being so irrational, Taeyeon!" Sooyoung irritatedly says, getting up from the floor. "It's the only way to assure you and Yoona live to see another day! The throne and your people as well!"

"I'm not going to be selfish and turn her into one of us!" Taeyeon slams the table, the legs breaking and it collapses under the weight of her fists.

Tiffany winces, great, another broken furniture, her eyes rake the room, it was a mess from all the fighting she and Taeyeon had earlier, the vases were smashed, the bed's covers were ripped and the mirror was cracked. The sofas were tumbled and now, the table was broken.

"You're being selfish now! You can't let the throne go to your sister!" Sooyoung roars.

"Then give me time!"

"The council will go for your head next week, Taeyeon! We don't have time!"

Taeyeon stifles a shriek, she slumps to the ground, tears starting to flow down her cheeks continuously.

"I've been so strong!" Her voice came out hard and loud despite the tears. "I know it's forbidden to see a human in other ways than food and to mate them. Yet.. My mate is a human. She's the only one who understands me, she's forgiven me for my acts of cruelty towards her, she's loved me despite anything. All I want is that she keeps her humanity."

"I've done everything to please the council, the people, everyone. This is all I ask!"

Sooyoung and Tiffany's anger and irritance subsides at the sight of Taeyeon breaking down..

They pitied her.

"We all know it's not that easy, Taeyeon." Tiffany speaks up, stirring her gaze away from Taeyeon's form, her fists clenching.

"I know.." Taeyeon whispers. "fine, I will turn her. I just hope I won't regret it as much.." And then her voice turns cold, "When I'm queen, everything will change. All of it."

Sooyoung exhales a breath of relief along with Tiffany.

—

"Juhyun had slipped that you, Sooyoung and Tiffany had gotten into a fight earlier." Yoona mutters, her body slumped against Taeyeon's as Taeyeon played with her hair.

Taeyeon stops playing with her hair, her hand resting on Yoona's back.

"You.."

"It was about turning me, wasn't it? Because you finally claimed me.. Even though you should have turned me before you claimed me.."

"Sorry.. I'm sorry." Taeyeon whispers, "I should have rejected you, didn't I? You wouldn't be in this position, then."

"Don't." Yoona says, her voice hard. "I still chose this. And if you didn't take me.. I would have died in that blood brothel anyway."

"The life you're having right now, with me, isn't any better than death." Taeyeon breathes out.

Yoona gets up from Taeyeon's chest, "And I don't care." she harshly says, "I will choose this life, again and again, as long as it means I get to be with you."

Taeyeon stares at Yoona, her gaze soft, awed and confused.. flattered.. She felt so many emotions.

"I've never.. said this out loud." Taeyeon slowky speaks, her voice low, savoring every syllable. "I love you."

"You didn't have to," Yoona

whispers, her hand reaching out to carress Taeyeon's cheek. "You showed me. In the best way possible. I noticed how you lit up when your eyes find me, how your eyes soften and a smile graces your lips. How you immediately come to my defense when someone speaks to degrade me. How you hold me like you never want to let go.."

"You have quite the way with your words.."

"Says you, you wrote me a poem and sang to me when you were courting me."

"Only the best for you."

Hushed whispers were exchanged between the couple, all filled with love.

"I want you to turn me now."

"We can wait tomorrow, Yoona. The council isn't coming till next week."

"It's okay, I'm ready."

"I don't want to hurt you."

"I trust you, Taeyeonie. You won't hurt me."

Hours later, Taeyeon stared at her mate's unconscious form, Yoona's features relaxed. Her pale skin was glistening underneath the moonlight, her lips were set out in a pout, her hair a beautiful mess around the pillows.

Taeyeon has just turned her earlier. She closes her eyes at remembering Yoona's screams of pain when the venom was making it's way in Yoona's system.

It would haunt Taeyeon forever.

She hurted Yoona..

She promised she wouldn't hurt her anymore, yet she..

Taeyeon shakes her head, ridding herself of those thoughts.

Her eyes goes to the bite mark on Yoona's neck, she gets a damp towel from the nightstand that she requested from a maid. She started cleaning it again.

When i'm Queen, I'll do everything within or not in my power to change this slave driving kingdom. All for you.
