Chapter 1
Walking slowly in the small alley, head hanging low, lips in a pout, hands tucked in his baby blue hoodie, long white ears hanging low, Jungkook just wanted rest. He was having a very awful day today. He got fired from the cafe he was working at, an alpha wolf was trying to get his phone number and ended up following him almost half of the day. HE'S EXHAUSTED.
Alphas and their boundary problems. He can hear Yugyeom’s voice in his head that gave a small smile on his lips.
He just wants—no—needs to go back home to his apartment and cuddle with his BIG and FLUFFY blanket. He has a lot of problems to think about like how will he pay for his rent? His bills? His food? His school fees? It's stressing him out. Jungkook just wants to feel peaceful for once, but maybe peace hates him so much. It doesn't help that his hours from his other job in the library was cut short.
Having a nice landlord would be nice too but of course, fate was very nice to him and decided to give him an annoying old man who likes to insult him just because he's a bunny hybrid. He tries his best to be patient and understanding of his landlord because maybe he has a lot of problems just like Jungkook but sometimes he gets on his nerves.
He sighed quietly and looked up at the bright blue sky. He had enough of today. He'll think about his problems later. Now, all he needs are his big fluffy blanket and maybe some candies with a few chocolates here and there and perhaps he can watch some of his favorite shows on Netflix.

Evening came around fast and Jungkook was studying for his upcoming long quiz tomorrow when his phone started ringing a familiar ringtone that he hadn’t heard in months. He saw that a certain Yugyeom was calling him. Jungkook was smiling when he answered the call from his only best friend.
He picked up his phone and answered the call. "Hey, Gyeomie..."
He put his pencil down in-between the page of the book that he was reading and stood up to go to his bed and hugged the nearest pillow he can grab before lying down.
"GUKKIE! I MISSED YOU!"
He laughed when he heard the loud and enthusiastic voice of Yugyeom. He felt his bunny ears moving because of the happiness that he can feel. He missed his best friend. They’ve been apart for too long now.
"I miss you too Gyeomie!" He softly replied. It has been a long time since they were able to bond or even talk to each other because of Jungkook’s busy schedule. They live about 3 hours apart so they rarely see each other ever since Yugyeom found a coven. "Why'd you call me? Is there something wrong?" He added.
There was a small shuffling sound in the other line. "No. Nothing happened but um..."
Concern filled his mind. "What is it, Gyeomie? Do you need help in something? Did you trouble hyungs again?"
He heard an offended gasp on the other line followed by Yugyeom’s voice.
"No! Hmph. I don’t trouble them all the time! I just want to invite you somewhere."
He giggled then furrowed his brows in confusion. "Oh? Really? Where?"
He noticed the short 5 second pause that Yugyeom did before answering.
"Well it’s a ball held by the coven that’s close to ours."
"Why are you inviting me, Gyeomie? I don't think I’m growing fangs and drinking blood anytime soon, silly." He giggle a little bit after talking. Gyeomi is silly.
He heared Yugyeom’s small laugh in the other line.
"Well, I just want to have someone to talk to when the coven members talk to some vampires around."
"I don't think it's safe though" Jungkook replied.
It's like entering a room full of preys that are ready to drain him. He's a bunny hybrid for cotton's sake! Of course it will be dangerous!
"Please? The Choi Coven will bring their humans with them and it'll be fun! And plus we'll have our bonding time then too!"
"I'll try? Okay? Let me think about it." Jungkook answered. "What's the name of the coven? Maybe Moon Bin knows about them."
"Oh...um...Kim Coven."
Jungkook's big doe eyes got bigger. KIM COVEN? He sat up straight and held his phone tighter. Suddenly filled with excitement, his soft bunny ears were standing straight on his head, twitching a little.
"THE FAMOUS KIM COVEN?!" He shouted.
"Well...uh...yeah?"
"I'll GO! I'll GO! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THA–" Before he even finished his words Yugyeom stated his goodbye.
"Really? Okay! I'll tell the coven! Thanks, Gukkie! Love you! Bye!"
Shocked by his friend's sudden goodbye, he forgot to say his goodbyes as well and huffed softly.
"Love you too Gyeomie" he texted after his friend abruptly ended the call. He giggled softly.
Yugyeom's gonna tell him a lot of important things when they meet.
Jungkook sighed and went back to his study table. Elbows on the table, head on his palm, he let his thoughts settle inside his head. Yugyeom just stated in the call that he meeting Kim Coven in a few days. It’s real…right?
The idea of him finally meeting the Kim Coven is giving him goosebumps. He, like the other people, is curious as to what the coven members look like, and he may or may not have a tiny little bit of a crush towards them.
-
The Kim Coven was recognized for saving the royal family centuries ago, and when he knew about it he felt that maybe they were not as what people make them out to be.
The Kim Coven is very well known because the coven is one of the oldest covens that is still existing after the war centuries ago. No one knows what they look like because of their very secretive character and their want to remain private.
News started spreading that one of the members of the coven was identified and was photographed but before the picture even spread the one who took the picture died and was found drained of blood while dried candlewax was covering the poor man’s face, with the scent of the oldest member of the Kim Coven wafting in the air inside the home of the dead man.
It was scary of course but Jungkook doesn’t want to believe the rumors that are spread by others that are not even confirmed and has no proof.
They were very clear that they do not like others snooping around them just to know who they are so people should inhale their curiosity back inside their heads.
But it's still scary nonetheless.
Though no one knows who they are, you will certainly notice that they are far older and stronger than other vampires. Those who met them and have talked to them told others that they radiate an extremely strong aura that can terrify anyone.
All six of them are soulmates. It is very rare to find your soulmate that's why everyone was baffled when the news of the six of them being soulmates was confirmed by the coven themselves. Many wanted to be lucky and be one of them but after centuries had passed no one succeeded or rather no one was accepted into their family.
They were known to be deadly. Or at least that's what people think of them. Their actions towards their stalkers are not...very pleasant for the eyes, so most of the humans and other creatures created their image out of the things they do. Dangerous, heartless, ruthless, and a lot of other dark names to call them.
Even after having that dark image every single creature and even humans all around the globe still wants to go to the balls and events that they arrange every now and then. Wearing a mask for their face to not be recognized and some of the most expensive suits that are carefully, and beautifully tailored for them.
_
A few days has passed since Yugyeom's call and all he can say is he can’t focus on anything. He was like a doll this past few days because of the ball that will give him his first present of the year, meeting the Kim Coven!
It’s 7 PM when he received a text from Yugyeom saying that his hyungs, the Im Coven will be picking him up in 10 minutes.
So that’s where he is now. Inside the Im Coven’s mansion getting dolled up right beside Yugyeom.
“Gyeomie…why do we need to apply makeup on? We’re gonna cover our face anyway.” Wincing when one of Yugyeom’s coven mates, BamBam, accidentally poked his eye applying some nice little sparkly eyeshadow on his eyelid BamBam immediately apologized and continued his work. “Just go with it Gukkie." he pouted and relaxed on his sit.
When it was already 8:30 PM it was time for them to go. He was wearing a white suit and a white mask to go with it. The whole Im Coven was wearing black so he was feeling a little out of place.
Oh, who was he kidding? He feels SO out of place.
"C'mon kids! Time to go!" Jaebum, the leader of the Coven, ordered.
"I'm not a kid hyung!" Yugyeom whined while stomping his feet.
Jungkook covered his mouth to stop the giggles that wants to escape his mouth. Yugyeom eyed him with betrayal. He heard a “hmph” escaping his friends mouth before entering the car, Jungkook entered as well consoling his best friend.
The other members of the Im Coven sighed and joined the two youngest inside the car.
They arrived at exactly 10 PM and the ball was already starting. Jungkook was feeling very nervous. It's his first time attending a ball with just vampires inside.
"Hey Gguk, stay close to hyung okay? We don't want you getting lost alright?"
Mark squeezed his waist a little and walked inside.
"Yes hyung" he said and smiled.
When they entered he feels more out of place. Everyone was wearing black or red. AND HE'S WEARING WHITE?
He can feel some stares when they passed by some vampires. They were holding some wine glass with blood inside. His nose started twitching because of the random scents and smells wafting in the whole ballroom.
When they reached their designated seats Jungkook finally relaxed. He knows he's safe now because he is surrounded by his hyungs. Based from his observation earlier, the vampires were looking at the Im Coven with respect. So they're probably one of the covens that are older and more powerful than most covens.
"The Kim Coven will appear in a few minutes. I will get Gguk some food and drink while we wait." Jackson said and left the table.
He smiled and thanked his hyung. He looks so small right now. The chair being a little too high for his liking and his feet dangling. "Gyeomie why are the chairs here this tall? My feet can't even touch the ground!" He pouted afterwards.
All the coven mates held back to not coo at the adorable hybrid. "You're just small Ggukie!" replied Yugyeom.
He huffed and glared the men sitting in front of him. He's pretty tall for a bunny hybrid! Why are they calling him small?! Hmph.
"Hey guys stay here okay? I'll just go and talk to someone. I'll be back real quick!" Jaebum said. Right after he left slowly the coven mates started leaving one by one leaving him and Yugyeom.
Jackson came back with some snacks for Jungkook and a glass of a fruit shake with a small pink umbrella on top. He smiled at Jackson and said his thanks, Jackson dramatically clutched his chest and winked at the bunny hybrid and said his goodbyes and left their table to join the others.
Jungkook was people watching–vampire watching actually while eating his snacks, when he realized something.
Where's Moon Bin and his coven? They should be here too.
"Hey Gyeomie...where's Binnie? He should be here too right?" he stared up at his best friend.
Yugyeom stopped himself from cooing because his Gukkie is just too adorable.
"No. They said they won't make it. Sanha encountered some trouble yesterday and they're trying to fix a few things."
His mouth formed an o shape and he nodded. "That's sad. It would be fun to talk to Binnie. Haven't seen him in a while."
“ Do you want to talk to Seungcheol hyung's coven?” asked Yugyeom.
Jungkook nodded so Yugyeom took him to the table of the Choi Coven. They were welcomed warmly. The two youngest decided to go back to their table after a few minutes of talk with the others.
"Hey the Kim Coven will be up anytime now. I'll go get myself some...um...something to drink. Stay here okay, Gukkie?" Jungkook nodded and smiled. Yugyeom pinched his cheeks and went to ask for a drink.
The hybrid realized that he's not that scared anymore so he decided to roam his gaze around the room. Then what caught his attention was a butterfly just outside the large window that was behind the table which was 5 seats away from him.
The white butterfly was big. Not like your normal butterfly–what is normal in this world anyway? It has golden dust falling everywhere, anywhere it goes.
Slowly the bunny hybrid stood up and walk towards the giant door. Forgetting that he was supposed to stay seated and not go anywhere. Some vampires following him through their eyes. He is a meal for them and having no one beside him to protect the bunny made something inside them want to drain the life out of him. But because he came with the famous brothers of the Kim Coven they resisted. What a lucky bunny.
Jungkook followed the so-called butterfly entering random hallways and doors without noticing it. When he looked around he noticed that he had gone too far from where the event was happening. He was now in a hallway where a few torches were lit and some vines on the wall with little flowers on it. The moonlight was helping him see everything around him.
The butterfly suddenly stopped in a flower and he followed it. "Nice little butterfly. You're so pretty." the bunny hybrid stated with awe in his voice. The butterfly was sprinkling golden dust everywhere!
He slowly raised his hand to touch the butterfly's wings when it decided to fly away from him. He pouted at the butterfly. “Can you please let me touch your wings?” and like it understood him the butterfly approached the bunny hybrid.
Jungkook softly touched the wings. It’s like he’s touching a silk! It’s wings was very soft! Jungkook was in awe. When the butterfly left it twirled a little above his head before flying away.
What a strange butterfly.
Jungkook decided that it was time to go back to the ball. Now processing that he indeed is lost, he panicked. What a stupid bunny? Why will you disobey your hyungs?! A voice inside him asked.
Before a panic attack occur he did his breathing exercise. Inhaling the fresh air and exhaling his nervous feelings.
"What do I do? I'm lost now." Tears started to wet the hybrid's rosy cheeks. He looked around and saw a door right behind him. He walked towards it and entered the door and saw...well more doors and hallways that was lit by torches.
He continued walking entering different doors and hallways that are not too dark for him when he noticed that the floor is already carpeted unlike the cement floor he was on earlier. Chandeliers were hanging above his head and different kinds of paintings everywhere. Where am I?
"Jaebom hyung will be so mad." Frustrated, the bunny continued walking. This place seems to lack the presence of vampires so he's safe...maybe.
He removed his mask when he felt his eyes spill some tears. Oh no no no! He's not gonna cry in the middle of...wherever he is.
He feels so lost.
Jungkook wiped away the tears that escaped his eyes before continuing his walk.
The place is big. Even bigger for the hybrid for his size. This is like a palace that royalties live in.
Different portraits of people in big canvases was displayed everywhere. It’s like a museum full of paintings. What caught his eye was a painting right in front of the staircase. It was a painting of six men but their faces were vague.
Huh. Weird.
He carefully descended the stairs, curious doe eyes scanning his surrounding. His white ears are sensitive right now because of the nervousness that he can feel.
When he got to the bottom of the staircase he wondered his eyes in amazement. What a beautiful place! If he lives here, he’ll definitely open those dark red curtains that are covering the giant windows and let the sunlight and moonlight enter the room.
Fear forgotten, Jungkook walked closer to the paintings around the room and admired each one. One thing that he noticed that was common in the paintings was the signature of the artist.
“Kim Taehyung,” he read, “what a beautiful name.” He whispered to himself.
The name was written below of every art on a small golden plaque with a date under the signature.
“Wow! They must be a collector.” He whispered in awe. Painting after painting, he furrowed his brows when he noticed that he’s already in the year 2000 and the artist’s name is still the same.
Huh? Strange.
The painting that he first touched was from the year 1867. Maybe the artist is a vampire? Before he can move to another painting when he suddenly felt a strong presence behind him. The powerful kind of presence.
The bunny hybrid’s ears strained. Heartbeat too fast that he thinks the person behind him can hear.
Oh he's so screwed.
Am I gonna die today then?
No! What are you thinking Jeon Jungkook! Of course not!
But what if it’s one of the Kim Coven? And then they’ll think I'm snooping around? Or worse they’ll think I’m stealing one of their paintings!
In the middle of his panic state he heard someone talk behind him.
"Are you lost, little one?" said a deep voice behind him.
Slowly he turned and saw the most beautiful men he had ever seen.
