Elsa’s POV

The words crawl through my skin, searing into the deepest parts of me like a brand I can’t scrub off. Let me own you. Jungkook’s voice, low and dark, still vibrates inside my chest, mixing with the pulse pounding at my throat where his bite still aches—half fire, half ice, impossible to ignore.

Jungkook

His name roll on my tounge making me question everything, How do I know it?, Why I am feeling a Pull towards him?, Just why?

I’m gasping, barely standing, my body shaking like a leaf caught in some twisted storm. The manor around me seems to breathe with a sinister life, shadows stretching longer, walls whispering secrets I never wanted to hear but somehow crave.

I want to run. God, I want to fucking run and scream until my lungs burn. But my legs won’t listen. They’re frozen, caught between the sharp sting of pain and the unbearable pull of something darker—something I don’t understand, but can’t fight.

My fingers come up to my neck, trembling as they brush over the fading puncture. The skin there is still warm, tingling, almost alive. It’s like he left a piece of himself behind—an invisible chain twisting tight inside me, binding my blood to his. A connection I can feel burning hotter with every heartbeat.

I close my eyes and take a shaky breath, trying to steady the chaos roaring through me. But the ache beneath my ribs won’t let me forget. That bite was more than hunger. It was a claim. A promise. And I’m caught in it.

“Elsa.” His voice cuts through the silence like a blade, low and relentless. I open my eyes and find him standing in the shadows, watching me with those goddamn dark eyes—full of hunger and something softer, something that makes my heart betray me.

“Do you feel it?” he asks, stepping closer, his presence pressing down on me like a weight I can’t shake. “The bond. The pull between us.”

I want to say no. To tell him I don’t understand. But my voice is dry and small when I answer, “I feel it.”

It’s the only truth I know.

“But why?” My voice cracks. “Why am I responding to you? I don’t even know who you are.”

Jungkook’s gaze sharpens, like he’s hunting the truth inside me. “Because your blood calls to mine. Because you carry a past that’s been waiting—for me. For this moment. You’re not just some girl, Elsa. You’re my Mate.”

Mate. That word tastes bitter and heavy on my tongue. What does he mean? What is this thing stirring inside me?

"Who are you really, You are not a...Human" It's not a question, It's more like a Statement.

He Shake his head, Confirming my thoughts.

"I'm a Vampire"

"Vampire?"

I repeat the word, My mind screamed that none of this makes sense. That I should run, should fight. But my body is betraying me—my hand reaches out, trembling, and finds his.

The heat of his skin floods through me, setting my nerves ablaze. I want to pull away. I want to scream. But I don’t. I can’t.

“You don’t have to understand it,” he whispers, thumb tracing circles over my palm, his touch light but scorching. “You just need to surrender. To let yourself be mine.”

Surrender. The word hits me like a storm. Every instinct rebels, but a darker part of me—the part he’s waking up—yearns to obey. To give in. To fall.

I look up at him, searching his eyes, desperate for answers I know I won’t get. Instead, I find only the raw, possessive hunger that promises I’m his now. That I belong to him.

And a small, scared voice inside me wonders why I want that so badly.

“You’re terrified,” he says softly, reading the storm inside me. “And you should be. But this bond… it’s not just pain. It’s power. It’s life. Your life. Our life.”

Power. Life. Words that both terrify and thrill me. Because beneath the confusion, beneath the fear, I feel something else—something raw and wild and aching to break free.

I bite my lip, trying to hold back the flood of emotions crashing over me. My breath comes faster, shallower. I’m standing on the edge of a cliff, falling into darkness, and there’s no one to catch me but him.

He steps closer, so close I can feel the heat of his breath on my skin. His fingers slide up my arm, tracing fire in their wake. I want to pull away. But I don’t.

Instead, I lean into his touch, trembling.

“You’re mine,” he murmurs again, voice thick with something I can’t name—promise? Obsession? Love?

I want to deny it, to scream it away. But the truth is that I don’t want to.

Because I’m already lost. And maybe, just maybe, I want to be.

The manor around us feels alive, watching. Breathing. Waiting for what comes next.

And so am I.
