Prologue — The Fall of Shadows (Expanded)

The night was blood-red, and the air carried the metallic tang of betrayal. In the Shadow Realm, power was law, and fear was worship—but even the strongest fall. The skies themselves seemed to mourn, clouds swirling like smoke above a kingdom teetering on the edge of chaos.

Kim Taehyung, Prince of Shadows, had ruled with iron will and unrivaled darkness. His every step had echoed authority; his golden eyes had pierced the hearts of enemies and allies alike. Yet tonight, the throne that had been his since birth crumbled beneath schemers whose envy knew no bounds. Exile was not mercy—it was a test, a punishment meant to humiliate. But Taehyung never bowed. He never broke.

Chains of silver scorched his wrists as he was dragged through the obsidian halls, the shadows that had once obeyed him curling in quiet, uneasy murmurs. The High Council’s whispers hissed through the air like vipers, tasting his defeat. But defeat was not his end. It was the beginning. Shadows were patient. Shadows never forgot.

As he was cast into the mortal world, the winds whispered of destiny. Mountains and forests sprawled below, untouched by his fury—yet ripe for the storm he would bring. Somewhere, far beneath the fragile veil of mortality, a boy slept, unaware of the divine fire that pulsed through his veins. Jungkook, innocent, mortal, yet carrying the forbidden blood of gods, lay vulnerable to a world he did not yet understand.

The golden-eyed prince’s shadows clung to him like living, writhing creatures, hissing promises of vengeance and hunger. Though he walked among mortals, every fiber of his being sought that one spark—the boy whose fate was entwined with his own. The boy who would ignite war, desire, and a possession deeper than life or death.

The forest whispered in anticipation as Taehyung descended. Leaves trembled under his shadowed footsteps. Every night creature paused, sensing the arrival of something both majestic and terrifying. The mortal world would never see him coming until it was too late.

He did not know how the boy would find him, or how fragile mortality could bend against divine will. He did not yet know how deadly innocence might appear when awakened by power. But one truth burned brighter than the red moon above:

The world would tremble when Taehyung claimed what was his.

And nothing—not god, not mortal, not shadow—would stand in his way.

A whisper of destiny echoed through the night, soft yet undeniable:

The blood of gods cannot be chained…

And in that whisper, Taehyung’s heart, dark and unyielding, thrummed with anticipation.

Exile & Betrayal

The Shadow Throne was built on blood, but tonight it was drowning in betrayal.

Kim Taehyung, Prince of Shadows, stood shackled in silver, his wrists scorched by runes that pulsed with a cruel glow. His once-obsidian crown lay shattered at his feet, the jagged pieces glittering like broken promises on the floor.

Above him, the High Council sat like vultures, their faces stiff with false righteousness. They were cowards, every one of them. They feared him, and it showed in the way they dared not look into his eyes for long.

“You have ruled with cruelty,” one elder declared, his voice echoing against the black marble walls. “You have lost the trust of your people.”

Taehyung’s lips twisted into a dangerous smirk. “Trust?” His voice was velvet, threaded with venom. “Fear is stronger than trust. Fear keeps the realm from crumbling. And without me, you will drown in your own weakness.”

Gasps rippled through the chamber. A few councilmen shifted in unease, but no one interrupted him. They wouldn’t dare. Even chained, even dethroned, Taehyung was too dangerous to silence.

“You strip me of my throne,” Taehyung continued, golden eyes gleaming like molten fire, “but know this—shadows are patient. Shadows never forget. I will return. And when I do…” His smirk sharpened, sending a chill through the room. “…you will beg for mercy you will never receive.”

The eldest councilor banged his staff against the floor. “Enough! By decree of the Council, you are exiled from the Shadow Realm. You shall wander the mortal world until time consumes you. This is your punishment.”

Exile, not execution. Of course. They feared his death curse. They feared what his last breath could unleash.

Chains rattled as soldiers dragged him from the throne room. The hall that had once echoed with his footsteps, once bowed to his command, now echoed with the sound of his fall.

Under the blood-red moon, the gates of the Shadow Realm shut behind him. Taehyung lifted his chin, cold fury burning through his veins.

They thought exile would destroy him.

They had no idea—they had only set him free.

The Mortal World

Days bled into nights as Taehyung roamed the mortal world. His silk robes had torn, his crown destroyed, but his pride remained untouchable. Shadows clung to him like loyal beasts, whispering vengeance.

On the seventh night, he heard it.

Chains. A muffled cry. The stench of blood.

He followed the sound into a ruined village, where houses burned to ash and corpses rotted in the dirt. There, beneath a crumbling statue of forgotten gods, a boy knelt in chains.

He was young—his body bruised, lips split, wrists raw from the bite of iron. Yet his eyes, when they lifted, were not broken. They were defiant, sharp as blades despite the blood dripping down his chin.

Something in the air shifted. Taehyung felt it. So did the shadows. A pulse of power, faint but undeniable, stirred from the boy.

The prince’s boots crunched against the ash as he approached. The boy glared at him, unflinching.

“What are you staring at?” he rasped, spitting blood to the side.

Taehyung crouched before him, golden eyes glinting like a predator sizing up prey. “A wild thing,” he murmured, tilting the boy’s chin up with a finger. “But not just any wild thing. Name.”

The boy’s jaw clenched. For a moment, Taehyung thought he would resist. Then, through gritted teeth, he whispered: “Jungkook.”

The name slid into Taehyung’s mind like fate itself. His memory stirred with the Oracle’s prophecy whispered long ago—

Your ruin will be your salvation. He carries the blood of gods.

Taehyung’s smirk returned, sharper this time. “Jungkook.” He let the name roll off his tongue, savoring it. “You don’t belong here.”

“And you do?” Jungkook shot back, his voice hoarse but steady.

A low chuckle spilled from Taehyung’s lips, dark and dangerous. “No. But I decide where you belong. And from this moment forward, you belong to me.”

With a flick of his hand, the shadows surged forward, breaking Jungkook’s chains like they were threads. The boy stumbled, too weak to stand, and Taehyung caught him without hesitation.

Their eyes locked—Jungkook’s wide and burning, Taehyung’s smoldering with something unreadable.

And then—

The ground trembled.

A circle of runes ignited beneath Jungkook’s feet, glowing golden with divine fury. Chains of light reformed around his wrists, searing through Taehyung’s shadows. The boy screamed as the magic surged through him, his veins burning with power not meant for mortals.

Taehyung staggered back, shadows hissing, recoiling from the divine light. His smirk twisted into fascination as he watched Jungkook’s eyes flash gold.

“Well,” Taehyung murmured, chest rising with excitement. “It seems my wild thing is far more dangerous than I thought.”

The Awakening

The golden runes pulsed brighter, threatening to consume the boy whole. Jungkook’s body trembled violently, blood trickling from his nose as he fought against the divine chains holding him captive.

Taehyung’s shadows hissed at his back, warning him to retreat. But he didn’t move. His golden eyes blazed with hunger—curiosity, obsession, and something darker.

This boy… this mortal… was no accident.

The Oracle’s words echoed again: He carries the blood of gods.

Taehyung stepped closer, ignoring the searing heat of divine magic. “Jungkook,” he said softly, almost like a vow. “Your blood is mine. And no god will keep you from me.”

The divine chains cracked. Shadows surged. And in that moment, Taehyung realized the truth—

If the Council ever discovered what this boy was, the war he dreamed of would come sooner than he could prepare for.

And yet, he couldn’t bring himself to let Jungkook go.

The boy screamed, golden light bursting from his chest—

And everything went black.

Cliffhanger Ending

When the light faded, Taehyung stood over Jungkook’s unconscious body, his lips curling into a dark smile.

“Mine.”

🌙 Teaser for Chapter 2 — The Boy with God’s Blood

When Jungkook awakens, he finds himself bound not by chains, but by Taehyung’s shadows—his freedom an illusion, his fate sealed. But what terrifies him most is not the prince’s power… it is the way Taehyung looks at him, like a predator who has finally found his perfect prey.

The forest lay silent under the cold silver moon, the leaves shivering under an unseen wind. Jungkook’s chest heaved as he sat on the damp ground, his golden eyes flickering with divine power he did not yet understand. Every nerve in his body screamed in confusion, and yet, the shadows hovering around him seemed almost… alive.

“Why are you here?” he whispered, his voice barely carrying in the thick, eerie silence.

A slow, deliberate step echoed behind him. Taehyung’s presence filled the space before Jungkook even turned. Golden eyes locked on his, dark shadows coiling and twisting like living serpents around the prince. The shadows hummed with an energy that made Jungkook’s skin prickle.

“You asked why I’m here?” Taehyung’s voice was velvet and steel, low, dangerous, wrapping around Jungkook’s mind as though claiming it. “I’ve been here from the beginning. Every step you took, every heartbeat… it led you to me.”

Jungkook’s fingers trembled as he tried to stand. His power surged again, golden light spilling from him, lighting the trees in surreal brilliance. Shadows hissed, retreating slightly, almost afraid.

“You’re… dangerous,” Jungkook said, voice barely steady. “I… I don’t understand.”

Taehyung’s lips curved into a dark smile. “Dangerous? No, boy. You are divine. You carry the blood of gods. That is power, raw, untamed—and it is mine to guide. Mine to claim.”

Jungkook’s heart pounded, fear and an unfamiliar heat mingling inside him. He tried to step back, but the shadows wrapped lightly around his ankles, holding him in place.

“You… you can’t just decide that,” Jungkook stammered. “I’m not… I’m not yours.”

Taehyung crouched slightly, golden eyes narrowing as he studied him, the shadows curling closer, like fingers of possession. “You will be,” he whispered, voice soft, dark, and dangerous. “I don’t ask. I claim. And once I have you… no one will touch you. No one will control you. Except me.”

The words cut through Jungkook like fire. A strange warmth spread through him, heat, desire, and fear mingling. He struggled against the shadows, but Taehyung’s control was gentle yet unyielding. Every movement of the prince seemed calculated, every breath calculated to make Jungkook’s body respond against his will.

“Stop… please, I…” Jungkook’s voice broke as a shiver ran through him, his body betraying his mind.

Taehyung’s hand brushed lightly along Jungkook’s arm, golden eyes boring into his. “Shh… you don’t need to resist. Not with me. Not when I can protect you, guide you, teach you… claim every piece of you that I want.”

A gasp escaped Jungkook’s lips as the shadows rose from Taehyung, swirling around them both, a protective cocoon and a prison in one. His golden aura flared, responding instinctively to the prince’s claim, his body heating, tingling under Taehyung’s control.

“Your power…” Taehyung murmured, voice roughening. “It’s intoxicating. Every beat of your heart… I can feel it. I can taste it. You are… mine already.”

Jungkook’s legs weakened. He sank to the ground, overwhelmed by the prince’s presence and the overwhelming pull of the shadows. His own power surged uncontrollably, golden threads snaking through the darkness, brushing against Taehyung, binding, merging.

“Feel this,” Taehyung whispered, leaning closer. The shadows tightened around Jungkook, holding him, shielding him, but also claiming him. “Feel how it binds you to me… how easily I can possess what is already yours.”

Jungkook’s golden eyes widened, shimmering with uncontrolled energy. A moan slipped past his lips, a mix of fear, arousal, and something darker he had never known. He tried to push Taehyung away, but the shadows pressed closer, warm and heavy, and his body responded anyway.

“You… you can’t…” Jungkook gasped, the air trembling with the power surging from him. “I’m… I’m not—”

“You are mine,” Taehyung interrupted softly, yet with the weight of inevitability, his lips brushing dangerously close to Jungkook’s ear. “And you will learn to want it… to crave it… to surrender completely. Because you were never meant to be free of me.”

Jungkook shivered violently. His aura flared, golden threads intertwining with the shadows, pulsing in tandem with his erratic heartbeat. Every nerve, every sense, screamed at him to resist, yet every instinct, every part of his divine blood, urged him to submit.

The night deepened. Forest creatures watched in silence, leaves whispering with every movement. The wind seemed to carry their power farther than the eyes could see. Somewhere distant, the world waited—unaware of the storm that had just begun.

“Do you feel it?” Taehyung murmured, pressing closer. His body heat radiated into Jungkook, the shadows tightening, a mixture of protection and possession. “Every part of you… vibrating for me… trembling under me. Every golden thread of your power… mine to control.”

Jungkook’s chest rose and fell rapidly, mind spinning. “I… I don’t…” he gasped, unable to form the words. He couldn’t deny the sensation, couldn’t deny the heat, the pull, the dark desire that coursed through his veins.

Taehyung smiled, a predator and a god all at once. “I will teach you. I will show you… how deep your power can go. How far you will fall under my claim. And when you surrender fully… you will belong to me.”

The shadows swirled faster, golden and black merging, energy and desire colliding in a heady storm. Jungkook gasped, overwhelmed, golden aura sparking uncontrollably.

“You will learn,” Taehyung whispered, brushing lips over the curve of his neck. “That no one else matters… and no one else can touch you. You are mine… and soon, you will see it yourself.”

For a moment, the world ceased to exist. There was only him, only Taehyung, only the surging, consuming power that bound them together.

And then, a distant roar shattered the night—a sound of hunters, creatures attuned to divine blood, approaching fast, their intent deadly.

Taehyung’s golden eyes flared. He lifted Jungkook effortlessly, holding him close, shadows flaring like dark flames. “They think they can take you?” he growled, every word a promise and a threat. “No one… no one will ever take what belongs to me.”

The shadows erupted, black tendrils clashing with unseen enemies. Golden light shot from Jungkook, wild and uncontrolled, merging with Taehyung’s mastery, forming a storm of energy, darkness, and desire.

Jungkook’s pulse raced, mind dizzy with power, fear, and the raw heat of the prince pressed against him. Every heartbeat screamed the same truth—he was Taehyung’s, bound in body, soul, and power.

And as the hunters closed in, the world seemed to hold its breath.

The hunters shouted, their forms barely visible through the blinding surge of energy, and one figure stepped forward, more terrifying than the rest…

Taehyung tightened his hold on Jungkook. “No one will touch you,” he whispered fiercely, lips brushing his ear. “And if they try… I will destroy everything they love.”

The world exploded in blinding gold and black—and when the light faded, Jungkook’s breath caught.

Before him stood something—or someone—that would change everything.
