A/N: THOUGHTS ARE IN ITALICS

Author POV

Not possible. That’s not possible… She wouldn’t try to cheat on me.

But she did. She did. I know she did.

The prince’s mind was full of thoughts, each thought more negative than the previous, the next only contributing to his anger over Reya.

She had cheated on him.

She just did.

And she deserved to die.

He looked at her approaching him. Her long hair let loose, her clothes fitting onto her body, showcasing her figure to anyone and everyone.

His blood began to boil. She wore fitting clothes to lure men. And he was one of her victims.

This had to be put to an end. Today.

He wielded his sword without hesitation. His mind fixated on teaching her a lesson. Without wasting a minute he charged at her and pierced the sharp sword into her left chest.

“Die!” He yelled, “You deserve to DIE!”

Running as fast as he could, he was almost as if a gush of wind passed by the people in the street. Some did look back noticing something out of the ordinary but the average human reaction time wasn’t fast enough to catch what had just passed by.

He could feel her – Reya, despite the increasing distance. The confusion building within her, the worry developing within – worrying about him and not her.

How could he had done that? How?

If he had pierced her in the stomach? He would have killed Ayana for god’s sake! The girl who gave him a second shot at life?

The girl who was nearing him the very second.

Reya cheating on him?! What on earth was he thinking?!

No wonder she is keeping her boundary with him! He finally understands it.

The beast abruptly stopped. But does she know what happened? He wondered. Does she know? Did she relive the pain of being stabbed by the one man who shouldn’t do it to her?

Because Jaejoong felt it, he was feeling it – the raw pain of your life being ripped away in an instant.

He remembers.

He finally remembers.

Every

Single

Thing

That happened that horrendous evening, 400 years ago.

And the beast had to help him control his emotions. Before he does something unexpected.

But the pain was fresh, and it hurt the living daylights of him.

What if she remembers too? Will she have to suffer the pain of getting stabbed once again?

What if she is yet to find out? Does that mean she would push him away further?

No

No

NO!

Reya, who had joined the search party with Baekhyun, Junsu and Yoochun stilled hearing the loud, unhuman, animalistic growl that suddenly shook the whole neighborhood.

Now this would get everyone’s attention.

“Noona” Baekhyun fearfully held onto her arm, “Is that sunbae?”

But her silence forced him to look at her. Only then did he notice that her focus was captured elsewhere.

“Oh ” Were the only words that slipped out of his mouth as he immediately recognized who had just stopped, stunned at the sound he just heard.

It was Kim Heechul.

And he shouldn’t be here.

“Noona, Jaejoong sunbae” He urged his guardian, gripped her arm. “He needs you”

But she wasn’t registering his voice. She looked almost entranced, and drawn towards Heechul, completely confusing Baekhyun. It was the complete 180 degree reaction that she had the during the gala.
