Sehun had cringed at the word ‘mate’. His inner wolf hummed to a sad whimper while he purely felt anger coursing through his body.   He wished he never met Chaeyoung but it wasn’t true. If he hadn’t met Chaeyoung, he’d probably never have a moment where his blood pumped hotly or when his heart accelerated wildly.    Kai had stomped over to Taemin, holding his collar in his enclosed fist. “You’re her mate?”  He more like growled scarily at Taemin.   “Yes, she was.” Taemin whispered, his eyes flying over to the corpse on the mattress.   “Then why didn’t you protect her?!” Kai yelled, frantic. “Why didn’t you make sure she wouldn’t die?! If you were really her mate, she wouldn’t be dead now.” Kai whispered the last words as tears streamed down his eyes.    “I did protect her!” Taemin protested, “That’s the reason why Won Bin killed her. He found out that she was my mate and murdered her.”   Kai just cried louder. He let go of Taemin’s shirt and forced his wobbly legs to the edge of the bed. He knelt down on his knees and cupped his sister’s still warm hand within his. He stared tearfully at his sister’s face.    There were tear stains along her cheeks, her eyes locked shut and her lips pulled into the slightest smile.   Even after death, she still had a smile on her lips.    “Ara, wake up please! Wake up! Kai is here!” He quietly called for her.   Chanyeol had to avert his gaze from the scene, he hated that Kai’s sister was killed. He recalled the times where Kai rarely shed a smile just simply chatting about his sister, and how he was going to visit her after Sehun’s mission. He had high hopes that she was going to wake up when he returned, except, Kai came to the opposite.   She was dead.   “Ara.” Kai whimpered, wiggling his hands subtly for some sort of reaction from her. He couldn’t grip onto the fact that his last family member died.   Kai didn’t notice how Taemin slipped near him, his bruised hand resting on Ara’s thigh. Taemin gazed at her face that was so pretty to him, he couldn’t believe he actually had a mate. He felt weak, seeing her resembled a sleeping beauty, but she wasn’t breathing. She was still as a rock.   “ARA!” Kai sniffled, burying his head on her stomach. He continued to call her name, not caring he was looking like a complete fool.   He wanted to join her. He wanted to join the rest of his family to wherever it is that dead people go to.   Taemin was also in tears, his fingers caressing her thighs gently. “I’m so sorry Ara.” He whispered brokenly.   It seemed like hours that Kai had mourned his sister’s death; it was strange when his right hand began feeling warm. He glanced to the familiar black bracelet with the 3 orange beads strung onto it. Kai gasped as one of the beads glowed intensely, like a ball of pure light.    Everyone fell into silence, watching how the bead unhooked itself from Kai’s bracelet Chaeyoung had gifted him.   The small sphere flew upwards and hovered magically upon Ara’s unmoving chest. Slowly, it descended until it passed through her chest and entered her body, where her heart was.   A blast of
