Summary
Jeongguk mounts his horse, his chest heaving with fury. He watches his injured pack members with newfound savagery and urgency for revenge. "If you don't find that rogue, don't even consider returning!" The alpha thunders.
He hears the roars of his soldiers, hurrying to comply with their king's orders, each group heading in a different direction. Jeongguk's hands tighten around the reins before nudging Eodun, his horse, to move forward. "Go!"Bookmarked by CrypticTales

Summary
Jungkook is the “spare to the heir” - largely disregarded and now, bartered off in a political marriage to the most infamously monstrous man: Kim Taehyung, Lord of House Kim, whom they call the shadowed beast.
Taehyung, reviled and feared and worshipped from a young age for his terrifying powers, has no interest in the war for the throne. But when he meets and falls in love with his new intended, he thinks: he would climb the bloodied stairs to claim the accursed throne, if only to crown Jungkook as the rightful queen.
Lord Taehyung sees something worthy in Jungkook, who has only ever been treated as the spare to be discarded. And when Jungkook’s ability manifests and comes to light, the rest of the world, too, will come to see.

Summary
The Doorman is favored and recommended by many. Located within walking distance from both the university and the corporate district, it’s the public house where happy hour is always busy.
The bartender is young and handsome, friendly though quiet, and mixes a wild Old Fashioned. He often leans on the counter, chatting with a customer, with a full sleeve of ink on display. It’s for his sake that Taehyung has been frequenting the bar, every Friday, for almost two years.
Not knowing that the bartender is the doorman — to a much darker world.
