The first thing he noticed as he entered the room was that it was chilly. A light current was getting in from somewhere and his blue eyes darted to the wall in front of him. The white short curtains were dancing, moving with the winter breeze as their music. He blinked, not remembering evr opening the window and took a few steps, his head turning towards the bed. 

For a second, he was frozen, as if a snowstorm had entered the room, the window a little portal, a connection with the outside world. Kai felt his chest ache and his hands grew weak. He was holding a tray, food he had managed to find from a little twenty four hour shop opposite of the hotel. He had rushed there, grabbing everything warm he could find and then he grabbed a tray the receptionist had brought him so he could carry everything. 

A cheap one, made from rough gray plastin, not like the ones they used in the palace. Still, at the moment it was all he had and the food, a ready made porridge and a warm tea were all he could offer him. As he got up the stairs, the heat rising from the bowl he smiled, his expression kind of bitter as he thought of where he was, what had just happened. Everything seemed to be happening so fast, it seemed like yesterday that he found himself knowing Philip was back but now, now they were together. 

"I guess I should be relieved, I am getting a second chance." he had whispered to himself right before entering the room. 

Sadly though he was wrong. Second chances were hard to get and maybe sometimes the universe liked to play harsh tricks on its servants. Kai had believed for a mere second that it would be alright, now that everything had been partially settled he could try again. But how would he? How would he be able to try when the room was empty? When Philip had disappeared?

The tray fell from his pale hands, the bowl breaking into big pieces while the soup spilled, mixing with the glass. He stepped over it, not caring about the mess and ran towards the table, grabbing the sheets and raising them up before he threw them to the floor. Philip wasn't there, of course he wouldn't be. In such a small room was it possible for Kai to miss him? He knew that answer already and in distress his eyes scanned the white sheets. They were blood stains from his open wounds, a pattern revealing pain and discomfort. 

His fist gripped the part of the sheet he was still holding, his nails digging on his skin through the thin material and in a frenzy he screamed, a wrecking cry coming from his shaking lips. He rushed to the window, seeing outside, the rising sun and the city waking up. He wasn't there, he wasn't out in the streets, he wasn't lying in bed waiting for him. He was gone. The prince punched the wall, his knuckles creating a small hole on the wall, dust flying everywhere. He punched it again and again. So many times that in the end there was nothing left on that spot to punch. He turned back, realizing someone was standing on the door, right at the door frame, barely entering the room. 

It was John, looking at him with round and innocent eyes, contemplating if he should walk in. 

"Sorry." Kai said, meeting his eyes as he let go of the sheet. His knuckles were bleeding, the cuts healing up so fast only the blood remained. "I didn't mean to scare you."

"You have been punching that wall for about five minutes straight." John commented and the prince scoffed. He had a stray blond strand in front of his face and he pushed it back, the muscles of his arms tensed as he was filled with anger. 

"Did you see where he went? He is hurt, he couldn't have gone far." Kai asked, hoping that someone would be able to explain to him what had happened. 

"I…They all left." John told him and Kai's eyes widened. His lips were parted, no air being inserted in his lungs as he was trying to understand why Philip would do that. He simply chose to leave, without saying anything? It was absurd, things were fine a while ago. 

"Why?" he mumbled, he didn't expect John to know. 

"I don't know." The young werewolf answered. "I simply saw Reina. She received a text and then rushed away. I stopped her, asking her if everything was alright but she just gave me a nasty stare. She…she told me to tell you something, Boss." John said. His eyes were avoiding the young prince, he was fidgeting as if he wanted to avoid the situation completely. Kai frowned, confused as to why they wouldn't talk to him, why was Reina mad? Didn't things go according to plan? He wondered. Every time he relaxed, even for a spare second the world seemed to laugh at him, leaving him into some kind of oblivion, a sea of questions no one could answer him. 

"What did she tell you?" Kai asked the man in front of him and heard John sigh. 

"She said to stay away from Philip. That is his wish." John informed him. 

Kai felt as if he was going to collapse. Stumbling he reached the double bed, and slowly he sat down, his eyes glued to the floor. John rushed to his side, thinking of something to say. 

"Boss, I think there is a misunderstanding. We should get up and find Philip…I am sure if you talk, get Xan he will…"

"No." Kai said, his voice cold and distant, his eyes staring into the void. "It's too late now. He told him. Mika told him everything. I am sure of it."

"Even if he did, we can still…"

"No John. We can't. He won't believe me. Even if he does he will remember and then he will think I tricked him. Even if Xan tells him everything he still won't believe me. He will think I didn't tell him from the start because I was guilty. I can't believe it…that fucking…" Kai swore, his shock slowly turning into a flaming anger. 

"Let's go to the pack."

"Their pack will be a mess right now. They have to choose a new Alpha. They will start investigating who killed Mikain. We can't go near there right now, that's why they will be there, they know I won't be able to approach them." The prince said between gritted teeth and the werewolf frowned, seeing his boss like that. 

"Tomorrow then?" he asked him, his eyes still hoping he would accept. Kai stood up, fixing his clothes and looking around him. It was the same expression again, the one he used to have when he was alone, distant and cold as if he was looking at a doll.

"It's over."
