The Tears of a Prince

Her swearing voice was disturbing the least. She looked at the young man with wide black eyes as she bore her fangs at him, provoking him. He hissed back at her, an utter insult for someone of his own standing and the woman gripped her glass. She raised her pale arm, letting it go, intending to throw it at him when Kai stepped in the middle.

The glass landed on his face, breaking, red liquid running down his body and staining his white clothes. The two siblings gasped in unison, the ballroom completely quiet as they witnessed the scene with anticipation. Ash extended his arm, grabbing the back of Kai's shirt, his expression filled with concern. He gulped, feeling finally scared. He wasn't scared of the Duke and the Duchess, he couldn't care less about them, he was scared of Kai's reaction. 

"Your highness…" the man exclaimed, searching in the pockets of his suit with shaking hands and taking out a handkerchief. He tried to wipe the young prince but Kai stepped back. He wiped the wine off his face with his hand and his fingertips pushed back his golden hair, an expressionless mask on his face. He ignored the Duke, his icy blue eyes locked on Alexa and she whimpered, terrified. 

The prince clicked his tongue, taking a bold step forward and grabbing her face the same way she had with Ash. She screeched, feeling his nails get deeper into her soft asking but she didn't dare to move. 

"Your majesty, please, my sister is drunk. We truly apologize for…"

"Shut your mouth for a second will you?" Kai told him, his voice cold. He wasn't even looking at him, he didn't have the honor to have the prince's attention and for a second the cowardly man felt relieved, no attention meant he wouldn't be the target of his rage. "Now you…" he said, a devilish smirk growing on his face, his fangs slowly appearing underneath his full lips. He smiled, lethal in his disheveled beauty and pushed the wam back, making her back stick to the wall while his hand traveled to her neck. He choked her, listening to her cough in distress. "Who do you think you are to bother my people?" He asked her.

"My prince...didn't you hear how he talked to me? I am a pureblood. He is being an insolent brat!" She screamed, making things worse for herself. Kai tightened his grip and raised her from the floor, her feet, dressed in expensive heels tangled in the air as tears filled her eyes.

"Look at me. Good" he said and smiled brightly when their eyes met. "I don't care who you are, I don't care what you do or even if you're the most fuckable person on this planet…" Kai said between gritted teeth. 

The crowd was frozen, surprised with the expressions the young royal used. Everyone was too stunned by the sight but no one wanted it to stop. Even if they tried to hide it, every single one of them lived for the drama, some of them even hoped they would get to see a little bit of blood.

"You have no right to touch what is mine...am I clear?" He asked her and the woman smiled.

"Are you sleeping with him?" Alexa asked and Kai's eyes widened. "Is that why you won't give him to me? Then I am very sorry, I do apologize to your highness." The duchess said. Kai rolled his eyes, pushing her on the floor and grabbing her by the back of her head, her eloquent hairstyle created by many braids coming undone and she screamed. He raised her head, her black eyes facing Ash.

"Apologize to him." Kai said and Ash looked around in distress. Everyone was looking at him, he was the center of attention, he realized and his heart almost jumped off his chest. "Apologize or I will kill you. I swear." He said and jerked her face forward.

"I am sorry!" She shouted, her face showing how angry and embarrassed she was. "Please forgive me." She repeated and Kai finally let go of her, throwing her to the floor.

"Good." He told her, looking down on her. "Enjoy your night then, oh, and if I were you I would visit a restroom, you know, fix my hair a bit...you look like...a whore." The prince said and smiled at her. He turned his back on the siblings and grabbed Ash's hand, dragging the shocked boy along with him. 

They were heading out, the road opening person by person for him to walk away. The blond man stopped when he reached close to where his mother was sitting. The woman was gripping on the handle of her throne, her eyes glued on her son, she was biting her bloody red lips.

"Mother, aren't you happy that I am back?" He asked, a cheeky smile on his face when he bowed. "Ladies and gentlemen, I have returned. I hope that you will enjoy your night and have fun! But not too much you might end up like dear Alexa if you say something stupid. Now excuse me" he greeted the open mouthed crowd and walked away. 

The moment he left the room he exhaled, wiping some sweat off his face, rolling his eyes as he looked back, making sure that the double doors of the venue were closed. 

"That was something." He mumbled. "Come on, you wanted to leave, didn't you?" Kai asked the raven haired young man but Ash didn't follow him.

"Why did you do that?" The vampire asked him and Kai raised his eyebrow. 

"What?"

"Taking me to these people. It was obvious you didn't like them from the start so why take me with you?" He asked him.

"Well, many reasons." Kai said and shrugged his shoulders.

"Tell me."

"I was expecting Alexa to tease you, she has an eye for young men but man you're actually older than I thought." Kai commented. " Anyways, I wanted to see how you'd react when I strictly told you to sit back and do nothing."

"You wanted to test me?" Ash asked.

"A little bit. I mean she did go over the line that's why I stepped in…"

"You didn't have to do that for me." Ash said.

"Then what would you do?" Kai asked him, accompanying his words with a laugh. "Fight her with those chicken arms of yours? If I hadn't drawn the attention she would request for your head to get chopped off and my mother would kindly oblige. So be a bit thankful" Kai said and patted his head. "Also, you reacted because you didn't trust me. I could see it in your eyes." The prince told him and took a step closer, locking eyes with him. "Will you be my guard?" He asked.

"I will." Ash said, sternly.

"Then you have to trust me." Kai told him. "I won't have my people hurt. I swear. So follow me okay?" He asked him. Ash looked at him, seeing sincerity and the sweet haze of the glasses of wine reflecting in his eyes. His face was so close and well, Kai was truly beautiful, he thought and a blush spread on his freckled face. 

"Train me." Ash stated and Kai grinned.

"Oh believe me, I will, there is no running away though." He said and Ash breathed in.

"I won't."

"Good." Kai said with a smile. "Let's go, there is cake in the kitchen, I want something sweet." He said and began walking.

"Aren't you scared about what the people will think? With what you did? " Ash asked the prince and Kai laughed.

"Believe me little vamp. All of the women there except my mother of course will be seeing me in their dreams tonight, a lot of the men too. It's not about what you do but how you look like doing it. Evolved species are superficial like that."

"That sounds so shallow."

"But at the same time it's so convenient."

"You sound like a villain."

"I may sound like that but the most dangerous ones are those who don't so keep your eyes and ears open. I will be needing you, my mother, who is not a nice person."

"They asked if we were sleeping together." Ash added the blush returning on his face. 

"Well, I never had such a young lover. Do you want me to date you? Could be fun" Kai joked and Ash choked on his own saliva.

"Please don't say such stupid things." He told him, making Kai chuckle.

"I'm glad you're here, you help occupy me. That way I can forget."

"Forget what?" 

"The pain"
