There were plenty of different ways Kai could have announced the news to his employee. The boy was shaking, his shoulder bleeding, a huge bite mark prominent on his body and when he heard Kai's words he ended up fainting of course. Maybe all that information in one day was a bit too much, maybe John was easily scared, Kai couldn't tell, all these things were normal to him and for a second he felt bad, he couldn't understand John's feelings. He had dragged him into this without the human knowing the truth. He had scammed him in a way. 

Kai held him in his arms, his mind rushing as he tried to find a way to reach home without being noticed when the elevator doors opened wide revealing him, drenched in blood with an unconscious man in his arms. The people that were walking in front of them stopped, staring at them with wide eyes and Kai frowned, feeling overly exposed. He took a deep breath and walked outside trying to ignore them and the staff that seemed to be approaching them in a hurry. His eyes were focused on the exit, blocking everything else from his vision when a familiar figure walked in. The possibility of him being relieved more in his life was very little. 

"Lun!" He exclaimed and rushed towards his friend while holding John in his arms. He still hadn't woken up and Kai knew that it was because of the bite. The human's body felt hot, as if he was having a very high fever. 

Lun stopped and took off his sunglasses, examining him with a perplexed expression on his face. He parted his lips, ready to speak but he couldn't find the words. 

"What are you doing here?" He finally ended up asking. 

"I...well...there is no time for that. Get me out of here, now. There are wolves and John has been bitten" he told him and Lun spotted the nasty bite mark on the man's shoulder. He hissed like he was the one in pain. 

"Come on." He told him and changed direction. Kai followed him in a hurry and they found themselves outside. "My car." He told one of the men outside and soon in front of them stood a black colored expensive car. "Please don't get blood on my seats" he said as he helped Kai place John in the back seats. The man groaned, showing signs of being in pain and Kai frowned, this too was his fault. 

Kai sat on the front, waiting for Lun to get in and start the engine. As he drove off for a few seconds both of them were silent.

"So, you found them. Before me actually." Lun broke the silence and Kai nodded 

"I did. Mika visited me. From what he said I realized that Philip was back. I don't know what got into me. I just wanted to see him. I brought John into this. I got beaten up by some stupid teenagers and I met him. But it wasn't really him, he was different. I don't know. I shouldn't have gone there." He mumbled as he rubbed his eyes.

"Why didn't they kill you?" Lun asked.

"Because John was there. He is or maybe was a human." 

"You believe he will turn? Most of them die." The vampire stated and Kai shrugged his shoulders.

Their curse acted the same way a disease did. For werewolves if you got bitten by them and you were a human you would get turned or die. Most humans though do not survive the process and end up dead. If a vampire get bitten by a werewolf during a full moon they get poisoned and die. There is an antidote but it has been kept a secret to the vampires and it's very difficult to find. In the case of the vampires a human could be turned but drinking a vampire's blood and then dying. Then they would return as one of the undead. Not many vampires did that anymore. Bloodbound was actually overpopulated. They had humans brought in to act as blood donors. Then they deleted their memories and send them back, the more they were though, the more humans they would need, the more attention they would draw. 

"I don't know. I just hope he does. Because if he does it will be my fault." Kai said and Lun chuckled as he took an open turn in the almost empty road. "Where are we going?"

"My house. Also that sounds so egotistical, Kai. You want him to live just so you won't feel guilty. You know when I first found you I waited a bit. I observed and for a second I thought that you might have changed but I guess I was wrong. A prince is always a prince." He told him.

"I have changed."

"Yeah, you might have stopped swearing and acting like a spoiled brat but that's just a front isn't it?" His friend asked him. "You didn't leave because you hated Bloodbound. You didn't leave because you hated being a spoiled prince. You left because you hated your family. That itself is spoiled."

"You have no idea what happened." 

"Because you never told me!" Lun exclaimed, annoyed. "All I knew was that one day you fucking killed Philip and left. You never found me, you never asked for my help. You never trusted me. I guess you and I were never friends." 

"That is not true and you know it. You were...you are my friend, my only friend." Kai said with a sad expression on his face. "I just can't tell you. There is no reason anymore. Everything is in the past."

"If it's in the past then why did you search for him? You killed him Kai. There is no way he will see you and be like oh my, my love how I missed you." 

"I know. I know that very well. I was never planning to be with him again."

"Then what were you planning?" Lun asked and Kai smiled bitterly. He turned his head to the side, staring out the window as everything disappeared. Buildings were left behind, skyscrapers and small stores until they were outside the city and big fields spread around them.

"I just wanted to see him. Even for just a second. I...I didn't want his face to fade from my mind, Lun. His eyes, his smile. I wanted to be able to remember all of them. They are my only comfort and I couldn't. I could resist going there. His voice was exactly the same, the color of his hair, the tone of his skin. The way he walked. Everything but the way he looked at me." He said.

"You're such an idiot." Lun commented and Kai scoffed. 

"I know that too. I won't get close to them. Never again."

"Well that's gotta have to wait." Lun said and the vpore prince stared at him confused.

"Why?" 

"If that little human turns into a wolf we will have to take him to Moonshine. It's one of them that actually bit him right? He is theirs now."

"I don't know if that's a good idea. John can't be with them. He won't fit in there." Kai commented.

"There is no other way. Or will you keep a baby pup? What if he bites you during a full moon? This kid is not Philip. He wasn't born a wolf, he will be lost and probably cause havoc." Lun explained and Kai nodded. His friend was wrong. Their kinds were supposed to be enemies so keeping John with him could be a fatal mistake. He didn't want him to be like them though, like those kids that only wanted a reason to kill.

"We will wait and see." Kai decided as they reached their destination. A big mansion in the middle of nowhere at the top of a hill. It's architecture was modern with minimalistic traits and lots of windows. It also had a pool. "Good thing you have some pureblood in you because with all those windows you would end up sleeping in a coffin" Kai teased him and Lun laughed.

"I have you to thank for that."

"Yes, I helped you just for you to call me spoiled." He said while he headed to the back seat. He opened the car door  and faced John. He was groaning, his face frowned as he twitched. Kai felt guilty, seeing him like this he couldn't stop but beg for him to live. "Let's take him inside." He said and brought him back into his arms. He was shaking, biting his lips hard while a huge wrinkle had formed between his eyebrows. "John, can you hear me?" He asked, feeling how hot the young man was.

"Boss? What's happening?" John stuttered as they entered the mansion. 

"It's going to be alright. Don't worry.", He told him. Lun led him to the living room, a spacious room with a window wall and a very big black leather couch. There was also a mini bar and a huge TV on the grey colored wall. Kai let go of him gently and placed him on the couch, putting a cushion under his sweating head. 

After they entered the room, a woman followed them and stood at the door frame, her eyes stuck on Kai.

"Sir" she called, referring to Lun. "Is that…"

"You did not see anyone. If word that the prince is here comes out of this mansion I will kill you all, am I clear?" He threatened her with a strict look and she nodded, terrified. "Good. Let the staff know then. Also bring a bucket with water and towels." He ordered her and she hurried away.

"It's going to be fine John" Kai whispered and caressed his short hair, wanting to provide him some comfort.

"Am I going to die?" John asked, barely opening his eyes to meet his.

"Yes." Lun answered.

"No!" Kai shouted. "You won't die. It's going to be alright. I promise." He said. "I'm sorry John."

"It's not your fault." He said, his voice rough as if he didn't have any water in days. "I liked it. Being of use to you. Seeing you feel something. I hope I helped." He mumbled and Kai held his hand.

"You did. Of course you did." 

"Good." The young human said with a faint smile on his lips before he turned completely silent. He was still. Not shaking anymore. Kai's eyes widened and Lun took a step closer trying to see better.

"Kai, is he dead?" He asked his friend.
