Kai never considered himself perfect but for many years he acknowledged that he was very close to being perfect. From his intelligence, to his good looks and fighting skills it was as if he could check every bullet point of the criteria for the perfect vampire. There was one thing though, one teeny tiny flaw that he just couldn't control, no matter how many years passed. 

That was being actually unable to keep a front when it involved Philip. He was ready to start a fight the moment his name was mentioned and well, as he stood in front of alloy, the girl who had the audacity to look at him with that obnoxious grin his blood was beginning to boil. 

"What if I am?" Kai asked again, ignoring the shock in his mother's face. 

"Oh no, please excuse me for being rude. I didn't mean to offend you. It was just that it is quite rare for a vampire to be mated to a werewolf. It must have shocked all of you."

"No, not the slightest bit." Cecilia said and stood up, walking down the small stairs where her throne was and stopped right in front of Alloy, her red lips forming a grin when the girl took a step back, intimidated. "But please do tell me, why are you so concerned with my family's business. You can ask me, no need to talk to my son. He is a prince you see after all he is a bit busy." she said. "So, ask me, what do you want to know dear Alloy?"

"We apologize." Derek said and pulled back Alloy, stepping in with that serious expression of his. The queen looked at  him, displeased with how he had just interrupted her. "The other packs will be arriving soon, so why don't  we just wait to meet all together? No need to cause a commotion." he suggested and Kai walked down the stairs, standing next to the Beta while he stared at the werewolves with a threatening glare.

"Good. It would be better for you anyways. I am not known for liking rules anyways, so let's not push me. Okay?" he asked, a cold smile on his face as he walked away.

So somehow it had been known that Kai and Philip had been mates. But how? He was sure that Philip wouldn't say it. He just turned into an Alpha, it would hurt his reputation too much. She was the one who liked him so maybe to be able to keep an eye on him she had a spy? It wasn't uncommon for Alphas to have people in other packs, just to keep track for enemy acts. 

Hesighed, heading towards the exit of the palace, annoyed and confused. While he had spent his time here, locked in these high walls things had been going on that he had no idea about. He stopped walking, rubbing his chin as he got lost in his thoughts, all the possible schemes. It was obvious this girl did not mean good news, it was also surprising that his mother did not have a fit and actually defended him. Could it be that his father's presence was more soothing than he had thought? Then someone should glue them together. Kai told himself when he noticed a bunch of soldiers rushing at the door. 

"What's going on?" he asked them, all of them stopping and bowing. 

"Moonshine has arrived, we have to bring them in to greet the queen." one of the soldiers said and Kai's eyes turned round. So he was finally here.

"Go along then." he told them, sending them off while he decided to follow them quietly. They were right, he could see the familiar faces outside the tall gate. Philip! Philip was right there, Kai found him with his longing eyes, his heart clenching as he tried to breathe. His hands formed fists, his figure hidden behind a wide tree trunk as he tried to think of a way and get him to notice him when an idea popped in his mind. He slowly , making sure he didn't make any noise climbed on the tree, hiding himself in the thick leaves, waiting. 

Their company had four people instead of three, Hans had joined them, walking with the rest of them while Philip had remained slightly back, looking around as if he was searching for something. Is he looking for me? Kai wondered and he felt his heart thump in his chest. 

Mika, Reina, Hans and the soldiers passed underneath his tree first, heading into the palace without realizing that he was still there, without noticing how behind Philip had been left. 

Now or never. He told himself, his mind going insane as he watched Philip approach his hideout.  The youngest prince took a deep breath, checking on the rest of his pack that seemed to have already entered the palace and when Philip was right underneath the tree he jumped. 

Maybe his appearance was a bit too shocking but still it served its purpose. Kai fell down, landing right on top of Philip who was looking at him with wide eyes, not fully processing what had just happened. 

The werewolf Alpha was laid on the dry grass, a beautiful blond blue eyed vampire prince sitting on top of him, longing eyes meeting his hazel ones as he gasped. Kai smiled, pointy fangs showing through his lips while his whole expression showed an undeniable need. 

"Hello" the vampire prince told him. 

"I found you." Philip mumbled, his body frozen. 

"Actually, I found you." Kai bragged. 

The prince and the Alpha had been reunited. No secrets between them any more.
