The Tears of a Prince

John lingered at the door of the spacious lounge, looking around as if he was lost. He had a doe eyed look on his face, innocent looking he didn't dare to step in before someone acknowledged him. 

Philip had been right, Alloy's pack had been alone, pushed to the side by the rest of them. No matter what happened no one really wanted to mess with the royal family. Everyone knew she had talked too much, she had drawn too much attention.

The first person to notice him was Alloy's beta. He looked at him kind of curious, trying to think where he had seen him before. All of the times John's presence had been subtle, like a shadow and right now this was benefiting him.

"What do you want?" He asked him and the young werewolf hastily stepped in. He looked intimidated, his anxious heart beating frantically inside his ribcage as he watched Alloy seated on the couch and scanning him with her eyes.

"I...I heard you were werewolves." He stuttered.

"Yeah, I guess you have a very observant personality." Alloy made fun of him but he didn't react. He just took another scared step forward.

"I am a werewolf too. I...I don't want to be here. I want to be in a pack. I was forced to come to Bloodbound. This place is hell. I noticed that you don't seem to like the monarchy so much so I was wondering if you could help me."

"Lower your fucking voice, do you want to get us killed?" The beta scolded him and John, flinched, nodding apologetically. He didn't mind if he didn't like him, he wasn't his true target. The one he wanted to talk to was Alloy, she would be the one to give him what he wanted. 

"Wait, wait…" Alloy said, suddenly seeming to be more interested in him. John looked at her, hopeful as he watched her pat the seat of the velvet couch next to her, calling him to go there and sit down. 

He did as he was told, whispering and with a tense and anxious body, which was mostly the truth about what he felt he started making up all sorts of stories about Kai and how he ended up there. If they were to question him about it he hoped he remembered everything because at the moment he talked so fast he was sure he was saying gibberish at some point.

"It is just so hard. I got changed because of him. Now I am in this place, being some kind of slave while all I ever wanted was a place to fit in. There are so many people like myself out there and I am all alone here. Could you please help me? I know you're an Alpha, surely there must be something you could do." John begged, tears brimming in the corners of his eyes. He felt bad, not because of what he was doing but because of the things he was saying, badmouthing his boss and all the people that helped him seemed so wrong it made his chest ache. He had to do it though, he had to be like that in order to help, this was the only thing he could do for them. 

"Why don't you go to the pack of that little prince's lover? He would definitely take you in." Alloy said and John gasped.

"No, I could never, he is a tyrant. Word on the street is he actually killed the previous Alpha with evil methods. I'm scared to go there, I'm scared to be in this place anymore." John cried, finally setting his tears free. The beta looking at him sighed, not really liking this situation at all but Alloy seemed to actually slowly get moved by his words. She always had this arrogant look on her face but now, her characteristics softened and she placed a gentle hand on his back.

"Don't worry, I am sure there is something we can do." She said and John's head snapped, looking at her with excitement.

"Really? You're going to help me?" He asked.

"It's not that we will help you in particular, it's just that BloodBound and that prince who has been messing with you have an Ill fate approaching them." She said, a smirk appearing in her face.

"Alloy, be careful. Don't talk too much." Her friend warned him but she simply chuckled, the embodiment of an evil queen she looked at John right in the eyes making him shiver.

"It's fine. This poor little one has been tortured for so long. Why not ease his pain a little?" She asked but the question was rhetorical, she didn't need her Beta to tell her what she should or shouldn't do. 

"Thank you, thank you so much but...what will you be doing?" He asked her.

The woman smiled, thinking of everything while her beta grew stiff, his eyes stuck on John, trying to understand if he was a traitor or not. The young werewolf though looked so worn out, maybe his situation from before had actually become positive in a way. He still looked exhausted and beaten up.

"Well, that is…"

"Alloy…"

"I have been tortured here all this time! Do you think I would even do anything to stop your plans? Please, all I want is to get home...I miss my mum and my dad, I feel like I will never see my family again." He lied, the part about his parents stinging a bit more than it should. 

"Stop that." Alloy scolded her Beta. "I feel sorry for him. Well, let's say that my plan has already begun." She said and John's eyes widened. It was her, it was actually her the one that was behind Lun's upcoming execution. "There were some unexpected errors along the way but they are fixable. Just know little wolf it is very possible that soon BloodBound will be no more." She said and John felt paralyzed with fear.

What was she planning?
