The Tears of a Prince

War of hearts- Ruelle

He had heard Lun had been injured, and a spear went right through his body. The moment that information reached his ears Xan didn't care about the case any more. He didn't care about finding who had done it or why they wanted to get involved with their treaties, all he could think of was Lun and everything he was going through. His body was stiff, his heart though was going insane, a raging between trapped inside his ribcage as he looked at the closed door of the hospital room. The crown prince took a deep breath, trying to find the strength to open the door. What if he was fatally injured? 

The door opened on its own, revealing a small sized nurse holding a bunch of gauzes drenched in blood. Lun's blood, Xan thought and felt like he couldn't breathe. He stood still in front of her cutting her path and she, shocked that someone had popped right in front of her face let out a small screech. 

"Excuse me your majesty, I was just frightened." She apologized but Xan didn't mind. He looked at her. 

"The man in there…is he…"

"I am alive!" A weak voice was heard from inside and Xan breathed out, feeling a bit relieved. 

"He will be fine. It's just that the spear pierced through him, as it seemed he also hadn't fed in a while so the healing process might take a while. It will just be painful." The nurse informed Xan and he nodded, trying to look as unfazed by this as he could. 

"I see, thank you." he told her and moved to the side so she could pass. After she left the prince walked in, seeing rows and rows of medical beds, Lun occupying one of them. He was shirtless, his abdomen wrapped in bandages, the place that his wound had been opened slowly painted red. "That thing is still open?!" Xan exclaimed and rushed towards him. 

"Yeah…" Lun answered, sounding weak. "They are just waiting for it to heal on its own. Very old fashioned if you ask me." he joked as he tried to smile. 

"This is insane, I have to get the doctor, what if you bleed out before this shit heals?" he asked and Lun scoffed.

"I won't"

"You already sound half dead." Xan noticed.

"Well, thinking that I should be dead, half dead is not that bad." the tall man joked again and Xan shook his head. 

"This is not the time for jokes." he told him. 

"It's always time for jokes." 

"No."

"Then when is time for jokes?" he asked him playfully and Xan rolled his blue eyes, irked. 

"When you're not half dead and when I am not in the brim of death by anxiety and nervousness." he informed him.

"Were you worried?"

"Now, I was solving crosswords in my room and thought I would pass by."

"See, time for jokes." Lun said again. 

Xan grabbed his hand, feeling the rough cold skin touch his. It felt good to have him close, to hear his voice. He could feel good for a few seconds until his eyes would land on that bloody patch or recognize the pain he felt in his voice. 

"You're never leaving this palace again. Putting yourself in danger like this I…I almost went mad, I thought you could have died. Hearing from whispers that you had been injured.Why did you come back? How can you be so stupid? Kai and I are working on it…" Xan said. His head dropped, his forehead touching the back of Lun's cold hand, as he breathed slowly. He wanted to kiss him, hug him and be thankful that he was alright but he was also scared. He didn't want to hurt him more. He was like a glass statue, so beautiful but at the same time so fragile so all he could do was feel the gentle touch of his hand. 

"The Avger brothers working together…the surprise." Lun told him, a grin on his face. "Sorry if I worried you and well this offer of never leaving the palace again, I will take it if it means bugging you for the rest of your life." 

"I will kick you out."

"But I am injured and weak." Lun pouted, making the crown prince smile.

"Why did you come back Lun?" 

"I…Xan!" Lun exclaimed, slowly everything came back to him. He tried to sit up, he actually wanted to leave but the prince pushed him down, staring at him as if he was mad.

"What are you doing?" he asked him. 

"The box. Xan you need to get the box. I had it with me when I came back but when I was stabbed I dropped it. It must still be there, in the garden." 

"What box?" 

"While I was looking for a place to hide I reached the old stable close to the rift. There were no people around so I thought this place would be best so I wanted to hide inside. There I found a box, it was also hidden in the hay. You need to find that box. This box is the only evidence we have." 

"Evidence for what?"

"The fact that the Bloody People are working with Alloy's pack to destroy BloodBound." Lun announced. 

The prince gasped, frozen in his chair as he looked at Lun. He couldn't believe what he had just heard, this couldn't be possible, the Bloody People hated werewolves more than anyone else. They couldn't be the ones behind this. 

"What are you looking at? The right side of the garden! The box, go get it and you will see for yourself. No one else must have it Xan" Lun told him, making him stand up. No matter how impossible it sounded, no matter how crazy, Lun had seen it and he had to go out and bring it back.
