The Tears of a Prince

Kai returned back to the throne room. Knowing all that he did scared me, what could have in the future and the possibility of losing everything so easily. His mother had decided to take over and he only believed in her because of the hate she nurtured for werewolves. Her pride was too high to be defeated just like that.

The younger prince knocked on the door, knocking loud and steady only to see his mother appearing at the doorstep. The queen looked back for a second, probably checking on the wolves before she stepped outside. 

"What did the doctor say?"

"Suicide pill which is…"

"Forbidden in BloodBound. You're right after all. Someone tried to frame you."

"Mother, they're working with someone to destroy BloodBound." Kai told her and the queen's eyes widened in shock. She grabbed her son by the arm, leading him a bit further.

"Do you understand the gravity of your words right now?" She whispered.

"I am sure of it. John managed to get a few things out of Alloy. The last thing she said was that BloodBound will soon be no more. The butler said that they were working with someone. They're not alone."

"Could it be hunters?" Cecilia wondered but Kai nodded negatively. 

"That's what I thought at first but it doesn't make sense for the butler to kill himself just for hunters. It must be someone from the inside."

"They have been planning this for a while.", Cecilia murmured.  "With everything that happened with the Moonshine all of my informants at the human world were busy trying to find info on the dead vampires, I was left out for too long." She blamed herself, a dissatisfied look on her face as she took a deep breath, closing her eyes. "I won't be able to keep them in there for much longer. I need you and your brother to think of something quick because in the end not only your friend will die but as it seems BloodBound will be in danger too. I need this woman killed and we need to find who she is working with." Cecilia told Kai and the prince nodded. 

"Tell them about the pill, that will stall them. Plant suspicions in them that someone must have brought it from the outside which is true." Kai suggested and she nodded. This was their only option for now, stall things so they wouldn't request for Lun to get killed. "I will go find Xan." He told her. 

"Okay, let's do it this way. Once you find your brother and you have the evidence you need come here, immediately. We don't have any time to waste."  Cecilia said before Kai disappeared. 

The young prince was never really fond of using his powers too much. Especially when he never had a true blood source to drink from, it took a toll on his strength very easily. But now since he had drunk Philip's blood he felt strong egain, finally being able to use his powers. 

He had managed to search most of the palace in a few minutes, finally able to spot his older brother in the garden. The white haired man was on his knees, looking for something in the tall grass and Kai couldn't help but frown, unaware of what was going on.

"This is not the time for gardening." 

"Shut up and help me find Lun's box. He said there is proof in there. About Alloy working with the Bloody people. We need to find it and take it to our mother." Xan announced and the young prince looked at him, his jaw dropping.

"You can't be serious, why would the Nightshades ever try to…"

"I don't know Kai! I have no idea, all I know is that Lun is in there, bleeding out with a death sentence on his head so shut up and help me look!" The crown prince shouted. 

His nerves were tense, his mind was slowly giving up on him as he spent more and more time looking for something that seemed to be nowhere. Could Lun have hallucinated him? A result from his injury? No, it couldn't be, he wasn't that weak but no matter how hard he looked in the spot he was told there was nothing.

"What if one of the soldiers took it?" Kai asked.

"Then we will have to kill them and get it back."

"That's a bit aggressive."

"We're talking about complete destruction here who cares about aggressive?" Xan snapped looking at his brother with an angry stare.

"Are you looking for this?" A voice sounded from behind them. The two brothers turned around, seeing a quite faintly familiar figure. A woman sitting lazily at the top of the palace's wall, tangling her feet while looking at them. On her right hand she held the box, looking at them with a cocky grin.

"You!" Kai shouted, painting at her and she chuckled.

"Well if you want it you gotta take it from me, before time runs out and your friend dies." She challenged them before she jumped off the wall on the other side.

"Get that bitch and rip her to shreds." Xan shouted. 

Both of them were going after her and the box.

Xan had no intention of letting her go. He had to get her to save Lun and the kingdom. As it seemed things were slowly getting harder and harder for the both of them.

The fate of BloodBound was in the hands of the two brothers while they went after a crazy lady with a wooden box. Somehow it sounded like the plot of a horrible comedy but at with them, their lives were on the line.
