The Tears of a Prince

By the time the soldiers had been on the move it was already too late. The three members of Blood Fang had escaped leaving behind the box with the evidence of their plan. At the sound of their easy escape Cecilia kicked her desk, her eyes landing on the maps. The letter, that letter was the most concerning thing. They had been cooperating with the Bloody People to bring down the kingdom, their leader had been changed and now she had no idea what was actually happening. 

"The letter…I think that it's clear. We need to start taking measures." Kai told her. He had been there for a while, rereading the few lines again and again, a frown on his face as he was having trouble understanding. What was the reason behind all this? A group of people that had always been obsessed with vampire superiority, wanting to keep strict and old fashioned rules suddenly wanted to tear everything down. It could possibly be because of their new leader, this A.A that had signed the letter. 

"Right now we can't really do anything. Just go rest, I know you probably want to see that wolf of yours. I need to make an announcement to the werewolves anyways. Think of a way to make them help us." she said, rubbing her forehead. "Tomorrow morning we will all gather again." 

Kai stood up, looking at his mother with a concerned expression. Her body was tense, her face showing her growing worry as her green eyes traveled on everything that was sprawled on her desk. He sighed, aware that no matter what he said he couldn't do things any better so he just decided to leave, give her some time. 

He immediately returned to his room, avoiding everyone that crossed his path, his blue eyes stuck on the floor as he walked. He didn't want to talk to anyone, he simply wanted to be with Philip. Thankfully, when he opened the door to his room the werewolf was there, sitting on his bed and playing with the hem of one of the silk pillowcases. At the sound of Kai coming in he raised his head, locking worried eyes with him and he stood up, pushed back by the force the prince landed in his arms, rubbing his pale face on his chest like a cat. 

The Alpha hugged him back, his fingers traveling through the soft hair as he let out a relieved sigh. He kissed the top of Kai's head, feeling him breathe slowly before he took a step back, wanting to meet his eyes. 

"It's over now, Lun is safe." he told him. 

"I think this is just the beginning." Kai answered, a bitter expression on his face. "Now everything will change. They want to destroy BloodBound." 

"We won't let that happen. It is a hard job to ruin a kingdom. Rest for tonight and tomorrow, with everyone else we will figure things out. I will be there for you, all the way." Philip told him, giving him a gentle smile. Kai breathed out, letting the man caress his cheek, moving his cheek closer to him. Such a comforting touch, a peaceful smile, his only support in this terrifying storm. 

"I don't want to lose you again. I won't be able to handle it." Kai confessed, his fears coming to life once again. What if this was their final chapter? What if the Bloody People take him away from him once more? All these thoughts were turning into a monster in his mind, nesting nastily there, making him unable to feel any happiness. 

"I won't leave you. Never again. I promise. You won't be able to escape from me that easily. I will always come back to life to annoy the shit out of you." Philip said, kissing him sweetly on the lips and making him smile. 

"You've never once annoyed me."

"Well, I guess I am that good."

"No, wait I think there was one time…"

"What? When?" Philip asked, his hazel eyes widening making Kai chuckle.

"Remember when I gave you that tattoo? You kept whining the whole time saying that it hurt. It was really funny" he reminded him and Philip scoffed.

"It did not hurt" he said, averting his embarrassed eyes and the prince smiled brightly. He moved his hand, finding his and entwining their fingers. He looked down, seeing how their skin touched, feeling his warmth. It was just physical touch but it felt like the most effective remedy, one that could ease all of his worries. Just a lock of the fingers, just a subtle smile or a wink. Anything that Philip did.

"Don't leave me, ever again." Kai stated, looking at him with a strict look. The werewolf leaned in, kissing him hungrily, deepening their connection and Kai melted by his skills. He was flashed and panting, waiting for an answer.

"I wouldn't dare." Philip said with a grin. "If I left you I am sure you would hunt me down and kill me yourself, again and again, sounds like a horrible nightmare." 

"Well, I am glad that you know it." Kai said, a bright smile on his face, showing his pointy fangs. "But promise me. Promise me that no matter what happens from tomorrow onwards you won't leave me. You will be with me." the prince asked him. Philip tilted his head, smirking.

"I promise, my lovely prince. I will be here, from the start to the end. Every step on the way." He promised forgetting what many people said…

Promises are meant to be broken.
