The Tears of a Prince

"So we will have to take all these vampires back to out pack. How are you going to explain that to the rest of the pack members and Hans?" Mika asked, sitting on the couch of the lounge. Philip had just returned from being with Kai, wanting to gather the last of his stuff before they left, meeting Mika and Reina on his way. 

His friend looked a bit drunk or maybe better, hangover as she stumbled here and there with a frown on her face. When they entered their guest house she had plopped on one of the velvet couches, her face buried in the soft cushions.

"I don't get why I need to explain myself. I am the Aloha for a reason and no I am not doing this just because Kai is my mate. None of the werewolves would be pleased if BloodBound collapsed. The queen was right, we don't want a bunch of new vampires running around making things already harder for us." Philip told his friend.

"It's going to be chaos" Mika commented, a troubled look on his face.

"I love chaos!" Reina exclaimed, standing up as if someone had zapped her and she looked at Philip. "It's funny though, how we all thought Alloy was being a bitch just because she used to like you while actually she was scheming a plan about the literal destruction of the world. I am quite mind-blown not even I did not foresee this." She commented and the red haired werewolf scoffed, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Yeah, if you get high and spend all of your time on the taverns you will definitely not foresee anything except flying dragons and unicorns." He told her and the girl laughed, her green eyes landing on him.

"You're really not funny, not at all funny." Reina said.

"I wasn't intending to be funny." Mika said with a snort. 

"Yeah both of you calm down. The things at the pack will be fine. We won't be staying there for long anyways. We will have to travel. I'm just glad I am taking Kai out of here. This place has always creeped me out." 

"It is horrible." Mika agreed, shaking his head. He had never liked BloodBound or the sense of doom he felt every time he found himself around vampires. There was something about them, he could only describe it as ominous and when he was at their nest it only got worse.

"I like this place. It has a mood." Reina disagreed with both of them. "like those places in the movies, the dark castles."

" A depressive mood. Sad that life is not a movie."

"You have to ruin everything, don't you." Reina asked him with a displeased expression on her beautiful face. "This place has been standing for thousands of years. Do you think it's that easy to simply crumble?" Reina asked, focusing her attention on Philip, waiting for his answer. 

The Alpha took a few minutes to think. A place like this, magic being its very core, containing some of the most powerful creatures in the world...could it really just disappear? 

"What I know is that everyone here seems to be scared at the thought of these Bloody People. They ruined my life once, very easily so I wouldn't feel so at ease with the threat. I mean if you knew that someone was plotting to ruin our pack would you take it lightly?" He asked Reina and the girl nodded, falling again on the couch and getting comfortable.

"I thought you would want BloodBound destroyed." Mika told Philip.

"Why would I want that?" The werewolf asked him.

"Your precious mate will be finally free then." 

"Free and depressed that his home was destroyed. I wouldn't want that." Philip said. 

The truth was though that he had caught himself many times feeling that if this place did not exist his problems would be a lot less. BloodBound was like a huge border separating him from his lover and it hurt, like a thorn stuck in his heart. 

If BloodBound ceased to exist though Kai would definitely collapse, no matter how much he said he hated this place it was still his home and the pain of it being ruined would be too much. All he wanted was Kai, if he could just take him and run away he would, his words from the past coming back to him now.

Once the young prince had asked him if he wanted to leave everything behind, drop his crown and just escape with him. At that time he had denied it, telling him that being a prince was who he is and he wouldn't force him to leave everything just for him. Now though, he was regretting it. If he had grasped his hand at that moment, if he had run away from everything with him by his side then maybe they wouldn't have been separated. 

"Look what you did, now he is thinking, he is going to overload" Mika joked and Reina chuckled, liking his humor this time since the joke wasn't directed towards her. 

"Very funny." Philip said, a frown on his face. 

"I know right." Mika answered 

"I liked it too" Reina said with a smirk on her face. "It's going to be fine."she then continued. "With Kai, with you being an Alpha and now with these idiots that want to mess up our peaceful lives, it's all going to be fine. I know it" Reina said, sounding hopeful.

"I hope so."

"Now Mika go pack my stuff. It's part of your redemption." She said, pointing at the door of her room. Mika's jaw dropped, his eyes wide as he wrinkled his nose, a very disturbed expression on her face.

"The audacity you have to tell me this…"

"What? don't you want to be forgiven? Is that all we were to you so now you don't care? So tell me, what will you do?" She asked him.

"Gaslighting at its finest you…"

"Ah, ah, ah, don't blame others when you're the one who started it. Now hurry up, we don't have much time." She said with a smile in her face.

"Mika…" Philip called.

"What?" 

"Do mine too."

"Fuck you all."
