Lun was extremely tired. All of the emotions he hadn't felt in over two centuries were coming like a tidal wave and crushing on his heart as if it was a defenseless shore. As he stood in his living room his hands entwined behind his back, his eyes wandered around, spotting the half empty glass of hard liquor. He scoffed, a grin on his face as he grabbed the bottle and refilled it, a sigh escaping his lips. He was anxious, worried and confused most of the time. He had been searching for Kai for years as his parents requested. He should have announced to them he had found him so they could take him back by now but he had chosen to keep it a secret.

Lun grabbed the fragile glass, hearing the icecube move inside the golden liquid and took a sip. His brown eyes were clouded as his thoughts made him question everything. Kai's secret, the reason why he took a blood oath. Lun had to know. Only the royal family was able to actually seal a blood oath so that eventually meant his family had something to do with his disappearance or whatever happened to him to make him want to run away. If that was true Lun wasn't so sure if he should bring his friend back home.

When he had found out Kai was gone, without even saying goodbye he had been furious. He accepted the request of search by his parents in the blink of an eye just so he could find him and drag him back home by force. He had seen it as his little revenge but now things seemed to be a lot more complicated. Kai had changed, or better, he was trying to hide his true self as if he regretted his entire existence. Everything, from him running away to meeting Philip again to the Blood Oath, everything was so complicated.

"Kai, what have you gotten yourself into?" he sighed and pushed his hair back with his free hand.

Lun hadn't liked Kai from the first moment he had seen him. But he had decided that he had to have him as a friend and he would do anything in his power to achieve it.

The son of a very rich merchant that rose quickly into high society. That was what they were saying about Lun's father in Bloodbound but everyone knew his father's success wasn't just that. Born into the lower ladder or the vampire capital, his father worked in what they called the Bloodbound's underworld. With a little killing, little drug dealing and smuggling his father who was a very intelligent man indeed had managed to make his family rise into what he always wished. Lun was young, barely remembering their shabby home in the lower part of the capital but the smell, the disgust was somehow engraved in his entire being. His family had done everything to be at the top, no royal blood, no connections and him being the Avger family's dog was a step even further.

He despised his father, down to the core. He hated the beatings and the swears he had to endure from a man of the underworld that wore a mask during those balls and gathering with the higher class just to show he fitted in but he shared one common with him, neither of them was and would never be a good guy. Lun too, even though he was a lot more civil and despised getting blood on his hand he had no real connection to anyone or had ever known what love was.

That kept going for a few years, even after he had become friends with Kai. His father would force him to hang out with him and Kai would be forced by his own parents to stay by his side. It was almost like a mutual agreement until...until Lun got to really notice and get to know Kai.

In their society people always loved to pretend they were good, that they still had virtue in them even though the curse flowed still in their rotten veins. They hid behind their shiny masks at the masquerades and giggle pretending to be civil, ignoring the blood in each other's lips. Lun despised that, the thought of pretending to be something he was not and that was where Kai came in. He had never seen anyone who was so free spirited. He didn't care about anyone's judgement. He only cared about himself and what he wanted to do. The scandalous prince would party, he would roam around half naked and act like a spoiled brat, everything his family detasted because it threatened their perfect frame all the while being the one at the top of his class, an excellent swordsman and an exquisite dancer.

Lun viewed Kai as what a vampire should be. Someone who embraces their immortality, someone who accepts their nature and not a hungry filled monster that was trying to hide in the shadows. Kai was really who Lun wished to be one day. A symbol of being yourself no matter who judged you, no matter if your father hit you almost to death if you did something bad at home.

So seeing him like this after such a long time was a shock. He wanted to see his old friend back, the only vampire he ever truly acknowledged because Kai did not deserve to view himself like this. He had to either bring Philip to Kai or take the prince back home. Both options seemed equally dangerous at the moment. Back home though, it was better for Lun too, because back home there was someone, a person he was itching to see.

His thoughts traveled to that person, leaving for a second the disappointment of the current events behind and he grinned as he brought the glass close to his lips. Lun had been trying for years to make him his, again and again but he had always found a huge wall at the end of the way, it was fun, this little hunt. He was going to get him though and then he was going to make him pay.

"Sir…" a hesitant voice was heard from the entrance. One of the servants he had brought from back home was standing there, a worried look on the raven haired man's face and Lun frowned.

"What is it again?"

"The men you set to watch the hotel Moonshine live in.Their Alpha has been spotted leaving the building with that ex human boy you know. He is beaten up and restrained." he informed him

Lun looked at the man in front of him, his eyes burning with hate as the glass in his palm shattered into many small pieces. The servant looked at him stunned as blood started to drip from his palm.

"Get my car ready." he said between gritted teeth and the servant disappeared.

Suddenly his life had turned into a race.

Who would reach Kai first?

....

So who do you think will reach Kai first?
