The Tears of a Prince

Hans was a man of few words. He did not really enjoy the whole operation his Aloha had set up but he was a man of duty and since his best friend had asked him to become his Beta he had to obey. It was the way things were. In a wolf pack the structure and the power line were very clear. No one dared to go against the Alpha and since the man knew that he didn't do it either. 

He was the known one as to be the more logical, level headed with no particular liking to killing others. If he could actually plan out his whole life he would love to move the pack back into the woods, feel the power of the earth again and build a safe place for his people, away from all the enemies and the deaths. Mikain's plan was obviously different and he had followed it exactly as he was asked. 

Hans was married. Years back he had met his mate. In his eyes she was the most beautiful woman on this planet. Mikaela had the sweetest smile and when she wore her favorite white dress with the small bow ties in the straps of her shoulders she looked like an angel. Unfortunately for their pack and their kind her heart was as pure as that of an angel. She was kind and free spirited. Worship the moon goddess and the earth she stepped on and above all she loved every creature regardless of their kind.

That beautiful heart of hers was what killed her, the reason she couldn't stand the scheming of Moonshine anymore and took her own life. Sometimes Hans thinks it would be better if he actually had hidden everything from her. The killing, the torturing and the selling. If he had, maybe she would still be alive. 

He couldn't hate Mikain for it though. He had seen the progress in the pack, their people becoming happier even if it was at the expense of someone else's life. He couldn't blame him but sometimes he did.

Times like tonight. As he watched his pack's most promising warrior sitting on the street with red tear stained eyes. Holding his lover in his arms like dear life, terrified so he wouldn't lose him. He blamed him because if he hadn't started this twisted game, people like Philip or him would not have to suffer. 

He sighed, circling Kai's apartment building and reaching the front entrance, where he had left Mikain fighting the vampire's men. He had left the two young men behind, giving them the chance to escape, getting to lie to Mikain for the first time. Maybe if he had been braver, maybe if he wasn't so stuck to how things were supposed to be Mikaela would be alive now. 

He saw the Alpha sitting on the stairs of the entrance. Blood splurged on his face, little red dots everywhere like deadly freckles. He had to walk over a few corpses and his eyes discreetly looked for Kai's friend, the one he fought at the beginning. Thankfully he wasn't there. 

"Did you get him?" Mikain asked his friend and the blond man shook his head in denial.

"No. They escaped. They went towards the city border. I think he plans to leave town." He lied with a completely straight face. He couldn't save Mikaela, he didn't. So maybe now he could at least help someone else. A small redemption just to ease his pain a little bit.

"Dammit!" Mikain exclaimed and punched the stair he was sitting on, breaking the material and causing the edge to break into many small white colored pieces. "Where are the kids?" 

"They are probably still looking for the prince. They don't know. Want me to go and get them?" 

"No." Mikain said with a frown on his face. He rubbed the back of his neck and his expression clearly showed his agitation. He believed he would get them, and manage to actually kill a vampire prince but as it seemed he was wrong. Hans felt slightly satisfied. Mikain was his friend, ever since they were little but he blamed him. Deep inside all he ever did was blame him. "I don't care about this brats" he continued as he looked up at the sky that was beginning to rise. The sun was appearing slowly, waking up the world and the Alpha annoyed clicked his tongue. 

"Do you want to send people to search for him?" Hans asked, knowing very well that he was going to share the wrongest information with them. They would end up running in circles, hoping to find something. Soon Mikain would lose interest like he always did and find himself drawn in another way to make money. His brain was very simple actually, if something shone, he wanted it. 

"Yes. Send more than ten men, tell them not to come back until they find that prince. I can't believe we lost to a crippled vampire." He said as he stood up. Hans did not answer. Why was the vampire like that? He hadn't wondered about it but it was obvious he wasn't able to fight. He shook his head trying to look even a bit angry about the outcome.

"I will. So, what do you want to do now?" He asked him. "Are we going back to the hotel?"

"The earlier the better. We need to go back and gather up the people. I want you to tell me everything you saw, every little detail about their direction." Mikain said and his Beta nodded eagerly. 

"Okay. About the kids…"

"Leave the damn brats. They are wolf warriors and they are completely useless." Mikain said as he started walking. Hans followed him but not right by his side. A few steps back just to make sure that Mikain wouldn't notice how he didn't care at all about the success of their plan. He wanted it to fail actually.

They walked for a bit longer, seeing how the city was starting once again to work slowly with the appearance of the sun. For creatures like them the night was more comforting. It was the time when their faces were blurred and their beastly needs could be hidden in the long shadows. The daylight was for those who had a clear soul, not a monster nesting inside of it.

As they reached Mikain's car, the Alpha opened the driver's door and entered, closing the shiny red door of the car with force. He turned on the engine and waited until Hans was in to share another order.

"Also schedule for Philip to come to my room one of these days." He announced and Hans' eyes widened.

"Mikain, he is a wolf warrior, he .."

"Does it look like I care?" He asked him as he took a sharp turn and put the car on the road, driving fast so he could reach the hotel soon. Hans bit his lip thinking if he could find an excuse but he knew nothing would change his mind.

"Don't be too rough on him." The Beta mumbled and the Alpha grinned.

"Depends on my mood." He answered as he stepped harder on the gas.
