On their way to the hotel where Moonshine was living, Kai had been given a black jacket to wear. It had a hoodie and he had been encouraged by Reina to wear it so people wouldn't stare that much. Kai had his thoughts about it, stepping into that luxurious hotel dressed with an old worn out leather jacket and hiding his face would make him seem so suspicious. Nonetheless, he did as he was told. 

"Okay. You shouldn't come in." Mika said. "Wait there, in that coffee shop for a while, we will drag Philip out. You just keep him away from the hotel, convince him not to go and Reina and I will think of an excuse for later, when he will be asked to visit Mikain. Is that clear?" he asked him after he explained his very simple minded plan. Kai nodded, wanting to get rid of the annoying red head as fast as he could and walked inside the coffee shop. 

It was more like a dinner that was open twenty four seven. The building was not in the best condition and the lights outside, the bright sign that announced the name of the place was giving the impression that it would fall soon, killing whoever was unlucky enough. The place did not disappoint on the inside, disappoint in the way that Kai had believed it would be horrible and well, it was. 

He noticed a few flies flying around and he frowned, wondering in whose eggs they had sat and took a seat in the far back, making sure he wasn't visible from the huge window. He still wore his hoodie as his fingertip passed over the table. It was greasy and probably uncleaned. He understood now why they had sent him in here. First of all, Mika hated him and second, Reina probably thought their money hungry Alpha would not ever set eyes on a place like this.

He was still trying to get the sensation of the grease away from his fingertips when a cute waitress approached him. She had a bored expression while she held an empty cup that she let go on the table and filled it with black coffee. 

"Oh, no thanks I don't want any coffee." he told her without raising his head to look at her fully. 

"Then what do you want?" she asked him rudely. 

"Do you have wine?" Kai asked. It was the drink of his preference and at times like this alcohol was a big help. 

"Huh?" the waitress exclaimed, surprised with his answer. "Where do you think…" she started to say when Kai raised his head and looked at her, flashing her a charming smile. The girl stopped talking and blinked a few times, taking in how handsome she was. Her attitude immediately changed and she wore a shy smile. "I...I will ask in the back." she told him. 

"Thank you." Kai said. "Well, thank the Anger family for their genes." he mumbled and rubbed his eyes. He stole a glance towards the hotel. It was still a bit dark, even though it would be morning soon. Maybe because winter was approaching. Kai, for a long time, had avoided going out during the night. He wanted to make sure he would never meet someone of his own kind or a hunter, now, with how things were he seemed to be out only after the moon rises. 

"There you go." The girl said, appearing out of nowhere and she gently placed an old wine glass on his table. "It's my treat." she told him and he smiled gently at her, showing her a line of perfect teeth. 

"That's really kind of you. Thank you." he said. 

"Umm...would you maybe be interested in meeting with me after my shift?" she asked him. 

"What time do you get off?"

"In an hour or so." 

"Then great, I will be waiting outside" he told her and winked at her. Obviously he was not interested, or to make it clearer he was not interested in the way she was. He was just hungry. He wasn't planning on killing her of course. He could control his instincts if he managed to feed in time. He grabbed the glass and tasted the wine, a frown appearing on his face with the sour taste. It tasted more like vinegar, he thought. 

He was always in denial of the luxury he used to live in, pretending he did not want the royal comforts but the truth was at times like this he really missed it. The good wine and his soft bed, people doing everything he wanted. He shook his head, trying to push away the thoughts about home. Being a prince was nice but he was never free. At least now he could do whatever he wanted, even if that included drinking cheap wine at a shitty dinner. 

While he thought about that, staring at the dark red liquor in his glass the door chimed and the three wolves entered. 

Philip seemed to be unwilling to stay there and a few times he tried to escape but Rein pushed him towards the back. It took them a while for them to spot them and when they made Philip sit in front of him, at the other side of the table he took off his hoodie, making the werewolf gasp. 

"What is he doing here?" he asked. 

"He is here to put some sense into you. Talk to him. We will think of an excuse to keep Mikain away when he asks for you." Reina said. The two friends ran away fast, trying to take Philip's chance to run away. Now, it was just the two of them. 

"I am going to leave." Philip said and stood up.

"Sit down." Kai told him in a serious tone. 

"Or what? You're gonna ask me politely to sit?" he asked him ironically. 

"You little shit." Kai said and stood up, mimicking him. He grabbed Philip by the collar and his eyes turned a bright red before he pushed him down. The werewolf felt that if he had pushed him a bit stronger the seat would have broken. He stared at him with wide eyes, not really expecting that kind of reaction. 

"Is that the true you?" he asked him and Kai coughed before he sat down again. His eyes turned normal. 

"Partly. But we are not here to talk about me. We are here to talk about you and the stupidity that has taken over you." 

"What is it to you? Aren't you dating that vampire dude?" Philip asked him. "Also why are you drinking wine? It's morning."

"For the aesthetic. Is there a problem with that?" Kai asked him when the waitress approached them again, leaving a cup of coffee and a menu for Philip.

"Don't forget me." she told Kai sweetly. 

"I won't" he answered before she went back to her counter. 

"What the heck?"

"I need to feed from time to time you know." Kai explained and in Philip's face a disgusted expression appeared. The prince scoffed. "It's funny, you were all about helping me, being with me but the moment you hear that I need to feed to live you look so disgusted. Typical werewolf." 

"Well, it's sad that your curse was you being a bloodsucker isn't it?"

"At least I don't lose control when the moon is out and bite people"

"At least I don't have suicidal tedencies." Philip said and instantly regretted it. 

"Why did I even come here for?" The vampire said and sighed. "Your friends asked me to. They care about you. Don't be stupid and do something you'll regret for the rest of your life. Your Alpha, I am sure you don't need me to tell you but he is...perverted. You have no idea how it feels to get used, so just think about it again."

"Do you?"

"I am not the subject of conversation here, you are and you need to rethink things."

"You said you don't care for me so why are you here?" Philip asked him again and Kai rolled his eyes.

"I told you, your friends asked me."

"So you put your life at risk, you came here." he said scanning the sigusting diner with his eyes. "from Lun's mansion just to talk some sense into me while my pack is after you because my friends asked you?" Philip said, a grin appearing on his face. He was being encouraged by this. Who wouldn't actually? Being a generally good person wasn't really something supernatural creatures did so Kai had to have a reason for coming here. The prince wasn't a philanthropist. "I think you needed a better excuse."

"And I think you need to stop being such a fucking brat and focus on what I am telling you." Kai said between gritted teeth. He was starting to get annoyed at how cocky Philip was. He didn't like it, he wasn't used to it and it irked him like a bad itch on his arms. 

"So what will you do If I go? Walk right back in and knock on Mikain's door. I mean he is not ugly and I am not particularly picky about my partners so…"

"Fine, fine." Kai said as he rubbed his temples. Had he been getting too old for this kind of mind games or was it that he was too worried that Philip would actually do it if Kai didn't give in to his games. The prince was not fond of the idea. The werewolf and that creep together. He hated it. "I know talking won't change a thing when you're talking to someone with low intelligence so let's do it like this. What do you want, you big baby, so you won't go to Mikain?" he asked him and Philip laughed. 

"Stupid or not I still got you right where I want you." Philip said with a cocky grin. "So let's see. So I won't have to go to Mikain, I would have something else to keep me entertained. How about you spend the day with me? We will do whatever I want and you won't be able to leave." he told him, looking at him with fake innocent eyes. Kai blinked. Wasn't he supposed to be depressed and heartbroken? How did his mood change so fast? 

"I…"

"The clock is ticking" Philip said. 

"Okay. But listen to this." Kai said, pointing his finger at him. "After this day, you and I will never meet again"

"I bet by the end of the day you will be thinking otherwise.." Philip told him.
