The sun had fallen when Philip and Kai decided it was time for them to return. This adventure that had scared the vampire had ended in the best possible outcome, making him forget about what was to come for a while.

Kai had always been battling himself. His urges, his feelings, his entire existence and even before Philip had appeared he was slowly but steadily reaching his limit. The werewolf appearing was almost like the final straw. His eyes, his lips, his hands. Everything about him, from his voice to the cockiness and confidence in his words were enough to shake his world up again. 

Mere moments, that's what Kai needed to give up this whole front he had set up for years and think thataybe, just for a while he could live. It was liberating, the feeling while he closed the door of Philip's car and watched him drive away, framed by the soft moonlight.

The night wasn't hostile anymore, the stars didn't shine to expose his sins and the moon was not judging him with its cold light. The night was home, for them both because under the night sky they felt like no one could touch them. The veil of the dark sky was enough, the deep blue covering their bodies as they kissed. 

He had felt like that before, all too familiar but at the same time new. Kai was overwhelmed with happiness for the first time. 

That was why when he entered Lun's mansion he was humming an old song, the word coming out naturally to him. He heard talking, his best friend and Soran and he headed towards the living room, excited to share his news. He was sure Lun was going to be excited about his return, about the decision he had taken. 

Even before he entered the room he had raised his voice, announcing his arrival.

"Listen to me you peasants!" He exclaimed and then entered the living room. 

The excited prince stopped in his tracks. The view that he had before him was definitely not what he was expecting. The man he faced, sitting on Lun's couch with his legs crossed as he held a glass of expensive wine, was not one of his friends, he was a member of his family.

"Hello little brother" His familiar voice echoed into the room. He had a vicious smile on his face while his eyes landed on him. Kai gulped, feeling the sureness of before slowly leaving his body.

"Xan, what are you doing here?" Kai asked him, his voice almost a whisper. He was scared of his older brother, he had always been. Of his cunning ways, his deceit. He was the perfect example of a pureblood vampire, loved and feared by everyone. Envied and he, well he watched everyone from above as lesser. His brother and sister didn't know, they had no idea about what happened in the family, about the Bloody People. All they knew was probably that he had run away, reckless and not willing to face his responsibilities.

"I came to help with that pack of puppies." Xan announced. 

He was tall with long legs and broad shoulders. His eyes were icy blue while his hair, short and pushed to the back in a similar way as his were snowy white, even whiter than Soran's. He looked as if he was in his late twenties, a pair of black glasses on his face. He didn't need them but he probably chose them for the style. He also had a beauty mark on the outer side underneath his left eye. 

He was dressed casually, with a white turtleneck and a pair of black jeans, an expensive golden watch resting on his wrist. This was the first time Kai was seeing him with modern clothes. 

"We don't need your help." Kai said.

"You don't? Then tell me why did you spend the day with that little werewolf of yours? I thought you had killed him. Did he resurrect?" He asked him and Kai's eyes widened. 

"How did you….did you tell him?" 

"No!" Lun exclaimed. "He had someone follow you the moment he arrived here. I didn't know anything." His best friend told him.

"Don't get involved in my business." Kai said between gritted teeth.

"Does he know?" Xan asked, the same malicious smile remaining on his face. "Does he remember that one day you killed him and then disappeared? I still wonder, you know, little brother, what happened? Don't you think he has to know?" 

"Xan. Stay away from Philip" Kai said between gritted teeth, his fists closed on his sides.

"I'm terrified now." He mocked him with a cold laugh. "I have no reason to involve myself with that annoyance you call fate. I came here to deal with Moonshine. You will bring your own demise sooner or later, when he remembers and he tries to rip you to shreds...because you...you can't tell him what happened, can you?" He asked and Kai gasped. 

He knew. Somehow Xan knew about the blood oath. 

"How do you know about that?"

"Actually I know everything. I did my research. You know how I hate it when people hide things from me. I could get up right this instant and explain everything to that dog of yours and fix your life's problem. But I won't." He said with a bright smile. "I do enjoy watching people suffer"

"Xan...if you can help your brother…" Soran said and the crown prince stared at him.

"Why would I want to do that?" Xan asked with an innocent look. "Do you want me to help you dear brother?" He asked. 

"I want you to fuck off." Kai swore at him and his brother laughed. He stood up, sipping invisible dust from his jeans.

"See? I was kind enough to ask. Well, excuse me. My trip was a bit tiring. I mean we have all the time in the world to talk now that I found you brother. I can make you suffer all I want but sleep for now is more important." He said as he passed him by, stopping at the door. "Oh, and good luck with that thing you call...love. I wish I would have found you sooner. I would be able to kill Philip so you wouldn't meet him again" he told him, making Kai's heart break. 

His brother left the room as if it was nothing, leaving the three friends speechless.

"So you are in love with that." Soran told Lun.

"Love is not always reasonable." The man mumbled, embarrassed.

"We need to get Xan to talk. If he does then we will be able to tell Philip what happened. Then things will be fixed." Soran proposed. 

Kai didn't say anything though. He bit his lip as he sat on the couch, hiding his face between his palms.

"It's not going to work. It won't work, that bastard will never speak!" He said, filled with anger. "You knew he would come, that's why you were happy I would be gone. I got together with Philip and now I come back to this?" He asked in despair.

"I'm sorry Kai. There was really nothing we could do. The royal family requested it." Soran said.

"At least he didn't tell your parents about it" Lun said.

"He will, when he is done with me he will do it and drag me home. The moment I am home I will be hunted down and killed because my whole family are idiots!" He shouted and smacked his head on the couch, piercing a whole through it.

"Is it really impossible to make Xan talk?" 

"I...he won't talk to Philip, that's for sure" Kai said.

"What if I try?" Lun asked and both of them stared at him as if he was insane. 

"You're so delusional after all. My brother hates you."

"I would debate that because…."

"He hates you Lun." Soran agreed with the prince.

"So what are we going to do? I am sure he has some kind of plan to ruin everything for you." Lun told Kai. "We're just going to let him?" 

"I...I will have to stay away from Philip." Kai mumbled.

"You're such an idiot." Lun commented. "You won't be doing that. I won't let you"

"Then what? Should I bring him here to meet my brother? Try to make them friends? He is capable to alter the fucking story and go find Philip now just to ruin everything. This little time I have he will take it away from me."

"He won't. Kai, I will make him talk. I swear. It might take time but I will." Lun said, his drive visible in his kind eyes and the prince sighed.

"I trust you"

"As you should" his best friend told him with a smile.
