The Tears of a Prince

Best novel online free at LatestNovel.Net or SweetNovel.Net

Reina hated rushed things. She was the kind of person that liked to plan and execute making sure success was the only option. As she got flooded with information though, as everything changed so fast because of the whims of their stupid leader the girl had to adapt. 

She had agreed with Philip, realizing that getting to the witches would be much more efficient but they couldn't leave in the middle of the night. So they had decided to wait, Mikain would summon them, together with the rest of the pack and when they were sent out they would get the chance to leave and ask around in the corners of the city that sheltered other supernatural creatures about where the witches are.

Things happened according to plan at first. Mikain had gathered all of them into a room he had booked, one of those doctors used for conferences in fancy hotels like the one they were staying in, and let the werewolves in about the situation. He seemed to have forgotten about Philip for now and the young man sighed in relief once the meeting was over. His orders were brief, spread out into the city and search for the prince. Bring him back dead or alive. 

"Do you really think this is going to work?" Philip asked Reina once they stepped out of the hotel, together with the rest of their pack members. A whole swarm of people had exited the building and now in small groups of four or five people they blended in with the humans, searching in their faces to find the one they were looking for and Philip, really hoping that Kai had decided to listen to him and stay in. 

"I have no idea." Reina told him. "We will go to a few spots that I know. I have people there who could provide us with some information." She said and they set off too. 

The first place Reina was talking about was a little bar, hidden from the busy main street, deep into an alley. It's door was made of old wood, polished with the design of a blue bird on the door. 

Reina pushed the door and the voice of the owner was heard, hidden behind the bar.

"We're closed." He said and the girl smiled.

"Not for me." Reina answered and the man, recognizing her voice, shot up, staring at her with wide eyes. 

It was the first time Philip had seen a shapeshifter. How did he know? His eyes were a deep purple color, exposed for people like him to see. Shapeshifters were rare, mostly because it was hard to figure them out from the rest of the people. They had the ability to change their appearance, look like people they had seen on the street just once and blend in with everyone else. 

"Reina!" The man exclaimed surprised and jumped up, dodging the wooden counter and hugged the girl. He had the appearance of a thirty something man, a bit short with black long hair and a black mustache. A towel thrown on his left shoulder.

"Aram. I am so glad to see you." She said hugging him back and the man smiled at her 

"Me too. What can I get you?" He asked her. 

"The truth is...I didn't come here for a drink but for some information." She said and the man named Aram looked at Philip. "He is fine, he is my friend" she said and Aram moved back behind this counter. Reina walked towards him, Philip following her wearily. 

"Okay then. So tell me, what is it that you want to know?" He asked her.

"We are looking for a witch coven." She said and the man's eyes widened in shock.

"Why in hell would you look for the spawns of Satan. Honestly, do you want to die?" He asked her and she laughed, finding his reaction funny. 

"Well, not necessarily but I get it, it sounds crazy."

"I always knew you were crazy but this...this is on a whole other level" he mumbled, shaking his head. "Which coven is it?" 

"I don't know their official name but I do know the name of their leader. She is named Aira." Reina shared the information she got from Mikain with the shapeshifter and he frowned, seeming very concerned at the sound of the name. His eyes traveled to Reina and then to Philip, scanning them as if he wanted to make sure they were in their right minds. 

"That woman is horrifying." He stated and the girl nodded. "I really don't want to get involved in…"

"Please." Philip said, talking for the first time. "It's really important. Lives are on the line." He said.

"A philanthropist, wow" Aram mocked him and Reina scoffed, getting his attention again. 

She put her hand in her right pocket, taking out a little bag that was filled almost to the brim with a deep blue dust. Aram realized immediately what it was and smiled, his eyes glued to the bag. "Now you're talking." He said and extended his hand to get the bag. Reina though pulled it away from him

"First you tell me what I want to know, then you get the bag." She told him sweetly. Aram nodded, and pulled out a piece of paper from underneath the counter. He wrote an address and the name of a shop and handed it to her.

"This is a restaurant. She goes to eat dinner there every night. She usually has two more witches with her, her trusted people. I would be very careful if I were you" he told her and Reina took the paper from his hand, passing him the bag at the same time.

"Don't worry, we will. Oh and if anyone finds out that we were here, I'll kill you" she told him with a sweet smile. He frowned and shooed her off, not even looking at them as they left, his eyes stuck on the bag. 

Once they were out of the little bar Philip looked at Reina confused.

"That bag, is it what I think it is?" He asked her and she nodded.

"Dragon's fins" she answered.

"Reina, those are drugs. Where the hell did you get them and why did he want it?" 

"I have a lot of things Lun, this is how you negotiate in the real world. Aram sells it on his bar, he can't get it from the source though, which is a high ranked vampire family at BloodBound because they only have vampire dealers. Dragon's fins is very expensive and highly addictive. From that bag alone he probably will make around 5K." She explained.

"What the fuck." Philip mumbled and she shrugged her shoulders.

"You do what you gotta do. Now we know where we can find her. Let's hope they don't find out about Lun's home by tonight." She said. 

"Let's hope that Aira woman is not as scary as she sounds." Philip added and Reina nodded.

"Come on, we have to pretend that we're looking for Kai.." She told him.
