The Tears of a Prince

Lun's garden was beautiful. To some extent it reminded Kai of the gardens in the palace, not so wide but still incredibly beautiful. Green freshly cut grass, flowers and stone pathways. A gazebo dressed with dark green vines and a small pond with fish. Everything seemed to be perfectly made with much thought. In BloodBound gardens were actually a big deal. Royal families and rich vampires spend excessive amounts of money for their gardens, they use them as a way to boast. Dead inside creatures managing to keep life alive, it is a bit ironic but still it was beautiful.

John welcomed the prince, letting him walk with him and they started talking.

"I know you must be anxious." Kai said and stared at the young man with a comforting expression. 

John shrugged his shoulders, he wasn't really good with words. He always seemed to be out of place, not following the current of things but inside of him, everything was tangled, he paid attention to everything and the events all around him scared him.

"I don't know. There are so many things happening at the same time. It's a bit overwhelming." He said and saw a small smile appear on Kai's face.

"I get it. It's your birthday tomorrow. What would you like as a present?" He asked him and John gasped, surprised.

"A present? For me?" 

"Of course! You should celebrate. It's an important moment. Mate aside, you will be turning twenty, your first birthday into your new life." 

"I've never gotten a present." John mumbled and rubbed the back of his neck. "Boss, I don't really have anything that I want as a present but can I ask you something? That will be my wish." John asked the prince and Kai nodded eagerly. "Can you promise me? One day after everything is done, after you become happy again can you promise me that you will open a shop again and that you will hire me?" The young man asked him. Kai blinked, startled by his question but somehow he loved it. He looked at John and hugged him, something he didn't usually do.

"I'm really sorry I got you involved in this but at the same time I am really thankful. I am thankful that I got to have someone like you by my side. You are an amazing young man and yes. I wouldn't want anything else more than to be in that shop with you. One day, even if our paths happen to separate for a while, I am sure, you will be annoyingly knocking on my door" he said with a chuckle and the werewolf smiled purely.

"Thank you!" He said, his eyes filled with gratitude and Kai patted his head. "Boss, about my mate...I think...I might…." John began saying but he didn't manage to finish his sentence. A loud scream echoed in the house and both of their heads snapped. "What was that?" 

"I don't know." Kai whispered and wearily looked around. He heard the sound of the door in the kitchen opening and then closing loudly. He stood in front of John, placing his arm in front of him in a protective motion. He wouldn't let anyone hurt John, he thought but in the distance he managed to spot his brother. He flashed right before them, stopping right in front of Kai.

"We need to leave." He said and the younger prince looked behind Xan, looking for the other two men. Soran actually opened the back window of his floor, getting on the balcony and jumping off, skillfully like a cat he landed just a few meters away from them. In just a few seconds he had reached them too.

"What is going on?" He asked too and Xan sighed.

"They found Lun's men. They are here. We need to hurry before they realize we are not in there and search back here." The crown prince let them know.

"Lun? Where is Lun?" Kai asked, his face showing how worried he was about his best friend. He attempted to walk back into the house but his brother stopped him, standing right before his path.

"You can't go back there. There are too many of them. Even if you kill them all, more will keep coming." He warned him.

"I won't let Lun in there." Kai told him, staring up to meet his eyes. "I am not like you. I won't leave him behind."

"Kai, maybe we should get you to a safe location. I am sure Lun is smart enough to think of a way to escape" Soran proposed. "He gave us a bit of time, we need to take advantage of it. Don't make his try go in vain he…"

"Are you people insane!" He shouted at them. "What made you ever think that I would leave Lun behind? Lun!" He screamed and tried to ran away but Xan grabbed him from the back of his collar, stopping him and pulling him back.

"I will go." Xan said. "I will go and bring Lun back!" He said

"I don't trust you." Kai said between gritted teeth and his older brother sighed.

"You'll have to." He mumbled and placed his hands on his head. Kai, not expecting what he was about to do, found himself unconscious.

"What did you do?" John asked as he watched Kai fall into Soran's arms.

"Take him away. Find a safe place. Don't worry I will be able to find you. I've marked Kai" Xan said, ignoring completely John and Soran nodded.

"Come on." Soran told the young wolf and they ran deeper into the back of the garden. They would find the fence and jump out. A huge forest spread beyond that, they would probably choose to hide there for a while.

Xan turned around, looking at the mansion. He could clearly hear the sound of furniture breaking, screams. So Lun was actually fighting them, he thought and rolled his eyes. He ran back inside, finding himself in the kitchen and then he walked towards the entrance. The vampire was still there, panting and beaten up, his shirt had huge rips on it while he was in the middle of a circle the wolves had made. He was surrounded fighting for his life.

There was a column there, Xan laid back and clicked his tongue, the slightest sound drawing their attention. Many heads turned, as one and he grinned.

"Ts, ts, ts. You all lack elegance. And you Lun, the son of the underworld's leader should have finished them off already. Such poor performance." He said. 

"What the heck are you doing here?" Lun shouted at him. His dark eyes were wide, filled with surprise, panting as he watched Xan take off his glasses and place them in his pockets. 

The crown prince didn't have time to answer. The crowd of werewolves had scattered, now a bunch of them targeting him too, their claws out, growling at him. 

A few launched forward, meaning to push him down. He grabbed one of them by the neck, shattering his bones as if they were made from glass and threw him towards his allies. A few of them took a few steps back, terrified but most of them kept heading straight. He felt someone jump on his back, trying to suffocate him while another punched Xan in the face. Lun tried to get to him, help him somehow but he realized he had his own fight to finish. There were too many, more than fifty of them. 

"You dogs fight like idiots" he groaned as he tasted his own blood and grabbed the wolf that was on his back, bringing him forward. His eyes shone red, just like his younger brother's and his fangs appeared, showing them he was ready to kill them all. 

He started fighting one of them. He got kicked in the ribs and then immediately after he felt the claws of werewolf land on his cheek. The prince scoffed and while his opponent attempted to kick him again he grabbed his leg, then he raised his arm up and broke his knee with elbow. The werewolf howled, falling to the ground and Xan crushed his skull with his foot. 

Lun grabbed a vase, threw it at them, the expensive porcelain smashed right in front of their feet and he flashed before them, grabbing two of them and smacking their heads together. 

Another one jumped from the side, pushing Lun away and throwing him to the ground. He began punching him, making him hiss and the vampire tried to find a way to free himself.

"You idiot. I came back to free you! Don't die!" Xan shouted and Lun's head snapped to the side. His eyes widened. The crown prince was rushing towards him, intending to help him.

"Xan! Watch out!" He screamed, blood blurring his vision. He wished he had turned blind, he wished he wasn't able to see what followed.

One of the wolves had grabbed a chair, he had broken it and was holding a wooden stick. It was too late. He had called him too late. The werewolf passed the stick through Xan's chest.

"No!" Lun screamed in shock. 

The prince fell to his knees, blood escaping his lips. The stick passed right through him.

"Don't die you idiot." He mumbled as he fell to the ground. 

"Xan! No!" Lun cried out.. That was the last thing he saw before everything turned dark.
