"It is unbelievable. I don't understand how they knew we would be there!" Mikain said. He had called the wolf warriors and Hans in his room. He was sitting on his couch, his legs  crossed as he rested his elbow on the armrest and rubbed his temples. Hans was standing too but he was right by his side while the three younger wolves stood in front of him. "And how is it possible that the three of you lost him when none of you was being followed?" he asked them, his dark eyes scanning their anxious faces. 

"Sir, it was just an unfortunate mission. They were ahead of us but Hans is  sending people towards where they escaped. We will get them sooner or later." Reina said. 

"We need the Prince's blood. No matter what, I...I contacted a coven and they…"

"What did you do Mikain?" Hans asked him, snapping his head towards him. His blue eyes were showing suspicion as the huge man talked. The Alpha was angry at first but now he looked at if he was pushed in a corner, restless as he mentioned the witch coven. 

"I contacted a coven. A very powerful one. They want the boy. They offered me money, a lot of money so I said yes. You don't break a deal with witches." 

"When did you even have the time to contact them? I thought we were supposed to talk about these things together first!" Hans exclaimed and looked at the three wolves. "You, get out for now. We will talk later." he instructed them. 

All of them the moment they left the room were finally able to breathe. They were standing like soldiers, frozen and expressionless, waiting to hear if they were going to be punished or not. Thankfully, Mikain made Hans change the subject and they were off the hook. 

"Mikain is screwed." Reina stated with a satisfied smirk and Mika nodded. 

"I just hope he is the only one that's screwed and not us." the red haired added. 

They walked back to their floors silent for quite a while. It had been a long night and they were tired. At the same time they were thinking of many things. Especially Philip, who hadn't said a word since they left. 

They almost kissed, Kai was so close and seemed to want it too so why did he tell him to go back? It wasn't just a simple sentence. The werewolf knew it. It was something more. As if he had been pushing him away. His eyes though, those light blue eyes with the green details in them, those beautiful eyes were telling a different story. The prince was like a code, a puzzle he was struggling to solve but it was occupying his mind all the time.

"I am going to hit the gym." he told them. 

"At this hour? Aren't you tired?" mIka asked him as he took out his card key from his pocket. He placed it in front of his room's door and the clicking sound of it unlocking was heard in the silent hallway. He pushed the door open slowly and stood at the door frame. 

"Yeah, I just need to blow off some steam. Clear my head." Philip explained. He didn't really wait for Mika's answer and started walking. His hands were dived into the pockets of his jeans while his head was facing downwards. He looked at the red carpets, spotting a coin on the floor. He picked it up, and stared at it under the light. It shone, crystal clear a bright golden color. 

"It's your lucky day it seems" Reina told him and he scoffed, tossing the coin back to the floor. 

"Won't you go to sleep?" he asked her and she waved her head negatively. 

"I need to talk to you about something. We were interrupted before so I couldn't finish. Philip, I want to ask you something and you need to answer me very honestly." she said and stopped walking. Philip mimicked her, curious as to why she had suddenly turned so serious. 

"Tell me."

"What do you feel about Kai? I need to know." She said and Philip's eyes widened. 

"What does that have to do with anything?"

"Just tell me, and be honest. I promise I won't tell anyone. I swear." she told him and Philip sighed. 

He rubbed the back of his neck, thinking of what he was supposed to say. Liking someone was simple. It was an attraction but with Kai, could he describe it like that? Those feelings that seemed to have nested in his heart were so complicated he couldn't even understand them. How could he phrase it with such simple words as liking? 

"I don't know how to express what I feel." he told her, feeling embarrassed at how lost he sounded. 

"Describe it then." 

"I don't know him very well,  but I don't know why from the first moment I saw him it was as if he had put a spell on me. His face seemed so beautiful to me. The way he moved, the cold way he talked. He was someone I had never seen before, I don't think anyone like him could exist. I want him. I want to touch him and kiss him. I want to make Kai smile and I want to make him cry, I want to just have him. I don't know what this is, I don't….I, I am in pain even at the thought of him being hurt." he said and heard Reina sigh. The girl seemed to be perplexed. Anxious even.

"Could Kai be your mate Philip?" She asked him. The werewolf was so shocked by what she had said that he took a step, his eyes wide. He had never thought about it. Kai was a vampire, yes sometimes werewolves had humans as mates but that was as far as it went. A werewolf and a vampire? It was unheard. He shook his head, the wild locks moving as he did. 

"No, there is no way. I would know if he is my mate Reina, don't say such stupid things." he told her and she clicked her tongue. 

"Then there is no reason for you to know." she mumbled.

"Know what?"

"About the Bloody People. If you don't have strong feelings for Kai you should never involve yourself in something like that." she said. 

"No. Tell me. I want to know, I need to know." He told her. 

"I won't." she said and attempted to leave. Philip grabbed her arm, pulling her back and she scoffed, pushing back her long black hair. 

"Please Reina." he told her, begging her with his saddened voice. The girl took a few seconds. She was looking at him, probably trying to see if he was actually sincere. She took his hand and they went down the stairs, they couldn't be in the middle of the hallways for this, anyone could be hearing. Two floors below there was an emergency exit that led to some sort of balcony with a metal staircase that led to another floor. All those stairs were connected in case of emergency. She kicked the door, opening it by force and took Philip out. They were high above the ground, standing at the edge of a metallic platform and the man frowned, seeing the distance.

"Fine. But this place is better."

"Well, that's debatable." 

"You're kind of like an immortal, you can't really be scared of heights." Reina said.

"You can feel the pain though, that's enough reason for me to be scared of them." Philip said and watched her as she rolled her eyes at him. He had stuck his back on the wall of the hotel, trying to stay as far away from the edge as he could.

"You're such a child sometimes, but back to what I was saying. The bloody people Philip. That's not their actual name. They're an organization. Vampires that live in BloodBound but they also act in the human world too. No one really knows who they are and they have been more like a scary story during these years rather than actual existing vampires. The true name of the organization is called the Nightshades, vampires avoid calling them by their true name because they think it's bad luck."

"So these people are after Kai? But why?" Philip asked and Reina shrugged her shoulders. 

"All I know is that they are like a cult.  It is said they want the purity of the vampire race, ridiculous if you ask me because oh well, we are all cursed. They go after vampires who do not fit their standard of purity. They torture them, kill them do all kinds of things to them. They are scary, powerful and dangerous. That's why if you don't…"

"I need to find Kai." Philip said and jumped back inside.

"Wait. Didn't you listen to me? They are dangerous. You and Kai, after three weeks will be done, why put yourself in such danger just for a fleeting emotion?" she asked him.

"I don't know Reina, I don't know. All I know is that I have to find him."

"And do what?" 

"Talk to him! Fuck stop asking me questions okay?"

"I am asking you because I care about you, you fool. Recklessly going and putting yourself in such danger is…"

"Help me find where he is plese. You have many connections." 

"Have I been talking to the wall all this time?!" She asked him angrily.
