...

Sometimes nights seem to last less than a second. Sometimes the dark sky comes and goes like a flash and the comfort of the midnight breeze disappears before you've managed to enjoy it. Sometimes the stars flicker for too little and then they are gone as if someone had turned their switch off. 

Kai used to hate those kinds of nights. He was a vampire after all, the night and the lonely moon had always been more comforting than the scorching sun. One more reason was that back in BloodBound his nights were always wonderful. Balls, masquerades, luscious dinners and little escapes into the bustling city were what he lived for. His nights though changed, they became the shelter for his young love, a shield for him to meet with Philip. The prince used to love the night time and maybe he was starting to find that love again. 

Thankfully for him his night today was not the short kind. He had sat with Lun and John in the living room, talking quietly after his little talk with his friend. The young werewolf was stunned by everything but at the same time he seemed to enjoy it. Yes, Kai could understand. The rush of their world, the secrets and the mysteries. Everything looked so compelling but the truth was that the more you knew, the more you wished to get out.

"John, it's your birthday soon right?" Kai asked the young man and he nodded with a shy smile.

"Yes, I will be turning twenty. Actually I always get confused with my birthday because my mum said that I wasn't truly born the day they had written on my papers. So up to a point I was celebrating my birthday on a different day…"

"I don't get it…" Lun interrupted him and John rolled his eyes.

"Well, if you'd let me finish, maybe you would." He said and the vampire smiled, winking at him. 

"I thought you were eighteen"

"I look younger than what I am. Anyways my birthday as I was trying to say is in three days" he announced with a huge smile.

"That means you will get a mate. How will you be able to find them though? You're a new soul" Kai mumbled while he thought about it.

"I guess we will see." The werewolf said as he shrugged his shoulders. He was trying to be calm about this, the truth was though he was scared. Having a bond with someone you didn't know for the rest of your life seemed terrifying. What if they were a horrible person and John couldn't help but love them? That thought couldn't stop bugging him.

"You have to tell us when you know. I am quite good at giving love advice." Lun said with a grin and John frowned.

"Judging from your love interest I would say otherwise." John told him and Kai chuckled. Lun raised his eyebrows, surprised with his attack but didn't say anything, he didn't actually make it because a loud banging on the front door made everyone flinch.

"What the heck?" Lun mumbled and stood up, heading to the entrance. He opened the huge door of the mansion just to see Philip, panting and with a rip on his cheekbone looking at him.

"Hi" he said with a wide smile "Is Kai here?" He asked.

"How did you get past the guards?" Lun asked him before he let him in and the wolf smirked.

"I knocked them out. They are still alive though don't worry." He told him and Lun sighed. He moved to the side, rubbing his temples as he led Philip inside.

"These idiots I am firing all of them" he whispered while he walked behind him.

Kai was surprised. He didn't expect to see him there but he instantly smiled. He always looked so handsome. His leather jacket on his shoulders, a T-shirt and an old pair of sneakers with jeans. Even with the simplest of clothing he looked like a god. 

"Hey" Kai said, his voice smooth and sweet. Every time he appeared it was as if he was forgetting all of his problems, not even thinking what would happen next. It was almost as if he had been charmed.

"Hi." Philip said. "Sorry to bother you, I...I just wanted to leave from the pack for a bit." He said and his hazel eyes turned cloudy. The prince noticed it and stood up, heading towards him.

"Is everything okay?" He asked him and took his hand in his. It was warm, Philip was always warm whenever he touched him. Even though he didn't care about the cold, his warmth was always welcome, it made him feel alive. 

"Yes, yes...I...I am fine. Just missed you" he told him sweetly and Kai chuckled.

"We were together just a while back." Kai told him and the young werewolf shrugged his shoulders.

"Can't help how I feel"

"This is disgusting." Lun commented as he walked past them and sat down on the couch.

"Don't blame them just because you keep getting rejected." John verbally attacked him again and Lun scoffed 

"I've been too nice to you haven't I, little werewolf?" He asked him with a grin and John gulped, falling back to the couch. "Good, that's what I thought." He told him with a bright smile that made John roll his eyes. 

Kai moved closer, his lips getting near Philip's ear as he spoke.

"I know you're lying." He whispered to him.

"We all have supernatural hearing in this room, you know" Lun said and Kai shot him a nasty glare.

"Come on. Let's go to my room. Hopefully their supernatural hearing will not bother us" he told Philip and grabbed his hand, intending to head to the staircase.

His steps were cut short though because someone stood before them, stopping their path. The tall man looked at Philip with a disgusted gaze and then his brother .

"What the fuck is he doing here? Are you insane?" Xan asked Kai and the crown prince's eyes turned crimson as he stared at the werewolf filled with hate.
