Their little conversation had continued for hours. Kai and Xan wouldn't stop arguing at every point of the plan and make things difficult but no one really dared to stop them except Lun a few times. These two brothers were actually really scary. 

After quite some time they had finally reached the conclusion that killing Mikain was their best option. It had to be fast and it had to happen quickly. Kai agreed to that immediately. First of all he wanted his brother out of there, he had enough problems, him being added to the pile was just gruesome. Second of all, freeing himself from the threat of the wolves reduced the groups that followed him by one and actually gave him the opportunity to think about what he wanted to do with the whole Philip situation. 

So getting Mikain out of the way was their best option at the moment. 

Everyone was exhausted when their talk ended, they had agreed to send out people, not aware about the wolves that were running around in the city, to search for the best chance to attack Mikain. After one or two days of gathering information they would attack. Lun sent out more than fifteen people, threatening them all of course that if they returned with empty hands they would die, get fired first actually and then die. It seemed weird to Kai, the way he changed when he talked to the people of his organization. It was a part of him that he hid, trying to show only when necessary. 

Soran had excused himself while John wanted to take a walk. Kai could see that the young werewolf was getting anxious. Not only because of the mission but also because his birthday was tomorrow. John was new to all of these, the idea of having someone that he would spend eternity with, the uncertainty of what was about to come must have been difficult to bear. So he stood up and followed him, leaving Lun with Xan, wanting to have a talk with him and maybe manage to soothe his anxiety.

"You people are cowards." Xan scoffed as he stood up. His eyes scanned the cupboards above the sink and he randomly opened one, facing a pile of plates. He rolled his eyes, opening a second one and found mugs.

"On your right" Lun said and the white haired man stared at him.

"You should have people for that." The crown prince said and the vampire laughed.

"For what? Pouring me a glass of water? Should I hire people to wipe my ass too?" He asked him.

"Don't be so disgusting." 

"Let's go out" Lun told him. Xan turned around, supporting himself on the edge of the sink, drinking his water as he looked at him like he was the biggest idiot in this world. 

"Go out for what? With you? Alone? Joking so early in the morning does not fit you." Xan said and Lun shook his head. He stood up and approached the prince, standing in front of him, close but not enough to alarm him.

"I wasn't joking, you know. My people will take a few hours to come back. I mean, I hope they were lucky enough to find something and return but for now we do have some times. Let me show you the city and the sights" he told him.

"You are truly insane. We have much more important things to think of." Xan said, fixing his black pair of glasses on his face. Lun observed him, trying to see if he had started to get annoyed, maybe not yet, he didn't have his signature expression of disgust on his face, even though his blue eyes were as cold as always. Such a big difference in his attitude with Kai. Lun thought about it, when he had met his friend Kai had seemed cold and distant as if he was pretending. Now it was pretty clear who he was mimicking to get by. Lun scoffed, a smile spreading on his face. "Why are you laughing?" The crown prince asked.

"It's nothing. I just thought of something. But do tell me my dear prince. Why are you so handsome?" Lun asked him with a devious grin. Xan was taken aback at first, his lips parting slightly, his eyelashes fluttering aggressively.

"What…" he mumbled and pushed Lun away, wanting to step out from the little space he was detained in. "Stop it."

"Stop what?" 

"What you're doing. This idiotic plan of seducing me just to be on your side and spill everything about Kai to his lover."

"You think I'm trying to seduce you for this?" Lun asked, his grin getting bigger. Even though the prince had walked away from him the vampire had followed, he pushed him, his back touching the cold wall, his eyes landing on Lun's handsome face as he placed his right hand next to his face. "I am not that bad, you know how much I like you my dear prince" he said. 

Xan averted his gaze, an unreadable expression on his face. He didn't say anything. He remained silent.

"I don't know what you're trying to do." Xan said. "Also remove your filthy body from in front of me. I want to go"

"Go where?" Lun asked with a seductive smile.

"Somewhere!" Xan exclaimed. He had talked out loud, almost shouting but his voice was covered by the sound of the doorbell.

Lun would like to admire this side of the crown prince more, speechless and flustered, it encouraged him to know that if he pulled his strings right he could get something out of it. The doorbell disoriented them both and the scream that followed also worked as an alarm.

Lun's eyes widened. It was one of the maids, her scream echoed loudly until the kitchen and the vampire grabbed Xan's arm.

"Hide" he told the prince.

"Don't be ridiculous I…"

"Ran out through the window door, find Kai and hide." Lun told him again, his expression deadly serious. "I can't afford you being hurt." He said and pushed him towards the huge window door Kai had walked out from a while back. 

Lun didn't wait to make sure if the prince had left. He could hear the door slide as he exited the kitchen and he smiled. His doorstep was flooded by wolves, one of them holding one of his men by the neck. He was dead. The vampire clicked his tongue.

"Coming to someone else's house uninvited is rude." He told them. "But I guess you were polite enough to knock." He added and his eyes noticed one of the maids, dead on the floor, her heart ripped out.. Soon all of them would turn into dust, him too, probably.
