"We have been here for hours. My feet are tired and I am freezing cold! Why did we decide to be on the lookout so early?" Philip whined.

At the moment they were hiding behind a car, crouching on the ground exactly opposite of the restaurant they had been informed the witch would go. It was a very beautiful building, designed based on classic architecture with white marbles and tall ceilings. Inside Philip could see clearly from the wide windows that people were waiting in line just for a table. The waiters dressed in tuxedos while the silverware was shining underneath the candle light. It seemed like a place Mikain would enjoy going. That thought alone was very displeasing and the werewolf frowned from time to time, thinking about what could be happening in the pack at the moment. He didn't care much about the others, Kai though. He couldn't stop thinking about him.

Bringing the vampire in his thoughts was like a sweet poison. It tasted amazingly, a rich taste that reminded him of fruits and wine but at the same time he could feel his mind melting, as if acid had landed on it. It was the least peculiar, this mix of feelings he had inside of him, a storm and a clear sky, a snowy mountain and a calm seashore. He couldn't explain it and putting it into words could be impossible. That's why he had all those images in his mind, all of them surrounding the memory of his beautiful face, the sound of his smooth voice, the elegance of his movements. He caused all of these, he had made the pictures appear and the more Philip cared about him, the more he felt like there was something wrong with him. Falling in love was a first, he didn't think he was ready for it and that scared him. Also, there could be a time limit, possibly actually. After that what would happen? He couldn't help but wonder.

"Shut up" Reina scolded him, pulling him back from his confusing thoughts. In just a few minutes his mind had traveled so far. "You think I'm having a blast here?" She asked him. "We need to wait though. It's night. She will get hungry at some point!" She said, sounding almost as if she was trying to convince herself.

"I'm hungry too." He mumbled and the girl scoffed, eyeing him with anger.

"Think why we are doing this."

"For Kai."

"And for the pack."

"Yeah, that too." The werewolf man agreed lightheartedly and heart his friend sighed. He smiled, knowing already that Reina considered him a lost cause. It was fine though, he didn't mind.

"I hope she doesn't eat us out." Reina said, concerned. They had little time to organize. This was a last resort but still she could calculate easily all the things that could go wrong.

"We can only hope." Philip said and she nodded. It was too late to back down. Their eyes focused on the entrance again, both of them observing the cars that stopped. After about an hour, when it was already around ten a huge black limousine stopped in front of the restaurant. A woman stepped outside, dressed in black, tattooed arms and a gorgeous figure. Reina's eyes widened, she elbowed Philip, showing him the woman. "Is that her?" He asked.

"Yes. Look at the tattoos. This is Aira." Reina whispered. "Come on, let's go to the back." She ushered him and both of them, hiding behind the rushing cars and street lamps, looking almost like a parody reached the back of the restaurant. There was another door there, made for the staff and taking out the trash. Reina and Philip had to hide again, this time in a less pleasant place. They stood between two huge garbage bins waiting.

For once they seemed to be lucky. The door opened slowly, releasing them from having to smell the stink of rotten food. Two men walked out, holding more garbage in their hands, ready to throw them in the dumpsters and leave. At that moment Reina and Philip jumped forward. They grabbed them by their necks, suffocating them so they fainted. The men got dragged further into the back of the dead end road and had their clothes removed from them. In Reina's body the uniform looked a little bit odd, oversized but the truth was none of the two cared about it. After they fixed their clothes a bit they entered, finding themselves in a very busy kitchen. More than twenty people were running around, an angry chef screaming orders and the werewolves gulped as they grabbed two silver trays from a stand. 

"What are you doing here?" The chef screamed and landed two plates onto Philip's tray. "Get that to table fifteen. Now!" He shouted and the man rushed outside, having no idea which was table fifteen. He scanned the room with his eyes, searching for Aira.

Such a beautiful lady was easy to be found, from her wild hair to her stunning smile she stood out in the crowd of people. She was accompanied by two witches. They were having some kind of funny conversation because the three of them hadn't stopped laughing. They were drinking white wine, Philip noticed as she grabbed her delicate glass, bringing it close to her lips. The werewolf observed her for a bit more, seeing how she moved, trying to understand her. As she took her last sip Aira raised her head, landing her big eyes right on him, startling him. A grin spread on her face. 

He was spotted. It was obvious that she knew what he was. From the way that she looked at him to how she moved her index finger, playfully calling him. Philip raised his head, not wanting to appear weak and started walking. Another waiter passed him by, heading to the kitchen and he passed him the tray 

"They said it didn't taste good and sent it back" he lied to the server and rushed away not caring about what he had to say. 

"Hello there. Did Mikain send you?" She asked. Philip didn't have the time to answer. "I doubt that. I heard he was busy, being enchanted and losing his prisoners. Really...that man is an idiot." She said and her friends giggled. "So, tell me young wolf, what brings you here?" She asked him again.

"I came here because I have an offer to make." Philip announced. "I think you will be interested." Aira raised her eyebrow. Her eyes left Philip and she called a waiter asking for another chair. The man seemed to be confused but did what he was asked anyways, bringing a chair for Philip to sit down. 

"I am listening." She told him.

"You won't be getting the prince you paid for." Philip said.

"And why is that?" 

"As you said...our Alpha is an idiot. Also the prince, he and his companions are very smart and very strong. Also he belongs to the Avger family, his brother came for him. Do you think it would be good for your coven to have his blood on your hands? We are not talking about just any kind of pureblood or vampire royal. We are talking about the monarchs" Philip informed her. During that time Aira had a smirk on her face, as if she was talking to a cute little child. Soon though it disappeared.

"That...idiot." she mumbled, showing how she got angered. I've already paid your Alpha. I will not be giving out my money like it's nothing. I warned him that if he did …."

"You will be getting something valuable in return." Philip interrupted her, giving her a charming smile

"Why are you doing all these little wolf? Are you scared about your pack or do you want to be the next Alpha?" She asked him. Philip shook his head.

"Kai, I mean the prince. I love him. I won't let him get hurt." 

"That's so sweet" she said, her words though we're not genuine, she almost sounded as if she was mocking him. "Did you say Kai...wait, is the prince named Kai?" She asked, a spark igniting her eyes.

"Yes."

"And who is with this prince of yours? Maybe a man named Lun?" She asked. "The underworld's boss" she exclaimed excitedly.

"Yes. But why do you care?" 

"Oh, I just happen to know him. I am fond of him. And I had heard him talk about looking for his friend, a vampire named Kai. Who would have guessed that the world was this small." She mumbled, her mood changed completely. "So tell me, what is it that you will offer me?"

"An Alpha. I will give you Mikain. You can dissect him, sell him, do whatever you want with him. He will get you lots of money. He is strong." Philip said and Aira's eyes widened.

"That doesn't sound bad but I also want Lun."

"What do you want him for?" Philip asked her, filled with suspicion.

"Nothing bad, I swear. So you will give me the alpha and Lun."

"And no one gets hurt."

"No one gets hurt." She agreed. "Except Mikain of course."

"Yes. So, we have a deal?" 

"I suppose we do" she told him and grabbed her bag from the side of her chair. She opened it and took out her wallet, finding a small little card and passing it to Philip. "Call me here when you're done. I won't wait long. If you don't make it I will come for your pack and your prince. Avger or not." She said. 

.....

Philip giving Lun away just like that xD Also don't get surprised how they know each other. If you think he is a mafia boss he has lots of connections. Just to make that clear.

Hope you liked the chapter!
