People fall in love, foolishly and in a hurry they let their hearts take over. Lose control of their minds as they close their ears while warnings are being shouted at them. People fall in love without wanting to and they can't stop it, no matter what. If love is supposed to be just hormones, a function of the brain, why are people attracted to others that cause them so much pain? So many questions surrounded the mystery that was called love and all of the answers of the world gathered still they did not paint clearly the image with the title, why do people fall in love and how? 

Many wish for it, the rushing heartbeats, the sweaty palms and the flushed cheeks. The endless daydreams and the beautiful scenarios. They await for a simple gaze or a slight touch of the hands. Their hearts flutter when they hear their name being called by the captor of their hearts. So many things, so many signs and still love is not explained. Even the ones who are cold, the people who stick to themselves someday, sometimes look at someone and the world around them changes. Love does that, it is almost like magic, a sweet illusion that brightens the scenery, makes the music louder and the jokes suddenly seem funnier. Love is like a drug, you get addicted to the idea of it still not knowing what it is exactly or where it will lead you. Some think it saves you, the thrill and the momentarily happiness but love like that, rough, reckless and in a hurry, dangerous with uncontrolled emotions, a love that lives off the soul of the people, it's a drug that kills, not a remedy. 

Philip had found himself in that dilemma, wondering if his feelings for Kai would save him or destroy him. As he risked his life for a man he actually barely knew he couldn't help but ask himself, is all of this worth it? The metallic taste in his mouth, the tears and the bite marks. His panting chest and the pain from his broken ribs. 

Yes, even if he had been tempted to ask that question he could answer immediately. No matter who asked him, no matter the way they phrased the question Philip would probably always answer the same way. Would you risk your life for him? Yes. It was that simple and at the same time so confusing to him because it did not make any sense. How was it possible to fall in love like that and what could happen next? Love was a first for him and this kind of love, the one laced with pretty danger was definitely a shock but still, he wouldn't take it back, he wouldn't ask for anything else and that on its own seemed peculiar. 

Could it be because of his eyes? Philip would wonder. Those endless sees of light blue and vibrant green, a mix of the world. Maybe his smile? An expression that could stun even the stricter people, a way of relaxing his anxious heart. His lips? Those perfect pinkish arches that gave the sweetest kisses. Or maybe his elegant body, this figure that Philip could only relate to him. Could it be something so superficial as his appearance? Could that be enough? Definitely not, it was something else. Something stronger, scarier but still he couldn't describe it. 

"You are not focused, boy." His Alpha growled and Philip smirked, launching forward and grabbing Mikain by his waist. The taller man elbowed him in the back, strongly, breaking a few of his bones and Philip landed on the floor face first. He was bruised, bones broken and wounds bleeding. He believed he would die. There was no questioning it. 

"Life is a bitch." Philip groaned as he shakily stood on his feet. 

"This is taking too long and I am busy, let's speed things up." 

To his displease Philip knew exactly what that meant. They were going to turn. Mikain was already starting to get into his wolf farm, bones cracking, the shape of his body changing until he was no longer human like, he had gray thick fur, golden eyes. A true beast,a gigantic wolf with his jaws wide open, his threatening teeth ready to attack and rip Philip's flesh. 

The younger werewolf, a lot weaker, was forced to change too, becoming his beastly self, raven colored fur and silver eyes he breathed heavily, his body uncomfortable. Two beasts cramped in a hotel room, the moment Mikain jumped towards him chaos spread. Furniture falling, stuff breaking but no one seemed to care. 

The Alpha landed close to Philip, trying to bite him, put him down but Philip managed to escape, running towards another side. He wasn't going to last long in this game of tag, he was already tired. He bared his jaws threateningly, but the gray wolf was not phased. He jumped on him again, this time managing to push him down. His jaws closed and opened loudly, his nuzzle approaching Philip's neck,  hidden behind the thick fur. He howled, not knowing why he was asking for help and he felt pitiful. He resisted for as long as he could, biting his opponent a few times, but he was really out of his league against Mikain. All he could do was stall his own death, wait until everything was over. 

The beast whined, too tired to fight any longer and the silver eyes watered, seeing the moving fangs intending to end his life. It was such a shame, Philip thought, not because he was going to die but because he wouldn't have helped at all. Kai would only feel pain and that was the worst part. He closed his eyes, ready to give in to a painful death when a loud banging noise interrupted Mikain's attack. Light suddenly invaded the room from the corridor and the Alpha, surprised, stepped back. Philip's head turned, his vision blurry as he lost consciousness. He wanted to see who had stopped his death but he didn't make it.. Darkness swallowed him whole.
