Monster. Monster. Monster. Philip could say that word so easily but when Kai heard it his scarred heart trembled. Was it fear? Was it anger? He didn't know but as he heard Philip mouth it he wished to escape. It was because he considered himself a monster. Every day he looked at himself, what he had done a cruel reminder of who he was, and saw a monster. Through every mirror, through every glass window, any place that could show his disgusting reflection showed clearly the rot that had gathered in his soul.

Philip though called him and himself a monster with a smile, as if it was something good, funny or sexy. Kai couldn't bear it, the word he used to describe himself, the word that showed his pure self hatred was now used as a pick up line? He couldn't understand it. He didn't know how he could escape this, how he could escape him. It hurt, with every breath he took, with every step he made the fact that Philip was here, close to him was unbearable because it was the main and only sign of how atrocious he was, how horrible he will always be.

"You think being a monster is a good thing?" Kai asked him as he stood up, forcing him to release him from his little confinement between his body and the back of the chair. Philip took a step back, fixing his stance and looked at Kai with a questioning expression. "Being atrocious, a murderer, being me is a good thing?"

"You have connected yourself with being a monster?" Philip asked him, surprised as he realized why the vampire prince seemed to be so bothered by his words. "Kai that's…."

"I am begging you." The blond man told him, staring right into his eyes. They were glazed by tears. He was going to cry, Philip knew it but he found himself unable to do anything about it. He froze. The tears of this prince as they rolled down his pale face looked like diamonds, hit by the bright light of the room. His blue eyes, they way his bottom lip trembled a bit. Every little movement had Philip rooted to the ground, unable to even breathe. "I am begging you. Please stay away from me. I can't. I can't do this anymore." he said.

"What do you mean?" The wolf asked him. What had he done that was so horrible? Why was the prince crying right now in front of him? He had told himself he wanted to see the icy mask break, see his expressions, who he truly was but he wasn't talking about this. Seeing him cry spread an aching burn on his chest. He frowned, ignorant to why he felt that way.

"I...I can't be around you. That's it. I don't want to." he said and turned around, wanting once more to run away from him. Philip though did not let him. He grabbed his wrist. It felt so cold, touching his burning skin and the wolf, surprised with himself, looked at his hand, his fingers that were gently touching him, some kind of attempt to keep him here. Get some kind of explanation.

"You were looking for me. Back at the hotel you were looking for me. I haven't been able to stop thinking about it."

"You're crazy. I told you many times that's not it. Do you have such a big idea about yourself?" Kai asked him as he pulled his hand away from his grip. He wiped his tears aggressively with the edge of his sleeve.

"Then why do you act like that? You are so weird. You look at me with those eyes of yours as if you're hiding the secrets of the world and…"

"What did you just say?" Kai asked him. "About my eyes. What did you say?"

"Your eyes, it's like they hide the secrets of the world." Philip told him again, his voice clear as it reached Kai's ears.

The prince had heard that before. He had heard those exact words. It had been such a long time. It was impossible. Philip should not be able to think or act like his previous self. He wasn't even twenty yet so why? Why could he talk to him the same way his lover did?

"I want you away from me. As far as possible. All I want to do is help John, nothing else. I don't want to have anything to do with your corrupting, vampire killing clan or with you."

"My clan is not…"

"We are ready!" Lun's voice was heard, interrupting their fight and soon the ones who had retrieved to the room returned. All of them except John. "Are you guys alright?" he asked.

Kai nodded eagerly, as if he wanted to state that everything was fine so no one would ask him again. He looked around, searching with his eyes for John.

"Where is John?"

"He is already chained. Since it's his first time he won't be able to last long" Mika explained and Lun smiled.

"That sounded kinky."

"Oh, shut up." Mika said and looked at his friend. "Are you ready? We need to do it too." he said and Philip nodded, his mood ruined. They had been interrupted. He believed that if he was able to push him, just a bit more, then he would be able to get something out of him. EVen the slightest detail counted.

The two wolves headed towards Kai's room.

"It is better for you to stay outside. If you hear anything weird, simply run away." Mika advised them and disappeared into the corridor.

Lun and Kai sat on the couch, silent watching how the moon was slowly rising. The sky turned dark and the light entered his apartment from the windows. It was beautiful actually but to vampires it was a bad omen. It was always like this, the most beautiful things were the most dangerous ones, Kai thought.

Once the moon had fully risen into the sky the two vampires heard howling. They were loud, traveling through the walls, reaching them only making them shiver in fear. Instincts were hard to suppress.

"That was loud." Lun commented, trying to make the mood just a bit better. Kai nodded, his eyes warily landing at the opened door. More noises kept reaching them. The pulling of chains, things breaking and growls. He couldn't imagine what could be happening in there, did wolves turn hostile towards each other too during the full moon? Was John okay? What about Phlip? He wondered and his heart started to beat loudly.

The sounds wouldn't stop, every time getting louder and more violent. Kai's heart was racing, his expression showing how anxious he was as he subconsciously stood up. Philip, was he alright?

"What are you doing you big idiot?" Lun asked him.

"I...I will just check for a second if they are alright. Those sounds, they have been going on for hours" He explained and Lun sighed.

"Don't be stupid Kai, they told us to stay here."

"They are chained. It's fine Lun, don't worry." The prince reassured him and headed towards his bedroom. With every step he took he could see clearly how scared he felt. No matter how hard he was trying to fight he was terrified. What was more scary though was anything happening to Philip again, right here, in front of him. He couldn't let it happen. Not again.

The vampire stopped in front of his door, taking a deep breath as his fingertips landed gently at the cold door. He heard another loud noise, like a bang and startled, he jumped but he didn't ran away. The sun would rise soon, everything would be over but he just needed to make sure they were alright. If Philip was alright.

He pushed the door slowly, exposing himself to three enormous wolves. One of them was grey, the other brown and the last one. The one he immediately recognized as Philip was black, dressed in the colors of the night. Kai's eyes widened. It took him a few seconds to realize but when he did he took a step back, terrified.

Philip, he somehow had been set free.

He needed to run, get away from there and he looked at Mika. The grey wolf howled as if he was warning him. He couldn't move. He was frozen in his place as his eyes met with Luke's. That silver again, they stared right into him as he showed him his fangs, a growl escaping his lips.

Run, run, run. He thought but nothing happened. He felt his back touch the wall and his eyes widened. It took only just a few seconds. That was the time he had before everything went completely wrong.

The enormous wolf, right in front of him took a step back and with a leap he jumped towards him.

Attacking Kai.
