Chapter 47 - 46

Philip got up the stairs and looked around, focusing on trying to figure out where Kai was. The rest of his friends and John ran into the different rooms of the house searching for him when Reina called them from the bedroom. All of them ran inside seeing that the room was still trashed front the last time the wolves had turned there. Something though was different. The window in Kai's room had been shattered and blood was splattered at the glass shards. Philip looked outside, seeing Soran carry Kai away and jumped off. He didn't hear what his friends told him, he needed to get to him. 

Maybe this time they would manage to escape but as long as Mikain knew he was somewhere in the city he would always have to be scared and in hiding. 

"Wait!" Philip called out and the white haired vampire stopped. He turned around while holding Kai in his back, ready to attack him. "I.. I won't do anything. I want to help, I swear. I have a plan"

"Get away from him." Soran told him, his usually calm eyes filled with anger. "You betrayed him."

"No I didn't. John was simply scared as he got captured and talked about how Kai would save him to scare our Alpha. He wasn't planning on betraying you nor did I. Kai I would never hurt you." he told the prince and the exhausted vampire looked at him. 

"Soran, let me down." Kai said and Philip smiled, relieved that the vampire believed him. "Let's follow his plan."

"Kai! How can we trust him? We can escape." the white haired vampire said. 

"I trust him, that's enough." Kai said. "Now let me down." he repeated and the man let go of him unwillingly. Kai stumbled here and there, feeling dizzy and tired until he almost fell on the road. Soran extended his arm, wanting to prevent the nasty collision but Philip was already there, letting him fall into his embrace. 

"Are you alright?" Philip asked him. 

"I'm trying." He answered with a faint smile on his face. Philip's heart fluttered. He was in his arms, his body was so fragile he believed if he did anything wrong he would break. The vampire looked up at him, his eyes so clear under the lamp light and for a second they were the only people there. Just him and Kai, touching each other.

"What's your plan?" Soran asked him, bringing him back to the dangerous world. 

"Lun will soon get defeated by Hans. He won't kill him, don't worry, he is more reasonable than our Alpha, he doesn't enjoy killing. It is good that his men are occupying Mikain, the Alpha, now we know for sure he will only follow. He lost his wife soon, he adored her but she took her life. The reason was she couldn't stand anymore the thing Mikain was doing and the fact that her husband was a part of it. I will try to get him…" Philip tried to explain but he heard footsteps. His keen hearing gave them a few seconds as a head start. "Soran…hide." he said.

"How will I know if…"

"It's fine Soran." Kai told him with a reassuring smile and the vampire sighed, shaking his head in disapproval. Nonetheless, he did as he was told and in the blink of an eye he had disappeared, hiding somewhere in between the dark buildings, waiting for this whole thing to be over. 

"Now follow my lead okay?" Philip said and sat down, holding him still in his embrace.

Reina's plan was spot on. She had calculated their every move and what they would think. As he saw Hans, the tall blond man with the dark blue eyes approach them, he thanked the wolf goddess that such a smart woman was on their side and not with Mikain. If she was, Kai would have died tonight. 

"Philip. What are you doing?" Hans asked him. Philip was sitting on the ground. Shielding Kai with his body. 

"I...I can't let him go to Mikain. Please Hans." he said. His voice was filled with pain and Kai couldn't believe what he was hearing. Obviously it was all an act but still, hearing his voice, the pain in it he couldn't stop but remember this is the man that he loved. 

"What are you talking about?" The Beta asked him. 

"I, he is with me. I can't let you harm him." 

"Are you insane? He is a vampire!" The Beta shouted. 

"I can't let him die!" Philip screamed, anguish in his voice as he tried to save Kai. "Do you want me to through it too? The pain you felt when Mikaela died? Don't you remember why your wife killed herself?" Philip told him.

Hans took a step back shocked, his blue eyes wide as he stared at Philip.

"How could you compare my mate with a vampire?" He asked him.

"It's the same!" Philip exclaimed. "Love is always the same. The feelings, the pain I am feeling. It hurts Hans, I am begging you. Please." he said and tears gathered in his eyes. Kai gasped, he couldn't believe it that he was pretending so well. So much as to end up crying. 

"Love?" Hans asked.

"Yes. Love. I love him." 

"That is insane. You will be twenty soon. You can't love a vampire." 

"I can. Please Hans, you know the pain. You know how it feels to lose the one you love. You were always more reasonable. I won't be able to bear it. So I am begging you, just this time, I will owe you anything, I will give you everything I own so please. Please help me hide him. Take Mikain away." Philip begged. 

Hans stood still, watching how Philip held Kai close, the prince hiding his face in his chest, listening to his heartbeat fast. He was anxious, he didn't know if the plan would succeed. Hans sighed, rubbing aggressively his face. 

"Run, take him away now. I will tell Mikain that he left town and send people to investigate on the other side." 

"Hans, thank y…"

"Don't thank me, just go.. Go!" he said.
