If Kai said he felt comfortable he would be lying. All of them were cramped into his small room, looking at each other with disgusted expressions. Mika and Xan were the stars of the show shooting daggers with their eyes, warning everyone that if they were approached a battle would start. 

This meeting was necessary though. It was a perfect chance for them to find a way and get rid of Mikain. Then a lot of Kai's problems would be solved and that on its own was a very relieving thought. 

They were having small talk at first, talking about this and that, how the three wolves found themselves running away from their own pack and the younger prince looked at Philip with a worried expression. The werewolf felt his eyes on him, turning his head and meeting his small frown. He smiled faintly, taking his hand in his and giving it a small squeeze.

"It's alright." He whispered,barely being heard while everyone else was talking.

"I don't think it is. What right does this man have to do this to you? Turn your whole pack against you." He mumbled.

"He has all the rights, sadly. This is what being an Alpha is like. But soon everything will be over, we will be able to relax again." He said, trying to sound comforting and Kai nodded, not wanting to share more of his doubts. "How are you feeling though? Are you still hungry?" He asked.

"I'm good. I'm a pureblood so I can last a while without drinking blood. I will be fine." He said.

"I got scolded, you know. For letting you do that to me." Philip revealed. A cheeky smile was on his face, he didn't really care about what everyone else said, he wasn't regretting it, not one bit but he was curious to see how Kai would react. 

He frowned, a wrinkle forming between his furrowed eyebrows and then he bit his bottom lip, his eyes showing he was feeling guilty. 

"I'm sorry. I don't know what came into me. I should just…"

"It's alright." Philip reassured him, intending to stop him. He entwined their fingers, kissing the back of Kai's palm and making him blush as their eyes met. If he knew, if Philip had the slightest idea how every single one of his words affected the young prince he would feel like he could get the world. 

Just one look was enough and Kai would do whatever he was asked. Out of guilt, out of love and adoration. He was always like this when it came to him. The rest of the world did not really matter, all of them would have to succumb to his whims at some point but with Philip he was simply different, there was no other way to really explain it. 

"I don't want to create any problems for you. I want you to be happy." Kai expressed himself. 

"What are you talking about? I love problems. What is life without a little drama, huh?" He asked him, raising his eyebrow and the vampire chuckled. 

"Allow me to disagree with that." He said, knowing very well that he hated drama. That's what he had tried to avoid back home, finding himself buried in worse things in the end. He had failed.

"Come ooon. I know very well how hot I look during drama time" Philip teased him, coming closer and looking into his eyes. Kai chuckled again, placing his palm on his face and pushing him back. 

"No" he said, his expression turning cold and the werewolf clicked his tongue. 

"Snob."

"I am." He agreed and moved his nose upwards. 

…

"Can you move a little bit? We are right next to each other and I don't like people." Soran told John, looking at him with a strict expression.

The younger werewolf moved to the side, almost falling off the edge of the bed they were sitting on. The vampire grabbed his arm, stopping his fall and stared at him, confused. "Sorry I…" he mumbled and he shook his head eagerly.

"No, no it's fine. I get it. So many people, one talking over the other. It's chaos. I get it. I can get up if you want, you will be more comfortable that way." He proposed but Soran didn't let him.

"You don't have to be so nice, it's a burden sometimes." He told him, making the werewolf pout. He had been informed by Kai about everything. The truth was though he hadn't been ready for this yet. It would need a lot of mental preparation. He would have to get used to it and not pay Soran's words any mind but just this, which was probably only a fragment of what's about to come hurt, a lot. 

"Sorry, I didn't mean to…"

"What the heck is wrong with me today?" Soran whispered, looking confused with his own self as he stood up. "I will be going to sit over there for a bit." He told John, pointing to an empty space next to Lun. He watched him walk away, sit on a small stool they had borrowed looking into the void, absentminded. What could he be thinking about? John wondered as he got lost longingly staring at him. 

His long hair, the darkness of his eyes, all those small details he hadn't paid attention to before seemed to be more intense now, they looked even more beautiful, making him unique.

….

"Your face is so fucking punchable." Mika groaned at Xan and the crown prince laughed loudly. 

"You don't have to be so bitter that you're ugly." He attacked him and the werewolf gasped, giving him a nasty stare. "Why are you here anyways? Like I would need your help to get that idiotic man out of the way. I had a stick on my chest and did better than you"

"Well if you were so good you wouldn't be having a stick in your chest in the first place would you?" Mika talked back and Xan's cold blue eyes widened. He snorted, turning his head to the side, his eyes landing on Lun who was talking with Soran about something.

"That was because of some...complications."

"Yeah, that's what they call being useless nowadays." He commented and the crown prince was ready to get up and punch him.

He wasn't really fond of werewolves nor was he in a good mood. Seeing Lun be completely fine after their talk also served as extra agitation so he needed to blow off some steam. He didn't get his chance though to break Mika's face because suddenly that girl whose name he didn't remember stood up, clapping her hands and getting everyone's attention.

"Hello, hello." She said. "I am really happy that we have created this little book club of ours but I think we are here to talk about a lot more important matters." 

All of them looked at Reina, her smile wide and friendly as she started to explain the situation. 

"We have come to an agreement with the witch. She will be giving us a potion to get the Alpha weak. Tomorrow we will have it." Philip said.

"Yes, the problem is that you will have to make him drink it somehow." Lun told them and Mika nodded agreeing with him. They were runaways, it would be really hard to simply sneak in for a second and do it. They couldn't be sure either if Mikain would have drunk it. 

"Let's assume we get that idiot to drink….what then? Do we just stroll in?" Xan asked.

"About that." Reina said, raising her index finger. "The hotel has an emergency exit. It's in the back of the building, narrow staircases that lead to certain floors. One of them leads to Mikain's floor. If someone is on the inside, waiting and opens the door for you we will be able to get to his room" 

"What about the other werewolves?" Soran asked. "If we get caught it's over."

"Mikain's floor has barely any people. "Hans and a few others. Most of them will be asleep. We will be heading there during the night." Mika told them.

"And about who will be giving him the drink?" Kai asked, bringing up this topic.

"I will go." Philip announced and everyone looked at him. "He likes me. In his...own way. I will sneak into his room and make him drink it." He said.

"No." Kai said. "You won't be going there again."

"It's fine. I can do it." The werewolf answered. 

"I didn't think you couldn't do it. I just don't want you to do it." The prince said. His face was serious.

"Kai…" his brother called his name. "Stop being so fucking annoying, will you?"
