Chapter 266 - 265

It was easy for hate to creep into people's hearts and for feelings that had existed for hundreds of years in them it was difficult to just disappear. Kai knew that but still he felt insulted as he heard the cries of confrontation and so many werewolves being against helping. There was truly hate in them and at that moment he realized that Philip had a much harder job than it appeared to be. He would have to erase Mikain's traces on this pack and get rid of his legacy. 

The young prince looked around, counting the angry heads that stood up, exclaiming their issues with this little deal their Alpha had made. His chest tightening, hearing all the shouts, worried about how Philip would react. He wouldn't blame him, no matter what he did or said. A situation like this, he hated it but he hated more was seeing his lover in such a tough spot. 

"Why should we put ourselves in danger to help vampires?" A young man said, getting up from his wooden chair, he was a teenager, Kai thought and after he examined his face his eyes widened. It was him, the boy that had turned John and tortured them. His long blond hair had been replaced by a buzz cut while his chestnut eyes had remained the same, hateful and disturbing. Kai's head snapped, he looked at John who had turned into a completely different person. 

He had his hands in fists, his whole body tense as he stared at the teen obviously disturbed by him. 

"That fucker." He heard him mumble but Soran placed his hand on his shoulder, getting in his field of vision to calm him down. The prince exhaled, relieved that they had easily avoided a very bad confrontation. He would have to keep his eyes on John for a while from now on, to make sure that nothing would happen. 

Philip had been bombarded with questions, the last one being Brandon's and he hadn't answered any of them. Was he overwhelmed? Kai wondered as he imagined Philip drowning in a sea of murmurs and displeasure. He bit his bottom lip, tapping his left foot as he waited. 

The Alpha looked straight ahead, his eyes cold as he met with Brandon. It was obvious he didn't like him, he knew what he had done, not only to John but to his prince too. He smirked, looking as if he had emerged from a romance novel and took a step forward with confidence. 

"Why? Because I said so. Isn't that enough for you or is it that you don't acknowledge me as your Alpha, Brandon?" he asked him, the boy tensing as all eyes landed on him. "If anyone has a problem with my decisions you can come up and tell me but also tell me why no one wanted to say anything when our previous Alpha was mass murdering people and sexually abusing pack members? Have you all forgotten about that or do you want me to remind you? It's funny, hilarious even that you don't say anything when those things happen but now you are all sooo upset because I want to take a measure for the pack. You have all been deluded haven't you? All this time. So let me make it clear for you, after what we did if the Avger family wanted to end us they could have done it and we wouldn't know we were dead. So how about all of you little idiots shut up and pay the price for the shit you have done?" he asked, his voice loud, confident and intimidating as it reached even the far back of the room clearly. 

Kai smiled, trying to hide his expression but at the same time he wanted to admire it. He was sure that his eyes were sparkling at the moment, looking at his lover like a lovestruck fool. 

"Okay Brandon?" Philip asked him with a cold smile and the teen sat down, not uttering another useless word. The Alpha scoffed, shaking his head. "Anyone else have an objection?" he asked the crowd but now everyone was silent. You could even hear a fly in the air. "Good, if you do have an objection, keep it to yourselves or I will kill you. Now you can eat." he told them, trays with warm food leaving the kitchen as he walked to the table Kai was. He sat down next to him, a heavy sigh coming from his lips as he looked at his lover. To say he was ecstatic would be an understatement. Kai was flying right now, glowing with happiness. He wouldn't have blamed him if he tried to cover things up, if he wanted to appease his pack but he hadn't done that. 

Kai looked at him, seeing everything he had loved in him appear in front of him. He shouldn't have been worried, he felt stupid to do so because Philip was strong and right now he could clearly see it, he was a leader, he was actually made for this. 

"How was it?" Philip asked him but the prince did not answer. Without thinking about it much Kai grabbed him from the collar of his t-shirt, bringing him closer and kissing him in a cute way. Feeling his lips on him, his heart raced even faster, he couldn't stop thinking about him, wanting to see him and after what he said and did somehow he felt like he loved him even more, shamelessly in front of everyone. 

"I will take that as a positive." Philip said, a chuckle escaping his lips as he looked at Kai, his face blushed. 

"Really I will throw up." Xan commented with a disgusted expression and Mika nodded his head.

"The only time I am actually agreeing with this jerk." the red haired werewolf said. "You have a room you know."

"Shut up please and thank you in advance." Kai told him, smiling brightly and Reina started laughing. 

"Shut up." she repeated, looking him straight in the eyes. "Or the big scary Alpha will kill you." he told him, mimicking Philip's expression during his speech and the man rolled his eyes, grabbing his glass and pouring some water.

"Let's just eat. Tomorrow we have a lot to do.." he told them, looking at the food that had been served on their table.
