The Tears of a Prince - Chapter 264
Hans had been very negative with the idea of the vampires coming into the pack considering their history with them. He didn’t want anything to ruin Philip’s reputation but the truth was that he couldn’t just hide his relationship with Kai forever. They were mates and that was the embodiment of fate, denying it wouldn’t change a thing.
So he had stepped back , letting the Alpha do as he wished. He didn’t think much of seeing Philip upset, he wasn’t that scared of him but he didn’t want to make him step down. He understood how much the werewolf loved his mate, this was how it was supposed to be, standing in between them would only make things worse.
So the only thing he could do was make sure there wouldn’t be in the pack’s faces all the time. Kai would live with Philip, he hadn’t been allowed to suggest otherwise but the rest of Kai’s friends had been moved to a spacious cabin right at the end of the pack. The further away the better, Hans had told them as he showed them the room that had many small beds aligned next to each other and a tiny bathroom. Lun had almost fainted at the sight of their accommodations as it looked like he was suddenly in the human army but he didn’t complain, seeing that everyone was silent about it. Olivia though had been let to sleep in Reina’s room, seeing she was the only girl in their company.
“The room is really crappy, I am sure there will be rats too.” Lun told Kai. They had arrived a few hours ago and they were heading towards the main hall for dinner. The tall vampire had spotted his best friend and pulled him to the side to gossip. Kai rolled his eyes.
“There are no rats in the forest.”
“Forest rats.” Lun added, making him chuckle.
“You will be fine, Xan is there too.”
“Xan is refusing to leave the room if he is not offered a private bedroom. I think having to sleep in the same room with John and Ash has shocked him too much.” Lun said, shrugging his shoulders and the younger prince burst out laughing. He could imagine it, his older brother, standing in the corner of the room, a judgemental expression on his face as he wished everyone around him was dead.
“Well, the day after tomorrow we will be leaving so let him whine.” Kai said and they started walking again towards the main hall. They were surrounded by werewolves, knowing they were being stared at but well, Kai and lun were not the kind of people to mind something like that. The tall vampire walked cooly, his hands in the pockets of his blue jeans while the handsome prince smiled at those who were staring a bit too aggressively making them look elsewhere.
“I feel like a celebrity.” Lun joked and Kai chuckled.
“I hope they won’t take it too bad.”
“I hope they do. I hope their pillows are always warm and that they sleep and have nightmares. Are you forgetting these are the little bitches that went after our people?” Lun asked Kai the moment they passed the wooden door of the crowded building. Kai didn’t answer, he was searching for Philip in the crowd but when he found him he realized he was preparing to make a speech so he didn’t approach him. He found Ash, John, Olivia and Soran, sitting with Philip’s friends at a table on their own at the very front. So much for staying low, he thought before he realized he hadn’t answered to Lun.
“We need to move on. Those things happened because of Mikain and now he is dead. Things will be better.” Kai said as he walked towards their friends.
“I am pretty sure some of them believe the same as him” Lun added.
“Then let them. They are the ones who will get killed in the end. I won’t tolerate anyone messing with this mission” Kai said, his expression turning serious.
“Badass.” Lun teased him, the prince clicking his tongue as they sat down. They greeted everyone when they heard Philip’s voice. He was going to make his announcement now, Kai realized.
“Everyone, your attention please.” He told them, the room suddenly going silent, all eyes focused on him. “As you all may know we signed the treaties but still returned earlier than expected. That is because it seems that there are problems with another werewolf pack. They are scheming to ruin the peace between our species and we, as a pack offered to help the vampires to stop this. That is why we have the two Avger princes of BloodBound as our guests with their company. They will cooperate with us in order to catch the culprits and put an end to this madness. Every single one of you should treat them with respect and like our treasured guests. Am I clear?” Philip asked, looking at the crowd, his face expressionless as he talked.
At first no one said anything. People were looking at each other, their eyes wide because of the news but after a few seconds passed, right before Philip stepped away a hand appeared raised in the far back of the room. “Yes?” Philip asked.
“Why do we have to work with them?” One of the pack members asked. “They are our natural enemies!” he exclaimed and suddenly an uproar began.
