Chapter 146: Secret Little Meetings Pt. 5

It was weird. That was all Kai could think about. At first glance he had believed that the man before him was boring. A strict nobody that would easily get on his nerves. Yes, to him, at first Philip was nothing more than a pest.  So why did he not feel bothered at all by the fact that he was pinned down by him. He felt his raven hair tickle his cheeks, his pony tail gone and black veils surrounded his handsome face. Kai's heart fluttered and for a second he was scared. Was he having a heart attack? That couldn't be it, he was a vampire. 

His eyelids fluttered, frozen on the spot by Philip's daring move and he looked into the hazel eyes like an innocent deer, his eyes wide and almost looking scared. His reaction, combined with the personality that he was to project which was the exact opposite was definitely precious. 

Philip laughed, getting back and resuming his original seat, his eyes still observing the stunned vampire as he slowly sat up. 

"Quite shocked aren't we?" he asked him and Kai was brought back to earth, squeezing his blue eyes. 

"I am perfectly fine." he answered, moving his head to the side. 

He was shocked, incredibly so because he was definitely not expecting Philip to react that way. He was supposed to be the one that made people blush and feel all flustered, he wasn't about to lose his title as a heart stealer to a werewolf at that. The beautiful prince stood up, stretching his long arms and looked at the lake, his eyes a color similar to that of the peaceful water. He walked closer, carefully stepping in between the fragile lilies as he stood at the shore of the lake, crouching and letting his fingertips touch the cold surface. 

"So it's your birthday…" Kai mumbled. 

"Yes. I am turning twenty." Philip answered standing behind him. 

"Isn't that like a very important date for werewolves? Should you be here with me?" the prince asked, his back turned on the raven haired man. He heard his footsteps and soon once again Philip was sitting close to him, untying the laces of his boots and bringing his feet into the cold water.  The werewolf shivered for a second, not expecting how cold it was but after a while he got used to it.

"It is, werewolves are supposed to get fragments of their past lives the day they turn twenty, also they get to find out who their mate is. It's like, the most important day of our lives." Philip explained and Kai nodded.

"So what did you remember?" 

"Nothing. The memories come at the time of birth usually, some of them might come like a dream or a hunch that you've met some people before but that's it. I was born during the evening so I am waiting, I guess." 

"Does your Alpha know you're here?"

"Are you interrogating me?" Philip asked back, a smirk on his face as he turned his head to look at Kai. The vampire wasn't looking back at him though. His eyes were stuck at the bottom of the lake, he was staring at something but at the same time nothing, the prince was actually thinking, lost in thought. "Kai?" the werewolf said, for the first time calling out his name and the vampire shivered. His gaze traveled, meeting him in a very silent but at the same time comfortable moment. 

The prince had never felt like he wanted to freeze time before. No moment seemed actually significant enough to deserve and be carved forever in his memory. Everything was fleeting, day after day things happened but no incidents left such a strong impression to actually mean something. The prince blinked, trying to realize what made the moment special. Could it be the scenery? The beautiful lake and the blue dreamy light? The leaves surrounding them and the faint scent of the flowers? It was certainly an idyllic place. Could it be Philip? The handsome werewolf that for some reason seemed so intriguing? His features, the shade of his skin, the color of his eyes were all so new to him but so pleasant. But it wasn't any of those things that made him feel that the moment was special. It was him, it was because of him that he wished that time would stop. Because of Kai's feelings that were slowly starting to blossom in the soil of his heart. 

Kai was feeling like that for the first time. Like the person in front of him was someone he couldn't take his eyes off but how could he express that? How could he tell someone that was born to be his natural enemy that he wanted him? He would get rejected and his pride, the pride he had tried so hard to keep after everything that happened he would shutter. It wasn't because Philip annoyed him that Kai wanted to sabotage him, it was simply because he was attracted to him and like a child he figured out that by teasing him he would get his attention. The young prince was really childish sometimes, thinking something so plain and so wrong at the same time. Kai shook his head, disappointed with himself. Even for him there were boundaries. Werewolves and vampires were not supposed to be attracted to each other, they were not even supposed to be friends. They were natural enemies and that was supposed to stay the way it always was. 

"What is a little werewolf?" The prince asked him, finally responding to his call.

"Are you okay?" Philip continued with another question and the prince scoffed, pushing back his disheveled hair.

"Of course I am. What kind of question is that?" 

"I don't know, you just seem…skeptic." 

"And why do you think I would tell you if I was?" Kai told him, an eyebrow raised and the werewolf shrugged his shoulders.

"I don't know. I guess I was concerned about you." he said and not even him could believe he said that.

"You shouldn't be. Actually…" Kai said and stood up. "You shouldn't be here either. Not with me." he said and Philip looked at him with a frown.

"Why?"

"Because vampires and werewolves are not friends. They simply coexist." Kai answered him with a strict expression. For some unknown reason he suddenly felt depressed. He didn't like the words he was uttering, the fact that he was being mean to Philip again but there was nothing he could do. He had to stop this, before it was too late.

"Are you really going to tell me such old-fashioned words? I thought you were better than this." Philip answered him and stood up too, brushing off some invisible dust from his pants. "I don't know what has gotten into you but I do not believe that vampires and werewolves are meant to be enemies. At least not all of us. I do not like labels." he told him and Kai shook his head,

"One person does not make a difference." the prince said bitterly. 

"To me it does. If that person was you it would make even more of a difference. I do want to be your friend Kai." Philip confessed and the prince wrinkled his nose.

"I don't"

"You do" 

"No I do not" The vampire prince answered, hitting his foot on the soil, stubbornly and Philip laughed. 

"I will make you want it." The werewolf said and Kai rolled his eyes, not believing he would actually keep this whole thing going.

"Try and face failure then. Let's go. I need to go back, no one knows I am gone and for once I actually don't want to get in trouble."

"Well, I am sure you could have avoided it a few times." The warrior murmured but the prince heard him, loud and clear and his eyes widened ready to start swearing at him. 

Unfortunately for him though he couldn't even utter everything that came to his mind because he was interrupted. All the creative and insulting remarks were completely erased from his brain once Lun appeared in front of him, his eyes showing how anxious he was.

He surprised both of them as he rushed towards Kai and grabbed his arm. 

"Your mother, she's outside your room. Let's go." he told him between gritted teeth and Kai looked at Philip one last time before his best friend flashed him away. The werewolf smiled, waving his hand. He wouldn't give up, this whole be my friend thing, Kai realized. 

It would be annoying, especially when the prince definitely did not want to be his friend. 

He wanted him in his bed.
