Chapter 196: 195

Kai entered the throne room, waiting to see his mother sitting on her distant throne, looking at him judgmentally. As he got inside the room though he noticed that her golden seat was empty and she was nowhere to be found. 

A soldier had come, telling him that someone had requested him at the throne room. Kai had immediately thought it was his mother so he didn't ask, he just left the soldier and hurried there, wanting for this meeting to be over as soon as possible. His blue eyes though could not find his mother so he stood there, right at the entrance with the double doors closed behind him gazing and wondering who called him. Xan wouldn't send a soldier and Nelia, well she was probably avoiding him after the incident at the corridor. 

"Who the hell…" he mumbled, scratching the back of his head as he regretted not asking the soldier who it was. He heard footsteps and he frowned, someone had been here after all, Kai just didn't hear them. He took a few steps deeper into the room and approached the throne, tilting his head and noticing a man that stared right into him. 

Kai's eyes widened, turning round from surprise as he realized who the man with the gentle smile was. 

Tall, with a strong body and blue eyes. Golden hair that reached his shoulders in loose curls and a small beard, six or seven days old. Once their eyes met, the strong vampire, a head taller than him, took a step closer, parting his pink lips and greeting him. Kai was so stunned though he didn't say anything and the man laughed. 

"Boy, you're seeing your father, not a ghost. Say something."

The man right there was indeed his father. Aleron Avger, the king of BloodBound. Strong and feared by everyone he found a home in the battlefield, always being away from home and to the border or in some other secret operation for the sake of the crown. Kai barely remembered his name before, he rarely saw him and even before he had left BloodBound it had been months since he had seen him. Now that he was looking at him though he could see it, the similarity his mother talked about. 

Him and the king were almost identical. Aleron was the older and more musculine version of him, reminding him also of his older brother. The king smiled, taking a step closer and his cold palm touched his shoulder. 

"Kai?" He called his name as he noticed that his son had somehow found himself frozen, staring like some kind of weirdo.

"Father? What are you doing here?" Kai asked. For some reason Kai hadn't thought of his father.  He didn't even think about seeing him because he was always away. He wasn't bitter about it or anything, he didn't mind his traveling. It was just seeing him here, talking to him was too much of a rare sight to not comment on it. The ling laughed, the expression of his son seeming too funny to him. 

"What am I doing in my house?" he asked with a faint smile, "I don't know, just wanted to see my family I guess and when I heard you had returned I had to see you, my son." he told him and looked at him with a pair of sad eyes. He walked forward, grabbing him and hugging him tightly, making kai gasp. "Kai, how have you been?" he asked him, looking him in the eyes. 

His father was not like his mother, at least not to his children. He had always been kinder to them and when he was here there was a balance that almost reminded them of an actual family. The problem was though that he was barely here, letting the lunatic  they called a mother take over and mess everything up, mostly her children. 

"I have been well, nothing much." he told him, rubbing the back of his head. What could he say? I have been waiting to die? I hate my life and I am drowned in eternal misery? That wouldn't be so much of a starter for a meeting after two centuries. 

"I was worried about you, everyone was." Aleron told him and Kai couldn't hold himself. He snorted, his usual judgemental expression appearing on his face. He didn't really believe his father. 

"That is very debatable" he commented and his father shook his head. 

"Not for me, I promise you." he told him. " The truth is your mother doesn't know I am here…yet. I need to talk to you about something and so when Xan told me that you were here I hurried back from my mission."

"Talk to me? About what?" Kai asked, a frown on his face. 

"About your Blood Oath and how to break it." he told him and Kai's jaw dropped, his heart racing.

"You knew?" the prince asked. 

…..

John needed help. He had been sitting in that library for hours now, looking at the notes he copied but in his head nothing made sense. A king, a Duke, a Marchioness, what were all these titles anyway? These vampires needed to move on to today and not make everyone's life difficult. There wasn't even electricity in this place! He always forgot to light up his candle before the night fell and then darkness would simply spread in his room. Thankfully, he could see in the dark, orelse he would have bumped on every freaking furniture to just find a candle.

But back to his current problem. John was never good with memorization, he hated actually and that was the reason he did so poorly at school. At the moment, as he walked in the long corridors he was having flashbacks from his highschool days and the teachers yelling in his face, not only that but since that time of his life had been blurred out by his addiction he also felt vulnerable and a tiny bit bad. He tried to always leave those moments behind but sometimes it was simply impossible. 

That was why he had decided to ask for help. His first thought had obviously been Soran, he was dying to get some time with him but the truth was he was scared. He didn't want to look like an idiot to him and get scolded. There was this little problem with the minor insults at the moment that made everything difficult, feeling even more stupid wouldn't help his progress. 

The worst thing was that Ash had finished memorizing the names and everything after half an hour and he was ready to go. John couldn't relate to the fact that he could only remember Moonshine and that was because he knew them, they were the ones that ruined his life. 

So in this state he had found himself his only way out was indeed Lun. He stood outside his room, knocking violently on his door until he opened. After about ten knocks the big vampire appeared, an annoyed expression on his face, his hair messy. He had been sleeping, John realized. 

"What is it, little wolf? Why are you knocking on my door like there is a fire?"

"I need help." John said with a bright smile, trying to appeal to him. 

"With what?" 

"Memorizing the names for the event." he explained and Lun scoffed.

"Hell no, I hate school, go somewhere else." he told him and before John could say anything the door had been slammed in his face, leaving him with an agap mouth and a raised hand. He closed his brown eyes, a small whine escaping his lips as he turned away, ready to leave. 

"That didn't seem to go well." he heard Soran's voice and stopped. 

The white haired vampire was standing behind him, holding a green book in his hand as he looked at the defeated werewolf. 

"It did not." John agreed. 

"I can help you if you want." Soran said. Of course he would help him. Soran was nice to everyone. He would hug him, comfort him and then throw poisonous words at him. John was nothing special and that annoyed him. At least when Soran was mad, he didn't treat him like everyone else. The werewolf sighed, looking at the vampire with an unreadable expression, it was a mix of annoyance and bitterness, not something you would see John expressing every day. 

"No, thank you." 

"Why? I can be a good teacher" Soran said, a soft smile on his face, not really seeing the signs of John's annoyance. 

"I don't doubt that. I am sure about it, I just don't want to." he repeated and Soran frowned. 

"Did I do something?"

"No"

"Because I do feel like I did something."

"You did not. You did completely nothing." John said with an ironic tone. 

"John, don't fucking play with me." Soran said, his face turning strict as he met his eyes.. He had angered him, the werewolf realized.
