"Why are you two so quiet?" Hans asked them while all of them had gathered in his little house. He had started to pack his stuff, preparing the place for Philip to settle in since he was the Alpha now.
Mika and Philip just stared at each other, no words left to be said and the tall man sighed, feeling like he had to deal with children. He sat on his chair, watching them for a few seconds trying to understand if they were going to fight any moment now but they remained silent, waiting for Hans to tell them why he called.
"I guess it's okay as long as you two don't fight." He mumbled as he searched for a paper in the last remaining pile on his desk. He took out a small envelope. It was black, sealed with bright red wax before but Hans had opened it breaking the beautiful crest in two.
He took out the small paper carefully, the design mimicking the one of the envelope. The letters were scarlet, an eloquent calligraphy that Philip couldn't read from far away while Hans flipped it and showed it to them.
"I can't read it from that far." The new Alpha said, not really caring about the letter. He had so many things on his mind right now, he felt as if he was going to go insane, a piece of hard paper was the least of his worries.
"Dear Moonshine pack, with breath joy we inform you that this month will be the hundredth anniversary of the treaty renewal. Please do us the favor of gracing us with your presence in the one week celebration of the peace between vampires and werewolves in BloodBound. The heads of the packs will be able to stay at the palace where they will talk about the new signing of the treaties for the new bonds to begin. We will await you two weeks from now, on the xx. Thank you and we hope this invite finds you well. Signed by the queen Cecilia Avger, herself." Hans said. "Do you get what this means?"
"We have to go." Philip stated he wasn't asking but Hans, unaware of what he had been thinking, took it as a half-hearted question.
"Of course we have to go. Especially after what Mikain did. It's two weeks from now. We need you to prepare, you will take lessons, you have to step up your whole leadership image. Our pack can't appear weak and divided." He said, emphasizing on the last word instantly realizing that there was something going on between the two friends.
Mika sighed, his dark eyes not facing anyone in particular as he spoke, his head dropped as he faced the floor.
"It's alright. Do not worry, we will not be a hindrance to the meeting."
"I hope so."
"How many packs will be there?" Philip asked. Not only the vampires, he was concerned about other packs too. They were probably his biggest worry, the possibility of them trying to conquer them and take their area and members was too big, he was young he would be viewed as incompetent.
"Three, maybe four without us. Are you worried?"
"How can I not be? They will try to rip me apart." Philip said, a very vivid expression of worry in his face.
"That's why both of you will need to prepare. We're going there for the pack, not for you to fight with vampires…" he said looking at Mika "...or go after your long lost love" he continued, his blue eyes stuck on Philip. "I hope you understand that."
"We do." Both of them said in unison. Hans wouldn't complain but it was definitely weird seeing them this way. They were quiet, sluggish almost and they wouldn't joke, not even smile. He was curious to find out what happened but as long as they seemed to be focused on what he was instructing them to do he was fine with it. This pack needed some silence after all.
"Where is Reina, will she be coming with you?" Hans asked.
"I don't think so." Philip said, hoping that the conversation would end there.
"Well make her. He is a valuable asset. She needs to be there with you. Don't be stupid." Hans scolded him and Philip sighed. The whole atmosphere was just strict words and sighing. It was depressing and gloomy.
"I don't think I can…"
"I will talk to her." Mika said, surprising everyone, even himself a little bit."I will try at least." He mumbled, running the back of his neck as he stood. "I am sure you have a few things to talk about. Please let me know if you want anything else." He told them, flipping the doorknob and stepping outside. He didn't want to be there, his guilt was slowly killing him, for many different reasons. That's why he thought that maybe he could fix just a few of the horrible things he did.
"What happened between you two?" Hans asked him, shooting him a strict look.
"A lot of things. I can't even begin to explain." Philip said, shaking his head. "Did you know about Mika's mate?" He asked.
"Yeah, it was quite sad. We keep files on the important pack members about their previous lives. You will have to write a report too soon."
"I see, everything feels so…"
"Planned? Like you didn't really know anything about your life all this time?" Hans asked, raising his eyebrow.
"Kind of yeah, it is just...complicated." he said, another sigh escaping his lips. He had lost count of the many times he had sighed today, again and again he felt as if he could not breathe, a huge weight on his chest.
Two weeks, again he would have to count the days, wait and wait to see him. If he could just appear there he would do it. But even if he did how would he talk to him? He had spoken so harshly, he had acted so immature. Kai had every right to be mad at him. After everything the vampire had been through, he still loved him, with all the flaws and the scars remaining in his body Kai had loved him again from the very first moment and he had pushed him away. Rejected him without even knowing anything.
"This meeting needs to go well Philip, we don't have the luxury of letting personal matters get in the way. I know you will probably think about your vampire and of course you should talk to him but make sure everything goes well. That queen, she will definitely try to do something if not her then the other packs." Hans warned him.
He knew, he had already thought about all that but the truth was Kai wouldn't leave his thoughts. From the moment he remembered everything the vampire prince was the only one of his worries. Even if he tried to think about the pack he couldn't and that made him feel guilty.
"I will do it. Don't worry."
"For everyone's sake, Philip, you need to be a proper Alpha. I chose you because I believed in you." Hans told him and the man scoffed, a grin appearing on his face.
"I thought you wanted to punish me for killing your friend." Philip said and Hans laughed.
"That too but well he had gone mad. Someone would have to do it inevitably. I am kind of glad it didn't have to be me."
"Then you can say I freed you from the burden."
"And the guilt." Hans said, making Philip chuckle. Feeling guilty about killing Mikain was the last thing he felt, that was why he didn't care about what Hans said. He stood up, stretching his arms and headed towards the door. He needed some time to organize his thoughts. A way to find the right path to follow. There was no reason to feel down about it, it would only push him back, he had to take this chance that was about to come. Fix everything, fix his relationship with Kai. Get his love back and this time make sure he wouldn't hurt him.
"I have to go, there are a few things I need to take care of before we leave." He said and stood at the door frame but Hans' voice stopped him, an advice escaping his lips.
"In these times, you need people around you, you will need support. Friends that you can trust."
"I know…" Philip said. "That's what I want to find." He told him before he left.
