Capítulo 32: Chapter 31
Lun's car smelled of leather and cinnamon, the smell of the spice reaching Mika's sensitive nose as he entered. He put his seatbelt on, his dark eyes focused on the road ahead as he heard the engine roar aggressively. Lun seemed to be a good driver, his hands skillfully touched the wheel and with ease he controlled the huge car into the busy roads.
"I didn't think you would be able to drive that well." Mika said and Lun snorted.
"Why is that?"
"I thought you didn't have cars in Bloodbound."
"Well, that's true, Vampires do have a set of skills that is comfortable for moving around. Teleporting that is. But doing it in the human world and ending up in front of the wrong people would be troublesome. We adapt."
"I can see that." he said and his eyes caught a glimpse of John. The young man sat at the back, sniffling as he tried to keep his tears in. The wolf frowned as he turned his head. "Can you stop crying?"
"Don't scare the little ex-human, he is shocked."
"I didn't scare him. I just asked him to stop crying. His tears are not going to save your vampire prince. They will simply annoy me more and more. I can't believe that someone like him could be…"
"Don't tell me to stop crying." John said. "That makes me want to cry even more."
Mika rolled his eyes, his hand finding its way to his pocket. He took out a small handkerchief, a red flower sewn on the corner, and gave it to him. The brunet took it, his eyes wary as he touched the soft fabric that smelled of levander.
"Don't worry. It's just that you have snot all over your face." Mika told him, pointing at his nose and John blushed, whipping his nose in a hurry. The red head grinned as he turned his head, telling him to keep it.
"So, let's talk about something more interesting than his snot." Lun said with a bright smile. "Tell me Mika, when did you have the time to tamper with the chains. You even managed to melt it."
"I don't know what you're talking about." Mika said, his eyes locked on the trees at the side of the road.
Lun sighed, his face expressionless before he sharply pushed the car at the side of the road. John fell to his side, not expecting the turn and Mika's head bumped on the window. The tall vampire exited the care, his footsteps heading towards Mika. The wolf stared in disbelief as he opened the door, ripping it from the car and throwing it away. He grabbed Mika by the collar, the seatbelt stopping him for just a mere second before he snapped that too and threw him at the side of the highway.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Mika screamed as he stood up. He grabbed Lun, mimicking the way he moved before and punched him in the face. Blood trailed a path from his nose to his chin and he smirked. He raised his leg, hitting mIka right on the ribs and making him gran before he grabbed his short hair and smacked his face to the hot concrete.
"What the hell is wrong with me? Do you think I am an idiot? I didn't do it, John of course wouldn't do it. Philip loves Kai even if he doesn't know it and the last one is you. So tell me before I kill you, how did you do it and why?" Lun shouted at him.
"Fine, fine! Just let me go. I won't do anything. I am not stupid. During the day, someone who is like a pureblood is definitely stronger than me." he said and Lun released him, wiping the blood from his face with the sleeve of his expensive shirt.
"Speak."
"I used a powder. One we have in the pack. You can't see it or smell it once it touches an object. A witch made it for us in case hunters capture us. It melts everything. I just rpinkled a bit on top of Philips' chain in secret while he wasn't looking, right before we turned." Mika explained.
"Why would you ever do something so idiotic? Do you know what will happen if the Avger family finds out what you tried to do? Aren't you scared?"
"I won't let Philip get hurt again. This monster back there killed him last time. We don't know what happened, we have no clues. But I won't sit here seeing that fucking vampire act like nothing has happened. I won't see Philip fall in love with him just to get hurt again." Mika stated, his eyes filled with fury as he spoke about Kai. Lun sighed, rubbing his temples as he heard the wolf talk. His words made no sense, everything was just pure stupidity and selfishness.
"What would you tell Philip once he remembered? That you actually pushed him to kill his mate? Is that what you call friendship? You're simply despicable and also lucky that I won't end you right here and now, but listen to this, if you ever try to touch Kai again, I will have you eat your own heart. Am I clear?"
"I am not scared of you, vampire." Mika scoffed but his eyes showed a different story. He was terrified. Lun and Kai were not your typical vampires, the ones they used to hunt every night. They were powerful, not only gifted by strength, daywalking and all those other abilities. They came from powerful families too and as much as Mika hated to admit it, the underworld was a family business.
"Oh, you should be." Lun told him with a grin before he walked towards the back seat. He opened the door and signaled John to get out. The young wolf looked at Mika with a disappointed expression.
"I thought you were a good guy." he said and Mika looked at him in shock.
"Wait, I…"
"Let's go. We are here." Lun said and John looked around confused.
"Here? We are on the highway. I think you're wrong." he stated when a new voice was heard.
"He is absolutely right." A woman's voice reached their ears but they couldn't spot her figure. Her speaking was melodic and calm as if she was singing a very ancient lullaby. Lun smiled, his eyes not searching for her.
"Akai my lovely, why don't you come out so we can talk?" he asked her.
For a while there was no answer, no beautiful words from the unknown woman named Akai. Soon though, a thick smoke started to surround them. John felt cold all of a sudden and he looked around, intimidated as he realized the scenery was changing. The car disappeared and the mist became so dense he could only see the person standing next to him.
"Ummm, Lun?" he called out scared.
"Calm down, little ex human" The vampire told him. Easier said than done, he thought and finally after a while the mist began to retrieve.
Indeed as he had initially thought they weren't at the highway any longer. They were inside a wooden house and in front of Lun stood a gorgeous woman.
"Well hello there." she said in the same tone as before. "Where is that beautiful little prince of yours. Aren't you inseparable?"
"About that...that beautiful prince is dying. We need your help." he said and tilted her head to the side.
"That does sound quite unfortunate but tell me why should I help you?" he asked him and John immediately felt worried.
They couldn't have come here for nothing, could they?
