Devil pov
Anger is an understatement right now and I don't think anyone can tell. Their all so calm when someone could be literally during!! I could tell I was anger. Was I in control? Not entirely, but enough that no one else would get hurt.

"Your highness. This isn't a matter you need to worry yourself about. He had it coming."

"No he didn't. If you have a problem with how people live, your definition of human might be a little screwed."

"Your highness!"

"What? You just killed someone over a petty thing of being different. News flash, everyone's different." I said turning around and picking up Eclipse. I had one of his arms over my shoulders and held it with my left hand. I put my right arm behind him and lifted him up. I heard growling behind me but ignored it. No one had the guts to attack me. Everyone knows better. I carried Eclipse out of the shop and took him to the closest medical centre.

"Your highness!? What happened to him!?"

"Imma be real, your the first person to speak about him with anything but rudeness. He was attacked in a nearby Cafe while we were having a drink and talking."

"To answer the first thing you said, he's my son. Of course I would be worried. Second, let me take a look at him. He most likely already started healing himself or at the very most, stopped the bleeding before passing out completely."

"Completely? I thought it was almost instant unconsciousness."

"Reasonable guess, but the soft smile on his face said other wise and that he heard something."

"Oh... he must have heard me telling off the people in the cafe then. That's the only thing I can think about."

"Your highness. Never in my life have I met someone who treated him with as much kindness as you do. I thank you dearly."

"It's a pleasure but why does everyone hate him so much? He's so nice!"

"I know. And I wish I knew." She said and got to work. She first took off his cloak and hung it up. Next she slightly unbuttoned his shirt and checked for wounds. She checked over his entire body but the only wound was on his head. Thankfully he's going to live.
"He might have a small concussion, so I hope you don't mi d me asking for you to take care of him for me."

"I would be happy to, but may I ask why?"

"Well, I have to leave town for a few months and I need to make sure he fully heals but I can't take him with me as he'd probably get hurt again."

"Ah, I see. Well I would be more than happy to look after him ma'am."

"Thank you." She said and I nodded with a smile on my face. I looked over to Eclipse to see he was gone.
"Eclipse. Get out from under the bed."

*Purr~*

"I don't care if your scared. Your leaving your friend out here all alone." She said and almost right after, I saw a small wolf pup peek it's head out from under the bed. I waved and he came out fully. He had bandages wrapped around his head and I could immediately tell it was Eclipse by his eyes. Though they were a steal grey this time, he didn't look scared of me.

*Rarrr~*

"Umm... what did he say?"

"Why not try petting his head. Softly of course but he loves it." She replied and I knelt down and started to softly pet Eclipse's head. He purred softly and I swear my heart skipped a beat. 'Wait, skipped a beat? Do I like... nah not possible.'
"He hasn't been so calm around strangers in so long it's kinda sad."

"How long has it been?"

"Let's see, he's 26 so I guess ever since he's been 3."

"Th-that long!?"

"Unfortunately so. Anyways, Eclipse sweety, I need to go out of town for a little bit, His Highness has accepted to look after you okay? I want you to stay out of trouble, for it? Oh and watch for your sister as well please." She said and Eclipse turned his attention completely to her. He nodded and quickly ran behind her. Soon the male from earlier was standing behind her and was trying to find something.

"Mom, where did cheesy go?"

"Cheesy? Oh isn't that your little bunny you keep around?"

"Ya. Do you know where it is?"

"I think it might be in your room. Why would it be in your pockets sweet pie."

"I had him with me today because I was having a bad day. I don't see him tho..." Eclipse seemed to be starting to slightly break down as his mother got a bit worried.

"Oh my. Where did you see it last?"

"Alesia, there's someone here for you. Hurry up." Someone said coming into the room and soon growling at Eclipse before leaving.
"Stupid brat. Wasting everyone's time on trivial matters. Why not do the world a favour a die." Was what I caught as he left. He may have mumbled it but by the look on Eclipse's face and how his ears laid flat on his head, he heard all of it. I feel bad for the kid. 'Wait, he's 26!? He's 3 years older than me!?' I thought as I looked towards the two family members.

"Devil, do you think you could help, please?" He asked turning around to face me. I gave him a smile and nodded. He smiled lightly back but anyone could tell that the life had been taken from him again. I quickly ran out for a sec and went all the way back to the cafe. Everything was as it was and I managed to slip in and out without being noticed. I had found the bunny and noticed it fell from his pocket when I saw him on the ground. I quickly returned and saw Eclipse was missing again. Alesia was on the ground looking under the bed in the room.

"Hey, this what your looking for?" I asked and held up the bunny I grabbed from the cafe. Eclipse peeked his head out from under the bed and his eyes shined with glee. He quickly got up and hugged both me and the bunny.

"Thank you!"

"Your welcome. What are friends for if they can't help each other, right?" I said and he let go looking at me.

"Friends? You really think of me as a friend?"

"Yup. I don't see why anyone would want to harm an adorable little puppy~" I said and he blushed slightly.

"Thanks... I've never had a friend before. Well, if you don't count Cheesy." He said and his eyes were back to their pretty shade of soft blue. Kinda like the shade of baby blue. I felt mesmerized by the soft cool but warm colour of his eyes. Alesia seemed so shocked at us that she just smiled warmly with warm motherly eyes full of love. I smiled at her genuinely and she seemed even more happy.
