The Moon & The Morningstar: 7 Deadly Sins

CH 63: Believe in Me

WAYO'S POV

Pha, Ming and I decided to let everyone eat and chill out for a bit before we hit them with the heavy stuff. So, after about an hour of everyone hanging out and goofing off, I decide to get started. Catching Ming's eye, I give him a nod as I stand from my spot on the couch and pull Pha to his feet beside me. We step out to where we can see everyone, then I begin.

"I'm glad you could all be here tonight. An important matter has come up and we figured it would be easier if we discussed it as a group." Looking around, I gather everyone's eyes to make sure they're paying attention, then add, "Please don't interrupt until I lay out all the basics. Then you can ask questions."

"At this point it will come as no shock to anyone in this room that I'm the Prince. I know all of you now know. Of course, Ming, the pack, and Forth have known all along..."

Beam's gasp of surprise forces me to pause, however I talk over the noise of him smacking Forth's arm and his heated comments to him. "... Kit found out along the way and I know Pha and Beam found out this weekend."

Giving Pha's hand a squeeze, I signal him it's his turn. Meeting my eyes, he gives me a nod before looking at the other's in the room. He meets the eyes of his confused friends then gets a thumbs up sign from Ming before his gaze darts over the pack.

"I also have something to tell everyone." Pausing he takes a deep breath and pushes it out. Eyeing the pack a little nervously, he begins again, "While this comes as no surprise to my old friends, it might shock some of my new ones. My full name is Phana Kongthanin and my father is..."

"Kongthanin!" Montry roars jumping to his feet. The rest of the pack doing the same. The flames are already burning in their eyes and I can already feel the air beginning to heat up a round them.

Stepping in front of Pha, I face down the guys, while Beam, Forth and Kit scramble out of the way. Ming steps up beside us and I'm thankful for his show of support. I just hope we won't need it.

'Guys! Please calm down and listen.' I tell them through our link trying to stay calm while I focus their attention on me and hopefully away from Pha.

'Yo, get away from him! He's dangerous. Come here. Now.' Montry demands as they start to move forward as a group.

Steeling myself for their disapproval, I reply with a simple, 'No.'

Red looks almost murderous as he yells at me, 'Yo, Kongthanins are traitors to the crown! The whole family is Pride Faction!'

'I know his family is Pride Faction. I've known for weeks. But Pha is not his family.'

'Youknew and didn't tell us?!' Jay asks, his voice sounding like a strangledmixture of anger and disbelief at my words. 

Zee speaks up, 'What if he'd found out before this weekend. He could have told his family and you would have been in danger. If Pride Faction finds out you're here...'

'They already know.' I inform them and shock at my words shows on all their faces. However, I continue to plead, 'Pha had his chance to turn me over to his family and he didn't. He loves me and chose me over them. Please just listen to what we have to say before you judge him.'

There's suddenly silence as they huddle up and consider my words. However, I don't let my guard down. If they decide not to listen and try to attack, I will defend Pha. I hate to even consider the consequences of those actions, but...

Firm warm arms wrap around me from behind, distracting me from my thoughts. I tilt me head to acknowledge him, but never take my eyes off the pack. "It was pretty quiet and tense for a few minutes."
