Crystal turned back and noticed her pout. She set down her glass of vodka.

“Not enjoying the show?”

Arya shook her head. “Mm.”

“Why?”

“I miss him.”

“Your father?” Crystal asked, taking a sip of her drink.

“No. It’s Daxiel.”

Crystal’s brows shot up in confusion. “Who is Daxiel?”

“The handsome man I told you about.”

Crystal choked on her drink. “What?!”

“You miss a man you’ve only known for a few hours?”

“Is it wrong?” Arya asked, looking up at her.

Crystal sighed. This girl was too innocent for the outside world.

Still, she shook her head. “No.”

She had always admired people who went after what they wanted, no matter how crazy it sounded.

Arya relaxed slightly. She thought she had done something wrong.

“Did he agree to be your boyfriend?” Crystal asked.

“He didn’t say anything,” Arya replied softly.

“Why? Did you do what I told you to do?”

“Yes.”

“And what was his reaction?” Crystal leaned in, curious.

“He held my head… and kissed me,” Arya said simply. “Then he pulled away and pushed me out of his car.”

“What?!” Crystal exclaimed. “What a jerk!”

Arya picked up her drink. “Now I won’t be able to go on A–Z dates.”

“What dates?”

“Have you forgotten? The one we watched on your phone.”

They had once watched a short video where a girl talked about going on A–Z dates. Arya had found it exciting and promised herself she would try it when she finally got outside.

Crystal paused, then remembered. “Oh… I didn’t think you were serious.”

“So why can’t you go anymore?”

“You said I needed a boyfriend—and that it should be a handsome one.”

Crystal felt slightly guilty. She had indeed said that.

“You’ll meet more handsome men,” she said.

Arya blinked, lost in thought, then sighed. “No one can be as handsome as he is.”

“There are better men out there. He’s just a rude idiot,” Crystal scoffed.

“I don’t think so,” Arya said, tracing circles on the table with her finger.

“Girls in love are hard to advise,” Crystal muttered, standing up.

“Where are you going?” Arya asked.

“I need to use the restroom. I’ll be back.”

Crystal walked away.

Arya’s eyes wandered around the room as she waited.

Some girls had moved closer to the stage, dancing with the performers. Others laughed, drank, and chatted loudly. Everything felt lively and chaotic.

“Hello.”

A gentle male voice startled her.

Arya turned and saw a man standing beside her, smiling warmly. He looked to be in his early twenties, dressed simply in a shirt and black trousers.

Crystal had warned her about strangers—but he looked decent.

She smiled back.

“Can I sit with you?” he asked politely.

Arya nodded.

“Thank you,” he said, taking a seat.

After ordering a drink, he asked, “Are you here alone?”

Arya shook her head. “No, I came with a friend.”

“Oh,” he said.

“This seems to be your first time here,” he added.

“Yes,” Arya replied. “How did you know?”

“Everything you do says so,” he said with a small smile.

“Really?” Arya wondered.

She reached for her drink—but without looking, she picked up Crystal’s instead.

She took a sip.

Her face twisted immediately. A deep frown formed, and her cheeks puffed slightly as she glared at the glass.

The taste was bitter.

The man chuckled at her reaction.

Arya looked at him. His laugh sounded pleasant.

But not as pleasant as Daxiel’s.

She slapped her forehead lightly.

Why couldn’t she get him out of her head?

“You don’t like it?” the man asked.

Arya shook her head. “Who would?”

“Didn’t you order it?”

“It belongs to my friend.”

“I see.”

Silence settled between them.

The man didn’t push the conversation, and Arya remained quiet.

She still found it hard to talk to strangers.

Suddenly, the music stopped.

An announcement followed.

“Sorry for the interruption. A lady has slipped in the restroom and is currently unconscious. If anyone knows her, please come over immediately.”

The music resumed.

The man turned to Arya. “Didn’t you say your friend went to the restroom?”

Arya blinked. “Did I?”

She couldn’t even remember saying it.

But panic quickly rose in her chest.

“Could it be Crystal?”

“Why don’t you go check?”

“I don’t know where the restroom is.”

“I’ll take you,” the man said, standing up.

Arya followed him.

Her heart raced. She hoped it wasn’t Crystal.

Because she didn’t know what she would do if it was.

The man noticed her fear. “Don’t worry. It might not be her.”

Arya nodded, trying to calm herself.

They walked out of the bar into a quieter passage.

As they moved further, the path led toward an underground parking area.

Arya slowed down.

Something didn’t feel right.

Who puts a restroom here?

She turned, about to speak.

“Is the restroom—”

Before she could finish—

The man struck her.

The last thing she saw… was his smile change.

And darkness swallowed her instantly.

    The servant went on to explain, "ARC Institute, which stands for Anomalous Research Consortium. They specialize in researching unexplained biological phenomena, and they firmly believe in the existence of supernatural beings."The servant emphasized the words supernatural beings before continuing."But that's only the surface. They research the existence of supernatural beings to study their genes and create superhumans.""Creation of superhumans?" Alpha Kayden questioned, raising a brow."I thought those only happened in movies. Who knew people actually wanted to create superhumans?" Luciano was equally stunned by ARC's ambition."Anything about their CEO?" Finn asked.He was the only one who remained calm, along with Daxiel, who wasn't even listening."Yes. Their CEO is well known for his insatiable hunger for power. He would do anything to keep his company afloat and prevent it from sinking," the servant said.The air fell silent, and the tension became palpable.The servant quietl

    The door to the interrogation room pushed open, and Luciano walked out. Finn had been standing outside the whole time.To Luciano's surprise, Daxiel was also standing with him. His head rested against the wall, his eyes closed.Luciano brought his palm forward, showing Finn that it was covered in blood.“He’s dead,” Finn said, not asking but stating.Luciano nodded. “Yes. He killed himself.”Finn’s expression remained unfaltering, and Luciano asked, “You don’t seem surprised?”Finn gave no reply.Luciano shook his head. He should have known. Everything that happened was always within Finn’s expectations. Things rarely went beyond what he anticipated.From being called over to investigate the human, to the human trying to tempt him, and finally, to the human killing himself—Finn had probably expected all of it.And that was the truth.Finn had known from the very beginning that the human was probably working for an organization.People like him were like soldiers. They either survived

    "So, how do I get out?" James asked, not wasting any time.Luciano looked up at him and said, "There are four exits out of the palace. Three are heavily guarded, while one is unguarded—the forest at the back of the main building."James listened attentively. When Luciano stopped speaking, he asked, "How do I get there?""Through me," Luciano said casually."Through you?" James questioned, trying to process the meaning behind Luciano's words.By the time he finally understood, it was too late.Luciano released his aura, sending James flying several feet backward. His back slammed against the wall, and he let out a painful groan."Ouch."He held his back, his teeth grinding together in pain."Enough joking around. Let's get to business, Boss James," Luciano said as he grabbed James and slammed him back into the chair."I'm sorry," Luciano apologized. "I didn't mean to hurt you, but you did it first."James tried to fight back. He tightened his grip on the knife and lunged it toward Luci

    “You have ten seconds to get to your feet,” Finn said coldly.Luciano remained unmoving.The first second passed. Then the second. Then the third.Just when worry was about to seep into Finn’s expression, Luciano suddenly jumped to his feet.“Didn't you see the warning that no one is allowed to shift during this period?” Finn questioned.“Uhm?” Luciano murmured, his eyelids lifting slightly. “No shifting during this period? Why?”But how could Finn explain?Instead, he simply turned and walked away.Luciano waved at a servant standing nearby.“Come here,” he called.The servant immediately greeted him. “Prince Luciano.”But Luciano cared little about the greeting and went straight to the point.“Why are we banned from shifting?”“You don't know?” the servant asked in surprise.Luciano shook his head.“Well, the thing is, a human made a video of a pup shifting and sent it to three unidentified sources, which are currently under investigation,” the servant explained.“What the hell?” Lu

    "Daxiel," Arya thought to herself. Why should she call him? She had nothing to tell him. She thought you only called people when you had something to say to them."What would I say to him?" Arya asked with a genuinely curious expression.Butler Neil suggested, "You could just ask about his well-being.""Oh," Arya muttered to herself.Then she passed the phone to Butler Neil.Not that she still felt like calling to ask about his well-being, but she knew that if she refused, Butler Neil would persist.Butler Neil took that as a go-ahead and dialed Daxiel's number, a wide smile appearing on his face.On the first ring, Daxiel didn't pick up the call. That was certainly deliberate.On the second ring, he finally answered, and Butler Neil quickly passed the phone to Arya.She took the phone and said, "Hello."There was silence on the other end of the phone.Then Daxiel finally spoke in a slightly annoyed voice. "What do you want?""I just wanted to ask how you are," Arya said in a very sma

    “I was only asking,” Crystal managed to say.Luciano paused in his fury and asked, “Aren’t you asking because you want to chase me out?”“I am not,” Crystal said.“Really? You won’t ask me to leave?” Luciano asked in disbelief, as if trying to confirm whether Crystal was lying or not.“Yes, you can stay as long as you want. It’s just one human. I can afford it,” Crystal said generously, as if she were talking about keeping a pet.In reality, Crystal never wanted him to leave. Over the past few days that Luciano had been with her, she had grown accustomed to his presence.For the first time in a very long while, she had met someone who cared about her without caring about her weakness. Or perhaps he didn't even give much thought to it.Luciano sat and looked at her. Seeing her arrogant expression, he finally believed her.“Good, then.”Crystal’s face brightened, but she was quick to mask it.“If you want to go out, don’t forget to lock the door.”“I have nowhere to go,” Luciano said, c

    Arya turned to Luciano. “Do you have a phone?”Daxiel didn’t respond. He was already thinking about the nearest ocean where he could drop her off.“I do,” Luciano said.Arya turned to him. “Can I borrow it?”“Here.” Luciano handed her the phone.Arya quickly dialed a number. Once the call connected

    A dim light faintly illuminated the room. It was decorated in a princess style, but instead of the usual pink, everything was gold. The air felt soft—yet gloomy, reflecting the mood of the girl sitting on the plush bed.A gentle knock sounded on the door, followed by a small voice.“Miss, it is tim
