Rendall and Helia stood by the tarred road and watched as cars drove by. They were fascinated by what they saw. Large metals with wheels and windows that had people in them drove fast passed them. Some were bigger. Some were smaller. Some were black. Some were red. They came in different colors, shapes, and sizes.One of the colored metals with wheels stopped before them and they watched in awe as its front door window winded down. A man's head came into view. He was a red-head with a freckled face."Where are you love birds heading to?" He asked. Rendall and Helia exchanged glances. They were both confused. "No," Rendall began. He was unsure of what to tell the man. "We aren't birds. I'm a wolf and she's a lioness."Rendall's words amused the man and Helia elbowed Rendall and crooked an eyebrow at him. She turned to the man and flashed a smile at him. "We are not lovebirds. We just want to get to Wilkinson PLC. Do you know where it is?""Of course I do," the red-headed driver replie

"W—well, W— wulfe is the name of a country club in Canada. The country club is owned by Rent dall's father and its members are filthy rich because the membership of Wulfe costs more than a hundred thousand dollars. Rendall spent all his life in the country club community and red diamonds are nothing to them so Rendall wore his ring freely," Brient said, laughing it off, and then he turned to Rendall. "Wulfe is completely different from this place. At Wulfe, red diamond is valuable but it is far more valuable here since it is rarely seen around. Since your father owned Wulfe and was rich enough, you were heavily guarded at Wulfe and could thus, wear your ring or whatever you wanted to wear whenever you liked. This place is not as safe as Wulfe. People here might seem weaker but they are more cunning and dangerous." Brient turned to Selene and feigned a smile. "Rendall is a little bit spoiled. He thinks he can behave as freely as he usually does at Wulfe. Selene nodded and smiled at bo

"Rendall." Rendall jolted back to reality, away from the trance he was held in as he heard a familiar voice call his name. He looked away from Helia's face to the elevator door. The elevator had stopped moving, it door was opened and he saw Danica and Brienne standing side by side. "Rendall," Danica called out in a brittle voice. She reached out to his arm and dragged him out of the elevator, pulling him close to herself. "I missed you." "He was only gone for a few minutes," Helia muttered loud enough for all four of them to hear, rolling her eyes. "Excuse me!" Danica eyed her. "What did you say?" "Let's leave fast so we won't miss taking the subway." Brient decided to intervene as he saw how tense the atmosphere was becoming. "We can take a cab." Danica shot Brient a glare and then she moved her glare to Helia. "I would love to know what her problem is." "You can take a cab. You're going a separate way after all. Rendall, Helia, and I would take the subway since Rendall and H

"We were just talking about a book series. In the book, the werewolves and werelions are always at war and we just want the war to end," Danica said and Mr. Wilkinson stared at her without saying a word. Danica tried to figure out what was going on in his mind but he kept a straight face. "What's the name of the book? I'd love to read it." He finally commented after having a deep thought. Danica stared blankly at Mr. Wilkinson who looked down at her and expected her to say something. "The name of the book is---" she paused and placed her palm on her forehead like she was trying to remember something. "Dang it! How could I have forgotten the name of this book?" "Helia," Danica turned to Helia, feigning a smile. "Please, remind me of the name of the book." "I was not the one discussing with you." Helia glowered at her. She looked away and continued fiddling with the keyboard of her system. "I thought you had read the book," Danica said in a calm voice. Helia rolled her eyes and t

"Hello.""She isn't at home.""No, we can't find her here either.""Okay. So""Okay.""I will hang up now.""Bye.""What did he say?" Rendall asked eagerly as Selene ended the call. "Did Brient find her at home?"Selene shook her head sadly and Rendall kicked the empty trash can next to him."What do we do now?""I informed the security officers and a few colleagues that she had gone missing. They are looking for her too. If she's still missing after twenty-four hours, we would contact the police."Selene watched him as he paced up and down the hall."You need to take it easy," Selene pointed out. He was stressing himself out. She was amused at how he was stressed out because of Helia. They quarreled almost all the time.Rendall sighed in frustration, stopped pacing, and sat next to her."Is she stupid?" Rendall asked rhetorically. He sounded frustrated. "How could she have gone somewhere without telling anybody where she was going to?""She was with you and Danica. Wasn't she?" Selen
