Chapter Sixty - Five : Let The Games Begin

Caroline was discussing some important stuffs with the school's basketball captain when her girls approached her.

On a normal day, she would've ignored them until she was done but the moment she recognized that look on their faces, she had to halt their discussion at once.

"Tell me, you have something worth my attention " Caroline spat, obviously displeased they interrupted her.

Alexa looked at Linda with a mischievous look while Caroline frowned

"What's going on? "

"Guess who we just saw entering Asher's office? " Alexa teased.

Caroline's gaze reached a frosty level, she didn't need to guess much, it was quite obvious.

"How's the plan going? " Linda asked this time.

Caroline smiled wickedly " She took the bait and hopefully, she appears on Friday "

"But isn't this risky? " Alexa peered cautiously, looking around in search of anyone who might be eavesdropping " I mean, we know what we're dealing with here. What if things go wrong? "

Arms wrapped across her chest , Caroline turned to face her "You worry too much Alexa. Just chill, I've got things under control "

Alexa breathed nervously "I hope so "

Caroline didn't bother to reply the worrywart, nothing was going to change her mind. She doesn't care whether the girl's a supernatural or not, she would crush her. Nobody takes Asher away from her.

Asher belongs to her.

The door snapped open with a bang

"You didn't tell me Renard's family is in town? " He walked into the room breathlessly, glaring daggers at the other figure resting his legs on the desk.

Chris stood up from shock "What are you talking about? Renard has a family? "

Shane drew back his hood while exposing the logo of a small humanoid carrying a quiver of arrow printed boldly on the chest area of his robe.

He narrowed his eyes suspiciously " You didn't know? "

Chris shook his head " I'm just as shocked as you are .How did you find out? " He asked plonking down on his seat.

"I did an investigation of my own, the new residents were just damn mysterious " Shane replied taking out a bottle of beer from the mini fridge and glugged down the whole contents in one gulp.

"How many kids? "

"Three kids : a girl and two boys, the girl being the eldest "

Chris rubbed his chin thoughtfully " Why do you think he hid them from us? "

Shane tossed back his head "What do you think? He probably didn't want his kids in the Hunter's league, not that we gave him a choice anyway "

"You think? "

"what else? "

Chris took a deep , long breath, Renard was a very quiet yet secretive human being but never a narrow minded person. He must have had a bigger reason he didn't want his family affiliated with the hunters. He just needed time to figure this out, he would get to the bottom of it all.

"I need to summon the head " Amala said to the guards who wouldn't let her inside the inner chamber

"You don't summon the head, the head summons you " One of the guards retorted.

"But I come bearing important news " She insisted

"Narrate your message, we'll help relay it " the other guard assured her

"There's being reports of the burning Eaglet "

"That's impossible "The first guard rebuked "They were exterminated during the Purge "

Amala's gaze hardened " Apparently some survived they've rebound "

"Do you have evidence to prove that? " The second guard inquired

Amala nodded then began to narrate her story.

"Hmm, we'll convey your message " The first guard agreed , making gestures with his eyes to the other guard.

"Thanks for hearing me out then " she bowed and left

"How could he do this to you? " Emily gasped, letting her magic curl around her ladyship's neck trying to heal her. There was a red strangle mark around her neck.

"It's seems I pushed him too hard " Her ladyship said examining her neck on the mirror attached to the dresser

Emily sighed "Should we teach him a lesson? "

"No" She said in a flash " The guy is a madman, I don't know what he will do this time if we push his button "

Suddenly she smiled " But that makes me like him more " She stared at Emily's reflection in the mirror

"I heard his father supported us during the Purge "

" Yes, your ladyship but that cost him his life and almost his clan but his son, treasures his clan much more than he had "

"Oh " She realized " Then we must get him to our side by all means then " she then turned to face Emily

"How long before the vessel is perfect for transfer? "

"As soon as her powers are stable "

Her ladyship lit up " I can't wait to meet her "
