Chapter 23 - Aspiring Friendship


Multi-millionaire and wife agree to a surrogate?!

Multi-millionaire's wife is baron?!

Grand Alpha's heir is revealed!

The Cardarelli Family has a new member!?

"The Cardarelli Family has a new member? Say what." Alferno sits up straighter. "The wealthiest family in the world is mentioned when you typed in his name?!"

He jerks a harsh finger at Blade as Ayden nods slowly. Blade's eyes catch one headline in particular and for a moment his heart stops in fear.

Cardarelli Family revealed to be Ultimas!

"Apparently that's what it came up." Ayden shrugs his shoulders. "Where are my manners, I'm Ayden Dallas. The werewolf over there is Alferno Hall."

Blade's ears perk up. Alferno Hall? So this is where he's been the whole time? What a mere coincidence.

"Nice to meet you." Blade says.

"You too. Omega." Alferno smirks.

'OMEGA?! Excuse me! We are an Alpha!' Terzo flares.

'I know, Terzo. Just let it go. We don't want to fight; remember what we promised Mom and Dad?' Blade responds.

'You're still calling them that. Even though, you know they're not technically your parents.' Terzo mumbles.

'Even if they aren't. They'll always be my parents. They practically raised me my whole life, Terzo. Plus, my biological dad didn't seem to thrilled to find out and my biological mom...I have no idea where she is. Or who.' his human half replies in a timid tone.







(TEN MINITES LATER)

"Come on. Let's get you some fresh clothes." Ayden's voice brings Blade back to harsh reality.

The Alpha werewolf nods in response and slowly follows behind Ayden. Several minutes later Blade treks back into the room sporting a dark gray hoodie over his white t-shirt. He has the hood up over his head, grateful that the hood has ears should his own ears pop out.

"You're missing something." Alferno comments and tosses a pair of dark red tinted glasses to Ayden.

Ayden hands them to Blade, smiling as the Alpha puts them on, hiding his golden eyes a bit.

"Now you're good. This way if students run into you, you blend in better." Alferno tells him.

"Let's go Blade. It's time to meet our headmaster. He may or may not like you so we can only hope." Ayden grins as he grabs hold of Blade's left hand, dashing out of the room with him.

Alferno shakes his head and smiles as he trails behind the two.

The trio walk down the hallway, passing random students. Some whispering sentences of their own while others could only gape. A werewolf with one human is a normal sight but a werewolf with a non-student human; is anything but normal.

"Hey Alferno! What's with the non-student human? Surely you know the rules. This school is for students with abilities only! Humans with no powers have forbidden entry." a hybrid calls out.

She glides over to the trio, hovering mid flight in the air.

"I know that, Zara. I don't need a repeat." Alferno mutters.

Blade shifts his head to look at the two before he suddenly gasps. His hand flies to his chest and a familiar liquid covers his hand in a heartbeat.

"Blade, are you okay?" Ayden asks him then raises an eyebrow. "No offense dude, but you look like your going to pass out."

"Omega?" Alferno whispers.

The Alpha werewolf inhales sharply then closes his eyes for a second. "Calling me an Omega? As if! I'll have you know, I'm anything but an Omega." he says with a smirk.

Blade opens his eyes and three looks of horror meet him dead on. "What's the matter? Afraid of an Alpha?" Terzo yips.

"A...Alpha?" Alferno gulps as he turns harshly to Ayden. "Why didn't you tell me he's an Alpha!"

"How was I supposed to know! It never said!" Ayden retorts.

He turns to stare at Terzo only to be met with burning hot pain racing through his body. Ayden collapses to the ground in a heap as Alferno wraps his arms around Ayden's downed body.

His violet eyes darken to a dark violet. "What have you done?" his wolf demands.

"It's his fault. He looked us in the eyes!" Terzo fires back.

"How the hell is it Ayden's fault?! He was just looking at you...wait a minute." Alferno snaps then quits talking once he figures out something.

"You're an Ultima." he mumbles. "Right?"

"No." Blade snaps. "That's just a myth!"





(HARPER)

The Phoenix falls onto the ground as her sky blue eyes dart around her body. She quickly notices humans and other supernaturals stroll the streets.

"Where am I?" she asks herself. "This sure as hell isn't Bunny Hill."

"It's not. You, my friend, are on Academy grounds. Seerix Academy to be correct." a strange voice replies in a cheerful tone.

A raven haired girl jumps down from a tree as she balances on one leg while standing in front of Harper.

"My name's Journee! It's such an honor to meet yous!" she cheers then whispers. "Whats yours names?"

"It's Harper. Harper Wisp." Harper responds.

Journee beams. "Pretty names! I loves its!" she shouts.

The raven haired girl raises her hand and makes a portal appear as a raven haired guy steps out. His arms are crossed and a grim expression is on his face.

"Remus! Remus! His!" Journee cries and dashes to engulf Remus in a tight hug.

"Journee. Calm down. This is not the time for games." Remus snaps. "Start learning to be more serious."

He eyes Harper. "Who are you? I don't recall seeing a girl like you here." he frowns.

"Harper." the Phoenix replies. "Nice to meet you."

"As Journee stated, I'm Remus." Remus states then flicks his hand to make a portal appear.

His foot pushes Journee into it as the portal closes a second later. Harper raises an eyebrow at him.

"You'll thank me later when you realize just how annoying Journee can be." the portal waver says.

"Ah, okay." Harper mumbles.

Remus leads the Phoenix down a corridor of Seerix Academy and enters a fairly large room. Her blue eyes catch sight of two werewolves and a downed human.

"You practically killed him!" a werewolf shrieks. "I should kill you."

"Go ahead and try, Alferno." the other werewolf fires back.

Harper recognizes that voice anywhere. Her crush.

"Alferno. Mind telling me what the hell happened?" Remus demands with a raised eyebrow.

"That guy, killed Ayden." Alferno barks as he points to Harper's crush.

Remus nods and waves a werewolf over. The werewolf hands him a cup.

"For the murder of Ayden Dallas, your punishment is to drink the poison. Do you comply willingly?" Remus says aloud.

Blade flicks his eyes red for a second. "No. Never." he growls loudly.

"One more time; do you comply willingly?" Remus states in a colder tone.

"Just do it, Blade." Harper whispers.

His red eyes turn gold as they meet Harper's. "Your eyes aren't green..." he mutters.

"This isn't real. You're controlled by a potion!" Blade shouts. "This can't be real."

The Phoenix strolls over to him and places a hand on his cheek. "It is real, my wolf." she whispers softly.

'Yeah! Keep your hand there, Harper! That helps Mate believe!' Saige squawks.

"This isn't. We're supposed to be at the lodge. Not some academy." her newfound mate mutters quietly.

She removes her hand and presses her lips to his cheek. "Maybe we'll wake up back there and get through this together." she says with a small smile.
