“Wow. Isn’t this lovely? Sadic asked as we sat back in
respective chairs, dressed in the softest and most expensive robe
ever while we simultaneously got a pedicure and manicure from about a dozen female attendants.
“Yeah. It is.” I answered, letting my gaze wander over the
establishment.
This was Radiant Heaven. A five star spa resort that I often saw ads about on TV. Now, I was in it. I was here slowly living a dream, while blessed with an amazing view of an infinity pool and the city skyline below it.
“I never thought it’d be a place like this, Sadie.” I huffed.
“Hmmm, and you wanted to turn it down.”
“I was foolish. Thank you for dragging me here, your Highness.”
Sadie laughed. “You’re welcome.”
Afterwards, we went through a series of body massages that had me moaning out loud as the compression entered into my aching joints. Then we had facial care, hair care amongst many other things.
As the day went by, I became more determined to work hard and have my own money so I could afford luxuries like these. Aside from the Elite force being one of the most respected positions in the kingdom, it’s also one of the highest paying jobs.
It’s why many people wanted in on the Force.
After our spa session, I changed into my clothes and placed my jacket on my arm, ready but reluctant to leave. Then halfway to the door, we were informed that we had a complimentary gift on the house so we went back in to get it.
Turns out we were given a bag containing the robes we wore, along with perfume and other expensive things. I couldn’t believe my eyes.
Thanking them, we left and entered a nearby Italian restaurant and it was after we were seated, enjoying our respective meals that I decided it was time to ask some questions.
“Sadie?” I called and she gave her attention. “Can I ask you something?”
She gave a slight shrug. “Go on.”
So I brought out the picture I saw earlier today and showed it to her. “Do you remember this day?” I asked, carefully watching her face.
Sadie stared at the picture for a long moment before slowly shaking her head. “I-I have no idea when this was taken.” She said, and squinted at the photo again. “Why was I crying?”
I released a breath. There was a possibility that Sadie did not know me and thus others may not as well.
“I’ll have to ask my parents.” Sadie said eventually.
“Wait.” I said, thinking of the best way to approach the matter. “This is a very delicate matter Sadie. I need to be discreet about this.”
Sadie watched me. “Okay I’m listening.”
So I told her about the search involving my parents and how they were in group photos with rich elites and yet, I didn’t know them to be rich. “I am also in that picture and I want to know why. I want to know why all the kids were like that. Can I

trust you?”
Sadie reached out and touched my hand. She looked into my eyes, her face the epitome of sincerity. “You can trust me, Ryn. There are also things that I have seen that are baffling to me and I’d like to find out the truth too.”
My brows furrowed. “Things like what?”
Sadie gave me a sad smile. “When the time comes, I’ll tell you. In the meantime, I can still ask my parents about the photo. I’ll simply tell them I found it on the internet.”
“You think they won’t get suspicious?”
Sadie shook her head so I relaxed a bit. It was kind of nice to have someone on this journey with me but at the same time I feared being betrayed.
Yet, I had no choice. I just have to risk trusting her.
“In the meantime,” I adjusted in my seat. “What can you tell me about these families?”
Sadie stared at the picture as she slurped her cappuccino. “Here’s what I know. The Blackwells, the Cresshalls, the Duttons, and The Windermeres are high Elite families. The Blackwells are the richest but these families have been of old. Dating back to the days of the Lycans. I also know that it’s the tradition of these families to only marry purebreds
“Purebreds?”
“Yes I mean people with Lycan blood in them! My mom is one and she’s a Windermere so….there goes that. That’s why their circle is tight. I don’t know much about your parents. I haven’t really heard of them other than the fact that your Dad is a great scientist. Other than that, the name Ashmore does not ring a bell.”
I thought about her words for a moment. It was almost like my parents were silent members of this circle. Yet, why?
“Any other information you know about them?”
Sadie made a thinking face. “Nothing vital. My parents go to their parties and I never go with them. I also used to go to school with their kids
“What about this family?” I pointed to the ones standing close to my parents, whose child looks like Konan.
“Oh those are the Caines.” Sadie mentioned and that’s when my brows lifted. “When you say Caines you mean like Howard Caine?”
Sadie nodded. “Yes.” Then she peered into the picture. “Although, I don’t see Howard here maybe because he’s…”
Sadie pursed her lips as if she was saying too much.
“He’s what?”
Sadie looked hesitant.
“Come on. You can tell me.” I pressed.
“I was going to say a bastard but I was looking for a better way to put it.”
“What do you mean?”
“I mean Howard is a half-breed. His father had an affair with a normal werewolf lady. Rumor has it that Howard’s mom dumped him on his father’s doorstep when he was just four years old and disappeared.”
“That would mean that at the time this picture was taken,..” I stated.

Chapter 60
“Howard hadn’t yet been abandoned.” Sadie said somberly.
My heart started to beat rapidly. “And his step-brother? You know his name?”
Sadie peered again and frowned. “I think his name is Cain or something. Definitely starts with a K.”
“Konan?”
“Yes. That’s it.” Sadie answered and a pit opened up in my stomach. So Konan was Howard’s brother. No wonder he hated me so much.
“Is everything okay?” Sadie asked.
“Yea. Totally.” I lied, sitting back in my chair, suddenly losing my appetite. If Konan hates me for what I did to Howard, then I am not safe in teh Academy.
My greatest rival just became my greatest enemy.
