Rhylor [The Ultima Manhunt B2]

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.
