"You saved me from becoming someone else's pet," it said as a shadow appeared beside her.
"Don't you want to come out a little bit?" she questioned.
"Don't do it, they'll detect darkness, and I don't want to cause you trouble," it replied, and she smiled.
"The boy," it said. "I think he might be one of the lost heirs."
"I know that, it's one of the reasons I need to keep him out of the hands of the elders," she responded as her phone rang and she grabbed it before answering it.
"Good day," she said.
"Are you available tonight?" someone asked, and she sighed.
"What exactly do you want?" she questioned.
"Just to hang out, like old times," said the person.
pαпᵈα-noνɐ1·сoМ "Well, I'll be busy tonight, so don't call," she said.
"You're so cold, come on, don't be like that," the person said.
"I don't have time to play games with you; I already told you no; do I have to say it again?" She asked, then hung up.
Is it the same boy?" it asked as she lowered her head and her hair fell before her face.
"You have turned down a lot of proposals, Adora; why don't you talk to him and give him a proper answer?" It questioned, and she smiled.
"I will do so; I don't want to hurt anyone," she said and continued watching the TV.
Later that day, after the sun went down, Adora locked the seal and went to freshen up before leaving to meet the others in front of the beast fighting arena for they had all agreed to go and see what it was like.
Adora changed into long white jeans, a white vest, a pink jacket along with a pink mask, and her hair was down flowing with the breeze.
"Adora, someone is here to pick you up; I will accompany Yan," Nina said as she entered the girl's room.
"Nice, who's here to pick me up?" Adora questioned as she took her phone from the bed and exited her room with Nina.
"I like the gift you gave him; you definitely went above and beyond," Nina said as she got into the car and drove away with Yan as a motorbike drove up to Adora and she smiled when she saw it was Alix.
"You can drive it after all," she clarified.
"I rode one of Sally's friend's bikes once, he came by often so I got a good hang of it, I don't see him often now though; back then I didn't have the money to buy one; now I do, but don't need to, thanks to you," he replied as she climbed onto the bike and wrapped her arms around him.
"Let's go," he said as he drove away, and she placed her head against his back, looking at the view of the city.
"I don't go out much, you know, despite having everything," she admitted as Alix looked at her in the mirror.
"I think I know that by now," he replied, as she smiled and hugged him tighter, causing him to feel flustered and he sighed.
'What exactly is this woman up to? 'I have no intention of getting too close,' Alix thought and a little while after, they arrived at a tall glass building where the others were waiting for them and Alix parked the bike before both of them got off.
"You guys made it, now all we have to do is show your IDs and they'll take you underground," Nina said as they entered the building and a guard approached them.
"IDs, please," he said, and they all showed him their IDs, except Adora.
"She doesn't need to show her ID because she's the princess," Nina said, and the guard smiled and bowed his head.
"We got a call that you might be coming, so follow me," he replied and they followed him, then entered an elevator with only two buttons, one red and one green.
When the guard pressed the green button, the elevator began to descend at full speed.
"Adora," Yan said quietly as he leaned in close to her and she looked at him.
"What's the problem?" she inquired.
"I need to speak with you about something personal later," he replied.
"All right, we'll talk when we get back to the castle," she said.
"Sounds good," he replied, and the elevator came to a halt, the door slid open, and they exited only to find a massive cage in the middle of a crowd and the sounds of beasts fighting while the crowd cheered wildly.
"This place is packed, and this fight is supposed to be illegal," Yan said, looking at the second half of the arena, where the boos and other VIPs were seated.
"This is bad," Alix said as an injured fox passed by them.
"You can't win a beast unless you have one fight it," Adora said as they approached the cage.
"They place bets and some people big the best fighters, it costs a lot, it's shady business, they catch the beasts in the forest and the mountains," Nina said as Adora clenched her fists and her tiger appeared beside her and she smiled then patted him on the head.
"You should keep him aside because he is large and rare, as well as powerful," Nina advised.
"Boy, what say you win me a few beasts?" Adora asked as she looked into the tiger's eyes, which glowed red and drew the attention of one of the VIPs.
"Are you sure about this?" Alix asked as the tiger rubbed his head against Alix's foot and Nina smiled.
"He likes you, which is unusual because he hates everyone else," Nina said, and it growled at her, causing her to move back, and Adora chuckled.
"If they ask who owns the tiger, tell them it's yours; I'll have him win you a beast, but you'll have to tame it; are you up to the task, Alix?" Adora inquired, and he scoffed then nodded yes for he wanted to see what it's like to have a beast of your own.
