Zane's POV The plane had just landed in Lester City airport. I climbed out of the plane only to see three cars waiting for me. " Is this my ride?"I asked Alex. " Yes... It's a Maybach," he said with a puzzled face. " I told you that I wanted to ride when I got here. Can't you do one thing right?" I said with an irritated voice as I made my way to one of the cars. " Don't worry, there's a race later on, I already have a bike waiting for you at the penthouse," he said to me. This isn't my first time in Lester City. The first time I came here, I was still a young boy. I came here with my mother, back then, I didn't know the truth about myself or my tragic destiny. Though I was still young, I was old enough to understand that there was something wrong with me. That I wasn't as normal as the other kids were. Soon, the truth came out and I wasn't prepared for it. It's ironic that I came back for the same reasons years later. My phone rang in my pocket. It was my mother. " Zane... where are you? I brought you lunch," she said to me. I didn't tell her that I was leaving Berlise, or that I was coming to Lester City. Even though she won't tell me why, but my mother hates this city. If I told her that I was going to Lester City, she would have forbade it. I am cursed, have been from the day I was born. There is only one person who can help me with this curse, or I might not live long enough to see the next five years. I heard that my savior was in this city, so I had to come. " I'm out of the city, I have some business to sort out, I'll be back in a couple of days," I said to her. " Zane, I don't know where you are, but I have a bad feeling about this... please come back home, whatever business you have can wait," she said to me. " It can't be delayed mother, it has to be done. Besides, I'm your son, I can't be killed," I said to her. " Zane, you are not immortal. You know your father and brother are waiting for the chance to take everything from us, you cannot be this careless! Come home Now!" she said to me. She is right, I know that my father has been keeping tabs on me, but he wouldn't be stupid enough to try anything, he knows that I will kill him and his degenerate son. " They wouldn't try anything, they know what I am capable of," I said to her. " Fine, just take care of yourself okay?" she said to me. " I promise," I said to her. " Eh... Eh... Eh," she said just as I was about to hang up. " What is it mother?" I asked her. " Do you have the Alexa I made for you last time?" she asked me. " I don't go anywhere without it," I said to her. " Good, I'll see you when you come back, and Zane..." she said softly. " Yes mother..." I said. " If you find a nice girl, human or werewolf, don't reject her. I know that you're meant to imprint on the one with the Phoenix blood, but it has been five years... you have to consider the possibility that you might never find her," she said to me, " Mother, I have to no choice, I have to find her. My life depends on it. I have a solid lead right now, I'm sure that it's only a matter of time till I find her," I said to my mother. " Zane, we have to consider the possibility that you might never find her, you don't have much time left... I think that you should spend whatever time you have finding happiness. Find a nice girl, marry her and have a kid. You're the only family I have. With a daughter-in-law and a grandchild, I won't die alone and lonely, not only that, but your father and brother won't be able to steal your legacy," she said to me. She is right, having a wife and child would give her a sense of family, but as for my legacy, any child I have will inherit not only my wealth, but my enemies, without me to protect them, I might as well hand everything over to my father and brother. " Can we talk about this when I return home?" I said. " Yes, we definitely can," she said sounding happy. " I haven't said yes yet," I said to her. " You're considering it, there's hope," she said. After I hung up, I gave it more thought. I have been living like a monk because of my curse, but also because I have no intentions of falling in love with anyone, not even the one I'm supposedly meant to be with. But I know that I am running out of time, and that when I die, my mother will be all alone in this world. For her, I might consider having a child, I would have to find someone with good werewolf genes, not a warm blooded human. " We're here," Alex said. I climbed out of the car and went to the penthouse suite. After my shower, I went downstairs to get something to eat. As Alex and I walked to the private room, I happened to catch a glimpse of a woman sitting alone at a dinner table. She kept on looking at her phone. I couldn't make out all of her features from a distance, but from what I could see, she was beautiful and elegant. Judging by the lengths of the burning candles on the table, she must have been sitting there for hours. I don't know who she was waiting for, but whoever it was, he was a jerk. Who makes a beautiful woman like that wait up all alone in a restaurant like this? " Ma'am, should I start serving the dishes?" a water asked her. " Just a few more minutes, I'm waiting for my husband," she said. " What are you looking at?" Alex asked and looked to where I was looking. " Nothing...let's go," I said and walked to the private room. Alex and I had dinner, after dinner, I received a call. " Boss, I think that we have finally found her this time," Alex said. " Then what are we waiting for? Let's go," I said to him. Leaving the restaurant, I kept on thinking about what I was going to say to convince the person I'm looking for to come back with me to Berlise. Though Lester is a beautiful city, a long time ago it served as a safe haven for witches. Centuries ago, witch hunts were on the rise, everyone was afraid of the power that witches had, so they built Lester City, a hundred witches gathered and created a blessing spell that prohibited the use of magic. Creatures like werewolves were affected by this, as long as they were in this city, they would never be able to turn on a full moon, which is why werewolves all left this city. Now, the city is overrun by humans. If the Phoenix blood werewolf is really here, I'm not surprised that we haven't been able to find her, but now, my search will finally come to an end, I have found her. Alex parked the car, as soon as we climbed out of the car, a hail of bullets rained on us. We docked behind the car. " It's an ambush... Our men are down," Alex said, he looked at me with panic all over his face. " You've been hit! Where's the Alexa?" he asked. " It's at the penthouse suite," I said to him. " It looks bad," he said. " Get out of here, find backup," I said to him. " I'm not leaving you here!" he said to me. " It's an order!" I said to him. " I'll be back for you okay?" he said to me. I didn't answer him, I took out my guns and began shooting to create cover while I made my way to one of the nearby buildings. My wound was beginning to burn, I pulled my shirt and saw black veins forming around the wound. They weren't shooting at us with normal bullets, these were mystical bullets laced with poison. I was getting weaker, I managed to get away and hail a nearby cab. Hiding my wound I sat in the back in agony. Every minute that passed made me feel weaker. When I finally made my way out of the car, I used the club's entrance, it was the quickest way to get to the penthouse suite. I barely made it to the door when someone saw me. " Help me..." I said to her.
