" This is Soo cute," June said looking at the cat that was eating without a care.

" Where did you steal a cat?" Blue asked him looking at it.

" It was in the mansion, probably been trapped there or accidentally wondered into the mansion, " he answered then went back to his phone.

He was still bitter that he was not getting a small cute cat but a big one that would eventually suffocate him. He still loved it but he having his young pure hopes shattered was not on his bucket list.

" What's her name?" Bethany asked. Alaric had already warned them against touching it until it got used to them. It was still a kitten and scared.

The doctor approximated that it would probably be a month or two old.

" I haven't thought of a name," he said looking up from his phone and meeting the eyes of the cat that now seemed interested.

" Pick a name?" Bethany pushed.

" Okay, so it's a girl and girls names ," he looked at her then though of a name ," I got it, I'll call you Gemma, cause you are pretty."

He met the cats eyes. It looked at him and then went back to eating. Alaric felt like jumping up he had gotten the approval. Now that he thought about, was he really asking a cat for approval and celebrating about getting it.

The wise ones didn't lie when they said cats are bewitching creatures. He was going to have to buy some morecat food since it was mutated and had a his appetite.

...

Alaric was parking his remaining clothes in huge suitcases while Gemma laid on his bed casually licking it's fur when a loud knock vibrated through the whole brothel.

He stood up and left his room irritated Wondering who could be so rude early in the morning.

When he reached the lobby he found five women standing there and from their body language, they didn't look happy .

" What can I do for you?" He asked politely. They looked older than him and he wasn't about to be rude for no reason. Maybe they might have a resting bitch face and he assumes they were angry.

" Little boy," Alaric felt like kicking something for being called that, " can you call the owner," one of the women said to him.

" It's me, can you just tell me what you need," he said Crossing his arms and leaning against the reception desk.

" No I know you are not the owner you liar," a woman who looked to be in her sixties shouted pointing at him.

He sighed inwardly.

" Can you call mama Martha for us,"the one who had called him little boy said her voice sharp.

"You really don't know or are you that inconsiderate," he said quietly. This people barged in then here they are clearly having not look up or care about anything and then act like they are on top of the world.

" What are you saying, just call mama Martha we are her friens" the sixties woman chimed in almost shouting.

Alaric felt like laughing, " seriously?"

They nodded.

" We've been friends for thirty years," the sixties woman said her voice loud and proud.

" Friends ,ha, what bullshit. Are you really her friends. She's been dead for over a month," Alaric said enjoying their shocked eyes," you must have been really good friends, " he added sarcastically.

They all looked at him in shock, from their looks they clearly didn't care at all about mama Martha.

Alaric rubbed the bridge of his nose and said coldly," let's put this stupid games away and tell me why you are really here."

" I can see you are moving?" One of the quiter ones asked looking around at the boxes everywhere. They had left those their soice they were not expecting anyone.

Alaric didn't answer but continued to stare at them. He wasn't going to indulge them since from the looks of it they were there to snoop. He knew this day would come sooner or later but not that fast.

" Why are you moving, you are supposed to protest," one of them said.

" Was there a rule that said I have to?" He asked his voice cold. Who did they think they were.

" Yes, every brothel is supposed to help. We are sisters in this business," the sixties one said. She seemed to like to family tie people to her.

Alaric laughed out loud at the absurdity of the sentence .

" Wow you didn't even notice one of your ' sisters ' was dead. That's some kind of strong bond you have there, " he said sarcastically.

" You! Just you wait you are going to regret this, " one of them said as they filled out of the brothel angrily.

Alaric face turned grave, he knew he had really pissed of most of the red districts now. This five owned the largest brothels each and had a huge influence in the red district.

And they were known to be vindictive. He had to move the girls out fast probably today and he could wrap things up in a day or two.

...

" Are you really sure we can leave you here?" Bethany asked looking at him worried.

" It's okay, I'm with kael. You can go and stay in the mansion ,Britney said it's livable," he said to assure her.

It was almost evening and he had hurriedly told them to finish their packing . They had all been reluctant at first until he promised to stay with kael.

He just had to clear the place up .

" I'll be there in a day or two, so make it pretty for me, " he said as he pulled her into a hug.

Alaric felt like he was going to war by the way they were reacting. He waved at them as they disappeared down the street with James driving them.

They also took the kitten with them. He had already started to miss it.

He walked back into the almost empty brothel and breathed in a sigh of relief.

He was almost home free.

"Alaric are you sure about this?" Kael asked as he came up behind him. Alaric turned and looked at him, " if we all just disappeare they'll look for us and would probably easily find us since we have to advertise to open, " he said looking out the open window.

He had already seen them looking towards their side.

" But.."

" No buts, they'll probably attack today or tomorrow," he said as he started to walk to his room," so be vigilant."

" Yes," he responded.

" Oh if you can't win run. Don't try to protect me I won't die that easily," Alaric called out from the top of the stairs.

He had an assassination to protect himself against. Just how had things spiralled this much? He thought to himself.

He really is making enemies left and right. He imagined as he grew stronger just how many enemies would he make.

It was midnight and Alaric was preparing to sleep when heard a loud bang as though something crushed onto the wall.

He summoned his whip and slowly opened the door, but the moment it was opened, blazes of icicles were fired rapidly towards.

He flicked his whip towards the oncoming icicles hitting most of them but some of them managed to pass through the Blindspot of the whip. They slashed through his skin but luckily avoided his face.

" Who's there?" he said as he stepped out of his room blood flowing from the small flash wounds.

" You are really good. Did you kill Jamal?" A voice came from the end of the hallway opposite him.

Alaric activated his skills. Velvet dominance and the whips natural attributes.

" Are you one of the extremest?" he asked as he flicked the whip over his shoulder and aimed it hard at the assassin in the dark.

A wall of ice appeared and his whip hit it only for a small crack to appear before it moved back to him.

" You could say that," he man answered.

Alaric suddenly felt a presence behind him but before he could react he was kicked right in the middle of his back . The kick was so hard that he was thrown towards the other end of the hall.

But he knew there was another assassin at the end , he flicked his whip and wrapped it around the beams in the lobby and his body changed direction narrowly escaping the icicles that were aimed at him.

He landed on the lobby and rolled on the floor before he came to a stop and stood up wiping the blood from his noise. He could feel that a rib had been cracked by the kick.

The person was probably a strength awakener. Alaric had not felt him approach until he was near. He probably came through the balcony.

He looked Infront of him so see kael on the ground lying against the wall groaning. That must be where all the noise came from. They must have attacked him before they came for him. He thought as he walked towards him.

" Alaric behind you!"
