”It would seem Alexander and the brat have run into the oldest son, Jonathan Wilderwolf and his uncle, Kil Wilderwolf. They have grouped up and have taken refuge at an inn called the Golden Cloud Inn.” Savre reported calmly.
”Oh, Jonathan is that genius child Magician, right? He's quite popular these days. He should be at the Late Inner Haven Rank, and his Uncle at the Late Stage Spirit Rank, like myself...” The Beast-Eyed Killer narrowed his eyes and clenched his teeth. This made things even more complicated. 'At least his wife isn't there... The Abstract Brush Magician. Or the two other Sky Magician's in their godforsaken family, the Heavenly Wolf Magician and Wolf King Magician.'
”Oh, you don't have to worry about those two though.” Savre said with a confident smile.
”Eh, why's that?” The Beast-Eyed Killer narrowed his eyes questioningly at Savre.
”Right now, the young genius Jonathan Wilderwolf should be partaking in the Wilderwolf's tradition where they go on a journey when they reach the age of 16. Currently, he's been travelling about with his Uncle for more than half the year and this should still be ongoing. I believe him meeting his father was a big coincidence and they should split up again in a few days, maybe sooner.” Savre explained.
”Haha, that really good. That makes things a little more simpler.” The Beast-Eyed Killer's mouth twisted into a nasty grin. ”So how are their defenses, can we act tonight?”
”That... I'm afraid that its not doable.” Savre's expression turned wry as he shook his head with a sigh. ”The Wilderwolf's personal army lives up to its reputation. They have surrounded the inn and left little to no gap for entry. Not only is the inn guarded, but its also rather compact, with all of the Wilderwolf members living close to each other. It is likely that even if we get passed their soldier's detection, we would most likely be caught by one of them, especially a Sky Magician like Alexander Wilderwolf.”
”Alexander, the Frigid Wolf Magician!” Beast-Eyed Killer gritted his teeth in anger. ”It would seem we will have to wait for them to leave the city... Our best option would be to act when they are in a more secluded location.”
”I fear that this is our best course of action.” Savre nodded in agreement.

The next day, the kitten awoke with a satisfying yawn. Her eyes still closed, she snuggled into the warmth that pressed against her soft belly. Hugging that warmth close, Lexa heavily debated on the merits of getting up or just staying asleep a little longer...
Sadly for the kitten, this decision was made for her when she suddenly felt herself being lifted from that source of that warmth. Opening her eyes abruptly, it was only then that she noticed that the warm thing pressed against her belly was the face of her newly acquired partner, Andria.
Having just woke up, Andria was shocked to find only darkness when her eyes opened and she let out a long scream!
Lexa was shocked in return and lost her footing. Immediately she tumbled backwards and rolled down the length of Andria's upper body, landing awkwardly but softly on the covers covering her legs. Lexa blinked her eyes in a daze, she was feeling a little ditsy.
A second later, the door to the room was slammed open, revealing the anxious faces of Jonathan, Alexander and Kil.
”Andria?!” Jonathan shouted in exasperation as he thought his little sister was in danger, only to look on stupidly as he saw the innocent scene of Andria sitting up on her bed with the kitten on her lap.
