Lexus was not able to mutter any word as he saw with his own eyes the golden mark like a half-moon at the bosom of Daffodil. He fell silent; fear crept into his whole body.
“Daffodil, you are the missing golden she-wolf,” he murmured with a shaking voice.
“How sure are you that I am indeed the missing golden she-wolf Lexus? Just because I have golden eyes and golden marks?” Daffodil asked, still unconvinced.
“All the signs are with you, Daffodil.”Lexus said as he sat up, releasing Daffodil from his arms.
“What will I do, Lexus? I guess it is time for me to go back home and ask Mom and Dad about this matter.” She signed as she sat up too.
“No Daffodil. You need to learn more about yourself; unravel what’s hidden in that golden mark; let your wolf out and develop your mental powers. I will help you, Sweetheart.” Lexus exclaimed while looking at Daffodil with determination.
Daffodil shook her head. “I am a very busy Lexus person; I run companies and I have responsibilities to attend to, way back in my country.”
“Daffodil, you cannot avoid this. They will follow you wherever you go; now that they are able to smell your presence already, it will be easy for mighty Alphas to locate you.” Lexus is so certain about his words.
“Oh, I hate this! I should have just followed my Mom and Dad and never set foot in this place.” Daffodil sighed with frustration.
Lexus stretched his arms and reached for her shoulders. “You cannot turn back the time. It has already happened to Daffodil. All you have to do is to face it bravely and wisely. I am here; I will never leave you.”
“Lexus, I am a brave woman, but right now, I am starting to be afraid because of this,” Daffodil muttered.
“I am afraid too, Daffodil; you are my mate, and yet there are Alphas who are looking for you to make you either their wife or mistress. However, fear will not help us this time. We need to die down whatever fears we have now. We need to be bold and wise, Daffodil. You need to learn how to bring out the golden wolf in you.” Lexus embraced Daffodil tightly. He will not allow any Alpha to have her over his dead body.
“Then help me Lexus, but first come with me. I need to first return to my country to speak with Mom and Dad. I want you to be there to explain to them everything. We also have a rest house where we could stay while you train me.”
Lexus thought for a while. “We should not take a direct flight to your country in Los Angeles. We need to mislead anyone who might think of checking our flight out when the time comes. Let us book first going to Sydney and then we will just book our flight from Sydney to your country when we are there already.”
Daffodil nodded. “Yes, that’s right Lexus. I agree.”

They left the resort secretly early the next morning using Lexus' speed boat. Lexus docked his speed boat at the port where Anton, his human friend, whom he asked to rent a car, was already waiting for them to take them to the airport. Everything went smoothly.
However, when they were almost in the middle of their journey to the airport, a silver-dark-gray car cut them off. Three men went out of the car with guns pointing at their car, motioning for them to open and get out.
“Don’t move there, I will be the one to get out first if needed,” Anton said as he opened the door window beside him.
“Open the door and let your passengers get out.” One of the three men with guns ordered Anton but Anton was unfazed and asked.
“What’s wrong Sir? What do you want from us?” Anton asked with a calm voice.
“We just want to check who your passengers are. Let them out.” The same man replied sternly.
“They are from the Black Forest Pact Anton. Hit the gas pedal now, they cannot follow us inside the airport.” Lexus murmured to Anton, which the latter followed.
The three men with guns outside were surprised when Anton’s car ran speedily. The men tried to follow but they did not hit the line when the red light in the traffic signal suddenly blinked. They were forced to stop and all they could do was curse while looking at Anton’s car speed off in a flash.
“Anton, you need to hurry to return this car. Be safe.” Lexus tapped his friend’s shoulder before they got out of the car when they arrived at the airport’s entrance.
Lexus and Daffodil were able to book a flight and, luckily, they only waited for around thirty minutes before passengers for their booked flight had been called for boarding.
When they board the plane, Lexus suddenly smelled a wolf’s blood inside.
