The closest one step in front of the cabinet that she is hiding at, the creature slowly inspecting the door he was about to touch when the loud knocking of the door caught them on guard. The two immediately run out of the bar.
Barrett let out a sigh of relief but still being careful not to make any sound, observing the surroundings and making sure that both creatures had run out. She carefully brought out herself, crawling her way back to the VIP room where she left Mielle.
The wolves were running, keeping the prey on their sight surr

Barrett: Heart of Promise 37 Her first task
“I have the report done by Thursday evening.” He replied while sorting out the documents that Denzell has to sign, “I’ve heard that one of the employees is on leave?” he asked his assistant regarding one of the employees that is supposed to deliver the attendees to him. “Ah right, I’ve dealt with it, I’ve found a reliever to her position, also I have notified the human resource department on that matter.” His face clearly shows the dissatisfaction as he remembers how hard it was to debate with the HR Manager as he requested to rush the hiring. “We have a process in the company, it doesn’t mean that you work under the CEO, you will have to overlap ours.” Samantha, who happened to be of the same kind as Gerard has been keeping him outside the box. “It’s an e

“Why did you just tell me now? It’ll take hours to do just a single page of this one!” One of the employees yelled at the other, it seems that the junior employee did forget to remind the Senior secretary of a presentation. Barrett and the rest of the department looked at the scolding Senior employee so early in the morning, it was then the arrival of Gerard the head of the department and asked what the commotion is all about. “It is your negligence as an employee for not keeping things in check, however we see to it, both sides have a fault, as a Senior employee how could you trust this to your subordinate alone?” He did solve the problem but did not let them off the hook by scolding both sides. This is how he managed things, he never took the side of any employee to bring fairness and no favoritism. “No matter how much I

“Gerard, who made this report?” Denzell put down the folder at his table, Gerard looked over it and checked the document. “It was Miss Borton who made this report. She passed this early in the morning.” He informed the CEO who is thinking deeply. “I checked it before submitting, this is quite neat from her reports before, I think she improved.” He added, but still Denzell is not satisfied. “Asked their team and inquired who helped her do the report.” He ordered him again, so Gerard got curious, “May I ask why? You look troubled.” “There’s just one thing I need to confirm. That’s all.” It seems that he doesn’t want to explain further so Gerard only nodded and went out of the office. On his way, he saw the team he sc

“Denzell?” It was a first name basis and Gerard inches an eyebrow upon hearing it, who dared call the dragon king and CEO by his first name? However, as he looks at Denzell, he is amused at the current situation and quickly gets it. She is the woman of the rumors, the girl who has knocked off the hard stone heart of this cold dragon. “So you happen to know each other?” He quickly asked, the way Denzell looks at him could cut him into half already but he immediately refutes. “I didn’t do any research.” He mouthed to him. Denzell cleared his throat and immediately turned to Barrett, he had been missing this face and wanted to embrace her but he needed restraint. “So… Barrett, you actually applied here at IIC?” He confirms.
Barrett: Heart of Promise 41 Caught with the Mafias
The management meeting proceeded as planned and was wrapped up in a good flag. The directors were all satisfied once again from the results that the IIC has presented, and of course the report that Barrett has made has made a big impact. “The summative report was made so well, I didn’t have a hard time ingesting the information, you got yourself a good secretary Mr. Edelgard.” One of the Board of Directors, Mr. Rodneil, also one of those who knew the Dragon Kin, keeps on singing praises to his long time business partner and friend. You may look at them like a father and son, however, it was the other way around. Cristellon Rodneil is a descendant of one of the few servants of the Dragon King, it was a long family history that was protected by both the Edelgards and his family. The family has been in the guidance and protection of the Dragon King as well as th
Barrett: Heart of Promise 42 Welcome Party to disaster
The commotion was long forgotten by everyone in the department as the news spread that the welcoming party will be held in the evening. To add more about the good news, the whole company was informed of the dating rumor of the CEO. It is like a wildfire that cannot be stopped, passed by mouth to mouth and even an addition of facts and actualities, once again the woman of the rumor came to rise. The restaurants had a classic Chinese style interior, as you enter the lobby you can see a huge imitation of a cherry tree in the middle of a man made swamp. The dim light accentuates the pink blossoms and makes you feel like in an ancient scenery you watch in movies. Barrett was amazed at how pretty it was. Everyone seated in the reserved hall for the secretarial department was served with the best cuisines and desserts, she enjoyed the night eating together with her
Barrett: Heart of Promise 43 I know you are a wolf
There is an unspoken dislike between Agatha and Damien as she turns to the two. “Hey Barrett, so are you coming with us?” Agatha again asked her, it’s like she’s throwing down the gauntlet to Damien who shows a clear discontentment with the two. “Isn’t it a bit late, and Barrett already got a few drinks. It’s better to head home.” Damien interrupts Agatha. “Hey! I am asking Barrett! Not you!” “Uhm, you two please.” Barrett was torn between the two and was so noisy that the other people noticed them. Denzell and Gerard who just finished paying the bill went out of the door and saw the commotion. “Aha! That’s interesting!” Gerard said, “How can she get involved with the wolves? Do you know this?”
Barrett: Heart of Promise 44 Welcome Back Home
They were told to head to the training ground in the back mansion, it was an open terrain that extends to the forest just as what has been told to her. Barrett felt dizzy at how great the family of Yngvird was, while she is just an orphan who happens to meet him at school. Barely even living her life after the blessing of her name. The three of them were led to seats at the resting table prepared; it was late in the evening so the cold breeze that touches her face reminds of her childhood. The smell of pine trees was carried by the wind and the sounds of cicadas tickling her ears. “It’s too late, what the hell did Maynard do at the training ground at this time of hour?” Agatha complains, then they hear footsteps heading to them. “B-Barrett? Why are you here?” It was Maynard, who was wet from sweat glistening to h

Upon the arrival of Duke Pencillo, he immediately ran to the second floor.

Barrett: Heart of Promise Epilogue
The Nohrmann Association has been dissolved, the people behind the series of deaths and disappearances, be it human, werewolf or vampire were captured. The whole city that was once destroyed by the creature's war started the renovations and infrastructures. The humans who got caught in the war are first hesitant to accept the existence of the creatures whom they only know in books and movies. With the help of those who have been supporting them behind and the other people who were saved by the werewolves and dragons, a treaty of peace and coexistence has been passed. At first it was not accepted, especially by those who have lost their loved ones and have traumas of that nightmare. The Yngvirds foundation, the ones that they have been building off to enter the industry, has taken the lead by employing both races and creating a fa
Barrett: Heart of Promise 101 Entrusting the heart to you
Barrett has known from them that the rogues and human vampire experiments were all over the town causing havoc and that for the first the werewolves defend and fight alongside with the dragons, assisting with their magic and evacuating the civilians. At this moment the three lords of each kind were about to fight head on, with Barrett’s statement of the current situation it seems that the Silversnow castle is filled mostly with controlled servants. That the possibility of casualties will be lesser as they can only capture them and make them lose consciousness. Unlike what is happening in town which was a tremendous fight of flesh, strength and mind, this one is a battle that will result in the safety of the rest who are living in this war. The forces have been dispatched and the rest have already infiltrated the castle, as Barrett claims, there were only serv

For the past weeks the human realm is in turmoil as the vampires under Cliverio’s hypnotism and the experimental creatures under the Norhmann association were causing havoc. The local government as well as the military of each country who were aware of the existence of the creatures has decided to join forces in order to protect the civilians and the rest of the community.

The forest is still and quiet, only the gushing wind can be heard, even their breaths were held, a few since then, the entire dragon clan and werewolves have joined forces in order to find Barrett’s whereabouts. “She is still nowhere to be found, the leads are bringing us to a blind spot and we have to start from scratch again.” Myrvinne, who has dark circles under his eyes, has been working for the past weeks tracing wherever the Norhmann association has brought Barrett into captivity. The Yngvirds, Lymuels and the other clan have come together to search for a human. “I am amazed at how a human can move even us werewolves…” One of the family leaders spoke. “Isn’t she the mate of the dragon king? She must have possessed great beauty.” The elders and the other family leaders have never caught sight of Barrett in p

“I just can’t believe it.” she shook her head in disbelief, “So you're telling me right now that you have travelled from the ‘future' which means it is several centuries ahead of this current time?”Still trying to grasp the modern terminology of Barrett, both Argel and Carell were able to get what she meant.“Yes, you got it right.”“And you assume that you are my descendant?”“It’s just a hypothesis, when Carell is in a life and death situation, my chest suddenly hurts and as you all witnessed, my body is disappearing.” With her last proof, Argel gulped and was worried about Barrett.“If Carell were to die earlier, that means that Bare
