Zane's POV
"Are you ready for today?" Roger asks me.
"Of course, I am." I say with a laugh.
Today we're going to see the new arrival of humans at Armond's club. I've been looking for a pet since my last one, Jeanette, died. Feisty one, she was. Had a spark in her that could be tamed by no one. Incredible really, how she gave away every fiber of her body trying to do something as ridiculous as fight against me for her freedom. I reminded her every day she'd never escape, but she never listened. Oh well, more fun for me. She was a challenge I'd always loved. My son, I decided, needs a pet to himself after never having one. There are certain protocols and ancient rules to owning a pet, especially for the one I'm searching for. If my son ever wants to become king when I step down, he must learn his place. He has to understand and follow the ancient rules, he has to straighten up.
Within the hour I arrive at Armond's club.

"Your highness, it's great to see you today. I figured I'd come greet you myself and see if there's anything you'd like to drink or that I can get you before the auction starts?"
"Yes. A scotch on the rocks, and make it the oldest you've got."
"Yes, of course boss."
As the auction starts up, I figure I should get a tamer pet for Damien, maybe check out a few shelters later to see if I could find a feisty one. It doesn't take me long to find a blue-eyed beauty to keep for my son. I easily out-bid the rest of the competition and soon she's brought to me. As I take her leash, I'm informed she's been well trained. I leave and take my son his new present. He did refuse to keep a pet at first, but eventually agreed when I stated it's a must if he wants to take my thrown as his own one day. I travel to 3 shelters, getting bored with the humans kept there. That is, until I reach the last one and speak to the owner.
"I think I found the perfect one," I whisper to myself, sitting in a chair while looking at her documents.
